this time it's time for the word of God amen amen all the way from Dallas Texas Amen pastor Carter we're so happy to have you with us a man I had the privilege when I lived in Dallas I used to visit your church quite often Amen eight o'clock he blessed us ten o'clock he blessed us this is pastors friend and brother a dynamic man of God will you please receive the past of Concord Church all the way from Dallas Texas pastor Carter a man a man it's a joy before you take your seats I just want to express my sincere appreciation to your pastor pastor charles Jenkins and all that he means to me I've been here the last three weeks was here for the homegoing celebration of dr. Evans back last weekend for the retirement party and celebration and today as we mark these final moments your pastors admired across this country and he's admired for his leadership he's admired for his vision some people can catch the baton well but your pastors also model for us how to pass it on well as he's done for Pastor resident Shara would you just take a moment just to honor the man of God and all that he means to you all that he means to me and all that he means to the kingdom you may take your seats one of the ways that God blesses us is by sending us friends and he has been a friend to me indeed our families will be together for the holidays in just a few days he has three kids I got three kids both been married around the same time both followed legends and ministry and so a lot in common and I'm incredibly thankful for his French - congratulations fellowship on baptizing 44 people Wow what a way to end the year what a way to end the year family if you have your Bibles I want you to meet me any fee since chapter 3 it fees in chapter 3 if you will meet me there and we're going to read a few verses out of that particular chapter we'll start at the 14th verse and read through the conclusion of the chapter Ephesians chapter 3 verses 14 through 21 verses 14 through 21 and it reads this way for this reason I kneel before the father from every from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name and I pray love his glorious riches he makes strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being so the Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith and I pray that you being rooted and established in love may have power together with all the Lord's holy people to grasp how I long and high and deep is a love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God verse 20 now to him who was able to do one version says exceedingly abundantly immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within us to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever amen for a few moments friends I want to talk about a prayer for my pastor a prayer for my pastor a prayer for my pet Christmas is in the air we can see the signs all around us families are planning their gatherings people making holiday travel plans tears of out of school teachers are out of school people are purchasing your gifts trees have been laid out decorated lights of flowing people are making plans Christmas is in the air and all of us know what it's like in this Christmas holiday season to go about trying to buy gifts for those that we love some people are easy to shop for it's easy to go and get a small gift for small token it's easy to please some but then there are some in our lives that we have to go the great week search high and low trying to what find the right thing to be able to express our love and appreciation for that person as we consider the season in which fellowship church is as we in 2019 and also mark the retirement of pastor Jenkins I have to ask the question what is the perfect gift for a pastor like pastor Jenkins I'm sure that you've honored him in many ways already and will continue to honor him but I want to suggest that there's a prayer any feast in chapter 3 that could be the perfect present for pastor Jenkins as you think about his impact on your life as you think about his impact in this church I believe that Paul's prayer in this particular chapter gives us directions on how we can honor God by praying for pastor in this season I love this particular text matter of fact I just wanna I want to focus on verses verse 20 of this particular passage there's much to be saying but I just wanna I want to get to verse 20 verse 20 begins this way it says now it's interesting because this prayer this mentioned in Ephesians 3 in 20 there are there's a prayer dismiss it in chapter 1 but is also a prayer mentioned in chapter 2 chapter 3 and the first portion of this prayer is him praying to God but then all of a sudden he gets to verse 20 and in verse 20 he changed there's a shift in the text and he moves from praying to God to now praising God have you ever been there in your own prayer life where you had something you wanted to pray to God about then the mists of you praying the God about it God's the prayer that you were praying beginning to speak to your heart and you stopped praying and started praising it's something that happens when you were moved to prayer but your prayer moved you and the text says now it marks this transition in the text where he now begins to honor God friends there ought to be moments in your life where you have some now moments and you begin to honor God for what he's doing in your situation right now there are to be some now moments when you look around your life and you look back on the progress he's allowed you to make and all you can do is say now you ought to get home today look around your house and see the progress God has allowed you to make and say now you ought to get to your car today and turn on the key and say now because the car you used to have you had to pray for every trip that you made or you used to have to have the bus to get somewhere and you ought to have a now praise you ought to get to work you ought to go to the ATM you ought to get a paycheck on this coming Wednesday and be able to say now because God keeps providing in your life prisoner of moments where you have a now praise in the midst of you honoring and baking God you to take inventory on the faithfulness of God in your life friends don't you let the Christmas holiday make you think us about buying gifts sometimes you ought to just start counting your blessings for what God has already done what he's already done in 2019 what he's already seen you through in 2019 is more than enough to give him a now praise this is what Paul Paul has a now praise this he has a now praise it's also indicative that Paul has already talked about a lot in Ephesians he's already talked about the fact that we've been chosen before the foundation of the earth it's like he says now that we've already been chosen before the foundation now that you've adopted me into the family now that you've redeemed me now that you've forgiven me now that you've given me every spiritual blessing now that you've adopted me to be your son and your daughter he says though he says I have to take a moment and give God his praise and his honor and friends that's what we're doing today now after twenty-one years of service to this church now after twenty years of preaching now after 20 years of baptizing new believers now after 20 years of sharing God's Word we've got a reason to praise God is there anybody here this afternoon they can give God a now praise for the progress and the work and the blessings he's already done in your life he not only says now but the test continues now to him he wants he reminds us and shows us does this now praise is not an empty praise this now praise is directed to someone the text says now to him so I want to ask the question with who it's him she want to know who him is just read the first three chapters of the book that reveals who him is if you read the first three chapters it's him who chose you him who adopted you him who gave his life for you him who loves you him who's coming back for you him who has seeded you in the heavenly places him who has a plan for you him who called you a masterpiece it's to him in the text that Paul pauses and says now to him friends you've got a him in your life to him who woke you up this morning him will put food on the table him who gave you the job that you got him who gave your health and strength him that gave you another chance him that gave you another chance him that gave you another chance him that gave you another and another and another chance him that bless your family him that blessed your house helm dismayed ways out of no ways now to him who is kept you and friends here's the truth of the matter the him that he's been for you may be different than the him he's been for me because for someone in the room you've seen God work in so many ways in 2019 and even if you had time you couldn't contain telling all that God has done for you you serve a marvelous God and this is what he says he says now to him he directs his praise he directs his focus he directs his heart to the him that's kept him in the midst of his situation friends can I remind you that when he says now to him he's not writing from the Hyatt Hotel in downtown Chicago then when he says him he's not writing from the Crescent Hotel in Dallas Texas can I tell you that he says him he's not writing from the Loews Hotel in Miami Florida but when he says him he is writing from a Roman prison cell where he's been incarcerated for his faith it's a reminder that I don't care what your life looks like you can give him glory despite what your situation looks like despite what he's she said and they did despite what the doctor may have said now to him what is it about him him who is able no friends you could go home right there him who is able friends those three words God is able are three words that can change your life somebody today you've made it through 2019 because you know that God is able if you had given up a long time ago you could have quit but the truth of the matter is that God has showed his able miss in your life over and over and over and over again people wonder why you keep going to church it's because the a bonus of God keeps showing up in your life what does it mean that he's able it means he has the ability it means he has the capability and it means he has the resources in verse 19 it says I prayed to him that has all glorious riches friends you and I are always running out run out of money running out of gas one another right resources running out of relationships but you serve a god that never runs out he never has to borrow money he never has to check his ATM balance before he gets there withdrawn he never says listen I'll pay you half now and pay you half another occasion you serve a God whose riches are beyond anything you can imagine and that's why when you think about him you can't help but to praise him because you know God is able is there anybody in this afternoon that can give God a praise because you know he is able see anybody in 2019 that seen him show up in your life that seen his faithfulness has seen his goodness that seen his grace and you can stand here as a living witness to say God [Applause] what is he able to do he's able to put food on your table he's able to give you health and strength he's able to heal your body he's able to help you forgive somebody - did your own he's able to keep your marriage together he's able to help you raise those kids he's able to help you help you advance your degrees he's able to help you hold on to your job he's able to help you pay your bills he's able to help you forgive yourself he's able to help you keep looking to the hills from whence cometh my help he's able to keep you encouraged he's able to give you strength he's able to give you a hope he's able to give you a future he's able to help you stay focused he's able to help you keep people off of you he's able to keep you walking straight he's able to keep you trust in him you have an able God and if nothing else happens you oughta just praise the Lord for his a bonus in your life him who is able friends we are sitting in the midst of a moment where we are seeing the a bonus of God when you look at the Ministry of pastor charles Incans and what god has done in his life and ministry he is a living testimony that God is able you consider how transition is being handled in this church how we're going from from from one to the next to the next and we are we are living in a moment that is declaring God is able we are watching God in the midst of the church declare that God's people can handle transition well God is able what is able to do exceedingly and abundantly one person says immeasurably more that is literally he is his he is howling on adjectives he he can't even capture the a bonus of God in one word so he has to use superlatives and emphatic words to able to communicate that it's very much in excess and it's beyond all measure he says it's more than you can ask and it's more than you can think the God that we serve can do in your life more than you can ask and more than you can think which means I don't care how much you pray he can answer more than you can pray you can't out ask what God can do I don't care how big you think it is you're asking God to do it your ability to ask or your ability to request cannot outweigh his ability to answer more than yes more than you imagine more than you think you can't dream bigger than what God can do I don't care how big the dream is I don't care how big the vision is I don't care how much you're asking you your thoughts are not capable of reaching the thoughts of God Isaiah said his ways above our ways his thoughts are above our thoughts he says I want you to know you serve a God who was able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than what you asked God for there I was at the restaurant and I went through the fast-forward laughs fast food line means I went through that fast suit line I asked for a small order fries I was trying not to not to overdo it on this particular day I just wanted a small order fries somehow another something happened in the order and instead of me getting a small order flying a little white envelope of fries instead when I looked at my bag instead of me I asked for a little little white bag of rice but when I got to the window and looked at my back what was in there was a was a red container a supersize order of fries my cup runneth over there were not only fries in the container but when I got through there were fries in the bottom of the bag oh my cup runneth over friends when you ask God for stuff God you may ask for a white little bag but you have a God that's able to supersize blessings in your life and that's why when you look around your life you can't explain how you got what you got and where you are where you are because you serve a God but you asked for it right here but he answered up here you asked for it right here but he showed up right here he is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that you could ask or imagine you asked for a job and he gave you a business you asked for him the hill yeah but he blessed your body you asked for marriage and he blessed it even more you serve a God they can do so much more than you ever could imagine in your life and I believe in this room today that's we fees this three-and-twenty Christians there's some men and women in this room they can testify I know he can do it I'm not talking about what he did in somebody else's life talk about what he did in my life somebody can testify I know he can do it I know he can do it somebody is doubting and this carries but I want a couple of people did that know he can do it just lift a hand and declare I know he can do it somebody said I know he can do it so you you are living testimonies that he can do exceedingly and abundantly you asked for a job and he brushed you in more than a job he put you and manage me you asked him just to get through one class he allowed you to graduate he has blessed you you just wanted to raise your kids Breschel kids in ways you can't even imagine you don't know where they got it from you serve a god that can do exceedingly and abundantly they can do more than you could ever imagine in your life that's our prayer for past physicians in this season as he prepares to return Lord exceedingly and abundantly Lord bless him in ways he can't see bless his home bless his family bless his finances bless his ministry bless his expansion bless his influence bless His name father bless him in ways he can't imagine father pour back into him all that he's poured back into us exceedingly and abundantly that's our prayer God do it in his life do it in his life God nor does he transitions to a new season doing his life in such a way Texas school to the glory according to the power that works in us in other words you praying for power and God already put some power on the inside of you but you're not using it the way he wants you to too many Christians walk around weak and feeble and broken walk around with a hand out when when you got saved he put some power on the inside and that power on the inside has to show up on the outside so that you can do all that God has called you to do exceedingly and the bundle Francis you've had in this holiday season that's out to be your prayer right there Lord do exceedingly and abundantly father do more than I asked for father do more than I can think about and father don't do it just for my good but the text says do it for the glory of God do it so that they can see who you are do it so they can see how you work do it so that you can get the glory out of my life and out of my situations Lord I need you to do exceedingly and abundantly is there anybody in the room

get them on the ship if they feel that it is your will and it's the season for them to unite and connect with the church that can cover them we delete them to grab their neighbor's hand and squeeze it one time and then God if somebody's here and never been baptized when we get ready to go back into the waters in January and there's somebody who says I want my soul to catch on fire with the love and the peace and the joy of the Holy Spirit and I want to go down in those baptism waters as a symbol then my life has changed in Christ Jesus if there's somebody here who needs to be baptized and never been baptized before lead them to squeeze their neighbours hands and if somebody just needs to make a change they just need a fresh start behold if any man a woman being Christ he or she is a new creature old things are passed away and behold all things become new if somebody needs changes if somebody needs to be baptized if somebody needs to church home if somebody needs a new walk with Jesus Christ God I ask that you would lead them at this moment to squeeze their neighbors hand one time and God in the moment if it's your will and if it's your guiding would you lead them down these aisles

for their parents willow Hughes Julian Mia gates Emery Mackey and Brooke fierson Frierson come on y'all help me thank God for Brooke every Julie and Willow and Josiah so we have five babies five babies amen amen what a blessing ministers can you all stand to the side for me for a minute families y'all step two steps up I want to say this to you this is a very spiritual moment Brooke y'all say hey Brooke Brooke is sleeping in heavenly peace y'all say hey Emory Josiah ya'll say hey Josiah he is sleep in heavenly peace I don't know how do you sleep as loud as it is no what's your name Julia y'all say hey MS Julia this is a very spiritual insignificant moment because you all are doing what Hannah did first in the Old Testament and what Joseph and Mary did in the New Testament Hannah prayed and said God if you were just blessed me with a child I promise you I would dedicate that child back to you she couldn't get pregnant it was a long period where she was praying and seeking God and waiting for a child and she said God if you would please please please honor me that I would honor you by dedicating my baby back to you and today you all are coming in the spirit of Hannah and in the spirit of Joseph and Mary who brought Jesus back to the temple a few days after he was born to be dedicated to say God although you gave me this child they came through me they didn't just come to me these are gifts from heaven and every child is a new thought from God if you want to know what God is thinking about now you got to look into the eyes of these little ones and then we as a church family come saying you're not in this thing by yourself we're on the ship together with you to help you guide you and to pour into you are there godparents here doctor skaar parents let me see your hands guys parents you've been assigned you've been assigned to make sure that when these parents need backup because everybody who's a parent knows sometimes you need backup to pray for them to cover them to fill in with them family members are you present Grandmama's aunties cousins let me see your hands god bless you come on y'all thank God for these family members you all are part of the village and there's an old African proverb that says what it takes a village to raise a child and so now we come to anoint these babies our ministers are here each one will anoint one baby as we pray together well everybody bow their head and humble your hearts as we pray together and anoint these babies on their foreheads god we are so grateful that you trusted these parents in this season to raise these young queens and kings god we're asking that your grace will cover their lives now henceforth and forevermore and God whatever the enemy has planned down the road we cancel it in advance and we speak by faith no weapon formed against them shall be able to prosper and every tongue that rises up against them they will live a life of so much integrity and focus that they'll condemn it so god we as a church family come saying we thank you for trust in this church with these little ones and let our lives be a witness to them of what it looks like to really follow God would you give these parents energy resources wisdom friends family members that will help them and enable them to do what they need to do to be the godly parents that you call them to be and God when it gets rough give them peace when there's confusion send your joy and I ask now that your Holy Spirit would not just be with them while they're in church but it will follow them home and reside and preside over their lives while they're away from the church so we sealed this prayer and the only name that we know that has power that has efficacy that is the name of Jesus and let the church say a man a man and a man come on y'all help me thank God [Music] listen she's so sleepy I can't even lift her like I want to lift her I want to lift her like Rafiki lifted cymbal but she's so sleeping I'm just gonna lift her up a little bit and I speak that as I lift her her feet are anointed and every place she steps there will be peace there will be love and there will be joy let the church say Amen [Music] all right about to lift you up you gonna be all right Emery I speak that your life is covered that every place your feet walk you are anointed that you will walk in power and I believe that the enemy already can't touch you you're God's chosen I speak over your mother because I know that it's been a journey raising this baby by yourself but I know that the same God who's done it for other single mothers is the same God that'll do it for you get ready for him to do more than you ever expected don't walk in shame don't walk in embarrassment you walk in courage you walk in peace because God put something special in black women and you have something that can upset the equilibrium of whatever the enemy is planning i prophesy that over your house the oil of the Lord is flowing so walking God's peace walking God's power let the church say hey man [Music] I'm afraid ya'll say hey Josiah we love you we bless you we speak that your feet are covered in the name of Jesus and when you wake up you'll remember this day on tape we speak that your feet are covered and everywhere you go you'll be the angel that God called you to be we have your back and I know that God's hand is all over your
