Guest Speaker Nick Vujicic

[Music] good morning happy Sunday you may be seated thank you so much for your welcome pasta skip Linea love you guys so glad that our mutual friends and brother and sister in the Lord Paul and I and Sebu who believed in me early early on in fact Diane was someone who supported our ministry back in oh three when I was a little whippersnapper whatever you call that and I was this tall when I was that age and it's so cold to have Paul saber on our border life without limbs thank you Paul if you're watching online thank you to the life of that limbs team from flying from California today can we thank the life that limbs team god bless you Alan thank you for your help I am so thrilled to be here this morning to share with you how my faith in God has really changed my life and to help unpackage some of maybe the bigger questions that we do tend to think at times when we think of a loving God allow suffering to happen or a loving God who can do everything what doesn't he give me a miracle and the difference between having a miracle physically and then seeing the fact that though arms and legs don't make you happy and stuff don't make you happy to the point that then though the difference between the happiness of having everything in this world yet still not finding that peace and purpose in your soul how do you find that I hope to just share with you how I did find that by God's grace can you everyone can everyone say by God's grace and I'm thrilled to share my testimony to understand that this is just my history but really is his story to share and your history is his story to share and not one testimony is more powerful than another not one suffering is more powerful than another when you boil it down I believe it's actually worse being in a broken home than having no arms and legs being disabled by fear instead of being handicapped in a physical way your heart your mind who are you why are we here what's the meaning of life and where is hope if it exists so first of all put your hand up if you've never seen me speak before awesome and put it high and put your hand up if this is your first time to this church awesome can we welcome those guests we love you god bless you and hello to everyone watching online really quickly on the screen this is my beautiful amazing gorgeous family [Applause] kana is her name we been married for seven years love at first sight couldn't feel my legs Kiyoshi on the left he's now six and a half down on the right he's about to turn four and these twin girls are now 18 or 19 months old here's another photo of him Ali on the left Olivia on the right actually have to check their earrings there I didn't there are then achill twin girls and sometimes I'm actually 75% wrong when I guess who's her gorgeous we are so so blessed to have a family I never thought that God would have a plan that's much better than mine and then when I found Lee found the dream of dreams my wife I never thought that it would be that great I had a plane that God would miraculously give me arms and legs and when he didn't give me arms and legs I then convinced myself that I would never be happy that God is not real that there is no purpose for my life no meaning and then I never get married I thought even if I got married I can't even hold my wife's hand how can I hold my kids when they're crying well today when my wife and I uh you know it together I can't hold her hand but I don't need to hold a hand I just need to hold her heart you don't need hands for that and then I just saw some women nudge their husbands right there and then the children when they're actually crying I can't put my arms around them but the way that I love them gives them the confidence and love to come to me for comfort as well and put their arms around me and I want you to know that there are some times where we feel like it's impossible and first of all there is nothing impossible for God why do I know that not just based on what I've seen and what I know and what I feel and what I what I've witnessed but and I'll explain that a little later but he says so jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so and so my parents every day they said don't worry dick just go to school if they tease you you're beautiful you're special man like I don't wanna be such and they know what to do with the awkward moments you know everyone's looking at me staring at me because I'm so good-looking and then these kids they come up and they say what they say cigarettes you know when adults come and they don't know how to handle you know did I shake my hand whatever I just hug everyone I'm a hugging machine I've hugged so many people my arms are falling off scary thing about hugging so many people they can just pick me up and go what am i guys like kick him when I was born the doctor said that I would not walk [Applause] because it was based on what they know and what they see and what they feel correct the doctors said that I would never go to school why because they knew that the law in Australia in 1989 was that if you have a child with a special need you were not allowed to go to the mainstream school system but what they did know that what they did not know was what God knew was that God would use my mum to change the law [Applause] and it was a shock they had no idea I was gonna be born this way my doctors are no walls born this way Lady Gaga don't know I was born this way and can you imagine if someone came into the room and said don't worry I have a word from the Lord your limbless son is gonna go around the world is gonna meet 18 presidents speak in front of 10 governments is gonna be able to be used by God one second it's actually changed laws to allow special-needs children not to get killed and not actually going to a like a community group whole but actually being integrated into society and the school system he'll be writing by age 36 five books translated in 39 countries go on TV to 2 billion people of which 730 million people will hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and of 8 and a half million people over a million people will be in heaven because of your disabled son's faith by God's grace and obedience unto his calling here's a photo of September 2017 this is Ukraine 800,000 people were there 53 million people are watching in 26 countries and 400,000 gave their life to Jesus I'm about to go to the Philippines to speak in front of 200,000 people next week or the week after haha Filipinos I love you I love everyone and check this out this is the government this is the 10th government address that we've been able to have and this one was by far really cool because you can see they're not sitting in their seat national live TV covers a 90 minute segment where a limbless evangelist talks about the importance of a government leading a country on godly principles in the end they are on their knees praying to God to forgive them of their sins to heal their land and lead their nation [Applause] if someone ever told me that I would be a speaker to talk about hope I would headbutt you in the face because I even felt at times that there was none and that everyone can just believe what they believe and you get what you get you know it is what it is and that's it and that there is no greater purpose to my existence I'm gonna just exist and these were the cons that I was dealt with and too bad and for me it was difficult to believe in a loving God who loves me allows this to happen who can do all things yet he doesn't give me arms and legs miraculously and I want to ask you three questions today who are you what do you want and where are you going who are you what do you want and where are you going based on those answers then I will know the value and your perception of life itself and I tell you man when you talk to eight nine 10 year olds any eight nine 10 year olds in the house stand up eight nine ten year olds check this out this amazed we r gonna learn so much from this ready look at me ready eight nine ten year old okay this is yes this is no simple question ready have you ever ever ever ever ever in your life being stressed yes sit down thank you so much it's amazing about the philosophy of life that we actually as human beings have this addiction of feeling like we need to have a different circumstance or a change or something that has to happen before it gets okay it becomes that a place for me where if I just get there if I just have that then everything's gonna be O K and no you talk to eight-year-olds you says oh what's wrong homework is on and my parents don't give me everything I want and you know my siblings remind me every single day I wish I was 13 any 13 year olds in the house give me one now you know what stress is oh my gosh what's gonna be below Who I am anymore I thought I could trust my friends in the name backstab me they invite me to the party then they uninvite me to the party they defend me on my back and my parents say you know me they don't give me any privacy I need my privacy I need my space I am so stressed out right now I need a boyfriend I want to be 17 the water car-free though he gets a 17 you're in the last year of high school now you're freaking out cause you gotta get into college if I can just get into college is everything gonna be okay yeah I hope so no ask the college students now they're freaking out I need a job I need money I was hoping for this and now good a $200,000 debt I'm finished God give me a job God finally gives you a job and yes and after two days you look at your bus in the face and you look at God and you say really you give me now I hate now and all the single people oh when I find the wine then everything's gonna be okay no go talk to the man people let's say your honey if you ain't happy single you are ain't gonna be happy married you see how many married people clap right there [Laughter] mother Oh money money drugs sex alcohol pornography fame and fortune if you put your happiness in temporary things your happiness will be temporary if you continue to look at your biceps and trying to figure it out I just want you to know my biceps were so big they fell off you understand me your biceps as well our temple ray-ray girls you trying to look all pretty you ain't gonna be pretty in 20 years and if your boyfriend marries you because you look pretty just waiting 20 years because he's gonna be looking at all the other pretty girls sex ain't love you can sleep with anyone you want as many times you want still wonder do they love me love is the lifelong commitment if I'm a man of God I've got to be looking for a woman of God if I'm looking for a woman of God I gotta be a man of God if I can't honor my wife before I get married how do you think I'm gonna honor God after we get married you see it's interesting how we just go with the flow and we do everything and we accept everything because everyone else is doing it I want you to know that we got to stop and think who are you girls you're beautiful just the way that you are when I look at you I don't look at your hair I don't look at your breasts I don't look at your legs I looking in the arm that's the windows to your soul and you're not defined by the value of how many people follow you on social media if you have a boyfriend I mean teenage girls are allergic to not having a boyfriend it's ridiculous the average relationship is two weeks three days and 46 seconds and the moment they get dumped or dumped somewhere YouTube iPad why why why why why my girls ain't ever gonna have a boyfriend [Applause] they ain't ever gonna look for a boyfriend cuz I'm gonna have a really good talk to them I'm telling him you ain't looking for a boyfriend because that's trouble you're looking for a husband the moment you think that you could be entering a serious relationship and there's some spark or friendship that you want to invest and nurture in through a first coffee with a man of God and you're not looking for a boy from are you looking for your husband if you ain't getting ready to get married you ain't looking for no one serve the Lord with all your heart do your best and He will do the rest you don't need to get married either if that's what God has for you but you ain't looking for a boyfriend I love being married I love my marriage but before I met my wife I knew who I was in God you need to know who you are in God do you see this there is a difference between lies and truth very opposite God says you're wonderfully and fearfully made the world and the enemy says you're ugly just give up there's no one who's gonna really love you you didn't even love yourself you can't even forgive yourself other things you done wrong you can't ever forget even though that you're a 48 year old woman those things that your father told you when you were 9 years old you are cursed you'll never be anybody just give up there is no plan no hope for you in my head it was Nick you're ugly you'll never get married you'll never get a job you just a burden to your parents no one really loves you your parents only love you because you're their son you're just a burden just check out a life I tried to actually commit suicide at age 10 because based on what I felt based on what I saw and based on what I knew I convinced myself of my future first first Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11 for I know the planes that happy to Clay's the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future now that's a verse from this book called the bibl II which it says that God scripture is all breathes you have the Liberty to choose to believe in this or not you have the Liberty to choose to believe in the power of God the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob or you can choose to believe in the power of this table or any other religion that's why I love about our existence we have life hope and free choice you can choose to believe and I never forget when I was 12 years old someone came up and said were you born that way I said yes she said you want to know why I said sure she said reincarnation I said what's that she said you're a perfect example so what is it well in your previous life you were a very bad boy and now you're being punished I'm 12 years old like what do you say all thank you so much I mean she said previous life I didn't even have fingerprints to this life how did she find me in the previous life I don't understand but then she said but don't worry I'm I go there's a good thing she said you don't worry now that you're a good boy in your next life you come back probably like a butterfly I don't want to be a butterfly that sucks do you know how many butterflies I've killed in my wheelchair I don't understand you know those people who believe in just positivity just be positive you can do it you can do it you can do it I'm gonna headbutt you in the face mail like you haven't really gone through something then you haven't had a son who's 13 years old who's dying of leukemia and when that son actually looks at you and says what happens when I'm dead you don't know and you can't help him and you would take leukemia for him instead of him dying of leukemia you would sacrifice your life you can't be positive unless you know what you're looking for and you are sure of what you believe that actually gives you hope I am positive as not a coping mechanism I am positive because I know the truth of who I am in Christ Jesus I'm not just a kid with no arms and no legs I am fearfully and wonderfully made God has not forgotten me as these lies say all these lies you talk to the foot cuz the ears ain't listen and you turn around and yet Nana Nana Nana Nana Nana I'm an adopted forgive and redeemed child of God I'm an ambassador the king of kings and Lord of lords and I'm a general in the army of God I know that science can't explain everything because I know witchcraft is real moon worshipers are real I've met them I've seen demons in San Francisco when you see a demon you ain't atheist after that science can't explain everything no God made science sure but in my back man I got the best doctor in California telling me that science can't explain what happened in my back now this is not gonna change your life but I'll tell you when I was 19 years old 2002 in Brisbane Australia I had a pinching of a nerve down the spine of my back I couldn't feel my left arm and I got an MRI scan some of you got that joke I got an MRI scan and the chair the guy came and he said I got some bad news is that what's that he said you were born with a very rare disease like yeah I know said no no no apart from that you were born with a thing called s earrings I said of what he said it's earrings I said what is that he said look look at this and showed him here here here this is your spinal column here here here three holes your spine is degenerating we can't do anything about it can't slow it down and we believe that by age 35 to 45 you will have no spine we will have to drill rods down your back secure that screw that into your ribcage we are so sorry for the bad news they asked me do you want to check up I said no thanks what's the point of that that was the year that I started ministry 17 years ago incredible you know it was really cool I went to South Africa and the man put his hand without me telling him man put his hand on my back he's hanging got red-hot and I got a hand my rice skin three years after that and I got I got that 2002 and the 2010 scan 2002 no 10 years like 2000 shoot one second 2012 10 years three holes two holes and they're scratching their heads saying this is a syrinx this can't be happening can we have another checkup and I said mm-hmm had another checkup I think it was a year later not two holes one hole nine months later no holes in my spine ready did that really change your life no what will change your life is first of all understanding and seeing someone's soul heart mind be totally turned around from depression to joy what I want you know the body is the body but the disabilities of the heart and the mind are the most important things to be healed off and I want you to know that I wanted arms and legs He healed my back that's awesome do I have a pair of shoes in my closet just in case he gives me arms and legs absolutely why cuz I've seen apart from my own miracle thirteen blind people seeing deaf people hearing lame people walking crooked backs come straight now I knew though at six years old that God doesn't always heal our bodies why cuz he allowed my 27 year old first cousin to die from cancer cuz I know people who died in car accidents when we prayed that they would not die death comes if God gave me everything I want when I wanted how I wanted I would probably never want to die here yes if I really don't believe that my home is not here and as beautiful as Earth is and the good things and great things and excellent things that I could ever have here on earth yes including my wife yes including my children that is nothing compared to what is waiting for me up in eternal life I knew deep down that I was born for eternity somewhere there has to be some purpose I can't just exist be good and die to what know that I'm good and then be remembered that I'm good that to me doesn't sound us but if Heaven Israel his logic everyone say logic ready can God give me arms and legs good will he I don't know am i praying for it yeah it'd be cool it'd be cool to skip getting the bike with you and smash into a pole and break a leg but could God still use me to be a miracle if I don't even get a miracle why because of the miracle that happened in my soul in my heart in my mind you see a limbless man smile resonating the joy and purpose that some of you haven't found yet and it's got nothing to do with what you think you want next what do you want and we'll just pay off your house get a couple rental properties one day if I can just get a retirement plan dude how many times have our planes fail oh I'm just gonna get to another relationship how many relationships have failed here's the problem with the relationships you're in it how many times have you failed you how many times has stuff changed not being mean I'm just being real I'm not meant to be here not forever so when we pray for my dad to be healed of cancer we can pray in full faith he can do it but if he doesn't he has gone home where there is no pain sickness sorrow disease just like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden do you know before they fell into sin that were not there was not even the heat of New Mexico in the Garden of Eden there was no mosquitoes of the Amazon forest biting them because they had no suffering or uncomfortability it was perfect with God until the snake came in told them something that was different than what God told them they didn't have to die until they fell into sin because God says the wages of say is death what am I trying to say here it is ready there is definite logic in believing in God allowing pain on earth here it is ready pain did not come from God it's all in here pain did not come from God came from Satan why did then God allow Satan in the Garden of Eden if God knew all the bad stuff was gonna happen to prove to you and I that he gave Adam and Eve free choice if the serpent was never allowed in the garden and said something different than what God said and gave Adam and Eve a choice to believe this all that then I could argue that God never gave us free wrong they did choose that instead of God there in God being who he is cannot be face to face with us who were born with sin give me two three-year-olds give him one toy and you'll see sin they'll dishonor their parents they'll be jealous and I'll hate each other right I remember when I actually stole a matchbox car from my first cousin I was 6 years old why because I know what was wrong I know that I took something that was not mine that's called guilt shame conviction and I know that I only need to steal once before I'm a thief I only need to lie once before I'm a liar thank you so much what I want you to know is that I wanted to believe in heaven but the question was number one where did pain come from there it is when do we actually all go home well some of us die early some of us die later the Bible says that seventy years is a full life I'm 37 I'm already halfway to dead my dad died in 62 my cousin died at 27 and I'm thankful that I'm 37 because my first cousins son died a couple of hours anything we ever have can never satisfy what do you want for me I found the truth and the truth has set me free and I've seen the testimonies of how God redeems broken pieces and makes something beautiful whether I have arms and legs or not let me tell you a story what could God logically do better than to give me arms and legs that gives me arthritis later on anyway I was 24 years old in front of a church and I saw a little boy being held up above the crowd 19 month old Daniel Martinez no arms no legs little foot just like me and I'm like wow I want to wrestling him later on and I brought him up on stage is looking up at me I'm looking down at him and I can't get my high five so I gave him a low two his mom came up his mom came up and hugged me and cried and she said thank you so much now I know that God still has a plan for my son can you imagine when I was at school bullying thoughts of suicide wishing that I would meet someone else like me can you imagine my parents in their distress wishing they could have met a parent that went through this before we never had that miracle but we became that miracle for that family and when I'm in heaven I don't know if I'll die with arms and legs here on earth but I know that Jesus who had no sin paid the price of sin death I couldn't pay the price of your sin because I have sinned does that make sense you go to a grocery store you pay five bucks for a five dollar item you can pick up the item you can walk out the door when the item is five bucks you pay three bucks no matter how much you hope it's enough it's not enough so either five bucks you got five bucks you don't have five bucks you can't get it you get it ternal life what's the price death you have sin death and if I believe that someone paid that for me then I can obtain its own alive does that make sense and because I believe that Jesus took my biggest disabilities sin and death and he's my cure only one cure for death his resurrection say no one else said I am the only way the truth and life when you actually do your research please don't become a Christian because the Christians you have to do your research you have to come to your own conviction if you're a Christian because the Christians you won't be a Christian for long if you don't know who Jesus is and what he said and how he was different the definition of a Christian is a follower of Christ because of what he did and what he said does that make sense so for me I did my research I know I'm not an atheist cuz I I know that spiritual warfare is real I know I can't be other religions because there's a religion I'm not going to name them but there's a religion where basically that person says well become part of our religion all you got to do is actually keep 613 commandments I'm struggling with 10 I don't know about you another religion is that do good be good pray 5 hours a day memorize this Scripture and hopefully you get in there's no guarantee but there's a way that you can actually definitely go to heaven is actually if you kill a Christian and if you actually leave our religion once you start following this religion we actually are commanded to kill you if you leave the religion I don't think I like that there's another religion we've got 330 million gods 330 million gods one of them is the sex God and actually they're commanded to offer some of their children as prostitutes if you actually do your original deliberate religious research you plug in a limbless child or a slave in prostitution there is no hope but when I know that I am saved then I'm a citizen of heaven passing through that Jesus died for me he knows I'll never be perfect but I want to live his plan not my plan in his strength not my strength he knows better than me I thank God that he didn't give me arms and legs when I pleaded farms and legs I would not be here I would not have met 18 presidents 2 billion people would not have been somehow touched and in the end I don't know about what you want but this is what I want that one day I'm in heaven and Daniel Martinez who was born without limbs runs to me in heaven with his new limbs embracing me and weeping and look at me an ion saying brother thank you for help me believe that this place called heaven was real that's what I want you want to know what I want I'm Judgment Day in front of the throne of God Almighty and my accuser sits here Satan and I stand here and Jesus next to me and States and rolls out all the sins that I have done and says God Almighty Nicholas James voyage he is a sinner these are his sins 16 years later he's finished reading all my sins and then he says he is not worthy of heaven he is mine and damned to hell and Jesus says father at 15 years old Nick saw about how I healed the blind man in John chapter 9 I was 15 and I realized Jesus didn't tell the blind man that he was about to spit in the dirt put the mud on his face and after the facial that he's gonna see I was waiting at 15 years old God what's the plan what's the plan what's the plan if you told me his plan listen up very carefully if I know the plan then where do I need faith if you know the plan if you know how to build a house you don't need to trust yourself you need to trust the plane if you don't know the plan of the designer of the plane and the creator of who you are first of all who greater to tell you your purpose than the one who made you but if you tell you the plane then you don't really need to trust in him aren't we already disabled that when things are going good we pray less than when things are going bad some of us actually can't even pray for more than two minutes some of us don't even open this Monday to Saturday holy moly what would happen if we never had a bad day would we really pray would we really know what trusting in the Lord is with all our heart leading not upon our own understanding acknowledging him in all of our ways so he can direct our paths let me tell you why because he's a heavenly father when a child asks for something he can delight in giving good gifts amen but if I know that my son went six tons of chocolate to eat he's gonna kill himself and I'm gonna say no and the child then has a choice not that arms and legs is bad for me but what good came out of this one more person in heaven that will last for an eternity 1.1 million people here in the gospel of Jesus Christ what good could ever come from your sexual abuse let's be real first of all some things need more than just praying things away you need counseling get counseling ask someone at this church for counseling will counsel you we love you we're here for you you don't have to do this alone but what if I was limbless so I can help another limbless person believe that God can still do beautiful things with broken pieces and just like he used me for Daniel God can use you one day before you die you don't even know the seeds of love when you share your understanding after this your history is his story share your story because you don't know who actually might say well I'm not the only one and Wow there is hope and Wow when I don't get a miracle I can still be one I've seen sex slaves find Jesus redeemed get this they were solved by their own mother for 700 bucks I can Baldy share the gospel I can boldly and confidently with a humble heart let them know that God can still use that pain and I've seen former sex slaves go free other sex slaves and actually wash the feet of the pimps and Madam's who kidnapped them and abuse them and let them know you guys have money you have control that you're not happy and you're alone and Jesus loves you your soul is lost and Jesus has come to save the Lost I've seen a woman who was paralyzed for four and a half years prayed for her she walked she wasn't just any old woman I didn't know who she was until after she walked you want to know who she was probably the most evil woman I'll ever meet in my life I didn't know that she was the one who started human trafficking in Mumbai India in the 1960s responsible blood on her hands for 40,000 slaves and I prayed for this woman not knowing who she was she was frail she was about a hundred years old and she couldn't walk we prayed for her she walked she gave her life to Jesus Christ two weeks later she asked God to forgive her other sins did God forgive her of her sins how do I know that because the Bible says so not only does God forgive us of our sins but our God our God actually forgets our sins deliberately that's that's what kind of a God is that then he'd forgive you but hey do you remember when you did this that's the frickin devil dude then ain't God God wants you free indeed moving forward leaving what's behind no shame no guilt no conviction well I need to fix myself up before I come to God well if you're fixed up and Jesus didn't come to you or for you he came for the broken he came for the imperfect he came for the weary the lost the burden how long will you keep on trusting you and your planes and stuff on this planet for you to actually find the rest for your soul do you see how rich I am I am wealthy and it's got nothing to do with anything here I have rest and I have peace and if my plane goes down today I'll see you up there will you be up there some of you will be [Music] some of you will be who were the son [Music] those who believe that Jesus died for you rose from the grave who will fill you with the Holy Spirit a person a person of the Trinity who Israel who lives in me who also resurrected Jesus from the dead will then resurrect me those who know that they will never be perfect but turning around from those license saying God help me teach me how to pray show me how to live show me how to read my Bible knowing that when I fall he'll pick me up and I'm under construction until my last breath baby and ask my wife is Nick still under construction aha he's doing all right but man he's still under construction yeah are you free of the chains that really disable you because I am and I want to see you up there I want to see you up there [Applause] if you don't know if you're saved listen very carefully you have a choice to make a choice to say yes or no your choice of not making a decision don't for yourself if your decision is not today that's a note today and tomorrow is not promised that's why the Bible says today is the day of salvation now is the time of salvation now you can't turn back last minute you can't make a decision right now in the now three seconds ago now is now make a choice what I'm trying to say is indecision is your decision and if it's not a yes it's not a yes and if it's not a yes it's a no you're not trying to freak you out I'm just saying teenager please don't fool yourself in thinking that you're a Christian because you come to church on Sunday and then you tease and gossip at school on Monday do you really think that you really know the love of God IIIi think that's easier than overcoming a pornographic addiction to actually just shut your mouth when you have nothing nice to say you need God's grace to understand that there is not one person that you lay eyes on that Jesus doesn't love and if you understand that the love of God say you free who are you to put someone else down to actually emanate an invisible God loves you but on our way out of youth group I'm gonna say the f-word cuz it's okay knit school it's time to get real man yeah your pornographic addiction doesn't change a love of God for you and let me tell you what's false is that he's waiting for you to change your addiction habits before he loves you more he loves you now and if he healed a woman responsible for forty thousand slaves what sin do you have no sin separates you from the love of God come to the love of God and He will redeem you heal you set you free and start the construction of a brand new life he will fill you with His Holy Spirit renew your mind and be with you one step at a time and right now I want to give you an opportunity to respond to this message I have no idea who you are I don't know what you've been through I don't know what you're going through but I want to give you an opportunity to actually commit your life to God and not in a way that I'll try you out and I'll text you when I need your kind of thing kind of bring Jesus into your house and you give him a room upstairs and you come to him you know upstairs and be with him like once a week called Sunday morning and then you not only call him when you kind of need him and then the devil knocks on your front door man let me just tell you right now I ain't anywhere as powerful as the devil he's very powerful and if I need to answer the door when the devil knocks on my door I'm done but if I give Jesus the key to my heart key of my life and I actually give him the ownership and the pink slip of the car and he's in the driver's seat it's all on him someone hurts me they're gonna have to deal with God not me we pray for them yeah III don't get revenge revenge doesn't heal I didn't even wait for sorry from them that hurt me before I think to forgive them but man I'll just tell you right now if Jesus wasn't my Lord and Savior I'd never be able to forgive anybody and even when he has been my Lord and Savior and I'm a preacher it sometimes takes me about ten years to forgive someone that hurt me really bad I just forgave that person in November last year took me ten years one no why cuz I never got counseling for it dude I wish I did earlier so good to get counseling I want you to know that doesn't mean that everything's gonna be great and the devils never gonna come knock on the door but when you give the key to the house and the devil comes knocking man when the owner opens the door not you anymore Jesus the owner of the house then the devil sees Jesus and Jesus sees the devil and the devil forced his knees and he says sorry I knocked on the wrong door hallelujah and on Judgment Day Jesus says to the father Nick did sin although 16-year long list of reading of his sin but he confessed his sin and he believed that I died for them all he believed I died for them I paid the price and God says welcome home my good and faithful servant [Music] don't be a master of your life be a servant of God don't try figure out the future give him your future and he'll never never fall short of giving you what you need not always what you want or what you mean isn't that what we need what we need hallelujah so right now from the front to the back of the balcony in the side can you give an opportunity to respond say God come into my life forgive me of my sin I want to believe that you died for me that you rose again I want to go to sleep tonight to close my eyes to know that I know that I know that you love me it's not about me being better before I'm saved it's just because you love don't wait to understand everything move upon what you know and what you discovered today that conviction he's not gonna draw your heart open the door we've seen roughly about a hundred and sixty people come forward in the last three services and I truly believe another 50 to 60 will come forward in this next service right here right now you know God's calling you your heart's beating your feet and heavy I'm not going up there why don't I call you forward well first of all I'm not gonna lay hands on you I mean if you can't stand up for a faith decision in here how
