It Was All A Dream | Pastor Brian Bullock

Alright, I got a message for you.

If you have your Bible, go to the book of Genesis, chapter number 15, and I'm gonna look at verses 1 through 6.

Genesis chapter number 15, look at verses 1 through 6.

And uh typically I don't make fun of people uh who can't find uh a book in the Bible.

I think that's wrong and that's messed up.

Uh, you know how some people are like, oh, you can't find Jonah, you can't find Nahom.

How can you not find Ephesians?

I don't do that to people, but if you can't find Genesis, if you need the table of contents to find Genesis, uh, then you need to give us the next four weeks of your life.

You need to give us the next four years of your life.

Genesis, first book of the Bible, come on manhill, Genesis chapter 15.

Genesis 15 · chapter mention

Let's get verse 1 through 6.

I'm reading out of the ESV.

And uh it says, After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision.

Fear not, Abram, I am your shield, your reward shall be very great.

But Abram said, Oh Lord God, what will you give me?

For I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus.

And Abram said, Behold, you've given me no offspring, and a member of my household, just one of these random members of my household, just gonna be my heir.

And behold, the word of the Lord came to him.

This man shall not be your heir.

Your very own son shall be your heir.

And he brought him outside.

Underline that if you got a physical Bible, but he brought him outside and said, Look toward heaven and number the stars if you are able to number them.

Then he said to him, So shall your offspring be.

And he believed the Lord and he counted it to him as righteousness.

The title of my message is It Was All a Dream.

Can you do me a favor?

Can you just slap your neighbor and just say, It was all a dream?

Now don't rap, you're not a rapper, so you don't have to say, Read Word Up magazine.

Let me say, you don't gotta do all that.

Go on my hill, tell somebody it was all a dream.

Father, open up our eyes and our ears that we may receive a word from you that will change and transform our lives forevermore.

Hind me behind your cross.

Let your voice be louder than mine.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Everybody say, everybody say, Amen.

Amen.

It was all a dream.

I I love to take a nap.

Is there anybody here you like to take naps?

We're all my nap people in the room.

I love a good just anybody take a Sunday nap?

I mean, I mean, I mean, blanket, drool, off the side of the mouth, you know what I'm saying?

It's just just the temperature cool so that you can just snuggle up, you know what I'm saying?

And uh, and uh, I like to something gotta be playing on the TV for me.

I don't know how y'all can take a nap in Pure Silence.

I need law and order to be like bum, bum, bum, don, bum, bum, bum, bang, bang, bang, bang.

I just sit there and take a nap.

Anybody just love a good nap where you're at, man.

Hill, anybody love a good nap?

Naps are wonderful.

But here's the problem with a nap.

The problem with a nap is you can sleep too long.

Have you ever taken a nap and you went to sleep at 2 p.m.

and didn't wake up till 10 p.m.

at night?

And when you woke up, you said, Where am I?

How'd I get here?

What day is it?

That didn't happen, and you realize that you missed most of the day because you were supposed to sleep for just a moment, but you end up sleeping for a long time.

I think this is how many of us look spiritually.

I think when you look at your life, I see people who are stuck asleep for too long.

I'm looking at people that you're raising your kids, you go to work, you come to church, you do all the religious stuff, but you're sleep.

I'm watching you and I'm seeing that you are living a life.

You're you're doing the things that you're supposed to do, but the truth of the matter is that you are stuck asleep.

There are many of you in this room, life life on you, and you went to sleep and you haven't woken up yet.

You you were going through life and then there was a disappointment, and you went to sleep.

You you got hurt by somebody you love, and you said, I can't take any more.

I'm just gonna take a pause and you went to sleep.

For some of you in this room, you have just determined that that I tried to do something, it didn't work out.

And since it didn't work out, I'm just taking a pause on life right now, and I'm taking a nap in your sleep.

There are some of you in this room, you've been praying a prayer, believing God to give you something, to receive something, and it hasn't come your way yet.

And what you have done is you've gone to sleep.

But my assignment today on Welcome Home Sunday is to be your wake-up call.

Can I look at somebody?

Look at somebody and tell them, wake up, wake up.

My job is to be your alarm.

I am your spiritual alarm to tell you that it's time to wake up because you cannot fall asleep on a life that God's not done building yet.

You have fallen asleep on a life that heaven is still speaking over.

Heaven is not through with you, heaven is still building your life, and so this is not the time to sleep.

This is the time to wake up.

Can you push your neighbor and say, Wake up?

No, can you anoint them and agitate them and say, Wake up?

Come on, you gotta wake up, wake up your dream, wake up your expectation, wake up your prayer life, wake up your thoughts, wake up your heart, wake up your confession, wake up your boldness, wake up your favor, wake up your anointing.

Push your neighbor, say, wake up.

This is not the time to sleep.

Some of you are sleeping on your marriage and sleeping on your potential and sleeping on your your your future.

You are sleeping on your promises, and God is asking me to shake you and rock you, to rock you and shake you till you wake up out of that sleep and realize that God has more in store for your life.

Somebody shout, wake up in this place.

You you you you gotta wake up.

Wait up.

You cannot sleep through everything that's happening in your life.

Some of you say, Pastor, I don't understand.

How do you know if you're sleeping because you stopped dreaming?

You you stopped dreaming, you just cave up.

And what I've discovered is that you didn't stop dreaming because you just quit.

You stopped dreaming because dreaming started to hurt.

It hurts to dream of something and it doesn't come to pass.

Here's how I know you stop dreaming.

Because when I say, hey, hey, what up, man?

How you doing?

Man, you don't just survive.

You ask somebody how you doing?

Well, you know, man, just keep my head above water.

Making the way when I can.

Temporary layoffs, easy credit ripoffs.

Ain't we lucky we got?

I mean, come on now.

You ask somebody how they doing, man.

You know me, man, just trying to make it to Friday.

Man, how you feeling?

You know me, man, you know, just you know, trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.

I'm sorry, man, but Jesus did not die for you to make a dollar out of 15 cents.

Jesus didn't give his life for you to make it to Friday.

He gave his life not so you can keep your head above water, he gave his life so you can live and live in abundance so that you can walk in overflow, so that you can be an ambassador of Christ in the earth.

God puts you here, not just so you can survive the week, he puts you here because there's something that he's called you to do.

So I rebuke that mindset out of you.

No, no, push it up and say, Dream again.

This is why I read Genesis chapter 15.

Genesis 15 · chapter mention

Because when I read Genesis chapter 15, I see a Abraham who's just stopped dreaming.

Genesis 15 · chapter mention

And and and and pretty much don't make this conversation cute, by the way, Menhill.

Don't make this a cute, cuddly conversation.

This is not a cute, cuddly conversation.

Abraham perturbed.

In fact, I would say he's grieving.

He is grieving and he is frustrated.

Here's why he's frustrated.

Because God keeps talking to him about his future.

And the future involves children, but he ain't got no child yet.

And he's almost kind of like, I'm sick, I'm sick of you talking to me about it.

I don't want to hear it.

Where's the child?

Abraham is upset because he's like, hey, I you keep telling them I have a child.

When then?

Where?

How?

Some of you, you're not gonna admit this, but I'm gonna say it for you.

Some of you are upset with God.

And you're not upset with God because your life is bad.

You're upset with God because it doesn't reflect the dream you believe He gave you.

You gotta say, Amen.

I know what I'm talking about.

You you you you upset.

You upset, you're upset with God because when I look at my life, it don't reflect the prophecy I got when I was 10.

It don't reflect the dream I had when I was 21.

It don't reflect what I thought I saw when I was 18.

And I say to you what God was saying to Abraham.

This is my first point, write it down.

Don't let disappointment shrink your dream.

I'm giving you something that's gonna help your life.

Don't let disappointment shrink your dream.

You know what Abraham was saying in Genesis 15?

He said, God, I thought by now I'd have a child.

And I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I don't want to hear this conversation because you keep telling me, you keep calling me father, where the child at.

And there are many of you in this room, if if we if we could pull you to the side and and sneak to find out where your pain point is, here's where your pain point is.

This is not where I thought I'd be right now.

There's some of you in this room saying I thought I'd be married by now.

And I mean, when we say singles night, you want to throw up.

If I hear another singles night, I'm gonna just I don't want to hear it.

When I say turn to your neighbors, hey, a ring is coming, you be like, Yeah, whatever.

Yeah, I'm not turning to my neighbor.

This is stupid.

I thought I thought I'd have a child by now.

I thought I'd have a family by now.

I thought the business would have been taken off by now.

I I thought I'd have more clients by now.

God, why you make me come all the way to Charlotte and I'm still struggling?

I thought by now I'd have more in my bank account.

I thought by now I'd have more followers.

I thought by now I would have been at my degree.

I thought by now I'd be making a bigger impact.

I thought by now I'd have the house.

I thought by now, and there are many of you who are upset with God because you are not where you thought you would be, but you gotta rebuke the spirit of disappointment off of your life.

Come on, lay hands on your own self.

Say, I rebuke the spirit of disappointment.

Come on, let that sit.

Oh, say I rebuke the spirit of disappointment.

Some of you don't even want to say it, you so you struggling because that thing in your spirit is like uh it's a spirit of disappointment.

You know why it's a spirit of disappointment?

Because you and God see this very differently.

You be saying stuff like it's over, it's over.

God said, I'm just getting started.

We need to talk about God.

Said God said, What do you mean?

God said, I'm not tired.

The Bible says he never sleeps nor slumbers, he's always watching over your life.

Matter of fact, the Bible says, What does the scripture say?

How say uh a thousand years is like a day to the Lord, day like that.

God's like, wait, wait, it's long to you, but I'm just getting started.

You you say stuff like I know it's just it's just finished.

God says, finish it's over.

I don't even dare to whisper a word over to God.

How you gonna tell the alpha, the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end that something is over?

How you gonna tell the one outside of time, in time, got time in his hand that something's over.

What you mean something's over?

You you'll be saying it's impossible.

Impossible?

Don't make God laugh.

Stop telling God that it's impossible.

No, what you gotta do is what Abraham needed to do.

You gotta rebuke the spirit of disappointment.

Here's the question, Abraham.

Can you handle delay?

Can you handle delay?

I need everybody to say this.

Say I'm okay with delay.

Yep, yeah, got a whole attitude saying that I'm okay with delay.

I'm okay with delay.

Fine, say it this way.

Say I can handle delay.

You can handle delay.

You can handle delay.

Well, Pastor, why does God delay anything?

Why delay?

Here's why God delays, because of James chapter 1, verse 3.

James 1:3

I'm giving you some good stuff.

He says, Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

And you know what you need?

Perseverance.

You need, you know what perseverance is?

Perseverance.

Here's why you need perseverance.

You need perseverance because there's always pivots in life.

You are in a fallen world.

There's always a hurdle, always an obstacle, always a knucklehead, always somebody doing something they shouldn't have did, always somebody out of place, always something, and you gotta be able to have the spirit of perseverance that when there's a pivot, you don't break.

That when there's a reroute, you don't go back home.

You gotta have the ability to hear a yes from God, but see a no from man and stare man in the face and say, I heard what you said, but the spirit of perseverance won't let me walk away.

For some of you, the devil, if he wants to scare you, all he gotta do is give you a closed door.

And you are one closed door from leaving the church, going back to the club, drinking alcohol, getting drunk, all because of a closed door.

Where is the spirit of perseverance?

Since when does a closed door make you retreat?

You walked away from destiny because of a closed door?

Are you crazy?

You let a closed door make you forget what God said?

No, perseverance will make you stand in front of a closed door.

Perseverance will make you stand in the empty building and say this building will be filled.

Perseverance will make you stare at your bank account and say there's money coming to that bank, but I'm going to persevere.

Come on, say I'm okay with delay.

If delay makes you leave God, all you have proven is that you are dependent on the wrong thing.

If delay can make you run from God, all you have proven is that you are depending on the wrong thing.

I fly a lot.

I fly all the time, always at the airport.

And uh, if you ever fly, then you know that there's always a delay.

Can I get an amen for somebody?

Oh, it's a delay.

People being disappointed by delay, that is totally fine.

We're human, I don't care how safe you are.

Your human emotion is when you see a delay, it's gonna frustrate you.

I'm not mad at people who get frustrated with a delay.

What I get mad at are grown folk who throw a whole tantrum because of a delay.

I mean, we're all sitting at the airport and it's everybody's phone buzz, and we see this flight will delay.

And I mean a grown people.

Oh my god! Oh I'm so sick of this.

It's like you grown.

I mean, go to the counter.

Can I talk to somebody?

I want to talk to somebody.

Where's the pilot?

Oh my god, I I'll never come back to this.

What's your name?

Yeah, Natalie.

Don't Natalie is real.

They try to create a gang, like, aren't you late too?

Huh?

Aren't you gonna miss it too?

Oh, yeah, aren't you gonna be delayed too?

My God! Yo, staking man, it's like what I sit there and just sip my little coffee.

Because I'm frustrated, but I recognize if if there's a storm, yeah, let's not take off.

Leave me on the ground.

If there's a mechanical issue, thank God you found it now.

I don't want to, I don't want to get somewhere so fast that I'm willing to die before I get there.

What I've learned is that just because the flight got delayed don't mean I'm not getting to my destination.

All it means is that the arrival time wasn't the time that I thought.

And I came to preach to somebody in the room, you are still getting to your destination.

Just because the arrival time changed on you, it don't make a difference.

God gonna bring you where you're supposed to be, you're gonna get where you're supposed to go.

I got anybody in the middle of a delay that says, Fine, God.

If you delayed it for another year, that's fine.

As long as I get there, I just need to get there.

When I get there, fine.

I didn't get there at the time I thought, but just make sure I get there.

And I've seen people let a delay make them miss their flight.

I'm leaving, I'm leaving.

I I have watched people get off of a plane only for the plane to finally take off, and they try to jump back on.

Wait, wait, I thought you was leaving.

Uh what did God do?

God pulled Abraham, watch this.

Man, y'all with me?

He he said to Abraham, come out of that tent.

Come on outside.

This is the first time I let you say it.

Look at your neighbor and say, I'm going outside this week.

I'm outside.

Look at your neighbor.

Tell your mama, tell your mama you outside.

Tell your mama I'm outside this week.

You got scripture.

You I'm outside.

I'm Abraham.

God took him outside.

He said, He said, I want you, I want you to come out from that tent.

I want you to look at the sky.

I want you to start counting the stars.

I want you to start counting the stars, count the stars, count the stars, count the stars, look at the sky, look at the sky.

He said, You see all them stars?

That's how many children you're gonna have.

That's gonna be your offspring.

Why did God take him out of a tent?

Because before God changes your circumstance, he often changes your environment.

Why does he do that?

Here's my second point.

He wants to change what you're looking at.

Change what you're looking at.

Change what you are looking at.

Some of you are just staring at problems.

You got all the bills on the table, scratch your head every day.

Well, I don't know what we're gonna do.

Some of you, you got no money in your bank account and check it every three hours.

I don't know why you keep checking your balance.

Why?

Why you keep checking your you check your balance two times being here?

Just I just want to look at it again.

Just let me see one more.

You ever been waiting for a tax refund?

It's supposed to be direct deposit?

You know how disappointing every time you go looking, it's like, man, is that they said it was gonna come on Friday.

HR Block live.

Some of you are staring at a diagnosis.

You're staring at the divorce.

You're staring at the relationship that didn't work out.

You you staring at the foreclosure, you you staring at the repo, you're staring at the negative comments, you're staring at who betrayed.

You you staring at who left you, you staring at who walked out on you, and God says, Come from outside of that tent, Abraham, and go look at the stars and remember what I told you about your life.

Sometimes you gotta bury your head in this Bible so that you can look at the stars instead of looking at the problems in your life.

Abraham saw stars before he saw sons, and you gotta get comfortable with seeing the vision before you see the manifestation.

You gotta get comfortable with seeing the stars and praising him because even though I don't have it yet, the stars are a sign that it's on the way, and you gotta learn how to praise him for the stars before your sons ever get here.

Because we are believers and we don't wait until a battle is over, we shout before it happens.

That's why the Bible says in Psalm 121, verse 1 and 2, it says, I lift up my eyes, I lift up my eyes to the hill where my help comes from.

Psalms 121:1

My help come from the Lord who made heaven.

Lift up your eyes.

That's why we tell you to come to church.

We ask you to come to church because you need to come here because for 75 minutes we make you lift up your eyes.

I know the chairs are tight.

I know the the walk is long from your car to the door, but I'm asking you to come here because before you start your week, you need to come here and lift up your eyes.

That's why we worship, so you can lift up your eyes.

That's why we're singing and dancing, so you can lift up your eyes.

That's why the lyrics are on the screen, so you can sing it and say it and lift up your eyes.

That's why we're preaching all these services, so you can lift up your eyes.

That's why we say get in the group during the week, so you can lift up your eyes.

That's why we say go on the growth track, serve on the team, make a move.

Why?

I'm trying to get you to lift up your eyes because your help does not come from a liquor bottle, your help does not come from inside of a club, your help does not come from the golf club, your help does not come from your six-figure salary, your help does not come from your curves or your body, your help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

He is your way maker, he is your miracle worker, he is your promise keeper, he is your light in the darkness, he is your sustainer, he is your shelter, he is your rock of ages, he is you, you he's the one that's been carrying you, and you got to look up to remind yourself.

I know where my help comes from, I know where my help comes from.

My help comes from the Lord.

You gotta get somewhere, lift up your eyes so that you can see what God is trying to do in your life.

My my my kids, when they were younger, they would uh when we were going a long road trip.

Were y'all getting somebody?

Wait at me, many of y'all getting somebody and my kids were going on a long road trip, they would look out the window.

I mean, we would just be driving.

It was like wow, dad.

Oh wow, look at the cows, look at the sky.

They would they would they would we would be in the back rows of North Carolina and we see cows and daddy?

Look at the cows.

Now that my kids are older, they just look at their tablets, headphones on, looking down at their tablets, and I've said to my kids, I've been driving, I said, Did y'all see that?

Did y'all see that?

I said, I said, see what, Daddy?

And I'm like, we just passed a bunch of cows.

Oh, that's nice, Daddy.

And I said to my kids, put the tablet down, put the tablet down, put the tablet down, like daddy.

What are we gonna do?

Look out the window.

Look out the window, okay.

God is saying, Did you see what I just did?

But you like, what did you do, God?

Because you're so busy looking at the problem.

God said, Can you put that problem down for a second?

Because if you put the problem down, you'll see cows, you'll see grass, you'll see the sun, you'll see that things are starting to get better, but you don't notice because you keep staring at the problem.

But if you lift up your eyes to the hills where your help comes from, you will learn that God is actually doing more than you're giving him credit for.

God is doing more than you think.

But we gotta get your head up so that you can see it.

Here's my last point.

God says to Abraham, he says, go out there and count.

Count the stars.

Count them.

And Abraham out there, go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Three, four, five, six, seven.

Four, five, six, seven, eight.

Six, seven, eight.

Seven, eight.

Get that off.

That's bad.

That's bad.

Something took over.

That's not rebuke that all.

I rebuke whatever that is, that ain't God.

Because I had to finish.

I rebuke that.

I have self-control.

He's out there counting the stars, and he's getting lost counting the stars.

He's saying, God, one, I can't, I can't even count the amount of stars that you're showing me.

God said, exactly.

God says, I'm trying to blow your mind.

And here's my last point: God's dream is bigger than what you imagine.

Yeah, I want you to receive that.

Receive that.

Receive that.

Receive that.

God's dream is bigger than what you imagine.

Minthil, I should get an amen.

Minthill, somebody should say hallelujah.

Minthill, somebody should wave at the say, wave at me or something.

Because the reality of it is, is that Abraham is asking God for a son, but God's trying to give him a nation.

Abraham's thinking about a baby boy, God's thinking about his bloodline.

And what we realize is that what Abraham was calling a blessing, God was calling the beginning.

What if what you're calling a blessing is just the beginning of what God wants to do in your life?

I need everybody listen to me.

If you miss everything I said, don't miss this.

I'm not here to tell you that your life is terrible.

Some of you, you live a great life.

You got a great house, great marriage.

Some of you in this room, you got money in the bank.

Some of you in this room, you're as happy as that baby is back there.

Just some of you, you have a really good life.

Stop thinking everybody in church's life is terrible.

That's not true.

Some people in here, you live a very good life.

But even a good life can become too small if God is calling you to something greater.

Do you hear what I'm saying to you?

I get it, you built a good life.

But even a good life becomes too small when God is calling you to something greater.

Some of you in this room, sin ain't your problem.

You are responsible, you saved, you're disciplined, you ain't sleeping with nobody you're not supposed to sleep with, you ain't drink enough, you're not supposed to drink, you ain't smoking enough, you're not supposed to smoke.

You you live in a nice life, you are saved.

God said, I love your integrity, I love your righteousness.

He said, I got one problem with you.

You stop asking this one question.

Is there more?

And some of you in this room, you you you you you got the salary, you you you you got the money in the account, you you got the hottest chick in the game, we're in your chain.

But God said, You stop asking, is there more?

You have taken a blessing and made it your life, and God said, I didn't bless you with that so you can stop building here.

God said, I didn't give you that so that you can just hang off to a promise right here.

No, God said there's more.

Look at somebody say there's more.

God says, I love where you are, but there's more.

You gotta sit down with yourself and say, God, did I stop too early?

Did I turn something that was momentary into something that was supposed to be for eternity?

No, God says, Hey, I need you to keep asking, I need you to keep seeking, I need you to keep searching.

Here's what the Bible says, Ephesians chapter 3, verse 20.

Ephesians 3:20

It says, Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to his power at work within us.

God always wants to do more.

When I found that lease space, y'all don't know how happy I was.

I was sitting there looking at office desks and tables, and I was like, Man, we're gonna build a church in this place.

It was 35,000 square feet, and the person said, Man, I think you can get about a thousand seats in here.

I started crying.

I said, God, I just if you can just give us a building with a thousand seats, God, I'm gonna shout all over God's heaven.

Little did I know he had a 2400-seat auditorium that had my name on it because God said, Now that you gave me your imagination, God said, That's your imagination.

But let me show you what I was dreaming, let me show you what I was thinking, let me show you what I had for you.

And I came to preach to somebody that whatever you've been dreaming about, God got something bigger than that, God got something better than that, God can multiply that.

The irony that the building we're positioned to purchase is a school.

Last year, all I was praying was, God, give me a school.

Now I was really saying give me a school to rent.

But when I say give me a school, heaven didn't hear a school to rent.

He heard there's a school to purchase, and I came to preach to somebody.

You might be praying something, but heaven took that prayer and multiplied it.

Heaven took that prayer and expanded it.

Come on, somebody say anything is possible.

Come on, say anything.

Come on in here, somebody say anything.

Say anything is possible who am I?

Come on, anything's possible Say anything is possible Oh, anything is possible Who am I?

Here's my concern.

My concern is that you are too comfortable to go for more.

My concern is that you are so comfortable with mediocrity, you are so comfortable with average, you are so comfortable with less than that the idea of God giving you more and doing more with your life, it don't even hit your mind.

But I came to snatch that blanket off your behind, I came to throw that pillow away, and I came to tell you to get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, dream again, pray again, ask again, speak again, knock again, go back, get up, get up, wake up, speak again, dream again, bounce again, wait again, praise again, worship again, write it again, down it again, see it again, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, who am I, who am it?

Get it in it and come on, everybody sit, sit, sit, sit, been here, sit, sit, sit, sit.

Everybody pray this prayer and say, Holy Spirit, speak to me.

Your servant is listening.

Here's the question they need to ask the Lord.

Is there more?

Come on, have a personal moment in here with God and ask him, Lord, is there more?

Have I stopped dreaming?

Have I settled too soon?

Have I limited your power?

Is there more impact I'm supposed to have?

Are there more children I'm supposed to bless?

Is there more things I'm supposed to raise?

Is there is there more I'm supposed to add?

God, don't let me stop too early.

What is it that you're asking me to do?

Because God, you can trust me.

Now be a good steward of everything you put in my hand.

If you're in this room, if you're a mint hill and you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you've been in this room for 75 minutes, and you have been thinking, man, maybe today is the day that I make a recommitment to my life to the Lord.

If you're in this room and you have yet to say yes to Jesus, meaning you have that not admitted that you're a sinner and accepted that the only way to be free from my sin is for Jesus Christ, who was the propitiation, who paid the price for my sin, that I have to receive what he did for me on that cross, and that believe, if I believe, if I believe, if I if I if I believe, if I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, that I shall be saved.

That's you, and you want to be saved today.

With every head bowed and every eye closed, come on, man.

Uh let me see your hand.

Just throw your hand up.

I see that hand all over this room.

I see that hand all over this room.

If you don't mind, I'm gonna have my host throw a card in your hand, but keep your hand up.

If you, if you if you're already saved, can you pray during this moment?

Can you not leave me by myself?

I got some people who are warring for their soul.

Can you pray for them, man?

Hill right now.

There's some people in that room, and we gotta pray them through.

If you want to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life today, can you just lift your hand so I can see that hand?

Come on, just lift your hand so I can see that hand.

I see that hand, sister.

I see that hand, brother.

I see that hand, daughter, I see that hand, I see that hand.

If you're in this room and you're saying, hey, I'm saved, but but I'm lost right now.

I have not uh followed through with this God thing.

I know that I came to an altar, I know that I've responded to a salvation call before, but I need to recommit because I've just been far away from where God wants me.

If that's you, can you raise your hand right now and say I'm recommending my life today?

If that's you, can you raise your hand?

I see that hand.

Say today I'm recommitting my life.

I see your hand, brother.

I see your hand, I'm recommitting my life today.

If you prayed and raised your hand on any of those moments, I'm gonna lead you in a prayer of salvation right now, and your union family is gonna pray this prayer with you.

Come on, men heel, let's all pray this prayer together.

Ready?

Let's go.

Say, Father, thank you for loving me.

Thank you for sending your son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die for me.

Today, I surrender my life.

I believe Jesus is Lord, and today I make you the ruler of my life.

Come into my heart, save me now.

I am yours, and you are mine.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Can you make some noise and shout amen, men heel?

Can you shout for every person that has come home?

Somebody shout hallelujah!
