God I'm Broken | Pastor Gabriel Villalobos

repeat after me say jesus i give you my mind i give you my heart i'm open to what you want to do tonight in jesus name we pray amen amen [Music] god is so good you guys may be seated [Music] let's give another hand for jesus [Music] i mean jesus he's the ultimate he's the he's the ultimate hero we saw these superheroes man ain't nobody like jesus right you know god gave me a message specifically for you in the room and the way that god works when i preach he he gives it to me just downloads the whole message to me and he told me i'm not going to give it to you until the day of i was like oh man but it puts you in a place to hear from god depend on god and have faith to deliver a word from god and so prophetically speaking today i want you to receive this word for you for your family and i want you to receive this word for your community the title of today of this message is called god i'm broken god i'm broken you see all throughout the bible you'll see god use broken people broken situations to do great things to show his love to show and display his power two things that that god does in our brokenness is first he reveals his love and power to you but second he reveals his love and his power to others through your brokenness god wants to use the brokenness in three areas the first one number one god wants to use the brokenness within ourselves he wants to use it john 8 1-11 it says jesus walked up the mount of olives near the city where he spent the night then at dawn jesus appeared in the temple courts again and soon all the people gathered around to listen to his words so he sat down and taught them then in the middle of his teaching the religious scholars and the pharisees broke through the crowd and brought a woman who had been caught in the act of committing adultery and made her stand in the middle of everyone then they said to jesus teacher we caught this woman in the very act of adultery verse 5 doesn't moses his law command us to stone to death a woman like this tell us what do you say we should do with her verse 6 says they were only testing jesus because they hoped to trap him with his own words and accuse him of breaking the laws of moses but jesus didn't answer them instead he simply bent down and wrote in the dust with his finger angry they kept they kept insisting that he answered their question so jesus stood up and looked at them and said let's have the man who has never had a sinful desire throw the first stone at her and then he bent over again and wrote some more words in the dust upon hearing that her accusers slowly left the crowd one at a time beginning with the oldest to the youngest with a convicted conscience until finally jesus was left alone with the woman still standing there in front of him so he stood back up and said to her dear woman where are your accusers is there no one here to condemn you looking around she replied i see no one lord jesus said then i certainly don't come condemn you either go and from now on be free from a life of sin you see god used her broken situation to reveal his love and to display his forgiveness her brokenness made that way for forgiveness to be shown not just for her to see it but for others to see it you see i i god was showing me that sometimes we're in a position where we're where we're saying god take me out of this brokenness and god's saying let me let me use this brokenness god heal me and change it but how about this god meet me in my brokenness it's something else when god just meets you in the brokenness isn't it when you meet you in that place where you're just broken i mean she was literally gonna be stoned caught red-handed in genesis there's a man named joseph in chapter 50 verse 20 his brothers betrayed him and after they betrayed him and sell him to be to be a slave they feel like their brother joseph is going to take vengeance now since his father passed away but this is joseph's response you intended to harm me but god intended it all for good he brought me to this position so i could save the lives of many people i want to speak into your your brokenness right now into the situation that you're in right now and let you know that god will use that for good that god will turn it around for good [Applause] brokenness it leads to a lot of pain questions but let god use that brokenness within yourself sometimes we try to especially for all of those believers and that are in here we try to hide the brokenness we try to hide what's really going on in our minds we try to to make it seem like we got it all together we don't want no one to know that's that we're struggling with something that we're in a broken season and i know some of us right now you might be like i'm not in a broken season right now i feel like everything is great in this season and it can be but if we're honest with ourselves we experience brokenness if you ever lost someone dear to your heart you experience some brokenness god's saying i want to use everything that has broken you i want to use it i want to use it to show you how much i love you to show the people around you how good your god is to show your family how great your god is let's not deny our brokenness let's say god just use it i'm going to be honest with you god i'm broken this is your son right here i'm just broken this is your daughter right here i'm broken in this area of my life i feel shattered god because the devil doesn't want you to have that honest conversation with god he wants you to just try to handle it yourself he wants you to not tell your your mentors or your leaders or go to counseling he wants you to just try to just stay broken and find a way to function while you're broken without god without his holy spirit god could restore you god could renew your whole mind my mind was totally gone totally gone and i remember there was a day and i haven't really shared this on the pulpit but how i got my call and how god showed me that gabe i want you to preach the good news and to pastor and shepherd people it was when i was in sin in a broken place i was a christian for two to three months i hung out with the wrong crowd and and and i thought i was going to go and and help them but um they helped me to some cervezas and then switched up real quick i felt like that one drink of bud light for every news i know they're like that one light like that one drink of blood like it felt like tequila and it took me down such a dark path that i became so shameful that night i ended up doing crystal meth i ended up doing all kinds of stuff that night just because i was so condemned in my brokenness and i felt like god will never use me again all the christians that i met the last couple of months they're cool nice people but i'm not one of them they ain't over here doing the grime that i'm doing they're probably like that guy is weird it's crazy tweaker up for three days like seeing what cars i could break in and take i'm the next morning after those three crazy days i wake up and i had a little ritual called wake and bake some of you guys might be familiar i woke up and i started smoking some mary j and as i started smoking i realized i'm not getting high so i i smoke another bowl and i smoke another bowl and i'm like whoa whoa i'm not i'm this is crazy and god gives me a vision right there of me speaking on the sierra way campus stage preaching with fire i wasn't clapping when i got that i was so scared and so full of shame in the broken state that i was in and i didn't believe that god could still use me because i was that night i i was literally gonna murder someone i had the gun out on them everything they're already done one of my friends that just got the marines was braving us to come and grab me take the gun away some weird whatever he did kung fu and i'm just thinking like not me i wanted to be in prison for life for like for murder like my brother i wanted to make my dad proud i was like they didn't line up with the visions that i had for my life at 15 years old i wanted to be in prison juvie and then graduate into prison and run the prison systems with my brother that was like my like dream too many blood and blood out movies and boys in the hood that's my that messed me up there but then i see this book on my on my counter table i've never read it a family friend gave it to me because they found out i was a christian and they're like man we're so happy for you they're a christian they give it to me to this day i don't know where that book is but i opened the book and in the book the first two pages and it's all i've ever read of that book because i'm like i can't get high like oh man and like all right well god's showing me a vision of me man let me just see what this book is and it was about a pastor in las vegas when he was a young adult how he was playing god he was come to church but he was really just hooking up with girls and like that was his his gimmick and then god just touched him and spoke to him and he just started crying and then what happened was crazy he repented of his sins and he said god use me and then he went on to become a successful pastor where he has multiple campuses and as i'm reading this new believer just reading this then god said see i couldn't use you still it doesn't matter what your sins are if you're if your your sin was religion if your sin was going back into the culture that you you that god set you free from man i got some good news for you don't be afraid of the call if god brought you into this room right now god is so powerful that he could accomplish the call on your life if you will partner up with him stop looking at yourself so much stop looking at your brokenness so much and thinking that that has anything to do with where he wants to take you too long we've identified with our brokenness and god says when will you begin to identify with me that brokenness was a season i've already taken you out of it but you're still mentally stuck in it god wants to set our minds free you know after you get delivered from something you still got to renew your mind because that old way of thinking will take you back to the old way of doing the second my second point is god wants to use the brokenness in our families he wants to use that broken family that you come from if you come from one if we're honest we all have some brokenness in our families right he wants to use it if there's a crack think of a mirror or a glass if there's a crack in that mirror don't deny that there's a crack what am i saying if there's some stuff off in your family even if you're serving god or whatever the case may be don't fool yourself don't deny what's happening in the home take ownership of your home of the relationships in your home and even the extended family that god has blessed us with and say god i'm giving this family to you and i'm i'm saying use me use me to serve my family not god get them all right they're crazy i'm cutting them off you you blew it with me this time i'm not answering your calls god's saying no i want to use you because we can fool ourselves to thinking that it's just going to always be a crack but if you've ever seen glass crack it well only thing that happens is that crack begins to grow until it actually shatters it's going to eventually shatter address it with love you're not going to win any family members over without love some of our families have never seen or experienced true love from a believer you could win a lot of people over with just loving them a lot of people john 4 46-54 it says as he traveled through galilee he came to cana where he had turned the water into wine there was a government official nearby in capernaum whose son was very sick when he heard that jesus had come from judea to galilee he went and begged jesus to come to capernaum to heal his son who was about to die jesus asked will you never believe in me unless you see miracles signs and wonders the official pleaded lord please come now before my little boy dies then jesus told him go back home your son will live and the man believed what jesus said and started home while the man was on his way some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well he asked them when the when the boy had begun to get better and they replied yesterday afternoon at one o'clock his fever suddenly disappeared verse 53 then the father realized that that was the very time jesus had told him your son will live and he and his entire household believed in jesus this was the second miraculous sign jesus did in galilee after coming from judea you see his decision resulted in healing for his son freedom for his son his decision to bring his broken situation that the family was going through in their home he decided to go on a leap of faith and say there's a man named jesus i i'm gonna go and find him that's a seven hour walk at least if he was on a camel or something it's like three to four hours he went on a mission and said look i'm gonna present this this this brokenness that's happening in our home i'm bringing it to jesus and notice that he just went like there were people at the home waiting for him but he just took off i'm gone my family needs me and i've heard of an answer you see we have the answer and because we have the answer we should be giving the answer out we got our families are are looking for the answer they're getting it wrong on the test over and over and over c d whatever it is no no the answer is a i've had the answer all my life some of us are going to have to go to our family and say look i'm so sorry i just want to apologize i've had the answer this whole time i've just been so scared and so focused on myself i haven't given you the answer i'm sorry i've seen all the pain you guys have been going through all these years and i've just been in my own little bubble shut up just closed and i've known the answer this whole time you're empowered to give that answer god is always on time stop tripping about when it's gonna happen take your situation to jesus just like this guy did and get a word from jesus see jesus gave him a word he said your son will live jesus is still alive and well speaking right now saying your family will live your sons your daughters your aunts your uncles your parents your grandparents they will live this is for all of you that are hearing it can you believe it can you be like a little kid like a two-year-old three-year-old kid that that just will believe anything you tell them like son i invented thunder and all that i made that and they believe it that faith like a child that if god says it is then it is if god said it's done then it's done if god said i will then he will he don't make it complicated it makes it real easy for us his decision to bring his brokenness in his family is the most powerful part to jesus resulted in the whole house getting saved that one person in that family in that home went to jesus with the situation that they were going through and came back with salvation for the whole household how many of you guys want to see your whole household get saved how many of you guys want to see people around you get saved not just your maybe your household is already saved but you got some theos and some thea some aunts and some uncles or whatever you got cousins that need to be saved god just needs someone willing to go the third thing god wants to use the brokenness in our community and our city nehemiah 1 3-4 it says they said to me things are not going well for those who return to the province of judah they are in great trouble and disgrace the wall of jerusalem has been torn down and the gates have been destroyed by fire when i heard this i sat down and wept in fact for days i mourned fasted and prayed to the god of heaven when i read this i noticed the brokenness of his city grabbed his attention the brokenness that i mean if we're honest how many of us complained about brokenness in san bernardino are wherever your city is we complain about uh a homeless problem we complain about violence or we complain about different things right but see nehemiah the way he handled it was just like so inspiring to me like i'm going all of us we're about to go after san bernardino like never before so y'all get ready this is our time he it got his attention to the point where he said i gotta take this to god you know what's what's interesting about taking something to god you know he's gonna tell you to do something nehemiah knew because he had a relationship with god he took it to god saying god what's up what whatever happens whatever you want to do let's do it i'm not bringing this to you to not be a part of the solution i'm bringing this to you saying god use me god i'll step up right now god what is the solution let's make it happen there's a there's a a certain posture a certain mindset that we have to go into our prayer closet with in these end times all the the lukewarm stuff all the mediocre stuff i mean all that is done it's not going to work right now it's not [Applause] all the comfort zones it's not going to work you know it's not going to work if you're in a comfort zone place where it's all about you you know if you look me in the eyes you know that it's not working you know that god has called you to more and you don't understand what it is yet but you know you haven't gone out to do it if we had a real honest conversation and it's okay to be there i'm just saying let's get in the game let's get it started now not one of you is unqualified the blood of jesus has qualified every single person in this room if you would accept his his forgiveness and make him lord in your life you're qualified that's it i don't care if you're a gang banging yesterday if you were snorting coke last night whatever you did this morning god's saying i will use you who are you to say you're disqualified when i don't even say you're disqualified i don't care if you backslid and fell into adultery did you not see the story of the woman who was in adultery what did i do with that i handled all her haters and i said let's go there's the brokenness in your city does it have your attention nehemiah 2 5 i replied if it pleases the king and if you are pleased with me your servant send me to judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried it's not enough to just pray i'm not discrediting prayer but i'm saying there's a formula it's pray and then do right i believe that the world is tired of christians that are just praying i believe that the world is hungry to see christians that pray and do with love and with power i did a worship night at our house last night is it last night yeah it was last night and we i mean i brought my p12 i brianna's p12 together and which is our discipleship groups for those that don't know get in one it's awesome we we mentor 12 i mentor 12 guys she mentors 12 women or so and we brought them together and we said let's just have a night of worship letting god speak to us and pouring into us but how about this how about we invite the whole neighborhood and we tell them to come through and it was just amazing to see how open and and we live in like a middle class a higher higher class whatever you want to call the neighborhood where the stereotype is is that those people don't they're closed off to the gospel they're the hard ones to reach because they don't want to give you time it's not true i was just did it last night it's life no i'm serious i know and we could go to the hoods i come from that stuff like i i agree we need to hit that but i believe that if we're going to ever reach a city which is our vision of the way world outreach we're going through inner cities throughout the world we gotta get the whole city right and sometimes people don't go in those neighborhoods because honestly they might be a little timid you got a lot of people that might just close the door in your face whatever it is but my team experienced not one negative response i sent out about 24 people into the streets right before we started worship not one negative response people were actually like wow i can't believe you're doing this this is awesome and we had five neighbors come out and worship with us and just really experience the presence of god [Applause] and i told him this is where i live like you guys could come through let me know i'm gonna get a sign out front of the house and say if you need any prayer hit me up and it's gonna have my number like text your prayer in but you got to do something about your community you got to do something about your city you live in it you live in it you're you're in that city for a reason god wants to use you in the place that he has you some of us are thinking should i move should i go here should i go there should i do this i'll tell you this moving locations will never give you the satisfaction of fulfilling your purpose i really believe that if god has you somewhere and he's planted you somewhere be careful and be real wise on on making the decision to uproot yourself and to take yourself somewhere else because at that point my life is in my own hands someone's like man i like that other house though you do what you want i'm just i just got to do my part but you do what you want nehemiah didn't just give attention to it he gave time and he put his whole heart into making a difference i think what keeps us back sometimes is we think someone else is actually going to do it you think oh some someone else is going to make a difference that's not my role you think a guy like me that's like oh he's like a public speaker or use him or about do you know that that your call is as valuable or more valuable than the call in my life to preach the good news whatever your giftings are whatever it is that you know what's what's interesting i was reading a book and then and and from from john bevere and as i was reading it it was so interesting he mentioned how your body your arms and stuff that are seen you get complimented like man that looks like of who works out here all right who who's gonna start working out all right who just lied both times okay but but he mentioned that he he he knows someone that that doesn't have an arm but they have a they're still living they're still they still have a family they still have a job they're still functioning but he said i don't know anyone that doesn't have a liver and they're just having a great life and yeah you know when's the last time you had someone come up to you and say hey man great great livery it looks looking great that liver is looking mmm solid i never seen a liver like that before i think but what made what place a vital role in a person's life that arm that you could live without or that liver that's behind that you don't see some of us we don't we think that we don't have a significant gift or we can't do something in our community or in our families because we we get too caught up in well i either got to be a pastor a worship leader or evangelist if it's not that then i'm nothing god what are you going to use me for and he has all these amazing amazing gifts inside of you amazing gifts some of us need to just pray and say god what are my gifts because some of us don't even know him god what are my gifts that you have given me some of us were techy and we got like tech is like you know it like the back of your hand and you and you don't think that god will use that to preach the gospel he will use that throughout the whole world if you will let him some of you guys love fashion and you're just great at designing things god will use that whatever it is god will use what you give him nehemiah 4 15-18 it says when our enemies heard that we knew of their plans and that god had frustrated them we all returned to our work on the wall but from then on only half my men worked while the other half stood guard with spears shields bows and coats of mayo the leaders stationed themselves behind the people of judah who were building the wall the laborers carried on their work with one hand supporting their load and one hand holding a weapon all the builders had a sword bounce it to their side the trumpeter stayed with me to sound the alarm it's gonna take hard hard hard work to bring about change in your community it's gonna take countless hours efforts blood sweat and tears to bring about change it's not going to come easy you see how hard nehemiah was working to bring about restoration to his people to his city you see this is the part of the you know when you get saved and someone says like hey like when jesus said like lay your life down right deny yourself and follow me this is a part of the price of being a christian it's jesus whatever it takes whatever it takes whatever you want me to do i'll do it how hard it is god i'll do it i'll make myself available check this out nehemiah 6 15 it says so on october 2nd the wall was finished just 52 days after we had begun when our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it they were frightened and humiliated they realized this work had been done with the help of our god you see when when a broken city and a broken community begins to transform begins to be rebuilt no one could deny that god was involved no one can say that god don't exist no when a city like san bernardino is flourishing it's prospering is is is godly no one can say that god doesn't exist they had to acknowledge it they realized this work had been done with the help of our god do we serve a great great god [Music] the people that are not for you the the people that are not for god for the church it don't matter they're still going to have to acknowledge him on earth and after because every knee will bow but but let's let's get i want them to acknowledge him here in our city i want them to acknowledge him in our communities that they will begin to understand oh my gosh like we've been trying to do like something positive in the city and i know where this man they're making a difference they're transforming things and and they're taking over territory they're gonna have to say it was jesus god used the brokenness of a city to reveal his love and to reveal his power let's all stand up give god a hand if you guys got something [Applause] tonight you know this is the time to say yes to everything god has been speaking to you about see as i'm speaking i don't know people's situations and things like that but god knows the very detail of every situation he knows every crack he knows every broken piece he knows every single thing and god's desire is to do something about it for you god wants to bring about change for you god wants to say let me handle it and take it from here i'm going to do two calls today the first call it's going to be for those that you're in a you're like man god i'm i'm broken i'm in a broken place right now i'm so i'm i'm involved in ministry i'm not involved i'm a leader i'm not a leader whatever you are i've been saved 50 years i've been saved to one year it doesn't matter god loves you so much it might be even your marriage there's no marriage too broken for god to restore but you gotta let him restore it you gotta say god i'm done trying to be god i'm done trying to restore it my way i'm imperfect i make bad decisions i don't know what i'm doing it's called humbling yourself before god [Music] and once you humble yourself before god you're going to get his full power support love flowing in that situation because we could deny his love we could deny his power we could deny the help and that he could be reaching out to you every second every moment and he is because he loves you so much but we could push it back push it back god saying stop pushing me away what is it going to take for you to let me intervene what is it going to take if you're that person if you're saying i i'm going through some broken times right now in my life and my family whatever it is if there's some brokenness i want to pray for you let's just make your way up here to the front [Music] [Music] we're gonna get healed tonight we're gonna get restored tonight [Music] [Applause] there is [Music] they're still coming look they're still coming here [Music] in jesus [Music] jesus [Music] what we're gonna do right now is we're gonna give god all the brokenness right now we're gonna give god that broken situation that broken heart whatever it is that you have that's broken god's saying let me take it i love you let me have it right now i'll take it just lift up your hands as a sign of us i'm just gonna surrender it all to you god i'm just surrendering to you right now i'm surrendering this brokenness god i'm letting go [Music] right there on your own just let it go right now just say god talk to god right now say god i let it go i give it to you go ahead he's taking it from you give it to god give it to god there it is [Music] repeat after me say jesus i give you i give you this brokenness right now i lay it down i surrender it to you in the name of jesus take it make me new meet me right here in my brokenness meet me right here and my imperfections god i want you [Music] there it goes god's healing so many people right now [Music] he's depositing hope into you right now because some of the situations that were happening they seem so hopeless but you're getting hope right now vision you're getting vision right now god's releasing fresh vision [Music] there it goes [Music] i want to do one more call one more and this is for anybody out there that doesn't know jesus as their lord and as your savior you haven't given your life to jesus [Music] god loves you and john 3 16 talks about how much he loves you in it and it breaks down and says that he loves you so much that as you are on a path to hell as you are on a path because of your sins that you've committed as it was taking you down to destruction to a place [Music] that no one could get you out of that his love his mercy was shown through sending his son jesus to die on the cross for you which means that all the sin that you have committed all the the penalty of the sins that you have done never gonna be erased through the blood of jesus christ jesus is in love with you he has always been in love with you he's not intimidated if you doubt him or if you don't believe or whatever your case is [Music] jesus wants you [Music] jesus is the answer jesus is the way jesus is the truth jesus is the life there is no life without jesus it's counterfeit it's fake jesus is saying i'll give you everything that you actually want that that desire of life to quench that thirst that you have [Music] nothing can quench that thirst the react the reality is this every one of us one day we're gonna breathe our last breath you're breathing right now but the truth is one day you will breathe your last breath and you will go into eternity forever and ever and ever [Music] and you will live in eternity in one of two places a place called heaven or a place called hell god said i already purchased your way to heaven if you would just come to me i will forgive you of your sins i will transform you i will make you whole but most of all you will live with me in eternity forever and ever and ever in a place where there is no pain and a place where there is no shame and a place where there is no destruction and a place where the devil isn't running around a place of total peace a place in the presence of god forever he prepared that place for you and i and if you're saying tonight god this is this is this is for me god i want to give my life to you jesus i surrender right now my life to you i did this over nine years ago and i have zero zero zero zero zero regrets of saying yes to jesus
