the intention of this series is to help
you to help every person in here no
matter what level you’re on right now to
go to another level in your devotion to
God to learn how to desire to be devoted
to God to learn that it’s not always a
desire sometimes it’s a discipline of
being devoted y’all know sometimes we
want to want to get in the presence of
God we want to pray I don’t want to do
that sometimes you’re not going to want
to and sometimes it’s going to be a
discipline of devotion we’re going to
talk about through this series that it’s
gonna have to be dedication and then I’m
gonna give you practical application
because the one thing I hate is people
who get up here and tell you what you
need to do and they don’t tell you how
to do it and so we will never do that at
transformation Church if I spend any
time I’m gonna spend more time telling
you how to do it then what to do because
if we can’t apply this in our lives it’s
of not we literally just waste our time
every Sunday okay we want this to be
applied to your life and so let’s talk
about this word devotion real quick
write that down if you’re taking notes
of devotion it’s a word that most of you
have not said all year long think about
the last time you use the word devotion
in a sentence many of us don’t use that
word but we are devoted to certain
things the word devoted has three
primary the definition of devotion has
three primary components it means that
you are that you love are loyal and
enthusiastic for a person activity or a
cause love loyalty and enthusiasm for a
person activity or a cause yell at me
right now some of the things that you
love are loyal to and are enthusiastic
about come on somebody sushi somebody
said my man my man okay what else are
you a football golfing coffee come on
what you say pokemons go what okay
music now watch now watch
many of us have those three components
in many areas of our life I think about
this football starts today and some of
the men said God is here like okay
football starts today and there are men
that aren’t devoted to taking a shower
I’m devoted to going to a job but for
the next 16 weeks they are going to be
devoted to watching some people they
don’t know none of them know you you
have their Jersey they don’t have yours
okay they’re gonna be devoted to
watching people play a game now some of
y’all will think about that but some
ladies are devoted to shopping
y’all know when the set you know right
when is about to go on sale like how
many y’all got things that you’ve been
watching it go down 50 percent 65
percent 75 percent I’m coming back for
the 80 percent like y’all know exactly
when stuff is about to happen um some of
us are devoted to our children some of
us are devoted to our marriage and this
is a thing that I want everybody to
understand that a lot of preachers and
pastors go too hard on this part of it
they say you know I’m saying you devote
it to things wrong but you only need to
be devoted to God no no God just wants
you to be devoted to him first see it’s
not that we can’t be devoted to other
things that we can’t love be loyal to be
enthusiastic about other things but God
is saying I have to be in the first spot
and then everything else can flow he
says I’ll even bless it matter of fact
I’ll even add it to you Matthew 6:33
says if you just seek first the kingdom
my interest what I want I will literally
bring you football tickets bring you a
husband be able I will do it but you
just have to make me priority and many
of us we go after the things instead of
the king
and so we get the results of being with
things that’s temporary and we don’t get
the benefit of having the King bless
everything that we do so what we’re
gonna do through this series is walk
through how we can be more devoted and
again that’s love loyalty and enthusiasm
when I say love that’s not just a
buzzword anymore
if you were here last week you have a
whole different perspective on what the
word l.o.v.e means we have to learn
about God obey God verbalize our love
for God and then evolve we have to
change when we talk about we love you
God that is not just a word that we say
in songs that is an action word from
this point on and so we need to love God
more the other thing is we need to be
loyal to him and this is let me use
another word we have to be faithful to
him we have to be in relationship with
him consistently I don’t know how many
people in our day and age try to have
relationships with people and they call
it just being friends okay some of y’all
old school don’t know nothing about this
but but for the young people
y’all know like it’s like we just
friends and what that really means is
that we want to do everything like we’re
loyal to each other but at the moment
that it crosses the line of my
comfortability I can back out because
we’re just and so what happens – it
kills the key ingredient to a successful
relationship with this being faithful
which is being loyal which is continuing
to communicate and have allegiance to
the same person and that’s what God
wants for us he just says I want you to
be faithful to me I want us to be able
to have communication and I want to know
we’re gonna talk today but we not the
next time we’re gonna talk is not a
month from now we’re gonna see see when
you’re just friends
I can talk to you today and not even
think about you for another year and
then when I need you that’s when I call
and they’d be like well what happened I
thought you like yeah it ain’t even all
that remember which
fritzsche what God is saying he wants to
be more than just a friend to you he
wants to be somebody who is consistent
with you and you are consistent with him
and that means we have to be loyal to
communicating with God the other part of
that is enthusiastic enthusiasm
excitement do you get enjoyment out of
being with God
see these are things that people don’t
usually talk about because it pushes
buttons on all of our radars the one
talking the pastor the what the man of
God is up here saying you know what I
have to go to another level in my
devotion I don’t want anybody to think
that we anybody in this room has arrived
because God goes from grace to grace and
glory to glory we all have levels to go
to so I want everybody to understand if
you’re not at this level right now of
devotion where you love God you’re
enthusiastic about it you’re loyal to
him
it’s okay that’s why you’re here and
that’s why I’m here because I want to
help you by the end of this series you
are going to know practically how you
can be better devoted to God is it gonna
take something of you yeah but it’s the
end result better than what you’re
experiencing now I promise you it is and
so I want everybody in this room to be
devoted to God and let me say it like
this if you are a Christ follower aka a
Christian you’re supposed to be devoted
to God that’s what God expects of us but
he doesn’t just leave us out here and
say be devoted to me love me keep my
commands do all this other stuff and
just leave us in this place he helps us
every step of the way and so the
question I want you to ask yourself
right now not out loud but after I tell
you what devotion is ask yourself am I
devoted to God and give yourself an
answer okay you don’t got us some of
y’all here it’s starting to move don’t
move your head don’t let your neighbor
know but I want you to know because we
don’t all have to be aware but you have
to be self aware God can never move you
from a place you don’t acknowledge
you’re at
and so I want you to acknowledge where
you’re at right now you know what I
could grow in my devotion you know what
I feel like I’m doing pretty good but I
could keep going to the next wherever
you’re at I want you to know because I
promise you if you listen to the word
and stay a part of this series the whole
way God is going to take you to a whole
nother level in your devotion to him and
when I say devotion I’m not talking
about a religious ritual I’m talking
about relationship responsibilities I
don’t tell my wife I love her out of
ritual babe I love you today babe you
are lovely I love you today
that’s ritual and that’s what many
people do in their relationship with God
is Sunday got to go to church why cuz I
got to I got to praise I got to pray I
got a worship I got to see the Bible
says don’t forsake but there’s no life
in there there’s no love in that there’s
no real enthusiasm about that
and God said you can just keep that
that’s not exciting to me I remember one
time where I gave my wife a gift that
was kind of forced like like she
basically laid every crumb trail for me
to get her this gift and then finally I
was like here babe here’s the gift she’s
like take it back looks like no no no no
no not after all that work not after all
that she said you didn’t even want to do
it you did it because it’s what I asked
for but you didn’t even want to do maybe
that many of our lives when we’re saying
we’re devoted to God is not what we want
to do is what we feel like we have to do
come on let’s be real I want to take
that out of the equation I want to
worship in a church where it’s people
who want to worship God not who are
forced to and many times churches and
pastors and denominations have tried to
control us by telling us what we have to
do or this is gonna happen what I’m
saying to every person in this place
that God loves you so much that he’s
already proven it to you by sending his
son and now he wants you to respond to
it and the proper response is love but
it’s love continually it’s not at a
moment it’s continually
we have to get devoted to God so when we
think about this this is not about
perfection this is about progression so
all of us are going to continue to move
forward and for a lot of you this is a
season of reevaluating because there was
a season where you were more devoted to
God but then seasons changed have you
ever been in a season and you didn’t
realize that the seasons changed like
some of y’all went outside in shorts and
and then you realize hold on this fall
out here and your knees is ashy and
stuff is changing because it changed on
you but you didn’t change with the
season many of us in our devotions lives
we haven’t recognized the season chain
like I used to be so devoted before the
business blew up or before we had these
kids I always had my prayer time on lock
or you know what I mean I really loved
worshiping God but since I got this new
school schedule or work schedule it just
seems like and many times we don’t
realize that our seasons are changing
this is the thing that we have to
realize and it is a truth that you have
to be able to be aware of that even
though life changes your connection with
God can never change I want to help you
because this is where we get to places
like house ahead then I get down here in
this situation because we stop
connecting to God one thing that God
told me he said when I bless you don’t
stop coming to me wait wait cuz you know
when you gets written when everybody
turn left you when it’s just you and God
you just sitting there rocking all God
is just me and you I Love You Father
good day you seeing all your own words
you praying you showed up to devotion on
time you watching sermons online you do
all these other things and then when you
get the breakthrough Oh am I the only
one when you get the break doors like
thanks daddy
I’m blessed like I’m in this whole
nother world where I don’t need to be
connected to God anymore and that’s what
happens when we’re not devoted when it’s
not a consistent thing when it’s based
on our circumstance or our need and what
I’m saying is yes we do have
circumstances and we do have needs but
it’s much easier to always be connected
to the source than to have to always
come back to the source okay and so
that’s what this series is about um I
want everybody to see how I’m about to
do this because we titled the series
charged up and basically I want to use
this whole series as teaching how Jesus
would do it if you ever studied the
teachings of Jesus he would use parables
and metaphors of the time to be able to
explain um big truths in simple ways
because people would know how to relate
so he would always use farming examples
like reaping and sowing that wasn’t just
because he wanted you to understand
reaping and sowing is because the people
back then were farmers so they
understood reaping and sowing so if he
was giving it now he would talk probably
technology because all of us use
technology so that’s what I’m gonna do
so in this series we’re going to use
technology to be able to bring a big
truth and make it a very simple of how
we’re supposed to connect to God so if
you have a smartphone I want you to pull
it out right now get it out your purse
if you have a smartphone if you have a
dumb phone go ahead and pull that out as
well a remedial phone whichever phone
that you do have I want you to pull it
up and once you pull it up want you to
put it in the air right now come on put
it in the air if you got your smart
phone okay then I want you to wave it
around here we go wave it up in
I said wave it like you just don’t care
if you pay your bill and you got service
let me hear you say oh yeah there you go
some of y’all don’t pay your bill your
mom pays your now I’m just playing okay
now this phone your smartphone is about
to become an instrument that God is
going to minister to you through for the
next about four weeks God has started to
download to me analogies of how these
things work and what we’re supposed to
use these things for that are going to
help us understand staying connected to
God so I want you to prophesy to your
phone right now I want you to say phone
speak to me I’m listening now put it up
to your ear and say hello okay I’m just
flame okay so but I’m telling you you’re
gonna start getting revelation through
this charged up series that’s gonna
speak to you and I’m nowhere around and
God’s about to show you something that
phone in this series represents you okay
your phone represents you that phone was
created by a creator Apple Sony HTC
Samsung whatever you got you were
created by a creator that phone was
created with purpose you were created
with purpose before he formed you in his
mother’s womb he knew you he had plans
for you to prosper you and not to harm
you to give you a hope in a future you
have purpose somebody say I have purpose
even if the purpose never is fulfilled
you were created with purpose okay just
like this phone you were beautifully and
wonderfully made come on the phones
today does anybody remember them first
brick phones and then how many members
are Nokia is that you plays snake on you
understand what I’m saying
ugly phones look at the phones that are
created now distinct in their their um
dimensions and they’re all the different
things that happen they were created
beautifully and wonderfully just like
you these phones every single one of
these phone has the ability to touch the
world on the inside of every one of
these phone I can call South Africa
right now do you know that there’s the
potential on in the inside of you that
God has placed something on the inside
of you that can literally go around this
world and touch the entire globe that’s
in you this phone as well as you is full
of potential
do you know the things a phone can do
today you can explain exchange stock you
can call a car you can plan a business
meeting you can literally take pictures
and create videos for your family there
is literally endless options of
potential that you can do with your
phone do you know that’s the same thing
with your life in this potential so much
inside of you that you’ve never even
tapped on how many people have apps on
their phone that they’ve never used look
at you there’s things on the inside of
you that have never been tapped before
there are things that are waiting to
revolutionize the you the way that you
are effective but has not been even
touched yet just like your phone you
were chosen every one of us chose the
phone that we have just like God chose
you
he called you joint hairs and he called
you my chosen people and just like that
phone you were bought with a price
don’t make me preach this in here
nobody has a phone that was free even if
they told you was for you paying in it
in your contract they tricked you but
there was a price that was prayed when
Jesus came to this earth to save us all
we were bought with the price so when
you look at your phone and you look at
your life there’s so many other
parallels and we could literally I could
spend the next 20 minutes drawing
parallels but this is what I want to
talk about today is that no matter how
much your phone can do how much
potential it has no matter how much it
can change everything around you that
phone is of no use unless it hooks to a
power source I want you to understand
that the same is applicable for your
life that everything that you want to do
the potential that God has placed on the
inside of you to touch the entire world
the things the creativity all of the
things that you feel when you go to
sleep and you wake up with it is of no
and void if you do not connect to the
power of God so today the title of the
message is power source power source I
want everybody to get connected to God
and I want us to realize that we will
only be able to have limited
effectiveness in whatever we’re doing
until we truly and continually plug into
the power source somebody say power
source have you ever been somewhere and
you are at the moment of doing something
very crucial and your phone went dead I
mean there’s a few that are worse than
others though like when you’re getting
directions through a Maps or Google Maps
or Siri and you’ve never been to the
place before and you’re following it and
literally right before
you get there the phone dies and
literally now you’re praying they’re
like Lord be my GPS jesus take the wheel
cuz I do not know how to get to this
place or what about when you’re at your
child’s or your grandchild recital and
you’ve been recording all these horrible
kids singing and now your person about
to get up there and right when they open
up that mouth yes and then it falls and
your phone goes dead that’s devastating
or what about when you and your loved
one are in a let’s call it um heated
communication and y’all are about to hit
the resolve and you send a very long
text message that has all your heart in
it and right y’all know what I’m talking
about and right before you hit sin
the battery dies every one of those
situations and circumstances are what we
call devastating because until I find a
power source to connect to all of the
potential that was about to be created
is completely stopped the question is
what do we do to go get a power source
many of us have tons of them just
sitting everywhere how many people have
a charger in your car okay at your house
by your bed on your living room some of
y’all got portable chargers some of
y’all get mo fees y’all know what those
are it’s like a charger inside the case
we walking around because we cannot let
this phone die
I think about that in our lives and are
some of us trying to do functions like
marriage work a job raise kids go to
school live pure lives but we’re running
on no charge
and it’s crazy because you can act like
you’re doing something on the phone when
nothing’s happening and many people are
holding their devices no power many
people are going through life no power
today I want you to connect to the
source and this is what I want you to
know point one is that every person in
here you need power to live this life
you need power to live this life life is
real I don’t know your personal
situations but all of us deal with real
situations in our life from our families
to our jobs our purpose to our careers
and life is real we deal with comparison
we deal with sin we deal with all kinds
of stuff that we need the power of God
to help us deal with and many of us are
drained if I was really to talk to you
one-on-one without everybody around and
talk to you about what are the things
that are feeding you and what are the
things that are draining you a lot of us
are drained doing the work of the
ministry can drain you being a mother a
father work in that job doing these
things can train you how many of you
have an area of your life right now that
is draining you let’s be honest an area
of your life listen that’s life and see
there’s no real cute story or poem or
just scripture I can give you too cuz
everybody wants life to go away but
Jesus was so done with it that he wanted
us to see everything that we would deal
with coming so he said in this life you
will have trouble but take courage
because I’ve already overcome the world
so I want everybody to know that life is
real but God is realer if that if I can
say it like that
he’s already overcome the situations
that are
I have gone on in your life but now we
have to plug in to the source the power
source and so who is the power source
point number two I’m gonna be very
elementary in this so you can get it
the power source is God God is your
power source why are you saying that
Pastor Mike because we try to make other
things our power source you try to make
people your power source come on I just
need them to encourage me I just need
them to affirm me I just need them to
give me a position I just need another
job title I just need and we’re trying
to get enthusiastic we’re trying to get
get what we need to get to feel like we
can continue to go from somebody who
doesn’t even have the capacity to fund
us with the power some of us try to get
our power from our marriage and we’re
supposed to be giving to that thing but
we don’t have anything to give some of
us are trying to get powered by pop
culture what Wayne is doing what Nikki’s
doing what the Kardashians are doing
what this this gives me identity this
gives me purpose I’m in your house cuz
it’s real and what happens is that we
find out that those things try to give
us a little pep but it doesn’t keep us
going
but what God’s saying is if you would
ever get the audacity to consistently
and continually plug into me I will be
the power source that will never ever
run dry I will be the thing that when
you plug in to me it will begin to
change the way that you operate that you
move that you function how efficient you
are that’s what God wants to be to you
he wants to be your power source look at
2nd Peter chapter 1 verse 3 2nd Peter
chapter 1 verse 3 I want you to
understand that in this life those
things that come to drain you that on
top of all of that the enemy comes to
drain you
that’s what it says in John 10:10 that
the thief comes to steal kill and
destroy or drain you but Christ came
that we might have life and life more
abundantly to the full another
translation says charged-up
there’s nothing like seeing your battery
with a hundred percent in that little
green on battery why cuz you know you
can go off of that charge what God says
is I did not come for you to live a half
full life or a low battery life
I came to for you to live charged up I
came to keep you continually supplied
with what you need to live this life and
that’s why he said that I came that you
might have life not exist see most of us
say God came so that I might exist and
exist more abundantly many of us have
not started living we’ve just been
existing God says I want you to change I
want you to be food I want you to be
charged up but you got to connect to the
power source
first Peter I mean second Peter chapter
1 verse 3 let’s find out who the power
source is it’s God it says His divine
power whose divine power God’s his so he
is a power source all to himself now it
gets sweeter
he says his divine power has given who
us now God is giving us an opportunity
to plug into the power that he has look
at it he’s given us everything we need
for a godly life that should be
encouragement to everybody in this room
oh my god I don’t know how I’m gonna do
this I don’t know how I’m gonna do this
I don’t know how I’m gonna get through
this God saying I’m a power source that
I through what I’ve done on the cross
I’ve given you made available to you
every thing that you need to live this
life to stay charged up to live it to
the full look at it and it says through
the knowledge of him who called you are
called us by his own glory and goodness
when we get saved let me just break this
down when we get saved
we get an unlimited access to power
when you say Christ I’m putting my faith
in you now you get access to power
somebody shout power at me okay I want
you to see this so clearly because
access to power does not mean that you
plugged in here me many people can have
access to something but never use it but
when you get saved you get access to the
power but are you using it give an
example me and my wife we remodeled a
home and before we owned the home I used
to break into the home to dream I just
told on myself they left the door little
unlocked so I go in there all the time
pray all over it
look at where stuff was gonna be and
there was no power in the house um and
when we actually purchased the house I
went down to a EP and I made a decision
and I paid a price and then I was able
to receive power to the house kind of
like our Christian walk when we make a
decision to believe Jesus Christ is Lord
then and we and there was something paid
Christ paid the bill then we get the
ability to receive power so now power is
coming to the house but it’s not until I
take something and plug it into it that
I get to see the benefits of the power
that I have access to I want everybody
to realize what I’m saying to you many
of you and many Christians have access
to the power of God but we have not
plugged into it
point-blank period coming to church is
not the thing that’s going to plug you
into the power source it’ll get you
enthusiastic about it it’ll be a be a
good kick starter but it’s what you do
tomorrow it’s what you do on Tuesday and
Wednesday and Thursday
that makes the transfer be able to
happen this is why I want you to
understand very clearly as we’re
starting this series and I’m just laying
the foundation for you today to
understand that we’re gonna plug into
something that is strong that is able to
handle our situations God is our power
source do you know this power source was
here before us it’s been here before us
and it’ll be here after us that’s why
the word says it like this in John 1:1
it says in the beginning the word
already existed it was the word and the
Word was with God and the Word was God
God is the power source that’s gonna
help you handle your job your family
your marriage you’ll send issues your
wrong habits he’s the power source so we
have to plug in to him and so this is
what I want you to know as I talk about
the source today cuz the rest of these
weeks I’m gonna tell you how we’re gonna
plug in the different connections and
all those different things but I just
want to give you three attributes of
God’s power the first one is that God’s
power is dependable God’s power is
dependable you need to know this because
many of us are scared to really give our
lives fully over to God because we don’t
know if it’ll work I hear that more than
I tried before and it just didn’t work
out the right way or you know I’m saying
I really want to give this a shot and
what God is saying to all of us is my
word and my power is dependable look at
Hebrews chapter 1 verse 3 it says the
son is the radiance of God’s glory and
the exact representation of his being
sustaining all things by his powerful
word what God is saying to you is
everything you’ve experienced in this
life I’m sustaining with the word that I
spoke do y’all know in the beginning God
spoke let there be light do you know
that the son is still being sustained by
the word that was spoken by God
it’s dependable do you know when he said
I’m gonna form man in my image that I’m
a breed do you know you’re created
because God spoke a system of creation
into place and it’s sustaining
everything right now I need you to
recognize that the power of God in your
life is dependable it’s more dependable
than the banking system it’s more
dependable than your family is more than
dependable then who’s gonna be the
President of the United States the power
of God is everybody say dependable and
this is what it says after he had
provided purification for sins he sat
down at the right hand of the Father
Jesus was so cold with it that he said
listen I’m gonna make sure they have
access to this power then I’m gonna sit
down because everything they need to
live this life they can have if they
just connect to God I’m done doing work
I died once I ain’t dying again I am
finished with this that’s why you said
at it it is finished it’s done they got
access to power all they need to do is
receive what I’ve already paid for and
they need to plug in to the power source
does everybody somebody say plug into
the source
that’s why isaiah 40:8 40 on verse 8
says the grass withers and the flowers
fall said things change but the word of
our God endures forever
it’s dependable Psalms 1830 says as for
God his ways is perfect the Lord’s word
is flawless
he shields all who take refuge in him I
just want you to understand that as we
go through this process of getting
charged up plugging into God is the most
dependable thing that you could ever do
what do you mean plugging into God
reading your word praying worshiping
being devoted displaying your love
displaying your loyalty being
enthusiastic it’s the most dependable
thing that you could put your effort and
energy into because it will never fail
God says I’m looking for my word to
perform
I’m looking for people who are plugged
into the source so that I can bring to
pass the things they are believing me
for Pastor Mike why are you going so
hard on this devotion and plugging into
the source and knowing what God is
because I want you to understand that
when you really really really understand
how much God can do for you
you won’t go looking for other things to
plug in too many of us go to alcohol and
drinks and parties and and money and all
these things trying to fulfill something
that only God can empower in us so I
want you to hear me say this God’s power
is dependable
the second thing God’s power is
transferable this is the awesome thing
about the power of God it’s not that
he’s sitting there saying I’m
all-powerful worship me I am the
powerful God of the universe he said you
know what I got to give this to you cuz
I’m up here in heaven and everything’s
already taken care of but I know what
you’re dealing with there on earth so I
need you to have the same power the
divine nature the ability to be able to
go when my flesh wants to do something
that’s wrong and I need to do something
that’s right I need you have the power
to be able to do that and I know it’s
not in you so I’m going to transfer my
power to you watch this look at the rest
of 2nd Peter chapter 1 verse 3 and 4 it
says by His divine power he’s given us
everything we need to live this godly
life through the knowledge of him who
called us by his own glory and goodness
look at verse 4 through these he has
given us his great and precious promises
that is the Word of God that is the
Bible so that through them okay so
through the word we can participate we
can be able to have the same thing that
he has in the divine nature having
escaped the corruption in the world
caused by evil desires let me help you
understand this God says I got power
right here you need power over here so
what
I do is I’m going to give you a line
that connects from my power source to
you every one of our devices has to have
some type of cable to be able to go from
the power source to the device
some of us USB chargers some of us I’m
lightning bolt charges I don’t care what
it is but you have to go from the power
source to the device what God says is I
got power divine power you need power
divine power imma give you the
connection and it’s the Word of God
that’s what this just says he says when
you need power
he said you connect to my word and I
will give you the ability through my
word the great and precious promises to
participate in my divine nature that’s
why the enemy fights you so hard for
getting in the Word of God I’m trying to
give you the secret to life I don’t like
reading the Bible I just can’t find time
and that’s why you’re so depleted in
every area of your life because that is
how you connect to power that does not
come in this flesh and how do I stand up
against this girl who’s just coming in
Paestum I see bad in every area I mean
she’s just like mm-hmm
she popping everywhere and god I just
want to bless her and touch her and lay
hands on a guy and I just don’t know
what to do
God says I got to define power to make
you be able to not do that but she’s
sitting over here saying Jesus please
Jesus please Jesus please he said you
need to get the right connection when
you get into the word he then transfers
His divine power how are you gonna go to
that job every day and deal with them
crazy people that you get connected to
the power source and through the Word of
God he’s gonna transfer divine power
guess what his divine power how it comes
out in the fruits of the spirit love joy
peace patience and that you don’t get
that by wishing for it I can sit here
and wish my phone to charge up all day
Lord please just let it come back oh god
I just wish God you know I gotta make
phone calls but until I connect it to
the power source
God’s power is transferable to you but
it only transfers through his word I’m
gonna teach you in other weeks how to
really start loving the Word of God see
this I’m a pastor I don’t want to just
tell you stuff and then say go out and
try it I want to give you the truth but
I want to help you be able to do it guys
the things that God’s called you to the
potential he wants you to see out the
people you’re supposed to change the
songs you’re supposed to write the books
that are supposed to touch the world
they impact the cures for diseases all
of those things are not going to happen
in the way that we want them to happen
until we plug into the power source I’m
a living witness that God will wreck
your dreams for his purpose he’ll wreck
your dreams for his purpose but how do
you deal with that if you’re not
connected to the source see what’s going
on inside of us what’s internal drains
us my thoughts worry frustration come on
some of us have these things if I just
my flesh
it’ll drain me okay I will have no power
to do anything but what’s in him what’s
in the power source it empowers me to
live so if you don’t hear anything else
I want to say that God’s power it’s
dependable and God’s power is
transferable you don’t have to speak in
tongues to get the power of God
something well I don’t act like this I
don’t look like this open up your Bible
and allow the Living Word of God to be
well I don’t feel nothing today but
something inside of you is starting to
move y’all know that when you first put
it on the charger you can’t do stuff on
my Apple it just shows the Apple son
it’s just letting you know that you’re
connected it’s let you know that
something is going in
you can’t use all the functions yet but
I promise you if you stay plugged in
long enough if you stay plugged in long
enough your functionality is gonna begin
to change things are gonna begin to move
things that used to run slow are gonna
run faster so you have to know that by
His divine power the power source has
everything that we need to live this
life godly he says but the only way you
get the power is through the word and
I’ll transfer my power to you as you
connect to me the last thing I want you
to hear me say very clearly is God’s
power is available it’s dependable its
transferable but most importantly it’s
available I want you to hear me say this
God’s power is available to you wherever
you are right now
well tax them like you don’t know what
I’m going through his power is available
to you I’m in the hardest season of my
life his power is available to me well
I’m living an alternate lifestyle his
power is available for you if you would
just plug into him see many people try
to plug in and change themselves and try
to generate power out of their own
selves trying to be solar powered out
there trying to get powered by the Sun
and no listen just plug into God I love
hotels that are newly remodeled that’s
like my thing like I like I look on the
reviews like when was it updated one of
the reasons I do that is because when
you go into those hotels they now have
started incorporating USB ports
everywhere so like when you walk into
the hotel room I went into one hotel
room there was 15 USB ports for me to
plug in one by my nightstand one in the
bathroom well I mean they were
everywhere and I was just like oh my god
you know what the sad thing about it is
my phone still went dead in that hotel
because the power was available but I
never plugged in you can come to church
you can hear the song I mean it is
available but have you plugged in look
at this last scripture in 2nd Timothy
chapter 3 verse 1 2nd Timothy I want you
to see this and this sounds kind of like
where we’re at in the world today
it says but mark this there will be a
terrible time in the last days where
people will be lovers of themselves
lovers of money boastful proud abusive
disobedient to their parents ungrateful
unholy without love unforgiving
slanderous without self-control brutal
not lovers of the good treacherous rash
conceited lovers of pleasure rather than
lovers of God they’re not devoted having
a form of godliness but denying his what
does that word have nothing to do with
such people
this is the Word of God he’s saying
there’s a day coming where it’s gonna be
available everywhere but people will
rather be consumed with themselves then
consumed with plugging into the power
and they gonna fake it to because they
know they need the power so what they’re
gonna do is they’re gonna present a form
of godliness look more phone it’s just
sleeping right now let’s just sleep it
still work hello no power I don’t want
that to be the testimony for anybody in
this room that we would have the power
of God available to help us live this
life the abundant fool charged up life
and we never plug into the power source
this series is going to step-by-step
help you plug into the power source and
make it so real for you not anybody this
is not the series for your neighbor this
is a series for you because God wants
you to be devoted to him there is
nothing that he would withhold from you
if he knows that you’re always
connecting to him
