is him touching us the reward of this is
him meeting us confirming and affirming
who he’s called us to be
father we came into this 21 days of
prayer fasting with a lot of requests at
the end of it all all we want is you god
father all we want is your will for our
lives
and we are so convinced that here is
holy that we are saying i surrender all

everything that i’ve been trying to
white knuckle my way through trying to
hold and carry the church it’s yours i
surrender
[Music]
you don’t need two saviors
so father i relinquish
the role i’ve been playing as savior in
my own life that’s a word for somebody
right there
every place in my life where i tried to
come in and save the day
where i tried to protect the reputation
where i tried to move the needle forward
where i tried to impress somebody today
i resign
from the position of savior in my own
life
and i say all to be my
blessed savior
i surrender

[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
this is a lot of what 2022 is gonna feel
like
[Music]
waiting on the lord
[Music]
many of you in this moment
have been feeling anxious
i feel it’s like okay that’s enough
what’s next like what’s next like what’s
next like what’s next
that feeling is trying to draw you from
here
[Music]
like there has something better for you
and god’s saying but here
is holy
i just see this being a prophetic
picture
of us wanting to move our business
forward and god said but i just need you
to focus on loving the people you got
right
here
but we need six other positions and we
need and god said yeah yeah yeah i got
all that but i just need you to stay
right
here
when we move into that new neighborhood
in the new school system and our kids
are able to get in and god said but i
can do a miracle
right
here
don’t
rush
god
[Music]
he’s taking the hustle
out of his house
when you love being with somebody time
don’t matter
when me and my wife get in that place
and snuggle and and and
it literally is like time
doesn’t matter anymore it’s only people
you’re not comfortable with
[Music]
that you’re always looking at how much
longer do i gotta stay with you
and god’s saying stop treating me like a
stranger
would you just sit with me
would you just on a sunday morning with
thousands of people watching michael
would you just
display
a relationship surrendered
i said god here i am
come on somebody just say here i am
just one more time with faith say here i
am
[Music]
there’s a sweet anointing of god in this
moment y’all
[Music]
father i thank you
thank you for what you’ve said thank you
for what you’ve done thank you for your
word
thank you for this phrase meaning more
than what i’m saying do y’all know the
holy spirit speaking right now i just
feel this right now there’s confirmation
revelation
[Music]
there’s transformation
thank you lord he said in this moment
there’s delineation
he’s
he’s cutting some stuff
he’s drawing lines in the sand
[Music]
he’s putting parameters around stuff
remember
the phrase of this year is here is holy
but the subtitle is this is the year
of intentional limitation
he’s showing some of y’all where the
borders are
not them
well god then who he said i’ll show you
but you better draw a line right there
you can’t watch that no more but god
that’s what me and all my friends talk
about he said but for what i’m about to
do here is holy
cut it off
god it’s too hard for me cut the whole
service off uh-oh
what do you want to do
to get the purpose of god you may have
to cut hulu and netflix in this next
season so you don’t even have the
opportunity
one clap you know why
because our comfort
is stronger in most of us than our
calling
and god’s saying but if i’m telling you
it’s holy
[Music]
you better be ready to draw some lines
i don’t care if you’re in high school
god said you can be the difference maker
in that high school go sit at that lunch
table open up your bible and you don’t
got to put up a flyer people are
watching you there’s something different
about you you’re separated you’re holy
don’t try to push it on everybody else
but i told you to do something
[Music]
and if it’s for one other person
he said here will be whole
here i am god just one more time in
faith say here i am
god is a church
as a pastor as a leader as a father as a
husband as a son
you can have every facet of me
here i am the stuff god i don’t even
like letting people
know i do
because then there may be a demand on me
today i’m surrendering
every part of me oh that was for a lot
of y’all
there’s parts you’ve been holding back
because you know if if anybody sees
what’s actually in you there’ll be a
responsibility and a demand
and god is saying why would you hide
what i gave you as your gift
god here we are somebody say here i am
just lift that up say
here i am
stay there here i am
[Music]
you’re all together
[Music]
here i
am
[Music]
here i
am
here i am
so here i
[Music]
what am i here to do say say
[Music]
here i am
just
[Music]
you can have
one
here i am
[Music]
here i am
[Music]
[Music]
here i
[Music]
he’s am lost you can find him here i am
[Music]
this is
[Music]
this is my sanctuary
i put my trust in you
my anchor my foundation
i build my life on you
[Music]
in exodus
check check check check check in exodus
chapter 3
i want to read you a portion of
scripture this is what the bible says to
moses in exodus 3 verse 12 god answered
i will be with you
this is your sign that i am the one who
has sent you
when you have brought the people out of
egypt
you will worship god at this very
mountain
but god but moses protested if i go to
the people
of egypt
and i tell if i go to the people of
israel tell them the god of your
ancestors has sent me to you
they will ask you what is your name
then you shall tell them
and god replied to moses i am
who i am
i am who i am say this to the people of
israel i am has sent me to you
as we were praying i felt so clearly god
said i want you to know that here i am
is not just identification
but it’s invitation
because the name of god is i am when you
say here i am you’re not only
identifying for yourself but you’re
telling god here i am
some of you
where god god where will god meet you
you say here when you say i am god says
i’ll meet you right there are some of
you there are specific areas that you’re
in when you’re saying here i am you’re
recognizing yourself but you’re also
inviting god so when you say here i am
in the marriage when you say here i am
in the argument when you say here i am
in the anxiety when you say here i am in
my worry when you say here i am in my
lack of ability god says exactly because
when you say my name that’s all you
we’re talking about the name of jesus
you don’t have to have the answer you
just have to say the answer’s name when
you say here i am here come into my
marriage here come into my doubt here
come into my fear here come into my
worry here come
right
here
here i am yes sir say here i am
say here i am
here i am
[Music]
here i am
[Music]
so right here
[Music]
[Music]
right
[Music]
that scripture said um
this will be your sign
your worship
[Music]
will be the sign
like you’re going
you’re going to worship at a place
you’ve been to before moses
but this time when i deliver you
i need you to lead people
to worship me
and i don’t
[Music]
i’m not exactly sure um
[Music]
if our worship
individual imma speak for me
has not been attached
[Music]
to um
an outcome
can i be transparent can i
can can i can i get vulnerable
can i take off my protection
can can i acknowledge at the place that
god
has called us to be as a church
that we got it
we got to do like moses and
say no i’m not going to stay right here
at this place
say here i am
that’s availability
[Music]
but when i take off my protection
that’s vulnerability
and some of y’all have been so protected
by your pedigree
so protected by your degrees
so protected by your ten-year
so protected by your age
ain’t nobody tell me nothing i’ve been
following god longer but you’re still in
the same place
and god might have sent this young man
in a hot red jacket this is too hot to
be up here i just
she’s us be offense
but he sent me up here
to maybe
awaken something on the inside of you
that maybe maybe there can be a little
more reckless abandonment
in your life when it comes to the things
of god
maybe you can get a little more
vulnerable see see a lot of people
don’t understand
that that that thing that we’re talking
about of
availability to god we can do that here
i am god whatever you want to do
but showing people who i really am
taking down my attitude
it protected me in a different season
[Music]
it was the only thing i had
to keep the people that were supposed to
lead me and love me
from hurting me so i’ve built these
walls i ain’t talking to them
they remind me of the place of hurt
i’m not going to ask for help i’m not
going to be vulnerable because i don’t
want to get hurt again and god’s saying
but here i am
[Music]
so i need you to take off your
protection
but the real thing god wanted moses to
do at that burning bush
is he wanted him to feel again
[Music]
some of y’all haven’t felt in a long
time
you haven’t been able to feel your
emotions you haven’t been able to feel
god you’ve been going through the
motions you’ve been doing everything you
were supposed to do but you have not
been able to feel when he put his feet
on the ground
that wasn’t
availability or vulnerability
god wanted him to have
sensitivity
feel my presence
feel that i’m here
feel that i’m with you
feel that here is holy
feel the cool of the singing feel the
rock feel the thing feel i need you to
everybody say feel
[Music]
i told our church last week
after all the cameras went off
i said here is holy
and what that practically means is our
church has been full of passion
but it has not had enough compassion
we haven’t felt enough
and everybody’s trying to get to the
next thing and the next crazy miracle
and the next thing and could it be
that god says as you rush to the next
thing you don’t
feel what i want you to feel here moses
will never forget
this meeting with god
because he hid another sense in his life
not since but like our senses
he saw the burning bush
he smelled the smoke
but he felt
god help us to fail again
somebody just put your hand on your
heart right now and just say god help me
to feel again whoo
you so cold and you cut people off so
quick and you think it’s a trait that
should be admired
i can cut somebody off god said that
it’s not me
did i cut you off like that
or did i have come
passion
[Music]
some of our family issues are not
unsolvable
there’s just a lack of
compassion
nobody’s feeling nobody’s feeling
and today god wants us to feel how do
you feel in his presence
that’s where moses was in a place of
worship
and he took off
[Music]
his his protection and felt for the
first time in years
husbands and wives the reason it’s not
clicking you don’t feel it
you’re not sensitive to one another
[Music]
and god’s saying i want this week to be
a week of sensitivity
right now if tony just starts hitting
the drums
wildly
the thing we would tell him
is what are you doing
you’re not being
sensitive
[Music]
when a baby is at the point
of almost being asleep
and somebody turns on the tv too loud
that’s means for divorce
[Music]
no no no because i’ve been working an
hour and a half
to get this baby right here and you’re
not being
sensitive
i just lost somebody i love
and then you make a joke about death
what we would say to somebody
is you’re not being
sensitive
why is it that god says
i’ll speak to you in a
still
small
why would he say steal small voice i
want the thunderous god the big god you
can be loud
but not sensitive
and what i want you to hear is the
details
everybody say details
this week i hear so strongly y’all is
god’s saying i want this to be the most
sensitive week of your life
i want you to create an atmosphere that
has a lower volume than your regular
weeks
i want the noise to turn down this week
[Music]
why go here and it’s such and such
birthday and this is what i’m doing all
that’s noise
god’s been speaking to you the whole
time but you can’t hear him because he’s
whispering
you’re not close god had to take moses
to a deserted place
[Music]
he wasn’t in a crowd of people he wasn’t
in egypt where he was the man he wasn’t
even withdrew through his father-in-law
he was in the desert
with some sheep who couldn’t talk
and he took him
to a deserted place and told him put
your
feet on the ground and feel me
you know when people be like do you feel
me
that’s what god’s saying today
do you feel me
i’m trying to work on your attitude do
you feel me
i’m trying to give you a business plan
that’ll change your family for
generations do you feel me
and right now so much of the noise is so
loud
and we’re so protected
see the crazy thing about it is in my
shoes and those socks it was a lot
warmer around my feet
there is at least a 15 degree difference
and there was only an inch and a half
them a stick two inches
of soul
between where i was
and where i am now
but it feels
completely different
do you have too much soul
between you and god
not s o l e but s-o-u-m
[Music]
are you too high
to feel what god’s trying to do in your
life
is this a time where you need to come
low and humble yourself
before the mighty hand of god
and say here i am
[Music]
somebody just say here i am
that’s service
i’m not
i’m not messing with this
[Music]
this is the year of the cliffhanger
[Music]
everything’s not going to be resolved in
a moment
[Music]
and the church has been so used to like
okay put a bow on it
give me some wrapping
and let my day go on
[Music]
this is the year of the cliffhanger
there’s gonna be moments he calls you in
and he’s just gonna say okay
that’s what i was gonna do today and uh
i’ll see you here tomorrow
[Music]
and the uncomfortableness that some of
y’all feel right i came for a word he is
the living word what are you what are
you talking about what are you talking
about
you don’t want my words
you don’t you don’t want my youtube
you don’t want my tweets
you want
rhema you want him to give you a word
for yourself that nobody else that’s
special that proves that here is holy
do you know nobody else got a word like
that
in history
except moses
from a burning bush
he the only one
ever got god to speak to him
in that way
separate
holy
completely other than
opposed to there it didn’t happen when
he went home that would have been there
it happened
here
so if you’re watching this
and you’re like what is going on
um
we’ve decided a long time ago that we
were a church
that was gonna let god lead
like we just decided
and there’s thousands
of people watching and thousands of
people that will be watching through the
week
but we decided we would never ever
perform
we would just get in his presence
and whatever happens
happens you know how they say it is
what it is
because here
here is holy
[Music]
i’m trying to model for you
what it looks
like
to have to move on without resolve
you’re going to have to start the
business without them saying i’m sorry
there won’t be a resolve
and a lot of people are waiting to start
until there’s a resolve
and god is saying to you in this moment
he is like don’t rush me i’m doing the
work
if you would just be okay everybody say
here
[Music]
you don’t have to see the end of the
credits yet
there’s alternate endings to this
depending on your faith
and obedience
see faith in obedience produced the
ending of this movie it’s still being
written
saul when he started the movie god had
him in he was supposed to have a
descendant reigning on the throne
[Music]
forever
but saw through his disobedience
and his lack of faith in god
rewrote a different ending
to the story that god had already pinned
he didn’t acknowledge that here was holy
y’all remember the story
when when he was supposed to offer a
sacrifice
and he he was and he was waiting on
samuel and samuel was taken too long
does it ever feel like what god’s doing
is taking too long y’all gonna just
leave me out here by myself it’s taking
too long for you to give me a husband
it’s taking too long for me to have my
money it’s taking too long he felt like
it was taking too long
and because he didn’t acknowledge that
here was holy
he started looking at his enemies
and his enemies started to distract him
from the promise that god had given
through samuel
and he started getting the bible says
hard-pressed
has anybody ever been hard pressed can
we just have a therapy session right now
has anybody ever been hard-pressed okay
let me be let’s be real real let’s be
hot humble open and transparent how many
people have a hard-pressed area right
now there’s it come on let’s not has
anybody ever no today
[Music]
what do you do when you get hard-pressed
[Music]
two weeks ago
when a spit hit the fan
that’s when i found out
what was it when i got hard-pressed
when people were calling me out of my
name talking about my children saying
what my wife could do with spit when
when i saw the underbelly of the culture
i’m called to love
[Music]
god said how do you respond when you’re
hard-pressed
[Music]
saw
[Music]
in his anxiousness
to do the right thing
[Music]
he was trying to offer sacrifices to the
lord
but he did it in the wrong timing
some of y’all what you feeling is right
it’s the right conviction
it’s it’s the right thing but god’s
trying to build your character right
here
so he’s saying don’t move yet don’t move
don’t don’t move yet don’t stay stay at
the job stay with those people stay at
the church just stop it’s the right it’s
the right conviction
i’m gonna talk about it more next week
but moses killing
the egyptian
who was
who was hindering and damaging a hebrew
it was the right conviction
with the lack of character
[Music]
god’s not trying to take you off of what
he put on you he’s just saying wait on
me
[Music]
wait on the lord
[Music]
wait on the lord
this is prophetic for you
he will renew your strength
[Music]
he’s about to renew your strength
[Music]
it’s the right thing
just the wrong moment stay here
but god’s gonna do it he’s gonna restore
he’s gonna revive
the next move the next thing is
it’s not there it’s here
[Music]
[Music]
just one more time
[Music]
wait on the lord
[Music]
would saul’s life have looked like
[Music]
had he waited
right here
we would lit david
we wouldn’t know about day everybody
loved david he was the backup
many people don’t read this but when
israel wanted a king
god chose saul
but he wouldn’t stay here long enough
for god to give him the victory
he spent the rest of his life
chasing his favor
[Music]
even though he messed up he still gave
him david
to win victories for him
and he started listening to the people
over there
and over there
and over there
and over there and over there he started
listening when they said david slade ten
thousand
saul one thousand
it messed with his identity because it
wasn’t anchored in god
[Music]
if it was me i would have been singing a
song too did you hear the song that was
singing about you boy you kept he was
still the king
all the victories came back and went
under his tutelage
but a moment that was supposed to be
here
[Music]
he didn’t wait on god
i’m not going to press past
any moment that i know god’s doing
something even if i don’t understand it
it’s so
saul’s raw emotion
where in the bleep is god right now
through samuel
where is he did he oversleep so i might
go find him
i’m pressed this is uncomfortable i
can’t stand this
he could have said all of that and still
waited
vent but wait
be pissed
but wait
[Applause]
do a circle
shout
jump up and down do jumping jacks
but
wait
y’all know that’s what he told the
disciples
when jesus
told his disciples
what they needed to do he said all right
listen i’m i told you all several times
i’m leaving
but i want you
to go wait
until you’re endued
with the power
of the holy spirit
i’ve given you the instruction to go
but don’t go until you get what i want
you to get here
the the the great commission
go into all the world and make this
that’s there
but before you do that wait here
until you get what you need
to go out there and actually be
effective
jesus i know
demons are looking you in your face in
the industry god’s called you to conquer
in and the reason you ain’t got no power
there
is because you didn’t get what you were
supposed to get
here
so we’re telling ourselves right now
wait on the lord
wait on
said he will renew
it’s frustrating here it hurts here
i wish more people knew what was really
going on here
but he sent you here to tell you to wait
here it’s all going to make sense real
soon
but here is holy
he’s doing something in your character
so that you don’t kill anything
prematurely
that god called to live it’s the right
conviction it’s just the wrong moment
here is hope
[Music]
you’re getting stronger as you wait just
say wait
[Music]
what happens when they wait what
happened
something’s happening
yeah
i dare you to say
[Music]
i feel the presence of god faith is
rising in this place somebody says
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
he’s going to change it all from right
here
get victory on your lips
and just say stay that way baby
is
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
oh
come on
[Applause]
somebody stay right here
[Music]
what god’s gonna do here is renew our
strength to stay here
[Music]
we’re gonna be faithful here
somebody say i’m going to be faithful
here
see this is our confession
say i am here
and because god is here
here is holy
this is our confession all year
well i messed up what do i say i am here
[Music]
and because god is here
what do we say here is hope
well they just left me
and i’m hurting
and i never saw my life without them
but let’s be
ones that say
you know what gonna take off my
protection i’m gonna get vulnerable i’ma
feel this thing
charles i wanna preach it but i’ma wait
till next week
but i need to let everybody especially
men know
that sensitivity is strength
[Applause]
i’ma preach this thing next week how i
feel this thing y’all
next week is our seventh year
anniversary as pastors and twenty
three years
of greenwood christian center being
transformation church
and god wanted the word i share next
week to marinate for an entire week
y’all know when food is real good
some of y’all been eating that fast food
microwavable but when food is real good
it’s when it’s sitting them juices for a
while
[Music]
we’re gonna normalize sensitivity
but we’re going to we’re going to
normalize
being able to feel
[Music]
demario we’re going to start a new
revolution of men of god
that stand next to women of god
it won’t be that the women carry the
church because they can feel that’s the
reason
that’s the reason that they’ve been able
to carry because men have been taught
you ain’t supposed to feel that shut up
don’t feel that stop crying that don’t
mean nothing and god said but i had
compassion
[Music]
that’s why we have to transform our
minds
we’re gonna raise sons that know how to
feel
we’re going to raise daughters that know
how to feel
we’re going to raise disciples that know
how to what fear
because it’s only in the feeling that i
know how to respond
not react most of our christian life has
been spent reacting
[Music]
but when i can feel somebody’s heart
when i know what you’ve been through
if you knew me
when i spit on brentham’s uh face
that’s the third time i’ve done that
that wasn’t the first time or the second
i did somebody else’s church
but the people who reacted
didn’t know me
[Music]
the people who knew me
they responded
my wife said that was michael
that was the most disgusting thing
you’ve ever done on the platform form
before i
i couldn’t even watch it
but i love you
and i knew your heart behind it
and next time just
act like you spit and then just
she didn’t react
see what respond
and so many of us
because we haven’t gotten vulnerable
enough to feel
we won’t sit with nobody long enough to
hear their story
we’re still married to the version of
our husband and wife
that we got 10 years ago
and we haven’t heard
been sensitive to the changes
[Music]
you’re not married to who you may read
that’s a whole word you’re not married
to who you’re married just how your kids
at five are different than they are at
15.
[Music]
but the problem is
well i told you at three
that you were going to be great why are
you why you don’t got confidence now you
wasn’t
to sensitive
sixth grade where that teacher stole
their
you you weren’t you weren’t sensitive
to be able to see every time they go to
that camp
they come back just a little
how was camp okay that was great
and you’re not seeing
because you don’t feel
[Music]
many of us are who we are today not
because we wanted to be because our
protection wasn’t sensitive
[Music]
they couldn’t tell we got touched
[Music]
nobody saw how i started acting
negatively when it came to anything
about church nobody saw how i started
having an affinity towards men or have
an affinity towards women nobody saw
they never even they never even brought
it up
they knew i stole but they just beat me
but never ask me
they weren’t
sensitive
so now i’m out here trying to fend
myself and protect myself and trying to
follow god open-handed but i want to
fight too because
nobody’s ever been sensitive enough to
me
so it keeps me from being sensitive to
others
and the one time i let them in
i saw their humanity and ain’t never
happening again and some of y’all are
living with such strongholds of inner
vows
i’m prophesying to somebody right now
it’s a stronghold of inner vows that you
said i’ll never feel like this again
i’ll never open up like that again
they’re gonna have to prove themselves
to me over and nobody including god
is going to jump that wall you’ve put up
you’re going to have to let him in
god’s not just coming
after our availability
or our vulnerability
he wants our
sensitivity
father help us
to feel oh
come on that’s a prayer you probably
have never prayed
god help me to feel again
when i was a child i felt
some of us that was even robbed
god helped me not to just feel again i’m
not going to assume help me to feel for
the first time
[Music]
god i thank you as we’re sensitive in
your presence
you’ll speak a word that confirms our
calling
moses moses
michael michael
blake blake
mima tommy tommy
he’s calling your name
to let you know you’re called
and he said could we pause this entire
year
and declare that here
is holy
brooklyn brooklyn
for shia prashiya
gary gary
malia malia
travis he’s calling
you by name
in a desert place
so that you can know this ain’t no fluke
this ain’t a family prophecy
this is not a group everybody on this
side i’m burning the bush and getting
your attention in this place so you can
know i’m talking directly to you
jerry jerry
roberta roberta
tammy tammy wheel wheel
he’s saying butch butch
samara samara de mario de maria
he said he’s saying matthew matthew
patricia patricia
just in case you missed that it was me
the first time
[Music]
i’m calling you by name twice
so that you can see
here is
holy
help us to feel again god
[Music]
if you’re in this place and you’re
feeling
a stirring
that you’re like i’ve never felt this
before
let me help
let me help you if you’ve been far from
god
what god is doing right now is inviting
you
by his holy spirit into a relationship
with him
this is a feeling that you can’t get
from making money
and a feeling that you don’t get from
getting high or drinking or sleeping
with somebody this is a feeling
that’s like water
after a 10-mile run
see you can drink stuff
when you’re running but drinking sprite
when you’re running
up mountains
it’s a counterfeit
for what you need which is water
there was a young woman at a whale
that was trying to get a drink
jesus was there she didn’t know that
this was the encounter that was gonna
change your life like many of you don’t
know that this is all a setup for your
life to be changed
but what happened
is he said if if you drink of the water
i’m talking about
you’ll never thirst again
this woman said where’s that water
he’s like right here
where did he say it was
here
he didn’t say over there don’t go back
into town don’t clean up
don’t don’t he asked her very vulnerable
questions about her sleeping quarters
her sleeping partners what she was doing
and he said and i’ll do this miracle
right
here
and i believe that’s what god wants to
do for you no matter what you’ve done or
how far you’ve gone and what you’ve said
and who you’ve said it to and what inner
vows god’s saying would you just get
vulnerable because i sent my son over
two thousand years ago
to a cross
to shed his blood and break his body
so that you could be right here
in this moment
i don’t care how you got here i don’t
care if it’s on in a barber shop or a
beauty salon or somebody’s watching it
real loud the reason they turned it up
because they want you to hear it
they care about you they’re filled with
compassion
they know what happened to them when
they got this revelation of jesus christ
and his peace and his joy begin to feel
them from the inside it doesn’t make you
a perfect person but it makes you a
progressing person it’s something that
changes you it changed me it took me
from being a liar a manipulator somebody
who was addicted to pornography somebody
who had a lot of bad things in my heart
and god said yeah with all of that if
you surrender it to me
and say here i am somebody say here i am
he said i’ll take all of that
i’ll use it for my glory
telling you today
that today is the day of salvation
right
here not tomorrow not next week it’s not
promised to none of us
it’s not no guarantee but guess what is
the gift we have at this moment here
that’s why they call it a present
the present
is
here
and today i want to offer you
to start
a loving relationship
with the god who let me tell you a
secret he’d been chasing you
[Music]
his love
found you at every club
his love
found you in your pride his love
has been chasing you through all your
successes achievements your validations
from people he’s been right there
saying if you tired all of that
here i am
[Music]
today i want to give you the opportunity
to accept jesus christ as your personal
lord and savior here
[Music]
according to romans 10 9 all you have to
do is believe in your heart and confess
with your mouth we’re going to repent or
turn from the way we’ve been doing it
and we’re going to turn to god right
here did you see what i did i didn’t
have to take a step to turn
i can turn
right here i can be in the same place
and everything i’m seeing a whole
different group of people on this side
than i would on this side but for me to
see them over there i have to everybody
say turn
look at all those beautiful faces and
stories
and moments and memories
that are now available to me
because i repented right
here
today
this is your sanctuary
wherever you’re at on the couch
in the car on the porch
somebody say this is my sanctuary
god is tearing down the need
for brick and mortar
[Music]
he is resurrecting sanctuaries
wherever we are somebody say this is my
sanctuary
we’ve made this amazing
and guys i don’t need none of this
i’ll put on a light show
in the desert
y’all know that’s what the burning bush
was right he put on a light show that
was so spectacular
[Music]
that that means i got to go i got to go
see what that is he don’t need none of
this
he’ll do it right there at your office
complex
watching on rebroadcast he’ll do it
right here and he’s saying it’s just so
i can have a relationship with you
god talking to moses
how jesus wants to talk to you
it’s not about anything other than a
relationship
and how you come into that relationship
is through jesus christ the bible says
he’s the way
the truth
and the life no one can even get to god
except go through him let’s do it
this is the day right
and i’m telling you this is the best
decision you could ever make on the
count of three i want you to take a
crazy face step and i don’t actually
care who’s around you because they will
not stand with you when you stand before
god
every person will stand before god and
have to give an account of their life
and the one thing
that protects us there
that positions us there
that gives us a place there is what we
do right
so today
i want you
let me be honest i want you to choose
jesus
because it transformed my life
and i know it’ll transform yours
and on the count of three if you want to
accept jesus christ as your personal or
savior i want you to raise your hand one
you’re making the greatest decision of
your life two i’m proud of you but that
don’t even matter god is writing your
name in the lamb’s book of life three
just shoot your hand up all over the
world all over this building all over
this room
oh i need you to know heaven is
rejoicing right now
oh it’s turning up way better than these
people are turning up
they stop singing holy holy holy because
somebody just got separated and got made
holy
a transformation church we’re a family
nobody prays alone here
so there’s 25 000 people that are about
to pray this prayer some of them are in
texas some of them are in japan some of
them are in israel others of them are
mississippi m-i-s-s-i-s-s ipp i learned
how to speak that in the fourth grade
haven’t done that in a long time that
felt really good
it’s what i learned from school um
this is your moment
and we’re a family
so everybody together for the benefit of
those who are coming to christ right now
everybody say god
here i am
today
i surrender my life
right here
i believe you lived
you died
and you rose again
with all power
to change my life
and today
i’m ready
do the work in me
right here
change me here
renew me here
transform me here
i’m yours
in jesus name
amen
can we welcome
the hundreds
matter of fact it might be thousands
today
people that just made this place holy
right here god has come into their life
and right here
he has
transformed
[Music]
if you just made that decision i am
feeling glory right now like i’m feeling
the weight of god’s glory like i’m
feeling like
i’m
i’m gonna just tell you what i feel i
feel like god’s saying finally
like that you know when somebody finally
does
like what they what you’ve been trying
to get him to do for a long time
it’s just like he’s like
all right y’all
we can start it now
bring the blessings
bring the faith they finally i’ve been
trying to do this
for so long
to finally i found
people with my heart
right
here if you just accepted jesus as your
personal lord and savior i want you to
text saved to the number on the screen
and we’re going to send you some
resources
we’re not going to hound you we’re going
to help you
because this is a journey it’s not just
like oh everything changed today like
it’s like hey we’re going to keep
walking this thing out
your boy is learning
decades
into my relationship with god i am not
perfect at all but i am progressing and
that’s step by step i heard bishop say
something to me earlier this week he
said most people live their life from
here to there
and he said but in god
you just live your life in continual
years
i said that’s some that’s some 40-year
plus wisdom right there i don’t even i
don’t even know he said michael think
about it
you’re here talking about there but if
you just focus on here
and then you focus on here
and then you focus on here and then you
focus on here
you don’t go from here to there you just
live your life in a bunch of years
what i’m saying on this journey with
christ
he just wants you to focus on here if
you can’t pray for more than 30 seconds
that’s okay here
because here is holy church people
trying to go come on terry terry i don’t
talk to nobody that long
so give me a moment to build up my
stamina
[Music]
even if that’s what god want me to do
cause you talk to him one hour and then
be a fool the rest of the 23 hours of
the day
i just keep talking to him every hour
[Music]
i’m just gonna talk to him here and then
i’m gonna talk to him here and then i’m
gonna tell him i’m confused here and
then i’m gonna tell him i’m mad here
it don’t matter where i’m at as long as
he’s there
i’m here
here
is
well
[Music]
glory to god
thank you jesus
y’all don’t know how to praise when god
does something amazing
god there’s nobody like you
there’s no god like jehovah you are
awesome you are worthy you are mighty
father god you are the only one worthy
to be praised there is nobody that can
be as strategic as you
[Music]
so today we honor you
[Music]
the fast has officially ended
i feel the presence of god
now this is my encouragement to you
[Music]
if you were made holy
in what you separated from
don’t be so quick
to leave
here uh-oh
you might eat a slice of chicken tonight
but don’t
but don’t run back
[Music]
into the habits the hobbies
and the hail honestly
that most of us were living in before
god brought us
here just by natural standards they tell
us it takes 21 days
to build a habit
why would you kill your habit
on the day you built it
don’t sacrifice the last 21 days of
sensitivity
we’ve been praying here every night at
six o’clock
but maybe you keep praying every day
at six o’clock until god says stop well
god how’s it it ain’t killed you yet
[Music]
you’re more you’re feeling more
empowered than you ever have that’s what
the daniel fast was for daniel said let
me do something holy let me do something
separate let me not eat all the king’s
dainties and literally
he said then test me
and see if i’m not 10 times better
than everybody who you put against me
i’m declaring the elevation will be
evident
what you do
when nobody requires it
will be the thing
that allows your elevation to be evident
before i came out here today i did
something i’ve never done before
mo as my witness you saw me back there i
worked out this morning i worked out six
days this week
ain’t no no thank you yeah y’all bad bye
okay we all need encouragement from the
sanctuary okay
i worked out six days this week i worked
out this morning at 6 30. scott was
there
i have to say somebody was there because
people would be thinking i’m lying no i
would i really did it
and i worked hard and it hurt
but when i was in the green room about
to come out
something said in me
hit 10 push-ups
this is not natural
this is not normal
but i felt something in my nature
shifting
and i was sitting there in the back and
everybody i didn’t ask like hey guys
don’t be weirded out by this never done
this before
i just hit the ground
[Music]
and i did 10 push-ups jumped up
and god said to me
he said this
is the start
of a new normal for you
and i started to think about it in that
moment
he was changing me
from what i feel
was my habit before
and he’s developing something brand new
i’m just begging you
after we’ve been disciplined
and doing the things and cutting off
certainty don’t just go back to
instagram with the same level of
recklessness that you left it with
i’m back no no
[Music]
you may go back for one day a week
just just
be
sensitive
you you made a plan but be
sensitive
do you want me to
i don’t even know i actually don’t feel
like it hold on you bless my business
without posting
hold on you gave me more connections and
visions in this season than i’ve had
networking
i don’t
i don’t feel as comparisony
come on it’s not a word but we just made
it one
i don’t
i don’t feel as comparisony
[Music]
i feel more celebratory
i feel like i want to congratulate and
send a voice call and text somebody and
let them know they’re doing good what is
that it’s the habits you’ve been
building
that if you run back to the same diet
you’re going to get the same results
but right here
here’s holly
until next week

god’s done at this church
in seven years of me and pastor natalie
being the pastors and 23 years our
founding pastors are in the building

people who have been faithful at this
church

going to put this whole thing up
i don’t care about the views

this will be the best week of
sensitivity we’ve ever had
