  1. Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found

  2. for transformation in Christ. We're so glad you're here and wherever you're listening from,

  3. we believe God will transform your life to today's message. This is week

  4. one of a series we're calling Somebody shouted at me fresh fruit? Does anybody

  5. love fresh fruit? Now? Maybe I should ask does anybody like stale fruit?

  6. Because sometimes you can find the value of something in the opposite. Because

  7. if somebody offered you something that was dull and nasty, your response would be

  8. no, thank you. But when somebody offers you something everybody shout at me

  9. fresh, it changes the dynamic of how you approach it. Today, as

  10. we start this brand new series, I want to let you know that God

  11. has given us a word as a church and for the year of twenty twenty

  12. four, prophetically, we are declaring that this is the year of what Fruit.

  13. Say it again, Fruit, say it with faith. Fruit. I'm

  14. talking about fruit in every area of your life. Only thirteen people believe it,

  15. but I'm gonna say it one more time. I'm talking about fruit in

  16. every area of your life. And over the next nine weeks, all the

  17. way up to Easter. I'm just gonna be sharing this thing that God has

  18. given me to release to the body of Christ. And I'm gonna go ahead

  19. and give you a spoil alert. I'm not talking about the fruits of the

  20. spirit, none of these nine weeks. No, don't you need those yet?

  21. Don't yell for that what I'm gonna do that. She's like, now,

  22. thank you God, We're not talking about your word. Hold on,

  23. listen. What I'm trying to say is I believe God's giving me fresh revelation

  24. to build up the idea of why we need fruit in our lives more than

  25. ever before. And then in the fall, from from September to Christmas,

  26. I'm gonna wear out the fruits of the spirit. And I'm telling y'all the

  27. things that God has already shown me for nine months from now right. But

  28. I gotta start building value today. So John fifteen sixteen is gonna be our

  29. anchor scripture. And I got twenty seven minutes to do this in so I

  30. need y'all to rock with me. I'm a I'm a whip through this,

  31. but it's so dense impact that this fruit is juicy, and you gonna you're

  32. gonna have some dripping driffing. Okay, you've got to go back this week.

  33. John fifteen sixteen. This is Jesus talking. This is our anchor scripture

  34. for the year. Look at him talking to you. So strong. You

  35. did not choose me, but I chose you. Yes, that'sor Charles so

  36. eloquently coined at conference, God chose me, and today Jesus is saying that.

  37. And he's saying, I chose you and watched this. I appointed you.

  38. Why did God appoint me? I mean, there could be a lot

  39. of reasons why he appointed me, Why he put me in position, Why

  40. he said you, why he said your name, why he said this family,

  41. why he said this era. I appointed you for one reason, so

  42. that you might go and bear fruit. I was expecting something else there,

  43. but God said, you ain't choose me. I chose you, and I

  44. chose you for one reason, bear fruit that is so strong. And then

  45. he doubles down and he said, I don't just want any type of fruit.

  46. I want fruit that will last, and so that whatever you ask it

  47. my name, the Father will give you. Somebody shot in me fruit.

  48. When God gave me this on July third, I wrote it down and these

  49. words came out on I message. It said, fruit stands for faith repeating

  50. until it transforms. You want to see fruit, You're gonna have to use

  51. your faith over and over, repeating until whatever you put in the ground starts

  52. transforming. And many of us getting lost and left behind because we want fruit

  53. and we don't want to plant nothing. I can't stay here today. But

  54. what I want to let you know is that you can't be fruit full if

  55. you're seed less. I'm gonna say it one more time because some of y'all,

  56. somebody sneezed over there and you missed it. You cannot be fruit full

  57. if you are seed less. And in this series, I'm gonna teach you

  58. how to take the seeds that God's already planted on the inside of you and

  59. plant them somewhere and watch it and water it and pray over it and wait

  60. on it, and it will be your faith repeating until it transforms. I

  61. was gonna just name this series Fruit, but the Holy Spirit said, I

  62. don't want it to be stale. People. If you name the series fruit,

  63. they gonna think they already know what I'm saying. Oh, fruit,

  64. love, joy, pea's patience. Can they're gonna they're going to hit the

  65. religious hierarchy on this series, he said, But nobody can argue with something

  66. that's fresh. And so then I begin to look at that word fresh.

  67. And then I was thinking about my own life and in this last season,

  68. as I've transitioned in sizes my clothes, practically, I've been given away a

  69. lot of clothes. And you know, I've been giving way a lot of

  70. clothes with tags on them, within boxes and all that other stuff. And

  71. you know, when you're in the moment giving away the clothes, it becomes

  72. overwhelming because you're frustrated that you're even dealing with this, and so you start

  73. looking at stuff differently and you're like, no, just give it away,

  74. Just give it away, just give it away. Give And then I've come

  75. into a couple of places and I've seen some people with the clothes I discarded

  76. on and for some reason, it was more appealing to me on them than

  77. it was on the rack. And I was trying to figure out why I

  78. liked my clothes again that I gave away. It's because whatever they put it

  79. with, however they matched it, however they wore their own swag and energy.

  80. It wasn't new because I gave it to them. It was old to

  81. me, but the way they put it together was fresh. They had a

  82. fresh perspective on it. They had a fresh outlook on it. They had

  83. a fresh idea about how to wear this. And I want to know,

  84. is the place that God is bringing you into in twenty twenty four. Is

  85. this a place that's supposed to be new or is it a place that God

  86. desires to take what is already there and make it fresh? Okay, Okay.

  87. I was telling my friend that next week I'm preaching the Vision series in

  88. this for our church, but I couldn't do it without laying the foundation of

  89. what fresh looks like. Because next week I'm going to share the vision of

  90. this church, and I want to let you know it's not new, but

  91. it's the way that God has given me. What this church is about to

  92. do and how you play a part in it is so fresh, but it's

  93. still representing God to the loss and found for transformation in Christ. It's not

  94. new, it's why do you keep saying that because it's the title of my

  95. message. It's not new, it's fresh. You gonna go back to your

  96. apartment today and You're gonna stop begging for another house. You gonna look around

  97. what you already have and say, God, give me fresh vision for what

  98. you have for me in here, because you know what, I don't need

  99. nothing new. If I just would get a fresh perspective on what God has

  100. already trusted in my hand, it can change and transform into something completely different.

  101. Somebody say it's not new, it's fresh. When I told this friend

  102. that I was about to do a vision series next week, he said,

  103. bro, you need to go check out that new Apple Vision pro And I

  104. said, what you're talking about? He said, Apple just put out some

  105. crazy technology. You need to see it. And I said, why do

  106. I need to see that. I'm a grown man. I don't need I

  107. don't I don't need that. And he was like, yeah, just go

  108. see. So my wife was shopping the other night and I'll just you know,

  109. she's in the Lady's store and I was like, I don't want to

  110. go in here with you. I'm gonna go over to the Apple store.

  111. I went to the Apple Store and I asked for a demo of this new

  112. little situation. And I know I have kids, but they disappeared. I

  113. put the goggles on Ava and bella word there, and then for thirty five

  114. minutes, I was in this world. Matter of fact, y'all, they

  115. got me. Bring them here real quick, Bring them here, because I

  116. want to show you what the Lord did for me. I went and I

  117. really I want to make a confession to my wife because I don't think she

  118. knew I had these. They got me because I went into that store and

  119. I put on these, uh, these goggles and uh the technology that is

  120. in these things. I know y'all looking at me crazy right now, but

  121. I'm looking at you crazy because I can see everything. But now I can

  122. see everything with other things in front of it, Like Black Panther is playing

  123. right here. You're laughing, but I'm watching the movie and not paying attention

  124. to you laughing at me. My I message is right here. I'm about

  125. I'm about to FaceTime somebody right here, and I'm literally looking at all of

  126. these things. Oh my gosh, this looks crazy to you, but to

  127. me, I'm actually sending things. You're laughing, but I just send somebody

  128. money. Yeah, I have full surround sound on right now. I'm really

  129. trying not to get distracted, but I am Wow somebody told me, yeah,

  130. get the new goggles. And as I walked out and they said new

  131. goggles, I started to think, this technology is not new, it's this

  132. is just pictures and video and and goggles and text messages. But because somebody

  133. got a fresh perspective on what was already available, the value of what was

  134. regular went up tremendous. Now, the church has been asking God to do

  135. something new for years. When he said, if you would just take what

  136. I've already given you and ask for a fresh revelation, fresh fire, fresh

  137. anointing, it would be something that would become valuable, not just to you,

  138. but to the whole world. And what does the church do. We

  139. take these goggles off and we put these on. You're laughing, So is

  140. the culture. We're in an environment that is changing away on time. Oh

  141. I don't even need these in this environment. I walk into the restaurant with

  142. antiquated love, walk into the business place feel with the Holy Spirit, no

  143. kindness, and I just begin to think, by the last seventeen minutes,

  144. God, could you be trying to do something to let us know that You're

  145. not going to do a new thing. You want to do a fresh thing

  146. and when I looked at this technology, and literally my friends were all tripping

  147. out over the technology. Some of them started hating, why do you need

  148. that? This word is going to take over the world. You're hating because

  149. you don't have it. You're hating because you've never experience what's on the other

  150. side of something fresh. And I just wanted to build the value today before

  151. I give you fresh vision next week that if you don't stop desiring new,

  152. you will discount what God's trying to do in the place you're already at.

  153. Write this down. A life with Christ is not about what I get that's

  154. new. It's about what I keep fresh. I don't need nothing new in

  155. Christ. After I get salvation. I just gotta keep my prayer life fresh,

  156. my community fresh, my ability to be transparent fresh. And some of

  157. y'all's ability to be honest is stale and crusty. And so God says,

  158. tell the truth to your brother. God says, join a small group.

  159. God says, go write that book. And you have not done your part

  160. in the equation of the Christian life. You have not kept your relationship with

  161. Him fresh. So I go to other things looking for something new. And

  162. God said, you ain't prayed to me in two years. No, you've

  163. begged me for things and asked me to save you. But a relationship that's

  164. fresh, you don't care to spend time with me. You care that I

  165. save you. Ecclesiastes one nine. The things that have been it is that

  166. which shall be, And that which is done is that which shall be done.

  167. You know the Bible trying to make you confuse. It'll bring it together

  168. right here. And there is no new thing under the sun. What has

  169. been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be

  170. done. And there is nothing new under the sun. So if there's nothing

  171. new under the sun, why does God want to have a fresh relationship with

  172. me, he says, because I have revealed truth or revelation under what you

  173. think is regular. I will use a hard situation, and if you keep

  174. your relationship with me fresh, I'll make you into a person you never thought

  175. possible. When me and my wife got to diagnose with our son having autism,

  176. I thought it was the worst thing that ever happened to us, and

  177. it sucks. But who I've become at having to go to God daily to

  178. stay fresh, just to get back in the race. To be able to

  179. believe him. There was something under what I thought was normal that made me

  180. somebody shot at me fresh. And this is what I need to be able

  181. to pinpoint real quick, because I'm for you, just for one second.

  182. Culture desire's new. Christ desires fresh. If you keep going to cool culture

  183. and you keep doing it, what's new on the feed, what's the next

  184. scene, Who's putting out a new song. I'm just I'm just submitting to

  185. you that God might not want to do nothing new in twenty twenty four.

  186. What if He took everything you already got and gave you a fresh perspective,

  187. a fresh spirit, a fresh attitude on it. You don't need a new

  188. marriage. You need a fresh marriage. You don't need a new car something

  189. like pastor you don't even know my car, your situation. Someone's like,

  190. I might need a new car. But I'm saying, what if stewardship is

  191. a real thing to God, And what if the way you're taking care of

  192. what you don't see value in it's part of the timeline of when something fresh

  193. is coming. All I'm saying to you is I don't want you to get

  194. played like Michael Jordan's shoe company is playing all of us. Somebody like,

  195. what this man hasn't played basketball in decades but has a billion dollar shoe industry.

  196. And you know what they do. They take the shoes that are old

  197. and they tell you that they're reimagined and they give them to you. And

  198. people stand in line to buy the same old thing, and they call them

  199. what retro? Y'all know what that word means? Old? Oh you get

  200. them retro, you get them old? Is that what you're saying to me?

  201. And they have made billions of dollars selling old things to people with new

  202. excitement. Could it be that you have been sold by the enemy. I'm

  203. done with that relationship, and now you have a reimagined one. But it

  204. looks just like the old one. What a different name the reimagine? Ricky?

  205. And you show it up? Hey, bro, you see these new

  206. I got the aid all these old things. And somebody somebody is like,

  207. passa mike. What are you saying? If you don't look for fresh,

  208. you'll settle for old. The enemy would love for you to buy the old

  209. thing with new excitement, But I'm not falling for it this year. Somebody

  210. say, I want what's fresh? No, say it like you mean it

  211. with faith. I want what's fresh. Write this down because I have Jesus.

  212. I don't need something new, I need something fresh. You're gonna look

  213. back over these notes and it's gonna be the same thing with small nuances,

  214. because what God is trying to get you to understand is the fruit he wants

  215. in your life. He does not want the fruit your mama ym had.

  216. I'm not saying that what they had wasn't good, but if you still living

  217. off their prayers and the only scriptures you know is the three that they told

  218. you and the one you got tatted across your stomach, God's saying, I

  219. want to give you fresh Rayma, I want to give you word. I

  220. want to give you I want to give you my heart. I want to

  221. give you my mind. Somebody yell at me fresh, okay. Corinthians five

  222. point seventeen. This is very important. This is why I'm trying to get

  223. this into you, that God wants to do something fresh in you. Somebody

  224. just said God wants to do something fresh in me. Eugh, because the

  225. time he does something new is at salvation. Corinthians five seventeen. Therefore,

  226. if anyone is in Christ He is a new creation. The old has passed

  227. and the new Behold, the new has what spiritually you are new at the

  228. point you were saved. But I gotta keep my prayer life fresh. I

  229. gotta keep my accountability fresh. I gotta keep my community fresh. I gotta

  230. keep my heart to give. Have you ever been real generous in one season

  231. and stingy in another? Why is that? Because something in me did not

  232. do what was necessary to keep it fresh. Perfect example is that of this

  233. is if you ever work out really hard for a season and then you take

  234. four months off, it's almost as if you never ever did anything. It's

  235. because you didn't keep the muscles. This revelation, watch this. This is

  236. what I want you to go home with today, and then I'm gonna share

  237. vision with you next week. But I need you to get this. This

  238. revelation lets you know where you're at and what you have is enough. And

  239. this is the place where most of us are not. Watch this word content.

  240. The reason you have so much anxiety, the reason why you're trying to

  241. find where we at, we outside, where we're going on vacation, Who's

  242. this, Where's my new job, Where's my new bay, Where's my new

  243. it's comfort season and all of these, all of that, what's the new

  244. trend? What's the new tik? Talk? What new? Even? Am

  245. I getting? What? Wig is it? Am I getting Priscilla? Or

  246. are I getting Paris? What are you trying to do? I need a

  247. new look, I need a new Why are you doing all of that?

  248. Because you're actually not content and you cannot be content with a mind that thinks

  249. here is not enough. This is hard for me to preach because literally,

  250. the Lord had to strip me for two years. And I'll talk about the

  251. pruning season when you want fresh fruit, but he had to me for two

  252. years to let me realize that here is enough. If nobody else comes to

  253. our church, whoever shows up, it's enough. If the songs never get

  254. out. But we just had that experience that we just had in this place.

  255. Today, somebody say it's enough. This is going to release you so

  256. that you can have fresh food in your life. Where you're at is enough.

  257. And even when I say that, some of y'all got mad because I

  258. sold the ball, I can do it. Say it ain't name oh oh

  259. boffoh, I think or imagine he can do that. But if he doesn't

  260. is he still good? Is he still worthy? Does he still deserve your

  261. devotion? And so many of us want a new word from God, a

  262. new thing from God, And he is begging you, would you let me

  263. just give you a fresh perspective on whatever already placed in your hands, because

  264. what is not new can feel new. Some of the best gifts I've ever

  265. gotten were not things that came fresh out of the store. It was stuff

  266. that other people had that they said, man, this watch would look good

  267. on you, and they gave it to me. I was like, this

  268. does look good on me. And the value was put there because it was

  269. not new to them, but it was fresh to me. Matthew, Chapter

  270. nine, verse fourteen. This is where we're going end today. Ooh.

  271. The disciples are asked about fasting while Jesus is sitting there, and these people

  272. of the day are trying to do things to make religious status instead of doing

  273. the things that were asked of them. So there was only one fast that

  274. they needed to do, but they started doing it as a ritual to actually

  275. boost their confidence and their view in other people's eyes. So they asked Jesus,

  276. why your disciple's not fasting, and Jesus said, bro. Let me

  277. break this down with a parable real quick Matthew, Chapter nine, verse fourteen.

  278. And no one puts new wine into old wine skins, for the old

  279. skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins.

  280. New wine. Watch this is stored in new wine skins, so that both

  281. are preserved. Hold on, God wants to do something new, but he

  282. wants to put it in something fresh. If God is gonna pour new wine

  283. into our lives, he's not gonna pour it into old vessels. You want

  284. a new thing from God, you need a new vessel. Let me prove

  285. it to you. So I did a little Greek in Hebrew's study on this.

  286. Right here, that word that says new wine is stored in new wine

  287. skins new wine. The Greek word is NEOs, and that means not fully

  288. the so it's saying the not fully developed wine cannot be stored. And then

  289. it uses the same word new right here. But this is the Greek word

  290. chaos, And as you know, I don't even know the right pronunciation,

  291. but that feels good, chaoos, and I'll put it up later. But

  292. that word translates to fresh. So in the original translation, it says new

  293. wine is stored, cannot be is stored in new wine skins. This is

  294. why we got to study our Bible. What it really is saying is not

  295. fully developed wine cannot be stored or has to be stored in fresh vessels.

  296. I'm gonna say it one more time. The new wine that God wants to

  297. pour has to be stored in fresh vessels. Or watch this, the vessel

  298. breaks. The reason why this is so important because everybody's clang out for something

  299. new. God, I want my business to crack off this year. God,

  300. I want my relationship, he said, If I give it to you

  301. with that old vessel, if I give you what I have, I got

  302. it for you. I'm not short on what I have for transformation in church.

  303. I'm not short on what I have for your marriage. I'm not short

  304. on what I have for your life. But if I give you this new

  305. juice with that old wine skin, God's not pouring new unless the vessel is

  306. fresh. That's all I came to tell you today. Next week, I'm

  307. gonna pour some fresh vision into you that I believe that is going to literally

  308. not just transform our lives, it's gonna transform the world. But I let

  309. it. I needed to come let you know today that if you approach next

  310. Sunday's vision that God has poured into me and it's gonna pour into you with

  311. old wine skin. I just came to warn you it might break you.

  312. Y'all. Don't listen to the word. It might be the thing that makes

  313. it bah or we can decide today, Lord give me a fresh perspective.

  314. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want to do, whatever you want

  315. to do, have your a have that's not a song, that's me renewing

  316. my mind so that I can have a fresh vessel to receive everything God has

  317. for me. Write this down because some of y'all like, well, why

  318. will God give us something new that would not be able to be hailed with

  319. the who I am today? Because the thing you have to realize is,

  320. just like back in that day, new wine had a property that would expand.

  321. So if the vessel did not have the ability to expand with it,

  322. it would actually put pressure on it to the point where it would break.

  323. God saying, if you're not flexible in this next year to be able to

  324. expand what I'm doing, that's not a part of your personality type that you've

  325. never seen anybody doing your family that's outside of your comfort zone. Man,

  326. there's a lot of black people that go there, and you was raised with

  327. all white people. What I'm saying to you is if you don't stretch,

  328. you won't be able to hold what's fresh. And God's requirement for fresh is

  329. not a limitation. It's for preservation. He doesn't want to waste the wine

  330. what God's about to pour into your life, he doesn't want it to waste.

  331. So he's telling you change the vessel, wake up earlier, get in

  332. your word, stop talking to them, change the vessel. Don't watch that

  333. no more. Delete that social media account. I had to delete a very

  334. famous rapper who used to be a Christian and rapper kind of for a season

  335. and has made a transition and is posting very lude pictures on their Instagram.

  336. And the first thing I wake up into the morning is his wife half naked.

  337. Now I could have been like, ah man, my man, going

  338. through praying for him. I'm doing all of that, but to keep this

  339. vessel together. Delete block And y'all know who I'm talking about, because you're

  340. still following them. I'm not talking about being popular. I'm talking about being

  341. pure. I'm talking about being ready as a vessel to be able to hold

  342. what God has for you. And you're gonna be crying that God didn't do

  343. what he said. He said, No, you wasted the wine. I

  344. want this thing to be fresh, and I can't put what's new in something

  345. that's old. Yeah. What if this year we got familiar with fresh pastor?

  346. Mike, how do you stay fresh? Is it gratitude? Yeah?

  347. How do you stay fresh? Gratitude? Gratitude is the gateway to a fresh

  348. perspective. Everything in your life that you hate, act like it wasn't there,

  349. and act like you never had it. You hate that house, but

  350. act like God didn't come through for you so that you couldn't even have a

  351. house that you hate. Right now, you could be living with your in

  352. laws. I love you, Mama, Dannel, but I'm not living with

  353. you. No, no, no, I'm just when you begin become thankful,

  354. when you begin to become thankful for what God has already done, it

  355. becomes the gateway into you actually living a life that is fresh. And the

  356. truth of the matter, I came to tell everybody that God really wants to

  357. do something in us this year but if our gratitude doesn't come to another level,

  358. we will have the wrong perspective on what God is asking us to enjoy,

  359. and we will be calling that thing something that we have to endure because

  360. we have the wrong perspective. I can tell how I'm preaching right now and

  361. how quiet it is in this room that y'all wish I came in here and

  362. tell you this. Your fresh foot is lou new low, everything new,

  363. and I came to tell you that in Christ it's fresh Psalms one hundred and

  364. four. Enter his gates with and go into his courts with praise, give

  365. thanks to him, and praise his name. I found it in the message

  366. version. Look at this enter with the password thank you. Write this down.

  367. The past code to the presence of God is thank you. Thank you

  368. for this marriage. I know it's hard right now, God, and I

  369. know that we're not seeing eye to guy, But thank you that you gave

  370. me somebody to work on it with. Father. Thank you for these kids.

  371. They look like me and they act like the devil. But Lord,

  372. at this moment, I thank you that you trusted me to raise them to

  373. know you. Father, Thank you for this hard situation. Thank you that

  374. I found out about the diagnosis and it didn't just take me out suddenly.

  375. I'm just saying I don't want it. God, thank you for this job.

  376. I know it's not the fire for me, but Father, there are

  377. people right now that don't have anything. Thank you for what you're teaching me

  378. in this like the password to God's presence is what. Thank you. So

  379. next week I'm gonna share some vision. I'm gonna pour some wine in But

  380. the only people that will be able to receive it is those who don't want

  381. something new. But people who are okay with stand up all over this building.

  382. Please amen, Yeah, Can we just lift our hands and ask God

  383. for a fresh perspective? Come on, hands lifted, God, I thank

  384. you that today we don't need nothing new. Today we need a fresh word,

  385. fresh vision, fresh relationships, fresh passion. God. Today we need

  386. fresh wisdom. Come on, my hands lifted right there, Come on,

  387. Father, right now, we need something from you, something that doesn't come

  388. from new. We want you to take over and reign over. Father.

  389. So today we're calling on yahweh for every person that is under the sound of

  390. my voice. Father, I pray that this year would be a year of

  391. fresh fruit, that everything that they produce in their life would be something Father

  392. that is not old, not stale, not something from a last season,

  393. but it'll be something that you will give them every single day. Father,

  394. thank you for fresh fruit in relationships, fresh fruit in parenting, fresh fruit

  395. and ideas, fresh fruit and knowing what you're trying to do. Father,

  396. I pray that we would become, Father God, enamored with what you can

  397. do with what's already there. Let us divorce culture's idea that new is better.

  398. God, we commit to being new wine skins. Fresh wine skins show

  399. us the areas, Father God, that we have walked away from what you

  400. desire for us. And God, I thank you that everything in everybody's life

  401. that is a part of their purpose will become fresh again. Fresh passion this

  402. year, fresh prayer, life, fresh love, fresh joy, fresh peace,

  403. fresh patience. God, come on y'all today, God, we are

  404. making a decision that will use whatever you've placed in our hands. And if

  405. your hands are on top of our hands and we know there's anything, there's

  406. nothing that's impossible. Today. If you're in this room, I feel this

  407. very strong God wants to offer you a new life by accepting Jesus Christ so

  408. you can have a fresh outlook on everything. And I'm telling you this is

  409. the thing that transformed my life. If you want to accept Jesus in this

  410. place, any man that be in Christ, he is a new creation.

  411. It's gonna give you a fresh outlook on everything. I need everybody to start

  412. praying right now because there are people in here that what better thing could you

  413. have at the beginning of twenty twenty four is a fresh way of living,

  414. something that changes you from the inside out. If you're in here and you

  415. want to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior, I'm telling you

  416. this is the vessel that he wants to use you. He chooses to do

  417. something with you that is unlike anything else in this world. And he wants

  418. to live, walk, talk, lead guide. He wants to give you

  419. everything that you need to live this life successfully. If that's you, on

  420. account of three, I want you to lift your hands. And this is

  421. the decision that took me from being a liar, manipulator, addicted to pornography,

  422. all kinds of crazy stuff, and it makes me perfect, but it

  423. allowed me to become a man that's progressing. If that's you. You want

  424. that in this room or watching online. I just want you to lift your

  425. hand. This is a holy moment because God is a renewing somebody. Right

  426. now. One, you're making the greatest decision of your life. Two,

  446. just made that decision, I want you to click the QR code on the

  447. screen. If the worship team would come up. I feel there's a moment

  448. that God is about to renew. Somebody's gonna run out. I know you

  449. gotta go, but maybe there's just a few moments in the presence of God

  450. that's gonna renew you. And I'm gonna have y'all sing y'all weigh again just

  451. from that chorus. But I'm telling everybody under the sound of my voice,

  456. and dole in their life, they would throw it away and they would only

  457. work with what you are calling fresh, have your way as our prayer in

  458. Jesus' name. If you need prayer for anything, we have Wednesday night prayer

  459. and then we got prayer in here today. If you need prayer, the

  460. altar workers are gonna come to the front. And I don't want you to

  461. leave this place because some of y'all are hungering for something. I can hear

  462. it, I can sense it. I don't care how much money you have

  463. in the bank. Others have to go. Do not be pressured to leave

  464. the present of God if you need something right now. If somebody was giving

  465. away money, couldn't nobody let me leave. They couldn't make me leave.
