Derek Carr | Session 3 | The Altar Conference 2019

[Music] we thank you for loving enough to show up we thank you for loving us to grip our hearts in your hands Bible says nothing can take us from the palm of your hand dear God and we thank you that as we walk and run with you dear God there is no weapon formed against us that will prosper we thank you that no voice from man that stirs up on the other side of us can have any effect on our life Jesus may you be exalted may you be praised and glorified the way that you deserve father for no other reason but because you are worthy the evidence is all around Jesus thank you the evidence is all around Jesus thank you [Music] just begin to lift up a praise to him for what he's doing in your life right now [Music] [Applause] glory glory glory glory they're gone you are so glorious oh dear God [Music] I'm not gonna interrupt what God is trying to do you guys just keep pressing in you see as you go deeper you're gonna find more about him you just got to keep going you just got to keep going you just got to keep going don't leave here the same way that you came in don't do it don't come face to face with the Living God and walk out this place with more information do not walk into the presence of God i'ma say it again do not walk into the presence of God and just leave with more information if we could just touch the hem of His garment if a table if a crumb from the feast could be healing for that woman's daughter as your Word says then the feast set before us is you Jesus if healing is a crumb then you must be the feast that is set before us on the table those of you that need to continue to press in you keep pressing in the rest of you can be seated I got a work to give I didn't even start yet [Music] you're not gonna interrupt me you stay here if you're getting right with God you don't worry about anything I say you can watch it because it'll be recorded hmm you get right with God do not leave this place knowing that he's here and you didn't get touched by him you're not gonna interrupt me you've seen you praise you do whatever you got to do imma teach mm-hmm you know I love that song where it says the evidence is all around there's no denying God's presence in this place I've been to some places where I could deny it sometimes this is not one of them praise You Jesus I'm just giving them time to get seated you see everything that I saw as I left that conference in Michigan in 2017 I believe it was everything that I saw you guys ever you guys ever have God show you something and then when it came it was far greater than what you expected maybe you're still in the process of waiting for that thing but let me tell you I'm able to stand in the middle of a promise that he gave me and it is far greater than anything I could have ever dreamed of you see God has been moving see we see everyone going after God in here you don't see as what's been going on behind stage some of our pastors praying with volunteers praying with security guards people being delivered and set free all over the place it doesn't just have to stay confined to these walls right here my hope and my prayer is that this just wouldn't be as everyone has said just a conference where you got excited and on fire for God at one point did you know that sometimes I need to ask God for more passion sometimes I don't I'm sometimes I'm a little tired with the job that I do it gets a little tiring and I don't quite have the passion inside of me to preach the gospel to strangers in target sometimes I don't have that but obviously right now I do write I'm just old you yesterday I was gonna be real with you is that Alright I'm gonna be real with you sometimes I'd quite I don't quite have it but guess what when I am weak he is strong and when he tells you to do something again I'm gonna tell you this if he to if you have a feeling inside of you and you feel that he's trying to tell you something you make sure it aligns with this word and if it aligns with his word you do it with everything in you and you don't let anybody stop you I have had phone calls I have had meetings of people telling me not to do this of people telling me not to show up and do this then then this wouldn't have happened if anything else doesn't happen what he's done to my heart after this took me to a new level I didn't even know was there Jesus bless him father as I was playing at the side of the stage before I walked up I just weeped had people praying with me thank you for that my need of it uh-huh I just weeped and I cried because I felt the father's heart for his people you see I felt the vision of a conference and I saw it in my into my face but I never cried about it as I saw it I was excited but I felt his heart for you God who God loves you so much he loves you so much that he's been nurturing a path with people in your life whatever the reason is to bring you here today and last night so that you could hear the truth and touch the Living God because if we're gonna say at our pulpits that we believe that God is alive that he is well today and all of these things then we better walk it out and believe it and not just say it with our mouth I believe in a God of yesterday today and forever that's what his word said I guess we're in forever maybe when they wrote it however you want to look at it I look at it as we're here today see the spirit of religion tells you what God has done and what God is going to do I'm saying again the spirit of religion has to will tell you what God has done and what God is going to do but it doesn't tell you what God is doing right now I could tell you story after story put out like I said the evidence is here I told you I was gonna get out the way and just let God show up again raise your hand if you were physically healed please one more time look at the hands look at the hands some Oakland Raider quarterback can't do that all right can't just put a whole bunch of people in the room hopefully get you really excited and say your body's healed like it just doesn't work that way but when Jesus shows up things begin to shift when Jesus shows up things begin to change when Jesus shows up nothing else matters I have a beautiful wife her name is Heather she's born and raised from Fresno and the reason that I don't lust at other women the reason that I don't cheat on my wife is because I run after Jesus I love her because that's God's daughter some of you women aren't being treated like God's daughter and I want you to hear this that I don't want you to settle for anything less than God's best for you [Applause] don't you dare settle for any little boy that you may think will get you a fancy house and something someday oh man he's but he's in this cool Garage Band right now they're gonna make it big I'm telling you don't settle for anything less than God's best for your life I'll tell you something about my wife she's the reason that I'm standing on this stage right now she is the reason you see there's a lot of people I want to give credit to obviously my family's here they're all here and they all help mold and shape me and teach me the truth the Bible says that if you train your child in the ways of the Lord as they grow old they will not depart from it but my mom and my dad and a lot of people probably spent a lot of time praying for this one because there was a time there where I was far from it there was a time where I was running around these streets doing things I should have never been doing smoking weed going from that party to that party doing all these things and then praying to God Lord forgive me on Saturday night because I got to go to church tomorrow so I can feel like I'm saved that was me I did that here but that woman right there she wrote me a letter she was just a friend at the time and I had been doing some things that I price should have been able to do it's so crazy to me that as I look back maybe you feel this way as you've been wrecked by Jesus this week or in your life when you look back you don't even recognize that person anymore like how could that wasn't me like that's that's like a different that's like a different life right well I've been born again no all right and so she wrote me this letter and it says this it was like 37 pages long you know women when they get on something they just right if I'm right about my hairline for 30 pages I don't want my kids to have that sorry Dallas he got out of the pool one day and I has my fault son I'm sorry losing it a little bit mm-hmm you see she wrote me this letter and out of all all of the things that she wrote it said this say you're not the person I thought you were she loved me with everything in her she wanted to marry me she wanted to be with me and I was still interested in just doing other things right but I will say this when I laid my eyes on her for the first time I said I marry that woman but it just just not yet right just not yet some of y'all need to hurry up and get right because it's time but some of y'all women say amen to that praise God yeah but she wrote that letter and when she wrote that letter I read it I don't remember anything else but those words you're not the person I thought you were and I remember crumbling that thing up and I threw it on the ground angrily oh man whatever and within ten minutes I was laying on my face telling Jesus whatever you asked me to do I will do it with everything in me I will never ever one more second run away from your love you see she loved God more than she loved me and our marriage is based on that that she runs after Jesus with everything in her so that she can love me the right way I run after Jesus with everything in me so that I could love her the right way I don't know some of y'all need to hear that I'm gonna be in Matthew chapter 3 I'm gonna get the verse maybe chapter 4 who knows God's been moving I may not even say anything in this in those days John the Baptist began preaching in the Judean wilderness his message was turned from your sins and turned to God because the kingdom of heaven is near she is calling people to repent of their sins Isaiah had spoken of John when he said this he is a voice shouting in the wilderness preparing a pathway for the Lord's coming make a straight road for him it's either John or Luke it also says that he would level the mountains and hills that he would turn the windy road into a straight road to point directly to Jesus you see when I asked God why do you keep using music because you let me show up and then it's my job to steward myself to make sure I give you a straight path to him and that's exactly what I'm gonna do today you see I'm gonna tell you some cool stuff and I'm gonna tell you some stories but by the end of this you're just gonna leave with Jesus as you already have right that's it I believe though this that there's still some people out there may be skeptics maybe even believers and you're like man I just haven't pressed in far enough today you've still got time you still have time there's no time like the president I thought I knew God like I would get teary-eyed sometimes but I have been wrecked this weekend every time I hear just a worship song start playing I just begin to weep because he is just so worthy you see I would always hear pastors stand onstage and say God is so worthy Jesus is so worthy to just be praised and I'd be like well yeah whoo I agree but it wasn't until I just kept going deeper and deeper and deeper as as soon as I felt like no my back skin tired I want to sit there no no no i'ma go deeper no no I'm gonna go deeper okay that thoughts over I'm done crying no no no I'm not done I'm going deeper I want more of you Jesus because when you show up everything else is made right and I believe that's my job that's what I've been sent to do to just make a straight pathway for you to see the king and that's what I intend on doing so in Chow first for says this John's clothes now okay I'm gonna say this I don't know about you got Frances Cory Maddie Damon there's other ministers here I don't know about you but starting your ministry off by just going in the wilderness with camp your Bible says it is his uh his clothes were made from camel hair and that his he wore a leather belt that's good right he got the leather belt right that's a good product but that his food was locusts and honey so I could just imagine locusts just all grimy honey all over this dude and he's just shouting in the wilderness repent of your sins repent the kingdom of heaven is near it is near I could only imagine that if that was happening on Shaw Avenue we'd probably go call the cops like dude this dude is trippin this guy he needs a little bit of help we're gonna get it for him I'm not gonna get out of my car though but I'll call the cops to help him know you see this this is how John's ministry started it wasn't he went to the right Bible School where they chiseled out all the stuff right you know like all it wasn't like that he just went in and just sat with the ten commandments and just like just studying them all day like that's not how his ministry started but I don't know about those guys I don't think their ministry you know started in the forest or in the wilderness just shouting and eating locusts and honey I Lord helped me I hope mine doesn't have to start that way but this is how I'm just painting the picture for you so then the Bible says there's people from Jerusalem and from every section of Judea and from all over the Jordan Valley went out to the wilderness to hear him preach and what I want to do is stop here is that I believe that as he began to shout obviously he went out there because he felt God was telling him like no you're gonna start out there right like this is what I want you to do you're gonna go start out there and you're gonna prepare this pathway for Jesus to show up right and as he began to do that I began he just repent of your sins for the kingdom of heaven is near repent of your sins the kingdom of heaven Jesus the king the Messiah he's coming and I see it kind of like this I've heard it taught this way too where there's probably a group of people walking by saying well this dudes crazy right like this dude is nuts this dude just went after healing and 260 million televisions all around the world he's get a little bit crazy you better believe it but you see yes about four or five of them were together and probably laughing like huh look at this bomb on Shaw Avenue um I believe that one person place said I need to go see what that's about man man I like I hear what y'all are saying there's yeah this dude's tripping but I'm gonna go over here real quick like I'm still with you guys but I want to go see what's up and I believe that as he begin to do that it just began to grow you see when Jesus is doing something when he begins to do a work when God is behind something nothing can stop it even a crazy man in camel hair that eats locusts and honey that wants to start a ministry could start it that way and people from all over began to flood where he was and when they confessed their sins he baptized them in the Jordan River he would baptize them and they would just confess their sins I'm an adulterer I have cheated on my spouse I have stolen from them I took too much of the taxes that I should have taken I'm selfish right we like to look at the big sins right the big sins just because your lust isn't there adultery doesn't mean you're not in sin I didn't write that okay just because your lust isn't there adultery doesn't mean you're in sin doesn't mean you're just you're good you'll be all right we are all in desperate need of Jesus and she as they became to come out the water they would shout out their their problems the things that they're dealing with the things that there's been going on in their heart see maybe some of y'all need a heart change some of y'all still are holding some grudges you found Jesus but you still want to hold on to that hate that you have because they were wrong did you know that while you were still sinners while we were still sinners Christ for us so don't the people that have wronged us still deserve love - even if they don't deserve it you're telling me that God wants me to love people even if they don't deserve it absolutely did you deserve his love that's your worst moment did you really deserve someone dying for you if I'm gonna be honest I don't think so maybe that's just me yeah verse seven says this but when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to be baptized he denounced them oh I love this you brood of snakes snake see I don't like snakes we lived in Houston Texas thanks Dave we lived in Houston Texas and we would get water moccasins in our house and now I deathly I'm afraid of snakes you see even the devil was a snake see I'm just trying to make a point that snakes are bad if you have a snake at your house and I'm just kidding you brood of snakes he exclaimed who warned you to flee God's coming judgment here's my favorite part of this oh and it gets better after this but I can't wait prove by the way that you live that you have really turned from your sins and turn to God don't just say we are safe we are descendants of Abraham that proves nothing God can change these stones here into children of Abraham even now the acts of God's judgment is poised and ready to sever your roots yes every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into fire just like Francis said derec you're telling me he's gonna he'll chop me down thought no no the Bible is I tried to be like Francis No he so be so soft and peaceful I just love his heart right tender gasp I love that man I'm a little rough around I'm Rader right that's cute you see this what I love about this is that he's telling them don't just show up to the conference right don't just show up to where God is doing something with dress nice and putting on a front like we've been talking about it all week man he wants the deepest darkest part of you to just be brought to light there are some things there are some amazing people in here that are on the fast track to heaven let me tell you but you've got some stuff deep down that you ain't fixed yet you got some stuff deep in your inners is that scientific deep in here that God is trying to get ripped out of you because he wants to prune you and clip you and make you exactly who you want to eat you to be do you know that when God cuts away at you it's not comfortable sometimes when God is trying to remove some stuff from your life it sucks can I say that standing there preaching it's real like it is not easy man it is not easy for voices to come against you when all you've tried to do is love them back it is not easy to continually stand for Jesus and continually run after Jesus and voices come against you saying no no we don't want anything to do with that you see I live in the area sometimes where I get told and yeah that's not for me but I'm gonna keep proving with my life that I live for him and I'm not just gonna say it cuz I'm standing on a stage you see I heard this add to one time I've got a good mentor that if you really want to find out about someone have their wife introduce them you really want to find out about them CBI or whatever we'll like here he is like you probably gonna change the way you think about the guy right but if she says he is he's passionate he is loving he is faithful you see those are proven with actions not just words see I'm trying to prove that that I am a follower of Jesus with my actions you mean you're crazy enough to stand on stage and risk your reputation and go after healing absolutely I'm gonna risk it with my life because I just saw there's change I'm not ashamed of the gospel I'm not ashamed of what the gospel can do verse 11 John says i baptize with water those who turn from their sins and turn to God but someone is coming soon who is far greater than I am so much greater that I am NOT even worthy to be his slave he will be bad you will be he will be baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire he is ready to separate shaf from the grain with his winnowing fork then he will clean up the threshing area storing the grain and his barn but burning the chafed with never-ending fire this is real stuff it gets real sometimes when you read the Bible and I'm like dang I like I probably shouldn't have said that to my wife let you take the trash out and okay well I just went to work why not no I'm just kidding yeah that spoke to some of y'all you work you don't get hit by von Miller you see as I believe that this was happening I'm gonna close that you can read it I god is just telling me just to tell the story so as I believe that he was just standing there looking like a crazy guy and people began to show up and these guys came up and he denounced them and all of these things you see what John had the opportunity to do is the Bible says this that all before John everyone kept saying someone is coming someone is coming someone is coming the kingdom of heaven is near it's right here it's coming people are being baptized there are thousands of people all around imagine there was just a little puddle in the middle of this place and this place was filled up and people are just being dunked and just radically changed right just imagine there they don't even care what anybody thinks they are shouting out their sand they are repenting before the Lord imagine how beautiful that would be some of you ministers some of you pastors could probably put yourself in that position put yourself in that place like wow God is using me like this you see God has placed me in a place where not one but two of our family's names are on the football field stadium like like we did something in football here like that was cool right like that's amazing he's allowed both of us and my brother Darren state championship winning coach like this is crazy my dad dunked it 50 like he's blessed us right I just want to say that to brag on you dad he was 50 and he dunked it you see God has done some crazy things for us he's done some amazing things and put me on a stage in front of thousands of people and I should you know there's a little bit of me back in the day that would have stood here and be like man look man Hey look what I did you know like dang man this is cool because I threw some touchdowns people want to show up right there would have been a little bit of that in me if I'm just being honest now I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't I wouldn't have spoken it but there would've been a little bit of that at me so I could imagine being in that moment just me and people are being right in the middle of the probably the most amazing part of his ministry he's standing here and he says something that is unbelievable to me it blows my mind that while all of that stuff is going on in the midst of everything where people are being saved in repenting amidst of what we've seen today right immense of everything we've seen over this weekend he gets me he gets to do this he gets to do something that no one in the history of the world got to do and it's this everyone that said someone's coming someone's coming John got to stand there and immense tall of that he still knew where to keep his eyes and he says amongst all of those people and all these great things going on behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world see I don't think you grabbed that a little bit amongst everything in his profession that could be amazing people are being set free lives are being transformed he gets to stand onstage in front of everybody and while it's all going on in all of the attention is on him he gets to say behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world Jesus shows up for the first time in that moment and John gets to go there he is stop looking at me I'm not even worthy to do this for him I'm not even worthy to baptize him you should be baptizing me like there he is and he gets the point at him the platform that I've been given from God I get to do this I get to say behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world amongst all the success the fame all of those kind of things every every day with my life I get to say behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world with my actions there he is man heat man Derek I can't believe you were so nice you did it man it wasn't me because if you knew me that wouldn't happened if you knew me none of that would have happened I wouldn't have given that what that just doesn't make sense my business manager is here he would inform you that you probably shouldn't give that yeah but God told me to thank the Lord that he's with me on that you see I get to point straight to Jesus with my life I get to stand on a stage and say look man here if the worship team if y'all wouldn't mind wherever y'all are out I'll give you some time y'all can run back take your time find them if there isn't anybody we got somebody out there some of y'all can play some piano that we asked to come join us Korie you can play the piano we'll get somebody someone will join me if not I'm gonna beg Nicky Nicky please Nicky we need you but in a moment they'll be here but what I want to say to you is this is that what is your life point at some of you are in some downtime some of you are in some really great times is your life gonna continue the point yeah I like you man look what God is doing through me right are you just going get out the way and let Jesus show up you see what we did we tried to do is we tried to bring we tried to bring some people that all they do with their life is run after Jesus because as we run after Jesus as leaders of a conference in our professions in our households you see as we run after Jesus all things are made well there is peace in your home there is love in your hearts there's the repentance of sin supernatural things begin to happen when Jesus is involved jesus is alive and well seated at the right hand of the Father he's alive today no other religion can say that we get to point right to him I get to get out of the way and say behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and we're gonna do that I'm gonna point straight to Jesus with my life that's the platform I've been given wouldn't trade it for anything in the world I don't need enough money to go to Target get what we need people know my name in other countries all that stuff is cool I get to throw touchdowns and people cheer and when I throw a ball away people boo me why do you throw it to the running back cuz you don't know what the read was [Applause] I'm go use my life to point directly to Jesus now this is the point that I wanted to hit you see I wanted to set the stage a little bit okay I want to set the stage just for a second of what I what my goal was my goal was to stand up here and talk to you about John the Baptist a man that was doing some awesome things and point you straight to Jesus right that was my goal now I want to tell you this as Jesus was baptized he came out of the water and a voice from heaven said this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased some of you have given your life to Jesus this weekend and I want you to know that God is already pleased with you there's nothing Ministry hadn't even started yet you understand what I'm saying his ministry hadn't even started yet and God said this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased as soon as your heart turned over the keys to God as soon as you said no I'm walking with Him he is already pleased with you you don't have to earn it I'm sorry that if your religion taught you that you have something to earn Jesus already paid for everything you think you have to earn and I'm sorry if that's the first hour you're offended by that but that's just the truth it's not oh man but I got to do this and this and this and I'll get like a three-story house in heaven or something it doesn't work that way you see story of the prodigal son is why he was living theirs as a dad a father and two boys and one of them the prodigal son you know the story he runs away gets his inheritance spends it on wild living right and he wastes it all the way he wastes the whole thing away and this is the beautiful part of the story that I'm not gonna teach you the whole thing I'd be here for another two hours talking about that story I love it here's the beautiful part that when the Sun finally decided no I I need to go home see he's making up in his head man I'm gonna have to dad I've sinned against you I've sinned against the family and all these kind of things like forgive me please like all that he comes back he's going to come back and say these things Bible says that the Sun came over the hill the dad saw him from far off and ran out and met him as soon as you turned around and turned that thing in your heart back to Jesus he's already there waiting for you like this he's already sitting there waiting for you just like this saying come on come on out of all the things that he's got going on you say man Jesus is doing all these crazy things why does he care about me out of all the things that father was doing he was still looking for his son to come up over that hill he's been looking for you to run after him there is more that he's calling you to in your hearts there is more that he's calling you to in your lives he's just sitting there waiting for you just come on come on come over that hill and run to me come over that hill and run to me and I'll get that thing in your heart straightened out come over that hill and I'll get that job situation straight it out come on over that hill and run with me come on over that hill let me heal your body come on over that hill and let me touch your son let me bless him some of y'all are waiting for some kids to come back to your homes some of them have ran away and I know that you're sitting there looking over that hill waiting for that time to come and I want to tell you that Jesus once that time to be now but hey you got to come do it for him maybe I believe in intercessory prayer I believe that we can intercede on someone else's behalf and Jesus can show up in their life I believe that we can intercede on a loved one's behalf I say that to you because that's what I'm living in right now interceding on the people I love so much on their behalf saying Jesus please show up for them they didn't eat you way more than I need you I'm fine I'll be all right but Jesus show up for them please show up for them I love them that much and I believe that God is doing the same thing to you he sitting there saying come on I love you so much just come on come on over that hill Dericks pointed you to me come on run to me and saying this teaching in this the next chapter I just told you that the Bible says that when Jesus came out of the water the Bible says if you or the Bible says this that God voice descended from heaven and said this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased you see in the very next chapter Jesus goes out to the desert and he's tempted by the devil right I want to bring something to your attention the devil has been trying to attack my family for a week and a half now he's been trying to attack my family oh I'm gonna do this yeah I'm gonna do it he's been trying to attack my family for years now and guess what he can't have them not one more second [Applause] the devil says to Jesus if you are the son of God he says it to him three different times I'm not gonna read the whole thing say if you are the son of God if you are the son of God throw yourself off this thing surely God will catch you serious angels' will protect you if you are the son of God what voice are you listening to the world's or God's because God just the chapter before said this is my beloved Son in whom I'm already well pleased what voices are you listening to saying oh no that can't happen no no that just hasn't happened in anyone else's life so it can't happen in yours but what is God saying that's what I want to ask you tonight that is the main point that I wanted to get to I wanted to point you to Jesus I wanted to get you stirred up to say this which voice are you listening to because if you listen to the world's voice if you listen to their thoughts and their ideas sometimes you're a loser sometimes you're not good enough sometimes you're not enough you don't measure up sometimes you don't meet the standard that they have set for you the only standard that you have to meet is the one that God has set for you and that is this that you are already beloved you just have to come to the realization in your heart that he already loves you the God in heaven loves you so much that he just wants to lay his hand on your life and just say come on I want to walk with you says my yoke is easy and my burden is light do you know what a yoke is it's got a spot for to google it he wants you to put your head in there with him and guess what he's going to do all the work man he just wants to walk with you he just wants to carry you through everything that you're going through but I believe this with everything in me that the season of just I'm gonna say it this way that the preaching and the teaching of just teaching you how to get by things giving you 12 steps to kind of weave you through depression I believe with everything in me that one moment in God's presence can get that depression out of you in an instant [Applause] which voice are you listening to them you don't have to take my word for it God's been speaking this whole weekend you just got to open your eyes and open your heart I want you guys to close your eyes for a second don't fall asleep I'm almost done everything was led to this so that I could point you into Jesus's hands everything has led to this moment right here there was still some of you you know we've had altar calls and people have just been getting right with God all week and it's been crazy some of you still don't know Jesus I'm gonna tell you real quick even atheists know that Jesus was a real person I will tell you the difference though that Christians believe Christians believe that he is the son of God that he came to this earth lived a perfect life blameless sinless took a beating so bad that you couldn't even recognize his face and he took that beating while we were still sinners he hung up on a cross and was marked and ridiculed and laughed at any all been mocked ridiculed or laughed at in your life I know I have and as he did that he hung on the cross he died but three days later Jesus rose again and is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven and he defeated the grave you say why you telling me that because he did that for you some of you've been living with Jesus some of you have not same and Eric I need the honey I don't understand it all I don't have all the answers but I need this God that you are talking about right now you see this same God grabbed my heart when I knew everything there was to know about God I knew all about him I was raised in the church but I didn't know Jesus the way I knew him until he met me in my room on that Fresno on the Fresno State campus just south of Shaw Avenue I didn't know that guy when he showed up everything changed if y'all want that Jesus will you just raise your hand those of you that raised your hand I'm just gonna I'm just gonna get right to it I want you to come forward come on come on come on I think we can do better than that come on come on come on come on let's go let's go yes there's more of you you better get out to your seat and stop caring what they think about you you better get up if you will not be bold in here in God's house then you will not be bold when you leave these doors I want you to know all of you that are coming there's still more coming and we will wait that all of heaven is celebrating your decision right now all of Heaven is celebrating you right now here's the beautiful thing when you get a whole foul mm of people together you that are accepting Christ for the first time or trying to get back right you literally saw random strangers healed you literally saw people being delivered all weekend's you literally saw with your own two eyes and felt in your heart what he's doing to you right now don't you let anything ever convince you otherwise that that can't happen don't you ever let anyone tell you in this worth that Jesus can't do what he's done this weekend because you've already seen it why do you think we all got together and just put ourselves on the line all the time speaking for Jesus it's because we've touched the same Jesus that you're touching right now we've gotten a grasp of that Jesus now look at you I want to pray over you Jesus right now I pray that you would forgive them of their sins father God they would confess this in their heart and make this their prayer their God that you would make them white as snow dear God you'd put their sins as far as the East is from the West that they'd commit with their mouths that Jesus you are Lord and God did raise you from the Holy Spirit that you would fall on them right now you would lead them and guide them into all truth just like your word says father God and that these people right here these precious people whom you love would always run to your feet Jesus we thank you for their salvation we thank you we lift up a shout right now of praise and of glory and of honor Durga ha

y'all got some stuff going on in life I do this guy has a lot of stuff going on how many y'all need to touch from Jesus in your life see I believe this that God can set free that he can deliver you from your addictions that he can heal your body that's what I believe that's the God that I believe in and guess what that God that I believe in has only proven me right because I ran after him with everything in me you believers right here you're new believers don't ever graduate from the feet of Jesus do not ever leave his doorstep you you have questions you need some answers getting a good Bible based church okay do you read the Word of God if you don't understand something let me say this wherever you see God moving get with those people and say man yeah I need to know some more stuff if you don't have it all figured out that's alright but there are some great churches here in this area that would love to disciple you and teach you and raise you guys up it's not just a decision or a moment that you made just because it was cool this is a lifestyle the Bible says if you are lukewarm I will spit you out of my mouth if you came up here saying well that sounds cool but I still run
