Brian Johnson on Dealing With Stress & Anxiety

tonight but I wanted a Jan to come up with me just because she's probably 60% of the story I'd say of this Bethlem music in this idea so I wanted to come up with me and we're gonna both unpack something together and she was part of a process with me and so that's why she's here but before we get started we have a great friend of our us who sent a video and today I actually haven't seen the video yet but it's Rick Warren so I figured it's probably okay to play I hope it's good right so he actually they sent a video in to us today just walking us to the city of LA and he's really an apostle in this area so I just want to play that video real quick so cue the video hi Bryan a Jen I love you guys so much I'm so proud of you and I thank God for you and congratulations on this conference you're doing for all of you who are attending the Bethel conference I'm Rick Warren off of Purpose Driven Life and pastor at Saddleback Church our worship team has been with you the last couple of days just soaking it all in and enjoying what you're doing and I want to say Bryan and Jen thanks for inviting my friends Joe Darlington dear friend and of course Darlene and mark if if I wasn't preparing for our conference which is the purpose of a Leadership Conference at the end of June I would be there but I've been taping and watching the parts that are on television and saw the interview with the Darlene and Mark just earlier today and I just thank God for all that he's doing through you guys and n you guys and for you guys and to you guys for those of you are at this conference let's just remember that worship is a response it's our response to God's love we love because He first loved us you know I had a guy ask me one time or tell me one time so you know pastor Eric I think my problem is I I just don't love Jesus enough and I told my I said no that that's not your problem your problem is not that you don't love Jesus enough your problem is you don't realize how much Jesus loves you because if you did if you understood how much Jesus loved you you couldn't help but love him back worship is our response to God's love we love because He first loved us here at Saddleback our definition of worship is expressing our love to God for who he is and what he has done who he is and what he has done now worship of course obviously is far more than music anything can be an act of worship if you're expressing God your love to God for who he isn't and what he's done and if you have a hard time worshiping if your heart grows cold if you don't feel like worshiping God you just need to focus on how much God loves you no one will ever love you more than Jesus Christ no man will ever love you like Jesus does no woman will ever love you like Jesus does God loves you on your good days and on your bad days he loves you when you think you deserve it when you think you don't deserve it he loves you on your highs and your lows he loves you when you feel it and when you don't feel it God's love for you is unconditional God's love is not based on who you are it's based on who he is you see you can't make God stop loving you you could try but you will fail because God's love is not I love you become us that's conditional it's not I love you if that's conditional that's human love God's love is I love you period in fact it's I love you in spite of the fact so he loves you on your bad hair days he loves you in the future he will never love you any more than he does right now he will never love you any less than he does right now so celebrate his love receive his love and when you do that you're gonna feel like worshiping god bless you everybody come on we're not kidding this amazing go ahead before we start we if we could get a little bit the house lights on that'd be amazing this putting all this together is a wild load of work and we just wanted to honor our admin team and they are not gonna have their name in lights necessarily but let me tell you they are the name of my to have this come on so with our admin team stand dom jazz lindsey alley we stand wherever y'all so you know we we work really hard at building a culture at Bethel Church and within both the music to use our own people for everything we try real hard for mixing albums for the lighting that the the front of house mix sings the security the monitors everything is at best some work really hard and we try to do team and so I want to just honor the sound Chris Greeley Clint Jonah as well as the streaming crew they're a part of our group as well and I remember the first time we sat now with Chris actually with the idea of bringing a guy in to do streaming and it was a long process we brought Luke Hendrickson in and what a godson you know to our world just for streaming in I'm just so thankful for our team you know Jesus did team really well we should do team really well one thing about leading that I just just this is just we're not this in part what we're gonna talk about is I love giving credit where credit is due and in I'm gonna get emotional tonight because were shipwrecked me you know I'm just more and more getting wrecked but the secret is not being all amazing and showy and taking credit for everything but just honestly just building a team and giving credit where it's due if you're a leader in here just finding people and you know if they do something amazing congratulate them and highlight them pour into them you know Jesus said I don't want you to lead like the kings of this earth I want you to lead like the kingdom of heaven wants you to lead whereas you get below and you lift people up and I'm telling you when you take that road God will build your team like the team we have now is far beyond what we ever dreamed we dreamed about this years and years ago I'm doing a conference like this and doing like a label and it's just amazing I tear up every time talk about it you know it's just yeah we actually are indebted to our team and we love you each and every one everything that you do bigger smaller's there's no way to express how much we love you more thankful for you all of you it's gonna be like this tonight guys we're gonna cry a lot before I actually get started I actually have idea of a message that I've prepared but honestly you guys have heard a lot of messages we've had a lot of sessions and in fact way a lot of sessions and I tell the team because they will get tired back then I go well we got a lot of content a lot of content for video a lot of content but one thing if you don't hear anything else from tonight and I'm gonna tell some stories about a process that God took me through recently I would pray that everyone within the sound of my voice tonight would leave this place with the decision not only for Christ but a decision for a deeper level of surrender and a lot of us think of surrender as a weakness or a weak point in our lives but I'm talking about a surrender that takes every ounce of guts surrendering a little Sun during the big surrendering every emotion surrounding your entire life good or the bad when you walk out these doors that you would truly be able to say you know what Lord we are here this is temporal this is temporary but I want to build something with you that's gonna last forever so we have all these lights we have all these songs we have all these melodies we have all these videos we have all these things but at the bottom of it all is this if people don't leave this place completely surrendered to God it's not worth it because what gives God glory is is a surrendered vessel a surrendered lives that next level surrender I'm talking about the kind of surrender that says you know no matter what I will serve you god no matter what I will lift up a song see worship is just a theory and a passing idea to someone who hasn't been put in the fire but when you're put in the fire it's the most powerful force in the universe nothing can stand against you Church that worships nothing could stand there's not a force in hell that can stand against someone who has realized the power of worship I want to pray real quick before you start just put your hands on the Sun on something next to you Lord we pray for your presence even more tonight Lord that that spirit of surrender would be stick in this room you'd minister to our hearts he'd bring revelation and answers to those areas of addiction some of us are holding on to tonight you'd bring it deliverance and you would break through the clouds like you broke through the clouds from my life Lord amen during worship um I saw as we were coming up praying for the nation's I felt I was clearer today I felt like the Lord was bringing a mighty spirit arising out of Egypt and I saw pictures of songbirds flying over the hills in Egypt and so I just want to speak that out because I feel like it's foreign to speak that out over the Egypt that the Lord is gonna bring a mighty spirit arising out of Egypt and songbirds coming out of Egypt all right well I'm gonna share something very practical but profound if you take a hold of it all right let me read this if the message of freedom and creativity we're in a culture of freedom and creativity everything is breathing speaking bleeding we got to be creative we gotta have a culture of freedom right in the church and outside of the church but if the message of freedom and creativity sinks into our hearts deeper and becomes more important than the message of surrender all the freedom will turn to sin and all the creativity that while the creating we do will only point to our minimal abilities greatness comes out of and after surrender happens skipping that step a result impossible may be temporary success but never lasting God shares his glory with us when we surrender if you want to be the head you gotta surrender tell you story about Peter we all know Peter in the Bible he's amazing super super passionate guy if he was in worship tonight he'd be in the front row screaming the loudest how do you like theater Chris loves Peter he's a lot like Peter very stubborn you know bullheaded right Chris you're not like that at all passionate for goodness he cut the ear off of the guy that tried to get Jesus taken to the cross right I want to read the story I think I'm skipping ahead I'll cook on but the problem with Peter was this Peter was confident in his ability of acknowledging his weakness he chose to the cling to cling to the illusion of strength he acted out of his own strength instead of falling on the grace of God the grace of Jesus he was passionate he cut off the ear he took matters into his own hands in second Timothy 2 verse 1 says live your life empowered by God's free-flowing grace which is your true strength I'll read this again live your life and power by God's free-flowing grace which is your true strength found in the anointing of Jesus in your union with him but after Jesus went to the cross you know Peter obviously denied Jesus a day later after saying I'll never deny you all never deny you how many you've done that like I'll never deny I'm and worship this morning and I'm gonna sell out in the next day I'm at a bar don't raise your hand but I know there's people in the room that do this but this passion but it's this thing about we're more confident in our ability to hold to him than his grace because here's the thing when we have a revelation of His grace that's what changes us we have to behold him we can't just say a surrender Lord I surrender my life we actually have to behold him and his revelation of grace to be changed to be able to hold up to all the warfare to all the things coming at us this is my favorite part or my favorite parts of the Bible after Jesus dies on the cross come back and he meets him on the shoreline and he calls him and Peter realizes this Jesus and he jumps out of the water he swims to him and they eat breakfast and then after this assists after they had breakfast jesus said to Peter Simon son of John do you been was love for me this is the passive translation by the way kind of the only one I read right now because I'm real passionate right now do you burn with love from me more than these Peter replies yes Lord you know that I have great affection for you the Jesus says take care of my lambs Jesus repeated his question the second time Simon son of John you burn with love for me Peter answered yes my lord you know I have great affection for you then take care of my sheep Jesus said then Jesus asked him one last time Peter son of John do you have great affection for me Peter was saddened by being asked the third time it said My Lord you know everything you know that I burn with love for you jesus replied then feed my lambs Peter listen when you were younger you made your own choices and you went where you please but one day when you're old others will tie you up and escort you where you would not choose to go and you will spread out your arms and he prophesied his death it wasn't until Peter blew it it wasn't until he denied Jesus that he actually realized the unfailing unchanging extravagant grace of God and it was in that moment that Jesus all the prophecies about Jeter becoming a rock and building the church actually became a reality on that shoreline he chose to take someone who literally denied in like days before said you're gonna build my church for me in the reason why and I believe this wholeheartedly it's because he Peter had a revelation that it's by grace we are not able to carry the weight of the favor and the anointing and the power of God that he wants to put on our lives until we realize it is only by grace it is only by grace and some of us honnestly need to be put in the fire because everything good that happens to us we think sit we think it's us sorry it is only by grace God empowered Peter to build the church we are here right now because it because of Peter because he got a revelation of the grace of God there's lyrics in the song called have it all that I wrote but I also wrote it with two other writer three other writers and Bobby strand one of our guitar players I'm giving credit where it's due right now by the way he actually wrote the verses and the bridge to have it all I just wrote the chorus and the second verse says this and I think this is beautiful oh the peace that comes when I'm broken in and done and by the way being broken in and done isn't I suck or woe is me or I'm a disgraceful worm that it go ahead yeah so in the fashion translation I just read telling him this is us by the way what we're just gonna hang out tonight I'm getting intense I know passionate I got good I said what we love about the passion translation it tells you what what the words mean in Greek and Hebrew and so you get a really well-rounded description of what the words mean and I was reading the verse that day when David says oh I'm just a worm you know that verse in the Bible you know it's just a present and so but it said a minute footnotes that he wasn't saying oh I'm just a worm he was saying he was a specific kind of worm and the worm that he was talking about was a worm that went crushed that they used the blood for dye because it was such an intense thing and he was talking about Lord that I would be crushed and that just like you that I would be able to be you know spilled out and use for your glory so I love that I'd never heard that before but he's not just saying I say I love it so you don't suck when I'm broken and undone like a crushed worm then this is my favorite part by your unfailing grace I can now lift my voice and say you can have it all I'll say that again by your unfailing grace I can lift my voice and say you can have it all that's what happened to Peter on that shoreline that day is he got a revelation of a grace not information he got a revelation because he actually lived out a betrayal the worst possible thing he could do he did it and in a few days later he had a revelation of the grace of God kristan Cathy told the story here at Bethel a bit ago about me when I was a kid a baby and I had this a Winnie the Pooh blanket and I'm used to suck my thumb all the time and I never cried because I apparently didn't feel pain and they told the story about how I think Eric was my brothers down here by the way he's amazing preached today passed through the church I think he was in the closet and I'm hiding for me and I went by the door to open it up and he pushed the door out and smacked me right in the forehead with a door handle and I felt on my back and I just got up and grabbed a blanket took my thumb of my mouth and walked away and it's a it's kind of a funny cute story but it hit me like a ton of bricks when she told that story because I had a realization and I actually dealt with pain up until about probably six eight months ago just like that where in our culture showing weakness is almost like it's the last thing we want as a man and I'm like oh I consider myself kind of like a manly man like suck it up you know get over it knock it off you know that kind of thing you know but what I wasn't real I was doing is I was stuffing down pain and I actually it actually affected me and it actually hurt me you know stuffing it down and that really should hit me like a ton of bricks we spend most of our lives avoiding pain at all cost and most of the time when we finally face the pain head-on that's what propels us into our destinies when we actually face that pain or that stress or that fear head-on how many face something that you were scared to death and when you actually faced it it took you to another level in your life I mean I could raise my hand so many times the pharmaceutical company I might get this a little off but the point I'm trying to make you'll get one 117 billion dollars a year and 80% is on pain medication in the United States we avoid pain at all costs we hate the idea of being in pain but I'm gonna ask you a question than that are we content when we don't have pain meds are we content when we don't have our beer after work I'm not against drinking alcohol ball the way we content when we don't have our sports to take our minds off of our sucky life or we content only don't have whatever it may be it could be anything it could be something that's totally fine but the question to you is this are you coping are you doing that thing to cope are you doing that thing to celebrate because God's given us so many gifts he's given us things to enjoy but there's a difference between doing something because I enjoy it and it brings me life and doing something so I can ignore dealing with pain I want to get to the place in life and he's got me on a journey where the only pain that I take and I'm on against pain meds and by the way I bless every doctor in this place my doctor which I'm gonna get into my story I feel like she is part of the reason that saved my life doctors are amazing I'm not against that doctors have saved right Darlene a men my dad's life was just saved by some doctors by the way Amen I'm not talking about that but I want to get to the place where emotionally I have no crutch I have no coping mechanisms I can face hit pain head-on right okay I got a little stage prop here I'm gonna bring out I'm gonna show you right now it happens to your heart Chris are you ready for this Chris nose was coming we are made to feel pain but then we were made to offload that pain or that fear that stress to the Father we're made to feel pain just like our bodies feel pain if Jen punched me in the face right now it yeah sometimes my face would feel pain and it would give me an idea that my wife just punched me in the face we're made to feel pain just like our body and our emotions on a heart feel pain - so Jen I won't eat it only I'm gonna do this is your heart right here this balloon is your heart it's read for reason because it's your heart pretend this is your heart and the stresses of life the fears of life the pain of life the fish you says something mean mean to me that hurts my feelings go ahead babe mix them up thank you you might say something meaner than that because I I'm a jerk I don't like saying these things does anyone else want to try let's pretend so let's say something happens at work and it just stresses me out and I'm in and this is my heart right so she said something mean and my heart's like this this isn't one day by the way and I not you have to do this daily for me it was a time where I did it every minute something happens it works stressful all right something else happens and I'm stressed well what I'm supposed to do at the end of the day is I'm supposed to do this before the Lord I'm supposed to release this okay and the problem with this the funny thing is want to do this the first time I didn't even mean to do this but it's kind of funny yeah it's ironic how this sounds is probably actually how we sound when we when were processing with the Lord [Music] so that's what we're supposed to do daily and some of us hourly and some of us like me I tell my Joel my best friend I say and those of us who are weaker than everyone else have to do it every minute but what happens when you don't do that and this is what I'm gonna get into right now meat of the message is this is me this is was my life I didn't even know I was feeling pain and so what I was doing is I was stuffing it down and so my my balloon my heart was blowing up years and years in the making this is a really big hood dog you got me up huge the other hood I use a smaller and then all of a sudden July of 2015 after years and years and years of trying to figure this out and coping I was with Jen at the house and we had a head of busy season worship school stressful stuff dealing with unforgiveness things like we all do I was a Backson or anything I love the Lord you know building a house stressful stuff financial stuff with attorneys and all this stuff happening and then one day I'm at home and something started that but I would I would actually I went with my son to catch lizards because his favorite pastime is to catch catching lizards so I went off to catch lizards with him and while I was out there I started feeling weird my body my physical body started feeling something off different and I'm like um okay so I kind of raced home with him until Jan you know off and then it built and built and built and then I found myself having a full-blown complete nervous breakdown where literally my body was shaking my mind had completely shut off and I popped now the problem of popping is your if you're like me the worst fear that is is that when because it's about control when you lose control of when you lose control and the ability to control to do this with everything and I'm cool I'm good I'm good and then when it pops it literally I almost put like whipped cream in there because what happens is it goes everywhere I was completely a mess they had to call the ambulance the ambulance came I was hyperventilating I couldn't breathe my mind was doing weird things I thought I was it it's hard to explain unless you've had a nervous breakdown ambulance took me to the hospital and I started a process of really serious meds just to cope and I walked around the house like I've kind of like a vegetable for months and you know it just to be real vulnerable um and I'm doing this because I believe that the Lord has done this to me because he wants to do this in other people there was one day and this is worse' this is president of Bethel music okay worship leader of Bethel Church it got so bad one day that I I raced home and I just popped out of in after Adam in in my mouth Norco after Norco my mouth beer after beer in my mouth just so that I could dull the pain the turmoil in my in my head some people turn crazy not because I want to because I can't handle when you stuff stuff down and you don't actually deal with it we are not made for that nobody can bear the weight of unforgiveness I don't care how tough and macho you are nobody can bear the weight of unforgiveness and stress Jesus died on the cross for that when I told Jen that day I said something's wrong I have got to get help but we Mona we went on a search remember Sean folder did the offering I was with him I stopped working I stopped everything I couldn't do anything I couldn't discipline the kids I couldn't do anything if there was a blade of grass out out of sorts outside I'd have a panic attack I had zero ability cope so I got on the plane I don't know what I stick it on a hunting trip and if once again out of panic attack and had the load up on meds and I while I was on the hunting trip Shawn Foy dear friend he did offering tonight I had one of the worst episodes ever and Shawn started playing over me because as a kid I used to have torment and night terrors and stuff and my dad talked about the power praise and the king jehoshaphat sent out the worshipers God to feed of the enemies Shawn Floyd started playing and I remember it's like the heavens opened up and I could get a glimpse of sanity in my mind just think it's hard to explain just a glimpse of sanity and I'm gonna tell him to keep going keep going well what I didn't know is I thought it was about 15 minutes he played till 2:00 in the morning he played for four hours I was completely out of sorts Chris completely caught for hours over me and till that thing calmed down David played before Saul who knows how long until that evil spirit left that's what Shawn was doing for me that's the blood brother that's what I'm talking about [Applause] that's the true friend Jen and I just tried to get away you know to go to Napa together because she basically didn't have a husband for months my kids didn't have a dad really for months but I did tell my kids that I was going to the hospital I said this is when God becomes real because I didn't know that I wanted my kids to experience the trauma of what was happening but I wanted to because I knew one day was gonna change inside he didn't feel like it this one God becomes real and a lot of us live our lives to the poor god never has to become real God never has to become real for a lot of us because we do all this coping mechanisms and we set up boundaries with herself and we can live our lives where God this God we sing about never actually has to prove himself in our world I bummer for you consider it a gift when God becomes your only option I'm telling you if you're if you're going through hell right now praise God because guess what God will break through the clouds God's gonna come through and you and there's not a theory theology argument that's gonna change your mind about who God is when you go through that and God comes through and you come out on the other side no one no one we need to teach our kids I told God becomes real in this moment and my kids learned a valuable lesson in this now they're seeing the miracle that God did in my life and I'm like it's the worst thing but the best thing that ever happened to me so that's a NAPA and my amazing wife I'm sorry I'm just ki I'm talking I you're like my son okay she gave me we were there for three three days and it was trip from hell really but on the way home she gave me a sozo which we talked about a lot about this as she walked me through deliverance like it like saying everything that was coming up on the screen just verbally I'm sorry for this I forgive this I did and I was like going for cuz I'm like hyperventilating and I'm gonna you know and I and I remember it and I remember after that something started changing it's like the clarity this clarity started coming back I could see the Sun kind of coming through the clouds and I started a journey where I got the passion translation and I a day and night night and day and I just devoured the word and I had a song that a friend sent me a little recording um your name is still great still greater than all of the names and I played it every night for six months all night on repeat story my kids love that song there's a verse in Luke I remember the moment I was sitting in my leather chair I started I was devouring they were just giving myself to the Lord and let me tell you something about devotions sometimes I feel like we do devotions wrong for a lot of us we do devotions to get things so we can share with people and we could get so we can give all this but I'm telling you if we can get to the place where when we do our devotions when we're spending time with the Lord pretend like we're on a deserted island all by yourself for the rest of eternity no one to minister to no one to prophesy over no outflow just you and him and that's devotions that's what devotions are and I got to the floor I quit working I didn't care I'm like I don't care I'm doing this for sanity sake I'm doing this for relationship with him and I would just get with the Lord and just just read and pray and it was just pure as fair as I felt like ever experienced before with the Lord kind of like darling I do I do miss I do miss just those moments of God's closeness cuz I needed it there's a verse in Luke assistance okay alright thank god there's a verse in Luke that says this this woman has been brought she's in front of a religious leader in Jesus I've Luther eating dinner or something and he's saying this Jesus is saying this to the religious leader he says she has been forgiven of all her many sins of all her many many many many many sins more than all of your sins combined probably and this is why she has shown me such love but those of you who assume they have very little to be forgiven of will love me very little worried this one more time because my life changed in this moment when I read this first she has been forgiven of all her many sins and this is why she has shown me such love while she's washing his seat Jesus feet with her hair but those who assume they have very little to be forgiven of will love me very little and in that moment I knew I could never go back ever and I'm not talking about I wasn't back slidden I was I was love the Lord but there's it there's a moment there's a line when God gives you a grace well there's a grace in that moment to step across that line to a completely like Marx is an adventure a new thing I said I will never ever go back to where I was before [Applause] in the Bible it's amazing you read about this woman and just different people those who knew they needed a savior always got what they needed from Jesus but the ones who are arrogant and thought of Jesus is just a man it's just a brother it's just a nice word that we sing in a song in Sunday's it's just a nice fat that's cool we'll never get what they need from Jesus cuz humility has to be a part of our connection with him that says God without you I'm hopeless everyone in the Bible you read the whole Bible everyone that knew they needed to save you're got what they needed from Jesus and in that moment their lives were radically changed when we get to the place in life where we know that we know that we know we desperately need to savor we we too will respond in a way that will forever change us it's not enough to see our sin until remorse we have to behold him the one we've sinned against to be truly changed I love this George Mueller says this the great business to which I ought to attend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord the great business to which I ought to tend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord and right now my morning times with God are my life lines all the answers for all the questions in life are hidden in the secret place with him there's a verse in Philippians 1 verse 9 it says this I continue to pray for your love to grow an increase more and more until overflows bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things for your love to grow and increase more and more until it overflows bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things when we get alone with God and that we don't have agenda but just a love on him and get to know God he will reveal all mysteries all knowledge you see these guys getting up here and spewing out revelation Christa's prophesy number people God shows them these dream stuff that comes from that secret place from that connect with the Lord well so he can entrust us because he knows we're not in it for the wrong reasons we do not become Christians we do not say yes to Jesus so we can become rock stars so that we can become amazing in front of people we do not that is backwards Vogons for 12 through 13 says 4 I'm trained in the secret of overcoming all things weather in fullness earned hunger and I find that the strength of Christ explosive power and fuses me to concrete conquer every difficulty what I want to do tonight more than anything and I want to I want to transition into this part I want to have an altar call I don't need people to come for but I'm gonna come down here and get on my knees cuz I'm like I'm really into this right now I can barely move hey babe why don't you hand me that lapel this work ok all right ok it's still going I want to turn this off so there's no distraction this time I believe that there's people in here tonight that I've hidden sin there's people in here tonight that have addictions I'm not saying this to shame you I'm not saying this to highlight something to make you feel even worse about yourself but what I'm telling you tonight is I'm telling you there is a grace right now to get right with God there is a grace in this room right now you might not know the future but you're like marking to say I'm willing to take a step and have an adventure with God and adventures different than a journey a journey is a road map and you know exactly where you're gonna go you know the outcome we don't sign up because we know the outcome we sign up to an adventure in God because we don't know what's gonna happen it's called surrender it's called I might have to give up everything I'm doing right now to follow him some of you've got hidden sin addiction some of you are just stagnant you're warm some of you are chasing your dreams more than you're chasing surrender so let's have every eye closed right now if that's you do not I want you to stand up just stand up you want more of God you want this next level surrender you want to know that you know when you go when you lay down it in bed at night you know that you know you're at peace with God it is standing up all over the room and right now I break off addiction those of you who struggle with addiction time and time again year after year after year I break off addiction in Jesus name I break off night tears I break off mental torment I break off panic attacks I break off drug addiction in Jesus name right now walk through the room tonight Lord God we want to keep people completely surrendered to your will for our lives Lord can I get Luke or somebody come to play piano or something let's just take a cup just a couple minutes for this worship as a result of creation not of Education meaning this you know exactly what to do before God right now we all know what to do before God we don't need some of the lead us in a prayer just put it on your lips what do you need to do what do you need to surrender to him just speak it out Lord I surrender this I surrender my emotions I surrender my addiction I surrender the desire to be famous I surrender all these things if I'm famous and it's true will awesome if it's not awesome Lord teaches what your love is for tonight Jesus [Music] [Music] just ask him to speak to you right now quite all the noise and just listen [Music] [Laughter] some of you need you to get on your knees get on your face whatever you feel like you need to do right now just get in a place and ice as we just wait on him and just wait to hear what he's saying to you [Music] [Music] [Music] some of your here in the photos approval for you for the first time [Music] thank you for your voice Lord we thank you for your voice thank you for your voice thank you for encounter God thank you for encounter thank you for coming and speaking to us like only you can do that about satire they look what about Saturday [Music] that was there's a good God delivered me from the meds by the way it's in the same spirit and I just want as a testament you know he who had addiction to like even even meds that are fine the doctor prescribed you but ridicu them God delivered me from ativan in a month and I was on such a heavy dose but I got delivered in a month and I just released that same duck grace that grace you to be delivered from from meds to be delivered from from those crutches from those things it is possible it is possible all things are possible don't lose hope [Music] I think in next step - and this is the one that Jesus delivered that demoniac who had a legion of demons what he did after he was delivered is he went around any told people what God did for him and for everyone that sang tonight cuz they didn't have you come forward [Music] share about your story of surrender tonight with someone someone close someone that can hold you to it someone that can remind you of it work on your devotional life with him make a commitment to him to get up in the morning stay playing and I'd do whatever you need to do because here's the thing it is life and death but we're not playing with a simple thing here it's life and death we have got to learn like David strengthened himself from the Lord we have got to learn that when everyone turns her back when all this stuff happens when we're put in the fire do we know that we know that He loves us and we're connected with him and we're right with him spend time with him for the right reasons set aside time with him that no one even knows about and let God take care of the outcome I see feeling like people tonight there there's like literally like lifestyles that you have to completely get out of comprends that you're going to have to pletely get out of jobs that you're going to have to completely get out of and so tonight while we're in this moment make that commitment and you know those of you in this room you know it's you make that commitment now are those gracing in when we step into that grace it empowers us to love him more [Music] okay I act epilepsy lords feeling epilepsy maybe someone has a child or a grandchild deliverance from epilepsy tonight in Jesus name on streaming no more epilepsy [Music] I see God raising up an entire new breed a new generation of songbirds songbirds that can hear the sound of heaven and and can sing it out and write the songs of heaven but it's going to take that another level of surrender because they they need to be able to carry the weight of those songs and I see God raising that up even in this place tonight and I prophesy that here tonight another level another generation of worship leaders that know what it is to catch the sound seem to sound and lead people to a place that you long for your people for your church to get to you Lord are free to raise David's all over this place all over the city all over the nations Davis that have a heart after you that will sing things into existence long before they were supposed to actually become put into existence [Music] we must family we are born for income you're moving in this over every heart [Music] speaking now come and do what only you can do [Music] come and say what only you can see [Music]
