Interruptions Welcome | Charlotte Gambill

they already are used to me i told them on the first time i was with them at the youth conference i was like okay the boss the english mama's in town you all need to get up so they stayed up today so they were ahead of you all but i'm i'm actually really emotional i don't know why i put makeup on this morning and and fake lashes are not a good idea when people are getting baptized and so that was a disaster and so if you see something that looks like a caterpillar crossing my face don't worry about it it's not an insect it's a lash that went astray but i love y'all like you know i really i love this house i love you as a church and as a family and love your leaders and your team and why am i crying and um but yeah ten years is a long time to do life and journey together and see the church grow and go through hard seasons and good seasons and testing seasons and still be here because we know that god in all seasons is faithful and i don't know what season you're in right now but i really believe god wants to do a miracle today and not a miracle for a few but a miracle for whoever needs it because god is no respecter of persons maybe some of you today i'm gonna just help move some of your thinking because maybe you have disqualified yourself or thought that the breakthrough is for somebody else but honestly today if you will just lean in i'm telling you god has a breakthrough for your business and for your marriage and for your wayward child and for your barren womb and for your sick body and for your cancer cells and for the area of depression and from the area of anxiety he does he does so we're just gonna go on a little journey for the next few moments which really i'm just gonna say what god put in my heart but actually the biggest part of this message is what you do with what god says to your heart i don't know when we lost our desperation for jesus but i'm praying today we get some of it back so god we honor you we just pause for a moment who are we to stand in the presence of the king of kings the lord of lords to have an audience with you god to have your ear to have you inclined into our lives and our families and our concerns oh god forgive us where we just stroll through the doors like it's just another day god with you every day is a day where a miracle is possible so god i pray right now to soften every heart that is hard to lift every soul that is weary to still every mind that is troubled and to open every ear that is closed god i pray i will get out of the way god i pray in these next few moments you would have your way we're believing for miracles today we've already seen miracles today but god you're not done yet thank you jesus in your name we pray amen and amen you may take your fear [Applause] thank you my kleenex friend you're awesome today i want to speak to you about something that's going to feel counter-intuitive like like i'm going to talk about it and you're going to be like oh is that are we really is that okay almost he's gonna feel when i say it then i'm telling you to be almost disrespectful almost rude and i know how you all are sweet southern mannered people and and so i'm i'm really to have to push this with you today because the truth is i believe that we've allowed the world's culture to shape the church's culture and our infatuation with the world and the world's ways has restricted our intimacy with the living word and god's ways and today i'm going to address something that maybe our culture has raised us thinking one way but god's kingdom culture wants us to act a very different way so today i need us to be willing to step out of where we become comfortable because i believe honestly that our praise has become diluted our gratitude has become depleted because we compare and we contrast and we want and we search after what we think we're missing when we have everything we will ever need in the person of jesus christ and so today i need us to get our mind fixed back on in and today i'm going to ask you to get your manners out of the way of your miracle some of you are way too polite when it comes to the things of god i don't know how you were raised i don't know what the manners were in your household maybe you were no elbows on the table maybe you were no talking with your mouth full maybe in more current days you are no devices at the table but the truth is we all are raised with manners right manners are good they teach us how to behave how to be polite but we have to be careful that then in our approach to god we don't allow our manners that were raised within the natural to stop us from actually being the bold ones that god has called us to be in the spiritual right [Applause] and the one manner that i want to get out of the way of your miracle today is the one that i'm sure we all were taught maybe you were taught it in your home maybe you were taught it at school but i guarantee somewhere in your life you were told that it is highly rude and inappropriate to interrupt someone right but today the title of my message for you is that you need to learn how to interrupt jesus jesus is highly interruptable he does not consider it rude he does not consider that you are behaving badly he doesn't think that you have bad manners but he needs you to learn how to interrupt him for although jesus is present many people are around jesus but they never understand no you have to interrupt jesus that there's something that you do that puts a demand on jesus that brings the miracle into your world there's something that you do that is not polite it's not pretty it's hungry it's desperate that begins to change the dynamic of your marriage and your family and your business and today i just want to shake your southerners and say i love y'all but you all need to get a little ugly for jesus [Applause] we're told that interrupting is very rude in fact we're told it's so rude that if you think about it when you're going to interrupt someone your whole interruption begins with pardon me forgive me i'm so sorry before you've even said a word you're apologizing for what comes next and i think sometimes we'll like that with god like i'm so sorry pardon me excuse me i remember not so long ago we had friends over at our house and we had a whole group of people over and we were all chatting and talking and one of our most polite friends is a guy called tim tim's very very proper very queen's english very polite like tim would show up to a casual party in a suit he was that polite and so i remember on this particular occasion i was down in the lower lounge of our house chatting away with some people and tim appeared at the side of the room and and he was clearly trying to get my attention but i was in a conversation and one of the people i was in a conversation with was his wife and so he kept coming over and he's like excuse me excuse me charlotte and i could see you know that look that your wife gives you you know i'm talking about that dead eye look that says go no further say no more and you will live that look she was she was giving him that look like this is not a good time why are you being so rude why are you interrupting her when she's in the mid of a conversation but he stayed and he ignored the dead eye and he kept coming he's like i'm so sorry excuse me i'm so sorry so i said tim you you need me he's like yeah just i'm so sorry just and he beckons me so i come over and in a very quiet voice he says um your kitchen table is on fire like no joke to which i went and ran upstairs to find that the candelabra had fallen over set light to the tablecloth which was burning the wooden table my kitchen was on fire my house was about to burn down but tim didn't want to interrupt me and you laugh but the enemy wants your marriage to burn down your house to burn down your business to burn down your family to burn down and he doesn't want you to think it's appropriate for you to get desperate enough to interrupt jesus he doesn't want you to feel that it's appropriate for you to come with everything that you have and throw yourself at the feet of jesus he doesn't want you to feel it's cool for you to actually say i need help because somebody may judge you for those words and we have silenced our voices and we have felt it's not something i do i mean don't you know i'm southern and i'm cute and i have a tiny house and everybody has a reputation and i need to protect it i'm letting you know sometimes that is the very reason why we don't get to our breakthrough god is willing and god is able but i'm telling you the enemy wants to burn your house down make no doubt about it he comes to kill steal and destroy he does not come to play fair he does not come to play nice he comes to destroy and the more he can silence you and weaken your voice your prayer life the more he commute it your attendance in the community of god the more he can make it where it just happens occasionally the more he can get you away from giving how god teaches us to give the more he can remove you from the things that the word says we should live by the more he puts a block between you and you interrupting jesus but the bible tells us in jeremiah 29 it tells us we should interrupt jesus he says then you will call on me and you will come and pray to me that's interrupting jesus and it says and i will hear your voice and i will listen to you how amazing is that like like think about that that the god of the universe wants to listen to you he wants to hear you he doesn't want to hear pastor joe just on your behalf he wants to hear you what you want to say and it says i will listen to you and then with a deep longing you will seek me and require me i love this next part as a vital necessity is he your vital necessity and you will find me when you search for me with all your heart i will be found by you he is highly interruptible matthew 11 28 says come interrupt me if you're weary anyone weary today anyone burdened today anyone that feels that they just can't get a break today you've got to learn how to interrupt jesus because when you do it says that he'll give you rest for your soul that his yoke is easy and his burden is light what about hebrews 4 verse 16 church let us then approach god's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace when in our time of need you and i are given full permission to interrupt jesus and you know why because you're god's kid it doesn't matter where i am in the world doesn't matter what i'm doing if my cell phone begins to ping and the number that pops up is one of my children if i see my daughter's name trying to call my phone or my son's name trying to call my phone doesn't matter what's happening guess what i'm gonna take the call why because relationship trumps rules and your relationship with your heavenly father trumps all the rules you don't have to think well my needs less than their need well i'm not sick as they are well i've got you know at least something left in the bank where kobe didn't affect me as much as it affected them no no no he wants to speak to all his kids he wants to move in all of his kids lives but he's waiting for the call he's waiting for that i want to interrupt you jesus about this situation in my life and so today i want to encourage you where is it time for you to interrupt jesus see i think sometimes we don't interrupt jesus because here's the deal when you interrupt jesus guess what jesus gets involved hello so we'd rather interrupt our facebook friend i would rather interrupt our little group because what they say is not going to be as challenging maybe as what god's going to say when we interrupt him see when you interrupt jesus he's like oh good you interrupt me you want me involved you're like oh no i'm not sure about that you want me involved in your finances awesome let's go you want me involved in that marriage to bring peace again let's go you want me involved in that broken relationship with your child let's go if you interrupt me i'm going to get involved and when i get involved things are going to change how much do you want things to change how much do you want your life to begin to look more like the life that christ has called you for how much do you want to reflect the jesus that says that you're his own how much is dependent on how much we interrupt jesus the more we interrupt him the more we involve him there are three stories that i just want to briefly refer to and i pray that today in these three stories that you will find you that maybe one of these stories you're like that is where i'm at right now and this story will encourage you in your journey because these three people they all needed a miracle and if you need a miracle today and you find yourself in a scenario like these three people you have to understand what they did is what you must do too they interrupted jesus the first story is in mark 5 verse 25 and it's a well-known story for many of us that have been in church for any length of time but it's a story about a woman that has disappointment after disappointment it's a story about someone that felt let down and let down again she was a woman that had an issue an issue of blood and this woman had been sick for a long time and maybe you feel in this room today like you have been sick or you have been depressed or you have been broke or you've been let down for a long time that was her story and maybe you feel like she felt that people have let you down hello join the club because she'd trusted people to help her she'd even paid people that said there were medical people to help cure her and nothing had worked and she was left worse than she was at the beginning because she'd interrupted everybody else but she heard on this one day there's this guy coming through town his name is jesus and something inside her that day began to change and though she was weak and maybe you feel weak and though she was disappointed and maybe you feel disappointed and though she felt that people had let her down and maybe that is your story something insider said i either stay in my disappointment or i take the journey of trying to interrupt jesus no one was gonna take her on the journey she had to make the decision for herself and with a body that was broken and a body that was failing her she began to drag her body to a place where she could try and interrupt jesus maybe that's what got you here today maybe you walk through these doors because somehow you're trying to get a breakthrough and you don't even know how you really found yourself here and you don't even know why you're here but something got you here today i'm telling you you got in the vicinity of jesus but you got to take the next step because that day there were many many people around jesus it tells us that there was a large crowd that were pressing around him in verse 24 and he says this large crowd that pressed around him and then there was this woman and she'd suffered such a great deal under the care of many but when she heard about jesus she decided i'm gonna try and interrupt him i don't even need a conversation with him i don't even need to sit down and have dinner with him i just think if i somehow interrupt him and for her the interruption looked like a stretch and if all you've got inside you today is a stretch it will do if all you've got inside you is i just got my body to church today and i really don't have any words for the situation i'm in but i know i need a miracle if all you have is a stretch i'm telling you if you stretch on purpose you will find purpose if you stretch deliberately you will find a breakthrough because there were many in the crowd that day and the bible tells us they were pressing and pushing all around jesus just like there's many in the room today that are worshiping and applauding and nodding their head or saying amen there's a lot of people in this space but jesus knew the difference understand this church jesus knew the difference from those that accidentally bumped into him and those that intentionally interrupted him [Applause] and he said she came up behind him because she thought was just a thought she thought if i just stretch if i just touch some part of his garment i will be healed if i just interrupt jesus something's gonna change and she stretched out and immediately do you notice that word for some of you there's an immediately today it's been weeks it's been months for some of you it's been over a year and i'm telling you there is an immediately today god's no different than he was a year ago but your stretch is going to be different today your desperation's going to be different today you're going to lose something of that politeness that keeps getting in the way and you don't care what anybody says because today you're gonna get your miracle this is a house of miracles and it says at once jesus knew the difference at once he knew power had left him he knew someone had interrupted him even though he'd not seen even though he didn't have a an eye line to who it was he knew someone touched me on purpose i love the disciples they give us all hope because he turned to the disciples and said who touched me and the disciples are like are you kidding me like jesus everyone's touching you like jesus says people everywhere there's crowds pressing everywhere what do you mean who touched you jesus is like no someone someone came today and was determined i am not leaving the way i came and maybe you came today with a latte in one hand and instagram scrolling in the other but while you have a latte and instagram in your hands you can't stretch and touch the hem of his garment like the stretch like like honestly can i say to some of you today some of you man in here the stretch that's in you is the miracle in your teenager the stretch in you as a dad to god's garment to say i am gonna get a breakthrough is the breakthrough that's gonna change things in your business the stretch in you as a woman of god is gonna be the thing that changes the community that you are in it's the stretch people it's the stretch it's not the swagger it's not the sway it's not the laid back it's the stretch we've got to stretch out of our disappointment out of our weariness and i know this past year has been a year that's made us weary but we've got to get our stretch back you know the first thing he said to her when he turned around to see who had interrupted him he locked eyes with her and he said this word daughter why because relationship trumps rules a daughter just asked dad to heal her and i'm all about a daughter interrupting the father i'm all about the son interrupting a father so maybe today you feel tired you feel worn out you feel disappointed but today i'm letting you know it's not about everybody else changing it's about you finding your stretch like can you find your stretch today and at the end of this service i'm going to create a moment where you can stretch if that's you maybe that's not you maybe you say shallot i wish i had a stretch in me i am stretched out i have stretch marks you want to see them i have no more stretch left i have stretched and i have stretched and i have stretched and i just feel like there's no more stretch to come i i hear you i've been there i i've been there where i don't want to go to church and i'm the pastor well i don't even want to show up today i know what that's like when you just feel immobilized by a circumstance where you feel blindsided by something that you didn't think was going to happen to you where you feel like what in the world is going on where did all these people start attacking me from i i know what that's like you might say i don't have a stretch in me today that's why we all need in our life a friend like my friend when i was at high school in england there was a a young guy in the class with me and he decided to be my friend in a very odd way i never asked for this i don't remember giving him permission for this his name was alan and alan decided to be my interrupting friend alan sat next to me in maths class and i had no idea what was going on for the majority of the time in my math lesson i'm like i don't know why that plus that makes that or why we need a fraction and a division and a multiplication i'm pretty sure i'll never use this in my life so i'm just going to sit here nod my head when everyone else nods their head and then i'm out of here we're all good but allen was not happy that i did not know what was going on and so alan all by himself decided that he would interrupt for me and so we'd be in the middle of lesson and i'll go excuse me sir hello excuse me yes alan um charlotte does not know what you're talking about like alan shut up like like i'm playing it cool like we have 15 minutes left i can get through this i just i nod my head i know how to do this and and so the teacher would come over and say okay let me help you let me explain to you what everybody else can see and you cannot see and i'd be like yes thank you sir thank you very much and then five minutes later excuse me sir yes alan she has no clue what you just explained to her like she is like more lost like like we need some more help over here every single maths lesson alan would interrupt the teacher for me because alan knew i needed help and i'm telling you you need some allen's in your life in certain seasons of your life that say i know girl things are bad and i know you don't think you want to go to church today but guess what i'm showing up i'm picking you up and i'm taking you to the house of the lord and there was a guy in mark two and he had the exact experience that i'm talking about he was a guy that actually had no stretch in him he physically couldn't even get up he was a he was paralyzed he spent his life laying down on a mat he lived all his life in this place of isolation stuck some of you feel so stuck you're like i i i don't have a stretch in me i'm just stuck i don't even know where to turn i don't even i don't even know the words to say and these friends showed up and they were coming in whether you say we can or not and they walked up to him and he looked at them and they looked at him and there was four interrupting allens and they said today you don't have the strength but i'm gonna take you to jesus you don't have a stretch but we have a stretcher we have a stretcher today and we're gonna get the stretcher underneath your body that says it can't go any further that you can't go on that you don't see any hope that the marriage is over that you don't think it can be fixed we're going to put a stretcher under you as friends and we're going to carry you to jesus and in that moment i'm sure there was a very awkward conversation because a lot of times we want people to sit by our bed but we don't want them to pick up our bed we want people to make us feel better but we don't want them to take us to where we will get better and there are times when as a friend you comfort someone but there are times where as a friend the best thing you can do is carry someone to the feet of jesus i'm just taking you to where the miracle is if you can't stretch today then you know what i pray that god has put around your life a stretcher friend and maybe today you are sat by someone and you know in this moment okay i just got my assignment my assignment is to stop sitting and wiping tears and my assignment is to say today we're gonna go to jesus today we're gonna make a change today we're gonna have a different conversation they picked up that stretcher and let me tell you when you begin to make your way to jesus when you begin to get to interrupting jesus there'll always be interference always it was interference for the woman that was trying to stretch as people got in front of her and climbed over there was interference for these guys as they tried to carry their friend to jesus they got out of the house and guess what crowds everywhere and i'm sure at that point he's like i told you guys i told you just leave me as i am like some of you i am literally now speaking out the conversation you've been having for last six months yeah i'm go i'm good i'm good i'm yeah i'm good i i don't need anything liar liar pants on fire yes you do need something you need an encounter with jesus you need friends that you can tell i am not i have not got this you need people that will get you out of the fog that you've got into you need to be carried in prayer you need to be brought to the house of god you need to some of you today i'm just going to say it something you need today need to enjoy the rest of this service then you need to get your cute coffee or whatever you're going to do then you need to get your book right back in here and get in that tank and get baptized and say i'm gonna take my stretcher into the water [Applause] like some of you like like you're like oh i couldn't i have my nice outfit on my hands doing my makeup whatever you see what we put in the way of interrupting jesus well i've got a roast in the oven and we're gonna have a nice family dinner okay yeah well your family dinner as great as it is it's not gonna save your marriage you're meeting with your girlfriend is not gonna save your kids we gotta sometimes realize man we got this all wrong we're more desperate to get to the sale at nordstrom than we have to get to the feet of jesus we have a problem his friends carried him and there was blockages everywhere but it doesn't matter because his friends were committed like like be a friend that doesn't not once but knocks twice in fact be the friend that knocks till they're so fed up of you you're like i ain't going anywhere so we might as well have the conversation like like i'm calling you because next week we're starting a series about being planted in the house and i know you've unplanted yourself and i'm just gonna call you from today all the way through to next sunday till you're so sick of me that you're gonna have to come with me because i'm more committed to your future than maybe you feel you are right now and i'm gonna be an alan in your life and carry you to jesus and i'm sure as they carried him he felt like wow they're bumping me and they might drop me and this is embarrassing and this is awkward but i'm telling you he wasn't saying any of those things when he got up and walked home so we got to get past the embarrassment and the awkwardness and the and they're actually having to push past the crowd and then the embarrassment of interrupting jesus mid-preach that's what they did they dug a hole in the roof above where he was standing imagine that it's like me standing here right now and suddenly debris falling on my head i mean that's kind of like it's it's an interruption that is not polite jesus didn't reprimand them jesus looked and he said you know what today a miracle is going to happen because your faith interrupted me and the first words he said to that man on that map is son today you're gonna walk home son today your faith has made you well why because relationship trumps rules some of you today you just need to be the friend that gets the stretcher you need to be the one that makes the phone call and some of you need to let your friends give you the stretcher you need to let them carry you in prayer let them carry you to that place a breakthrough maybe you're not a stretch maybe you're not someone that needs a stretcher but maybe you're someone that needs to find your shout and the last story i want to refer to someone that interrupted jesus was a guy that actually his whole life was defined by trying to interrupt people see he was a beggar and his whole life he tried to interrupt people to help him with his situation he would sit at the gates at the city and he would sit outside of the outskirts and he would begin to shout can anybody help me would anybody help me and he couldn't see was a blind beggar his name was bartimaeus and his story is recorded in mark 10 verse 46 and he tells us that he would sit there day in day out trying to interrupt people but no one would stop for him and maybe you feel that people have overlooked you said canceled you out not stopped for you and you're just tired of it and maybe you felt that about the church and it says that jesus was in town and i know but that day just like today something inside this blind beggar snap something inside you has to snap because some of you have lost your voice you used to cry out to god oh god i need you now you're like i'm okay god i got it and you settled for a life that is so much less than what god has for you this guy he says he was sat there and as jesus and his disciples together with a large crowd there's always a crowd we're leaving the city this blind man bartimaeus was sitting by the roadside like he always did begging but when he heard that it was jesus of nazareth he began to shout jesus oh that's not very polite oh that's a little bit of attention seeking you know the enemy has stole your shout out gotta get our shoutback church the world is shouting on every street corner their issues their agendas they're shouting in the high school over your kids they're shouting it politically from different platforms they're shouting about agenda and sexuality and what they believe that we should all believe and the church has lost his voice like like we we got given a natural mask and then when we could take it off we had a spiritual mask you found your shower again some of today you're gonna find your shout and go home and go all right i have something to say about this everyone's gonna be like you do as for me and my household we will serve the lord gonna shout his promises over your marriage we will not end in despair we will move to a higher place god will heal what is broken he will restore what the enemy devoured you to get your shout back some of you shout yeehaw or rodeos or wherever you go or shout for your football teams i heard you you're loud you texans but the place you should be the loudest is in the presence of your father now watch this he began to shout jesus oh be careful of the crowd the crowd is so fickle it starts to say shhh i don't post that post you don't want everyone to know you're a real christian like shh in the workplace don't say that you want people to not like you shhh and the crowd began to rebuke him and they said oh be quiet but jesus stopped because he knows when someone shout is interrupting him and said call him oh now watch the crowd so so the crowd all now go get the blind man and they cheer him on say come on on your feet jesus wants you we love you we're all coming with you because you're jesus favorite and we want to be his favorite too don't allow the crowd to shut down your shout out jesus said this and this is what i want to close us with what do you want me to do for you well that's a strange question because it's obvious he's blind but see jesus needs you to articulate what you want him to do for you he wants you to interrupt him on purpose intentionally to say it's my marriage he already knows it but you have to say it it's like when you're lost love you guys but if you're anything like my husband who happens to be here normally i can tell this story when he's not here so i'll deal with that issue later but you know when he's lost typically you know i'm like babe we could maybe put the window down and ask for directions no i got this i got this okay um i've seen that building like six times you sure you got this yeah i got this i got this i mean heaven forbid i would put the window down and let someone know that i actually need help right i'll put our windows up i want anyone to know my marriage is in trouble i don't want anyone to know that i'm actually lost i don't need to know that i'm faking it but you can't get found until you admit you're lost you can't get directions until you say where you're stuck so jesus says tell me what you want i need to hear it from your mouth and i'm here to let you know that jesus is in the room today he's up and down every single row you already feel him you sense him he's like i'm here and i'm highly interruptable but i've done all that i can do now you have to draw near to me so i draw near to you now you have to come all you are weary so that i can alleviate your burden now you have to bring to me your brokenness so i can hand you your restoration and i don't care if it's a stretch i don't care if it's a stretcher and i don't care if it's a shout but all i want to know is what do you want from me today i want us all to stand to our feet in the presence of jesus i need to close your eyes right where you're at it's time for somebody to interrupt jesus you've been around him you've been amongst his people but i'm telling you today if you will interrupt him this is a house of miracles [Music] i'm right as i'm speaking somebody i just want you to close your eyes and i want you to think about your situation your marriage your children whatever it may be i want you in this moment just to focus while i first of all ask one question and then i want to pray over all those that today want to interrupt jesus so you need to get ready to answer that question what do i want today be specific don't give god a list of 55 things start with one like start with one as people are thinking about that and making their own moment with god i'm just gonna ask one question first of all does anyone need salvation today like like your answer to the question would be i actually need jesus i actually i don't know him as my lord and savior or maybe you would say i am a stranger to him right now i was once close but i've allowed things to get in the way and i need to come back to jesus today if that is you that's the first interruption i want to deal with he is waiting to welcome you he is waiting to embrace you and today if you need jesus and you're saying i need salvation i need to come back to him i just simply as isaac was wanting to stick your hand in the air are you saying that's me today sharla i i'm gonna interrupt him for forgiveness for for a new start with my journey with him i want to come back to him i i know i've drifted from him i'm like a prodigal today but today i'm gonna interrupt him it takes boldness and and your hand is just the stretch that's all it is that's all he needs so many hands so awesome so awesome thank you for stretching today that's all he needs that hand is saying i'm stretching and he sees that and you don't need to be embarrassed or feel ashamed you got to get past all that you got to get past the politeness past what people think i am interrupting jesus today because this is my eternity right now with all those hands raised i'm going to ask everybody in the room to repeat this prayer after me and for you that have raised your hands this is a prayer that we're helping you say in this moment you can put your hand on your heart and right now i want everyone to repeat these words dear jesus today i come and i ask you to take my life i ask you to be lord of my life today i boldly approach you and i say forgive me for my sins today i come home thank you jesus for receiving me for loving me and for saving me in your name amen and amen so good [Applause] okay i'm over time that never happens but they told me i had a few minutes are we all good someone's gonna just pull me off with a crook in a minute but listen if you just did that i'm just gonna put it out there if you just did that there are baptisms in the next service like oh that's a stretch exactly oh i don't know if i can get there on my own i'm pretty sure you got friends around you who would carry you to the water oh i don't know you're gonna find your shout there's something about going down in the water and you're gonna come up with a yes jesus is my lord and my savior [Applause] all right anyone in here in this moment is saying okay i know what it is right i simply want you in this moment if you're gonna interrupt jesus for something this is a house of miracles i want you right now in your own way just begin to reach your hands to heaven come on this is a house of miracles i love this i think every hand is up which tells me that we've all got to get better about interrupting jesus i'm telling you something you're going to find tears begin to flow in a moment and you're not used to doing tears but it's okay that's what happens when you bring your things to jesus some of you are going to feel his presence all over you because that's what happens when you begin to touch the garment of jesus right now some of you are right now preaching you're stretching some of you're going to begin to cry out jesus because you're going to find your shout again you're going to interrupt him for your miracle this is your moment to interrupt jesus come on just begin to train him begin to lift your voice [Music] were god cause i still believe you're moving i still believe you're speaking god i believe you're working all things [Music] this is in the name of jesus [Music] you know we've watched a whole 18 months of interruption our whole world has been interrupted kingdom of heaven the bible says suffers interruption but the violent or the interrupters have a bigger interruption and i'm going to tell you you're either going to get sucked down into one interruption after another are you going to go higher and the only way we go higher is with that shout with that reach and let somebody get into our world let that friend tell you get your booty out of bed booty is a way that they say but in england texas england texas is right there by del rio anyway one more time can we
