  1. If you got your Bible, stand to your

  2. feet all over the house.

  3. As you were coming in today, you should

  4. have received

  5. a little index card, [music] possibly a

  6. pen.

  7. If you did not have one already,

  8. but if you did not receive a index card

  9. when you came in,

  10. now would be the time to maybe raise

  11. your hand and indicate, "Hey Pastor, I

  12. did not get one of those." Amen. We've

  13. got a few that did not get them. So, if

  14. if you didn't just slip your hand up and

  15. our ushers will take care of that and

  16. they'll make sure everybody gets one.

  17. Cuz I even if you don't have one, let me

  18. give you instructions so when you do

  19. have one, you'll know where we're going

  20. with this.

  21. My heart is based off the message the

  22. Lord gave me and the assignment he gave

  23. me today

  24. is to take that index card,

  25. take a pen, and what I want you to do is

  26. either now, during the message, or

  27. somewhere in this moment that we're in

  28. right now, [music] I want you to take

  29. that index card and I want you to write

  30. down what you are believing the Lord to

  31. do in your life. And now, let me caveat,

  32. this is not some magical rub the rub the

  33. lamp and have the genie come out. Come

  34. on, somebody. I'm not talking about

  35. that, but I'm I'm asking you to join

  36. your faith in this moment and say,

  37. "Pastor, I've received a bad report from

  38. the enemy. Come on, I've received a bad

  39. doctor's report and I'm believing for

  40. God to bring healing." How many know

  41. that God's able to touch and he's able

  42. to move? All right. So, I've got some

  43. work to do cuz we've got some a little

  44. bit of faith in the room, but I want to

  45. get a lot of bit of faith in the room

  46. for where we're going because we're not

  47. just trans- we're just not treading into

  48. waters that we stepped into before. But

  49. today, I believe that before we leave

  50. this house, we're literally going to rip

  51. the lid off of this thing and we're

  52. going to see God do supernatural things.

  53. I believe that we serve a supernatural

  54. God.

  55. All right. I going to try that one more

  56. time. I got Thank you, Big John. Thank

  57. you, couple others. I believe we serve a

  58. supernatural God.

  59. All right.

  60. And here's the thing, if we serve a

  61. supernatural [music]

  62. God, then we've got to put our money

  63. where our mouth is. Come on. And we've

  64. got to link our faith with who he really

  65. is in our life, and that's what that

  66. card is. It is a visible, tangible thing

  67. you can hold in your hand to where

  68. you're putting down what you're

  69. believing God to do in your heart, in

  70. your life, in your mind, in your family,

  71. in your finances. Come on. In your

  72. career, in your business. There's all

  73. kinds of areas this can touch. I don't I

  74. can't exhaust the entire list, but you

  75. know what you're believing God to do.

  76. And today, we're going to put our faith

  77. on that paper, and we're going to say,

  78. "God, we're going to believe you're

  79. going to do it." Amen. So, if you're

  80. with me, shout glory.

  81. All right. If you have that, you can

  82. take your liberty as you feel that

  83. prompt in your spirit to write that

  84. down. Uh but really, it is going to be

  85. the thing that looks impossible to you.

  86. I want you to write it down, and I want

  87. you to know that it's not impossible

  88. with our God.

  89. Scripture says this in Matthew. Said,

  90. "With with men, it's impossible, but

  91. with God, all things are possible." So,

  92. we link our faith with that today. Uh

  93. so, I want to go to the book of John,

  94. the book of John this morning.

  95. And I will be I will be holding some of

  96. my own things I'm believing for in my

  97. hand as I preach today. You say, "Wow,

  98. that's an exhaustive piece of paper

  99. there." You're doggone right it is,

  100. because I believe I serve a big God.

  101. And so, I've got multiple layers to my

  102. belief. Some can be held in my hand,

  103. some are held in my heart, but what I

  104. know is this is I know that as I preach

  105. today, that the Lord's going to unlock

  106. some things, and we're going to see God

  107. do something incredible. Amen.

  108. John chapter number [music] 21.

  109. Literally, quite literally, go to the

  110. last verse of this great book.

  111. And when you get there, say, "I got it."

  112. All right.

  113. If you If you didn't, I'll count to

  114. three, and then it'll be on the screen

  115. for you. 1

  116. 2

  117. 3. Amen. John chapter 21, verse number

    John 21 chapter mention

  118. 25. I want you to see it for yourself in

  119. the word if you've got it there.

  120. This is a beautiful

  121. closure to a amazing book that if I have

  122. somebody who has recently gotten saved

  123. and recently come to know the Lord, and

  124. they want to know, "Where do I start?" I

  125. usually point them back to the book of

  126. John. Uh because he's very relational,

  127. but he's very truthful, and he breaks it

  128. down simply. It's where we get the

  129. scripture John 3:16, "For God so loved

    John 3:16

  130. the world," right? And so, the

  131. simplicity of the gospel, he breaks it

  132. down, but one of the most complex verses

  133. that I've ever read read before and

  134. creates tension in our hearts because

  135. when we see this, uh it all all

  136. automatically puts us in a spot where

  137. our mind begins to think about all the

  138. great things that Jesus did when he

  139. walked this earth.

  140. But, these are things we have record of.

  141. So, John wanted us to know, you think

  142. you know how great Jesus is,

  143. but you really don't know how great

  144. Jesus is.

  145. John 21:25, when you get there, say, "I

    John 21:25

  146. got it."

  147. And there are also many other things

  148. that Jesus did.

  149. Woo! Come on, somebody.

  150. Which if they were written one by one, I

  151. suppose I think John was Southern. Can I

  152. get an amen?

  153. I suppose that not even the world itself

  154. could not contain the books

  155. shoo

  156. that would be written.

  157. My God.

  158. I suppose that not even the world itself

  159. it could not contain the books.

  160. Woo, sorry.

  161. My eyes are tearing up. I can't even

  162. read.

  163. That would be written.

  164. And he ended it like this, amen. Can

  165. somebody shout amen?

  166. So, I feel this in my spirit today, this

  167. assignment that the Lord gave me for

  168. this house

  169. and for those that would listen to this

  170. crazy preacher preach today as I preach

  171. it within hand, the things that I'm

  172. believing God to do not only in my

  173. personal life, but things that I'm

  174. believing God to do in this house. But,

  175. I simply give us this charge. Are you

  176. ready? Take the limits off. Look at your

  177. neighbor say, "Take the limits off."

  178. I You You said it and you said it

  179. Presbyterian or Baptist style or dead

  180. Pentecostal style, but I want you to say

  181. alive Pentecostal style. Look at them

  182. and say, "Take the limits off."

  183. Will you pray with me? Father, I thank

  184. you for your word that is forever

  185. settled in heaven. And God, we thank you

  186. that you allowed John to give us this

  187. clear insight into the fact that God,

  188. you did great things on this earth, but

  189. Lord, the things that we have record of,

  190. God, are powerful and great, but Lord,

  191. the things that we didn't even know. And

  192. Lord, I'll declare the things you are

  193. still writing right now in this room.

  194. Lord, we can only hope to know only the

  195. tip of the iceberg of how powerful you

  196. are. Now God, move in this place. Touch

  197. every heart. Let our faith increase

  198. today and we'll give you praise. In

  199. Jesus' name we pray and everybody says,

  200. "Amen." Amen, you may be seated in the

  201. presence of the Lord today.

  202. Take the limits

  203. off.

  204. I want you to understand as I begin

  205. preaching this message this morning that

  206. I'm not just preaching simply to make

  207. you feel good or to give you a

  208. uh a a cheerleader message or to make

  209. you feel really great about how great

  210. your God is. I hope you already feel

  211. that way in this house. Can I get a

  212. witness?

  213. Uh, so I'm going to ask you, how many

  214. really feel you serve a great big

  215. awesome God today? Come on. Uh, before

  216. we get into the into the pumping and

  217. priming and the craziness of the

  218. message, I want you to understand you

  219. really do serve an amazing God. You

  220. serve a powerful God. You serve a God

  221. who is without limit. But I want you to

  222. understand I'm not just preaching this

  223. morning for a change of mind, but I'm

  224. also preaching for a change of heart.

  225. Because it is one thing for me to

  226. convince you that knowledge is powerful

  227. and it is great and that our mind can

  228. understand and comprehend how great our

  229. God is and that's one thing for me to

  230. let you walk out of here saying, "Woo,

  231. man, my mind is changed. I thought God

  232. was one way, but now he's another way."

  233. I want it to go deeper than just your

  234. mind today.

  235. Cuz the fact is we can all read

  236. something and say, "Ooh, that was a

  237. great miracle." And our mind knows that

  238. God can do that. But it's one thing for

  239. us to know in our mind that God can do

  240. miracles, but it's another thing for us

  241. to be convinced in our heart that God

  242. will do miracles.

  243. Come on. It It The mind works in what I

  244. have seen, but the heart deals in what I

  245. have not seen yet. That lets me know

  246. that the impossible thing that I see in

  247. front of me right now, if my heart is

  248. not convinced and I'm not convicted that

  249. he is able to do exceedingly abundantly

  250. above all that I can think or ask, then

  251. there's somewhere between my mind and my

  252. heart that there's been a disconnect.

  253. But I'm asking the Holy Spirit today to

  254. give me the words and give me the

  255. anointing to take you on a journey, not

  256. just so your mind can be convinced that

  257. yes, our savior did great miracles on

  258. this earth, but I want you to know that

  259. he is not finished with you yet. He is

  260. not done with your family and it's not

  261. over. The season of miracles is not

  262. ceased because Jesus was in the is in

  263. heaven. I want to tell you the miracles

  264. that he did back then, he still can do

  265. today. The miracles he did FOR US LAST

  266. WEEK, HE CAN STILL do today. I want TO

  267. KNOW IS ANYBODY'S MIND CONVINCED, BUT IS

  268. ANYBODY'S HEART CONVINCED TODAY THAT OUR

  269. GOD IS ABLE TO DO IT ALL? COME ON. 1 2 3

  270. GIVE HIM PRAISE if you believe it today.

  271. >> [applause]

  272. >> Because the word of God says that he is

  273. the same yesterday, today, and

  274. forevermore. Which means if he did all

  275. these miracles that we see listed in the

  276. Gospels, then we have to know if he did

  277. it then, he can do it today.

  278. My mind is convinced because I see it on

  279. pages. Because I believe the word of God

  280. is infallible. I believe the word of God

  281. is forever true. But the beauty of it is

  282. it is is more than just a a head

  283. knowledge for me. It is a heart

  284. knowledge because I've not only seen

  285. record of it, but I have lived it where

  286. he's done the impossible in my life.

  287. So you might want to testify to your

  288. neighbor beside you cuz they may not be

  289. convinced. Look at them and say, "I know

  290. it because he's done it for me." Come

  291. on, tell them. "I know it because he has

  292. done it for me."

  293. I want you to understand that there is

  294. something we have to deal with today,

  295. and that is access.

  296. Access is something that most people

  297. don't uh don't qualify when they talk

  298. about a limitless God or a God who is

  299. able to do the impossible.

  300. Because simply the definition of access

  301. is the right of someone in a lower

  302. position to approach someone of a

  303. greater authority, enter their presence,

  304. present their need, and be heard by that

  305. person of greater authority.

  306. I want you to understand that we have to

  307. go back to the Old Testament to

  308. understand truly the access that God was

  309. talking about biblically because you can

  310. see it now. You don't just walk into the

  311. Oval Office and greet the President of

  312. the United States, no matter who they

  313. are, because there's security protocols,

  314. there's fail-safe set up to be able to

  315. protect him and his cabinet and the

  316. people that work in the White House. We

  317. don't want just crazy people walking up

  318. in there. Can I get a witness?

  319. And the fact is, even in the Old

  320. Testament, there were access issues, and

  321. it was severely restricted and

  322. restrained to get into the manifest

  323. presence of God. Because if you go back

  324. in the Old Testament tabernacle, the way

  325. it was set up, you had the outer court,

  326. the inner court, and the most holy

  327. place. And the most holy place is the

  328. place that represented God's manifest

  329. presence. We called it the holy of

  330. holies, or the most holy place. And

  331. watch this, it was severely restricted

  332. and restrained from the normal person

  333. getting in. Only the high priest had

  334. access to the holy place. Watch this,

  335. not only was it limited to one person,

  336. but that one person could only go in one

  337. time per year, and even that one time

  338. per year, they could only go in after

  339. they offered the proper sacrifices and

  340. prepared theirself completely. It wasn't

  341. just the high priest could walk in any

  342. day he wanted to. It was only on the day

  343. of atonement that he was able to walk in

  344. and be able to present himself and the

  345. needs of the children of Israel. It was

  346. an absolute restricted case, because in

  347. the Old Testament, it was based off a

  348. sacrificial protocol. The veil, watch

  349. this, that separated the holy place from

  350. the most holy place, is a natural

  351. separation, meaning there was limited

  352. access, and only certain people could

  353. get beyond that. Now, let me let me just

  354. put a caveat in here, because I can feel

  355. some people saying, "Well, our God seems

  356. restrictive, and our God seems like he

  357. doesn't have power or authority." Let me

  358. say this, access was limited, but God

  359. was not limited. Can I get a amen?

  360. All right. I got about 12 people that

  361. are with me. Access might have been

  362. limited, but God was not limited. Now,

  363. we can learn some lessons from this

  364. access that still applies today. Some

  365. people say, "What is God far off and

  366. distant?" No, hang with me. I'm going to

  367. talk to you for a moment about this.

  368. What can we learn from the Old Testament

  369. model and I think we need to bring back

  370. in the church today. Number one, our God

  371. is a holy God.

  372. Come on, somebody. Watch this. I I know

  373. we like to think he's my homeboy, he's

  374. my buddy. No, he ain't none of that. He

  375. is a holy God. He is a righteous God. He

  376. is a God who sits high and looks low. He

  377. sits on the throne. We do not sit on the

  378. throne. He will not abdicate it. He will

  379. not relinquish it. He is the king of the

  380. universe and he should be treated as

  381. such. That means we do not approach God

  382. any way we want to. Can I get a witness

  383. in the house? He is a holy God. He is a

  384. God who is most powerful and he cannot

  385. be approached casually. That is that

  386. puts us back to what David instructed us

  387. that when we come into his presence, we

  388. do not come in with grumbling and

  389. complaining, but we enter his gates with

  390. Thanksgiving and we enter his courts

  391. with praise. He is good and he is a

  392. great God. So, at the beginning of this

  393. message, you say, "I know the Old

  394. Testament had some access issues, but I

  395. know the New Testament is free course

  396. and we can step into his presence." Can

  397. I tell you how DO WE GET IN? PASTOR, WE

  398. GET IN BY THIS ONE WAY, BY OUR PRAISE

  399. and our Thanksgiving. SO, I WISH WE

  400. WOULD TAKE ABOUT 10 seconds at the

  401. beginning of the message and can we let

  402. a praise out IN THIS HOUSE TELLING HIM,

  403. "I RECOGNIZE YOU'RE HOLY. I RECOGNIZE

  404. YOU'RE POWERFUL AND I WANT EVERYTHING

  405. THAT YOU HAVE FOR MY LIFE." ONE, TWO,

  406. THREE, GIVE HIM AN ACCESS praise in the

  407. house.

  408. He is holy. He is powerful.

  409. And God is not to be approached

  410. casually.

  411. Cuz watch this, in the Old Testament, if

  412. you did that, you died.

  413. Like dead.

  414. They would even attach a rope around the

  415. high priest's ankle just in case he

  416. walked in there and did not follow the

  417. proper protocol and he died in the

  418. presence of the Lord.

  419. I know everybody's like, "Well, I don't

  420. know if I want to go in his presence

  421. now."

  422. Oh my gosh. Listen, that was Old

  423. Testament.

  424. But then there came a shift. Woo! Look

  425. at your neighbor say, "The shift." Oh

  426. yeah, this is going to be the fun part.

  427. We preach about death and all that stuff

  428. and spiritually you can die if you

  429. approach any way you want to. Let me

  430. tell you something, we don't tell God

  431. what to do. He's not a genie in a

  432. bottle. He's none of those things. He is

  433. our heavenly Father that has every good

  434. thing that he desires to give to us. And

  435. watch this, he delights to give good

  436. gifts to his children. So, why would we

  437. ever think that we as the children of

  438. God have to sit on the outskirts and

  439. say, "God, do you even see me? Do you

  440. even see what I'm having to face? Do you

  441. even understand what I'm going through?"

  442. Let me tell you, he sees you, he

  443. understands, and watch this, he's got a

  444. blessing coming your way if we will be

  445. willing to take the limits off this

  446. MORNING AND SAY, "GOD, DO IN ME WHAT

  447. ONLY you can do."

  448. There came a shift and the shift was

  449. called the new covenant.

  450. The way to God's presence is now open

  451. through Jesus Christ our Lord. Through

  452. the victory that he won on the cross,

  453. when Jesus declared these powerful

  454. words, "It is accomplished" or "It is

  455. finished." He satisfied every past,

  456. every present, and every future required

  457. sacrifice with what he did on that

  458. cross, granting you and I continuous

  459. access to the Father through the blood

  460. of Jesus Christ. Cuz I want you to

  461. understand the veil that separated the

  462. holy place from the most holy place,

  463. quite literally was ripped from top to

  464. bottom when he declared those words, "It

  465. is accomplished." And that lets me know

  466. before the veil, when it when the veil

  467. was intact, there was limited access.

  468. But after the veil was torn from top to

  469. bottom, representing the flesh that

  470. would terrify and and reduce and limit

  471. our access into the holiness of God. Can

  472. I tell you whenever that veil was torn,

  473. that meant it was limited access before,

  474. but right now it's unlimited access

  475. through the power OF ALMIGHTY GOD. NOW

  476. no longer is it reserved to a priesthood

  477. or to one person, but it is given to

  478. every person WHO PLACES THEIR FAITH IN

  479. JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. IS THERE

  480. ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE WHO WOULD SAY, "I

  481. HAVE PLACED my faith in THE SON OF GOD?"

  482. AND I WANT TO TELL YOU IF YOU HAVE,

  483. YOU'VE GOT TOTAL ACCESS, unlimited

  484. access to the King today to present your

  485. need before the Lord.

  486. The fact is every person who places

  487. their faith in Christ now has unlimited

  488. access to Christ because Ephesians 2:18

    Ephesians 2:18

  489. says, "For through him we both have

  490. access by one spirit to the Father."

  491. Jesus came to reconcile his creation's

  492. access back to the Father. Why did he

  493. come to this earth? Because there was a

  494. disconnect in our relationship, and the

  495. only way that it will be brought back

  496. around where we have total access is

  497. through the sacrifice of Christ on the

  498. cross.

  499. And we have access by that one spirit to

  500. the Father this morning. 1 Timothy 2:8

    1 Timothy 2:8

  501. says, "For there is one God and one

  502. mediator between God and man, and that

  503. is the man Christ Jesus." Christ is our

  504. mediator. He is our introducer. He is

  505. our access point. He stood and still

  506. stands today between sinful man and a

  507. holy God. And the And watch this. He is

  508. bringing us nearer through the blood of

  509. Jesus Christ. Because Ephesians 2:13

    Ephesians 2:13

  510. says, "But now in Christ Jesus, you who

  511. were afar off have been brought near by

  512. the blood of Jesus Christ." We are

  513. brought near not because we are worthy,

  514. but only because his blood is powerful

  515. enough to bring us to him. Come on. I

  516. still believe in the power of the blood

  517. of Jesus today. Do I have any saints in

  518. the house that are thankful for the

  519. blood? I Do I have any believers in the

  520. house that are thankful for the blood of

  521. Jesus? Because the blood is enough to

  522. save YOU. THE BLOOD IS ENOUGH TO HEAL

  523. YOU. THE BLOOD IS enough to deliver you.

  524. The blood is enough to restore you. The

  525. blood is enough to bless you. The blood

  526. is enough to protect you. The blood is

  527. enough to keep you when you're running

  528. the other way. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,

  529. BUT I GET A LITTLE BIT EXCITED BECAUSE

  530. I'M THANKFUL THAT A SAVIOR CAME AND

  531. SAID, "I'VE GOT WHAT YOU NEED, AND IT'S

  532. THE BLOOD OF JESUS." I DARE SOMEBODY

  533. RIGHT NOW TO GIVE JESUS PRAISE FOR HIS

  534. BLOOD. I DARE YOU TO JUMP TO YOUR FEET

  535. AND GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR THE BLOOD.

  536. BECAUSE WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD,

  537. THERE WOULD BE NO REMISSION OF SIN. BUT

  538. THANKS BE TO GOD TODAY, HIS BLOOD COVERS

  539. A MULTITUDE OF SINS. 1 2 3 GIVE HIM

  540. PRAISE FOR the blood.

  541. Now, go old school with me right here,

  542. and somebody shout, "I plead the blood."

  543. You say, "How do I pray for my family?"

  544. There you go. Pray for your family like

  545. that. Say, "I plead the blood."

  546. You say, "Pastor, my teenager's RUNNING

  547. AWAY FROM GOD." I plead the blood over

  548. their mind right now.

  549. Come on, somebody. "Pastor, I got a bad

  550. doctor's report last week, and I don't

  551. know what I'm I'm to do." You say, "I

  552. plead the blood of Jesus over it. I

  553. don't have any other defense. It's a

  554. court case pleading right there. I HAVE

  555. NO OTHER DEFENSE. I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO

  556. COME AGAINST the enemy except through

  557. the blood OF JESUS CHRIST. I DON'T PLEAD

  558. MY KNOWLEDGE. I DON'T PLEAD MY ABILITY.

  559. I DON'T PLEAD MY GIFTING. I DON'T PLEAD

  560. WHAT I CAN OR CANNOT DO IN THE PHYSICAL.

  561. BUT THE ONE THING I CAN DO IS I CAN

  562. STAND BEFORE ETERNITY AND SAY, I DON'T

  563. HAVE THE ANSWER, BUT I PLEAD THE BLOOD

  564. OF ONE WHO TOOK CARE OF IT ON THE CROSS.

  565. I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF ONE WHO CAN REDUCE

  566. EVERYTHING I'M FACING DOWN TO VICTORY IN

  567. MY LIFE.

  568. Somebody holler, I plead the blood.

  569. Cuz the fact is, we must recognize how

  570. powerful,

  571. but also how precious the blood is.

  572. The truth is today, Ephesians 3:12. And

    Ephesians 3:12

  573. I know we're going on a trip through

  574. Ephesians right now, but I want you to

  575. see what Paul wrote down. He said this

  576. in 3:12, "In whom we have boldness and

  577. access with confidence through faith in

  578. him." Somebody holler, faith.

  579. Ooh, come on. Faith will put you in a

  580. place that you will go from being timid

  581. to bold just like that.

  582. You know what it feels like whenever

  583. you're in a moment where everything

  584. feels like it's caving in around, you

  585. don't have no answers, but then all of a

  586. sudden you feel faith rise up in you,

  587. and the things you were saying before

  588. end up being a place that you say, "I'll

  589. never say that again." And you walk out

  590. in boldness and say, "I'm going to

  591. confess this before the Lord, and I'm

  592. going to declare that I will be well in

  593. Jesus' name."

  594. You begin to go from a place of

  595. timidness to boldness. And I want to

  596. instruct you today. The fact is that you

  597. have the ability through faith in God to

  598. be able to look at your situation as a

  599. child of God who has all power and

  600. access to the King of kings, and look at

  601. that situation and say, "I know it looks

  602. like this in the natural." And let me be

  603. honest with you. There are things THAT I

  604. HOLD IN MY HAND that look impossible IN

  605. THE NATURAL BUT I HAVE to look further

  606. than that and understand yes in the

  607. natural that looks impossible, THIS

  608. LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE BUT IF I BELIEVE IN

  609. FAITH that my God is more than able to

  610. do exceedingly, abundantly above all I

  611. can ASK OR THINK THAT I CAN STAND UP IN

  612. HERE AND I CAN SAY it's time to take the

  613. limits OFF OF OUR GOD AND LET HIM DO

  614. what he does best. Come on. I declare

  615. OVER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU GOT TO

  616. TAKE THE LIMITS OFF AND LET HIM DO WHAT

  617. HE DOES BEST. I KNOW THEY'RE RUNNING

  618. FROM GOD NOW BUT LET GOD CHASE THEM DOWN

  619. AND PULL THEM BACK. PUT THEM IN THE

  620. HANDS OF GOD AND SAY, LORD I TRUST YOU

  621. IN THIS MOMENT.

  622. I trust you because you

  623. are

  624. God.

  625. And when we truly

  626. understand the access that you and I

  627. have been given.

  628. Can Can I land right there for a second?

  629. Some of you are sitting here saying,

  630. well, because of what I've done and what

  631. I've done in my past and the mistakes

  632. I've made and all this stuff that that

  633. God doesn't want to give me access

  634. because I hear the enemy's defense in

  635. that trying to convince you that God is

  636. not for you but he is against you.

  637. But let me go ahead and combat that in

  638. your mind.

  639. You say, well pastor, I made mistakes.

  640. We've got this view of God

  641. that every time we have we make a

  642. mistake, he is literally sitting in

  643. heaven with a lightning bolt waiting to

  644. strike you dead.

  645. Come on. I grew up this way.

  646. I was scared. Come on somebody.

  647. I was scared if I did something wrong,

  648. I'm going to die immediately.

  649. Immediately.

  650. And if if God didn't get to me, my mama

  651. would. Come on somebody.

  652. Hey.

  653. I was scared because I didn't understand

  654. the access in the grace of God during

  655. that moment.

  656. I didn't understand that it's in in what

  657. watch this Paul very plainly said you

  658. it's not grace so you could go out and

  659. do what you want to do God forbid.

  660. Now watch this because this is where the

  661. twisting of doctrines get in the in the

  662. model and in the midst of it and they

  663. convince people you can go live any way

  664. you want to live and you will always be

  665. saved but the devil is a liar.

  666. That is a lie from the enemy. Watch this

  667. to talk you out of the total access that

  668. God desires to give to you and to have

  669. over your life and to have in your life.

  670. The enemy would like to convince you

  671. that every time you make a mistake that

  672. you have absolutely ran away from God.

  673. Can I tell you something? We are human

  674. beings. If you cut me guess what I'm

  675. going to bleed. You slap me I'm slapping

  676. you back. I'm a human being. We are

  677. prone and we will make mistakes in this

  678. life but that is where the grace OF GOD

  679. COMES IN. IT'S NOT A FACT IF I'M GOING

  680. to fall but the Bible says a just man

  681. falls seven times and he gets right back

  682. up every single time. Your justice the

  683. the justice OF YOUR LIFE AND COULD

  684. DECLARING you a just person is not

  685. whether you fall OR NOT IS WHETHER YOU

  686. GET BACK UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT

  687. AND YOU LEARN FROM THAT MISTAKE AND YOU

  688. DON'T GO BACK TO THAT. I'M NOT TALKING

  689. ABOUT SLOPPY AGAPE. I'M TALKING ABOUT a

  690. love that TRANSCENDS EVERY MISTAKE. HE

  691. ALREADY CALCULATED FOR OUR MISTAKES. HE

  692. ALREADY CALCULATED FOR THAT. SO DON'T

  693. YOU DARE LET the devil convince YOU CUZ

  694. YOU MESSED UP ONE TIME YOU DON'T HAVE

  695. ACCESS TO THE FATHER. HE STILL LOVES

  696. YOU. HIS BLOOD IS STILL ENOUGH AND HE

  697. WANTS YOU IN HIS FOLD. CAN YOU SAY AMEN?

  698. Look at your neighbor say total access.

  699. Total access because we are called to

  700. take the limits off of our God.

  701. Watch this when we understand that we

  702. have access

  703. and the access we have been given it

  704. will change the way that we pray

  705. and it will change the way we approach

  706. our God.

  707. It'll it'll change the way we approach

  708. our God. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 16 says

    Hebrews 4:16

  709. it like this, "Let us therefore come

  710. timidly."

  711. No, that ain't what it says. Oops, typo,

  712. my bad.

  713. I was just seeing if y'all was paying

  714. attention. Ha ha ha, everybody laugh,

  715. it's all right. Okay.

  716. Let us therefore come boldly. Somebody

  717. say boldly.

  718. To enter the holiest by the blood of

  719. Jesus and by a new and living way which

  720. he consecrated for us through the veil,

  721. right? We talked about that a few

  722. minutes ago. That is his flesh. He came

  723. and offered himself as a spotless

  724. sacrifice so the veil could be torn to

  725. consecrate a new and living way so you

  726. and I can boldly approach his throne AND

  727. SAY, "GOD, THIS IS WHAT I NEED YOU TO

  728. DO. I cannot do it myself, but Lord, I'm

  729. going to let it be known in heaven and

  730. in earth that you are able to do

  731. everything I'm asking you to do." Oh my

  732. GOD, I FEEL THAT IN MY SPIRIT. Some of

  733. you need to get bold again in your

  734. asking to the Lord. Some of you need to

  735. get BOLD AGAIN SAYING, "GOD, I KNOW IT

  736. LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT I TRUST YOU WITH

  737. THIS." YOU SAY, "I NEED GOD TO TAKE CARE

  738. OF SOME DEBT IN MY LIFE." THEN YOU START

  739. SAYING, "GOD, I BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT."

  740. "I NEED GOD TO TAKE CARE OF A SICKNESS

  741. IN MY BODY." YOU BRING IT TO THE ALTAR

  742. AND SAY, "GOD, I BOLDLY COME TO YOU

  743. BELIEVING YOU'RE ABLE TO TURN THINGS

  744. AROUND IN MY LIFE." I WANT TO KNOW IS

  745. THERE ANYBODY THAT SAY, "I'VE SEEN HIM

  746. DO IT BEFORE AND I BELIEVE HE'LL DO IT

  747. AGAIN. I'VE SEEN HIM DO IT IN OTHERS'

  748. LIVES. I'VE SEEN HIM DO IT IN MY LIFE,

  749. BUT I PRAISE THE LIVING LAMB OF GOD THAT

  750. IF HE DID IT FOR ME, BABY, HE'S ABOUT TO

  751. DO IT FOR YOU, FOR YOU, FOR YOU, FOR

  752. YOU." I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD GIVE HIM A

  753. BOLD PRAISE AND SAY, "I BELIEVE HE'S

  754. GOING TO DO IT. HE'S ABOUT TO TURN IT

  755. AROUND. HE'S ABOUT TO SHIFT IT ALL IN MY

  756. LIFE." COME ON, SOMEBODY.

  757. CAN I JUST TESTIFY about boldness?

  758. That's what I love ABOUT JULIA'S STORY.

  759. I KNOW SHE STANDS SHE SITS HERE and she

  760. don't sit very long when it comes to the

  761. message. She's up dancing and shouting

  762. and all those things. She is a bold LADY

  763. OF GOD, AND CAN I TELL YOU IF SHE HAD

  764. NOT STOPPED WHEN SHE DID AND PROTECTED

  765. the word of God like she does so much IN

  766. HER LIFE, IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY

  767. THIS MORNING. BUT, because of her

  768. BOLDNESS AND FAITH, I BELIEVE that she

  769. had angels ALL AROUND THAT MOTORCYCLE. I

  770. BELIEVE THAT RIGHT NOW SHE'S ALIVE AND

  771. BREATHING AND GETTING up even THOUGH

  772. IT'S PAINFUL BECAUSE THE GOD OF HEAVEN

  773. SHOWED UP BECAUSE SHE WAS BOLD. CAN I

  774. GET A WITNESS FROM SOME BOLD FOLK IN THE

  775. HOUSE THAT YOU KNOW GOD'S DONE IT BEFORE

  776. AND HE'S ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN IN OUR

  777. LIFE?

  778. THAT'S WHY I PRAISE GOD THAT WE GOT A

  779. MOM AND DADDY THAT'S BOLD ENOUGH TO SAY

  780. WE GOT TO GET HER TO THE ALTAR. WE STOOD

  781. HERE ON WEDNESDAY of last week and we

  782. I think it was Wednesday. I don't know,

  783. I could be wrong. We stood right here

  784. and I stood with the word of God and I

  785. proclaimed the word of God OVER SHERYL'S

  786. BODY AND WE PRAYED OVER HER. WE ANOINTED

  787. her with the entire family AND I SAID,

  788. "GOD, I GIVE HER TO YOU AND WE GIVE HER

  789. TO YOU IN THIS MOMENT." HERE'S WHAT I

  790. KNOW. I KNOW SHE'S IN A GREAT DEAL OF

  791. PAIN RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE STILL BELIEVING

  792. FOR NO BLOOD CLOTS TO GET IN HER BODY OR

  793. TO MOVE AROUND. BUT, HERE'S WHAT I KNOW.

  794. IT COULD LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT THIS

  795. MORNING, BUT THANKS BE TO GOD SHE CAME

  796. THROUGH. THEY DID EVERYTHING that they

  797. was supposed TO DO AND I BELIEVE THAT IT

  798. DIDN'T JUST GET HERE. I BELIEVE IT GOT

  799. IN HER HEART AND I BELIEVE THAT WE SPOKE

  800. BOLDLY THE WORD OF GOD AND HE'S ABLE.

  801. COME ON, WE CALLED FOR THE ELDERS OF THE

  802. CHURCH. WE ANOINTED HER WITH OIL AND WE

  803. BELIEVE THAT GOD RAISED HER UP FOR A

  804. TIME such as this.

  805. Look at your neighbor and say, "IT'S

  806. TIME TO BE BOLD."

  807. People get nervous when you start

  808. talking about boldness.

  809. Because here's what I'm going to say.

  810. Let me Let me caveat this before I get

  811. tanked up and get going. You don't Don't

  812. leave me. Stay right there.

  813. Let me figure this out.

  814. Because I want you to understand there's

  815. a difference between boldness and

  816. rudeness.

  817. People think cuz I'm loud that I'm

  818. godly. That's not true.

  819. Hello somebody.

  820. Is this

  821. Is that thing on?

  822. Maybe it is. I don't know if it is or

  823. not. But let me fix this real quick and

  824. let you understand something that

  825. there's a difference between being bold

  826. and being rude. Boldness comes with

  827. kindness.

  828. Boldness comes with grace.

  829. Boldness comes with a faith that is

  830. unhinged. Come on, I'm just going to be

  831. honest. It's a unhinged faith. That

  832. means I hear you talking about this

  833. stuff, pastor, and I don't understand

  834. what's on that paper. I may talk about

  835. it in a minute and I MAY NOT. BUT WHAT I

  836. AM GOING TO TELL YOU IN THIS MOMENT, I'M

  837. NOT GOING TO BE RUDE TO MY BROTHERS and

  838. sisters just cuz I HAVE BOLD FAITH. WHAT

  839. I'M GOING TO DO IS IT'S GOING to be

  840. infectious IN ME. AND BECAUSE THERE'S AN

  841. INFECTIOUS BOLDNESS IN ME, IT'S GOING TO

  842. GET ON THEM. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO

  843. START TAKING THIS TERRITORY THAT GOD'S

  844. CALLED US TO TAKE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

  845. ALL I NEED IS ABOUT HALF THE CHURCH TO

  846. GET BOLD WITH PASTOR AND SAY IF HE DID

  847. IT IN ME AND HE DID IT IN MY FAMILY, HE

  848. CAN DO IT FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. AND I

  849. BELIEVE IN THE HOUSE THAT WE GOT SOME

  850. BOLD FOLKS THAT ARE GOING to say no to

  851. the devil.

  852. Now,

  853. you can be rude to the devil all you

  854. want to.

  855. It's true.

  856. You can be rude to the enemy all you

  857. want to. But remember, people are not

  858. our enemy, they are assignment.

  859. >> [snorts]

  860. >> And in this house, we have to verify and

  861. understand where God has us. The

  862. boldness that we supposed to have

  863. is coming from a throne of grace.

  864. Right?

  865. And so if it comes from a throne of

  866. grace, it's going to be imputing grace

  867. back to us to give to other people.

  868. And so that's where our boldness should

  869. start and where our boldness should

  870. stay.

  871. Cuz watch this. I want you to

  872. understand. I don't know where all that

  873. came from, but we're called to be bold.

  874. Come on, somebody.

  875. We aren't praying to a distant God who

  876. must be convinced to notice us.

  877. Look at that.

  878. Story on Mount Carmel where Elijah was

  879. there. The the prophets of Baal, all

  880. they were doing was trying to get a

  881. deaf, mute, dead God to notice them and

  882. they look ridiculous.

  883. Elijah stepped up and said, "Get out the

  884. way. Let me pray this quick prayer and

  885. let's see fire fall down from heaven."

  886. Now, that was Old Testament and he went

  887. slaughtered every one of them when he

  888. was done. Come on somebody.

  889. I ain't telling you to do that. That is

  890. not permission.

  891. Amen.

  892. It is permission to tear down every

  893. stronghold and every principality that

  894. comes against your home though.

  895. Come on. I think it's time that we get

  896. boldness back in our house again.

  897. Come on mamas and daddies.

  898. All right, I got about three of you.

  899. Praise God.

  900. Get some bonus back in our homes again

  901. and the enemy will not be able to take

  902. advantage of our children, our

  903. grandchildren, and those that are coming

  904. down the line. We stand in agreement and

  905. we stand in solitude. BUT WATCH THIS, WE

  906. ALSO STAND IN obedience to his word.

  907. If we want his blessings to be unlocked

  908. and his access to be there, we have to

  909. obey his word.

  910. We can't just live any way we want to

  911. live and expect God to show up.

  912. Hello somebody.

  913. We aren't praying to a distant God,

  914. but we are praying to a very close God.

  915. We are approaching the throne of the

  916. limitless God. Watch this, who has

  917. invited us to come in.

  918. He's asking you. He is He has given me

  919. permission to give you open invitation

  920. to get into his presence today.

  921. We going to go there today because

  922. scripture commands us to come boldly,

  923. not timidly.

  924. Now watch this. I'm going to say this

  925. again in a different way. Boldness is

  926. not arrogance. It is confidence in the

  927. invitation.

  928. It's confidence in invitation.

  929. Boldness is not arrogance. It's not hey,

  930. look at me. Look at my faith. No, no,

  931. no. If we're doing it for that reason,

  932. God's not going to touch that.

  933. God shows up where there's a humble

  934. heart

  935. that says, "Look, God, I have submitted

  936. myself to you and whatever you desire to

  937. do, do it in me." Boldness is not

  938. arrogance, it is simply confidence. Look

  939. at your neighbor and say, "Confidence."

  940. It's confidence in the invitation. That

  941. doesn't come from an organization, but

  942. it comes from a God who sits on the

  943. throne and is inviting us into his

  944. throne room.

  945. Now,

  946. Hebrews 10:19-20

    Hebrews 10:19–20

  947. says, "Therefore, brethren, having

  948. boldness to enter the holiest by the

  949. blood of Jesus, by a new living way

  950. which he consecrated for us through the

  951. veil, that is his flesh." We understand

  952. something powerful in this moment that

  953. we have both we can approach his throne

  954. boldly in the holiest place, not through

  955. our own power, but through the blood of

  956. Jesus Christ. Through Jesus, we are

  957. invited beyond the veil or behind the

  958. veil. And when we go behind the veil

  959. physically and spiritually, we have

  960. access to the one whose wisdom has no

  961. limit. Come on, somebody. Whose strength

  962. has no limit. Whose resources have no

  963. limit. Whose authority has no limit. AND

  964. THE GOD WHOSE ability has no limit.

  965. Therefore, our faith should not be

  966. confined by what is possible only for

  967. mortal men, but the limitation is not on

  968. God's side. Watch this. The limitation

  969. is on our side.

  970. Come on. Are you with me? Are you

  971. tracking? I'm trying to lay a little

  972. foundation before we get all crazy and

  973. start clapping and shouting and all that

  974. stuff. Cuz I feel like we're going to go

  975. there. But watch this. We often measure

  976. God's ability by our capacity.

  977. >> [snorts]

  978. >> We see the problem and say, "Oh God,

  979. there's no way you can do that." But we

  980. are measuring God's ability by our

  981. capacity at that moment.

  982. WE LOOK AT THE OPPOSITION THE ENEMY

  983. THAT'S COME AGAINST our life, and we

  984. look at the impossibility, and we

  985. measure that BASED OFF OF OUR CAPACITY

  986. SAYING, "WELL, there's no way I'd ever

  987. be able to do this." But really in that

  988. moment, we are discounting the broadness

  989. and the power of our God.

  990. He is the all-powerful God. Can you say

  991. amen?

  992. So, here's what I wrote down. Faith

  993. measures the obstacle by the greatness

  994. of God, never the greatness of God by

  995. the obstacle.

  996. I'mma let that sink in. It took me a

  997. minute, let it sink in, too.

  998. Because many times if we're not careful,

  999. we will end up telling God how great he

  1000. is based off of how big our problem is.

  1001. And say, "Well, God, this problem's

  1002. really big. I know you did last time,

  1003. but this one's like double. Come on,

  1004. somebody."

  1005. This problem is like double the problem.

  1006. I I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S going on. Can I

  1007. tell you that the problem is nothing

  1008. compared to how great our God is?

  1009. THE PROBLEM YOU ARE FACING RIGHT NOW,

  1010. and I'm not here to belittle what you're

  1011. walking through. I feel the pain. I

  1012. understand the the the pressure and the

  1013. temptation. I understand what you're

  1014. going through. I know because I've

  1015. walked through it, but here's what I

  1016. want you to understand. NO MATTER WHAT

  1017. THAT PROBLEM looks like in your eyes, I

  1018. want you to understand it's not as big

  1019. as your God.

  1020. Oh, come on. I got I got about three

  1021. people that are with me right there.

  1022. Let Let's go to the word of God and

  1023. figure OUT HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THIS.

  1024. David said it like this, "Oh, magnify

  1025. the Lord with me, and let us exalt his

  1026. name together." What is he talking ABOUT

  1027. RIGHT THERE? HE understood something

  1028. powerful, that my eye has a depth

  1029. perception problem. And if the problem

  1030. is closer to me than my God is, it will

  1031. appear bigger than my God is. But he

  1032. said instead of magnifying the problem,

  1033. he said, "Why don't you shift locations

  1034. and put the enemy where he belongs, and

  1035. put God right where he belongs?" That's

  1036. why he said, "I'm going to remember what

  1037. the Lord has done for me. I will keep

  1038. his commandments. I will keep his

  1039. promises before my eyes all the days of

  1040. my life. My magnifying glass will not go

  1041. to my problem, but I will shift my

  1042. perspective and say, 'YOU KNOW WHAT? IF

  1043. I'M GOING to magnify anything, I WILL

  1044. MAGNIFY MY GOD GREATER THAN ANYTHING the

  1045. enemy is bringing AGAINST MY LIFE. HOW

  1046. DO I MAGNIFY A GOD WHO'S ALREADY AS BIG

  1047. AS HE'S GOING TO GET? YOU GOT to shift

  1048. your perspective through your praise.

  1049. You got TO SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE

  1050. THROUGH YOUR NEXT HALLELUJAH. YOU SAY,

  1051. "PASTOR, WHY DO WE GOT TO GET SO ROWDY?"

  1052. CUZ YOU GOT TO LET YOUR MIND KNOW THAT

  1053. YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL AND YOU GOT TO

  1054. LET THE YOUR MIND KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING

  1055. DEEPER ON THE INSIDE OF ME THAT ONLY

  1056. CONNECTS TO HEAVEN THROUGH MY PRAISE.

  1057. SO, I'M GOING TO STIR YOU ONE MORE TIME

  1058. TODAY. IF YOU SAY, "PASTOR, I'M GOING

  1059. THROUGH A DIFFICULTY AND IT LOOKS

  1060. IMPOSSIBLE." I DARE YOU TO JUMP TO YOUR

  1061. FEET RIGHT NOW AND PRAISE GOD AND LET

  1062. YOUR MIND KNOW YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL. I

  1063. KNOW THEY'RE RUNNING. I KNOW IT LOOKS

  1064. BAD. I KNOW THE FINANCES ARE CRAZY, BUT

  1065. I WILL MAGNIFY THE LORD AND I WILL EXALT

  1066. HIS NAME AND I KNOW GOD WILL BRING ME

  1067. THROUGH EVERY BIT OF IT. 1 2 3 GIVE HIM

  1068. PRAISE.

  1069. I REFUSE TO LET FEAR control my mind.

  1070. Now, look.

  1071. I'm almost halfway done.

  1072. Matthew 13

  1073. 58

  1074. starts talking about

  1075. this thing called unbelief. Somebody say

  1076. unbelief.

  1077. Now, he did not

  1078. do many mighty works

  1079. there.

  1080. Shut up, Siri.

  1081. Sorry, my watch started talking to me.

  1082. Play a thing off.

  1083. I don't know how that happened.

  1084. This is talking about Jesus. He did not

  1085. do many mighty works there because of

  1086. their

  1087. unbelief.

  1088. This was specifically speaking to his

  1089. hometown, Nazareth.

  1090. Because people in that town knew him as

  1091. the carpenter's son.

  1092. They even said that in that scripture,

  1093. "Isn't this the carpenter's son? But

  1094. we're we're astonished by what he's

  1095. saying. We're astonished by his

  1096. teaching, but wait, this is the little

  1097. guy that we saw skin his knee and this

  1098. is the guy that we saw over here and

  1099. Joseph and Mary were trying to keep him

  1100. inside the fence and he was that toddler

  1101. that tried to get out and run away all

  1102. the time. You say, "Well, how do you

  1103. know that?" Because they miss they would

  1104. he went missing for a couple days.

  1105. Come on. You say, "Well, my toddler's

  1106. been bad, Pastor." Listen, he ain't

  1107. going to be as bad as Jesus was. Jesus

  1108. ran away.

  1109. Come on. He was in the temple teaching.

  1110. He was a little older, but I understand

  1111. that. So, you say, "Well, don't don't

  1112. criticize your parenting. Just do your

  1113. do your best you can." Come on,

  1114. somebody.

  1115. So, I want you to understand they knew

  1116. who he was. They had seen him grow up

  1117. and now he's teaching these things.

  1118. They're like, "Wow, this is powerful,

  1119. but I just can't receive it because I'm

  1120. too familiar with you."

  1121. Ooh.

  1122. This is the danger

  1123. if there is any danger in sitting in a

  1124. Pentecostal church.

  1125. And here's what I want you to

  1126. understand. The enemy will convince you

  1127. that you were here to be a spectator.

  1128. And because you sit in spectator mode,

  1129. you get used to seeing God do something

  1130. a certain way. And then, watch this.

  1131. There's a couple things that can happen.

  1132. Number one, if it doesn't happen the way

  1133. you've always seen, you get

  1134. uncomfortable.

  1135. And then,

  1136. on the other side of that, you become so

  1137. familiar with the moving of the spirit

  1138. that you can't recognize how God is

  1139. moving even on your own life.

  1140. This is one of the dangers of being in a

  1141. Pentecostal church. I love being

  1142. Pentecostal, baby. We're going to shout.

  1143. We're going to dance. We're going to get

  1144. that organ fired up. We're going to do

  1145. all that stuff. We're going to do all

  1146. the all the Pentecostal things because I

  1147. believe it's an expression of our faith.

  1148. What's going on inside is going to come

  1149. out. Come on. Can I get an amen? But,

  1150. here's what I want you to understand.

  1151. Don't ever let yourself drift to the

  1152. place that you become familiar with

  1153. Jesus.

  1154. That's what happened in his hometown.

  1155. They said, "Well, I see WHAT HE'S I HEAR

  1156. WHAT HE'S DOING. I EVEN SEE WHAT HE'S

  1157. TRYING TO DO." AND HE PROBABLY DID some

  1158. miracles in his hometown, BUT THEY COULD

  1159. NOT believe it because they were too

  1160. familiar with him.

  1161. The danger is familiarity. Don't you

  1162. ever approach him Again, I'll say it

  1163. like this. Don't approach him as your

  1164. homeboy.

  1165. Come on, somebody. He is a holy God.

  1166. Somebody shout holy God.

  1167. And he is to be treated as such because

  1168. when we approach him in a unrespectful

  1169. way, then we treat him as familiar when

  1170. he is not supposed to be treated as

  1171. familiar or common. He is an uncommon

  1172. God with uncommon solutions.

  1173. And so today we have to get that in our

  1174. heart.

  1175. Watch this. Their unbelief limited a

  1176. limitless

  1177. God.

  1178. And that's ONE SITUATION, BUT THEN

  1179. THAT'S THE BAD NEWS, but here's the good

  1180. news because then a Gentile came along

  1181. called the Centurion.

  1182. Who showed what limitless faith looks

  1183. like. Somebody say limitless faith.

  1184. You can find this story in Matthew

    Matthew 8:5–13

  1185. chapter 8 verses 5 through 13, but I

  1186. want you to see what the Centurion his

  1187. effect was on Jesus because he came to

  1188. him and said my servant is sick. He said

  1189. and I need you to come and pray, but he

  1190. said, "You know what? YOU DON'T EVEN

  1191. HAVE TO SHOW up at my house. If you

  1192. would just speak the word."

  1193. Come on somebody.

  1194. I feel this in my spirit today that

  1195. somebody in this place would say,

  1196. "Pastor, I came here today just seeking

  1197. one word from the Lord." I'm about to

  1198. give it to you right now because Jesus

  1199. said this when Jesus heard what the

  1200. Centurion said, he marveled and said to

  1201. those who were who followed, "Assuredly

  1202. I say to you, I have not found such

  1203. great faith not even in Israel or the

  1204. household of faith." People that call

  1205. themselves the household of faith that

  1206. have been around this thing all their

  1207. life and this man, he works for the

  1208. other side. Can I get a witness as what

  1209. he was saying? He said he works for the

  1210. other team, but he came in and said,

  1211. "I've got service and I tell them go

  1212. here and go there." BUT HE SAID, "I KNOW

  1213. JESUS, IF YOU'LL JUST say the word, I

  1214. KNOW SOMETHING'S ABOUT TO SHIFT." CAN I

  1215. TELL YOU I BELIEVE SOMETHING'S about to

  1216. shift in this house. You don't HAVE TO

  1217. HAVE SOMEBODY COME LAY HANDS on it. YOU

  1218. DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME

  1219. PROPHESY. I'VE ALREADY GOT THE WORD ON

  1220. IT RIGHT NOW. I SERVE A LIMITLESS GOD.

  1221. AND IF I SERVE A LIMITLESS GOD, I'VE GOT

  1222. HIS WORD ON IT THAT IF I LINK MY FAITH

  1223. WITH HEAVEN, WHATEVER I'M BELIEVING FOR

  1224. IN JESUS' NAME IS ABOUT TO BE DONE. I

  1225. BELIEVE BY FAITH HE'S GOING TO DO IT. I

  1226. BELIEVE BY FAITH HE'S GOING TO

  1227. RESURRECT. I BELIEVE BY FAITH THERE'S

  1228. NOTHING TOO HARD FOR HIM. TODAY I'VE GOT

  1229. A WORD. HE IS POWERFUL. HE IS ABLE. NOW

  1230. SOMEBODY GIVE HIM PRAISE in the house

  1231. today.

  1232. HALLELUJAH. SOMEBODY HOLLER TAKE THE

  1233. LIMITS OFF.

  1234. THIS CENTURION BLEW THEIR MIND. HE NOT

  1235. ONLY knew in his mind that Jesus could

  1236. heal. He convinced in his heart THAT

  1237. JESUS WOULD DO IT FOR HIM AND HIS HOUSE.

  1238. THIS HAS to be THE SHIFT TODAY. IT'S GOT

  1239. TO GO FROM MIND TO HEART SAYING GOD, I

  1240. KNOW YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF ME AND I KNOW

  1241. GOD THAT YOU ARE ABLE. AND I'M GOING TO

  1242. ASK YOU A QUESTION in this house. Did

  1243. you know THAT YOUR SAVIOR JESUS TOOK THE

  1244. LIMITS OFF OF YOU TODAY? DID YOU KNOW

  1245. THAT he spoke OVER YOU A LONG TIME AGO?

  1246. I'M ABOUT TO READ HIS WORDS IN JOHN 14.

  1247. HE SAID, "MOST ASSUREDLY I SAY TO YOU,

  1248. HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE WORKS THAT I

  1249. DO HE WILL DO ALSO. AND GREATER WORKS

  1250. THAN THESE WILL HE DO BECAUSE I GO TO MY

  1251. FATHER." NOW WATCH WHAT JESUS SAID IN

  1252. VERSE 13. "AND WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY

  1253. NAME, THAT WILL I DO THAT MY FATHER MAY

  1254. BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON." THEN HE SAID

  1255. IN VERSE NUMBER 14 ONE MORE TIME. "IF

  1256. YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO

  1257. IT." COME ON SOMEBODY. HOW MANY BELIEVE

  1258. THE RED WRITING? DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT

  1259. JESUS SAID? DO YOU BELIEVE HE'S ABLE TO

  1260. DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL YOU

  1261. CAN ASK OR THINK? IF YOU GOT THAT NOTE

  1262. CARD IN YOUR HAND, I WANT YOU JUST TO

  1263. WAVE IT BEFORE THE LORD AND SAY GOD, I'M

  1264. BELIEVING YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT. I

  1265. BELIEVE YOU SAID YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE

  1266. CARE OF IT. AND IF YOU SAID YOU'LL TAKE

  1267. CARE OF IT, I KNOW YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF

  1268. IT FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. COME ON. AS FOR

  1269. ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.

  1270. SOMEBODY SHOUT AMEN.

  1271. He is

  1272. able.

  1273. LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR and say he is

  1274. able.

  1275. He's able today

  1276. to take the things that look impossible

  1277. in our eyes, and he's able to shift it

  1278. and make it possible right now.

  1279. Come on.

  1280. Cuz here's what I want you to

  1281. understand. And I will go ahead and get

  1282. our band up here, and you stay right

  1283. there. That'll be beautiful.

  1284. But I want you to understand. He said,

  1285. "If you ask

  1286. anything." Somebody shout "anything."

  1287. Yeah. And so, I'm going to go real deep

  1288. on you. You ready?

  1289. I'm going to go back to the Greek and

  1290. the Hebrew

  1291. and Aramaic and all these different

  1292. words.

  1293. I'll tell you.

  1294. Anything

  1295. means

  1296. anything.

  1297. I know you I this deep this morning,

  1298. y'all. I'm sorry. I wish I had all kinds

  1299. of like I could take you on

  1300. transliteration of scripture and all

  1301. that stuff, and I can do that sometimes,

  1302. but today it literally means anything

  1303. means anything. So, look at your

  1304. neighbor and say he means anything.

  1305. Oh, yeah. He means anything. And

  1306. somebody said somebody said, "Well,

  1307. Pastor, I'm not sure if God can do it."

  1308. Come on, somebody. I I read in the word

  1309. of God, I think it's some 1,500 plus

  1310. times in the word of God in the King

  1311. James version, the word if is used, but

  1312. it is never in the direction of God. It

  1313. is never in the direction if God can do

  1314. this, but it's in the direction of if

  1315. you want my promises, you will do X, Y,

  1316. and Z. Come on, somebody. Let me Let me

  1317. go ahead and lay it on you real quick

  1318. what it says. He said, "If you obey, if

  1319. you abide, if you believe, if my people

  1320. who are called by my name." Come on, we

  1321. can go on and on and on. That's the

  1322. direction of if is. But watch this.

  1323. These are one directional ifs where God

  1324. makes a promise and if we receive it, he

  1325. we will get the condition and it will be

  1326. met and we will receive the reward or

  1327. the blessing on the other side. This

  1328. word if may be a small word in the word

  1329. of God and it may be small in our

  1330. vocabulary. But if often stands as the

  1331. doorway between promise and fulfillment.

  1332. The the if in our life all usually

  1333. stands as a doorway or a sacred

  1334. threshold for us between the promise AND

  1335. FULFILLMENT THAT GOD HAS SPOKEN OVER our

  1336. life. So let's go ahead and fix this.

  1337. Our vocabulary should never include if

  1338. God is able. If God can make a way. If

  1339. God is in control. If Come on somebody.

  1340. If God can hear me. I want you to

  1341. understand our words carry weight this

  1342. morning and we grant access either to

  1343. God the Father to come and do something

  1344. INCREDIBLE OR WE GRANT ACCESS

  1345. TO the fear that comes with this life.

  1346. BECAUSE THE ACCESS WE GIVE determines

  1347. the degree of victory that you and I

  1348. WILL WALK IN THIS MORNING. BUT I GOT TO

  1349. GO BACK AND SAY I'M NOT GOING TO LET

  1350. THAT STUFF BE IN MY VOCABULARY. NO, NO,

  1351. NO, NO, NO, DEVIL. BECAUSE JESUS SAID IF

  1352. you ask anything in my name, I WILL DO

  1353. IT. HOW MANY BELIEVE THAT THE NAME OF

  1354. JESUS IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING THE

  1355. ENEMY can bring AGAINST OUR LIFE. IF YOU

  1356. BELIEVE HIS NAME IS MORE POWERFUL, I

  1357. DARE YOU RIGHT NOW TO PRAISE HIM FOR THE

  1358. FACT THAT EVERYTHING WE'RE BELIEVING FOR

  1359. [music] IS ABOUT TO come to pass. Every

  1360. report, EVERY COME ON. EVERY DOCTOR'S

  1361. REPORT, EVERY FINANCIAL REPORT, EVERY

  1362. BIT OF IT, I'M BRINGING IT TO HIM

  1363. SAYING, "GOD, YOU CAN DO [music] IT AND

  1364. YOU ARE ABLE." SOMEBODY GIVE HIM PRAISE

  1365. IN THE HOUSE.

  1366. I SAID SOMEBODY GIVE HIM PRAISE IN THE

  1367. HOUSE.

  1368. THAT'S ALL RIGHT FOR A BAPTIST [music]

  1369. CHURCH, BUT I'M LOOKING FOR A

  1370. spirit-filled church this morning.

  1371. SOMEBODY JUMP TO YOUR FEET [music] AND

  1372. GIVE GOD SOME RADICAL PRAISE AND SAY

  1373. GOD, I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I'M

  1374. PRAISING YOU NOW, BUT I BELIEVE ON THE

  1375. OTHER SIDE OF MY PRAISE, THERE'S GOING

  1376. TO BE A BREAKTHROUGH. THERE'S [music]

  1377. GOING TO BE A HEALING. THERE'S GOING TO

  1378. BE A DELIVERANCE THROUGH HIS POWER AND

  1379. THROUGH HIS GRACE. Somebody shout Jesus.

  1380. understanding this house

  1381. that the fact is

  1382. that Jesus is able to do the impossible.

  1383. And I believe the Holy Spirit has been

  1384. doing more than giving us information

  1385. today. I believe he's giving us a

  1386. revelation because revelation doesn't

  1387. just touch the mind, but it touches the

  1388. heart. A revelation that because of the

  1389. cross, because of the blood, we have

  1390. access to the living God. You don't have

  1391. to stand at a distance. You don't have

  1392. to wonder whether you're welcome or not.

  1393. You don't have to question whether God

  1394. will hear you or not. The veil has been

  1395. torn. The door has been opened. Access

  1396. has been granted. And today, I say to

  1397. you, you don't have to just ADMIRE THE

  1398. DOOR. I SAY COME ON, LET'S WALK through

  1399. the door together, church. Come on,

  1400. Liberty Culture. WE'RE ABOUT TO WALK

  1401. THROUGH THE DOOR OF THE IMPOSSIBLE.

  1402. WE'RE ABOUT TO WALK THROUGH THE DOOR

  1403. WHERE WE BELIEVE THAT GOD'S ABLE TO DO

  1404. IT. I REFUSE TO SETTLE KNOWING I HAVE

  1405. ACCESS AND NOT EMBRACE IT. I WILL LIVE

  1406. IT. I'LL PRAY LIKE IT'S TRUE. I'LL

  1407. WORSHIP LIKE IT'S TRUE. I'LL BELIEVE

  1408. LIKE IT'S TRUE. I'LL PRAISE LIKE IT'S

  1409. [music] TRUE because God is able.

  1410. WATCH THIS. FAITH doesn't measure God's

  1411. ability by the size of the obstacle.

  1412. Faith measures the obstacle by the

  1413. greatness of God. So, today I'm calling

  1414. you and I in this moment to ask not

  1415. timid prayers.

  1416. Come on, somebody. The time for timid

  1417. prayers is over. I'm about to preach up

  1418. in this house. I don't know where God's

  1419. about to take this thing, but I'm ready.

  1420. Is there anybody ready to go to church

  1421. with me for just a minute? Come on. I

  1422. feel this. Can I just Let's ahead and

  1423. preach it like I feel it? I'm holding in

  1424. my hand right now. I'll just go ahead

  1425. and tell you I'm holding the mortgage

  1426. note for this church and I'm believing

  1427. in the name of Jesus at some point

  1428. really, really soon whenever God desires

  1429. to do it that we're about to be able to

  1430. stand up here. I ain't going to hold it.

  1435. >> I believe that with all my heart. Come

  1436. on. I wish I had some folk that WOULD

  1437. BELIEVE WITH PASTOR TODAY AND BELIEVE

  1438. THAT GOD'S ABLE TO [music] TAKE IT AND

  1440. HONOR. I'M GOING TO HOLD IT UP. GOD, I'M

  1444. LIMITS OFF."

  1445. I SAY TAKE THE LIMITS OFF OF MY FAITH.

  1446. Take the limits off of my belief. I hold

  1447. on the other side of this a couple REAL

  1448. ESTATE TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HELD

  1449. UP AND THE ENEMY has been telling me,

  1450. whispering in my ear, "It'll never

  1451. happen." But I'm going to say this in

  1452. the name of Jesus, it's going to happen

  1453. and it's going to happen soon IN JESUS

  1454. NAME. I SPEAK IT BY THE POWER OF THE

  1455. HOLY SPIRIT. I stand with faith today,

  1456. not asking timid prayers or safe prayers

  1457. or convenient prayers, but I ask FOR

  1458. BOLD PRAYERS. I'M ASKING FOR IMPOSSIBLE

  1459. PRAYERS. I'M ASKING YOU TO PRAY

  1473. OH, come on now. Y'all better come on.

  1474. I'm preaching better than you're

  1475. shouting right now.

  1476. I'M PREACHING SO EVERY PRAYER YOU PUT

  1477. DOWN ON THAT PIECE OF [music] PAPER WILL

  1478. COME TO PASS IN JESUS NAME. CALL ME WHAT

  1479. YOU WANT TO CALL ME, BUT I SAY IT'S DONE

  1480. BY THE NAME OF JESUS. I CALL THOSE

  1481. THINGS [music] WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH

  1492. out Take the limits off.

  1493. I'll say it like you mean it. Say take

  1494. the limits off.

  1495. MATTER OF FACT, STAND TO YOUR FEET if

  1496. you physically can. ONE MORE TIME SAY

  1497. TAKE THE LIMITS OFF.

  1498. TAKE THE LIMITS OFF OF MY GOD.

  1499. Take the limits off of my mind. Take the

  1500. limits off of my unbelief. Take the

  1501. limits off of me right now and let me

  1502. see with clear eyes. Let me see with

  1503. faith eyes this morning that the enemy

  1504. said one thing, but I believe the word

  1505. OF GOD SAYS SOMETHING COMPLETELY

  1506. DIFFERENT. In Jesus name, somebody shout

  1507. amen.

  1508. Just remain standing.

  1509. I'm almost done.

  1510. The fact is

  1511. here's what I know.

  1512. If we're going to believe

  1513. Oh God.

  1514. >> [crying]

  1515. >> Thank you.

  1516. For I say to you that I am the God who

  1517. has no limits.

  1518. Trust me today and what you are

  1519. believing for I will do it, says the

  1520. Lord. Do not allow doubt. Do not allow

  1521. fear. Do not allow any kind of

  1522. discouragement to come to your ears or

  1523. your heart, but today believe my word,

  1524. receive my word, and walk through this

  1525. open door that my son paid for with his

  1526. blood. And I will do what you are asking

  1527. me to do today. praise me for it because

  1528. I'm God and I change not. Oh, come on

  1529. somebody, can't we praise him? Come on,

  1530. I feel that in my spirit. Oh, I feel

  1531. that in my spirit. Hallelujah. Oh, come

  1532. on AND PRAISE HIM ALL OVER THE HOUSE.

  1533. PRAISE HIM. Praise him.

  1534. Hallelujah.

  1535. Come on, can we raise our hand and just

  1536. give him glory? Just for a moment.

  1537. Hey, hallelujah. Hallelujah to the lamb

  1538. of God. You are good. You are good. You

  1539. are good. Come on, open your mouth and

  1540. begin to open your mouth and praise him.

  1541. Come on. Give him glory. He said the

  1542. fruit of your lips that brings praise to

  1543. him. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  1544. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  1545. Father, we bless you today. We praise

  1546. you today. God, we take the limits off

  1547. of our faith believing that you are

  1548. able.

  1549. Hallelujah.

  1550. Bold

  1551. prayers.

  1552. Impossible

  1553. prayers.

  1554. >> [snorts]

  1555. >> Unreasonable prayers.

  1556. Unreasonable.

  1557. Miracle-sized

  1558. prayers.

  1559. Watch this because if your prayer

  1560. doesn't require God to move,

  1561. it's probably not stretching your faith.

  1562. And everything that we do in this life

  1563. is to stretch our faith to believe God.

  1564. You say, "Well, pastor, I don't believe.

  1565. I don't I don't understand,

  1566. you know, giving and tithing and the

  1567. principle of the word of God when it

  1568. comes to that." Can I tell you it's

  1569. about your faith?

  1570. Cuz it takes faith

  1571. to say yes.

  1572. It takes faith

  1573. to write a check, old school, or to hit

  1574. the button on the church center. It

  1575. takes faith to do that.

  1576. It takes faith to believe that God's

  1577. going to take care of you on the other

  1578. side.

  1579. >> [snorts]

  1580. >> It takes faith to believe whenever your

  1581. loved one's in the hospital and you

  1582. don't know how it's going to turn out to

  1583. say, "God, I trust you."

  1584. But it's in that moment of increased

  1585. faith

  1586. that God is strengthening you and

  1587. expanding you and he's saying, "I've got

  1588. something great on the other side that

  1589. if you stay right where you're at with

  1590. your faith, you will not have the

  1591. ability or the capacity to handle what

  1592. I'm about to do in your life. So, that's

  1593. why I'm saying over this house, over

  1594. Liberty Culture, God is asking us to

  1595. take the limits off of him today."

  1596. He's saying, "I've got something for you

  1597. in the next season,

  1598. but if you keep the same limits that

  1599. you've kept on your mind for years and

  1600. decades, you will not be able to embrace

  1601. what God's about to do."

  1602. But I speak over this house today and I

  1603. say, "We're going to take the limits off

  1604. in the name of Jesus." Come on, anybody

  1605. with caster say, "I'm ready to take the

  1606. limits off."

  1607. Oh my God, I feel that. I feel him in

  1608. the room today.

  1609. I feel him in the room today cuz when we

  1610. take the limits off of him,

  1611. that's when our faith shifts from

  1612. "I've [snorts] I've not seen faith like

  1613. this in all Israel" to great faith.

  1614. Great

  1615. faith.

  1616. Cuz the beautiful thing is Jesus said it

  1617. like this. He said, "Ask

  1618. and it will be given to you.

  1619. Seek

  1620. and you will find.

  1621. Knock

  1622. and it will be

  1623. opened

  1624. to you."

  1625. Can I tell you that's not my opinion?

  1626. Those are the words of my savior.

  1627. I hold it in my hand again, because I

  1628. know

  1629. I know

  1630. God can do it.

  1631. I know God can do it by the end of the

  1632. day.

  1633. Come on.

  1634. Come on. I I

  1635. My faith is already there.

  1636. And I'mma tell you

  1637. if God can do it here

  1638. God can do it in my family.

  1639. God can do it in your life.

  1640. And God can do it in this house.

  1641. Cuz here's what I know.

  1642. We've got a great big assignment from

  1643. the Lord.

  1644. And I know he's able to do things that

  1645. we cannot do.

  1646. But

  1647. at the risk of being labeled

  1648. a word of faith person

  1649. and and and and being labeled somebody

  1650. the blab it grab it

  1651. whatever. I don't know that statement,

  1652. but anyways, I I've heard that before

  1653. when it comes to word of faith that it's

  1654. just like God give me this yacht, give

  1655. me this plane, whatever. I I get all

  1656. that. Whatever. That's between them and

  1657. the Lord.

  1658. But today, I'm linking my faith up with

  1659. a heavenly father

  1660. who owns the cattle on a thousand hill.

  1661. His supply is endless.

  1662. And can I tell you what you and I have

  1663. need of is a drop in the bucket compared

  1664. to all that God has.

  1665. So I say, "Lord, find me faithful

  1666. in what you've already given me

  1667. so I can believe for the next season.

  1668. Find me faithful IN WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY

  1669. GIVEN ME, SO GOD, I CAN RECEIVE what you

  1670. have for me in the next season."

  1671. So I say, "It's nothing for my God to

  1672. pay off our mortgage."

  1673. Just being transparent with you

  1674. because I got to let you know that I

  1675. believe God can do it.

  1676. And my faith is, watch this, I declare

  1677. he's going to pay our mortgage off in

  1678. Jesus' name.

  1679. I declare that with everything in me.

  1680. I know he's going to do it. I already

  1681. know it.

  1682. I'm just Just give me a burn bucket

  1683. ready. I'm ready. I'm ready to burn this

  1684. sucker.

  1685. Ready to burn it and stomp on it and

  1686. send it back in an envelope, ashes. They

  1687. can have it back.

  1688. It'd be great.

  1689. Cuz here's what I know.

  1690. The pressure to reach this community and

  1691. reach this world

  1692. is immense because the enemy is ramping

  1693. up his attack in these last days.

  1694. And And we can't just go

  1695. on our own ability, our own thoughts,

  1696. our own

  1697. energy.

  1698. We have to have the power of the Holy

  1699. Spirit.

  1700. But to have power, we got to have faith.

  1701. And we got to believe for the

  1702. impossible. We got to literally take the

  1703. limits off of our God.

  1704. And know

  1705. it And here's the thing. Need to know,

  1706. whatever you're believing for, there's

  1707. something in your flesh that's going to

  1708. say, "It can't be done."

  1709. Check with me.

  1710. Cuz this is our humanity side. It's

  1711. going to say, "That looks impossible."

  1712. Yeah, you're right.

  1713. And that's a good place to be in.

  1714. Because when it's impossible for you and

  1715. it gets done, you can't take credit for

  1716. it.

  1717. Come on.

  1718. And here's what I know. When it's

  1719. impossible,

  1720. I know I don't want to take credit for

  1721. it. I want God to receive the glory from

  1722. it.

  1723. And so today, I stand here

  1724. and I let you know that whatever you

  1725. wrote down on that piece of paper,

  1726. I have faith that God's about to do it

  1727. for you and your family.

  1728. How many say, "Pastor, I got faith that

  1729. God's going to do it for me and my

  1730. family, too."

  1731. Come on. Come on. Can we just raise

  1732. those hands and just thank the Lord?

  1733. Come on. Can we just thank him? Come on.

  1734. Thank you for his goodness. Thank you

  1735. for his mercy. God, we take the limits

  1736. off right now. We take the limits off

  1737. right now. Lord, every part of our life,

  1738. God, we take the limits off and I

  1739. declare over Liberty Culture Church,

  1740. God, that we are stepping into a new

  1741. season where God's people stop living

  1742. beneath the access that they've been

  1743. given and start walking in the authority

  1744. that they've that's been purchased by by

  1745. the blood of Jesus for us to possess. I

  1746. believe we're about to hear testimonies

  1747. we've never heard before, miracles,

  1748. breakthroughs, healing, salvation,

  1749. deliverance, financial provision,

  1750. families restored, dreams resurrected,

  1751. the impossible becoming possible. I

  1752. believe the testimonies are going to

  1753. pour in not because we discovered a new

  1754. formula, but because we finally believe

  1755. we have access TO A LIMITLESS GOD in

  1756. this house.

  1757. >> [snorts]

  1758. >> So, God,

  1759. we come boldly to the throne of grace.

  1760. We come with confidence.

  1761. God, we come with expectation.

  1762. We come believing.

  1763. Because our God is still limitless. Your

  1764. power is still limitless, Father.

  1765. Your mercy is still limitless. Your

  1766. grace is still limitless. Your love is

  1767. still limitless.

  1768. >> [snorts]

  1769. >> And if our God is limitless,

  1770. then let's take the limits off of our

  1771. faith [music] this morning, church.

  1772. All over this house, every head bowed,

  1773. every eye closed. If you're in this

  1774. house today and you don't know Jesus as

  1775. your savior, can I tell you that he is a

  1776. limitless God and his love for you was

  1777. demonstrated on a cross that he

  1778. literally gave everything for you. He

  1779. took the limits off to be able to buy

  1780. you back, to purchase you from the gates

  1781. of hell and the grips of hell. And

  1782. today, you can walk out of here saying,

  1783. "I may not have come in a relationship

  1784. with this God, but today I see what

  1785. Jesus did for me and I want to walk in

  1786. that. I want this brand new life." 2

    2 Corinthians 5:17

  1787. Corinthians 5:17 says, "For if anyone's

  1788. in Christ, he's a new creation. Old

  1789. things have passed away. Behold, all

  1790. things have become brand new. Today, you

  1791. sir, you ma'am, can be brand new by the

  1792. precious blood of Jesus that he shed on

  1793. the cross. All you have to do is commit

  1794. yourself to him. Give it all to him

  1795. today and he will be your savior and

  1796. your Lord.

  1797. So, if you're all in this house with

  1798. every head bowed, every eye closed, if

  1799. you're in here and you say, "I need to

  1800. give my life to the Lord. I need to I

  1801. need to repent."

  1802. I need to repent of the way I was living

  1803. cuz it's not working. But today, I got

  1804. to make a commitment to Christ. And I

  1805. want you to say, "Pastor, just slip that

  1806. hand up and say, 'Pastor, when you pray,

  1807. pray for me today cuz I want to make

  1808. sure that my heart's right with the

  1809. Lord.'" Anybody in the house? Anybody in

  1810. the house needs to make things right.

  1811. Come on. I'll give you 5 seconds. 5 4

  1812. seconds. 3 seconds. 2 seconds. Anybody

  1813. else? Today's your day. Today's your

  1814. Sunday. Hallelujah. 1 second.

  1815. Hallelujah. Anybody else? Thank you,

  1816. Lord. Thank you, Lord, for those that

  1817. raised their hand today.

  1818. And today, here's what I believe.

  1819. I believe that today is going to be the

  1820. greatest day of your life.

  1821. Your birthday was significant and I'm

  1822. glad you were born.

  1823. But now is your born-again birthday.

  1824. Come on. We are made brand new by the

  1825. blood of Jesus. If you raised your hand

  1826. and you say, "I really mean business and

  1827. I want to make sure my life is right

  1828. with the Lord." Today, we're going to

  1829. make that commitment. So, if you raised

  1830. your hand, I want you to step out from

  1831. where you are and I want you to come

  1832. meet me right here. Real quick. Anybody

  1833. that raised their hand, come on. Be

  1834. brave. Be brave. Nobody You won't come

  1835. by yourself. You won't come by yourself.

  1836. I know God's going to be with you. I

  1837. I'll wait just a few more seconds.

  1838. Not here to embarrass you. Welcome to

  1839. the family. Welcome to the family.

  1840. Welcome to the family.

  1841. Come on. Come on.

  1842. I believe we're going to clap. They'll

  1843. come on. They'll come on.

  1844. Hallelujah.

  1845. So, here's what I'm going to believe

  1846. right here.

  1847. You have that note card.

  1848. Maybe you can slip in with the rest of

  1849. the crowd, and that's perfect. That's

  1850. fine.

  1851. Here's what I'm going to tell you. If

  1852. you got that note card and you wrote

  1853. down something you're believing the Lord

  1854. for,

  1855. I'm going to ask you to give me like 5

  1856. more minutes of your time, and then I'm

  1857. going to let you go.

  1858. I'm going to dismiss you, but I'm going

  1859. to ask you to take that card. If you

  1860. physically can, I want you to clutch it

  1861. to your chest, and I want you to come

  1862. and meet me at this altar with what

  1863. you're believing God for. Can we do

  1864. that?

  1865. >> [clears throat]

  1866. >> And and praise team, y'all go ahead and

  1867. get ready with something that we can

  1868. lift up to the Lord right now.

  1869. Cuz as you come,

  1870. when you get down to this altar,

  1871. I want you to take that

  1872. that that you're believing God for

  1873. >> [music]

  1874. >> as it's clutched to your chest.

  1875. Want you to keep it tight to your heart,

  1876. cuz this is what we're asking God to do.

  1877. It's what we're believing God to do.

  1878. And as we believe God to do it, we can't

  1879. do it

  1880. saying, "Oh, I don't know if God can do

  1881. it." The best way we can let our spirit

  1882. know and let our flesh know where our

  1883. faith stands is we're going to praise

  1884. him right in the middle of it. We may

  1885. not understand why we're asking for what

  1886. we're asking for.

  1887. >> [music]

  1888. >> We may honestly our flesh may not really

  1889. believe what we're confessing, but if

  1890. you'll praise him, your spirit man is

  1891. going to line up, and your flesh is

  1892. going to have to submit. So, take that,

  1893. put it on your chest, and take that

  1894. other hand if you will, and raise it to

  1895. heaven, and I want us to praise [music]

  1896. God that the fact that we believe we're

  1897. taking the limits off right now through

  1898. our praise, through our confession. God,

  1899. what [music] we are asking you to do,

  1900. God, absolutely is impossible in man's

  1901. eyes.

  1904. with all of our heart, all of our soul,

  1905. and all of our mind is what we have

  1906. written down, God. We believe you're

  1907. going to do it. You are the limitless

  1908. God, and today we take the limits off.

  1909. God, [music] we give you our whole

  1910. heart. We give you our whole mind, our

  1911. whole strength, everything that we have.

  1912. We lay it at your feet, and as we

  1913. [music] clutch it to our chest, God, we

  1914. believe that there's nothing too hard

  1915. for you. God, you can pay a [music]

  1916. mortgage off. You can take care of a

  1917. health report. You can take care of

  1918. financial issues. You can take care of a

  1919. home that's [music] broken. You can take

  1920. care of sickness. You can take care of a

  1921. business, God. You can work it out where

  1922. it seems to be impossible. So, we bring

  1923. it [music] to you. And God, through our

  1924. faith in you, we call it done. Through

  1925. your power and through your presence,

  1926. God, do your work. [music] Do your work,

  1927. God. Move by your power and move by your

  1928. presence. So, Father, we [music] exalt

  1929. you. We praise you. We magnify you.
