Dan Mohler - NEW LIFE - 1 of 2 @ NLCC - Saturday evening - September 2019

everything you paid for you guys want that tonight in your life we love you yeah all right I got preached like a madman so you guys who appreciates these guys huh hey thanks for that our air we breathe song I haven't heard that for a long time boy was that good yeah thanks everybody so much thanks for being here pastor I think it's amazing how you connected with each other to do this tonight that's this awesome because you know we all we all could go to a certain congregation but we are the body of Christ and and I know it seems like we're supposed to say that and stuff but if we really understand the kingdom it's true we're all part of the kingdom and together we should make up the whole who use so when Pastor says this is regional it really was on my heart to come back here it was on my heart it came him I heard a bunch I just felt like I wanted to come on up here and see you guys in this mountain area I like the mountains too but but it was really it was it was a god thing I believe it why because because we all carry a sphere of influence you guys live in a culture a region an area right and the more we grow in truth and the more truth becomes the expression of our life the more impact we have within that culture in which we live and and I want to encourage you strongly in this and and some people aren't a fan of this because they lived their whole Christian life this way but that's okay who knows you could do some and 20 years later go oh and it's not that bad of a thing you know says if it's repentance is this simple repentance is as simple as going duh why do we think you have to try for three days and not eat just go duh what was I thinking repentance is a turn of mind it's a change of the mind it's it's Wow I used to think this now I see this many used to live for this now I man I get it that's that's true repentance could it involve tears certainly but I think some of us we live more in a regret zone and we think well I've been doing this for 30 years and if it's that well then I've been messing up for 30 years I and then we've resists change or increase or growth because we think it's a reflection on what we haven't been instead of growing into what we're called to be are you guys with me yeah so this is what I was going to say we have to really I believe this I believe we have to get a million miles away from the idea of the gospel however for that is that I said a million because that's pretty far how about this let's get as far as the East in the West from this idea that God's in place just to take care of us meet our needs and provide and make sure we feel good I can tell that's only about a half received popular statement tonight it's okay most of us that's all we grew up with the idea that God's our caretaker he's our Father that means we came forth from him he made man for His image he put his life inside of us through the person of Holy Spirit he puts his ways in us his wisdom in us his motives in us he wants us to follow him not just sing to him hello right he wants us to follow him he wants us to shine his rights not just need him if your highest goal is getting your needs met you're only as good as that's happening and your disposition is decided by your life not his life and now you're only as good as things are going instead of as good as he is in you and why are you listening come on this is important Jesus paid his life for this truth let's make sure it's not swept under and sentimental stuff and just God taking care of me and bless me and protect me and watch over my family who knows it's not wrong to believe for those things but if that's the only safe you have for that list that list is dictating your life it actually becomes an idolatry your well being and all of a sudden if you're mistreated you live mistreated if you're done wrong you live done wrong if you're betrayed you live betrayed and that's a sure sign that you don't have a higher understanding of why Christ came was God ever done wrong does he live done wrong I'm gonna follow him faster he told me I can Jesus came and said follow me was Jesus done wrong more wrong than anyone will ever be done in the sense of right and wrong the biggest injustice ever done to a man was done to him because he was completely perfect completely pure and completely right there wasn't even a shady area squeaky-clean perfection treated the worst of the worst for doing absolutely nothing wrong and he didn't let that change him we have freaked out for far less with me I'm challenging you a little bit we had freaked out for far less which means we might not totally understand exactly why he came and why he's in us and why we're forgiving of everything we've ever done come on he's sure didn't forgive us of everything we've ever done so we struggled with unforgiveness he wants to show us the beauty of forgiveness and have a look through eyes that have destiny and potential involved in it where he doesn't see you for where you've been he sees you for what you're created for and what's possible that's why his love never failed because he never saw you apart from why you're here and who you are in him and when you had no clue who you were he knew from the beginning the while we were yet sinners he sent his son now it makes sense to me so I'm going to call everything that I learned apart from him dead I'm going to give it all up and I'm gonna die to everything I've ever been so I can live in everything he created me for the Bible calls it coming out of darkness into why do we think that's a prayer that qualifies me for heaven someday instead of me walking in the truth coming out of darkness into the light isn't unforgiveness it's not living betrayed because so and so and you still have the story five years later and that's why your dispositions down and you can tell the story to qualify well you don't know what they did to me you don't know what they put me through listen we've got those kinds of stories I wish we didn't but we do not being insensitive I'm saying why are we letting that decide who we are if he's the Lord why you letting the dysfunction of one person decide your disposition your future your identity why are you letting the function of one person decide who you are and how you are if their name's not Jesus the more it's just good he's good in challenging cuz the gospel I grew up with took care of me and then I looked around didn't see me all that taken care of in some ways and then I wondered why on what's so good about the gospel and God ain't doing that good of a job and I really never had a relationship with him I never really had a heart for God because I never really understood God's so bad things happened why'd God let that happen I wonder why he did that I want to write in people get touched long write any stuff on why they didn't let him touch well and it's just God's always this mystery guy that we can never figure out and because we can never figure him out we having the desire to get real close but we still feel like we need him [Music] or you could watch all those crucifixion movies and hear that you've sinned and you know you have your checklist to sin and you can feel bad and you feel indebted to him some people feel indebted to him that's why they go to church sometimes we just get reduced to pen how much to him because we do believe he is are you guys with me make sure none of that stays in the room if it's here tonight make sure it's blown out of the water of your life right like really like out of your motives because none of those things have anything to do with who he is why he came and who we are in you the name of the church is perfect just leave it don't change it not that you were going to new life what do you get through him that's nothing to do with a promotion if he gives you a promotion that's amazing that's awesome but all you're doing is believing for a promotion and now you're on the job and the promotion has become you know what you'll happen to do in time question him and resent where you're working the next thing you know you're not okay until you get the promotion and it's all about pray pray pray more faith to get the promotion but the promotion is what's driving you and the whole time you're called the shine is the light in that place so on the sudden your whole motive is all about you now you're reduced to you it's an empty place unless the seed dies and falls to ground and abides alone so you can live your whole life that way and pray about that stuff your whole life and all you were was self focus and self conscious since self the whole time are you guys with me yeah we gotta get that out of our lives for sure because I promise you if that's not out of our lives when we're done wrong when we're done wrong is that okay you accepting that when we're done wrong you'll live done wrong and you'll let what they didn't do or did do decide who you are and how you are not would be ashamed when none of that has to do with truth yes see if we don't get this stuff we're not gonna run well we're not gonna walk in a manner worthy of him we're not gonna run a race with endurance are you hearing me you know the sudden will be heard in church or heard by church or hurt by Christian or hurt by a pastor and that's our conversation and maybe we don't even go anymore I pop into a special service I'll check this guy out whatever but no viable intimacy relationship a revelation of why we woke up every day no understanding of who we are because of who he is no why that's solid behind our life all of a sudden twenty years goes by and your existing in you attended church off and on you see that doesn't give me much hope what gives you hope is the answer let's just say you fit that to a tee tonight you've been doing that for 20 years of your life he's the Redeemer of time get a revelation now let the luck next 15 just blow that last 20 away what do you do go on send him for 40 years and then you finally hear the gospel and say well it's too late I'm just no you get forgiven you get filled with the Holy Ghost you start living for the kingdom it's the same way with new understanding fresh understanding here's the bottom line of what I'm saying the whole purpose and the whole motive of the cross let's just be on the same page tonight it wasn't so we could pray a prayer and all pray that prayer and try to get everybody to pray a prayer so we go to heaven someday so we could be changed guys it's a we could be transformed so new life could come through Jesus Christ so the person we were created and intended to be could be empowered by grace so we could live that every day and have an impact for his name in the lives of others without trying we're seeing a pen of evangelism just walking in love just showing mercy just making peace why because you have peace with God and your motive for living is to shine and to just walk in the light as he seen the light and all of a sudden nobody owes you anything your identities established in him so you're not insecure you're not living high and low you're not self-conscious oh my goodness you just know who you are and you see that same truth for everybody else and that's why there's no high and there's no low there's no hotshot there's no low life there's just a whole bunch of folks that needed mercy and the blood of Jesus Christ you with me come on anything else is a twisted lie its secular it's the world if it's just in this it's not the gospel let every mountain be brought down let every whoa I'm not the brightest man but I get that if you bring the mountains down in valleys oh so we all needed the blood so we must all have the same value because the same price was paid for everyone yes it's not that way in Walmart price checks barcodes scanners in Walmart if you don't have a price tag on there we got a problem we got to get somebody somebody's got to find out something but in this store of humanity same price every head blood of Jesus why same value his image his love his nature his spirit in all so so you might be a pastor you might be a pastor and lead worship that's double-whammy that's awesome you might have a lot of those giftings and graces in your life but but but that's that's part of your calling that's part of but the number one thing that makes us all the same it's his spirit his image his nature in all and you might not be on a mission field for six months at a time and you might not go into a town directly with a ministry and and go right into the homeless and do your thing you but you can walk in love right where you work you can shine as a light right within your sphere of influence so when we compare ourselves to one another we're not wise but when we see him as our highest goal then that makes us want are you guys with me yes so every day you and I wake up I'm gonna drive back home to York tomorrow you're gonna live wherever you live in this area probably somewhere but we can both wake up for the same reason we can both live for the same purpose that's what makes us one that's the unity of faith come here with me real quick Yeah right there come on I know you're not afraid to be up here you were up there so are you ever going to mistake us do we look anything alike you're not gonna confuse us once you get to know us even before you get to notice you're probably not gonna go Doozers do you know why we don't look anything alike but on Monday morning God willing if we're still all rolling he's gonna wake up wherever he is I'm gonna wake up wherever I am and we can both look just like him and he's still him and I'm still me but we can both look like him guys that's what Jesus paid for and that's what makes us one and that's the unity of faith the Josh I live by thank you did you get it the just shall live by faith so in his sphere of influence with all his stuff going on whatever's moving and shaking whatever he's believing for him whatever's coming and going he's pursuing to shine he wants to look like Jesus would in his shoes if he's sincere about that then he's going to live by faith if I'm back home in York sincere about that I'm going to live by faith so now we got Christ in me Christ in him hope of glory and wonder if every Christian starts giving this and sincerely goes after this and says you know what I'm challenging in my life offense and hurt and anger and discouragement sus tration and jealousy and comparison and competitiveness because I've never seen any of those things produce life and I'm going to challenge them and stop calling them normal because they're probably not huh probably not in heaven those things and let your will be done on as it we always think miracles and we always think power but what about the heart of God if it's not happening there why is it so permissible here maybe we've been taught by a lie maybe we've been trained by another voice maybe we've been homeschooled in the wrong Hall maybe the wisdom of the world the way that seemeth right to a man has stood us from the time we can remember maybe we were born into Adam maybe we were all born separate from who he is maybe we all need born again and then we go ahead and get born again in what we teach is forgiving save meaning go to heaven same mentalities same hurt same insecurities same identity crisis same neediness be very careful that's not the gospel you pray into because it's not the gospel that he paid for he paid for you to die to everything you've ever been so all that he has could come alive on the inside of you I promise you that's why you get water baptized and die in the likeness of his death you can raise in the newness of life brand new attitude brand new mode of brand new perspective brand new reason for being it's why identity is so important none of us knew who we were when we were born none of us had a clue who we were we were trying to find ourselves along the way and the person you found yourself to be isn't even the real you if it's apart from Christ at a very young age you're nothing more than how you responded to how it all went down that becomes your story and that becomes your reason and now you're identified by life instead of the giver of it I ask the Lord a long time I got writers so many people cling to their past whether it's good or bad why do people cling to the horror stories why they tell the past why are they 50 years old saying well you don't know what it was like when I was growing up the Lord spoke to my heart and he said it's because it's the only place they ever found any sense of identity whether good or bad and they cling to it because everyone's searching for identity so I think this happened to me this is my life now the writing books about their life and their stuff and their story but if it's not produced in life and if it's not manifesting him I bet we're on the wrong track but that's what's supposed to die but I'm supposed to die to all that so I can live the truth a bit too old things pass away behold all thing that doesn't sound like clinging to your past that doesn't sound like finding your identity through your childhood yeah are you guys with me come on every one of us was born into a loss of identity not one of us knew who we were we were finding ourselves along the way at a very young age you were nothing more than how you responded now it went down at a very young age and then that becomes our story well I've been through a lot it was hard growing up well you don't know what it was like well you're being insensitive what not being insensible I'm saying man I've got good news for you none of that has to do with anything with who you really are who you really are as found in him while you were yet a sinner he sent his son he wants to pull you out of that place and say look none of that has anything to do with the truth you get caught up all day theological well how come God allowed well why did he well why didn't he stop why did he listen sin trying to reproduce sin tragedy messed up people people that aren't even walking in God taking out the desires of the flesh on each other and that thing's spreading like a cancer through the souls of men at what point do you just say wait a minute I was created for way more than this no matter who touched me no matter what happened no matter how it went down no matter how uncle so-and-so and my dad didn't it don't matter anymore I see a truth and it's way higher when I was nothing in my own eyes when I had nothing to give nothing to gain he saw me for what I was created to be when I was predestined to be and he paid a price to redeem that truth are you following me we gotta be very careful we don't just get caught up with forgiveness we're just all about getting forgiving get forgiving what about getting transformed okay great I'm forgiven but I'm the same man that's like an alcoholic that doesn't drink anymore but he's the same man they have a term in AAA anybody from AAA here they have a term called dry drunk what that means is you don't drink anymore but you're the same person that is not the goal of the gospel not drinking anymore the goal the gospel's becoming the man he created you to be putting off the old and putting on the new come on that's true recovery it's not hey I smoked the joint for the last six months where did you walk in love did you make peace did you show mercy or you laying down your life for others or you're just not smoking a joint well you're with me come on I paid for so much more that's like grace and powers to become so much more this is why everybody in this room was created I found it in my Bible it's a man I read this thing it's right here it's behind me it's a cycle it's Genesis chapter one it's in verse 26 probably preached it when I was here last time but I found in there that God said let us make man in our image so we're not happenstance he didn't just like make man he made man with purpose he said let us make man in our image in our own likeness the next verse says he did it and he throws man and woman in their male and female for his so what's the highest goal of a man to live his life in agreement with the image and nature of God what's the highest creative value of a woman not to serve the man to live her life in the expressed image and nature of God so when you don't live life pursuing his image no wonder life's a grind a bleep a blank we got a lot of names for life life so that's really tough man no no if life's a grind it's because you're living it outside of why you're here so there's no grace and power in you because he's not going to fill the tank to drive down a road you're not created for so you're totally on your own but man when you're waking up to walk in love when you're waking up pursuing is even just having communion fellowship with God wow you've loved me man when my life was unlovely you saw me for more wow I used to feel so bad and guilty about the bad things I did but you just looked at me and said you're so much more than that son so man thank you for him telling me to put that stuff away none of that is Who I am John Diehl zero regret my life zero why because I was destroyed for the lack of knowledge now I got the knowledge the destruction stopped in all your getting get understanding so I got understanding yeah that's wrong now I'm not that man yeah but I remember when you yeah the face you're looking at stuff but not me you ain't putting that on me everything in me is new did you notice the big thing going on with politics and stuff now I don't follow a lot of politics honestly but but they'll know they're dirt digging they're saying when this guy was 17 he went toward this and that and they find that he said this and that when he was 18 and and the guys like serving in a public office and he's 60 did you notice that stuff's happening and people are dirt digging now and people are coming out and saying well he took me in here and he did this and he tried to sleep with me and he was married and and then they're going back 14 years and stuff and you said well you're supposed to just what I'm saying is the good news about the gospel is you could do that to my life when I was a teenager confused growing up sorting through a bunch of craziness when I was in my early 20s I'm sure you could find some things that you could broadcast but you ain't talking about me right see I've been living with me now for 24 years and I I know me way better than you and I know when you bring that stuff up you ain't talking about me you're talking about what was not what is are you with me my life is changed my conscience is clear I sleep at night I really do done wake up Raider oh you did it not all this tutorial and I should and I can't believe I and you know I wish I how are you gonna shine if that's your perspective how you gonna walk in love how do you wanna live in the spirit if yesterday is always tomorrow I'm gonna be real bold in your house personally speaking this is me speaking there is nothing about my life before Christ that is like my life now nothing and time will tell if I'm telling the truth but I have confidence in my speech because I live with me I sleep with me I'm gonna wake up with me tomorrow it's gonna be me yay and I'm good with that see it's not trying to like who you are it's becoming who you're created to be and when you become who you're created to be you learn to love who you became in Christ why is that important there's two laws out there that you can hang everything on it's love God with everything you are heart your soul in your strength right and the second is like it which means he's married the two he's made them the same they just have an order one until but the second is like the first love your neighbor well if you don't see yourself clear how are you seeing them clear if you don't love who you've become how are you seeing them for who they're created to be love your neighbor as your one of the easiest things about loving others is when you see yourself clear through him and it's not vanity it's not arrogance it's not secular it's just flat-out truth he changed me on the inside and there was things that I used to want to that I can't even imagine warning to there's things I were that I'm not he changed me how'd he get me there by seeing me as if I was there right out of the gate and washing me clean as if I've never sinned he allowed me to stand there for him you know what that did that put such an honor in me for him I put a diligence in me I've put an aggression in me man that caused me to want to know him so much more because I'll suddenly mean about where I've been it's about who he is and who wants to grow in me so that who he is can begin to love you the same so if I don't like Who I am how do I ever see you clear if you love your neighbor as yourself I guess you see through your own eyes of how you see yourself so if you're nitpicky and fault-finding with yourself self-condemned even nonchalant that'll drift over on how you view others that's good are you with me two Commandments the tie together that you can hang all the law and prophets on I would say they must be really really important love the Lord God with all your heart your mind your soul and your strength and the second is like it love your neighbor how many people countless people in the churches where I just don't like myself way I just by oh don't take that picture yeah why because the world's taught us all that stuff so now it's all about image and eyes and nose and I just hate my nose why God give me that nose I'll tell you what he gave you gave you a heart and a personality to manifest His image even told you women you know it's nothing wrong with shining up and stuff he just said don't make it all about the outward adorning see we've heard each other in this world we've created standards so if you don't fit in that standard you already have a trial yeah oh I've watched this hurt so many people have grates on me because we're being so deceived and then some of us feel like we can get to that standard so we work hard to get there then you're always pressured to stay there and then you're worried if you're still there when you stand before Jesus I promise you he didn't gonna be what color your hair was and what your curves look like and how your biceps were it's gonna be did you laugh did you love well did you love well because force Timothy 1:5 says the goal of our instruction is love some translations read this way the purpose of the commandment is love the whole purpose is love what Jesus say I give you a new commandment yet it's not a new commandment it's one that you had from what you get in the beginning God made man what in His image in his own likeness what is God God is so why were you put on the earth - love what got lost through sin and man became self-centered and got separated from the source of love and became in need of love and every man on the earth since that day was born into the need of love instead of being loved he was needing them now we bring that sentiment into church now we're looking for a community in a family but you're running a risk because in that same need you get hurt and offended and can't move forward are y'all with me man was created for one reason to love to love not needed be it and the day you eat that tree is the day you surely die and he got separated and cut off from the source of love and lived his life separate from him and became in need of love and every man was born into Adam Romans five and you must be born we turned that into a prayer that benefits us and takes us to a place called heaven but born again is restored back to the life that you were intended farm so how many people in a setting this size get tricked into this whole need of love so they're still hurt well that felt that that really hurt me I can't believe they didn't walk you believe they said that what they should have never said it I can't believe that they believe that and now insecurities and feelings and emotions and you don't even know whether you're coming or going just because of the way one person responded to you that's good don't you tell me Jesus is like that don't you tell me that in the garden when he made man for His image that that's what he was looking at that's what we became and sometimes we bring new life into an old wineskin and that's why the new life keeps spilling out and not on people just spilling out you can't put new wine in an old wineskin you couldn't can't put a new way into an old way you can't put a new why into an old why come on so if you just come to Jesus to fix the things you broke you're just gonna keep breaking things cuz you ain't never been that it's about you getting fixed getting healed and separated from everything you've been through and everything everybody's put you through and whatnot and getting back to him to where you can start where he began I give you a new commandment yet it's not new someone you've had from the beginning loved one another thank you Jesus doesn't get any clearer than that so why are we on the planet to be loved to love guess where we get our beloved so when you get born again doesn't the Bible say you'd get grafted back in who's the branch we're the branch and he's the yeah yeah sounds like we're one again where's the fruit hanging on the vine of the branch and this the father's well pleased that you bear sits the manifestation of love it's so simple now you did it and when I was growing up it was just never talked to me but I didn't know you guys but it was never talked to me it was just Jesus on the cross I sinned you better get forgiven you better stay in church because you want to go to heaven right and it was just get forgiven get to heaven whatever you do get forgiven get to heaven hey you saved you say man you saved did you pray that prayer you braver oh yeah no good and 20 years later bust it all up by life mad at people third marriage they produce nothing in the realm of light but you prayed a prayer it was never and I'm not condemning you if that's been your story what I'm saying is praying that prayer doesn't change that list you've changing in here the why getting a new wineskin it's what changes her list are you with me yeah that's what repentance fits in so when you hear somebody preacher like me say you've been married three times you say where did I go from there brother that was a slap in the face no it wasn't you way that and you say man what gave me that capacity what can change in me now no matter what was was but I can be changed right here in these shoes yeah yeah and I can move on and I can walk out grace the rest of the days of my life and I can walk in love and show mercy and make this yes are you with me I get these testimonies they're really fun people watching YouTube it's funny how that stuff's all over YouTube the stuff that I'm saying is all over YouTube so people watch you too they're not married anymore but they're not remarried some are remarry and they go wow I know if I had this revelation then I'd have handled things different I don't know what would actually happen but I too responded different who knows that's a healthy conviction that's not a regret that's just a healthy conviction what's that mean that means the life I'm living now in him I'm gonna live with that conviction but I get these testimonies I've had I've had many they watts they're not remarried and they go whoa they get a hold of the person they were with and say can you check this out and watch this they get together cry and say we touched each other so wrong I was so selfish I was so unforgiving I so pushed your buttons I saw this I saw that yeah but I'm getting rid of my buttons and I don't know who and they get back together legally divorced up to two years is one of the great coolest testimonies because honestly I'm not being mean and rude right now most people don't go two years without getting remarried because they need to be with somebody usually I'm not judging people I'm just saying you'll find that people don't like to be alone they're there they're there they're dissolving a significant relationship and usually have a significant other before this is totally dissolved that's a sign and a warning to you if that's you it's probably not your next best answer filling the gap that's probably not the answer in calling it love it's probably getting a real grip on who he is in you and making sure your hearts not hurt and making sure you're not carrying all this stuff and so nuts and then to judgment away look just just understand some about me I've pastored for awhile I've been in the middle of a lot of stuff and a lot of people need somebody in their life significant so for somebody to be alone for two years legally divorced and still not be remarried isn't that common but I've had them up to two years divorced legally papers divorce get back together and get remarried because of the truth may go whoa would you forgive me wow I see this different now Wow would you forgive me BAM in that suite I just think that's amazing so if you're not in that position and you are remarried why don't you go duh and make sure to live out that truth from the time you get it and grow in it and manifest Jesus all the days of your life yeah and don't be stereotyped by your past your former decisions or your mistakes who knows one of the beautiful things about the Gospels it gives men permission to change so don't be afraid to change and when you change don't be Lots life be his bride come on if you could be married a lot o or Jesus you ought to pick Jesus what I mean is don't look back what happened to Lot's wife she was told not to look back what did she do it's a symbol to us she looked back from where she got delivered so she never made it to where she was heading stuck looking back when you're looking back you aren't making it there remember how Jesus is preaching and then he says remember Lot's wife she's a symbol to us to never look back well but brother you don't know what I've been through never look back yeah but you don't know what they did to me could you imagine Jesus talking like that if you can't put your words in his mouth and make them fit I'm saying this as nice as I can get him out of your mouth right if your language doesn't fit in his mouth and sound clear then why are you speaking it Jefferey Jesus sitting mount Olive's the hymn and the disciples hung out overnight and early morning he's up try and pry didn't even sleep Suns barely up he's just sitting on the rock every dish where he's just pumped he's brought Peter comes over hey good morning Roy hey Peter what's up you look kind of down and out well I'm just thinking man you know I'm just people man it's just people like this they just don't appreciate me I mean I'm doing good yeah yeah yeah yeah I mean if they really understood I can share this with you because you know I'm the Christ when I'm going yourselves to Christ if they really knew who I was and why I was here I mean I left my father's presence to come here to die to give myself for them his bunch of idiots I've healed how many of them they're trying to figure out what demons possessing me I'm feeding their stomachs and all they want to do is come back for more feed they could care less about what I'm saying I'm just I'm just bothered man I was up all night with his stuff Peter yeah I wish you'd pray for me man I mean I got a lot on my plate dude you don't understand anybody ever read that in your Bible anybody relate to that mindset no wonder we're laughing so funnily funnily because we can all relate to the language and we all know we thought that way our whole lives but we didn't learn it from him because you can't even find it in him and when you try to put it in him it sounds silly it sounds goofy so it ought to sound goofy in us if we're made for His image if we're following him and manifest in him that mentality should sound just too silly enough why is it normal because we were taught from little luck to think that way if the truth came and didn't teach us to think that way and you only have one teacher one you have one let no man be your teaching you have one he's the Christ so if the Christ can teach us that where did we learn it so you never had that in your Bible you in that truth gives me hope because who knows we would understand you have to be careful if that's one of your friends talking like that then you don't just sympathize with them and then the highest grace you can give them the sympathy and the fact that you feel sorry for how people are wonderful friend was talking like that and it wasn't Jesus and Peter it was your friend in you you better be prepared put your arm around them and speak truth and keep their heart guarded and protected not just get spiritual and and and and wimpy and this way well I just can't believe they did that to you oh you must be so hurt and we call that compassion let's just pray God would you just bring comfort and peace they don't need comfort in peace they need the truth they need new motives they need something to protect them called truth to where when these things happen they have nowhere to land yeah they don't need you to cry with them usually that is the sign that they're gonna stay the same and use you as a support system also I'm the highest grace you're givin them is that you understand how they feel and the highest grace they're receiving is the fact that you care so your friends through that season are you going with me but it's not the gospel that is sentimental human life apart from truth it's not compassion it's sympathy at best with no answer or hope for change did you ever notice how hurting people surround themselves with people that understand their pain and that would feel like them if they were in their shoes and they call it sensitivity and understanding and they become their support system that's a sign they will never change until that changes the last thing I need if I'm hurting is a bunch of people to understand why I'm hurt I need people to say well why are you letting this decide your life in them that way that you are look it's I'm sorry they did made that choice and did that I was unfortunate but your life's a whole lot more than what they did why are you so tied by their actions why are you in such a prison why are you letting what one person did decide who you are and how you are today when their name's not Jesus see you need friends like that in your life like if David and I were friends or on the nine we were friends and I'm chatting with one of them and they pulled that Jesus thing that I example I did or vice versa man I want him to say well Dan but said I hear what you're saying but man it sounds like you're really taking that personal then the way they responded you what's any of that have to do with who Christ is in you today and why you woke up this morning but you're really concerning me I've never seen you take something that person or what's going on with you are you okay I need a friend like that somebody calls me as a pastor said oh yeah this will talk to you Walter's really hurt I am zero interested right now in the details of why they're her when they say that I'm zero inter I'm just trying to help you how I passed her right now I'm alarmed for them I'm zero interested in the details of why they're hurt I'm alarmed that they have the ability to be so hurt so I want to address that before they tell me the ugly because if I don't address that first the ugly is going to solidify the hurt are you with me and after three phone calls to three so-called friends and all they do is say they said what oh my gosh that's terrible that ain't right and now the third phone call now they are totally justified being a wreck and a total finished work and product of the ugly and then we might just get so rise that we just cut them out of our lives don't return their texts as if we're winning and every time you do that they might as well sign their name under your photograph because they're ruling your life are you with me are they been texting me all week I just don't answer back I hope they're so hurt and mad right now see text me right now I'm doing nothing I can answer that are you kidding me if I'm your friend and you're doing that you're in big trouble I call people to their faith I hold them to their faith I challenge them and what they say they believe I do it's the way I've pastored for years I'll say come on you're selling that cheap are you kidding you're not even for sale I thought you gave your all wow this could as a pastor I've talked about attending church serving in ministries and all that stuff don't you ever let that take the place of knowing him see cuz you can hide behind you in church but you can't hide being Church oh you can hide behind doing Church oh you can pray over your meal but can you love one another that's how we know we're growing up into him in all things when we love one another I'm just going to close with it huh it's the whole reason we're on the planet and people I say this probably everywhere I go not to devalue a special moment with you guys and not to make it rhetorical it's because it's that important why would I miss saying it here if I believe it here if we miss becoming loved we'll miss the whole reason why he came and we'll get real good at doing Church and run the risk of never being her this is not the hour to brush up on our doing church right there's a whole lot of people Church shopping right and the biggest risk a pastor runs a local pastor a local pastor for eight and a half years the biggest risk a local pastor runs is just trying to produce the product they're looking for do something attractive to get more people to come do better church is never the goal the goal is forming people in Christ pastor forming people in Christ through example through models and through teaching in the word and understanding through life example right forming people in Christ if I'm a pastor and people are being formed in Christ so that they go to work and they're shining as a light that's success if people in the community are noticing Christ and certain believes in people that are getting touched or taken back by forgiveness and mercy and kind deed or whatever and all of a sudden somebody's getting touched because the life's transformed that success having 500 people having a thousand people I know it's like yeah you could have 10,000 people in a church I'm just making a statement I'm not pointing to any church specifically and not one of them have the right motive and why they're saved and be doing church together so to speak and not waking up to be more like him you can have 10,000 gathered in his name and have selfishness extreme I was just in an Asian Church always in church a while back I didn't realize the Asian culture I learned a lot and they talked to me and helped me and filled me in because I was laying on my bed and the Lord said when you speak tell them their kingdom culture before their Asian their Kingdom before the Ragin and I thought okay so okay to say like I think that's the Lord so I got to the meeting and I risk it and I said it and people began to cry because the Lord was on it it doesn't sound like much when I tell the story but if you were there and you were Asian and under the anointing I said there's something the Lord woke me up this morning early to tell me that when I spoke this morning first session I was to tell you your kingdom before your Asia well here they all knew what that meant because they all said well because we're Asian where this we're Asians are or Asians or the Asians of that and and one thing they tended to be if you invited everybody to your daughter's graduation party and missed nephew so-and-so three like great great-great nephew three out there family never forget that so it turned out that this church is they're just big Church there was men in the church that have come and served in ministry and hadn't talked to one another for as many as 18 years was the longest came to church together but didn't talk for eighteen years it was all over the church it was it was 25 situations like that where they're doing church but they all had their hangups and sister so-and-so and brother oh yeah look at him up there yeah anybody what are we going to accomplish if you come to new life and don't live in new life wonder if you come here every week for the rest of your lives and never miss a Sunday but you get thrown into crisis and you respond like the man that doesn't even know God then we have to question have we even come for the right purpose are you with me that's your place all I can do is preach that one out you stir yourself you check your motives you stay sharp on the why behind your life man why do I lift my hands as far as I do on something why do I sing so loud why do I even get up and go why do I even get up and go you want to answer those questions for yourself and come up with some real solid answers cuz it'll change how you carry yourself and conduct your life they'll keep your heart so alive you be your own best Stuart you be your own best accountability partner because on these things we're talking nobody else can judge you nobody else can figure it out for you and nobody knows you like you what makes you tick what's the real why behind your life you get deep tonight and you answer those questions you lay on your bed tonight and you sort that out I promise you this you behind yourself up to his will in his way and you just talk to him from your heart you say well I haven't talked to the Lord for a long time personally like that it's a night be a great night then just lay on your bed you have total access the blood of Jesus is speaking better things he loved you while you were yet sinners you have an audience now you take a humble heart to God you say Lord man I'm burning this Sydney teach me what it means to walk in love I'm done taking account of suffered wrongs I'm I'm done man I'm done just being hurt and angry and frustrated and just stereotyped in and an insecure and self-conscious [Music] I promise you this I've never seen anyone living in that list producing anything eternal and telling me they enjoy their life I've never seen anybody frustrated they can tell me they were at the blessed moment of their life I've never seen anything on that list produce life so it can't be from him it must have came through at him it must have came from the wisdom of the world it must have came from somewhere else cuz it didn't come from him are you with me so guard your own heart tonight please come on frustration it's so easy just to be angry at somebody just ticked off you can listen to me and just get full of it you could just say that that's how you you know you have to agree with what I'm saying and you can actually feel like you resent me just because you don't agree that's a warning if you don't agree with me you should cry for me if you were for real I don't think he's for real well I'll stop exposing yourself because if you were for real that wouldn't need to be broadcast you'd drive for me and pray for me if you really understood if you really understood that one day we're all going to stand before him and we're gonna answer for this one little gift called life here today and it's gone tomorrow it is a wisp and a vapor come on you people better my hair is finally white right some of you have been around longer than me I'm only here 57 years who's been here 70 or more 70 or more look at the hands how's it going quick you're telling stories 50 years ago like it was yesterday I know cuz I'm doing it did it fly by it's a wisp and it's a vapor but you were given this one gift called life not to get things to go the way you prefer to get things to go his way to walk in love and show mercy and make peace and just in this seat into the hearts of men because the kingdom of God is if a man scatter seed you say well I never let anybody the Lord did you sow seed just focus on so and seed stop being under the evangelistic pressure to get somebody to repeat a prayer that you're quoting and just sow seed because the kingdom of God is as if a man scatters seed and on the day you're betrayed make sure you don't live betrayed because you have a higher calling you have a different view and nobody owes you or thinks you didn't wake up for somebody to love you because you're so loved by him you woke up to be loved so all of a sudden nobody can cross your line because there is no line you know the sudden people see how you respond and people see how you handle things and all of a sudden that's so in seed all of a sudden somebody knows they did you wrong but you never acted like you were done wrong now they're really convicted and it calls them to a higher place all of a sudden God is working why because some men sell some men water but it's God who brings the embrace you know what else I've found in that section of scripture in Matthew 4 about 4 sometimes sometimes if you read all the other scriptures in you you just see this whole selling or anything sometimes we read where we haven't even so and then because we reaped you know what we say hey they're an evangelist well the only reason you read this because somebody sold since we all rejoice together let's make sure that were so antsy because we're walking in love we're showing mercy then we're making peace blessed are the not the issue driven must adore the issue driven for they draw an audience blessed are the we're almost taught from young up that that's a wimpy stance but that's a wimpy stance Jesus wasn't a wimp and he wasn't the doormat he was unfairly loved and when they were as wrong as wrong could be staring him in the face he went judge of his fall because he wanted to bring out the best in every person and all we could say was forgive them father they know not what they tell the here's how you and I respond to that if people were in love with Jesus and filled with his spirit would they say the things they're saying and do the things they're doing then why would you let where they're not matter more than what they're created for if people were really in love with God and filled with Holy Spirit would they say the things they said and do the things they've done well that should matter more than what they said to you and that should empower you to stop crying because of them and start crying for them and stop hurting because of them and start hurting for them because if they really knew they'd be different forgive them father they know not what they tell you see how powerful that really is he systems she judge any man by outward appearance you judge with righteous judgment what's he saying don't ever label a man for what he appears to be see a man for what he's created to be because then you'll teach him and treat him as such if all you do is meet a man where he's been you'll never take him to where he's called are you is name here's the bottom line we're all truth about this I mean it's awesome you're really good thanks he's playing this is perfect I mean it just feels right you know you know just have Church you could just have Church but here's the bottom line wrong thing or what I'm saying only you can respond with what I'm saying deny for you and how you walk out your life is your answer are you hearing me at the end of a man's walk when he stands before God he's not going to say did you have faith if you had faith it will be revealed by how you lived your life see here's what we need to understand your life lived reveals what you believe not what you knew not what you heard preached the way you live your life reveals what you really believe and that's why every man we'll be judged for his life because your life reveals what you buy and the just shall live by and faith is a perspective that takes you to the finish line then no matter how done wrong you are by men you've been so done right by him that you're going to stand in that place no matter how wrong men have been you know you've been wrong and he has seen you as if you've always been right and you're gonna look through those eyes not to enable and empower wrong things to help bring a conviction to bring out the best yeah it's what you called - it's what I'm called - I drove up here I felt compelled to come back here probably this kind of message was strong in me the last time it's in me everywhere I go [Music] I believe it's possible for this message to burn in us in such a way that will never find ourselves standing before God someday knowing we've gone to church but haven't become her church attendance is not the answer the only reason we gather is to stir one another in love and good works and if we miss that purpose then we miss why we're here so if you're gonna give me a mic I'm gonna talk about it [Music] are you with me so I didn't come to you tonight tired and frustrated and burned out in the industry and bother so-and-so I came here to bring this truth because it's what he's taught me to left it's gonna keep me free all the days of my life on this earth because I promise you when I wake up in the morning he settled this in my heart a long time ago there's nobody that owes me a thing nobody you see yeah but some of that should come with family and obligation no soon as I start expecting from my family I'll set them up to fail me and then I'll be justified and being failed and then I'll produce something that I never saw in Jesus nobody owes me a thing let me stretch you a little that includes my wife I don't need her I love her and I'm gonna live that till I die and then I won't be dead it's just so fun are you with me but the day I wake up needing her she just might disappoint me and then I tell you what she did now my disappointment is justified and now the person I told has a lesser view of her and feel sorry for me and gets weird we're back to that place where we all being born again [Music] this makes you were born again is in a church phrase but it's a life that we all live I'm gonna pray over you guys if you'll let me don't take it lightly it's not a rhetorical religious thing I actually believe this with all my heart so I'm clarifying it if you're serious about what I'm saying when we pray okay wow that's good even if you're not serious I believe grace will come into your life to begin to work right where you're at so I'm not excluding you if you're not serious but if you are serious the desperate song we sang it's not about somebody that doesn't like outcasts doors but for you I just want you more it's somebody that's in covenant and I just want more of you the more of who you are you see what I'm saying it's a healthy desperate it's not a lost desperate I'm a lot lost without you yeah I'm lost without him why he's the truth he's the light he's the way he came to my life and changed me if I didn't have him I would have nothing so when I pray this prayer I believe grace is gonna come and empower you meet you right where you're at if you really don't care about what I'm saying I'm just trusting God's gonna begin to work in your heart and begin to show you truth about these things and then I say well you better change tonight this might be your last chance he's pretty merciful and amazing huh who's learned that God is pretty merciful a nun amazing I'm just not one of those I just don't think that way that's not to take advantage of God don't do that carry out your convictions today I'm gonna pray are you ready father I'm just asking for grace all over this room that we would begin to be formed in love and just handcrafted by you God that by your Holy Spirit by the truth of your word you begin to work a motive in us that brings life that shines forth right you told us to let our light so shine so anything that doesn't shine is in you you told us to let our light so shine so I'm asking you to empower us tonight to to convict us tonight to live our lives in a way by grace that just shines with a different attitude a different motive a different reason for being teach this room all these hearts represented here all the families here God would you teach us what it means to wake up in the morning and have no one o us anything have our total dependency on who we are in you not finding ourselves through one another but loving one another because we found ourselves in you I pray for that grace in this room I pray for healing in families I pray for restoration in marriages and even with fathers and sons and daughters and mothers and sons and daughters I just pray for this amazing outpouring of grace that would bring healing that that that one would just stand up and pursue peace the conviction would spread across the board the Lord God you'd begin to teach us what it means to be peacemakers I just pray that we would dare believe it's possible to not just be heard anymore the way we've been familiar with her but we would actually love and hurt for others instead of hurt because of Lord I'm asking you to transform this thing to flip-flop it to turn it around to show us what you intended from the beginning by empowering us to taste these things and see their good I'm praying for this grace all through the room Lord I'm asking you Holy Spirit to empower every heart right now to teach us to walk in mercy to walk in love to stay a million miles from unforgiveness God teach us to have true compassion [Music] and I would say most of all would you let identity be established in our lives that we would only find ourselves through you that insecurity would be a thing of the past self-consciousness and low esteem would be crushed forever that we would really truly find ourselves in you God let that young lady out there tonight not be insecure anymore and not be so self-conscious but then young man not believe he has anything to prove but just the joy of becoming take the unwarranted pressure off of our lives God by teaching us these simple truths and I'll close with this people that Holy Spirit would empower our hearts to see these things that were said tonight that Holy Spirit would empower our hearts to see the things that were said tonight that they would become fruit on everyone's branches that our lives would be fruit bearing vessels and men would see you and know your good i just proclaim a whole room of seed cellars Lord that will not grow weary in well-doing and if there's anyone here that is still just lingering in that yesterday thought god I pray that you would just transform them and bring them right to this place where they are in you and let them see that no matter what happened no matter how traumatic it seemed it has nothing to do with now today or who they are in you so would you grant the grace to lekha and lay a home of truth I bless this house I bless every person in our trade life over every family and our trade we will be fruitful families for the kingdom of God in Jesus name Amen [Music] i minister almost every weekend for years and years and I don't know when I prayed that long and felt that intense at the end of a service mat I just feel like God is calling us to this and we can live this amen I'm gonna do this a little different it's only 8 o'clock but I just feel done I feel like I'm just supposed to finish and normally we pray for the sick a certain way and to do a little teaching thing I might even did it last year when I was here but we're just going to do it this way I just want to pray over the sick tonight now I want some people to get involved but we're not going to take long but it won't be ineffective it'll be fun if you're sick in this room in any way in your body just let us see who you are just you just say man I could use prayer if my body be healed that would be awesome yeah you're not confessing sickness when you raise your hand you're saying there's something in my life outside of wholeness and I would love that to change and I'm believe in His mercy and His goodness change that through the blood of Jesus just raise your hands if you want to you can if you're not raising your hand jump up and go stand with somebody that's raising their hand if you're sitting close just grab them and get their attention and say hey I'm gonna believe with you when pastor prays I'm praying too we're gonna believe just let's just do this now if you're raising your hand just keep your hand up so people can see you know who you are just go grab them we usually do it a certain way I don't even feel like I'm supposed to do that just actually this is going to be a sweet thing God's just going to move through people if you're raising your hand for prayer all I want you to do tonight is believe this one thing he loves me or he did never send his son hey he loves me or he'd have never sent his son in faith working through love he's gonna heal me cuz he loves me and he loves me cuz he sent his son if you stood to pray with somebody all I want you to do right now is begin to speak over them just simple command form stuff like be whole be made whole no more sickness no more disease be strong where it's been weak be well in Jesus name just pray over them command form stuff right now I pray healing all over

cause like does it cause you to not see okay okay cuz that's the kind of thing I was seeing that's I'm glad you were humble and raised your hand we're praying right now for you is there anything different does it still seem the same to you just be honest talk to me okay that's pray for him right now for his eyes to change don't be afraid to believe God people listen never be afraid to step out and believe God for things here's the number one reason Christians don't pray for each other they're afraid nothing will happen so because they never pray guess what they always have nothing the very thing they're afraid of it's like not facing Goliath when he's already defeated yeah for forty days he taunted the Israel armies of Israel for forty days and he was already defeated and nobody stood up just don't ever be afraid to believe God for people if there's anybody else out here we're believing for your eyes and you got any situation that's causing you limited sight paths tell somebody near you and say agree with me as they pray anybody else in this room you have a limited sight path in your just make sure you get somebody's attention father we pray for his eyes right now yeah that's good man just speak that out you just went over there and grabbed his forearm just pray right now over his eyes speak it out God thank you restore his vision optic nerve you come alive and the authority of Jesus name thank you lord Trotta thank you for restoring a sight thank you as you see in Jesus name just begin to look around sir it's obviously it won't take you long to see if anything's changed and just start looking around as people are praying you don't have to keep your eyes closed keep them open just look around father I thank you for increased so thank you for letting him see clear and letting them see more eyes you see optic nerve be healed in the name of Jesus yep that dead peace you've come alive life in Jesus name because Jesus is Lord thank you God just keep looking around talk to me is there anything any different any change does it seem the same to you is it any change okay seems the same okay so you say pastor why are you doing is this we're releasing faith were believe in God right so see see nobody have a problem if he'd just go whoa right but he's not and that's what people have a problem and they get like whoa and then they back down and they never believe four things I just prayed for a man in Alaska on a dock I'm in my heart I was so sure he was gonna be healed he had a boot on he's hard walking he had plantar faciitis and he had a tendon tour but it's prayed for it and I thought in my mind okay he comes across this dock tomorrow morning he's gonna be fine because he kept walking with his feet and he said oh it feels a little better I said we're good man that's the plan and I'm just in my mind I'm gonna see him in the morning well he comes back across it in the morning I said hey buddy how's your foot he said oh it was really bad too smart and you're like in the natural you could be like bummer all right I've just learned not to go there I'm just gonna believe God I'm just gonna believe God was stay faithful humble aggressive I want to sew tons the seed you know what I mean now watch this the man on the dock the man on the dock knows this guy he's my friend my new friend I was there because of him I left that day on a flight and I said man I really thought he was going to be walking this morning I said but it's just right to believe God I get home two days later my friend sends me a text he said the guy with the boot I haven't seen him since you flew out but he just stopped by and said make sure you tell that man that two days ago I woke up my foot was fine I walked five miles through the mountains in Alaska with no boot today I walked eight you can get all caught up in the moment or you can get caught up in the truth you see what I'm saying so I'm just teaching I'm teaching because this right here I don't think this family's still in this way but people can feel like they're on the spot they got to say the right thing you see what I'm saying does your eyes are you any different or is it the same it's the same right now it's the same okay we're released in faith we're believing God you see what I'm saying and anything else isn't the gospel aren't we supposed to lay hands on the sick are we supposed to pray and believe so to just sit over coffee and debate over the doctrines of healing we've missed it a long time ago if that's all we're doing why don't we get in the trenches of this thing and why don't we release the kingdom why don't we start believing God I know this that man wouldn't be walking probably through the mountain with no boot if two days before somebody didn't take a risk called faith and didn't change their mind when he didn't walk good in the morning are you with me so that's belief right now this is how you believe in release faith father we just believe right now for these eyes to change we just believe that he cannot even remain this way that he will be driving it and it's not false hope it's not that this optic nerve come alive because you made the nerve God and that it would serve him well that his vision would be restored because Jesus is Lord and we declared the lordship of Jesus over your sight and we declare healing and we say be healed and be made whole eyes be restored in Jesus name now watch what we do father we thank you for what you're doing we thank you for great change and we rejoice in the truth of what you've done through your son in Jesus name Amen amen listen I prayed for thousands of people in my life and I've seen probably hundreds and hundreds and I'm and probably really downplaying it I've seen a lot of things change in the moment BAM but I've seen a lot of things not change somewhere along the line you better learn how to handle that and not lose the truth in the process are you with me yes because that's what we've done we haven't handled that and we've lost the truth in the process let's go after God let's start believing I used to do healing conferences years ago with a man named Randy Clark he's very humble he's wonderful man I heard him say this a long time ago I've never forgotten it it's wisdom he's standing there in this humble way and he's real soft and he says I just know this guy's just the more people we pray for the more testimonies we'll hear and I'm like duh these signs shall follow those that you think the devil doesn't know these scriptures so guess what he does he gets us to question what we believe argue over what we believe so that no body is laying their hands on no body or it's a healing ministry or a certain person that does that no it's called a believer settled in your heart today you're a believer and you're going to lay your hands on the sick why cuz you believe so if I let that man coming across the dock the second more no that first morning discouraged me in question and all of a sudden I get so many questions that it clouds up the things my heart knows now I got a problem I've just turned off that whole analytical thing a long time ago I'm just gonna believe God so when when he didn't I'll be honest I'll be wrong with you and honest when I saw him limping and he said oh it was really there was a side of me that's like just yeah you know I mean but not to the point where I'm thrown away truth throwing away face so in my heart I'm like God I thank you for moving in him I said to the man I really expected him to even well this morning I said that man is gonna be well and I didn't let go of it you gotta understand some people aren't even believing am I talking about them they're believers I could tell us I got near him they're they're believers so people aren't believing anything for themselves so if you're not believing where's belief coming from some people don't even have hope in a situation you see what I'm saying I've been in situations they didn't they didn't even know anything about healing they weren't seeking healing but because you believe you got in there you talked and you prayed and something changed you got to start realizing man if somebody called a believer doesn't get involved that might not change he put his spirit in us and caught us the body of Christ he said the things I'll do you do and greater things because I go to my father you can't let the fact my own life I can't let the fact that my own mother passed away I can't let the fact that I lost a couple friends to cancer change that what about all the ones that got here why don't we just build on what he's doing and stop asking the wrong questions and settle on what our heart knows kill Malloy I think it's down and everybody's DNA just to hope and just to believe I think the DNA of man is that because he's the God of all hope who's ever truly been diminished to a place in your life where you were absolutely hopeless in a situation for a season probably probably unequaled any low time is probably hands-down the most miserable emotional hard to get through time right because deep down in your DNA you're created to have hope are y'all with me so don't let your hope fail faith is the substance of things so if the just live by faith it's possible please God without faith and you were the enemy once you try to just quench all hope so faith could never be [Music] that's why we deny ourselves pick up our cross and follow him we're gonna think for the kingdom we're gonna seek first the kingdom not our well-being his great name if we do that we're gonna be well are you with me so we're just believing for his eyes we're believing for everybody that's all we did denies release faith over people so if we prayed for you tonight when you leave here just as God thank you for what you're doing to me I appreciate the way you heal the way you touch your love is also God I love your father so much that's that's that's where we live guys that's where we live not well how come well wonder why well what must be well I don't know why but this is the third time I stop father thank you for loving me lay in your bed tonight I so appreciate what you're doing it you surely are my father you're good see why I stopped so early because I take a long time to stop are y'all good you have anything you want to say it's his fault anyway isn't that good once you just couldn't you just keep preaching you can just keep going it's your fault you want to close this with something you got someone your heart before you just run out of here why don't you just uh let's just do a little closing song and just kind of close your eyes maybe be personal and just just reflect on tonight what's God saying to me how am i responding where am i adding all this might be a good time to just reflect a little then we'll close out you
