Confessions

good morning everybody good morning happy monday this is the day that the lord hath made we will rejoice and be exceedingly glad in it because god is good and he is worthy to be praised god is good and he is worthy to be praised amen amen it's going to be a great day today i know you guys are ready to experience the day that god has made uh it's a blessing of the lord to uh be here with you and i know you're like me just thank god you're alive to see this day and um just don't take anything for granted don't take anything for granted and uh it is a blessing so we send blessings to you in the name of jesus and i'm thanking god that he's imparting wisdom to us to show us how to live through the challenges of life and you know we've got to learn how to live through the things that are going on today we gotta learn how to live through uh situations with uh that confront our lives on a day-to-day basis and um you know trusting god to know how to do that so that's what that's what we're preparing for we're preparing to just show people uh you know what they need to do to live through certain things um and so it's just a blessing of the lord to uh to have a constant relationship with god a constant fellowship with god now constantly uh seeing evidence in our own life of how much we need him uh constantly seeing evidence in our whole in our lives i know in my life that um you know constantly need him constantly i i constantly have reasons to say lord this is why i i have to have you this is why i need you this is why i need you to keep working on me this is why i need you to to help me to guard my eyes and my ears and my mouth and and um and then not only just talking about needing god all the time but taking the time to thank him for you know him being such an excellent uh trainer and such an excellent uh father and such someone that uh is constantly you know working to perfect our lives you know the bible says that um the bible says that um god is perfecting everything that concerns you [Music] i think that's pretty awesome to fact i know we have a god who's concerned about perfecting everything that concerns us if it concerns us god is is is is perfecting that and if there's something that's painful he's perfecting that uh if there's something you know a bit of an idea he's perfecting that i believe that if it concerns you god's perfecting it if it's a marriage that concerns you god's perfecting that marriage if it's um you know a job that concerns you god will perfect that situation that's a that's good news i mean what is proof what is um what is concerning you today even if you woke up this morning or are you about to relax and retire for a day are are there concerns in your life uh because if there are concerns in your life then god is perfecting those things that concern you that's awesome to me that i would have a god and you see how this is more than religion that this is supposed to be a relationship not religion i'm not i'm just so tired of religion i wrote a book one time called why i hate religion and made a distinction between having a personal relationship with god under the grace of god and just doing a bunch of religious stuff and um and i just i just i'm just so grateful and so thankful that uh all of us can come together today and celebrate a heavenly father that um loves us and concerned about us and and wants to perfect everything that concerns us so i'm i'm i'm so so so good with the fact that my christian life there's not a is not a life with a bunch of uh you know do's and don'ts and and religious traditions and condemning people and and beating people up and being mean to people and all that kind of stuff our my life as a christian your life as a christian is a first of all first and foremost it is a personal relationship with jesus christ and secondly it is a deep intimate relationship with god to receive an impartation of his love to receive an impartation of his love so that we can learn how to to love unconditionally people that carry and are bearers of jesus christ and that's where we can really learn how to love our enemies when we learn how to you know walk in unconditional love towards other people and when those people are not responsive and when they are in some cases mean and and not giving you some of the same things back that you're giving out to them that's when you learn agape love and it is a agape love is loving without merit in other words you're loving people who didn't deserve your love who didn't earn your love who didn't work for your love but um you know you just decided to to do it anyway and you're going to need the the help of the holy spirit to help grow you to that point of where you can we can all be of the same love and to me you know i feel like i'm in boot camp i feel like i'm in love boot camp and uh you know just looking at things and say i can get better at loving this way i can get better at doing this i can get better at that and so like i said to you a few weeks ago man to me you know i'm in just like this this season of of self-examination um and i think by doing that that that just kind of assures you that you can you keep growing in the things of god i i don't ever want to get into this place in my life where i think well reached it made it been there done that accomplished that beat that mountain up ah no i i'd rather be a student that's always growing and always learning and if i should you know conquer one mountain i need to be looking for another mountain because i think that's just what life is i think we have to learn how to you know continue to grow and depend on god and every time i'm challenged with something the first thing i recognize is okay i recognize how to do this better but now i'm gonna need the holy spirit to help me get there i recognize that i need to love better but i'm gonna need the holy spirit to help me to get there and that's what i believe new testament christianity is all about it's about uh the journey with the holy spirit it's about growing with the holy spirit it's about changing with the holy spirit it's it's never about you know locating the issues and areas of your life where you need to grow and get better in and then you try to achieve that with your own performance and effort and you know without god um i i want to constantly recognize reasons why i need him and you know you you can't really be like what i'm talking about if you're so in bondage to people that you're focused more on them than you are on your relationship with god but when you're focused on your relationship with god and you as an individual has a you have a personal daily relationship and a personal walk with god and you can involve him in in all of the things that you do you can involve him in your career you can involve him um in everything that you do uh then that that that becomes pretty awesome i involve god i mean i don't get up on sundays and wednesdays like well i know this and so i'm good and so i'm gonna use my charisma to try to present a message i i think as much time as you put into preparing a message you got to put that much time or probably more into preparing the messenger i want to make sure when i get up to release a message that i actually have a relationship with the one uh who i'm talking about and that as a messenger that i am prepared is as well um and i don't know what you do i don't know the business that you're in or the call of god that you have on your life but i do know that whatever you're doing if you can do this always having a spot for the holy spirit to do it with you in other words don't ever um try to proceed with anything in this life in this world without the assistance of the holy spirit because he's gonna make it better and it's gonna be awesome because of him and um you know sometimes we subconsciously do it you know we just kind of go on because we've done it before or we've been doing it doing it a long time or we've got plenty of experience in this sometimes we say to ourself well i don't really need to talk to god about this and i don't even i don't need to have a you know him involved in this you can chill today lord i can't do that i i gotta have him i mean i gotta have him every day i gotta have him especially when i think i know what i'm doing and that's when i've made the mistakes sometimes in my life is when i think i know what i'm doing and i don't need god and you know it's in him we move it's in him we breathe it's in him that we have our very being and i need god and you need god and whatever you are doing that you think is pretty good is going to be awesome when you when you are inviting him to be a part of what of what you're doing and so i pray that whatever the situation is and and you've not been in the building and you've you've been detached from religion in some cases i pray that during these times that you have had an opportunity to develop in a personal relationship with god i mean a for real genuine authentic personal relationship with god and i mean hopefully you'll hear me say this over and over and over again but that's christianity and uh i know it's been you know defined a lot of different ways and all that stuff but christianity without our relationship with the christ it's just religion and um i i just believe um uh i just believe that god's gonna gonna do some amazing things with you as individuals i believe that there will be so many testimonies coming from the world changes nation and and all of you who are here so many testimonies coming your way coming out of your life and when you look back at it you're gonna like man this happened when i started taking my personal relationship and friendship with god seriously and not just religiously i mean i i get where i go and i i start before i work out i'm like you know lord you know got me in the gym today let me not do something to injure myself and and uh and then when i finish i'm like oh god i'm praising you because i number one made it through the workout i challenged myself and i didn't have any injuries and so bless your holy name and uh oh man it's it's it's something now you know the challenges that we have in life to want to do better get better you know speak better act better love better treat people better better in our relationships that in our marriages at home with our children friend um those things are will still be there and you'll go even to another level of having to deal with those things that's cool uh but the great thing about it is the journey that you get to take and getting better in all those areas the journey you get to take with god and every time you conquer a mountain in a sense you have no choice but to give god the glory and i believe that this this is what it is i believe god's going to do some things that are going to be so good that uh you just man you're going to just find yourself just giving god the glory all the time and then if we could see all of us at one time experiencing the goodness of the lord and then like from heaven's view hearing all of that glory going towards him dude it's going to be awesome and it it's gonna be an amazing thing and and i'm not talking about going to be let me correct that i think that this is where we are right now i think that the move of god has already started right now i think there's an anointing that is uh showing up in your life i think that there's been a sleepy uh sleeping giant in your life a sleepy anointing in your life that is being awakened right now um gifts that are in you that are being awakened right now oh hallelujah anointings that you were not uh aware of supernatural power that you've been blessed and anointed with i believe there it's awakening i believe that there is a remnant of people some have never ever been heard of before some god has just kind of kept you in hiding and you've been ministering to these few people are doing this doing that but i believe that god is is is about to blow a a trumpet symbolically speaking in a way that uh the these these people who have been in hiding not that they're hiding but uh you know there's a remnant i believe is getting ready to come forth in the earth and just gonna bust the devil up really really bad and that remnant that is about to come forth uh it will be like we've never seen before and i'll tell you one thing i guarantee you that you will see in this group that's about to come forth is that they are going to have a revelation of walking with god on a daily basis you want to know how to be anointed to do what you do you just walk in that revelation of having a personal relationship with god on a day-to-day basis you go through the bible in the old covenant you find people that the ones that walk with god every day were the ones that walked in miracles and signs and wonders because they walked with god and yet we have a greater greater revelation of the fact that we've been delivered from rule keeping and we are under the administration of the holy spirit who wants to walk with us and talk with us and lead us and guide us and comfort us and perfect us man we got something awesome and so uh i'm just grateful and i'm thankful to god for all that uh he's doing in our lives so let's go ahead and make some confessions i want to spend the rest of my time uh today and i just want us to make these confessions and mean it from our heart and let's really let's release the power of god through the words of our mouth and i like what uh one of our friends said last week we are gonna live a voice activated life and so we're getting ready to activate some things some supernatural things through the words that are getting ready to be released out of our mouth are you ready i declare that i will dwell in the shelter of the most high god i declare that i will find rest in the shadow of the almighty i declare that god is my
