-
Welcome. We love you and we're so
-
thankful that you are with us today.
-
And here's what I believe. I believe today is the day of
-
miracles. I believe that.
-
I believe that we're not just singing words on a screen with a
-
catchy tune. Everybody.
-
I believe God wants to meet us at the point of our faith.
-
Amen. Do you believe God still does
-
miracles? Amen.
-
I do too. And so we're believing for
-
miracles today. And as you just heard all of our
-
pastors mentioned, be sure to take these invitation cards with
-
you. Let's be on the lookout this
-
week for who we can invite to Easter next weekend.
-
God wants to impact so many people.
-
He's put a word on on my heart specifically for Easter weekend
-
next week. And then our creative team at
-
all of our locations has some incredible things planned as
-
well. So be in the house and then
-
don't come alone. Everybody say don't come alone.
-
Amen. Hey, let me give you a quick
-
update in terms of Kingdom Builders.
-
And for those of you who are part of Next Level Church, which
-
is the vast majority of us, you know what Kingdom Builders is.
-
That's our above and beyond generosity where we get to fuel
-
forward the vision of and mission of Next Level Church, a
-
locally, national and internationally.
-
And so coming into this year, if you've been hanging out at next
-
Level church since January or so, you know that our Kingdom
-
builders goal this year for 2026 is $4 million.
-
And, and we're just standing that's above and beyond our
-
normal tithe that we return to the Lord.
-
The tithe keeps the church alive.
-
And then our, our generosity, our Kingdom builders giving
-
above and beyond that fuels forward in four areas.
-
You can see them behind me there that we're, we have initiatives
-
and partners where we are reaching the loss, where we, I'm
-
going to look at him here. We're he, we're bringing healing
-
to the hurting. We're empowering the next
-
generation. And throughout the, the, the
-
months of our calendar year, we talk about, we highlight
-
different ministries in each of those 4 categories, including
-
then equipping the church, which includes our next level
-
relational network as well as other things.
-
And so as most of you know, our next step here in Southwest
-
Florida in terms of equipping the church, that category, that
-
initiative so to speak, that pillar for Kingdom Builders is
-
that we are purchasing, we're under contract to purchase a
-
31,000 square foot building on Metro Parkway come off somebody
-
that is completely adjacent to this, our Fort Myers location.
-
And so we own 20 acres here and then that Metro Parkway, we own
-
that piece of, that's the church right there, that's our Fort
-
Myers location. And then we own all of this.
-
And then that's the Metro Parkway property that you can
-
see we're under contract for. And so God, we feel like God's
-
given us a word that this is our next phase.
-
This is our next step locally for us as a church to see the,
-
the whole Fort Myers location build out over the next several
-
years. And so purchasing this gives us
-
a drive line to Metro Parkway, as well as so many other things
-
that I'm not even going to rehearse right now.
-
You can go back and watch Vision Sunday a few weeks ago where
-
Pastor Sarah and I laid all of that out.
-
But here's here's what I want to draw our attention to.
-
We feel like God's given us a word and it comes from
-
Deuteronomy chapter one, verse 8IN Deuteronomy chapter one,
-
verse 8, God is speaking about the promised land and he says,
-
see everyone say, see, I've set the land before you go in.
-
And then right here, this is kind of the key of what what
-
we're clinging to take possession of the land.
-
Somebody say take possession, take possession of the land that
-
the Lord swore to your father's. Look at this.
-
It's generational to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.
-
And then look what it says to give them and to their offspring
-
after them and church family. That's what we're believing.
-
We're believing that that this Metro Parkway building, which
-
we're coming up with a better name.
-
Stay tuned. Terrible name.
-
Yes, we agree. We're working on it.
-
We believe God's given us some inkling on that, but we believe
-
that this next stage for us to take possession of this
-
building. And so all of you know or most
-
all of you know that we are under contract and we're
-
supposed to close on Tuesday, March 31st here in a couple of
-
days. But yeah, hang on.
-
But due to an issue and not ours, the seller's issue that
-
closing has gotten delayed. Everything's fine, but it's
-
gotten delayed here by a a month or so.
-
And so as all of you know, we have someone came forward in
-
February and said, hey, we want to offer $1,000,000 match that
-
every dollar that's given from February 21st till then would be
-
matched in terms of a down payment on this $5.5 million
-
purchase price for this Metro Parkway building.
-
And so here's the cool part, Between what you've given over
-
600,000 since the first of the year for to Kingdom Builders,
-
but then even just since February 21st, you're giving the
-
match as well as what we carried over from 2025, we already have
-
over $1,000,000 for the down payment.
-
Yeah, come on, can we celebrate that?
-
That's awesome. So awesome.
-
But we asked the the couple that that came forward with the match
-
this week if they would extend it another month and they said
-
absolutely. So let's go.
-
Come on. How big of a bite can we take
-
out of that purchase price? Let's just let's just let's just
-
believe God for that. Amen.
-
Hey, come on every location, right?
-
Let's just pray God is leading us.
-
What would God want us to? I know Sarah and I this week,
-
we, we had to move money around for what God spoke to us in
-
terms of giving to be a part of what we're doing here.
-
And so you can just go to nextlevelsearch.com/give, you
-
know that and click on Kingdom Builders.
-
It's intuitive from there. But Father, right now we just
-
come to you, Lord, your sons and daughters and say, God, you're
-
up to something big in this house.
-
And we're fired up about that. And so, Lord, we know our steps
-
are ordered of you. And so God, we thank you that
-
this delay, you're actually going to work it for our good.
-
And so God, you're going to fuel forward.
-
And so, Lord, give it right now. I just believe you're speaking
-
to people, God, you're speaking to people.
-
We can move stuff around. We can move.
-
And God, we're just going to wait.
-
Here's the deal. Our responsibility as pastors is
-
to make the need known. And then each one of us, our
-
responsibility is to go to the Heavenly Father and say, God is
-
for me in my house. What do you want us to do?
-
So God, thank you that you are positioning our church for
-
generations to come, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and to the other
-
officer, we believe that for us too, God, this is a generational
-
move for our church. And so God, we just thank you
-
that you're going to supply everything we have need of in
-
Jesus name. And everyone who agreed with
-
that said, hey man, come on, can we celebrate cost provision?
-
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. Thank you my friend.
-
Hey, today we are finishing up our series called Jesus the one
-
and only. Somebody say Jesus the one and
-
only. And today I want to talk
-
specifically about Jesus as our Redeemer.
-
Jesus is the Redeemer. Say the Redeemer.
-
Because see, there's, there's a lot of beliefs out there.
-
As we've been saying over the last few weeks of this series,
-
there's a lot of beliefs about who Jesus is today.
-
And contrary to popular opinion, Jesus wasn't just a great
-
teacher. He wasn't just a moralist.
-
He wasn't just a philosopher. Jesus came to be the Redeemer,
-
to redeem us fallen, broken mankind.
-
And that's what Jesus did. He came to the cross.
-
He came to this earth, died and lived for 33 years, lived a
-
perfect, sinless life, and then gave his life on the cross.
-
Why? So that you and I could be
-
redeemed. Somebody say redeemed.
-
Hey, is it OK if I preach a little bit today?
-
Come on, we're talking about Jesus.
-
And so today, traditionally in the Christian calendar, so to
-
speak, today is is officially called Palm Sunday.
-
Anybody grow up like in a church where there was.
-
Yeah, come on. Show of hands.
-
Every location. Yeah, you are.
-
Wow. Lots of us here at Fort Myers.
-
Yeah. Any other location downtown or
-
anybody else? I did, man.
-
We grew up. And when you went to church as a
-
kid on Palm Sunday, they they pinned a little palm leaf.
-
Anybody else? And all day long I had to wear
-
this palm leaf. I'm in Indiana Everybody you
-
ship those in because we did not have palm trees so as as as we
-
are just again, it's so So what is Palm Sunday?
-
Palm Sunday was the day of Jesus triumphal entry.
-
And if you're new to Bible study, let me explain that.
-
So Jesus for three years, we know it and we we it's recorded
-
in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the four gospels in the Bible.
-
And then Jesus came into Jerusalem.
-
He kept telling his disciples for quite a while leading up to
-
it. I got to go to Jerusalem.
-
I'm about to lay down my life. And they didn't understand, but
-
Jesus understood that he was going to go into Jerusalem and
-
then on Sunday, which we know as Palm Sunday, the triumphal and
-
for entry, which we're going to read the story here in a second,
-
OK. And then So he's going to go
-
into Jerusalem. And then by Friday, what we know
-
as Good Friday, traditionally, historically is known as Black
-
Friday because the world went black when Jesus died.
-
Jesus gave his life on the cross that he was buried in a tomb and
-
on that first Sunday morning, we know it is Easter.
-
Traditionally it's called Resurrection Sunday.
-
Welcome back next week. Look, I'm on somebody, so I I
-
want us to look at the triumphal entry of Jesus and it's found.
-
This is one of the few stories actually that's found in all
-
four of the gospels and each one has different camera angles, so
-
to speak, perspectives on the day.
-
The one I want to look at is Matthew chapter 21.
Matthew 21 chapter mention
-
Let's begin reading there in verse one as Jesus and his
-
disciples are come about to come into Jerusalem.
-
It says now when they drew near Jerusalem and came to Beth Faj,
-
which is a, a little city outside of Jerusalem to the
-
east. Look what it says to the Mount
-
of Olives, which actually I've been there.
-
We, we were there a few years ago when we toured Israel, group
-
of 20 of us from the church. And so from the Mount of Olives,
-
you literally can see the old city of Jerusalem with the wall.
-
What Jesus would have seen in this moment was the temple was
-
there the wall. And so before he gets to
-
Jerusalem, he's got to do something.
-
Look, when he came to Beth Paj to the Mount of Olives, then
-
Jesus sent two of his disciples saying to them, go into the
-
village in front of you and immediately you'll find a donkey
-
tied in a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
-
Verse three, if anyone says anything to you, you shall say
-
the Lord needs them and he will send them at once.
-
So Jesus is like people are going to confront you about
-
like, hey, why are you taking my donkeys?
-
You just tell them the Lord needs them and they're going to
-
let you go. Don't you appreciate Jesus kind
-
of positions them for a little confrontational moment?
-
He's like, here's what you say and they're like, oh, perfect,
-
thanks. Appreciate that.
-
Look at this next part. This took place to fulfill what
-
was spoken by the prophet saying say to the daughter of Zion,
-
behold, your king is coming to you humble and mounted on a
-
donkey on a colt, the fowl of a beast of burden.
-
Don't you love the ESV little beast of burden verse 6?
-
The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
-
OK, let me give us three thoughts that I think are so, so
-
practical and important for us that we can relate to the
-
disciples in this story and to what's happening here on that,
-
on that first Palm Sunday. Three thoughts.
-
Maybe we want to write these down.
-
Here's the first one. Number one, Jesus uses our
-
mundane for his mission. Jesus uses our mundane for his
-
mission. Think about being these two
-
disciples like this could have felt like a bum deal, right?
-
Like they got this short into the state like so wait Jesus the
-
other 10 get a stay here and hang out with you.
-
Which hanging out with Jesus meant you never knew what was
-
about to happen, right? Like something good.
-
He could multiply food, he could start healing people.
-
But not these two. These two disciples they got
-
sent on. Some would call it a donkey
-
mission. Available everywhere, books are
-
sold or in the lobby. Like picture being these two
-
guys, they're like, wait, wait, you need us to do what we got to
-
go to like the next town over. We got to talk to some dude.
-
It's going to get awkward. It's going to look like we're
-
stealing his animal. We're going to tell him the Lord
-
needs it. He's going to let us go like
-
this. Talk about a mundane mission,
-
right? But Matthew tells us why this
-
mundane mission mattered. Because in order for Jesus to be
-
the Messiah, he had to fulfill over 300 Old Testament
-
prophecies about the Messiah. If Jesus walks into Jerusalem on
-
Palm Sunday, he's not the Messiah.
-
Because Zechariah. Look, let me show you it in the
-
Old Testament. This is the direct quote
-
Zechariah 99 rejoice greatly daughter Zion shout daughter
-
Jerusalem. See your king comes to you
-
righteous and victorious lowly and riding on a donkey on a colt
-
the fowl of a donkey or beast of burden.
-
This is the NIV What what was happening.
-
What was happening was Jesus was using something mundane to
-
fulfill a greater mission. And oh, church family, this
-
week, I felt like to, to, to tell some of you where you feel
-
like your, your life right now just looks ordinary.
-
It just looks just, it looks mundane.
-
I felt God wanted me to tell you to take your mundane and start
-
to see it differently because God wants to use your mundane
-
for his mission. Some of you right now you're in
-
a season of being a stay at home a parent, a stay at home mom or
-
stay at home dad. And you think it, it's just
-
mundane. You think you're just changing
-
diapers. You think you're just a shuttle
-
service driving your kids around.
-
You think you're just helping with homework.
-
Can I tell you something? You're discipling the next
-
generation. Some of you, you work in an
-
office all day long, nine to five, eight to six, whatever you
-
and you think to yourself, what do I do?
-
I just push papers around. I just, I just move files
-
around. I just send emails.
-
Can I tell you God's in it? You matter where you are.
-
Some of you, you're, you work in the school system, you're a
-
school teacher or you're a you're a bus driver.
-
Can I tell you my first bus driver in small town little
-
Indiana was a pastor's wife and she was mean.
-
You know what she didn't know? Little 7 year old Matt Keller
-
would grow up one day to be a 50 year old pastor of thousands of
-
people and tell this story. I'm not mad, she just didn't
-
understand her influence. And some of you, you work in the
-
school system and you think what you're doing all day doesn't
-
matter. Can I tell you it matters?
-
If you drive a school bus, you matter.
-
If you're a janitor in the schools, you matter.
-
If you work with our kids all day, you matter.
-
You might be the only Jesus they ever see.
-
Thank God that mean bus driver pastor's wife wasn't the only
-
Jesus I got to see. If we matter.
-
If you work in a grocery store, your smile matters.
-
If you're a healthcare worker, you matter.
-
If you're retired, seasonal residence or snowbirds,
-
whichever you prefer, hey, listen, your wisdom matters.
-
Your presence matters. How you carry yourself among
-
your neighbors in your neighborhood, it matters.
-
Construction workers, you matter.
-
Business leaders, you matter. God uses our mundane and puts us
-
on mission. I think, yes, I think about this
-
next phase of next level, the way I was just talking about.
-
Listen, you matter, you matter. Some of you think your nine to
-
five job is just ordinary, that it's unspiritual, that it's
-
insignificant. Can I tell you when you work and
-
then you come and you return your tithe the 1st 10%, you make
-
it possible for us to do this 52 Sundays a year, 52 Wednesday
-
nights a year. You make it possible for us to
-
reach hundreds of teenagers. That's what your mundane is
-
doing. And then when we give above and
-
beyond, we impact hundreds of thousands of lives when we when
-
we talk about giving, can I just tell you we're making a
-
difference? So a couple months ago, I got a
-
letter, Sarah and I got a letter in the mail from a, a, a
-
pastor's kid who's a friend of ours in a whole nother state in
-
another part of the country. And in seasons past, we have
-
been closer friends with her parents than we are in this
-
season. It's just stuff is happening.
-
You know how it is. You just drift apart whatever
-
seasons go. So I don't even really know this
-
girl. She's I think she's 19 or 20.
-
She's a college student and the letter was a support letter.
-
And so this summer she's actually taking two missions
-
trips to Africa. She's going to Zanzibar and
-
she's going to Tanzania. Well that your giving letter has
-
sat on my desk for like 2 months.
-
And also, I was going through the mail last week and I walked
-
over. And so you do, if maybe you do
-
with your mail what I do with my mail, which is junk, tear it up,
-
throw it in junk, tear it up. Throw it in, junk, tear it up,
-
throw it in. Oh, there's something I need to
-
know. Actually open it, set it aside,
-
right To put on Sarah's desk. That's what that's the system,
-
man. And it works.
-
It's our system. It's our system.
-
So I had grabbed her support letter and as I'm standing there
-
going through the mail, I literally thought, yeah, I'm not
-
really close to her parents and I don't even know her.
-
And I went to throw it in the trash.
-
And the Holy Spirit said, so Matt, you don't want credit in
-
heaven for all of the souls she's going to impact this
-
summer. And no lie, I stopped and I felt
-
the conviction of Holy Spirit. Go like you can, Matt.
-
You can't even give her 20 bucks to get an eternal reward on your
-
account of every life she's going to impact the summer.
-
So we gave. Why?
-
Because I want to be a part of that.
-
Because what seems mundane is actually connect to something so
-
much more missional. Amen.
-
Aren't you thankful we serve a God who takes our mundane and
-
uses it for his mission? Come on, can we just thank Him
-
every location? Come on.
-
Verse 7. They brought the donkey in the
-
colt. They put him on the put, put on
-
their cloaks on him and and Jesus sat on them.
-
Look what it says. Verse 8.
-
Most of the crowds spread their cloaks on the road and others
-
cut branches. Here's where we get the phrase
-
Palm Sunday from from the trees and spread them on the road and
-
as the in the crowds that went before him and that followed him
-
were shouting Hosanna to the son of David blessed his you comes
-
in the name of the Lord Hosanna, which means God saves in the
-
highest. OK, I want you to see something
-
though in verse eight. OK, so Jesus is coming into
-
Jerusalem riding on this donkey. People are throwing their coats
-
in front of him in worship. They're waving palm branches in
-
worship to Jesus, shouting hosanna, God saves.
-
Like this is amazing. But look at verse 8 again.
-
Look what it says. Most of the crowd, I've never
-
seen this before. This is not how I learned it in
-
Sunday school. In Sunday school, they taught us
-
everybody was praising them. This is most of the crowd spread
-
their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the
-
trees. Here's the second thought I want
-
to give you #2 not everyone experienced him that first Palm
-
Sunday. Not everyone experienced him.
-
When Jesus came into Jerusalem as the Savior of the world, the
-
Redeemer, not everybody worshipped him.
-
Not everybody experienced Him. It says that most, not all did,
-
to which some of us here's where our mind is going right now.
-
No way. If Jesus was in front of me,
-
there's no way I would miss out on that.
-
Can I show you another scripture?
-
This is Jesus talking in Matthew 18 verse 20.
-
And he says this for where two or three gather in my name,
-
there am I with them. Hey church, every Sunday Jesus
-
is in our midst, and yet some of us miss him.
-
Two or three. 123 we good, He's here.
-
We are worshiping our God, our team.
-
Our worship teams are leading us into the presence of God and we
-
just stand there. We don't lift our hands, some of
-
us, we don't clap. We are distracted.
-
We are on our phones. We have our prayer teams who all
-
week long have been praying for us, for God to move, and some of
-
us are so concerned about what people will think in our row if
-
we get out and go down to the front to pray that we miss him.
-
Are we missing him because he's here?
-
He's here. Two people can be sitting in the
-
exact same service and worshipping Jesus within the
-
presence of Jesus. One of them gets a touch by God
-
and leaves change. The other goes and listen.
-
Please don't hear what I'm not saying.
-
Please don't hear condemnation, but please hear holy conviction
-
because Jesus was in their midst and they missed it.
-
Some of them missed it and some of us, we've had such a long
-
week and we can't even come and we're up late watching UFC or
-
NCAA or Netflix. I was just so tired, man.
-
I just had such a long week. Jesus is here.
-
So Jesus is coming into Jerusalem riding on the donkey.
-
Most everybody is waving and praising him.
-
Verse 10, when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was
-
stirred up. And look, they're asking a
-
question, who is this? And the crowd said this is the
-
prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.
-
Hey, listen, church, I'll mention just Easter one more
-
time. Ready next weekend is Easter.
-
There are so many people in your school, so many people in your
-
workplace, in your neighborhood who are asking the question
-
whether they ever say it out loud or not.
-
So what's the thing with the deal and the Jesus and the thing
-
and the Bunny and the deal and the eggs and the cross and the
-
what? Bring them.
-
Move on. Verse 12.
-
And Jesus entered the temple. Look at the very next thing that
-
happens though, right here. Jesus entered the temple and he
-
drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he
-
overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of
-
those who sold pigeons. In other words, there were
-
people. What's happening here?
-
There were people who had basically set up shop to extort
-
God's people when they would go to church.
-
So when they would come to the temple, which was God's house,
-
the church, these people that set up shop because you had to
-
bring a sacrifice. And so they were gouging people.
-
They were charging people to basically buy their animals so
-
that they, they would have something to go offer in their
-
worship. So they had, look, Jesus tells
-
us what it is. So he said to them, so he comes
-
in, he starts flipping tables, man.
-
And he said to them, it is written, my house will be called
-
a House of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers.
-
But then look at the very next thing that happens.
-
So Jesus cleans house, then look.
-
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, in the
-
church, and he healed them. Last thought I want to give you,
-
I'm going to invite our worship teams to come and join me
-
because we're going to pray for healing #3 Jesus cleansed, then
-
he healed. On that first Palm Sunday.
-
Jesus cleansed, then he healed. Jesus the Redeemer of the world
-
came into Jerusalem and the 1st place he went was to the temple
-
of God. Can I show you something?
-
Paul writes in First Corinthians chapter 6 in the New Testament.
1 Corinthians 6 chapter mention
-
Do you not know that your bodies are the temple of the Holy
-
Spirit? Who's in you, whom you've
-
received from God? What's watch?
-
The Bible says that if you and I are in relationship with Jesus,
-
we become the temple of the Holy Spirit.
-
We become the temple of God. God lives in us.
-
So here's my question. God got anything in the temple
-
that needs cleaned out? Man, I felt so strong this week
-
that there would be many of us that have contaminated the
-
temple. Is it possible that the healing
-
we so desire in some area of our life is correlated somehow to
-
the cleansing of the temple because it was on that first
-
Palm Sunday? So, worship team, you can come
-
and come and help me here. Here's what I want to do.
-
We, we, we got time. We've intentionally built in
-
some space right here. I intentionally wanted to preach
-
short today because I want to give the Holy Spirit room to
-
move. So whatever your room, you're in
-
Cape Coral or Yeast or downtown, if you're here, well, online,
-
we're going to create a little space for Jesus to speak, speak,
-
and I believe God's going to. I'm going to pray in two
-
directions. The 1st is I'm going to pray
-
that the Holy Spirit would reveal to us in the areas of our
-
heart. Maybe it's an attitude, maybe
-
it's an appetite, maybe it's an addiction, maybe it's a sin,
-
maybe it's a a wrong motive. That the Holy Spirit would turn
-
his Searchlight on our hearts in these next few moments and he
-
would reveal to us any area in the temple that he wants to
-
cleanse that we need to repent of.
-
And I want to lead us in corporate repentance today.
-
And then after that, we're going to pray for healing.
-
And I've been believing all week long that Jesus the Redeemer is
-
going to heal in the room. But First things first.
-
Can we take the next 60 seconds? Nobody moving around?
-
You're good. Just stay right where you are
-
and just Jesus, that first Palm Sunday,
-
you went straight to the church and you cleansed the temple.
-
And so, Lord, we acknowledge that our lives, our bodies are
-
the temple of the Holy Spirit. And Lord, you see where so many
-
of us, God, perhaps thousands of us, all of us in these last few
-
days or weeks or months of this last season where we have not
-
pleased you, where we have not lived how you've wanted us to
-
live. And so right now, we repent, we
-
acknowledge that that is sin, God, that we've missed the mark.
-
We acknowledge, Lord, that the way you want us to live, your
-
standard, your perfect standard, we have not measured up.
-
And we ask you to forgive us. God, would you forgive us?
-
God, forgive us for taking your grace for granted.
-
Forgive us for that attitude. Forgive us, God, for that habit
-
that we've let sink in as a slip in.
-
God, forgive us for seeing and watching things, for being
-
distracted. God, instead of pursuing you
-
like we know you've been wooing us and calling us to do, God
-
forgive us. Lord, where we've been harsh
-
with people, where we have lied to people, where we have
-
deceived people, God forgive us. God forgive us.
-
Where we've not been the parent that you've called us to be, the
-
husband or the wife wash us clean by the power of Your
-
Spirit today, God? And we thank you right now that
-
Your word says in first John 19 that if we confess our sin, You
-
are faithful and You are just to forgive us our sin and cleanse
-
us from all unrighteousness. So I pray a cleansing would come
-
across every single one of your sons and daughters today.
-
God cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
-
We ask Hey, can we stand in every room?
-
I just feel faith is building in the room.
-
Listen, some of you let me speak to you.
-
Look at me, the Bible says in Romans chapter 8 verse one,
Romans 8 chapter mention
-
there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in
-
Christ Jesus. That means you're not condemned
-
if you're feeling conviction. That's what God wants.
-
He wants us healed.
-
And I want to pray healing. I want to pray healing, I want
-
to pray healing. If you need healing in some area
-
of your life, maybe in your marriage, maybe in a
-
relationship, if you need healing in your finances, if you
-
need healing in in your soul in some level, If you need healing
-
in your your mental health, your thought life, If you need
-
physical healing in your body, wherever you're at right now,
-
would you lift your hands up, come on across every room right
-
now, lift them up high and strong.
-
Why? Because the healer is in the
-
room. Jesus is in the room.
-
And so right now in the name of Jesus, Lord, I don't have the
-
power to heal anybody. I don't have the power to do
-
anything except just preach your word by the function of your
-
spirit. And so God, right now I healing
-
over every room. I pray healing every over each
-
one of these your sons and daughters.
-
In the name of Jesus, I speak healing from the top of your
-
head to the soles of your feet. God, I speak healing over
-
people's mental health right now in the name of Jesus, I declare
-
that depression is broken off in Jesus name.
-
God, that stronghold of depression is being broken right
-
now in Jesus name someone God's healing your leg like your foot
-
or your ankle like something in your lower leg.
-
God, I speak healing over that right now in the name of Jesus,
-
one of you. I felt this during house wide
-
prayer early today that that some of you, you have your
-
throat issues and right now the Lord is healing your throat in
-
Jesus name. He's healing your throat in
-
Jesus name. Someone has a pulled muscle and
-
the Lord is healing you right now just to prove to you that He
-
is the God of healing. Someone has an elbow issue?
-
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that you would heal elbows
-
right now. Come and heal, come and heal,
-
come and heal, come and heal, come and heal, come and heal.
-
Father, I speak healing over relationships.
-
God, would you give us courage to humble ourselves in some
-
relationship that's been broken? God, would you heal?
-
Would you let this week, Easter week, Passion week, be a week of
-
healing in Jesus name, in Jesus name.
-
And everyone who agreed with that prayer said Amen, Amen.
-
Hey, listen, if if you feel, if you sense somewhere in your body
-
that physical healing, will you grab one of our team, somebody
-
with a lanyard on today at your location, Grab them on your way
-
out and just tell them we want to hear testimony.
-
Why? Because the Bible says we
-
overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our
-
testimony, Amen. And so you report that because
-
we want to tell the story of how God's healing in the room.
-
Jesus is the Redeemer, Amen. He's our healer and he is here.
-
Now, listen, let me say this before I release it back to our
-
location. Pastors, we conclude our time.
-
If you've never said yes to a relationship with Jesus, don't
-
leave the building without doing that.
-
So our team is going to call the prayer team back down front as
-
soon as everybody else is going to go that way.
-
You just wait where you are and then come this way and come down
-
to the front of your location. And our prayer team, they're
-
coming. Just come right now.
-
Prayer team, go ahead, they're coming.
-
OK, if, if you don't know Jesus, today can be the day of
-
salvation for you. Can I tell you something, 35
-
years ago today, March 29th, I received Jesus 15 year old
-
teenager. Today's my day.
-
So if you get saved today, we have the same spiritual
-
birthday. That's awesome.
-
So, so don't leave without doing that, OK?
-
And then they're going to pray with you, lead you to Jesus.
-
And then we want to put a Bible in your hands.
-
Amen. Hey, listen, he cleansed, he
-
healed, and now that we're cleansed, we're healed.
-
We get to go and be the light of Jesus to the world around us and
-
bring him in on Easter Sunday. Sound good?
-
So Father, in Jesus name, we seal the work of your spirit
-
that you are doing in US and in this house and we praise you.
-
May we live God conscious this week as we head toward the cross
-
and the celebration of resurrection one week from today
-
in Jesus name. And everyone who agreed said
-
Amen. Come on, let's give Jesus here
-
man, come on.
