Today we started our new series called, “Something New.” As we begin the year right with 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, we got to hear from one of our prayer pastors, Pastor Brenda Todd. We learned about The Big 3, Giving, Praying & Fasting. Are you joining us in 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting? For more information, check out our social media platforms and our website!

pandemic but every year because we want
to hear
what god has to say about our lives
our families and our purpose and i’m
asking you to join me
yeah yeah i know what you’re thinking
like fasting like giving up something i
promise you anytime you give up
something pleasurable

get closer to god
spiritually and you never give up
something for god

that you need it most

the camera bless his name
gabriel michael is right after him
raphael
brenton and my grayson you heard singing
maybe you did maybe you didn’t but

and the one thing that i’m about to go
go up and hear y’all
in the name of jesus like michael say
i’m ready
ready glory to god with those five boys
let me tell you something
um you know of course i thought i was
gonna have a girl but i got all these
granddaughters
we have five sons we have um five
granddaughters
i have three daughters in love
hallelujah
and believing for the rest amen
hallelujah the one thing about when the
boys were growing up
they were very competitive they were
and still are very competitive in games
and everything you know they would play
man it’ll gets so loud in the house now
the loudness
yes amen it come from me what can i say
i’m loud y’all
i love to give god glory but anyway one
of the
one of the biggest things that would
happen is
you know during basketball season for
the most part we were all together
on who we wanted to win there came a
time when when some of them
split off into one area or another in
terms of who they wanted to win
as far as the championship or even when
they were playing
the games or whatever it always came
down
to the championship and in a
championship
you always have at least three somebody
said at least three
that people were looking forward to
as far as that is concerned oh let’s see
just like
lebrons d wade and bosh
y’all didn’t think i knew yeah
then another is steph
oh my jesus roche clay
and help me with the other ok come on
kevin
glory to god then we had shaq
kobe and gaza y’all gone
up in here then my favorite because this
was close to
many many years ago but he’s still
a star michael jordan come on
pippin and rodman
come on somebody say the big three my
god today and there was
always a victory when you had three
that knew what they were doing well
today i don’t want to keep you in
suspense
about what it is that i’m gonna talk
about
i want you to know today that i’m gonna
talk about the
big three somebody said the big three
lord have mercy the big three
to answered prayer the big three
that would make a difference in your
life and my life
in the name of jesus
the big three which is a threefold cord
that’s not easily broken in other words
when you have
all of these things tied together they
will
not break you will get an answer like
never before
and in this season and time we want you
to know
in 2021 if you do all three of them
i want to stand here and say you are
guaranteed
to get an answer to prayer
the reason that many people don’t pray
is because they don’t think they can get
an
answer but maybe you have left one or
two of these things off
what are you talking about prophetess
we’re talking about in matthew the 6th
chapter
verse 2 says and when you give
now come on up in here did y’all hear
a few moments ago about giving we’ll
come back to that in a minute
when you give you jump down to verse
five come on
it then says when you pray then you jump
down to verse
and it then says when you fast
are y’all gonna help me up in here
number one is what when you give
did i make a plan all right number one
is what
when you give hey my god today
number two is what when you
when you pray number three is what
now i have a question
did anybody hear anything about
if you
you can look at scripture did it say
if you come on now
it said what what did it say
what did it say oh my god today
i want you to hear me even now you may
not have been getting your prayers
answered
or the enemy has played with your mind
and make you feel like
you need to give your prayer request to
everybody else
but god wants you to know that when
you give when you pray when
you pass something’s gonna break
[Applause]
something’s gonna happen somebody say
win you
my god we’re talking about the big three
somebody say the big three
the threefold court to answer prayer
come on now we just talked about
all of those wonderful people concerning
basketball and all of that
but we’re not talking about basketball
we’re talking about your life
are y’all in this place and i know you
are are you on your couch
is it causing you to stand up and say
wait i’m listening
for the big three in the name of jesus
that will cause victory to come
to my house somebody say victory
that will come to my house
when i do what’s number one
what’s number two what’s number three
today if you’ve got hands going and clap
right there
can i tell you that giving
that fasting and you’re
praying is not a suggestion
hey this is not a suggestion
it’s a standard
somebody said less set
rules and regulations
for 2021. let’s set
something that will give victory
in my house glory to
god when you give
come on transformation nation
glory to god and our partners
and the wonderful people that are here i
don’t really have to stay on this one
about when you give because this is
a giving ministry are y’all in this
house
and pastor michael you know he was
saying
the the the how his foundation
has been laid the things that he has
seen and experienced
you see he came from a given house
y’all better hear me up in this place i
can’t tell you
how many people that we have kept in our
homes
many times making the boys get out of
their beds
hello there was a ministry here
where where people would come in from
all over the world
and many times there would be 21 people
extra in our house
and you’re saying how did they get in
there at that time we had a 6 000 square
foot house
and we made the boys get out their beds
and we would give of everything we would
give a food we would give
a space to them so they wouldn’t have to
worry about paying all that money for
staying in hotels my husband is one of
the greatest givers
i have ever seen in my life oh y’all
come on up in here
and we together have been ones that give
and and i know that the boys saw that
and michael
the way that he has literally as much as
we’ve given
and as we have watched god do great and
mighty things
for this transformation of
ministry and church glory to god
and see him standing so very just
just strong in his belief about
giving knowing that it’s more blessed to
give than it is to what
you know acts 20 35 said i’ve shown
you in every way by laboring like this
that you
support the weak and remember the words
of the lord
jesus that he said it is more blessed
remember the words of the lord jesus it
is more
it is more it is more blessed in other
words
you will be blessed beyond anything
that you can ask come on here that you
can
imagine in the name of jesus when you
are a giver
and for many of you i read many of the
letters that came
in doing crazy faith
many of you sit here my fifteen hundred
dollars
come on it wasn’t all these huge gifts
it was people who gave because they
believed
with crazy faith that as i give god a
gift
back to me come on how how y’all good
measure come on what else
and what else will he cause
to give into our bosom
you don’t know your name may be brought
up
in somebody’s room right now hallelujah
somebody need to declare i’m being
discussed

y’all need to raise your hand right
there
you don’t know who’ve been watching you
you don’t know who has a plan to say
i see your faithfulness i see how you
have been
come on here you are blessing and your
name
is being literally
brought up because god sound calls men
somebody say men to give
into your bosom but it’s not gonna come

y’all better hear me up in here
sometimes it takes
a little bit and i’m trying not to stay
on this but y’all got to hear me up in
here
sometimes we give i almost said god this

hallelujah to give in to your bosom
hallelujah
now listen y’all you may be seated
glory to god hallelujah
number one is what
i’m sorry y’all got to be already
come on we talk about the big three
number one is number two
is let me tell you something
glory to god what is prayer
prayer in a in its simplest form
is connecting to god
somebody said connecting come here
you can stand by me and we never really
connect
that’s good are y’all in the house come
on come on that’s good
so often we can ask god give me let me
let me help but we never connect
that’s good come on come on
communicating connecting
yes ma’am yes ma’am we connect
with god we communicate
with him see when we connect
come here son come on
here is a threefold court
come on that’s connecting that’s gonna
cause us to be stronger
glory to god but we’re connecting with
god we’re connecting with god we’re
talking to him we are communicating with
him
when we need something is that when we
connect with him
no come on is that the only time we
connect with him
somebody say every day thank y’all
we have to connect with god on a daily
basis what i want to say to us
even now that if you’ve not been
connecting or communicating
with your god make a decision
right now that you are going to
communicate now let me tell you
something when you talk about
communication
it’s not a one-liner
it’s not just one person talking
when you communicate it’s a two-way
conversation
see if you if you’re saying don’t
connect we’re saying okay
let’s communicate let’s talk about it
you know my husband and i’ve been
married for 41 years
and you know glory to god hallelujah
and there are different ways that we
connect
and if in fact we did not connect
we would not be able to do what we do
sometimes many times when we connect
it’s not even words there
oh y’all better hear me up in here
sometimes it’s just a look
and he knows exactly what i’m thinking
when you begin to connect
with god on a daily basis are y’all in
the place
glory to god the bible says my sheep
know my voice and a stranger
they will not listen to who are you
listening to in this hour
what you got to understand is that
prayer is the source
here at transformation church
michael todd the people that are here
will not be able to do what they do
except for somebody connects with god
and declare lord what is your will
we want your will to be done
lord is this your will you heard the man
of god say
come on we’re not going in with our
private agenda
yes god spoke to him back in august
but if he want to erase that and say
something else
he’s open to hear what god said
lift your hand and say god i’m open
come on glory to god
the bible says that jesus
prayed are y’all in the house
he prayed he connected with his father
somebody say every day jesus said
i only do what i
see my father doing
i want to give you something man glory
to god
as you pray every day as you spend time
with god
don’t let time you wake up the first
thing you do is pick up your phone
and see and connect with the people on
your phone
i’m telling you in this 2021
glory to god when you wake up
oh first thing you need to tell god is
thank y’all
thank you for waking me up this morning
thank you for allowing me to see another
day
can somebody say thank you glory to god
and then you begin to spend time with
him
talking to him connecting to
him glory to god
that we don’t neglect are literally
connecting with him
there was a group of guys in luke 11.
verse one and two listen to it it says
now it came to pass
he was praying in a certain place
talking about jesus
when he ceased that one of his disciples
said to him and we’ve heard this so
often lord
teach us to pray as john
also taught his disciples somebody say
lord
teach me to pray my god today
so he said to them when you pray
glory to god teach us to pray
and then he said so when you pray
didn’t we say at the beginning when
when you pray say and he went through
the entire thing our father which art in
heaven and on down the line
the prayer that we have been praying for
years and years and years
then he continued on somebody said he
continued on
to teach and that’s what we are doing
we are teaching you seek ye
first the kingdom of god and his
righteousness the right way to do things
and everything else will be what it’ll
be added
teach us to pray so for me
i love examples so in that fifth verse
he said and he said to them
which of you shall have a friend and go
to him at midnight and say to him
friend lend me three loaves for a friend
of mine
has come to me on his journey and i have
nothing to say
before him and he will answer from
within
and say do not trouble me the door is
now
shut and my children are in the bed
and i can rise and give you i
say to you though he will not rise and
give
to him because he is a friend
yet because of his persistence
somebody shall persist us he will rise
and give him
as many as he needs what am i saying to
us this day
this is a time to persevere
this is a time to persist
somebody say persist you have to persist
in prayer you can’t be one that prays
one time and then you don’t pray again
are y’all
in this place that’s as good as the
devil wants
he wants you to pray one time about your
children
he wants you to pray one time about your
marriage he wants you to pray one time
because see
people will say to you well it’s not
faith if you pray again
what god say
persist this man said look
i ain’t got it but i know who has it
somebody say i may not have the answer
but i know who has it my god
he said persist in another version it
says
he kept on shamelessly asking
too many of us are too prideful
are y’all in this place we get so
prideful
and we won’t ask we won’t persist
look somebody said it ain’t no shame
in my game i’m not playing games
i want an answer from the holy one of
israel
are y’all in here i’m talking about
prayer
shameless when i looked up that just as
i’m telling you
when it says shameless asking
you don’t need to be shamed that you
asked more than one time
god is not offended about you persisting
he’s attracted to it
[Applause]
god is not offended
it doesn’t make god upset
that you keep on asking that you persist
in your
asking there’s a real devil
that makes you back up
or for asking god for healing asking him
for deliverance
are y’all in this place hey my god today
hallelujah we will not back
up god is not offended by our
persistence
he is attracted to it glory to god
now listen to the scripture he told us
very clearly
he said ask and keep on asking
knock everybody act like you’re knocking
and keep on knocking
he said listen if somebody that’s your
regular father
knows how to give you good gifts what
about me
are y’all up in here in the name of
jesus
we got to pray we got to seek god while
he may be found
we got to connect to god we’ve talked
about
two chords so far two things of the
big three what’s the first one y’all
we have to give
number two is
come on jesus was our best example of
prayer y’all
when it was time to decide
on the disciples you know what he did he
didn’t pray for one hour
he didn’t pray for two hours he prayed
all night long
you know the problem with the many of us
we come up with these little
flimsy answers
and we don’t take time to seek god
but listen y’all in this 21 days of
fasting and prayer
you got some things that’s going on in
your life
you got some things that you need an
answer for
if you have to stay up all night
if you have to fast and pray out 21 days
ooh somebody real quiet up in here
yeah you gotta persist
hey glory to god and even judas y’all
don’t hear me up in here
he was the right one he not shy
uh-huh y’all looking at me crazy but i’m
telling you
he was the right one to be chosen and
all the other
all of the other disciples why because
jesus didn’t make a rash decision
he literally persisted look at somebody
and say persist
why y’all playing up in here look at
somebody and say
persist
persevere you’ve not gotten what you
want because you won’t persist you get
all offended you get all hurt
my god hey but god
say persist i have an
answer everybody else may think they
know the answer concerning your life
but the devil is alive if you persist
as you come before god you’re going to
get the answer
for your life now can i tell you
somebody said say it again
i’m about to do number three
the last thing god says in his word
is when you
not if you fast
when you fast for years
the art of fasting have been left out of
our lives
come on up in here you literally look at
any of the men and women of god
amen simple mcpherson come on
all the different awesome men and women
of god
marie woodward etta
john dowie these people didn’t do what
they did on their own
they spent days in prayer
i was reading a thing on them and they
said oh mary wood where’s edelman she
would go into a town
and things wasn’t moving the bible says
not the bible the reading says
she would pray until something happens
look at somebody and say are you willing
to pray until you get your breakthrough
too many of us are satisfied
we’re excited about this happen and this
happened
but oh god has given you a picture
of what’s supposed to happen and if
my god today if you want to see it
happen
take the shame off go ahead and fast
everybody else may be eating come on
here but we’re
talking about an upgrade somebody’s
saying upgrade
if you would add fasting onto your
praying
y’all better hear me in this house it’s
just like
taking fuel and putting it on the fire
and then there is a big
for 2021 hey
take these next days starting tomorrow
and begin to fast now you got to make up
your mind
that you’re gonna do it before
tomorrow comes because if you have it
privately in your head
okay i’ll fast for three days and then
i’ll start
my you know then i’ll start my daniel’s
fast
but then you hadn’t told anybody
[Music]
you can change your mind and nobody ever
know it
i want you to get an accountability
partner
get an accountability partner
this is my plan because i got to hear
from god
i got to have some fire on to what’s
going on
in my life
fasting is intentionally abstaining from
things that are pleasurable
for spiritual everybody say spiritual
development we got too many weak
babies in the body of christ
oh the clamps are getting real weak
right now
i said we got too many weak babies
look at somebody say it’s time to mature
glory to god we want to be strengthened
we want to make a difference that when
people
bump into us they bumped into the holy
ghost
that when people bumped into us they
bumped into fire
when people bump into us they bumped
into healing
when people bump into us they
bumped into deliverance come on lift
those hands up right there
my god we’re talking about humbling
ourselves
under the mighty hand of god come on up
in here
psalm 35 13 david says
i humbled my soul
with fasting
your mind your will your emotion
if my people are y’all getting tired
come on here come on and give god some
praise up in here
come on and give him praise
the bible says if my people who are
called by
my name would do what humble themselves
and that word humble in there still
means fasting
humble themselves pray seek
my face turn from their wicked ways
then will i hear from forgive your
and begin to heal your
land somebody shout heal my landlord
heal my landlord glory to god
fasting brings you into a deeper more uh
intimate relationship with the lord
come on y’all we want to communicate and
connect
to god if you would just change your
mind
about how you see god and say god today
i got to connect with you you make it
your food
to connect with god in the name of
jesus and baby you shall
start connecting to god when your
stomach start growling
come on up in here let me tell you
something
there is so much that i could say
glory to god i i think about one of my
favorite scripture jeremiah 33 3
says call unto me and i will answer you
and i’m gonna show you great
and mighty things during this time of
fasting and prayer
we’re gonna call up to god somebody open
your mouth even now right where you
would say
lord i’m calling on you god
call up to the lord
and the guarantee is that he will answer
you
not only is he going to answer you
where’s your faith he’s going to
show you something great
somebody say great and mighty things
that you didn’t know about somebody said
that you didn’t know about
he knows the plans glory to god
let me tell y’all something we’ve talked
about the victory
say it again the victory number one
when you give number two
when you pray now y’all get this last
one right
number three when you fast
lord have mercy three
if you don’t remember anything else i’m
saying for this 2021
a lot of people will do one thing
they may give awesome givers but no
praying
they may pray
but don’t give standards i don’t know
what
they may fast but then they leave
something else out
but around here and what we are setting
right now
we’re not only going to give we’re not
only going to pray
we’re also going to fast because the
threefold chord
is not easily broken now i want to give
you an
example i heard this story a few years
ago and i must tell it right now
abraham lincoln actually told this story
about some woodsmen
that’s people who go out in the woods
and cut
things down and literally there have
been some contests that had gone
on and this old man was
the master champion
woodsman then there was a little young
whippersnapper
coming along so i could beat that old
man
so he wanted to challenge him
sometimes young people you want to
challenge us
you got so many awesome things going for
yourself
but hear me by the spirit
there is something that have us where we
are
we didn’t just get here we’ve been
through a lot
god has shown us a lot are y’all in the
house
we can learn from you and you can learn
from us
oh y’all better hear me in the house and
this this this
young man said i can whoop that old man
so they had a contest and that day
the young man was on one side the older
gentlemen were on the other side come on
now
and they say ready go and boy that
little young
he just cutting those things down man he
was going
the old gentleman he was cutting but
then he would stop
see this is the time that we are
stopping
with the fasting and praying i’m trying
to help you
glory to god this is a time that we’re
stopping
for 21 days
this old man would stop and sharpen
his axe
it is time for us to stop
and get sharpened we’ll be able to hear
better
we’ll be able to give better we’ll be
able to pray
better because we stop and
sharpen our axe when the contest was all
over
they began to to count up how many trees
was cut down
and that young man was standing there
just as proud just knew he had won
and they said no the old man
won the champion won he said how in the
world could that be
he said i was i never stopped and i
would see that old man just sitting down
what the real deal was the old man said
to him
young man come on now he said what you
don’t know
see there are a lot of things that you
don’t know
and here we are today trying to tell you
the things that you may
not know are y’all in the house
he literally said young man what you
don’t know
is that every time you would see me
sitting down
i was sharpening my axe
what are you talking about let me give
you uh our context for that
ecclesiastes 10 10 says if the
axe is dull
2020 may have made you dull
because of what’s going on what’s going
on in your family
how your money was funny people that you
loved
died that makes you real dumb
dog makes you look at god kind of funny
come on now
if the axe is dull and
one does not sharpen the edge fasting
will sharpen your edge
then he must use listen if you don’t
sharpen your
ex you’ll then have to use your strength
you have to be in you’ll have to be
in your flesh trying to do
something that god wants you to do in
the spirit
we at this church we could not do it
these wonderful people around here and
in every department
it doesn’t matter we have to yield
ourselves to god
because we don’t need to be dull
whether we are wives or husbands you
don’t have to be
dull god wants your edge to be
sharpened
so you won’t have to use your strength
but look at this but wisdom
somebody shout wisdom brings
success
you know what y’all i’m about to bring
this thing to a close but i got to show
you all some
glory to god wisdom will bring you
success
by sharpening your acts
fasting is wise
[Applause]
fasting is wisdom
we’re saying god we can’t do this by
ourselves now i got two people i need to
let let’s see this come on now
it makes a difference when you
are sharp and when you are
dull i’ma say it again
you can’t hear well you’re not sensitive
to
to go and give somebody something you’re
not sensitive to go
and help somebody or y’all in the house
but see you have to have an
ear to hear what the lord is saying
and when you have a dull ass
well look pretty dull to me try it again
bro
well i guess you got the sharp one
let’s see my goodness whoa
oh glory
[Applause]
i prophesied that that’s the way it’s
gonna be
in 2021 as you start off i’m
sharpening yourself my god
not doing it in your own strength even
on the first time
somebody say the first time
you’ll be so sharp you won’t let people
in what they have to say
mess with you you won’t be so sensitive
are y’all in the house god said i want
to sharpen you
i want to sharpen you as a mother i want
to sharpen you as a father
i want to sharpen you in the name of
jesus one strike
because of being sharpened
lift your hands in your home and say i
want to be sharpened
say i want to be sharpened in the name
of jesus
in the name of jesus where’s jeremy
glory to god god start dealing with me
this morning in the name of jesus come
on i need to hear somebody pray
fasting is the fuel to your spiritual
fire
come on you’re getting you’re getting
sharp
we talked about the three bids come on
here
the big three you got to give you got to
pray you got to fast
in the name of jesus glory to god
rebecca hallelujah lift your hands up
right now
glory glory glory glory
hallelujah come here man of god
now i know you did not know this because
you’re not at my house
in my time of prayer
but i heard the holy ghost saying
just like it took you a moment to come
from back there
to here i remember my husband and i
being a part
of your interview just a little part
and i just loved and still loved your
heart
because you so wanted to be
a blessing to the people around you
[Music]
you wanted to literally be able to
pastor those
and help them in their walk and i don’t
know
nothing except for by the spirit it’s
not going exactly
like it was in your heart yet
somebody said yet
but it sure as i’m standing here
lift your hands before god
the way you saw it
i come to confirm to you today
that is shelby
god loves you so much that he would deal
with you at miles
to call you forward because
ministry is on the inside of you
and even though you do what you do
there’s so much more to you
and god put you out on front street
today it’s not gonna be
a long time that he’ll bring you from
the back to the front
in the name of jesus
to be able to help disciple
the very ones that you’re working with
because the men and women of god that
god has sent here and will send
they need to even in a greater member uh
in a greater way know how to
give prayer
fast in the name of jesus
and all that you have within you
i hear the holy ghost saying for the
last
seven years there has been a storing up
you can when you leave
out of here you can count it up you can
count back for seven years
that he’s just been stuffing it in you
and stuffing it in you
and then allowing you to give it out at
different times
and you’ve wondered
become number one to shut the devil’s
lies down
shut up devil this man of god was
directed
here in the name of jesus
and i thank you what’s in his heart
shall come to pass there’s an anointing
that is upon you that will break
and destroy every yoke in the name of
jesus hold your hands out
the anointing in the name of jesus
for this thought
that gives to you the will and to do
of his good pleasure somebody give god
some praise
[Applause]
[Music]
i said somebody give god praise
hallelujah
[Music]
everybody just stay standing lift your
hands up before god
we’ve talked about a threefold court
charles
that’s not easily broken threefold court
to answered prayer we just barely
uh scratched the surface but you know
a lot of times when there is one chord
there ain’t nothing
going on two you can easily shake them
but a threefold chord where’s that
illustration
come on i want to put some on your mind
that help you to understand the big
three
in the name of jesus
there are three chords here
if i had just two i could shake those
loose
but when you talk about the threefold
court
to answer prayer the big three
hallelujah we’re talking about
number one when we
number two when we
number three when we
i’m telling you all someone would have a
really hard time
breaking this three
fold court
and i want to say to you transformation
nation

2021

to sharpen our ex
so we won’t have to do things in our
strength

cord of giving

wisdom without her
insight thank you so much today pastor
brenda thank you
for so many of you this was more than
just a service this was more than just
a decision you made in a moment but this
is something that is changing
the generations this is changing the way
you raise your children this is changing
the way you lead your business it’s
changing your life and we are so
so proud of you listen if you’ve never
been a part of something like this we
want to help you
we have resources we have people we have
videos and tutorials on how to do this
and what does it mean
we’ve made a 21 day guide for you we’ve
partnered with the youversion
bible app if you go to the app store
google play store and search youversion
bible
app if you search on that app the sauce
there’s a 21 day guide
that we’re all going to be doing
together you can get it on our social
media
on our website you can go to the app but
we’re going to walk through this thing
together as we close out service today
you know pastor brenda you were talking
about the big three
and uh there are some people on here
that before we talk about the big three
of giving and praying and fasting
there’s another big three you need to me
you see there was another big three that
when earlier when she said your name
would be in rooms that you didn’t know
about
there was a big three there was god the
father god the son
and god the holy spirit
and before you were even born they had a
plan for your life they
they were so madly in love with you and
some of you life has made you dull
life has made you think that there’s not
any hope life has made you think
that you’re not good enough it’s made
you think that maybe god didn’t put all
the pieces you need but i came to
declare over your life
that the big three before you were in
your mother’s womb
they knew the plan and the purpose they
had for your life
and right now in this moment some of you
the reason you’re here
before you’re gonna start the prayer and
fasting tomorrow but before you do that
you’re going to make a decision to
surrender
somebody say surrender today the reason
you’re watching is you need to give your
life to jesus
you’ve tried you here’s what’s happened
you’ve been dull and you’ve had to use
your own strength that’s why you’re so
tired
that’s why the money can’t give you
peace that’s why the amount of success
hasn’t done anything for you
that’s why you’re in the relationship
and you still don’t feel fulfilled
that’s why you had the kids and it still
doesn’t seem like enough because you
need something that no man or woman can
give you
there is a hole in your heart that god
is ready to feel and here’s the thing
you don’t have to be perfect you don’t
have to stop doing all these things and
i got to do all this stuff to stop no if
you surrender in a moment the bible says
if you believe in your heart
and confess with your mouth that jesus
is lord you shall
be saved right now wherever you’re
watching from there is no distance in
prayer and in a moment i’m going to say
a prayer
and i want you to repeat after me
everybody in this you right here all
together transformation nation no matter
where you are
if it’s light outside if it’s dark
outside if you’re by yourself if you’re
with your family
i believe when you pray this prayer in a
moment the savior of the universe steps
right next to he’s always been there but
the bible says literally he stands at
the door and he knocks
and he says if you just open the door
i’ll come and i’ll help you with
everything i’ll be the strength you need
i’ll be the peace that you need right
now i’m going to say a prayer if you
want to accept jesus
i want you to ask you everybody right
now would you bow your heads and close
your eyes
not out of a religious act but just to
focus in on where you are with your
relationship with god
there are some of you in this moment
this is the moment you surrender
this is where you say i’m done trying to
do it on my own i’m done trying to be my
own source
god i need you i’m going to pray this
prayer and if you want to accept jesus
into your life i want you to repeat this
prayer after me say dear heavenly father
thank you for loving me dear jesus
i admit i’ve made mistakes
my life has made me dull
and you are the one who can make me
sharp again
it’s in jesus name i pray
amen amen transformation church can we
celebrate
oh come on can we celebrate people who
gave their life to jesus
listen listen listen listen scripture
says that when one person
when one person makes a decision that
heaven stops everything the angel
stopped singing they stopped well they
said hold up there was somebody
that just surrendered their life to me
they stop and celebrate
and we celebrate with you listen from
this moment you’re beginning a journey

giving beginning a process it’s not
about being perfect but it’s about
progression
