-
If you got your Bible, stand to your
-
feet all over the house.
-
As you were coming in today, you should
-
have received
-
a little index card, [music] possibly a
-
pen.
-
If you did not have one already,
-
but if you did not receive a index card
-
when you came in,
-
now would be the time to maybe raise
-
your hand and indicate, "Hey Pastor, I
-
did not get one of those." Amen. We've
-
got a few that did not get them. So, if
-
if you didn't just slip your hand up and
-
our ushers will take care of that and
-
they'll make sure everybody gets one.
-
Cuz I even if you don't have one, let me
-
give you instructions so when you do
-
have one, you'll know where we're going
-
with this.
-
My heart is based off the message the
-
Lord gave me and the assignment he gave
-
me today
-
is to take that index card,
-
take a pen, and what I want you to do is
-
either now, during the message, or
-
somewhere in this moment that we're in
-
right now, [music] I want you to take
-
that index card and I want you to write
-
down what you are believing the Lord to
-
do in your life. And now, let me caveat,
-
this is not some magical rub the rub the
-
lamp and have the genie come out. Come
-
on, somebody. I'm not talking about
-
that, but I'm I'm asking you to join
-
your faith in this moment and say,
-
"Pastor, I've received a bad report from
-
the enemy. Come on, I've received a bad
-
doctor's report and I'm believing for
-
God to bring healing." How many know
-
that God's able to touch and he's able
-
to move? All right. So, I've got some
-
work to do cuz we've got some a little
-
bit of faith in the room, but I want to
-
get a lot of bit of faith in the room
-
for where we're going because we're not
-
just trans- we're just not treading into
-
waters that we stepped into before. But
-
today, I believe that before we leave
-
this house, we're literally going to rip
-
the lid off of this thing and we're
-
going to see God do supernatural things.
-
I believe that we serve a supernatural
-
God.
-
All right. I going to try that one more
-
time. I got Thank you, Big John. Thank
-
you, couple others. I believe we serve a
-
supernatural God.
-
All right.
-
And here's the thing, if we serve a
-
supernatural [music]
-
God, then we've got to put our money
-
where our mouth is. Come on. And we've
-
got to link our faith with who he really
-
is in our life, and that's what that
-
card is. It is a visible, tangible thing
-
you can hold in your hand to where
-
you're putting down what you're
-
believing God to do in your heart, in
-
your life, in your mind, in your family,
-
in your finances. Come on. In your
-
career, in your business. There's all
-
kinds of areas this can touch. I don't I
-
can't exhaust the entire list, but you
-
know what you're believing God to do.
-
And today, we're going to put our faith
-
on that paper, and we're going to say,
-
"God, we're going to believe you're
-
going to do it." Amen. So, if you're
-
with me, shout glory.
-
All right. If you have that, you can
-
take your liberty as you feel that
-
prompt in your spirit to write that
-
down. Uh but really, it is going to be
-
the thing that looks impossible to you.
-
I want you to write it down, and I want
-
you to know that it's not impossible
-
with our God.
-
Scripture says this in Matthew. Said,
-
"With with men, it's impossible, but
-
with God, all things are possible." So,
-
we link our faith with that today. Uh
-
so, I want to go to the book of John,
-
the book of John this morning.
-
And I will be I will be holding some of
-
my own things I'm believing for in my
-
hand as I preach today. You say, "Wow,
-
that's an exhaustive piece of paper
-
there." You're doggone right it is,
-
because I believe I serve a big God.
-
And so, I've got multiple layers to my
-
belief. Some can be held in my hand,
-
some are held in my heart, but what I
-
know is this is I know that as I preach
-
today, that the Lord's going to unlock
-
some things, and we're going to see God
-
do something incredible. Amen.
-
John chapter number [music] 21.
-
Literally, quite literally, go to the
-
last verse of this great book.
-
And when you get there, say, "I got it."
-
All right.
-
If you If you didn't, I'll count to
-
three, and then it'll be on the screen
-
for you. 1
-
2
-
3. Amen. John chapter 21, verse number
John 21 chapter mention
-
25. I want you to see it for yourself in
-
the word if you've got it there.
-
This is a beautiful
-
closure to a amazing book that if I have
-
somebody who has recently gotten saved
-
and recently come to know the Lord, and
-
they want to know, "Where do I start?" I
-
usually point them back to the book of
-
John. Uh because he's very relational,
-
but he's very truthful, and he breaks it
-
down simply. It's where we get the
-
scripture John 3:16, "For God so loved
-
the world," right? And so, the
-
simplicity of the gospel, he breaks it
-
down, but one of the most complex verses
-
that I've ever read read before and
-
creates tension in our hearts because
-
when we see this, uh it all all
-
automatically puts us in a spot where
-
our mind begins to think about all the
-
great things that Jesus did when he
-
walked this earth.
-
But, these are things we have record of.
-
So, John wanted us to know, you think
-
you know how great Jesus is,
-
but you really don't know how great
-
Jesus is.
-
John 21:25, when you get there, say, "I
-
got it."
-
And there are also many other things
-
that Jesus did.
-
Woo! Come on, somebody.
-
Which if they were written one by one, I
-
suppose I think John was Southern. Can I
-
get an amen?
-
I suppose that not even the world itself
-
could not contain the books
-
shoo
-
that would be written.
-
My God.
-
I suppose that not even the world itself
-
it could not contain the books.
-
Woo, sorry.
-
My eyes are tearing up. I can't even
-
read.
-
That would be written.
-
And he ended it like this, amen. Can
-
somebody shout amen?
-
So, I feel this in my spirit today, this
-
assignment that the Lord gave me for
-
this house
-
and for those that would listen to this
-
crazy preacher preach today as I preach
-
it within hand, the things that I'm
-
believing God to do not only in my
-
personal life, but things that I'm
-
believing God to do in this house. But,
-
I simply give us this charge. Are you
-
ready? Take the limits off. Look at your
-
neighbor say, "Take the limits off."
-
I You You said it and you said it
-
Presbyterian or Baptist style or dead
-
Pentecostal style, but I want you to say
-
alive Pentecostal style. Look at them
-
and say, "Take the limits off."
-
Will you pray with me? Father, I thank
-
you for your word that is forever
-
settled in heaven. And God, we thank you
-
that you allowed John to give us this
-
clear insight into the fact that God,
-
you did great things on this earth, but
-
Lord, the things that we have record of,
-
God, are powerful and great, but Lord,
-
the things that we didn't even know. And
-
Lord, I'll declare the things you are
-
still writing right now in this room.
-
Lord, we can only hope to know only the
-
tip of the iceberg of how powerful you
-
are. Now God, move in this place. Touch
-
every heart. Let our faith increase
-
today and we'll give you praise. In
-
Jesus' name we pray and everybody says,
-
"Amen." Amen, you may be seated in the
-
presence of the Lord today.
-
Take the limits
-
off.
-
I want you to understand as I begin
-
preaching this message this morning that
-
I'm not just preaching simply to make
-
you feel good or to give you a
-
uh a a cheerleader message or to make
-
you feel really great about how great
-
your God is. I hope you already feel
-
that way in this house. Can I get a
-
witness?
-
Uh, so I'm going to ask you, how many
-
really feel you serve a great big
-
awesome God today? Come on. Uh, before
-
we get into the into the pumping and
-
priming and the craziness of the
-
message, I want you to understand you
-
really do serve an amazing God. You
-
serve a powerful God. You serve a God
-
who is without limit. But I want you to
-
understand I'm not just preaching this
-
morning for a change of mind, but I'm
-
also preaching for a change of heart.
-
Because it is one thing for me to
-
convince you that knowledge is powerful
-
and it is great and that our mind can
-
understand and comprehend how great our
-
God is and that's one thing for me to
-
let you walk out of here saying, "Woo,
-
man, my mind is changed. I thought God
-
was one way, but now he's another way."
-
I want it to go deeper than just your
-
mind today.
-
Cuz the fact is we can all read
-
something and say, "Ooh, that was a
-
great miracle." And our mind knows that
-
God can do that. But it's one thing for
-
us to know in our mind that God can do
-
miracles, but it's another thing for us
-
to be convinced in our heart that God
-
will do miracles.
-
Come on. It It The mind works in what I
-
have seen, but the heart deals in what I
-
have not seen yet. That lets me know
-
that the impossible thing that I see in
-
front of me right now, if my heart is
-
not convinced and I'm not convicted that
-
he is able to do exceedingly abundantly
-
above all that I can think or ask, then
-
there's somewhere between my mind and my
-
heart that there's been a disconnect.
-
But I'm asking the Holy Spirit today to
-
give me the words and give me the
-
anointing to take you on a journey, not
-
just so your mind can be convinced that
-
yes, our savior did great miracles on
-
this earth, but I want you to know that
-
he is not finished with you yet. He is
-
not done with your family and it's not
-
over. The season of miracles is not
-
ceased because Jesus was in the is in
-
heaven. I want to tell you the miracles
-
that he did back then, he still can do
-
today. The miracles he did FOR US LAST
-
WEEK, HE CAN STILL do today. I want TO
-
KNOW IS ANYBODY'S MIND CONVINCED, BUT IS
-
ANYBODY'S HEART CONVINCED TODAY THAT OUR
-
GOD IS ABLE TO DO IT ALL? COME ON. 1 2 3
-
GIVE HIM PRAISE if you believe it today.
-
>> [applause]
-
>> Because the word of God says that he is
-
the same yesterday, today, and
-
forevermore. Which means if he did all
-
these miracles that we see listed in the
-
Gospels, then we have to know if he did
-
it then, he can do it today.
-
My mind is convinced because I see it on
-
pages. Because I believe the word of God
-
is infallible. I believe the word of God
-
is forever true. But the beauty of it is
-
it is is more than just a a head
-
knowledge for me. It is a heart
-
knowledge because I've not only seen
-
record of it, but I have lived it where
-
he's done the impossible in my life.
-
So you might want to testify to your
-
neighbor beside you cuz they may not be
-
convinced. Look at them and say, "I know
-
it because he's done it for me." Come
-
on, tell them. "I know it because he has
-
done it for me."
-
I want you to understand that there is
-
something we have to deal with today,
-
and that is access.
-
Access is something that most people
-
don't uh don't qualify when they talk
-
about a limitless God or a God who is
-
able to do the impossible.
-
Because simply the definition of access
-
is the right of someone in a lower
-
position to approach someone of a
-
greater authority, enter their presence,
-
present their need, and be heard by that
-
person of greater authority.
-
I want you to understand that we have to
-
go back to the Old Testament to
-
understand truly the access that God was
-
talking about biblically because you can
-
see it now. You don't just walk into the
-
Oval Office and greet the President of
-
the United States, no matter who they
-
are, because there's security protocols,
-
there's fail-safe set up to be able to
-
protect him and his cabinet and the
-
people that work in the White House. We
-
don't want just crazy people walking up
-
in there. Can I get a witness?
-
And the fact is, even in the Old
-
Testament, there were access issues, and
-
it was severely restricted and
-
restrained to get into the manifest
-
presence of God. Because if you go back
-
in the Old Testament tabernacle, the way
-
it was set up, you had the outer court,
-
the inner court, and the most holy
-
place. And the most holy place is the
-
place that represented God's manifest
-
presence. We called it the holy of
-
holies, or the most holy place. And
-
watch this, it was severely restricted
-
and restrained from the normal person
-
getting in. Only the high priest had
-
access to the holy place. Watch this,
-
not only was it limited to one person,
-
but that one person could only go in one
-
time per year, and even that one time
-
per year, they could only go in after
-
they offered the proper sacrifices and
-
prepared theirself completely. It wasn't
-
just the high priest could walk in any
-
day he wanted to. It was only on the day
-
of atonement that he was able to walk in
-
and be able to present himself and the
-
needs of the children of Israel. It was
-
an absolute restricted case, because in
-
the Old Testament, it was based off a
-
sacrificial protocol. The veil, watch
-
this, that separated the holy place from
-
the most holy place, is a natural
-
separation, meaning there was limited
-
access, and only certain people could
-
get beyond that. Now, let me let me just
-
put a caveat in here, because I can feel
-
some people saying, "Well, our God seems
-
restrictive, and our God seems like he
-
doesn't have power or authority." Let me
-
say this, access was limited, but God
-
was not limited. Can I get a amen?
-
All right. I got about 12 people that
-
are with me. Access might have been
-
limited, but God was not limited. Now,
-
we can learn some lessons from this
-
access that still applies today. Some
-
people say, "What is God far off and
-
distant?" No, hang with me. I'm going to
-
talk to you for a moment about this.
-
What can we learn from the Old Testament
-
model and I think we need to bring back
-
in the church today. Number one, our God
-
is a holy God.
-
Come on, somebody. Watch this. I I know
-
we like to think he's my homeboy, he's
-
my buddy. No, he ain't none of that. He
-
is a holy God. He is a righteous God. He
-
is a God who sits high and looks low. He
-
sits on the throne. We do not sit on the
-
throne. He will not abdicate it. He will
-
not relinquish it. He is the king of the
-
universe and he should be treated as
-
such. That means we do not approach God
-
any way we want to. Can I get a witness
-
in the house? He is a holy God. He is a
-
God who is most powerful and he cannot
-
be approached casually. That is that
-
puts us back to what David instructed us
-
that when we come into his presence, we
-
do not come in with grumbling and
-
complaining, but we enter his gates with
-
Thanksgiving and we enter his courts
-
with praise. He is good and he is a
-
great God. So, at the beginning of this
-
message, you say, "I know the Old
-
Testament had some access issues, but I
-
know the New Testament is free course
-
and we can step into his presence." Can
-
I tell you how DO WE GET IN? PASTOR, WE
-
GET IN BY THIS ONE WAY, BY OUR PRAISE
-
and our Thanksgiving. SO, I WISH WE
-
WOULD TAKE ABOUT 10 seconds at the
-
beginning of the message and can we let
-
a praise out IN THIS HOUSE TELLING HIM,
-
"I RECOGNIZE YOU'RE HOLY. I RECOGNIZE
-
YOU'RE POWERFUL AND I WANT EVERYTHING
-
THAT YOU HAVE FOR MY LIFE." ONE, TWO,
-
THREE, GIVE HIM AN ACCESS praise in the
-
house.
-
He is holy. He is powerful.
-
And God is not to be approached
-
casually.
-
Cuz watch this, in the Old Testament, if
-
you did that, you died.
-
Like dead.
-
They would even attach a rope around the
-
high priest's ankle just in case he
-
walked in there and did not follow the
-
proper protocol and he died in the
-
presence of the Lord.
-
I know everybody's like, "Well, I don't
-
know if I want to go in his presence
-
now."
-
Oh my gosh. Listen, that was Old
-
Testament.
-
But then there came a shift. Woo! Look
-
at your neighbor say, "The shift." Oh
-
yeah, this is going to be the fun part.
-
We preach about death and all that stuff
-
and spiritually you can die if you
-
approach any way you want to. Let me
-
tell you something, we don't tell God
-
what to do. He's not a genie in a
-
bottle. He's none of those things. He is
-
our heavenly Father that has every good
-
thing that he desires to give to us. And
-
watch this, he delights to give good
-
gifts to his children. So, why would we
-
ever think that we as the children of
-
God have to sit on the outskirts and
-
say, "God, do you even see me? Do you
-
even see what I'm having to face? Do you
-
even understand what I'm going through?"
-
Let me tell you, he sees you, he
-
understands, and watch this, he's got a
-
blessing coming your way if we will be
-
willing to take the limits off this
-
MORNING AND SAY, "GOD, DO IN ME WHAT
-
ONLY you can do."
-
There came a shift and the shift was
-
called the new covenant.
-
The way to God's presence is now open
-
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Through
-
the victory that he won on the cross,
-
when Jesus declared these powerful
-
words, "It is accomplished" or "It is
-
finished." He satisfied every past,
-
every present, and every future required
-
sacrifice with what he did on that
-
cross, granting you and I continuous
-
access to the Father through the blood
-
of Jesus Christ. Cuz I want you to
-
understand the veil that separated the
-
holy place from the most holy place,
-
quite literally was ripped from top to
-
bottom when he declared those words, "It
-
is accomplished." And that lets me know
-
before the veil, when it when the veil
-
was intact, there was limited access.
-
But after the veil was torn from top to
-
bottom, representing the flesh that
-
would terrify and and reduce and limit
-
our access into the holiness of God. Can
-
I tell you whenever that veil was torn,
-
that meant it was limited access before,
-
but right now it's unlimited access
-
through the power OF ALMIGHTY GOD. NOW
-
no longer is it reserved to a priesthood
-
or to one person, but it is given to
-
every person WHO PLACES THEIR FAITH IN
-
JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. IS THERE
-
ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE WHO WOULD SAY, "I
-
HAVE PLACED my faith in THE SON OF GOD?"
-
AND I WANT TO TELL YOU IF YOU HAVE,
-
YOU'VE GOT TOTAL ACCESS, unlimited
-
access to the King today to present your
-
need before the Lord.
-
The fact is every person who places
-
their faith in Christ now has unlimited
-
access to Christ because Ephesians 2:18
-
says, "For through him we both have
-
access by one spirit to the Father."
-
Jesus came to reconcile his creation's
-
access back to the Father. Why did he
-
come to this earth? Because there was a
-
disconnect in our relationship, and the
-
only way that it will be brought back
-
around where we have total access is
-
through the sacrifice of Christ on the
-
cross.
-
And we have access by that one spirit to
-
the Father this morning. 1 Timothy 2:8
-
says, "For there is one God and one
-
mediator between God and man, and that
-
is the man Christ Jesus." Christ is our
-
mediator. He is our introducer. He is
-
our access point. He stood and still
-
stands today between sinful man and a
-
holy God. And the And watch this. He is
-
bringing us nearer through the blood of
-
Jesus Christ. Because Ephesians 2:13
-
says, "But now in Christ Jesus, you who
-
were afar off have been brought near by
-
the blood of Jesus Christ." We are
-
brought near not because we are worthy,
-
but only because his blood is powerful
-
enough to bring us to him. Come on. I
-
still believe in the power of the blood
-
of Jesus today. Do I have any saints in
-
the house that are thankful for the
-
blood? I Do I have any believers in the
-
house that are thankful for the blood of
-
Jesus? Because the blood is enough to
-
save YOU. THE BLOOD IS ENOUGH TO HEAL
-
YOU. THE BLOOD IS enough to deliver you.
-
The blood is enough to restore you. The
-
blood is enough to bless you. The blood
-
is enough to protect you. The blood is
-
enough to keep you when you're running
-
the other way. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
-
BUT I GET A LITTLE BIT EXCITED BECAUSE
-
I'M THANKFUL THAT A SAVIOR CAME AND
-
SAID, "I'VE GOT WHAT YOU NEED, AND IT'S
-
THE BLOOD OF JESUS." I DARE SOMEBODY
-
RIGHT NOW TO GIVE JESUS PRAISE FOR HIS
-
BLOOD. I DARE YOU TO JUMP TO YOUR FEET
-
AND GIVE HIM PRAISE FOR THE BLOOD.
-
BECAUSE WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD,
-
THERE WOULD BE NO REMISSION OF SIN. BUT
-
THANKS BE TO GOD TODAY, HIS BLOOD COVERS
-
A MULTITUDE OF SINS. 1 2 3 GIVE HIM
-
PRAISE FOR the blood.
-
Now, go old school with me right here,
-
and somebody shout, "I plead the blood."
-
You say, "How do I pray for my family?"
-
There you go. Pray for your family like
-
that. Say, "I plead the blood."
-
You say, "Pastor, my teenager's RUNNING
-
AWAY FROM GOD." I plead the blood over
-
their mind right now.
-
Come on, somebody. "Pastor, I got a bad
-
doctor's report last week, and I don't
-
know what I'm I'm to do." You say, "I
-
plead the blood of Jesus over it. I
-
don't have any other defense. It's a
-
court case pleading right there. I HAVE
-
NO OTHER DEFENSE. I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO
-
COME AGAINST the enemy except through
-
the blood OF JESUS CHRIST. I DON'T PLEAD
-
MY KNOWLEDGE. I DON'T PLEAD MY ABILITY.
-
I DON'T PLEAD MY GIFTING. I DON'T PLEAD
-
WHAT I CAN OR CANNOT DO IN THE PHYSICAL.
-
BUT THE ONE THING I CAN DO IS I CAN
-
STAND BEFORE ETERNITY AND SAY, I DON'T
-
HAVE THE ANSWER, BUT I PLEAD THE BLOOD
-
OF ONE WHO TOOK CARE OF IT ON THE CROSS.
-
I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF ONE WHO CAN REDUCE
-
EVERYTHING I'M FACING DOWN TO VICTORY IN
-
MY LIFE.
-
Somebody holler, I plead the blood.
-
Cuz the fact is, we must recognize how
-
powerful,
-
but also how precious the blood is.
-
The truth is today, Ephesians 3:12. And
-
I know we're going on a trip through
-
Ephesians right now, but I want you to
-
see what Paul wrote down. He said this
-
in 3:12, "In whom we have boldness and
-
access with confidence through faith in
-
him." Somebody holler, faith.
-
Ooh, come on. Faith will put you in a
-
place that you will go from being timid
-
to bold just like that.
-
You know what it feels like whenever
-
you're in a moment where everything
-
feels like it's caving in around, you
-
don't have no answers, but then all of a
-
sudden you feel faith rise up in you,
-
and the things you were saying before
-
end up being a place that you say, "I'll
-
never say that again." And you walk out
-
in boldness and say, "I'm going to
-
confess this before the Lord, and I'm
-
going to declare that I will be well in
-
Jesus' name."
-
You begin to go from a place of
-
timidness to boldness. And I want to
-
instruct you today. The fact is that you
-
have the ability through faith in God to
-
be able to look at your situation as a
-
child of God who has all power and
-
access to the King of kings, and look at
-
that situation and say, "I know it looks
-
like this in the natural." And let me be
-
honest with you. There are things THAT I
-
HOLD IN MY HAND that look impossible IN
-
THE NATURAL BUT I HAVE to look further
-
than that and understand yes in the
-
natural that looks impossible, THIS
-
LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE BUT IF I BELIEVE IN
-
FAITH that my God is more than able to
-
do exceedingly, abundantly above all I
-
can ASK OR THINK THAT I CAN STAND UP IN
-
HERE AND I CAN SAY it's time to take the
-
limits OFF OF OUR GOD AND LET HIM DO
-
what he does best. Come on. I declare
-
OVER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU GOT TO
-
TAKE THE LIMITS OFF AND LET HIM DO WHAT
-
HE DOES BEST. I KNOW THEY'RE RUNNING
-
FROM GOD NOW BUT LET GOD CHASE THEM DOWN
-
AND PULL THEM BACK. PUT THEM IN THE
-
HANDS OF GOD AND SAY, LORD I TRUST YOU
-
IN THIS MOMENT.
-
I trust you because you
-
are
-
God.
-
And when we truly
-
understand the access that you and I
-
have been given.
-
Can Can I land right there for a second?
-
Some of you are sitting here saying,
-
well, because of what I've done and what
-
I've done in my past and the mistakes
-
I've made and all this stuff that that
-
God doesn't want to give me access
-
because I hear the enemy's defense in
-
that trying to convince you that God is
-
not for you but he is against you.
-
But let me go ahead and combat that in
-
your mind.
-
You say, well pastor, I made mistakes.
-
We've got this view of God
-
that every time we have we make a
-
mistake, he is literally sitting in
-
heaven with a lightning bolt waiting to
-
strike you dead.
-
Come on. I grew up this way.
-
I was scared. Come on somebody.
-
I was scared if I did something wrong,
-
I'm going to die immediately.
-
Immediately.
-
And if if God didn't get to me, my mama
-
would. Come on somebody.
-
Hey.
-
I was scared because I didn't understand
-
the access in the grace of God during
-
that moment.
-
I didn't understand that it's in in what
-
watch this Paul very plainly said you
-
it's not grace so you could go out and
-
do what you want to do God forbid.
-
Now watch this because this is where the
-
twisting of doctrines get in the in the
-
model and in the midst of it and they
-
convince people you can go live any way
-
you want to live and you will always be
-
saved but the devil is a liar.
-
That is a lie from the enemy. Watch this
-
to talk you out of the total access that
-
God desires to give to you and to have
-
over your life and to have in your life.
-
The enemy would like to convince you
-
that every time you make a mistake that
-
you have absolutely ran away from God.
-
Can I tell you something? We are human
-
beings. If you cut me guess what I'm
-
going to bleed. You slap me I'm slapping
-
you back. I'm a human being. We are
-
prone and we will make mistakes in this
-
life but that is where the grace OF GOD
-
COMES IN. IT'S NOT A FACT IF I'M GOING
-
to fall but the Bible says a just man
-
falls seven times and he gets right back
-
up every single time. Your justice the
-
the justice OF YOUR LIFE AND COULD
-
DECLARING you a just person is not
-
whether you fall OR NOT IS WHETHER YOU
-
GET BACK UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT
-
AND YOU LEARN FROM THAT MISTAKE AND YOU
-
DON'T GO BACK TO THAT. I'M NOT TALKING
-
ABOUT SLOPPY AGAPE. I'M TALKING ABOUT a
-
love that TRANSCENDS EVERY MISTAKE. HE
-
ALREADY CALCULATED FOR OUR MISTAKES. HE
-
ALREADY CALCULATED FOR THAT. SO DON'T
-
YOU DARE LET the devil convince YOU CUZ
-
YOU MESSED UP ONE TIME YOU DON'T HAVE
-
ACCESS TO THE FATHER. HE STILL LOVES
-
YOU. HIS BLOOD IS STILL ENOUGH AND HE
-
WANTS YOU IN HIS FOLD. CAN YOU SAY AMEN?
-
Look at your neighbor say total access.
-
Total access because we are called to
-
take the limits off of our God.
-
Watch this when we understand that we
-
have access
-
and the access we have been given it
-
will change the way that we pray
-
and it will change the way we approach
-
our God.
-
It'll it'll change the way we approach
-
our God. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 16 says
-
it like this, "Let us therefore come
-
timidly."
-
No, that ain't what it says. Oops, typo,
-
my bad.
-
I was just seeing if y'all was paying
-
attention. Ha ha ha, everybody laugh,
-
it's all right. Okay.
-
Let us therefore come boldly. Somebody
-
say boldly.
-
To enter the holiest by the blood of
-
Jesus and by a new and living way which
-
he consecrated for us through the veil,
-
right? We talked about that a few
-
minutes ago. That is his flesh. He came
-
and offered himself as a spotless
-
sacrifice so the veil could be torn to
-
consecrate a new and living way so you
-
and I can boldly approach his throne AND
-
SAY, "GOD, THIS IS WHAT I NEED YOU TO
-
DO. I cannot do it myself, but Lord, I'm
-
going to let it be known in heaven and
-
in earth that you are able to do
-
everything I'm asking you to do." Oh my
-
GOD, I FEEL THAT IN MY SPIRIT. Some of
-
you need to get bold again in your
-
asking to the Lord. Some of you need to
-
get BOLD AGAIN SAYING, "GOD, I KNOW IT
-
LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT I TRUST YOU WITH
-
THIS." YOU SAY, "I NEED GOD TO TAKE CARE
-
OF SOME DEBT IN MY LIFE." THEN YOU START
-
SAYING, "GOD, I BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT."
-
"I NEED GOD TO TAKE CARE OF A SICKNESS
-
IN MY BODY." YOU BRING IT TO THE ALTAR
-
AND SAY, "GOD, I BOLDLY COME TO YOU
-
BELIEVING YOU'RE ABLE TO TURN THINGS
-
AROUND IN MY LIFE." I WANT TO KNOW IS
-
THERE ANYBODY THAT SAY, "I'VE SEEN HIM
-
DO IT BEFORE AND I BELIEVE HE'LL DO IT
-
AGAIN. I'VE SEEN HIM DO IT IN OTHERS'
-
LIVES. I'VE SEEN HIM DO IT IN MY LIFE,
-
BUT I PRAISE THE LIVING LAMB OF GOD THAT
-
IF HE DID IT FOR ME, BABY, HE'S ABOUT TO
-
DO IT FOR YOU, FOR YOU, FOR YOU, FOR
-
YOU." I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD GIVE HIM A
-
BOLD PRAISE AND SAY, "I BELIEVE HE'S
-
GOING TO DO IT. HE'S ABOUT TO TURN IT
-
AROUND. HE'S ABOUT TO SHIFT IT ALL IN MY
-
LIFE." COME ON, SOMEBODY.
-
CAN I JUST TESTIFY about boldness?
-
That's what I love ABOUT JULIA'S STORY.
-
I KNOW SHE STANDS SHE SITS HERE and she
-
don't sit very long when it comes to the
-
message. She's up dancing and shouting
-
and all those things. She is a bold LADY
-
OF GOD, AND CAN I TELL YOU IF SHE HAD
-
NOT STOPPED WHEN SHE DID AND PROTECTED
-
the word of God like she does so much IN
-
HER LIFE, IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY
-
THIS MORNING. BUT, because of her
-
BOLDNESS AND FAITH, I BELIEVE that she
-
had angels ALL AROUND THAT MOTORCYCLE. I
-
BELIEVE THAT RIGHT NOW SHE'S ALIVE AND
-
BREATHING AND GETTING up even THOUGH
-
IT'S PAINFUL BECAUSE THE GOD OF HEAVEN
-
SHOWED UP BECAUSE SHE WAS BOLD. CAN I
-
GET A WITNESS FROM SOME BOLD FOLK IN THE
-
HOUSE THAT YOU KNOW GOD'S DONE IT BEFORE
-
AND HE'S ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN IN OUR
-
LIFE?
-
THAT'S WHY I PRAISE GOD THAT WE GOT A
-
MOM AND DADDY THAT'S BOLD ENOUGH TO SAY
-
WE GOT TO GET HER TO THE ALTAR. WE STOOD
-
HERE ON WEDNESDAY of last week and we
-
I think it was Wednesday. I don't know,
-
I could be wrong. We stood right here
-
and I stood with the word of God and I
-
proclaimed the word of God OVER SHERYL'S
-
BODY AND WE PRAYED OVER HER. WE ANOINTED
-
her with the entire family AND I SAID,
-
"GOD, I GIVE HER TO YOU AND WE GIVE HER
-
TO YOU IN THIS MOMENT." HERE'S WHAT I
-
KNOW. I KNOW SHE'S IN A GREAT DEAL OF
-
PAIN RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE STILL BELIEVING
-
FOR NO BLOOD CLOTS TO GET IN HER BODY OR
-
TO MOVE AROUND. BUT, HERE'S WHAT I KNOW.
-
IT COULD LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT THIS
-
MORNING, BUT THANKS BE TO GOD SHE CAME
-
THROUGH. THEY DID EVERYTHING that they
-
was supposed TO DO AND I BELIEVE THAT IT
-
DIDN'T JUST GET HERE. I BELIEVE IT GOT
-
IN HER HEART AND I BELIEVE THAT WE SPOKE
-
BOLDLY THE WORD OF GOD AND HE'S ABLE.
-
COME ON, WE CALLED FOR THE ELDERS OF THE
-
CHURCH. WE ANOINTED HER WITH OIL AND WE
-
BELIEVE THAT GOD RAISED HER UP FOR A
-
TIME such as this.
-
Look at your neighbor and say, "IT'S
-
TIME TO BE BOLD."
-
People get nervous when you start
-
talking about boldness.
-
Because here's what I'm going to say.
-
Let me Let me caveat this before I get
-
tanked up and get going. You don't Don't
-
leave me. Stay right there.
-
Let me figure this out.
-
Because I want you to understand there's
-
a difference between boldness and
-
rudeness.
-
People think cuz I'm loud that I'm
-
godly. That's not true.
-
Hello somebody.
-
Is this
-
Is that thing on?
-
Maybe it is. I don't know if it is or
-
not. But let me fix this real quick and
-
let you understand something that
-
there's a difference between being bold
-
and being rude. Boldness comes with
-
kindness.
-
Boldness comes with grace.
-
Boldness comes with a faith that is
-
unhinged. Come on, I'm just going to be
-
honest. It's a unhinged faith. That
-
means I hear you talking about this
-
stuff, pastor, and I don't understand
-
what's on that paper. I may talk about
-
it in a minute and I MAY NOT. BUT WHAT I
-
AM GOING TO TELL YOU IN THIS MOMENT, I'M
-
NOT GOING TO BE RUDE TO MY BROTHERS and
-
sisters just cuz I HAVE BOLD FAITH. WHAT
-
I'M GOING TO DO IS IT'S GOING to be
-
infectious IN ME. AND BECAUSE THERE'S AN
-
INFECTIOUS BOLDNESS IN ME, IT'S GOING TO
-
GET ON THEM. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO
-
START TAKING THIS TERRITORY THAT GOD'S
-
CALLED US TO TAKE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.
-
ALL I NEED IS ABOUT HALF THE CHURCH TO
-
GET BOLD WITH PASTOR AND SAY IF HE DID
-
IT IN ME AND HE DID IT IN MY FAMILY, HE
-
CAN DO IT FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. AND I
-
BELIEVE IN THE HOUSE THAT WE GOT SOME
-
BOLD FOLKS THAT ARE GOING to say no to
-
the devil.
-
Now,
-
you can be rude to the devil all you
-
want to.
-
It's true.
-
You can be rude to the enemy all you
-
want to. But remember, people are not
-
our enemy, they are assignment.
-
>> [snorts]
-
>> And in this house, we have to verify and
-
understand where God has us. The
-
boldness that we supposed to have
-
is coming from a throne of grace.
-
Right?
-
And so if it comes from a throne of
-
grace, it's going to be imputing grace
-
back to us to give to other people.
-
And so that's where our boldness should
-
start and where our boldness should
-
stay.
-
Cuz watch this. I want you to
-
understand. I don't know where all that
-
came from, but we're called to be bold.
-
Come on, somebody.
-
We aren't praying to a distant God who
-
must be convinced to notice us.
-
Look at that.
-
Story on Mount Carmel where Elijah was
-
there. The the prophets of Baal, all
-
they were doing was trying to get a
-
deaf, mute, dead God to notice them and
-
they look ridiculous.
-
Elijah stepped up and said, "Get out the
-
way. Let me pray this quick prayer and
-
let's see fire fall down from heaven."
-
Now, that was Old Testament and he went
-
slaughtered every one of them when he
-
was done. Come on somebody.
-
I ain't telling you to do that. That is
-
not permission.
-
Amen.
-
It is permission to tear down every
-
stronghold and every principality that
-
comes against your home though.
-
Come on. I think it's time that we get
-
boldness back in our house again.
-
Come on mamas and daddies.
-
All right, I got about three of you.
-
Praise God.
-
Get some bonus back in our homes again
-
and the enemy will not be able to take
-
advantage of our children, our
-
grandchildren, and those that are coming
-
down the line. We stand in agreement and
-
we stand in solitude. BUT WATCH THIS, WE
-
ALSO STAND IN obedience to his word.
-
If we want his blessings to be unlocked
-
and his access to be there, we have to
-
obey his word.
-
We can't just live any way we want to
-
live and expect God to show up.
-
Hello somebody.
-
We aren't praying to a distant God,
-
but we are praying to a very close God.
-
We are approaching the throne of the
-
limitless God. Watch this, who has
-
invited us to come in.
-
He's asking you. He is He has given me
-
permission to give you open invitation
-
to get into his presence today.
-
We going to go there today because
-
scripture commands us to come boldly,
-
not timidly.
-
Now watch this. I'm going to say this
-
again in a different way. Boldness is
-
not arrogance. It is confidence in the
-
invitation.
-
It's confidence in invitation.
-
Boldness is not arrogance. It's not hey,
-
look at me. Look at my faith. No, no,
-
no. If we're doing it for that reason,
-
God's not going to touch that.
-
God shows up where there's a humble
-
heart
-
that says, "Look, God, I have submitted
-
myself to you and whatever you desire to
-
do, do it in me." Boldness is not
-
arrogance, it is simply confidence. Look
-
at your neighbor and say, "Confidence."
-
It's confidence in the invitation. That
-
doesn't come from an organization, but
-
it comes from a God who sits on the
-
throne and is inviting us into his
-
throne room.
-
Now,
-
Hebrews 10:19-20
-
says, "Therefore, brethren, having
-
boldness to enter the holiest by the
-
blood of Jesus, by a new living way
-
which he consecrated for us through the
-
veil, that is his flesh." We understand
-
something powerful in this moment that
-
we have both we can approach his throne
-
boldly in the holiest place, not through
-
our own power, but through the blood of
-
Jesus Christ. Through Jesus, we are
-
invited beyond the veil or behind the
-
veil. And when we go behind the veil
-
physically and spiritually, we have
-
access to the one whose wisdom has no
-
limit. Come on, somebody. Whose strength
-
has no limit. Whose resources have no
-
limit. Whose authority has no limit. AND
-
THE GOD WHOSE ability has no limit.
-
Therefore, our faith should not be
-
confined by what is possible only for
-
mortal men, but the limitation is not on
-
God's side. Watch this. The limitation
-
is on our side.
-
Come on. Are you with me? Are you
-
tracking? I'm trying to lay a little
-
foundation before we get all crazy and
-
start clapping and shouting and all that
-
stuff. Cuz I feel like we're going to go
-
there. But watch this. We often measure
-
God's ability by our capacity.
-
>> [snorts]
-
>> We see the problem and say, "Oh God,
-
there's no way you can do that." But we
-
are measuring God's ability by our
-
capacity at that moment.
-
WE LOOK AT THE OPPOSITION THE ENEMY
-
THAT'S COME AGAINST our life, and we
-
look at the impossibility, and we
-
measure that BASED OFF OF OUR CAPACITY
-
SAYING, "WELL, there's no way I'd ever
-
be able to do this." But really in that
-
moment, we are discounting the broadness
-
and the power of our God.
-
He is the all-powerful God. Can you say
-
amen?
-
So, here's what I wrote down. Faith
-
measures the obstacle by the greatness
-
of God, never the greatness of God by
-
the obstacle.
-
I'mma let that sink in. It took me a
-
minute, let it sink in, too.
-
Because many times if we're not careful,
-
we will end up telling God how great he
-
is based off of how big our problem is.
-
And say, "Well, God, this problem's
-
really big. I know you did last time,
-
but this one's like double. Come on,
-
somebody."
-
This problem is like double the problem.
-
I I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S going on. Can I
-
tell you that the problem is nothing
-
compared to how great our God is?
-
THE PROBLEM YOU ARE FACING RIGHT NOW,
-
and I'm not here to belittle what you're
-
walking through. I feel the pain. I
-
understand the the the pressure and the
-
temptation. I understand what you're
-
going through. I know because I've
-
walked through it, but here's what I
-
want you to understand. NO MATTER WHAT
-
THAT PROBLEM looks like in your eyes, I
-
want you to understand it's not as big
-
as your God.
-
Oh, come on. I got I got about three
-
people that are with me right there.
-
Let Let's go to the word of God and
-
figure OUT HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THIS.
-
David said it like this, "Oh, magnify
-
the Lord with me, and let us exalt his
-
name together." What is he talking ABOUT
-
RIGHT THERE? HE understood something
-
powerful, that my eye has a depth
-
perception problem. And if the problem
-
is closer to me than my God is, it will
-
appear bigger than my God is. But he
-
said instead of magnifying the problem,
-
he said, "Why don't you shift locations
-
and put the enemy where he belongs, and
-
put God right where he belongs?" That's
-
why he said, "I'm going to remember what
-
the Lord has done for me. I will keep
-
his commandments. I will keep his
-
promises before my eyes all the days of
-
my life. My magnifying glass will not go
-
to my problem, but I will shift my
-
perspective and say, 'YOU KNOW WHAT? IF
-
I'M GOING to magnify anything, I WILL
-
MAGNIFY MY GOD GREATER THAN ANYTHING the
-
enemy is bringing AGAINST MY LIFE. HOW
-
DO I MAGNIFY A GOD WHO'S ALREADY AS BIG
-
AS HE'S GOING TO GET? YOU GOT to shift
-
your perspective through your praise.
-
You got TO SHIFT YOUR PERSPECTIVE
-
THROUGH YOUR NEXT HALLELUJAH. YOU SAY,
-
"PASTOR, WHY DO WE GOT TO GET SO ROWDY?"
-
CUZ YOU GOT TO LET YOUR MIND KNOW THAT
-
YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL AND YOU GOT TO
-
LET THE YOUR MIND KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING
-
DEEPER ON THE INSIDE OF ME THAT ONLY
-
CONNECTS TO HEAVEN THROUGH MY PRAISE.
-
SO, I'M GOING TO STIR YOU ONE MORE TIME
-
TODAY. IF YOU SAY, "PASTOR, I'M GOING
-
THROUGH A DIFFICULTY AND IT LOOKS
-
IMPOSSIBLE." I DARE YOU TO JUMP TO YOUR
-
FEET RIGHT NOW AND PRAISE GOD AND LET
-
YOUR MIND KNOW YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL. I
-
KNOW THEY'RE RUNNING. I KNOW IT LOOKS
-
BAD. I KNOW THE FINANCES ARE CRAZY, BUT
-
I WILL MAGNIFY THE LORD AND I WILL EXALT
-
HIS NAME AND I KNOW GOD WILL BRING ME
-
THROUGH EVERY BIT OF IT. 1 2 3 GIVE HIM
-
PRAISE.
-
I REFUSE TO LET FEAR control my mind.
-
Now, look.
-
I'm almost halfway done.
-
Matthew 13
-
58
-
starts talking about
-
this thing called unbelief. Somebody say
-
unbelief.
-
Now, he did not
-
do many mighty works
-
there.
-
Shut up, Siri.
-
Sorry, my watch started talking to me.
-
Play a thing off.
-
I don't know how that happened.
-
This is talking about Jesus. He did not
-
do many mighty works there because of
-
their
-
unbelief.
-
This was specifically speaking to his
-
hometown, Nazareth.
-
Because people in that town knew him as
-
the carpenter's son.
-
They even said that in that scripture,
-
"Isn't this the carpenter's son? But
-
we're we're astonished by what he's
-
saying. We're astonished by his
-
teaching, but wait, this is the little
-
guy that we saw skin his knee and this
-
is the guy that we saw over here and
-
Joseph and Mary were trying to keep him
-
inside the fence and he was that toddler
-
that tried to get out and run away all
-
the time. You say, "Well, how do you
-
know that?" Because they miss they would
-
he went missing for a couple days.
-
Come on. You say, "Well, my toddler's
-
been bad, Pastor." Listen, he ain't
-
going to be as bad as Jesus was. Jesus
-
ran away.
-
Come on. He was in the temple teaching.
-
He was a little older, but I understand
-
that. So, you say, "Well, don't don't
-
criticize your parenting. Just do your
-
do your best you can." Come on,
-
somebody.
-
So, I want you to understand they knew
-
who he was. They had seen him grow up
-
and now he's teaching these things.
-
They're like, "Wow, this is powerful,
-
but I just can't receive it because I'm
-
too familiar with you."
-
Ooh.
-
This is the danger
-
if there is any danger in sitting in a
-
Pentecostal church.
-
And here's what I want you to
-
understand. The enemy will convince you
-
that you were here to be a spectator.
-
And because you sit in spectator mode,
-
you get used to seeing God do something
-
a certain way. And then, watch this.
-
There's a couple things that can happen.
-
Number one, if it doesn't happen the way
-
you've always seen, you get
-
uncomfortable.
-
And then,
-
on the other side of that, you become so
-
familiar with the moving of the spirit
-
that you can't recognize how God is
-
moving even on your own life.
-
This is one of the dangers of being in a
-
Pentecostal church. I love being
-
Pentecostal, baby. We're going to shout.
-
We're going to dance. We're going to get
-
that organ fired up. We're going to do
-
all that stuff. We're going to do all
-
the all the Pentecostal things because I
-
believe it's an expression of our faith.
-
What's going on inside is going to come
-
out. Come on. Can I get an amen? But,
-
here's what I want you to understand.
-
Don't ever let yourself drift to the
-
place that you become familiar with
-
Jesus.
-
That's what happened in his hometown.
-
They said, "Well, I see WHAT HE'S I HEAR
-
WHAT HE'S DOING. I EVEN SEE WHAT HE'S
-
TRYING TO DO." AND HE PROBABLY DID some
-
miracles in his hometown, BUT THEY COULD
-
NOT believe it because they were too
-
familiar with him.
-
The danger is familiarity. Don't you
-
ever approach him Again, I'll say it
-
like this. Don't approach him as your
-
homeboy.
-
Come on, somebody. He is a holy God.
-
Somebody shout holy God.
-
And he is to be treated as such because
-
when we approach him in a unrespectful
-
way, then we treat him as familiar when
-
he is not supposed to be treated as
-
familiar or common. He is an uncommon
-
God with uncommon solutions.
-
And so today we have to get that in our
-
heart.
-
Watch this. Their unbelief limited a
-
limitless
-
God.
-
And that's ONE SITUATION, BUT THEN
-
THAT'S THE BAD NEWS, but here's the good
-
news because then a Gentile came along
-
called the Centurion.
-
Who showed what limitless faith looks
-
like. Somebody say limitless faith.
-
You can find this story in Matthew
-
chapter 8 verses 5 through 13, but I
-
want you to see what the Centurion his
-
effect was on Jesus because he came to
-
him and said my servant is sick. He said
-
and I need you to come and pray, but he
-
said, "You know what? YOU DON'T EVEN
-
HAVE TO SHOW up at my house. If you
-
would just speak the word."
-
Come on somebody.
-
I feel this in my spirit today that
-
somebody in this place would say,
-
"Pastor, I came here today just seeking
-
one word from the Lord." I'm about to
-
give it to you right now because Jesus
-
said this when Jesus heard what the
-
Centurion said, he marveled and said to
-
those who were who followed, "Assuredly
-
I say to you, I have not found such
-
great faith not even in Israel or the
-
household of faith." People that call
-
themselves the household of faith that
-
have been around this thing all their
-
life and this man, he works for the
-
other side. Can I get a witness as what
-
he was saying? He said he works for the
-
other team, but he came in and said,
-
"I've got service and I tell them go
-
here and go there." BUT HE SAID, "I KNOW
-
JESUS, IF YOU'LL JUST say the word, I
-
KNOW SOMETHING'S ABOUT TO SHIFT." CAN I
-
TELL YOU I BELIEVE SOMETHING'S about to
-
shift in this house. You don't HAVE TO
-
HAVE SOMEBODY COME LAY HANDS on it. YOU
-
DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME
-
PROPHESY. I'VE ALREADY GOT THE WORD ON
-
IT RIGHT NOW. I SERVE A LIMITLESS GOD.
-
AND IF I SERVE A LIMITLESS GOD, I'VE GOT
-
HIS WORD ON IT THAT IF I LINK MY FAITH
-
WITH HEAVEN, WHATEVER I'M BELIEVING FOR
-
IN JESUS' NAME IS ABOUT TO BE DONE. I
-
BELIEVE BY FAITH HE'S GOING TO DO IT. I
-
BELIEVE BY FAITH HE'S GOING TO
-
RESURRECT. I BELIEVE BY FAITH THERE'S
-
NOTHING TOO HARD FOR HIM. TODAY I'VE GOT
-
A WORD. HE IS POWERFUL. HE IS ABLE. NOW
-
SOMEBODY GIVE HIM PRAISE in the house
-
today.
-
HALLELUJAH. SOMEBODY HOLLER TAKE THE
-
LIMITS OFF.
-
THIS CENTURION BLEW THEIR MIND. HE NOT
-
ONLY knew in his mind that Jesus could
-
heal. He convinced in his heart THAT
-
JESUS WOULD DO IT FOR HIM AND HIS HOUSE.
-
THIS HAS to be THE SHIFT TODAY. IT'S GOT
-
TO GO FROM MIND TO HEART SAYING GOD, I
-
KNOW YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF ME AND I KNOW
-
GOD THAT YOU ARE ABLE. AND I'M GOING TO
-
ASK YOU A QUESTION in this house. Did
-
you know THAT YOUR SAVIOR JESUS TOOK THE
-
LIMITS OFF OF YOU TODAY? DID YOU KNOW
-
THAT he spoke OVER YOU A LONG TIME AGO?
-
I'M ABOUT TO READ HIS WORDS IN JOHN 14.
-
HE SAID, "MOST ASSUREDLY I SAY TO YOU,
-
HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THE WORKS THAT I
-
DO HE WILL DO ALSO. AND GREATER WORKS
-
THAN THESE WILL HE DO BECAUSE I GO TO MY
-
FATHER." NOW WATCH WHAT JESUS SAID IN
-
VERSE 13. "AND WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY
-
NAME, THAT WILL I DO THAT MY FATHER MAY
-
BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON." THEN HE SAID
-
IN VERSE NUMBER 14 ONE MORE TIME. "IF
-
YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO
-
IT." COME ON SOMEBODY. HOW MANY BELIEVE
-
THE RED WRITING? DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT
-
JESUS SAID? DO YOU BELIEVE HE'S ABLE TO
-
DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL YOU
-
CAN ASK OR THINK? IF YOU GOT THAT NOTE
-
CARD IN YOUR HAND, I WANT YOU JUST TO
-
WAVE IT BEFORE THE LORD AND SAY GOD, I'M
-
BELIEVING YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT. I
-
BELIEVE YOU SAID YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE
-
CARE OF IT. AND IF YOU SAID YOU'LL TAKE
-
CARE OF IT, I KNOW YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF
-
IT FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. COME ON. AS FOR
-
ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.
-
SOMEBODY SHOUT AMEN.
-
He is
-
able.
-
LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR and say he is
-
able.
-
He's able today
-
to take the things that look impossible
-
in our eyes, and he's able to shift it
-
and make it possible right now.
-
Come on.
-
Cuz here's what I want you to
-
understand. And I will go ahead and get
-
our band up here, and you stay right
-
there. That'll be beautiful.
-
But I want you to understand. He said,
-
"If you ask
-
anything." Somebody shout "anything."
-
Yeah. And so, I'm going to go real deep
-
on you. You ready?
-
I'm going to go back to the Greek and
-
the Hebrew
-
and Aramaic and all these different
-
words.
-
I'll tell you.
-
Anything
-
means
-
anything.
-
I know you I this deep this morning,
-
y'all. I'm sorry. I wish I had all kinds
-
of like I could take you on
-
transliteration of scripture and all
-
that stuff, and I can do that sometimes,
-
but today it literally means anything
-
means anything. So, look at your
-
neighbor and say he means anything.
-
Oh, yeah. He means anything. And
-
somebody said somebody said, "Well,
-
Pastor, I'm not sure if God can do it."
-
Come on, somebody. I I read in the word
-
of God, I think it's some 1,500 plus
-
times in the word of God in the King
-
James version, the word if is used, but
-
it is never in the direction of God. It
-
is never in the direction if God can do
-
this, but it's in the direction of if
-
you want my promises, you will do X, Y,
-
and Z. Come on, somebody. Let me Let me
-
go ahead and lay it on you real quick
-
what it says. He said, "If you obey, if
-
you abide, if you believe, if my people
-
who are called by my name." Come on, we
-
can go on and on and on. That's the
-
direction of if is. But watch this.
-
These are one directional ifs where God
-
makes a promise and if we receive it, he
-
we will get the condition and it will be
-
met and we will receive the reward or
-
the blessing on the other side. This
-
word if may be a small word in the word
-
of God and it may be small in our
-
vocabulary. But if often stands as the
-
doorway between promise and fulfillment.
-
The the if in our life all usually
-
stands as a doorway or a sacred
-
threshold for us between the promise AND
-
FULFILLMENT THAT GOD HAS SPOKEN OVER our
-
life. So let's go ahead and fix this.
-
Our vocabulary should never include if
-
God is able. If God can make a way. If
-
God is in control. If Come on somebody.
-
If God can hear me. I want you to
-
understand our words carry weight this
-
morning and we grant access either to
-
God the Father to come and do something
-
INCREDIBLE OR WE GRANT ACCESS
-
TO the fear that comes with this life.
-
BECAUSE THE ACCESS WE GIVE determines
-
the degree of victory that you and I
-
WILL WALK IN THIS MORNING. BUT I GOT TO
-
GO BACK AND SAY I'M NOT GOING TO LET
-
THAT STUFF BE IN MY VOCABULARY. NO, NO,
-
NO, NO, NO, DEVIL. BECAUSE JESUS SAID IF
-
you ask anything in my name, I WILL DO
-
IT. HOW MANY BELIEVE THAT THE NAME OF
-
JESUS IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING THE
-
ENEMY can bring AGAINST OUR LIFE. IF YOU
-
BELIEVE HIS NAME IS MORE POWERFUL, I
-
DARE YOU RIGHT NOW TO PRAISE HIM FOR THE
-
FACT THAT EVERYTHING WE'RE BELIEVING FOR
-
[music] IS ABOUT TO come to pass. Every
-
report, EVERY COME ON. EVERY DOCTOR'S
-
REPORT, EVERY FINANCIAL REPORT, EVERY
-
BIT OF IT, I'M BRINGING IT TO HIM
-
SAYING, "GOD, YOU CAN DO [music] IT AND
-
YOU ARE ABLE." SOMEBODY GIVE HIM PRAISE
-
IN THE HOUSE.
-
I SAID SOMEBODY GIVE HIM PRAISE IN THE
-
HOUSE.
-
THAT'S ALL RIGHT FOR A BAPTIST [music]
-
CHURCH, BUT I'M LOOKING FOR A
-
spirit-filled church this morning.
-
SOMEBODY JUMP TO YOUR FEET [music] AND
-
GIVE GOD SOME RADICAL PRAISE AND SAY
-
GOD, I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I'M
-
PRAISING YOU NOW, BUT I BELIEVE ON THE
-
OTHER SIDE OF MY PRAISE, THERE'S GOING
-
TO BE A BREAKTHROUGH. THERE'S [music]
-
GOING TO BE A HEALING. THERE'S GOING TO
-
BE A DELIVERANCE THROUGH HIS POWER AND
-
THROUGH HIS GRACE. Somebody shout Jesus.
-
understanding this house
-
that the fact is
-
that Jesus is able to do the impossible.
-
And I believe the Holy Spirit has been
-
doing more than giving us information
-
today. I believe he's giving us a
-
revelation because revelation doesn't
-
just touch the mind, but it touches the
-
heart. A revelation that because of the
-
cross, because of the blood, we have
-
access to the living God. You don't have
-
to stand at a distance. You don't have
-
to wonder whether you're welcome or not.
-
You don't have to question whether God
-
will hear you or not. The veil has been
-
torn. The door has been opened. Access
-
has been granted. And today, I say to
-
you, you don't have to just ADMIRE THE
-
DOOR. I SAY COME ON, LET'S WALK through
-
the door together, church. Come on,
-
Liberty Culture. WE'RE ABOUT TO WALK
-
THROUGH THE DOOR OF THE IMPOSSIBLE.
-
WE'RE ABOUT TO WALK THROUGH THE DOOR
-
WHERE WE BELIEVE THAT GOD'S ABLE TO DO
-
IT. I REFUSE TO SETTLE KNOWING I HAVE
-
ACCESS AND NOT EMBRACE IT. I WILL LIVE
-
IT. I'LL PRAY LIKE IT'S TRUE. I'LL
-
WORSHIP LIKE IT'S TRUE. I'LL BELIEVE
-
LIKE IT'S TRUE. I'LL PRAISE LIKE IT'S
-
[music] TRUE because God is able.
-
WATCH THIS. FAITH doesn't measure God's
-
ability by the size of the obstacle.
-
Faith measures the obstacle by the
-
greatness of God. So, today I'm calling
-
you and I in this moment to ask not
-
timid prayers.
-
Come on, somebody. The time for timid
-
prayers is over. I'm about to preach up
-
in this house. I don't know where God's
-
about to take this thing, but I'm ready.
-
Is there anybody ready to go to church
-
with me for just a minute? Come on. I
-
feel this. Can I just Let's ahead and
-
preach it like I feel it? I'm holding in
-
my hand right now. I'll just go ahead
-
and tell you I'm holding the mortgage
-
note for this church and I'm believing
-
in the name of Jesus at some point
-
really, really soon whenever God desires
-
to do it that we're about to be able to
-
stand up here. I ain't going to hold it.
-
I'm going to burn it in Jesus name AND
-
SAY WE OWE NO MAN. We know Come on. I I
-
DECLARE WE OWE NO ORGANIZATION.
-
>> [music]
-
>> I believe that with all my heart. Come
-
on. I wish I had some folk that WOULD
-
BELIEVE WITH PASTOR TODAY AND BELIEVE
-
THAT GOD'S ABLE TO [music] TAKE IT AND
-
TURN IT OVER FOR HIS GLORY AND FOR HIS
-
HONOR. I'M GOING TO HOLD IT UP. GOD, I'M
-
BELIEVING YOU. YOU'RE ABLE. TAKE CARE OF
-
[music] IT, GOD, TODAY.
-
HALLELUJAH. SOMEBODY HOLLER, "TAKE THE
-
LIMITS OFF."
-
I SAY TAKE THE LIMITS OFF OF MY FAITH.
-
Take the limits off of my belief. I hold
-
on the other side of this a couple REAL
-
ESTATE TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HELD
-
UP AND THE ENEMY has been telling me,
-
whispering in my ear, "It'll never
-
happen." But I'm going to say this in
-
the name of Jesus, it's going to happen
-
and it's going to happen soon IN JESUS
-
NAME. I SPEAK IT BY THE POWER OF THE
-
HOLY SPIRIT. I stand with faith today,
-
not asking timid prayers or safe prayers
-
or convenient prayers, but I ask FOR
-
BOLD PRAYERS. I'M ASKING FOR IMPOSSIBLE
-
PRAYERS. I'M ASKING YOU TO PRAY
-
UNREASONABLE PRAYERS. I'M ASKING YOU TO
-
PRAY MIRACLE SIZE PRAYERS IN THE HOUSE.
-
WE'RE GOING to ask FOR THE PRODIGAL TO
-
COME HOME. WE'RE GOING TO ASK for cancer
-
to disappear. We're going to ask for
-
marriages to [music] be restored. We're
-
going to ask for chains TO BE BROKEN.
-
WE'RE GOING TO ASK FOR REVIVAL TO SWEEP
-
THROUGH THE FAMILY. WE'RE GOING TO ASK
-
FOR OUR CITY TO BE AWAKENED. WE'RE GOING
-
TO ASK FOR GOD TO DO WHAT ONLY HE CAN
-
DO. SOMEBODY GIVE HIM PRAISE IF YOU
-
BELIEVE IT.
-
OH, come on now. Y'all better come on.
-
I'm preaching better than you're
-
shouting right now.
-
I'M PREACHING SO EVERY PRAYER YOU PUT
-
DOWN ON THAT PIECE OF [music] PAPER WILL
-
COME TO PASS IN JESUS NAME. CALL ME WHAT
-
YOU WANT TO CALL ME, BUT I SAY IT'S DONE
-
BY THE NAME OF JESUS. I CALL THOSE
-
THINGS [music] WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH
-
THEY WERE. I CALL THOSE THINGS WHICH BE
-
NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. EVERY SON'S
-
COMING HOME. EVERY DAUGHTER'S COMING
-
HOME. EVERY BILL IS [music] PAID. EVERY
-
ONE OF THEM ARE RADICALLY CHANGED. EVERY
-
CANCER REPORT IS GOING TO COME BACK
-
CLEAR. 1 2 3 GIVE HIM PRAISE.
-
I SAID 1 2 3 GIVE HIM PRAISE in the
-
house. [music]
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody holler
-
out Take the limits off.
-
I'll say it like you mean it. Say take
-
the limits off.
-
MATTER OF FACT, STAND TO YOUR FEET if
-
you physically can. ONE MORE TIME SAY
-
TAKE THE LIMITS OFF.
-
TAKE THE LIMITS OFF OF MY GOD.
-
Take the limits off of my mind. Take the
-
limits off of my unbelief. Take the
-
limits off of me right now and let me
-
see with clear eyes. Let me see with
-
faith eyes this morning that the enemy
-
said one thing, but I believe the word
-
OF GOD SAYS SOMETHING COMPLETELY
-
DIFFERENT. In Jesus name, somebody shout
-
amen.
-
Just remain standing.
-
I'm almost done.
-
The fact is
-
here's what I know.
-
If we're going to believe
-
Oh God.
-
>> [crying]
-
>> Thank you.
-
For I say to you that I am the God who
-
has no limits.
-
Trust me today and what you are
-
believing for I will do it, says the
-
Lord. Do not allow doubt. Do not allow
-
fear. Do not allow any kind of
-
discouragement to come to your ears or
-
your heart, but today believe my word,
-
receive my word, and walk through this
-
open door that my son paid for with his
-
blood. And I will do what you are asking
-
me to do today. praise me for it because
-
I'm God and I change not. Oh, come on
-
somebody, can't we praise him? Come on,
-
I feel that in my spirit. Oh, I feel
-
that in my spirit. Hallelujah. Oh, come
-
on AND PRAISE HIM ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
-
PRAISE HIM. Praise him.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Come on, can we raise our hand and just
-
give him glory? Just for a moment.
-
Hey, hallelujah. Hallelujah to the lamb
-
of God. You are good. You are good. You
-
are good. Come on, open your mouth and
-
begin to open your mouth and praise him.
-
Come on. Give him glory. He said the
-
fruit of your lips that brings praise to
-
him. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Father, we bless you today. We praise
-
you today. God, we take the limits off
-
of our faith believing that you are
-
able.
-
Hallelujah.
-
Bold
-
prayers.
-
Impossible
-
prayers.
-
>> [snorts]
-
>> Unreasonable prayers.
-
Unreasonable.
-
Miracle-sized
-
prayers.
-
Watch this because if your prayer
-
doesn't require God to move,
-
it's probably not stretching your faith.
-
And everything that we do in this life
-
is to stretch our faith to believe God.
-
You say, "Well, pastor, I don't believe.
-
I don't I don't understand,
-
you know, giving and tithing and the
-
principle of the word of God when it
-
comes to that." Can I tell you it's
-
about your faith?
-
Cuz it takes faith
-
to say yes.
-
It takes faith
-
to write a check, old school, or to hit
-
the button on the church center. It
-
takes faith to do that.
-
It takes faith to believe that God's
-
going to take care of you on the other
-
side.
-
>> [snorts]
-
>> It takes faith to believe whenever your
-
loved one's in the hospital and you
-
don't know how it's going to turn out to
-
say, "God, I trust you."
-
But it's in that moment of increased
-
faith
-
that God is strengthening you and
-
expanding you and he's saying, "I've got
-
something great on the other side that
-
if you stay right where you're at with
-
your faith, you will not have the
-
ability or the capacity to handle what
-
I'm about to do in your life. So, that's
-
why I'm saying over this house, over
-
Liberty Culture, God is asking us to
-
take the limits off of him today."
-
He's saying, "I've got something for you
-
in the next season,
-
but if you keep the same limits that
-
you've kept on your mind for years and
-
decades, you will not be able to embrace
-
what God's about to do."
-
But I speak over this house today and I
-
say, "We're going to take the limits off
-
in the name of Jesus." Come on, anybody
-
with caster say, "I'm ready to take the
-
limits off."
-
Oh my God, I feel that. I feel him in
-
the room today.
-
I feel him in the room today cuz when we
-
take the limits off of him,
-
that's when our faith shifts from
-
"I've [snorts] I've not seen faith like
-
this in all Israel" to great faith.
-
Great
-
faith.
-
Cuz the beautiful thing is Jesus said it
-
like this. He said, "Ask
-
and it will be given to you.
-
Seek
-
and you will find.
-
Knock
-
and it will be
-
opened
-
to you."
-
Can I tell you that's not my opinion?
-
Those are the words of my savior.
-
I hold it in my hand again, because I
-
know
-
I know
-
God can do it.
-
I know God can do it by the end of the
-
day.
-
Come on.
-
Come on. I I
-
My faith is already there.
-
And I'mma tell you
-
if God can do it here
-
God can do it in my family.
-
God can do it in your life.
-
And God can do it in this house.
-
Cuz here's what I know.
-
We've got a great big assignment from
-
the Lord.
-
And I know he's able to do things that
-
we cannot do.
-
But
-
at the risk of being labeled
-
a word of faith person
-
and and and and being labeled somebody
-
the blab it grab it
-
whatever. I don't know that statement,
-
but anyways, I I've heard that before
-
when it comes to word of faith that it's
-
just like God give me this yacht, give
-
me this plane, whatever. I I get all
-
that. Whatever. That's between them and
-
the Lord.
-
But today, I'm linking my faith up with
-
a heavenly father
-
who owns the cattle on a thousand hill.
-
His supply is endless.
-
And can I tell you what you and I have
-
need of is a drop in the bucket compared
-
to all that God has.
-
So I say, "Lord, find me faithful
-
in what you've already given me
-
so I can believe for the next season.
-
Find me faithful IN WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY
-
GIVEN ME, SO GOD, I CAN RECEIVE what you
-
have for me in the next season."
-
So I say, "It's nothing for my God to
-
pay off our mortgage."
-
Just being transparent with you
-
because I got to let you know that I
-
believe God can do it.
-
And my faith is, watch this, I declare
-
he's going to pay our mortgage off in
-
Jesus' name.
-
I declare that with everything in me.
-
I know he's going to do it. I already
-
know it.
-
I'm just Just give me a burn bucket
-
ready. I'm ready. I'm ready to burn this
-
sucker.
-
Ready to burn it and stomp on it and
-
send it back in an envelope, ashes. They
-
can have it back.
-
It'd be great.
-
Cuz here's what I know.
-
The pressure to reach this community and
-
reach this world
-
is immense because the enemy is ramping
-
up his attack in these last days.
-
And And we can't just go
-
on our own ability, our own thoughts,
-
our own
-
energy.
-
We have to have the power of the Holy
-
Spirit.
-
But to have power, we got to have faith.
-
And we got to believe for the
-
impossible. We got to literally take the
-
limits off of our God.
-
And know
-
it And here's the thing. Need to know,
-
whatever you're believing for, there's
-
something in your flesh that's going to
-
say, "It can't be done."
-
Check with me.
-
Cuz this is our humanity side. It's
-
going to say, "That looks impossible."
-
Yeah, you're right.
-
And that's a good place to be in.
-
Because when it's impossible for you and
-
it gets done, you can't take credit for
-
it.
-
Come on.
-
And here's what I know. When it's
-
impossible,
-
I know I don't want to take credit for
-
it. I want God to receive the glory from
-
it.
-
And so today, I stand here
-
and I let you know that whatever you
-
wrote down on that piece of paper,
-
I have faith that God's about to do it
-
for you and your family.
-
How many say, "Pastor, I got faith that
-
God's going to do it for me and my
-
family, too."
-
Come on. Come on. Can we just raise
-
those hands and just thank the Lord?
-
Come on. Can we just thank him? Come on.
-
Thank you for his goodness. Thank you
-
for his mercy. God, we take the limits
-
off right now. We take the limits off
-
right now. Lord, every part of our life,
-
God, we take the limits off and I
-
declare over Liberty Culture Church,
-
God, that we are stepping into a new
-
season where God's people stop living
-
beneath the access that they've been
-
given and start walking in the authority
-
that they've that's been purchased by by
-
the blood of Jesus for us to possess. I
-
believe we're about to hear testimonies
-
we've never heard before, miracles,
-
breakthroughs, healing, salvation,
-
deliverance, financial provision,
-
families restored, dreams resurrected,
-
the impossible becoming possible. I
-
believe the testimonies are going to
-
pour in not because we discovered a new
-
formula, but because we finally believe
-
we have access TO A LIMITLESS GOD in
-
this house.
-
>> [snorts]
-
>> So, God,
-
we come boldly to the throne of grace.
-
We come with confidence.
-
God, we come with expectation.
-
We come believing.
-
Because our God is still limitless. Your
-
power is still limitless, Father.
-
Your mercy is still limitless. Your
-
grace is still limitless. Your love is
-
still limitless.
-
>> [snorts]
-
>> And if our God is limitless,
-
then let's take the limits off of our
-
faith [music] this morning, church.
-
All over this house, every head bowed,
-
every eye closed. If you're in this
-
house today and you don't know Jesus as
-
your savior, can I tell you that he is a
-
limitless God and his love for you was
-
demonstrated on a cross that he
-
literally gave everything for you. He
-
took the limits off to be able to buy
-
you back, to purchase you from the gates
-
of hell and the grips of hell. And
-
today, you can walk out of here saying,
-
"I may not have come in a relationship
-
with this God, but today I see what
-
Jesus did for me and I want to walk in
-
that. I want this brand new life." 2
-
Corinthians 5:17 says, "For if anyone's
-
in Christ, he's a new creation. Old
-
things have passed away. Behold, all
-
things have become brand new. Today, you
-
sir, you ma'am, can be brand new by the
-
precious blood of Jesus that he shed on
-
the cross. All you have to do is commit
-
yourself to him. Give it all to him
-
today and he will be your savior and
-
your Lord.
-
So, if you're all in this house with
-
every head bowed, every eye closed, if
-
you're in here and you say, "I need to
-
give my life to the Lord. I need to I
-
need to repent."
-
I need to repent of the way I was living
-
cuz it's not working. But today, I got
-
to make a commitment to Christ. And I
-
want you to say, "Pastor, just slip that
-
hand up and say, 'Pastor, when you pray,
-
pray for me today cuz I want to make
-
sure that my heart's right with the
-
Lord.'" Anybody in the house? Anybody in
-
the house needs to make things right.
-
Come on. I'll give you 5 seconds. 5 4
-
seconds. 3 seconds. 2 seconds. Anybody
-
else? Today's your day. Today's your
-
Sunday. Hallelujah. 1 second.
-
Hallelujah. Anybody else? Thank you,
-
Lord. Thank you, Lord, for those that
-
raised their hand today.
-
And today, here's what I believe.
-
I believe that today is going to be the
-
greatest day of your life.
-
Your birthday was significant and I'm
-
glad you were born.
-
But now is your born-again birthday.
-
Come on. We are made brand new by the
-
blood of Jesus. If you raised your hand
-
and you say, "I really mean business and
-
I want to make sure my life is right
-
with the Lord." Today, we're going to
-
make that commitment. So, if you raised
-
your hand, I want you to step out from
-
where you are and I want you to come
-
meet me right here. Real quick. Anybody
-
that raised their hand, come on. Be
-
brave. Be brave. Nobody You won't come
-
by yourself. You won't come by yourself.
-
I know God's going to be with you. I
-
I'll wait just a few more seconds.
-
Not here to embarrass you. Welcome to
-
the family. Welcome to the family.
-
Welcome to the family.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
I believe we're going to clap. They'll
-
come on. They'll come on.
-
Hallelujah.
-
So, here's what I'm going to believe
-
right here.
-
You have that note card.
-
Maybe you can slip in with the rest of
-
the crowd, and that's perfect. That's
-
fine.
-
Here's what I'm going to tell you. If
-
you got that note card and you wrote
-
down something you're believing the Lord
-
for,
-
I'm going to ask you to give me like 5
-
more minutes of your time, and then I'm
-
going to let you go.
-
I'm going to dismiss you, but I'm going
-
to ask you to take that card. If you
-
physically can, I want you to clutch it
-
to your chest, and I want you to come
-
and meet me at this altar with what
-
you're believing God for. Can we do
-
that?
-
>> [clears throat]
-
>> And and praise team, y'all go ahead and
-
get ready with something that we can
-
lift up to the Lord right now.
-
Cuz as you come,
-
when you get down to this altar,
-
I want you to take that
-
that that you're believing God for
-
>> [music]
-
>> as it's clutched to your chest.
-
Want you to keep it tight to your heart,
-
cuz this is what we're asking God to do.
-
It's what we're believing God to do.
-
And as we believe God to do it, we can't
-
do it
-
saying, "Oh, I don't know if God can do
-
it." The best way we can let our spirit
-
know and let our flesh know where our
-
faith stands is we're going to praise
-
him right in the middle of it. We may
-
not understand why we're asking for what
-
we're asking for.
-
>> [music]
-
>> We may honestly our flesh may not really
-
believe what we're confessing, but if
-
you'll praise him, your spirit man is
-
going to line up, and your flesh is
-
going to have to submit. So, take that,
-
put it on your chest, and take that
-
other hand if you will, and raise it to
-
heaven, and I want us to praise [music]
-
God that the fact that we believe we're
-
taking the limits off right now through
-
our praise, through our confession. God,
-
what [music] we are asking you to do,
-
God, absolutely is impossible in man's
-
eyes.
-
>> [music]
-
>> But, Lord, what we believe right now
-
with all of our heart, all of our soul,
-
and all of our mind is what we have
-
written down, God. We believe you're
-
going to do it. You are the limitless
-
God, and today we take the limits off.
-
God, [music] we give you our whole
-
heart. We give you our whole mind, our
-
whole strength, everything that we have.
-
We lay it at your feet, and as we
-
[music] clutch it to our chest, God, we
-
believe that there's nothing too hard
-
for you. God, you can pay a [music]
-
mortgage off. You can take care of a
-
health report. You can take care of
-
financial issues. You can take care of a
-
home that's [music] broken. You can take
-
care of sickness. You can take care of a
-
business, God. You can work it out where
-
it seems to be impossible. So, we bring
-
it [music] to you. And God, through our
-
faith in you, we call it done. Through
-
your power and through your presence,
-
God, do your work. [music] Do your work,
-
God. Move by your power and move by your
-
presence. So, Father, we [music] exalt
-
you. We praise you. We magnify you.
-
Hallelujah. Sing it, brother. [music]
-
Sing it.
