1
00:00:00.350 --> 00:00:02.350
Well, I have a word in the house today.
2
00:00:02.649 --> 00:00:04.940
If you're ready for the word, I need you to
3
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.820
put some likes and some comments and some praise hands
4
00:00:07.900 --> 00:00:09.039
and some amens and.
5
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:09.580
Make some noise.
6
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.449
Now, I need to let you know that I've worked
7
00:00:12.509 --> 00:00:15.230
on some new technology, that there's nobody in the room
8
00:00:15.269 --> 00:00:17.359
right now except like my mama and Charles.
9
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.800
And the worship team, but I can feel your holler
10
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:21.760
back at me, okay?
11
00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:24.940
Spiritually, I ask the Holy Spirit to let me be
12
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.059
able to feel, because there's some of y'all watching in
13
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.780
Africa right now, in Georgia right now, Dallas is in
14
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.659
the building right now, Houston is in the building, Cali
15
00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:34.640
is here right now.
16
00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:36.399
Wherever you're watching from, all.
17
00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:38.780
I'm asking you to do, if something is good, if
18
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.579
it agrees with you, I need you to act like
19
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.520
you're in the building. Cause I can feel it. And
20
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.509
the better you help me, the better I'm a preach
21
00:00:44.549 --> 00:00:44.920
right now.
22
00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:47.810
Okay. So can I get one big amen from everybody?
23
00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:48.189
Come on.
24
00:00:48.729 --> 00:00:51.789
Can I get one more big amen from everybody? That's
25
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:55.250
what we're saying. So be it. Well, we are starting
26
00:00:55.369 --> 00:00:59.439
week one of a brand new series that I'm entitling.
27
00:00:59.899 --> 00:01:01.700
Who is the minister here?
28
00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:05.939
And the honest to God truth is I've been planning
29
00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:09.689
this series for two years and And there is no
30
00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.359
way that I would have known that we would be
31
00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:16.859
at this crossroads in society at this moment.
32
00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:17.519
But God did.
33
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.400
And he wanted me to challenge every person that is
34
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:28.189
watching and hearing this broadcast, this message, this playback. to
35
00:01:28.329 --> 00:01:32.170
really evaluate if you have truly answered the call that
36
00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:35.180
God has brought you to this earth for. And I
37
00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:37.840
know some of you right now, your job you thought
38
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.099
was your calling, but when they laid you off last week,
39
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.140
you found out that you were expendable there.
40
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.980
That's not why God called you. That wasn't your source.
41
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.870
That was a resource. But at the.
42
00:01:49.810 --> 00:01:52.650
Moment where everything is scaled back and movie theaters are
43
00:01:52.689 --> 00:01:55.599
closed and sports are shut down and all of our
44
00:01:55.659 --> 00:01:59.680
honestly distractions to our purpose have now folded up in
45
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.950
one week. God's asking, now can I have your attention
46
00:02:04.269 --> 00:02:06.810
so that you can do what I created you and
47
00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:09.620
sent you here for? I'm about to come all in
48
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.750
your business today. So let me, okay, who's on mic? Okay,
49
00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:16.469
let's get them started. Let's play a little game right now.
50
00:02:17.050 --> 00:02:18.810
And I want to play a little game called who's
51
00:02:18.889 --> 00:02:21.280
the minister, okay? And I'm going to put a picture
52
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.599
on the screen and I need you to see if
53
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.020
you can identify the minister in the picture.
54
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.639
Let's try this. Who's the minister? Does anybody know who
55
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.020
that is? Okay. Some of y'all said T.D. Jakes. Okay.
56
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:33.719
I hear you. Some of y'all are like, I don't know.
57
00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:36.620
Who is that? All right. Let's try another one. Who's
58
00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:40.759
the minister here? Okay. Does anybody know who the minister is? Okay.
59
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.930
I hear somebody saying Joyce Myers and other people.
60
00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:46.389
Said, that's my Aunt Sally. Okay. That ain't your Aunt Sally. Okay.
61
00:02:46.710 --> 00:02:47.449
Let's look.
62
00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:51.229
Who's the minister here? Now, some of you said Pastor
63
00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:51.909
Stephen Furtick.
64
00:02:52.009 --> 00:02:52.289
Okay.
65
00:02:52.750 --> 00:02:55.050
Others of you are saying that's the guy who does
66
00:02:55.090 --> 00:02:56.490
my laundry every week.
67
00:02:56.710 --> 00:02:57.490
Okay. Here we go.
68
00:02:57.610 --> 00:03:01.289
Who's the minister here? Now, some of y'all be like,
69
00:03:01.310 --> 00:03:06.729
that's you. And when I think about the question of
70
00:03:06.810 --> 00:03:09.889
who's the minister here, many of you, if you knew
71
00:03:09.930 --> 00:03:12.969
the people in the pictures, you identified the pastor or
72
00:03:13.009 --> 00:03:14.050
the teacher in the picture.
73
00:03:15.050 --> 00:03:16.830
You did not identify the minister.
74
00:03:17.830 --> 00:03:20.009
See, because if I was to ask you right now,
75
00:03:20.150 --> 00:03:22.150
and if you were in this building with me, and
76
00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:24.930
I said, hey, who's the minister here? 4,500 hands would
77
00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:29.800
point at me. And at that moment, I would say,
78
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.069
you're wrong. See, I'm not the minister here. Write down
79
00:03:34.129 --> 00:03:37.090
point number one of this series. You are the minister here.
80
00:03:38.310 --> 00:03:40.250
And see, some of you are saying, Pastor Mike, no,
81
00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:42.289
I can't be the minister because you don't know what
82
00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:44.590
I deal with. You don't know what I've done. You
83
00:03:44.629 --> 00:03:46.689
don't know where I come from. You don't know what
84
00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:49.939
things I'm still fighting with. But the problem is that
85
00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:52.379
I see in the body of Christ right now is
86
00:03:52.419 --> 00:03:55.740
the body of Christ is so fragile because the weight
87
00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:58.620
of the whole of the purpose that God wants to
88
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.090
do has been resting on a few.
89
00:04:02.629 --> 00:04:04.469
Let me give you an actual picture of this.
90
00:04:05.409 --> 00:04:08.479
See, because what's happening right now is this is many
91
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.229
of the people that you think are ministers.
92
00:04:10.909 --> 00:04:13.310
Oh, that's Pastor Mike. That's Pastor T.D. Jakes. Oh, that's
93
00:04:13.349 --> 00:04:15.530
my pastor at First Community Church. That's my pastor at
94
00:04:15.810 --> 00:04:16.980
First Ebenezer Baptist.
95
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.339
That's my pastor at Number One Colgic Church. Okay, whatever
96
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.000
your church is, I don't care about denominations, but we
97
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.199
think it's the pastor, the prophet, the apostle, the teacher.
98
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.839
And then something happens in culture and society where the
99
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.040
church is supposed to hold the weight. But when you
100
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.639
put it on somebody like this, they get crushed. They
101
00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:39.839
can't hold it up. And then something else happens and
102
00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:43.920
they get crushed. It's because there's not enough people who
103
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.120
are full that are able to hold up the weight
104
00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:51.279
when society has questions. When people are saying, where is God?
105
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.759
There's a few people standing up. But God said, every
106
00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:58.019
child that was born of me should be standing up
107
00:04:58.189 --> 00:05:01.329
and not ashamed of the gospel. But there's too many
108
00:05:01.430 --> 00:05:05.230
people who have not been identified or accepted the call
109
00:05:05.269 --> 00:05:09.410
that they're the minister. What would happen if people that
110
00:05:09.529 --> 00:05:11.790
are working at the school system and people that are
111
00:05:11.870 --> 00:05:14.910
arts and entertainment and people that are working at the
112
00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:18.629
bus stop and people that are working at the daycare
113
00:05:18.870 --> 00:05:22.449
and stay-at-home moms and all of these people would take
114
00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:25.689
their place as ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
115
00:05:25.889 --> 00:05:30.970
When society comes to crush, we would be ones that
116
00:05:31.009 --> 00:05:34.290
are able to stand. Somebody say, I'm the minister here.
117
00:05:35.569 --> 00:05:38.769
And what happens if you get in your place and
118
00:05:38.829 --> 00:05:41.370
when somebody has a question at your.
119
00:05:41.230 --> 00:05:44.600
School, at your job, not they got to come to
120
00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:46.660
the church, but we are the church.
121
00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:49.639
I feel this thing. And we step into their world.
122
00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:52.680
Then you get some other ministers to come up in
123
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.680
their spot, in finances, in the stock market. And when
124
00:05:56.779 --> 00:06:02.709
other situations come. that we will be able to be
125
00:06:02.769 --> 00:06:06.490
the ones, no matter the situation, to be able to stand.
126
00:06:06.810 --> 00:06:12.120
And then we can teach our children how in the
127
00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:16.920
midst of a pandemic, we don't lose our faith. In
128
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.680
the midst of being laid off, we understand that that
129
00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.819
job was a resource, but God is my source. He
130
00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:25.829
was Jehovah Jireh, my provider, all.
131
00:06:25.750 --> 00:06:28.649
The way back to Moses. He brought water out of rocks.
132
00:06:30.350 --> 00:06:33.959
And what you don't understand about this example is these
133
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:38.720
ministers that have been holding all the weight, they're actually empty.
134
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.620
But if ministers would take their place and be full
135
00:06:43.670 --> 00:06:47.449
of the Holy Spirit, it would give people who are
136
00:06:47.610 --> 00:06:52.230
empty the opportunity to stay in a place long enough
137
00:06:52.269 --> 00:06:56.120
where they could heal and still be a part of
138
00:06:56.180 --> 00:07:00.129
what God wants to do. but not be thrown off
139
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.480
because they don't have enough in them. What I'm saying
140
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.139
to everybody that's watching me right now is God saying,
141
00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:12.240
will I have to look for another or can I
142
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.000
use you to be my minister at that soccer field,
143
00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:22.339
on that campus? online right now as social distancing is
144
00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:25.360
taking over. Could you use your text message thread not
145
00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:29.240
to sext people, but to actually, uh-oh, to lift up
146
00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:31.459
the name of Jesus? Could you use it not to
147
00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:34.589
complain and gossip, but could you spread the gospel with it?
148
00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:38.259
Could I get somebody to be my minister? Somebody said,
149
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.439
I'm the minister here. Come on, somebody say, I'm the
150
00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:45.300
minister here. And that's what I want everybody to know.
151
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.600
So I want us to go to Ephesians chapter four,
152
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.240
verse 11. I'm preaching harder than y'all was in the building.
153
00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.920
I feel this thing right now. I see God doing
154
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.129
something in somebody. Faith is coming alive in somebody right now.
155
00:07:56.370 --> 00:07:58.810
You're realizing that the reason God hasn't let you off
156
00:07:58.850 --> 00:08:01.110
that job was because he sent you in there as
157
00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:03.889
a secret agent. You are the minister at that place.
158
00:08:04.149 --> 00:08:06.569
The reason you're trying to step into this other lane
159
00:08:06.589 --> 00:08:08.680
and God says, I need you right there. It's because
160
00:08:08.709 --> 00:08:11.300
if I could get enough of my ministers spread out
161
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.699
all in government and I could get enough of my
162
00:08:13.779 --> 00:08:17.620
ministers spread out in every mountain of society.
163
00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:22.579
Maybe a banner could be lifted up in the kingdom
164
00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:25.279
of God. We'd be expanded. Somebody just shout at me.
165
00:08:25.660 --> 00:08:26.740
I'm the minister here.
166
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.839
Look at Ephesians 411 because some of y'all like that
167
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:31.540
doesn't make sense.
168
00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:35.379
Rev, you the minister. Bishop, you the minister.
169
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.799
I think that this has been a misnomer in the
170
00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:42.299
body of Christ that has jacked up people's theology and
171
00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:47.370
jacked up people's responsibility. Because what ends up happening is
172
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.850
you leave the four walls of the church and you
173
00:08:50.889 --> 00:08:53.429
think that, oh, this pandemic is happening.
174
00:08:53.889 --> 00:08:57.210
I hope the pastor's doing something. Oh, wow.
175
00:08:58.029 --> 00:09:00.929
There's a crisis in the land. I hope those people
176
00:09:00.990 --> 00:09:02.309
are praying and God said, hold on.
177
00:09:03.629 --> 00:09:03.870
What?
178
00:09:05.509 --> 00:09:07.460
I'll let you see that post. I'll let you come
179
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.940
in contact with that homeless person. I'll let you be
180
00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:12.580
born into that family to stand up and be the
181
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.240
minister there. See, some of y'all are mad right now,
182
00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:18.860
but I'm trying to call you to another level of
183
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:23.740
responsibility and calling. Look what Ephesians 4.11 says. It says,
184
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.990
now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church.
185
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.759
Now listen to what he gave to the church. He
186
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.730
gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors
187
00:09:33.870 --> 00:09:40.509
and teachers. Now watch, their responsibility is to equip God's
188
00:09:40.629 --> 00:09:45.070
people to do his work and build up the church,
189
00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:48.909
the body of Christ. Another translation says their job is
190
00:09:48.950 --> 00:09:54.419
to equip the saints for the work of ministry. So
191
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.779
my job as your pastor is not to.
192
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.330
Minister to you. It's to equip you to minister to others.
193
00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:08.759
Did you just read it in the word? You've been thinking, oh, yes, today, Pastor.
194
00:10:09.059 --> 00:10:11.379
He just ministered to me. Hey, he did a work.
195
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.860
It was God. No, no, no, baby. You were here
196
00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:15.059
supposed to be taking notes.
197
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.419
You were here trying to, you needed to take the
198
00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:20.179
scriptures I said, translate them in your mind and how
199
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:21.399
you do it because you've got to.
200
00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:23.879
Give that away and minister to somebody else.
201
00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:27.629
God said the reason I gave pastors, prophets, apostles was
202
00:10:27.730 --> 00:10:30.830
not to be glorified in It was to glorify me
203
00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:33.370
and equip others. And that's why I got to come
204
00:10:33.429 --> 00:10:36.710
against this religious spirit that tries to make pastors and
205
00:10:36.809 --> 00:10:39.850
prophets and all these people on this pedestal like.
206
00:10:39.769 --> 00:10:43.309
They boo-boo don't stink. Listen to me. Their greatest role
207
00:10:43.450 --> 00:10:44.210
is a servant.
208
00:10:44.450 --> 00:10:48.309
We are built and called to equip people to be
209
00:10:48.389 --> 00:10:50.120
able to go out. If you're a pastor or a
210
00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:52.320
prophet and you're the only one can do what you're doing,
211
00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:55.980
you need to move. Because the goal is that other
212
00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:57.000
people would.
213
00:10:56.899 --> 00:11:00.559
Be able to do greater works. Even our Jesus said
214
00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:01.419
greater works.
215
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:07.080
Now, if Jesus, the only man that lived a sinless life,
216
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:12.970
had a plan for the ministers to do greater than him.
217
00:11:13.909 --> 00:11:17.330
Why are you the greatest person in your organization, ministry
218
00:11:17.409 --> 00:11:17.850
and church?
219
00:11:17.889 --> 00:11:18.730
And you've been there for 20 years.
220
00:11:21.269 --> 00:11:22.970
I'm going to get hate mail for this one, but
221
00:11:23.009 --> 00:11:24.129
it's the word anyhow.
222
00:11:26.149 --> 00:11:27.289
And some of y'all are sitting.
223
00:11:27.110 --> 00:11:29.830
There like, okay, so a pastor's job, a teacher's job
224
00:11:30.269 --> 00:11:31.070
is to equip me?
225
00:11:31.830 --> 00:11:37.379
Yes. You're the minister. I'm the minister's Mr. Miyagi.
226
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:40.299
Now, I don't know if y'all have ever watched Karate Kid,
227
00:11:40.870 --> 00:11:43.070
but in my heart, in my mind, when I get
228
00:11:43.129 --> 00:11:44.870
up here, when I study all through the week, when
229
00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:47.929
I'm trying to get a revelation, it's not because I'm
230
00:11:47.990 --> 00:11:50.789
about to have to go fight. Do y'all remember Karate Kid,
231
00:11:51.009 --> 00:11:54.399
where Daniel's son and Mr. Miyagi was there, and Mr.
232
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.419
Miyagi was teaching Daniel how to wax on? and wax
233
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.720
off and it didn't look like it had anything to
234
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.220
do with the battle that they were about to face
235
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.799
and the opposition they were about to come up against.
236
00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:07.769
But what he was trying to do is give him
237
00:12:07.889 --> 00:12:10.529
reps in something that he know he would be able
238
00:12:10.590 --> 00:12:13.509
to use later. And I think that's what I'm supposed
239
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:16.230
to do is tell you, yeah, keep honoring God first
240
00:12:16.309 --> 00:12:20.029
in tithing, even during a pandemic. Wax on and wax off.
241
00:12:20.070 --> 00:12:23.210
Stop gossiping when you come around your family. Come on,
242
00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:25.240
I want you to keep on reading your word and
243
00:12:25.269 --> 00:12:27.639
meditate on my word day and night. and I want
244
00:12:27.659 --> 00:12:30.340
you to turn off Netflix and be able to get
245
00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:33.240
in my presence. All I'm trying to do is teach
246
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.019
you the principles that when you come up against a
247
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.899
pandemic or you come against your Aunt Pam, I don't
248
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.470
know what's worse for some of y'all. Some of y'all,
249
00:12:41.490 --> 00:12:43.590
it's a pandemic, and some of y'all, y'all scared more
250
00:12:43.830 --> 00:12:46.350
of your Aunt Pam. But whatever you come up against,
251
00:12:46.690 --> 00:12:49.049
what God is saying is the things that you do
252
00:12:49.350 --> 00:12:52.049
and you learn from the apostles and the prophets and
253
00:12:52.070 --> 00:12:54.500
the teachers, those are the very things that are going
254
00:12:54.509 --> 00:12:56.320
to allow you to get in the middle of a
255
00:12:56.379 --> 00:12:58.159
battle and win the war.
256
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.820
I don't know. I see myself as Mr. Miyagi. I'm
257
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.960
the minister's help.
258
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.289
And until you get in your place, I don't have
259
00:13:10.350 --> 00:13:15.029
anybody to actually equip. We have a whole bunch of
260
00:13:15.070 --> 00:13:17.110
people that are tuning in right now at the tunes
261
00:13:17.429 --> 00:13:19.830
of hundreds of thousands of people. But I wonder how
262
00:13:19.870 --> 00:13:24.190
many people have answered the call of a minister. I
263
00:13:24.230 --> 00:13:26.309
wonder how many of you are still sitting there like, oh,
264
00:13:26.350 --> 00:13:28.259
he's saying some good stuff. But what I'm trying to
265
00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:31.759
do is push you out of your place of complacency
266
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.639
and let you know that in the gated neighborhood that
267
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:35.799
you live in, you're.
268
00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:36.539
The minister there.
269
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.639
And so I need you to understand this. My job
270
00:13:42.710 --> 00:13:46.049
is to equip God's people to do his work and
271
00:13:46.090 --> 00:13:46.889
build the church.
272
00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:47.870
I like that.
273
00:13:48.809 --> 00:13:52.809
Equip God's people. Do his work and build the church.
274
00:13:53.090 --> 00:13:55.809
What's my job? What's my job? I said, equip God's people.
275
00:13:56.470 --> 00:13:59.950
Do his work and build his church. Come on, pastors.
276
00:14:00.009 --> 00:14:01.809
Come on. Equip God's people.
277
00:14:02.429 --> 00:14:05.470
Do his work and build the church. So we need
278
00:14:05.509 --> 00:14:09.480
to break those three things down because without understanding, you
279
00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:12.039
don't know what that really means. So let's answer those questions.
280
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.320
Who are God's people? What is his work? And how
281
00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:18.059
do you build the church? Let's start with number one.
282
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.779
Who are God's people? Look at Romans 10, 9. It says,
283
00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:25.559
if you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe
284
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:28.610
in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
285
00:14:29.210 --> 00:14:33.870
you will be saved. You just became God's people. And
286
00:14:33.909 --> 00:14:36.549
some of y'all be like, that's too easy. They need
287
00:14:36.570 --> 00:14:38.460
to change their life. They were smoking yesterday.
288
00:14:38.529 --> 00:14:41.179
Hold up one second. Just hold up. Back up for
289
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.529
one second. This is the same way that every one
290
00:14:44.549 --> 00:14:45.309
of us is saved.
291
00:14:45.690 --> 00:14:48.009
If we was out clubbing last night, if we was
292
00:14:48.070 --> 00:14:50.610
drunk or high last night, if we were lying last night,
293
00:14:50.870 --> 00:14:53.529
if we were in an alternate lifestyle sexually last night,
294
00:14:53.610 --> 00:14:55.870
it doesn't matter because at the moment you do what
295
00:14:55.909 --> 00:14:59.230
Romans 10, nine says, God says it's even at.
296
00:14:59.210 --> 00:15:00.330
The foot of the cross.
297
00:15:00.610 --> 00:15:02.960
And Christians and believers try to make there be big
298
00:15:03.009 --> 00:15:06.580
sins and little sins, but everybody is even. And he says,
299
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.080
all you gotta do is believe. I sent my son,
300
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.600
he died for you and he rose again. And it said,
301
00:15:11.659 --> 00:15:14.200
you are saved. And I know I'm fighting that religious
302
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.039
spirit right now. That's telling people that ain't what I believe,
303
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.539
but I got a scripture for you too. So look
304
00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.639
at it in Mark chapter two, verse 16, because religious
305
00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:26.039
people who are judgmental aren't new. That's been around since
306
00:15:26.110 --> 00:15:27.330
Jesus was walking the earth.
307
00:15:27.610 --> 00:15:28.350
And there was some.
308
00:15:28.250 --> 00:15:32.830
Teachers of religious law who were Pharisees and they saw him,
309
00:15:32.929 --> 00:15:37.450
that's Jesus, eating with tax collectors and other sinners, which
310
00:15:37.509 --> 00:15:39.830
all of us are without the grace of God.
311
00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:42.580
And then they went up to not even Jesus. They
312
00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:44.019
went up to his disciples.
313
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.580
And they asked him, why does he eat with such scum?
314
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.500
I don't know why my voice just went to that
315
00:15:51.570 --> 00:15:53.330
right now, but that's what it felt like. They just
316
00:15:53.429 --> 00:15:57.350
bougie and got high voices. And it says Jesus overheard them.
317
00:15:57.370 --> 00:16:00.009
And look what he did. He said, y'all need to know.
318
00:15:59.950 --> 00:16:00.750
One thing about your boy.
319
00:16:02.210 --> 00:16:06.720
I've come to call not those who think they are righteous.
320
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:08.539
Ooh, ain't that good?
321
00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:11.399
Because some of y'all right now are sitting next to
322
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.879
people that you would consider yourself better than. But God
323
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.370
says our righteousness is like filthy rags in his presence.
324
00:16:19.110 --> 00:16:20.389
That's why we need God.
325
00:16:20.629 --> 00:16:25.629
He said, literally, I didn't come to call those who
326
00:16:25.710 --> 00:16:30.590
think they're righteous, but those who know that they are sinners.
327
00:16:31.509 --> 00:16:34.159
This is the good news for everybody that knows you've
328
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:34.860
been wilding out.
329
00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:36.000
You know it.
330
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.299
And if you know that you've been far from God
331
00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:44.000
and that he's calling you to another place and you
332
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:45.860
don't want to keep living your own life the way
333
00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:47.679
you've been living it because it's not gotten you the
334
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.399
results that you think you needed and wanted. He says,
335
00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:53.340
come to me and all you have to do is
336
00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:56.519
receive what I have done through my son by faith.
337
00:16:56.610 --> 00:16:59.659
Everybody say by faith. This is not by works.
338
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:01.759
This is not about how many times I do good
339
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.740
deeds or how many times I didn't.
340
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.380
Cuss or how many times. This is by faith.
341
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:10.269
Everybody say by faith. When you receive by faith, you're
342
00:17:10.309 --> 00:17:12.950
God's people. So who are God's people? I'm going to
343
00:17:12.990 --> 00:17:16.430
give you the MLT just real definition real quick. Sinners
344
00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:19.490
who receive Jesus as their Savior.
345
00:17:20.269 --> 00:17:20.890
Point blank period.
346
00:17:21.569 --> 00:17:24.210
If you are a sinner and you have received Jesus
347
00:17:24.390 --> 00:17:28.210
as your savior, you're God's people. And that is why
348
00:17:28.509 --> 00:17:33.109
this church exists, to represent God to the lost and
349
00:17:33.269 --> 00:17:36.150
found for one reason, transformation in Christ.
350
00:17:36.430 --> 00:17:39.579
And everybody may not have the right view of this,
351
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.200
but I want.
352
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:43.700
You to see something, that the found are God's people,
353
00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:49.240
but just as important are the lost who are God's passions.
354
00:17:51.130 --> 00:17:53.509
That's why the Bible says he would leave the ninety
355
00:17:53.630 --> 00:17:56.670
nine of the ones who are God's people who already
356
00:17:56.690 --> 00:17:57.940
been found to.
357
00:17:57.859 --> 00:17:59.539
Go after the one.
358
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.039
And I don't know who you are, but I feel
359
00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:05.180
like there's some ones watching right now that there's some
360
00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:07.579
people right now. You said I've done too much. My
361
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.019
track record is too long. My body count is up.
362
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.259
I can't do certain things because of what has happened
363
00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:17.480
to me. And God says, I will leave God's people
364
00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:22.410
to come after my passion. which is you.
365
00:18:23.410 --> 00:18:25.900
And all I'm saying to you is you can be
366
00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:28.759
a minister by the end of the day. Like if
367
00:18:28.779 --> 00:18:31.980
you receive Jesus today, oh, I feel the presence of
368
00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:35.079
God because somebody's wheels are turning right now. That maybe
369
00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:37.200
I don't have to live my life how I've been
370
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.670
living it. Maybe I can be a minister. And God says,
371
00:18:39.809 --> 00:18:42.630
that is what I want. You're my passion. So no
372
00:18:42.690 --> 00:18:46.289
matter if you're God's people or you're God's passion, you're
373
00:18:46.309 --> 00:18:48.910
a GP. It reminds me of an old Kirk Franklin song.
374
00:18:48.930 --> 00:18:49.910
Don't leave me hanging out here.
375
00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:54.180
GP, are you with me? Oh, yeah, we got the church.
376
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:58.789
We ain't going. GP, are you with me? oh we
377
00:18:58.829 --> 00:19:02.130
got the one more time said gp.
378
00:19:01.710 --> 00:19:05.029
Are you with me oh yeah we got the church
379
00:19:05.069 --> 00:19:08.079
we ain't going nowhere what i'm saying is god's passion
380
00:19:08.190 --> 00:19:10.539
and god's people are supposed to be found in god's
381
00:19:10.619 --> 00:19:16.740
church and today you can make sure that happens let's
382
00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:20.559
look at the second question what is his work Because
383
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:24.619
it said that the pastor's job is to equip ministers
384
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:27.859
to be able to find out if they're God's people
385
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.009
and to do his work.
386
00:19:29.349 --> 00:19:30.049
So what's his work?
387
00:19:30.109 --> 00:19:33.970
Matthew chapter 28, verse 18. This is Jesus talking to
388
00:19:34.009 --> 00:19:37.509
his disciples before he ascends to heaven. He says, Jesus
389
00:19:37.549 --> 00:19:41.490
came and told his disciples, I have been given all
390
00:19:41.549 --> 00:19:44.170
authority in heaven and on earth.
391
00:19:45.170 --> 00:19:48.710
So he's the man. He can say this. Therefore, the
392
00:19:48.829 --> 00:19:50.900
one instruction that I want to give to all my.
393
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:57.119
Ministers is to go and make disciples of all the nations,
394
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.109
baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son,
395
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.950
and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey
396
00:20:04.130 --> 00:20:05.849
all my commands that I have given you.
397
00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:09.750
And be sure of this one thing. I am with you.
398
00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:11.940
even to the end of the age.
399
00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:15.079
Do y'all know that when you're a minister of Jesus Christ,
400
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.880
it doesn't matter if it's SARS, if it's Ebola, if
401
00:20:19.009 --> 00:20:22.849
it's COVID-19, when you're a minister and you're going out
402
00:20:23.109 --> 00:20:25.950
and you're telling people about the good news of Jesus Christ,
403
00:20:26.269 --> 00:20:29.170
he says, I will be with you to the end
404
00:20:29.309 --> 00:20:31.549
of the age. Somebody needs to get excited about that
405
00:20:31.589 --> 00:20:33.769
right now because you've been walking in fear.
406
00:20:34.029 --> 00:20:36.130
And God says, why are you walking in fear? I'm
407
00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:36.630
with you.
408
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:40.259
The one thing about my daughter, Isabella, is we've been
409
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.720
going through this stage where she likes to sleep in
410
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:44.599
my bed and I need everybody to pray for me
411
00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:49.119
because it's, you know, it's hard. But what's ended up
412
00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:53.319
happening is I found out that sometimes she gets scared
413
00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:56.630
of the dark. And so she'll come into my room.
414
00:20:56.670 --> 00:20:58.609
And what I used to do is I used to
415
00:20:58.650 --> 00:21:00.670
turn all the lights on in the house all the
416
00:21:00.710 --> 00:21:03.410
way back to her room because that would allow her
417
00:21:03.450 --> 00:21:05.049
to be able to see where we were going.
418
00:21:06.049 --> 00:21:08.710
And then I said, no, no, no, no, no. She's
419
00:21:08.769 --> 00:21:10.230
got to know that she's okay.
420
00:21:10.990 --> 00:21:14.019
So the other night when we were going to the room,
421
00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:16.960
I kept all the lights off and she said, daddy,
422
00:21:17.019 --> 00:21:17.680
I can't see.
423
00:21:18.339 --> 00:21:20.119
I said, it doesn't matter that you can't see, I'm
424
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.500
with you.
425
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.740
And she said, daddy, I can't see. I said, but
426
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.720
you feel me right here with you, don't you?
427
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.619
And she said, yeah, I do. And so the next
428
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.589
night she went to say it again. I feel the
429
00:21:33.630 --> 00:21:36.730
spirit of God. He'd be talking through stuff. And she said, daddy,
430
00:21:37.509 --> 00:21:37.970
I feel you.
431
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.059
She was about to go back to her natural reaction
432
00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:43.509
is I can't see what's happening.
433
00:21:43.829 --> 00:21:45.910
I don't know what's up ahead. I don't know.
434
00:21:45.990 --> 00:21:48.509
It's dark in this season. But instead of saying I
435
00:21:48.549 --> 00:21:50.210
need to see it, she just said, I need to
436
00:21:50.289 --> 00:21:53.230
feel you. I just need to know you're around. I
437
00:21:53.430 --> 00:21:55.470
need to know that you're a close. And what God
438
00:21:55.529 --> 00:21:57.710
is saying is my work is that you would go
439
00:21:57.769 --> 00:21:59.730
out and make disciples. And the thing you need to
440
00:21:59.750 --> 00:22:02.119
know that no matter what season you're in, I am.
441
00:22:02.690 --> 00:22:05.650
am with you. Somebody say, God is with me. Come on,
442
00:22:05.670 --> 00:22:09.130
somebody needs to believe that in faith. God is with me.
443
00:22:09.730 --> 00:22:13.819
So what is his work? Spreading the good news.
444
00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:14.500
Of Jesus Christ.
445
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:20.420
So every minister, that's anybody who's accepted Jesus as their
446
00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:24.480
personal Lord and Savior, has a job to do, not
447
00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:27.180
the one that pays you on the first and the 15th.
448
00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:31.420
The one you were coded with with purpose before you
449
00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:34.420
were in your mother's womb. He said, when you took
450
00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:37.940
that vow to be covered by me, he said, you
451
00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:41.519
got a new responsibility as a minister of Jesus Christ.
452
00:22:41.789 --> 00:22:44.509
And that's to share the good news. He took into
453
00:22:44.609 --> 00:22:47.450
a fact that you're an introvert. He took into the
454
00:22:47.549 --> 00:22:50.630
fact that you don't like public speaking. He took into
455
00:22:50.670 --> 00:22:53.089
the fact that you break out in cold sweats when
456
00:22:53.109 --> 00:22:54.490
you have to do something you didn't.
457
00:22:54.349 --> 00:22:55.170
Know you have to do.
458
00:22:55.490 --> 00:22:57.849
And he said, and I still built you with the
459
00:22:57.930 --> 00:23:01.670
ability to share the good news that Jesus has come
460
00:23:01.970 --> 00:23:04.410
to seek and save those who are lost and hurting.
461
00:23:04.690 --> 00:23:08.450
And that is his work. So now it's our work.
462
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.420
Somebody just say again, I'm the minister here. I feel
463
00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.799
this thing. But you know what?
464
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:18.430
In this season right now, the whole nation, literally the
465
00:23:18.490 --> 00:23:22.730
whole world is focused on containing something. But God is
466
00:23:22.829 --> 00:23:26.839
focused on spreading something. He wants his news right now
467
00:23:26.890 --> 00:23:29.160
while everybody's in fear and wondering.
468
00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:31.160
He said this is the perfect time for the.
469
00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:34.670
Prince of Peace to invade situations. This is the perfect
470
00:23:34.710 --> 00:23:36.670
time where people don't know where money's coming from, that
471
00:23:36.710 --> 00:23:39.750
Jehovah Jireh, your boy, is wanting to show up on
472
00:23:39.809 --> 00:23:43.910
the scene. The one who goes before you, I want
473
00:23:43.930 --> 00:23:46.819
to be there. But how will they know unless somebody
474
00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:50.200
tells them? And so many times we're so selfish and
475
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:52.740
focused on what God is doing in our life.
476
00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:55.079
That we won't share the joy that we already have.
477
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.140
I do not know how people that are not walking
478
00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:02.589
with God are making it through this season. Do you
479
00:24:02.690 --> 00:24:07.150
know how much fear and anxiety is coming from CNN, MSNBC,
480
00:24:07.230 --> 00:24:11.559
Fox News, your local television station, your Instagram feed? But
481
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:16.029
as believers, we have our hope anchored in Jesus Christ.
482
00:24:17.089 --> 00:24:19.140
And the thing that you need to do is tell
483
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:23.319
somebody else. Now, I can't believe this, but y'all may
484
00:24:23.339 --> 00:24:25.700
be able to identify, especially some of the ladies. And yes,
485
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.220
I'm a man, but I do like shopping. OK, so
486
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:30.690
let me just put it out there. This jacket is bad.
487
00:24:30.930 --> 00:24:33.990
And I found it on my own as I was shopping.
488
00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:37.180
The one thing I want you to know is that
489
00:24:37.299 --> 00:24:39.880
anything about a real shopper, not a stingy shopper, because
490
00:24:39.900 --> 00:24:42.539
some of y'all are stingy shoppers and you you you find.
491
00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:44.680
A sale, but you won't tell nobody about it because
492
00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:45.880
you want to be the only one to wear. It
493
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.140
don't even look that good on you anyway. No, I'm
494
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:49.519
just playing. I'm just playing. You look beautiful.
495
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.359
What I'm saying to you is that when somebody is
496
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.480
a real shopper and you love to see people get deals,
497
00:24:56.549 --> 00:25:00.230
when you find something, the first thing you do is
498
00:25:00.309 --> 00:25:04.299
tell other people. When you really find the 50% off,
499
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:07.990
the 70% off, the 80% off, you'll be taking pictures
500
00:25:08.069 --> 00:25:10.769
for other people like this ain't my size, but this
501
00:25:10.829 --> 00:25:11.710
look cute on you.
502
00:25:12.049 --> 00:25:14.269
And you'll be able to send it to somebody else.
503
00:25:14.609 --> 00:25:17.990
What I'm saying is if sale shopping is good news,
504
00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:25.319
why isn't the fact that God's redeemed humanity much better news?
505
00:25:26.029 --> 00:25:28.009
That you don't have to be in the place that
506
00:25:28.029 --> 00:25:30.920
you're in and stay there and live there We have
507
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:35.039
good news and it's our job as ministers to share
508
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:39.019
that good news But you cannot spread what you haven't
509
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:43.950
caught And you cannot give what you don't got And
510
00:25:44.009 --> 00:25:48.970
you cannot omit what you don't own And that's why
511
00:25:49.029 --> 00:25:52.230
i'm preaching this series Because too many people think that
512
00:25:52.490 --> 00:25:55.609
I'm the minister. The person on the platform is the minister.
513
00:25:55.849 --> 00:25:58.849
And you haven't owned that you're a minister at that job,
514
00:25:59.170 --> 00:26:03.750
with your kids, on that soccer field, on that basketball court.
515
00:26:04.069 --> 00:26:06.029
You are the minister.
516
00:26:06.289 --> 00:26:09.390
And God is trying to equip you to not have
517
00:26:09.450 --> 00:26:12.329
to be confined to a building. He's giving you a
518
00:26:12.430 --> 00:26:18.599
free pass to use your authority wherever you are. And
519
00:26:18.650 --> 00:26:21.849
until you get this, We don't get to be the
520
00:26:22.009 --> 00:26:26.369
full expression of the body of Christ. So the last thing,
521
00:26:26.549 --> 00:26:29.490
question we got to answer is, how do you build
522
00:26:29.529 --> 00:26:32.230
the church? And I want to camp out here for
523
00:26:32.269 --> 00:26:34.549
just the next 10 minutes so that you can understand
524
00:26:35.230 --> 00:26:37.920
that I think there's a fundamental problem of how people.
525
00:26:37.690 --> 00:26:38.599
Have viewed the church.
526
00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:45.119
See, people think that the church, this building is the
527
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.339
thing that God cares about. But write this point down.
528
00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:54.390
The church is not an organization. The church is an organism.
529
00:26:54.950 --> 00:27:02.250
The church is you. And until you get this in
530
00:27:02.410 --> 00:27:03.950
Ephesians chapter four, and he.
531
00:27:03.910 --> 00:27:07.000
Said the pastor's job, the prophet's job, the bishop job.
532
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.579
Is to equip the ministers, his people to build the church.
533
00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:15.940
It wasn't talking about building buildings. It was talking about
534
00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:23.059
building people. So that's why it doesn't matter if.
535
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:27.119
This building God gave us never opens back up. The
536
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:31.640
church is still expanding. When you look at Acts 2 42,
537
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:34.680
it said they were meeting home from home, sharing meals,
538
00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:38.180
sharing everything they had, and their numbers were growing daily
539
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:40.200
because they weren't building brick and mortar.
540
00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:43.700
They were building minds, bodies, and souls.
541
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.730
And what I'm asking you is if If you stop
542
00:27:48.789 --> 00:27:53.269
focusing on the organization for a second, because honestly, the
543
00:27:53.349 --> 00:27:55.650
organization has been a lot of our excuses. Well, that
544
00:27:55.690 --> 00:27:59.220
church hurt me. Well, I ain't never doing no because
545
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.839
they just want my money. And we've blamed organizations. And
546
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.859
if we can be honest, it was one or two
547
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:08.009
organisms who really messed over you.
548
00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:11.539
It was some people who hadn't given God full control.
549
00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:14.119
And on behalf of those people who were pastors and
550
00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:16.710
leaders and people in your life who you thought was
551
00:28:16.730 --> 00:28:18.750
the church. And that's why you haven't come back to
552
00:28:18.789 --> 00:28:21.089
church because you saw somebody do it wrong and they
553
00:28:21.150 --> 00:28:22.630
fell short of the glory of God.
554
00:28:22.670 --> 00:28:23.710
I want to apologize.
555
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:27.180
Because I know that has hurt you because the only
556
00:28:27.220 --> 00:28:30.579
thing that can hurt another organism is an organism. And
557
00:28:30.619 --> 00:28:32.859
we've blamed it on the church. But now we can't
558
00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:35.200
blame it on an organization. That was a person. Would
559
00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:37.880
you please not hold all of us responsible or even
560
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:42.190
hold God responsible for what somebody did? And would you
561
00:28:42.250 --> 00:28:45.069
allow forgiveness to flow through your heart? I feel this
562
00:28:45.309 --> 00:28:47.980
thing deep down in my spirit right now. There's somebody
563
00:28:48.019 --> 00:28:51.480
right now who's getting healed because you're realizing the church
564
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.039
wasn't this big organization who forgot about you or isolated
565
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.539
you or downcast you when you had a baby out
566
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.890
of wedlock or when you had the abortion. That wasn't
567
00:29:00.930 --> 00:29:02.609
the church. That was a person or a couple of
568
00:29:02.650 --> 00:29:04.710
people or a group of people. I'm asking you, let
569
00:29:04.730 --> 00:29:07.930
them go because that poison is killing you right now.
570
00:29:08.789 --> 00:29:10.430
and what God wants to do is he wants to
571
00:29:10.509 --> 00:29:12.829
heal you and look at the greatest thing he wants
572
00:29:12.950 --> 00:29:15.490
to make you a minister so you can go back
573
00:29:15.529 --> 00:29:17.609
to the very people who feel like how you felt
574
00:29:17.910 --> 00:29:20.599
and you know that deep despair and that isolation and
575
00:29:20.710 --> 00:29:23.339
go back and share the good news that God took
576
00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:26.460
away grief and he took away shame on the cross
577
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.859
and that you can walk free and be his minister
578
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.559
somebody needs to thank God.
579
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:34.160
With me I feel healing flowing in this room right
580
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:39.109
now so how do we build the church How do
581
00:29:39.130 --> 00:29:39.869
we build people?
582
00:29:40.430 --> 00:29:42.230
I want to show you a story where Jesus does
583
00:29:42.269 --> 00:29:45.299
this with one of his stifles. Matthew chapter 16, verse 13.
584
00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:48.920
It says, when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea
585
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.279
and Philippi, I feel this thing. He asked his disciples saying, hey,
586
00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:54.339
I got a question for everybody. Y'all come around here.
587
00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:57.859
Who do men say that I am? What are the
588
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.569
people saying in the streets? I think some people are
589
00:30:02.609 --> 00:30:06.509
saying that you're John the Baptist. And then another one says,
590
00:30:07.069 --> 00:30:09.329
you know what, Jesus? Some people are saying you're Elijah.
591
00:30:09.349 --> 00:30:12.559
I don't know why everybody's so ghetto right now. And
592
00:30:12.630 --> 00:30:16.039
others are being like, no, sir. Everybody's saying you're Jeremiah.
593
00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:19.880
You're the prophet. And then Jesus switches it up on everybody.
594
00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:22.700
And I think this is the question that COVID-19 is
595
00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:25.809
making everybody have to answer right now. And then Jesus said,
596
00:30:25.849 --> 00:30:29.200
but who do you say I am? Yeah, I know
597
00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:30.960
what the government is saying and they're saying we can
598
00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:33.400
be in this. You've heard everywhere from 18 months to
599
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:35.569
three months to two weeks and all this stuff.
600
00:30:35.849 --> 00:30:36.230
Yeah.
601
00:30:36.250 --> 00:30:38.450
And I know what you say that they can do
602
00:30:38.509 --> 00:30:40.289
for you and what a vaccine could do for you
603
00:30:40.329 --> 00:30:42.430
and what these people could do for you and help
604
00:30:42.490 --> 00:30:43.430
and aid and all this stuff.
605
00:30:43.710 --> 00:30:45.190
But who do you say I am right now in
606
00:30:45.210 --> 00:30:47.150
the midst of this? What are you saying?
607
00:30:48.250 --> 00:30:50.069
Because it really doesn't matter what everybody else is saying.
608
00:30:50.089 --> 00:30:52.579
It matters what you believe and what you're standing on
609
00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:55.839
right now. And he asked him, who do you say
610
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.299
that I am?
611
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:56.599
And look.
612
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:00.420
At one disciple who could have been quiet and shrunk
613
00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:02.920
back in the background like many believers do when they're
614
00:31:02.940 --> 00:31:06.359
in a group or an organization, but he stepped forth
615
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.440
as an organism.
616
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.099
Look what he said.
617
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:13.789
Simon Peter, he answered and said, you're the Christ, son
618
00:31:13.849 --> 00:31:17.950
of the living God. And it hit me right here
619
00:31:18.450 --> 00:31:21.930
because if you are going to be the minister, you.
620
00:31:21.769 --> 00:31:24.170
Have to be, write this down, be open.
621
00:31:25.569 --> 00:31:27.710
See, there's many people in this room that are not
622
00:31:27.930 --> 00:31:30.069
open to God making you a minister.
623
00:31:30.829 --> 00:31:33.690
Like in the crowd, you would rather stay back.
624
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.579
But for him to answer as an organization, not an organization,
625
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.720
but as an organism, he had to step forward and
626
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.210
be open to give an answer. And it hit me
627
00:31:45.250 --> 00:31:46.809
right now that some of you are so set in
628
00:31:46.849 --> 00:31:49.130
your careers. Some of you are so set in your
629
00:31:49.190 --> 00:31:51.809
plans that God is asking you, I want to make
630
00:31:51.869 --> 00:31:54.910
you a minister to go into places that people have
631
00:31:54.950 --> 00:31:57.319
not even been able to go in and represent me
632
00:31:57.420 --> 00:31:58.920
right or represent me right.
633
00:31:59.259 --> 00:32:00.900
And he said, but are you even open to it?
634
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.940
Are you open to going into crafts and arts and
635
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:09.650
be my minister there? Are you open to going into
636
00:32:09.690 --> 00:32:13.960
the music industry and being my minister there? Are you
637
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.579
open to going into the judicial system and be my
638
00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:20.900
minister there? I feel this thing because somebody's faith is right.
639
00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:26.210
Are you even open to stepping from amongst the crowd
640
00:32:26.569 --> 00:32:29.970
or the people who are in the organization of Christians
641
00:32:30.069 --> 00:32:33.650
and believers? And would you step forward and be open
642
00:32:34.029 --> 00:32:35.500
to me doing something through you?
643
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.240
And Simon was open. Somebody say, I'm open. No, say
644
00:32:40.259 --> 00:32:41.180
it again. I'm open.
645
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.049
Because if you are going to be a minister, you
646
00:32:44.089 --> 00:32:48.390
have to be open. And this response throws Jesus off.
647
00:32:49.069 --> 00:32:52.170
Look what it says. It says, Simon Peter answered, said,
648
00:32:52.190 --> 00:32:54.390
you are the Christ, the son of the living God.
649
00:32:54.430 --> 00:32:57.180
Verse 17. Jesus answered, said, you say what?
650
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:05.220
Hold on. Blessed are you, boy. You blessed. Simon Barjona,
651
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:06.390
look at the name he called him.
652
00:33:07.650 --> 00:33:12.049
For flesh and blood or your experience or you just
653
00:33:12.130 --> 00:33:15.890
being here right now hasn't revealed this to you. But
654
00:33:16.029 --> 00:33:19.720
it was my father who is in heaven who divinely
655
00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:24.490
inspired you because you were open. What I'm trying to
656
00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:28.789
tell you is all throughout history, God is just looking
657
00:33:29.089 --> 00:33:30.690
not for people who are perfect.
658
00:33:30.869 --> 00:33:32.799
He's looking for people who are open.
659
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:38.819
He's not looking for people of extraordinary ability.
660
00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:42.240
He's looking for people of availability. It goes back to
661
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:43.519
Moses when Moses had a.
662
00:33:45.579 --> 00:33:49.140
Speaking problem. And he said, I can't talk for you.
663
00:33:49.180 --> 00:33:51.599
And God said, if you open your mouth. If you're
664
00:33:51.700 --> 00:33:55.759
open to me using you, I'll feel your mouth and you'll.
665
00:33:55.539 --> 00:33:58.220
Be my minister at the highest level of government.
666
00:33:58.569 --> 00:34:01.670
And this is why if you're open and you step
667
00:34:01.930 --> 00:34:04.130
from around the organization and.
668
00:34:04.089 --> 00:34:05.609
You say, God, you can use me.
669
00:34:05.829 --> 00:34:08.559
If you can use anything, Lord, you can use me.
670
00:34:08.940 --> 00:34:13.000
Then God will start revealing stuff to you that your
671
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:14.460
education couldn't teach you.
672
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:17.340
That's your pedigree couldn't teach you.
673
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:21.530
Do you know I'm a pastor with six months of
674
00:34:21.670 --> 00:34:27.389
high quality Tulsa Community College education. The revelation that I
675
00:34:27.449 --> 00:34:31.909
get is not because of something that man gave me.
676
00:34:32.670 --> 00:34:35.469
It was because I was open when God visited me
677
00:34:35.789 --> 00:34:40.309
in a Hampton Inn in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at 4 a.m.
678
00:34:40.570 --> 00:34:45.010
And God called me into ministry and I was open
679
00:34:45.070 --> 00:34:47.329
to it. And he said, as long as you're open,
680
00:34:47.769 --> 00:34:50.349
I will reveal what I need you to do when
681
00:34:50.389 --> 00:34:54.090
you get there. I need somebody to be excited because
682
00:34:54.150 --> 00:34:58.889
God's saying, if you'll be open to be my minister,
683
00:34:59.170 --> 00:35:01.320
he said, then I'm going to do something for you.
684
00:35:01.429 --> 00:35:03.699
So write this down. If you are going to be
685
00:35:03.739 --> 00:35:08.280
the minister, you have to hear from the originator. And
686
00:35:08.340 --> 00:35:12.300
too many people are not doing what this disciple did.
687
00:35:12.579 --> 00:35:16.570
He was open, but then he only said what God
688
00:35:16.650 --> 00:35:17.389
told him to say.
689
00:35:17.650 --> 00:35:20.710
Jesus says it. My father in heaven revealed this to you.
690
00:35:21.349 --> 00:35:24.949
And too many people are self-proclaimed ministers not hearing from God.
691
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.800
Just because you got a Facebook camera don't mean that.
692
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:29.840
Let me stop.
693
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.960
The truth is that I would be not being effective
694
00:35:38.059 --> 00:35:41.610
if I walked up here and said my opinion. The
695
00:35:41.710 --> 00:35:44.550
reason that I'm effective is because I spend time with
696
00:35:44.630 --> 00:35:48.690
God and I hear from the originator and I hear
697
00:35:48.809 --> 00:35:51.260
from God. That's why in this time where many of
698
00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:53.199
you have more time than you've ever had, it's so
699
00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:55.780
important that you start your day in the word of
700
00:35:55.860 --> 00:35:58.420
God so you can increase your faith. Faith comes by
701
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:02.440
hearing and hearing the word of God. But faith increases
702
00:36:02.739 --> 00:36:03.639
by whatever.
703
00:36:03.340 --> 00:36:04.099
You focus on.
704
00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:06.260
So if you focus on the fear, it's only going
705
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:08.650
to enhance your faith in fear. But if you focus
706
00:36:08.690 --> 00:36:10.570
on the promises of God, it's going.
707
00:36:10.449 --> 00:36:11.769
To enhance your faith.
708
00:36:11.989 --> 00:36:14.730
And that's why I'm asking everybody, even in this time
709
00:36:14.929 --> 00:36:18.929
of Corona, we are praying every single day at noon.
710
00:36:19.110 --> 00:36:20.989
And I want to thank you because tens of thousands
711
00:36:21.030 --> 00:36:23.849
of you have been joining us all every day that
712
00:36:23.889 --> 00:36:25.809
we've done it. But we're going to keep going until
713
00:36:25.849 --> 00:36:29.010
we see a miracle. Because we need to hear from God.
714
00:36:29.789 --> 00:36:32.090
And if you're going to be his minister, you got
715
00:36:32.110 --> 00:36:34.989
to hear from the originator. Look what it says in
716
00:36:35.010 --> 00:36:38.030
verse 18. And he says, and also I say to you,
717
00:36:39.329 --> 00:36:41.519
watch this. He switches up his name.
718
00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:45.380
You're Peter. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. That's who
719
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:47.860
you are. No, Peter. No, I know they've been calling
720
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:49.260
you Simon Bar-Jonah.
721
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:55.949
But I'm switching your name or I'm calling you something different.
722
00:36:56.449 --> 00:36:58.710
And Peter means Petra or the rock.
723
00:36:59.389 --> 00:37:01.670
And on you, I'm going to build my church.
724
00:37:02.869 --> 00:37:08.909
This hit me because up until this point, he had
725
00:37:08.949 --> 00:37:09.989
been called one thing.
726
00:37:10.989 --> 00:37:12.329
But when he got open.
727
00:37:13.409 --> 00:37:19.849
Heard from the originator, his name changed. And what God
728
00:37:19.949 --> 00:37:22.969
says is, can I call you something different?
729
00:37:23.809 --> 00:37:25.090
And you own your calling.
730
00:37:26.630 --> 00:37:29.050
See, right now you've been successful in business, but what
731
00:37:29.110 --> 00:37:31.110
if God wants to change your name right now?
732
00:37:32.269 --> 00:37:33.199
Would you own it?
733
00:37:33.269 --> 00:37:35.269
And that's what I want to give you as the
734
00:37:35.309 --> 00:37:38.369
third point right here. If you're going to be the minister,
735
00:37:38.449 --> 00:37:42.449
you have to own your calling. So many of you
736
00:37:42.510 --> 00:37:44.710
are going back and forth and vacillating. But what will
737
00:37:44.730 --> 00:37:47.090
my family think if I really start doing this? And
738
00:37:47.110 --> 00:37:48.210
what will my friends say?
739
00:37:48.389 --> 00:37:49.349
You might lose them.
740
00:37:50.730 --> 00:37:55.599
You might actually have to leave people to become something
741
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.630
and then come back and get them. Some of y'all
742
00:37:58.670 --> 00:38:01.409
are so worried about going to where God has called
743
00:38:01.449 --> 00:38:03.519
you to be with all of the homies that been
744
00:38:03.539 --> 00:38:03.940
with you.
745
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:05.800
There is some time where you're going to.
746
00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:09.280
Have to step out and be open to what God
747
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:12.039
wants to do and him changing your name and you
748
00:38:12.059 --> 00:38:14.820
get a word from him and you walk and you
749
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:18.260
own it. I think about it in my own life, man.
750
00:38:18.789 --> 00:38:20.849
When God called me and I had been in the
751
00:38:20.909 --> 00:38:23.550
music industry and I was doing stuff there, that's what
752
00:38:23.570 --> 00:38:26.769
I thought my identity was in. And when I started walking,
753
00:38:27.579 --> 00:38:30.639
Working in ministry. I didn't want all the religious stigma.
754
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:32.460
And I started doing youth ministry. And they was like,
755
00:38:32.699 --> 00:38:33.929
are you our youth pastor?
756
00:38:34.150 --> 00:38:35.190
Are you Pastor Mike?
757
00:38:35.429 --> 00:38:37.789
And I felt a little tinge of like sarcasm they
758
00:38:37.829 --> 00:38:39.949
were saying with it. And so out of my need
759
00:38:40.010 --> 00:38:43.110
to really want to be, you know what I'm saying, relatable,
760
00:38:43.130 --> 00:38:44.690
I was like, no, no, no, don't call me Pastor Mike.
761
00:38:44.730 --> 00:38:45.840
Call me Big Brother Mike.
762
00:38:46.579 --> 00:38:49.099
So the whole time I was a youth pastor, everybody
763
00:38:49.139 --> 00:38:51.239
called me Big Brother Mike. Well, many of you know
764
00:38:51.260 --> 00:38:54.139
my story that eventually I became the executive pastor of
765
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:54.579
our church.
766
00:38:54.820 --> 00:38:56.139
And then I became the lead pastor.
767
00:38:56.650 --> 00:38:58.989
And when I became the lead pastor and God called
768
00:38:59.070 --> 00:39:02.789
me to lead the church, not that I wanted to
769
00:39:02.829 --> 00:39:06.480
just do something. He called me to do it. I
770
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:09.880
didn't accept or own the calling. And so there would
771
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.800
be people that would be coming around and be like,
772
00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:14.090
Big Brother Mike, Big Brother Mike, Big Brother Mike. And
773
00:39:14.130 --> 00:39:16.989
God said, you better stop answering to that because that's
774
00:39:17.030 --> 00:39:19.909
not what I called you. I called you Pastor Mike.
775
00:39:20.090 --> 00:39:22.949
And not that I needed somebody to validate and call
776
00:39:22.989 --> 00:39:23.789
me Pastor Mike.
777
00:39:24.010 --> 00:39:25.920
That wasn't the thing. I hadn't owned it.
778
00:39:26.090 --> 00:39:29.090
You can call me Michael, but I still would own
779
00:39:29.409 --> 00:39:32.820
my calling. And I was allowing the title to keep
780
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.880
me away from owning my calling. And God says, if
781
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.000
you don't own it, I'm going to find somebody else.
782
00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:41.360
And I don't know who I'm talking to right now,
783
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:43.380
but there are things that God has been trying to
784
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:45.719
give you. And there's spaces that he's trying to call
785
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:48.019
you to minister in. But you say, I don't really
786
00:39:48.059 --> 00:39:49.679
do that. And I don't want to be known for that.
787
00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:51.409
And I don't want to do that. And God said,
788
00:39:51.570 --> 00:39:54.590
I factored in all of your flaws, all of your quirks,
789
00:39:54.989 --> 00:39:56.190
all of your nuances.
790
00:39:56.429 --> 00:39:59.409
And I still called you my minister. You better own
791
00:39:59.429 --> 00:39:59.989
the calling.
792
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:04.050
And I'm just making a decision right now. And I
793
00:40:04.070 --> 00:40:06.889
believe that I'm speaking faith into somebody who God's already
794
00:40:06.949 --> 00:40:09.070
given a vision, that he's already given you a dream.
795
00:40:09.230 --> 00:40:10.710
He's already told you to write it down.
796
00:40:10.889 --> 00:40:11.429
And you've been.
797
00:40:11.409 --> 00:40:14.210
Shying back because of what others thought. And God has
798
00:40:14.309 --> 00:40:18.619
changed your name. He called Simon something different.
799
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:22.480
He said, Peter. And he had to answer to the call.
800
00:40:23.579 --> 00:40:26.300
I think about it like this, that when I was young,
801
00:40:26.940 --> 00:40:29.480
my mom's in the room right now, praying me through
802
00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:29.840
right now.
803
00:40:29.860 --> 00:40:30.679
I love you, baby girl.
804
00:40:31.420 --> 00:40:35.090
And what's happening right now is that God, I feel
805
00:40:35.130 --> 00:40:37.449
his spirit translating through this screen right now.
806
00:40:37.530 --> 00:40:38.869
I feel this thing so strong.
807
00:40:39.449 --> 00:40:42.150
When I was young, my mom made a nickname up
808
00:40:42.190 --> 00:40:43.710
for me and she called me Mookie.
809
00:40:44.630 --> 00:40:47.110
Ha ha ha ha ha. Okay.
810
00:40:48.190 --> 00:40:50.250
But the crazy thing about it is all of my life,
811
00:40:50.690 --> 00:40:52.639
because she was the one who gave me the name,
812
00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:56.619
because she called it to me first, when she called
813
00:40:56.659 --> 00:40:59.590
me that name, I would answer. But if anybody else
814
00:40:59.670 --> 00:41:01.469
called me that name, like my brothers would always try
815
00:41:01.489 --> 00:41:03.309
to make fun of me, like Mookie, Mookie, all that
816
00:41:03.349 --> 00:41:03.630
other stuff.
817
00:41:03.889 --> 00:41:05.590
When they called me, I didn't respond.
818
00:41:07.170 --> 00:41:09.489
And one of the things that God was telling me,
819
00:41:09.590 --> 00:41:12.469
even in this, he said, I'm calling you something different.
820
00:41:13.150 --> 00:41:16.699
But it doesn't matter about what I call you as
821
00:41:16.860 --> 00:41:21.480
much as it matters what you respond to. So some
822
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:24.519
of you have been responding. Even if they're calling you
823
00:41:24.619 --> 00:41:26.760
out of your name, calling you not what God called you,
824
00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:29.500
you're still responding to it so they can keep calling
825
00:41:29.539 --> 00:41:32.340
you that and you keep walking in that thing until
826
00:41:32.389 --> 00:41:35.070
you stop responding to it. Some of you have been
827
00:41:35.110 --> 00:41:38.150
responding and anger calls out to you and you answer.
828
00:41:38.369 --> 00:41:40.610
And God says you need to stop answering to anger
829
00:41:40.849 --> 00:41:43.349
and you need to start answering to anointed. When you
830
00:41:43.389 --> 00:41:45.849
hear that name, that's what you need to respond to.
831
00:41:46.110 --> 00:41:48.409
Some of you right now have been answering to mad,
832
00:41:48.650 --> 00:41:51.309
but you need to answer to masterpiece. Some of you
833
00:41:51.349 --> 00:41:54.050
have been answering to ho, but God wants you to
834
00:41:54.110 --> 00:41:55.230
know that you're holy.
835
00:41:55.489 --> 00:41:58.269
You need to answer to the right thing.
836
00:41:59.949 --> 00:42:02.880
And some of you have been settling for below what
837
00:42:02.929 --> 00:42:05.429
God has been calling you. You've been answering to average
838
00:42:06.139 --> 00:42:09.880
and God wants you to know you're accepted. That's why
839
00:42:10.539 --> 00:42:13.519
my favorite part of this scripture tells us how we're
840
00:42:13.539 --> 00:42:16.960
supposed to live. Once we own it, once we're open,
841
00:42:19.099 --> 00:42:20.659
And if we're going to be his minister that we
842
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.449
hear from the originator, and because we're going to be
843
00:42:23.510 --> 00:42:25.650
the minister, somebody say, I'm the minister here.
844
00:42:25.929 --> 00:42:27.969
Come on, just say it. I'm the minister here.
845
00:42:30.329 --> 00:42:33.300
When you get open, when you hear from the originator,
846
00:42:34.179 --> 00:42:36.659
when you're one of those who says, I'm going to
847
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:42.920
own my calling, then you start living offensive.
848
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:44.760
Go with me.
849
00:42:45.460 --> 00:42:47.929
If you are going to be the minister, you have
850
00:42:47.969 --> 00:42:51.250
to live offensive. Look at the next part of the verse.
851
00:42:51.730 --> 00:42:53.869
It says, and also I say to you that you
852
00:42:53.949 --> 00:42:56.670
are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.
853
00:42:56.730 --> 00:43:00.750
Then he makes this bold statement, and the gates of
854
00:43:00.769 --> 00:43:07.039
Hades or the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
855
00:43:07.309 --> 00:43:10.969
I've always had this scripture messed up because what has happened,
856
00:43:11.329 --> 00:43:15.780
I got a gate here that represents a gate of hell.
857
00:43:16.989 --> 00:43:17.500
And what I.
858
00:43:17.469 --> 00:43:23.590
Thought is that the church was inside of a gate
859
00:43:23.809 --> 00:43:26.489
being protected and that.
860
00:43:26.809 --> 00:43:29.030
All the forces of the enemy is coming at.
861
00:43:28.969 --> 00:43:32.550
You, but nothing can touch you because you're protected in
862
00:43:32.590 --> 00:43:35.329
the gate. So the gates of hell won't prevail. But
863
00:43:35.369 --> 00:43:38.050
I figured that I just couldn't read and I didn't
864
00:43:38.070 --> 00:43:42.670
understand it because it says the gates of hell. That
865
00:43:42.750 --> 00:43:46.869
means hell is the thing that has set up protection
866
00:43:47.449 --> 00:43:52.639
around certain things hell has set up gates around the
867
00:43:52.739 --> 00:43:57.269
entertainment industry hell has tried to set up gates around
868
00:43:57.309 --> 00:44:01.250
the education system Hell has tried to set up gates
869
00:44:01.389 --> 00:44:03.250
around your family and keep.
870
00:44:03.050 --> 00:44:04.630
Y'all in generational cycles.
871
00:44:05.110 --> 00:44:08.449
Hell has tried to set up gates in music and
872
00:44:08.530 --> 00:44:11.750
keep people in cycle. And it said the reason that
873
00:44:12.250 --> 00:44:15.849
the hell has gates is because it doesn't want God's
874
00:44:15.989 --> 00:44:17.389
ministers to get in.
875
00:44:19.460 --> 00:44:22.679
Because if God's ministers would ever penetrate.
876
00:44:23.730 --> 00:44:27.650
The gates of hell, we could go in and have
877
00:44:27.730 --> 00:44:31.260
authority to make a difference. And what has happened is
878
00:44:31.300 --> 00:44:34.539
because you haven't owned that you're the actual minister, you
879
00:44:34.579 --> 00:44:35.960
haven't lived offensive.
880
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:37.460
You've lived defense.
881
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:39.539
So you're just trying to make sure the enemy doesn't
882
00:44:39.579 --> 00:44:41.880
play me and make sure my kids are okay. And
883
00:44:41.960 --> 00:44:45.559
God says, I invented you to score. I invented you
884
00:44:45.820 --> 00:44:49.679
to go into hell and be able to get All
885
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.239
of the things that have been locked up, movies and
886
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.150
entertainment and government, the enemy thought he.
887
00:44:55.130 --> 00:44:57.230
Had a gate set around it. But I'm about to.
888
00:44:57.170 --> 00:45:01.530
Release ministers in the midst of everything that hell has
889
00:45:01.570 --> 00:45:04.349
set up a gate around. And it says, and the
890
00:45:04.449 --> 00:45:08.300
gates of hell will not be able to prevail.
891
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.920
The only reason it's working is because we haven't gone
892
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:18.119
up and tried to go in. Who's the minister here? You. You.
893
00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:22.599
And you're already in place, but you're not living offensive enough.
894
00:45:24.070 --> 00:45:26.989
And so when somebody wants to tell you you can't
895
00:45:27.070 --> 00:45:31.329
pray here, you back up off of it. When they
896
00:45:31.389 --> 00:45:34.210
tell you you can't have a Bible study here, you
897
00:45:34.269 --> 00:45:34.690
back up.
898
00:45:34.730 --> 00:45:35.039
Off of it.
899
00:45:35.050 --> 00:45:37.909
And God says, I am waiting for somebody to get
900
00:45:37.989 --> 00:45:43.039
the keys that are already stole from the enemy. Do
901
00:45:43.099 --> 00:45:47.070
you remember that the three days when he was crucified?
902
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:48.550
I feel that I'm about to preach. I need an
903
00:45:48.630 --> 00:45:49.389
organ right now.
904
00:45:49.730 --> 00:45:52.969
The three days when he was up there, it says
905
00:45:53.090 --> 00:45:55.639
that he wasn't just sitting there. It said that he
906
00:45:55.739 --> 00:46:00.980
went down to the place of Hades and he stole
907
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:01.699
the keys.
908
00:46:03.699 --> 00:46:06.840
Death hell in the grave and he gave all of
909
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:07.800
us watch this.
910
00:46:07.900 --> 00:46:10.019
I just need you to see it Matthew chapter 11
911
00:46:10.019 --> 00:46:13.099
verse 12 It's telling us that we got to live
912
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:17.139
offensively It says and since John the Baptist begin preaching
913
00:46:17.300 --> 00:46:21.610
until now everybody say until now Right now this day
914
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:24.869
that you're watching this until now the kingdom of heaven
915
00:46:25.190 --> 00:46:29.789
has been forcefully advanced and violent people are attacking Hell's
916
00:46:29.829 --> 00:46:35.750
gates and I'm tired of punk Christians who are not
917
00:46:36.010 --> 00:46:39.789
answering the call of being a minister where you are
918
00:46:39.989 --> 00:46:42.989
right now. God says, I don't have to move no
919
00:46:43.070 --> 00:46:48.840
pastor into entertainment because you're there. I don't have to
920
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:53.599
get somebody in the financial institution because a minister's already there.
921
00:46:54.179 --> 00:46:59.500
But you got to own it and live offensively. So
922
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:01.079
what are you talking about? Well, then how do I
923
00:47:01.139 --> 00:47:04.559
have the keys? Matthew chapter 16, verse 19.
924
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:05.090
I love it.
925
00:47:06.820 --> 00:47:12.980
He says, and I will give you the keys to
926
00:47:13.019 --> 00:47:13.639
the kingdom.
927
00:47:14.619 --> 00:47:20.170
And whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.
928
00:47:20.769 --> 00:47:26.010
And whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
929
00:47:26.130 --> 00:47:30.340
I'm ready for For an army of ministers after this
930
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:34.380
message to take the authority and the keys he already
931
00:47:34.460 --> 00:47:39.219
snatched from every demon and devil and he gives them
932
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:39.739
to us.
933
00:47:40.179 --> 00:47:43.409
So from now on, in the name of Jesus, when.
934
00:47:43.309 --> 00:47:47.269
We go into our jobs, when we go into social media,
935
00:47:47.510 --> 00:47:50.710
when we go into education, it tells us that the
936
00:47:50.789 --> 00:47:53.570
gates that are set up around it, that we have
937
00:47:53.610 --> 00:47:55.559
the key. We don't even got to fight for it.
938
00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:59.099
All we got to decide to do is take our
939
00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:02.940
authority and take it off. And everything that the enemy
940
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:06.400
thought he could use is no longer a place. And
941
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.420
we can go in to every area in the entertainment.
942
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:15.019
We can go in and we can move it. Oh,
943
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:18.340
we can take it by force. We can invite other
944
00:48:18.389 --> 00:48:19.429
believers into it.
945
00:48:19.849 --> 00:48:22.530
I can say, listen, government is open.
946
00:48:22.889 --> 00:48:26.389
Is there any ministers who want to come and be
947
00:48:26.449 --> 00:48:28.570
a part.
948
00:48:27.929 --> 00:48:28.429
Of what God?
949
00:48:28.570 --> 00:48:32.170
Hey, hey, every soccer mom, you can start that ministry
950
00:48:32.230 --> 00:48:37.090
right here. Get other believers in entertainment, in government, in
951
00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:37.880
our homes.
952
00:48:38.780 --> 00:48:46.469
I know that there are ministers. But until we live offensive...
953
00:48:46.010 --> 00:48:46.369
Come on, I.
954
00:48:46.329 --> 00:48:49.630
Need some more believers up here. Because this is what's
955
00:48:49.670 --> 00:48:53.320
supposed to be the body.
956
00:48:53.059 --> 00:48:54.139
Of Christ, the picture.
957
00:48:56.119 --> 00:48:57.780
Is that when we walk in, this ain't the church
958
00:48:57.860 --> 00:49:01.840
no more. This ain't the church no more. Y'all stand
959
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:05.460
right there. Now I want you, in the midst of education,
960
00:49:05.860 --> 00:49:08.750
in the midst of the entertainment and arts industry, in
961
00:49:08.769 --> 00:49:10.349
the midst of... I want y'all to start praying right now.
962
00:49:10.409 --> 00:49:13.409
Get in a circle and start praying right now. That's
963
00:49:13.449 --> 00:49:18.090
what happens. When ministers take their place. That then they're open.
964
00:49:18.449 --> 00:49:21.079
I feel the presence of God. And when they're open,
965
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:23.460
if they get in a place together, the Bible says
966
00:49:23.500 --> 00:49:25.980
where there are two or three ministers gathered in my name,
967
00:49:26.300 --> 00:49:28.659
he said, I'm in the midst. And they get into
968
00:49:29.030 --> 00:49:32.889
education and they get in to the entertainment system. It
969
00:49:32.949 --> 00:49:36.889
says the gates of hell can't keep us out. If
970
00:49:36.949 --> 00:49:41.750
we would own being the minister's, And today, if you
971
00:49:41.789 --> 00:49:44.900
would take the keys that God has given you and
972
00:49:44.940 --> 00:49:49.719
walk in that authority, whatever you bind, whatever you lose.
973
00:49:50.219 --> 00:49:53.280
Has to happen. My last point. Thank you, guys.
974
00:49:54.380 --> 00:49:57.400
If you're going to be the minister, you have to
975
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:03.409
be ordained. And all the word ordained means is be
976
00:50:03.469 --> 00:50:11.579
officially given authority to minister. Today, At your home. This
977
00:50:11.639 --> 00:50:17.440
is not a church service. This is an ordination. This,
978
00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:22.760
as you have understood what God is saying in your life,
979
00:50:23.849 --> 00:50:25.670
I want you to know the title of my message
980
00:50:26.550 --> 00:50:28.130
and the charge of your life.
981
00:50:28.909 --> 00:50:34.929
You are officially ordained. Today, you're the minister.
982
00:50:35.739 --> 00:50:39.019
Today God doesn't have to look for another. Because I'm
983
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:39.719
going to be open.
984
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:42.780
I'm going to hear from the originator. I'm going to
985
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:47.349
own my calling. And I am going to claim my ordination.
986
00:50:47.889 --> 00:50:52.349
And I'm going to minister to others. We're not looking
987
00:50:52.409 --> 00:50:57.139
for nobody else. God's not searching for anybody else.
988
00:50:58.139 --> 00:50:59.280
Because he put you there.
989
00:51:00.659 --> 00:51:06.420
And today we stop chasing God. things that are distracting.
990
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:06.800
Us from our calling.
991
00:51:07.619 --> 00:51:11.699
He called us to be his ministers, to spread the gospel,
992
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:14.900
to let people know that he loves them and he
993
00:51:14.980 --> 00:51:17.840
lives and he can help them right now. And you
994
00:51:18.449 --> 00:51:21.289
are officially ordained. You don't need a collar for this.
995
00:51:21.670 --> 00:51:24.349
You don't need a platform for this. You don't need
996
00:51:24.389 --> 00:51:26.849
a building for this. All you need to know is
997
00:51:26.889 --> 00:51:28.929
as you step up and be open, God will fill
998
00:51:28.969 --> 00:51:31.190
your mouth He'll show you what to do.
999
00:51:31.409 --> 00:51:33.610
He'll show you where to give. He'll show you how
1000
00:51:33.650 --> 00:51:33.989
to love.
1001
00:51:34.269 --> 00:51:37.019
And today. If I'm a man of God, I'm telling
1002
00:51:37.059 --> 00:51:39.920
you that a revival is about to break out. Not
1003
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:42.179
because it's happening in a building. I feel this thing
1004
00:51:42.219 --> 00:51:46.420
so strong. It's going to happen because ministers are in
1005
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:51.139
every gate that the enemy thought he had locked. And
1006
00:51:51.179 --> 00:51:55.500
we're going to stand and the gates of hell will
1007
00:51:55.599 --> 00:52:00.139
not prevail against him. Somebody give God a shout of
1008
00:52:00.179 --> 00:52:14.639
praise in this building. Hallelujah. It's our work now. It's
1009
00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:18.139
not my work alone. When I'm on this platform, yes,
1010
00:52:18.980 --> 00:52:23.150
I'm your Mr. Mihaki. But when I come off this platform,
1011
00:52:24.030 --> 00:52:26.090
I'm just a child of God who's a minister too.
1012
00:52:27.530 --> 00:52:29.369
So I got to go and share the gospel. I
1013
00:52:29.409 --> 00:52:32.309
got to teach my kids how to love God. And
1014
00:52:32.369 --> 00:52:35.630
I decided as for me and my house, we're going
1015
00:52:35.650 --> 00:52:38.329
to serve the Lord. Pastor, I don't know how I'm
1016
00:52:38.349 --> 00:52:41.780
going to be able to do that. Listen, Matthew 28, 18.
1017
00:52:41.780 --> 00:52:44.050
He told them, I've given you all authority.
1018
00:52:45.409 --> 00:52:49.210
In heaven and earth. Therefore, go make disciples of all nations.
1019
00:52:49.269 --> 00:52:52.889
Do y'all know with this pandemic happening and all of
1020
00:52:52.969 --> 00:52:55.969
the gods of the world being shut down like sports,
1021
00:52:56.369 --> 00:53:00.170
movie theaters, like think about all the other gods, government, finances,
1022
00:53:00.510 --> 00:53:01.769
everything's been shut down.
1023
00:53:02.409 --> 00:53:03.170
He's saying this is.
1024
00:53:03.150 --> 00:53:06.530
The perfect opportunity for you to go and make disciples
1025
00:53:06.570 --> 00:53:11.360
of all nations. And right now, as I record this message,
1026
00:53:12.170 --> 00:53:14.719
And I speak it live to people watching and some
1027
00:53:14.739 --> 00:53:17.079
will watch on rebroadcast and some are watching.
1028
00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:17.800
Right now in their cars.
1029
00:53:18.519 --> 00:53:22.519
It's in every nation. And I'm telling you, you're the
1030
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:26.000
minister in that nation. He said, baptize them in the
1031
00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:27.900
name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
1032
00:53:28.260 --> 00:53:31.150
Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I
1033
00:53:31.170 --> 00:53:33.429
have given you. And be sure of this. This is
1034
00:53:33.449 --> 00:53:34.349
the thing I want to end with.
1035
00:53:34.389 --> 00:53:36.789
Be sure of it. I am with you.
1036
00:53:37.909 --> 00:53:38.269
Always.
1037
00:53:38.349 --> 00:53:42.710
During coronavirus? Always. During the economic collapse? Always. During the
1038
00:53:42.750 --> 00:53:45.869
Great Depression? Always. During slavery? Always.
1039
00:53:47.789 --> 00:53:51.840
Even to the end of the age, if you're going
1040
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:57.739
to be the minister, alone is never an option. God's saying,
1041
00:53:57.780 --> 00:54:01.159
I need you to answer this call and I promise you,
1042
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:06.199
you'll never walk alone. That's why it says, even if
1043
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:08.989
I walk through the valleys of the shadow of death.
1044
00:54:09.789 --> 00:54:11.789
That's how Bella was when we were going down the hallway.
1045
00:54:11.829 --> 00:54:14.750
She thought it was a place of scary and darkness.
1046
00:54:15.530 --> 00:54:17.650
He said, I don't have to fear because you are
1047
00:54:18.250 --> 00:54:21.030
with me. And that's all I want to tell you
1048
00:54:21.110 --> 00:54:24.210
is God is with you. He's with you in the
1049
00:54:24.269 --> 00:54:26.849
midst of your hurt. He's with you in the midst
1050
00:54:26.889 --> 00:54:29.110
of your pain. He's with you in the midst of
1051
00:54:29.150 --> 00:54:34.090
the uncertainty. He's with you because he's not with the church,
1052
00:54:34.170 --> 00:54:39.710
the organization. He's with the church, the organism. And I
1053
00:54:39.750 --> 00:54:44.170
need you to declare by faith. Somebody asks you, when
1054
00:54:44.210 --> 00:54:46.730
you look around, you're trying to figure out who's the
1055
00:54:46.769 --> 00:54:47.289
minister here?
1056
00:54:47.550 --> 00:54:49.949
Who needs to pray? Who needs to do something? Who's
1057
00:54:49.969 --> 00:54:50.670
the minister here?
1058
00:54:51.329 --> 00:54:55.639
You'll be able to step forward boldly and say, I'm
1059
00:54:55.699 --> 00:54:58.400
the minister here. Somebody just say it in faith. Say,
1060
00:54:58.699 --> 00:54:59.940
I'm the minister here.
1061
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:03.000
Come on, one more time. Say, I'm the minister here.
1062
00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:06.409
And I believe that the greatest revival the church has
1063
00:55:06.469 --> 00:55:10.530
ever seen is on the brink of erupting because we
1064
00:55:10.550 --> 00:55:13.929
will not be lulled to sleep anymore thinking it's somebody
1065
00:55:14.010 --> 00:55:19.659
else's job. Do y'all see this whole time I've been preaching?
1066
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:23.699
This thing has been standing up because it wasn't one
1067
00:55:23.739 --> 00:55:30.630
or two ministers in place. It was multiple ministers doing
1068
00:55:30.670 --> 00:55:34.659
what God has called all of us to do. And
1069
00:55:34.699 --> 00:55:38.500
the weight of the world could be on our shoulders.
1070
00:55:38.579 --> 00:55:42.360
But if all of us are in our spot, nothing
1071
00:55:42.409 --> 00:55:44.619
can stop us. I want to pray for you right now.
1072
00:55:45.489 --> 00:55:48.170
Because some of you have just answered the call. God
1073
00:55:48.469 --> 00:55:51.070
has changed your name. Hands lifted all over this place.
1074
00:55:51.409 --> 00:55:53.750
In your living room, right now in your car. Some
1075
00:55:53.769 --> 00:55:54.630
of y'all are on the beach.
1076
00:55:54.710 --> 00:55:56.909
Lift your hands right now. Father, in the name of Jesus,
1077
00:55:57.269 --> 00:55:57.730
I pray.
1078
00:55:57.590 --> 00:56:00.769
That your Holy Spirit is transmitting through every device and
1079
00:56:00.809 --> 00:56:03.530
it is bringing people into the saving knowledge of who
1080
00:56:03.570 --> 00:56:05.829
you are. Father, I thank you that they're answering the
1081
00:56:05.889 --> 00:56:09.300
call to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
1082
00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:12.739
I come against the lies that have tried to disqualify people.
1083
00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:16.239
I come against the pain that has tried to paralyze people.
1084
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:19.760
I come against, Father God, even the frustration that has
1085
00:56:19.820 --> 00:56:20.989
tried to frazzle people.
1086
00:56:21.230 --> 00:56:25.690
And I speak life. and faith into every minister right
1087
00:56:25.750 --> 00:56:26.829
now in the name of Jesus.
1088
00:56:27.110 --> 00:56:30.260
I declare and I decree that we will be open
1089
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:33.880
to you, Father God, that we will hear from the originator, God,
1090
00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:38.849
that we will own our calling, that we answer and
1091
00:56:38.929 --> 00:56:42.289
accept that we are ordained and we will never walk alone.
1092
00:56:43.099 --> 00:56:46.269
Today I declare that something is arising in the earth.
1093
00:56:46.550 --> 00:56:49.510
And the enemy has made a mistake. Because this is
1094
00:56:49.610 --> 00:56:50.050
the church.
1095
00:56:50.389 --> 00:56:53.329
And we are built for this. And the gates of
1096
00:56:53.429 --> 00:56:57.860
hell will not prevail. We trust you. We believe you.
1097
00:56:57.909 --> 00:57:01.000
And we thank you. In Jesus name. If you agree
1098
00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:01.440
with that.
1099
00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:05.719
Say amen. And give God the biggest. Oh come on.
1100
00:57:06.099 --> 00:57:08.199
Give him the biggest shout of praise you have.
1101
00:57:12.500 --> 00:57:14.760
Some of you right now are watching this and you
1102
00:57:14.800 --> 00:57:18.969
need to do the first thing. You've been God's passion
1103
00:57:19.989 --> 00:57:24.250
far from him. But today you heard God calling you,
1104
00:57:24.289 --> 00:57:27.809
whispering you, compelling you. And I just want to share
1105
00:57:27.889 --> 00:57:30.170
good news with you that you can become God's people
1106
00:57:30.369 --> 00:57:34.239
right now. I was in the same boat as you.
1107
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:39.420
I was a liar, a manipulator. I was addicted to pornography.
1108
00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:41.860
I had all kinds of things going on in my
1109
00:57:41.900 --> 00:57:44.639
heart that were bad. And all I did was what
1110
00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:47.280
Romans 10, 9 said, is I believed and I confessed
1111
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:50.519
that Jesus Christ lived, died and rose again just for me.
1112
00:57:50.900 --> 00:57:53.980
And that day I was saved. The Bible says, behold,
1113
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:57.230
when you make that declaration, the old has passed away
1114
00:57:57.909 --> 00:58:00.170
and I'm making everything new. If you're in this room
1115
00:58:00.210 --> 00:58:02.230
and you want to make the greatest decision of your
1116
00:58:02.289 --> 00:58:07.010
life by becoming or switching your position.
1117
00:58:07.010 --> 00:58:10.809
From God's passion to now God's people, I.
1118
00:58:10.769 --> 00:58:13.489
Want you to pray this prayer with me. You don't
1119
00:58:13.510 --> 00:58:16.530
have to confess your sins to everybody. God's saying, as
1120
00:58:16.610 --> 00:58:18.110
I hear you and I see you right now, and
1121
00:58:18.179 --> 00:58:21.400
at Transformation Church and in Transformation Nation, we're one big family.
1122
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:22.380
Nobody prays alone.
1123
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:25.219
So everybody that's watching right now is going to pray
1124
00:58:25.260 --> 00:58:27.199
this prayer with you. But I want you to mean
1125
00:58:27.219 --> 00:58:29.960
it from your heart because today your life is changing and.
1126
00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:32.159
You're going to answer the call of God on your life.
1127
00:58:32.219 --> 00:58:35.019
Everybody just lift your hands and say, God, thank you
1128
00:58:35.820 --> 00:58:40.409
for being my Lord. Thank you for living and dying
1129
00:58:41.449 --> 00:58:47.989
and coming alive again just for me. Today, I receive salvation.
1130
00:58:48.750 --> 00:58:52.590
The old is passing away, and everything's becoming new.
1131
00:58:53.489 --> 00:59:03.050
Change me. Renew me. Transform me. I'm yours in Jesus' name. Amen. Hey,
1132
00:59:03.090 --> 00:59:03.869
can we put our.
1133
00:59:03.809 --> 00:59:07.570
Hands together all over the world and thank God for
1134
00:59:07.610 --> 00:59:09.929
the hundreds, if not thousands of.
1135
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:13.579
People that have just come into the family. You're God's
1136
00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:15.340
people and we love you.
1137
00:59:17.059 --> 00:59:20.880
Thank you so much for watching Transformation Church's YouTube. And
1138
00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:23.389
I just want you to take another step. If this
1139
00:59:23.449 --> 00:59:27.489
is feeding you, join Transformation Nation. That's everybody that doesn't
1140
00:59:27.530 --> 00:59:30.929
live here in Tulsa watching live with us on Sunday mornings.
1141
00:59:30.989 --> 00:59:31.730
Gather your family.
1142
00:59:31.769 --> 00:59:35.739
Let's make this thing an every week situation. And please share.
1143
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:38.780
Share if it has impacted your life. There is somebody
1144
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:41.619
that is waiting for you to share this with them.
1145
00:59:41.909 --> 00:59:44.489
And transformation is only a click away. And there's one
1146
00:59:44.510 --> 00:59:47.170
more thing I would ask you to do. Pray about giving.
1147
00:59:47.550 --> 00:59:50.210
If you want to help us take this message all
1148
00:59:50.269 --> 00:59:52.949
around the world and represent God to lost and found
1149
00:59:52.969 --> 00:59:55.670
people for one reason, transformation in Christ, you can do
1150
00:59:55.710 --> 00:59:58.400
that right now by clicking the give button. I cannot
1151
00:59:58.460 --> 01:00:00.039
wait to see you the next time we're here.
1152
01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:01.800
Live a transformed life.
