for you God is fighting God is fighting for you and if God be before you there's nothing or no one that can stand against you as you're bringing seated put your hands together let Israel know how much we appreciate him here tonight I said let him know we appreciate him here [Applause] just a moment we're gonna go right back into praise and into worship into celebration into declaration I love how that song says I will live and I will not die sometimes you just got to make a declaration and set the record straight I'm gonna live and I will not die yeah 30 handle paneer right there just to make that declaration one more time say I will live and not die yeah you got settled in your mind set it in your heart I'm gonna live and I will not die we'll give this a moment here to [Music] generosity and giving I believe that generosity giving liberality is part of the heartbeat of God I'm grateful that God is not stingy concerning us he gave his best he gave his son to us but the Bible says that he hath given to us all things that pertain to life and unto godliness I'm glad that we serve a God that does not withhold any good thing from us but liberally herb I say liberally liberally he gives unto us we've been in time of praise and worship and celebration here tonight and I believe that with our praise we ought to also put with it a gift and again no Amen no talkback right there I believe that with your praise you ought to put a gift with it why do I say that praise you have to know is more than just a rhythm more than just melody more than just music praise has a power to it praise has the ability to open up something as a matter of fact if you look in the Bible you know that when the children of Israel when they went to war oftentimes they would ask who shall go up first and they would say sin Judah first sin Judah Judah means praise as we well know send appraisers first because the Prazeres have a way of opening up a thing they have a way of clearing out some space they have a way of causing the enemy that would stand in opposition to move out of the way and so they would send Judah first and then they would go in and the victory would come after the praisers went in first I believe tonight we've been clearing out some space we've been making things ready we've been opening things up through our prays and through our worship it's in that moment that you should seize the opportunity to give because you're giving then makes room for the blessing that comes after I don't know about you but I'm believing that tonight doesn't just end but tonight is a beginning that my praise opens up something that my praise clears the way and I'm gonna put a gift into this atmosphere because I believe following my gift will be blessing an opportunity and favor and the goodness of God so let's take this opportunity while we're in this space in this place of praise and worship and celebration while the atmosphere is open let's put something in our hands let's put a gift with our praise and give here tonight let us demonstrate the heart of God which is liberality and generosity through our giving here tonight if you need an envelope there should be one in the seat pocket just in front of you if not just shoot your hand up in the air and one of our service assistants will be sure to serve you giving stations are open at the back of the auditorium many of you like to give that way some of you like to give by way of the giving app and certainly that's available tonight as well but let us be liberal let us be generous let us seize this opportunity that we have opened up with our praise to sow something right here and right now awesome everyone's preparing the gift give you a moment to do that see our service service assistants are quickly passing out envelopes again we welcome everybody that is here tonight what a great great time we're having in the presence and in the power of God what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pray over our giving here tonight immediately after that there'll be a quick video of some upcoming things that are happening here at the tower and then after that I'll talk to our good friend Israel for just a few moments let's lift up our giving all over the building list of are giving our seed our generosity father we thank you for this another opportunity that we have to give in your house it's in this atmosphere that has been opened up with our praise and with our worship that we sow here tonight may the gifts may the seeds that we give cause what's fruit to come forward in our lives let a harvest a blessing in favor be released upon your people as they give tonight in the mighty name of Jesus and that every glad hearts say Amen god bless you as you give and while you do watch this [Music] someone's saying oh yeah got some exciting things happening here at the tower as we always do and you saw some of the special music guests that'll be coming in the Katinas will be here on the 15th helping us to celebrate Christmas if you have not heard Eric Taylor he is phenomenal on the violin we had him in last year and just just loved him he's gonna be back with us helping us to celebrate the Christmas season and then New Year's Eve night right here at the Tower our good friend Leon Timbo is gonna be with us as well so again mark your calendars invite some people to come out with you I know you're gonna enjoy your time here at the tower on each of those days is really my good friend let's chitchat for just a moment as I mentioned earlier we've been known each other for quite some time about 25 years or something like that you're down no your real friend I tried man I tried I come when you call me and I ain't been here seven years so I don't know what that says about me just count just totally messing with you I'm just kidding totally kidding totally kidding [Music] man I want to first of all say thank you I was thinking about you and I was thinking about the fact that you've made such a tremendous contribution to the body of Christ for nearly 30 years you've been writing music you have been leading worship you have been travelling the country you have been going to the nations of the world and through your god-given gift you've inspired hope and faith in the hearts of so many as I mentioned earlier much of your music has gotten each of us through difficult seasons it has been your music that has helped us to celebrate the great seasons that we've been through and what you have contributed to the body of Christ I recognize does not come easy that it has cost you something so I just want to say thank you man a couple more times and Toledo you've been with us yeah I can remember times in Mexico that we've been there together this recently you came back with our Bishop from South Africa ministering at many of our churches over there you crisscross the world time and again tell me a little bit about what you have seen and what you are seeing in churches in the area of worship and praise what's happening I mean I feel like you know when I first sat down in 1995 to write what has now become like the vision for what I'm doing now I was writing stuff that made no sense like I wanted I want to lead a group I want to call it new breed I wrote this in 95 new breed didn't really form until 2000 but in next year I'll mark 20 years that we've been together at that cornerstone and Toledo was when we first and but I remember writing these exact words I want to put a group together that is intentionally cross cultural cross generational and cross denomination let me stop you right there because that sounds good right yeah why is that so important well I mean now I understand you know especially in the times we're living in that it is so easy for us as humans to kind of draw lines and go this is where I stand this is where you stand this is what I like this is what you like and if we're not careful we bring all that with us to church Wow and and so you know and I wrote that then almost as a voice crying out in the wilderness until I got around people who thought the same way Bishop it's yourself are two of those in particular that I was like oh we all we all speak the same language and our language is not what's my box look like right my language is what does the world look like and how can we how can we help paint it so to speak because I believe glory has a sound and I believe that our whole purpose was to cover the earth with the sound of the glory of God and so in that you know everywhere I go I feel like I'm just helping cover the earth paint the earth you know and so just just just now I'm seeing I kind of shared this the other day I'm seeing what I believe to be what I hope to be amen just a an awakening another Jesus Movement Wow so my mom got saved in 1971 in kind of at the beginning of the hike of the Jesus Movement which is over almost 50 years ago she was seven years pregnant of seven years seven months pregnant that's some kind of pregnancy right [Applause] he was a long time coming long time comment brother she was seven months pregnant eight months pregnant in a late she was 17 years old she had been doing drugs throughout her whole pregnancy state of California said you know as soon as this child comes we're taking him away from you because you are unfit and a lady you know you've brought if you've been here for any length of time you've probably heard me share this but a lady just crossed the street where she was and shared Jesus with it and I I like to look at it and go that's amazing they weren't in a church hmm there was no organ playing I mean there was no kind of structure for an altar call to happen but an altar call happened it happened and she gave her life to Jesus right there and I know that this is rare but literally the second she prayed the taste for drugs the appetite for drugs the addiction will and I know listen I know that's a miracle no that's not that's not normal but neither is Jesus all right but I I find myself very interested without mentioning names with what's happening in culture right now and how the name of Jesus is being shouted on regular broadcast networks not just in church and and as excited as I am about that I'm also very concerned that the church won't know what to do with the revival that's coming to it like because I feel like we've we've become really good at going so we're the church and this is how we do it so stand here and make sure that you learn the handshake and the Christianese and everything that goes with there and so my prayer as of late has been God everything we've learned as worshippers and as professional Christians they've been no shade that that we would unlearn that and that a real Jesus movement would hit this nation again and hit the globe again and I really believe this time around worship has a significant something to do with it you know and so I'm seeing it I'm seeing this just this thing man there's crackling this electricity all over the world we certainly Bishop and I spent almost two weeks in South Africa a couple weeks ago and just you could see it you can feel it you can hear it there's a lot of questions there's questions that are coming from outside the church as well as within the church and I feel like if if ever we needed something disrupted it's the church needs a disruption and good old Jesus disruption so I'm excited about it man you mentioned a couple words you mentioned awakening you mentioned revival you mentioned disruption right I think all those are connected I did and they and then wrapped up in there you said but we got to unlearn some things quite possibly it's not that we need to learn something we need to unlearn something before we can learn something my prayer as as of late has been that God I want to unlearn some of the stuff I've learned and by the by the you by that I mean after doing this for thirty years professionally right I know how to get into just about any environment and say the right thing right so that so that if I'm feeling slightly insecure I know how to I know how to make my ego feel better by saying things like I can't get no help in here and everybody goes and yet ain't nobody changed right I might feel good for four seconds but it's the same old same old and so you know I remember when I first started leaving worship matter of fact I'll try and tell this story very quickly on pastor called me on a Wednesday morning I was the drummer in our worship team I was 19 and he says hey I want you to consider being our worship leader and I said what you say to the pastor when you don't want to say no what did I say I said oh yeah praise God I'll pray about it and he go he must have anticipated that this was coming because I liked being back in the cut in my little apartment back there had AC and everything in there and I was good just playing the drums he must have known that that was coming he goes well okay cool pray hard and pray fast because you start tonight I'm not making this up this is a true story so I gotta care what the Lord - yeah you start tonight you do start tonight God said so I got up there and I'm gonna make a long story short I I just crashed and burned for about six weeks straight I knew two songs celebrate Jesus celebrate about three weeks in I added jesus is alive and we met lead those joints breakthrough can't meet and then I knew remember that yeah basically I just wanted to be wrong cannoli that's really what I'm driving up and it was so bad and every week I'd go to the pastor on Sunday night that's back when we had Sunday night service amen and I would say to him hey praise God pastor I quit and every time he'd be like yeah I know that was a rough one there's rough but I'll see you Wednesday you leave more Splinter I feel like a man come on please like I just want to play the drums our drummer is terrible like let me jump in there again find somebody else and every week he'd be like hey you know but I remember the first when he asked me to lead worst if I called my mom I said mom I get to lead worship tonight you know what should I do and my mom was like what are you gonna wear that was her main concern like what are you wearing to make a long story short I kind of got that all figured out and learned more songs and more importantly I got with God off of the stage you just said what a concept like nobody had told me that worship could be a lifestyle worship was just not just singing Russia is not just music matter of fact that's that's the end result of that worship is the placement of your heart and so I went home and got with God and and I simply prayed this prayer God if this is what you're calling me to do then teach me how to worship you teach me and I sat in my little piano there and just invited the presence of God into my little house and and I believe all these years later I'm here as a result of that but if I fast forward from that moment maybe 15 20 years and at Lakewood leading and I'm on my way to church and somebody calls me and says hey I've got courtside seats tonight to to the Rockettes and the Lakers Kobe Bryant you know yeah me and like it was back then I'm dated myself a little bit but and I say this to my friend oh man I would love to but I gotta leave worship tonight and he goes hey we'll no problem you know we'll do it another time it's always good to know a few rich people so he had season tickets whatever and as I get off the phone with him I'm driving to church and I felt God say to me let me make sure I heard you correctly and he reminded me that the first time I ever was asked to leave were sore when I didn't know nothing I called my mama and I said mama I get to leave worship tonight but now that I've sold some records and done some tours and won some awards now I'm like I got a lead worship tonight like my get two turned into a got tuna and on that's a word for certainly every worship leader and team member here but that's a word for every Christian that's the word for every believer one of the reasons why I like coming here every seven years is [Applause] I'm just kidding I'm totally kidding let that go please let it go what are the reasons why I love coming here is because this is one of the few churches in America that understands that it don't matter what's happening on the platform got six people in agreement with me work on this that that when I when I come to strong tower when I go to Cornerstone when when I go to people who have been taught right and who teach right everybody comes in the door with an understanding that I have something to give to the my atmosphere I'm not just coming waiting for something to happen this is a gift to imagine I'm just wondering imagine how our services would go if we all came together around to get to yes like I'm not here out of obligation I'm supposed to serve this week so I mean I got a sir but like imagine like imagine how our offerings would go they'd be so simple be like okay now we're gonna give everybody yes I get to give I know that sounds euphoric and fantastic but I just I decided that the further I've gone in this thing the more I want to unlearn and the more I want to get back to that kid who whose leg was shaken out of control when he is on the stage going god this is a privilege this is an honor and I'm scared to death about it and I just need you to come and do do what you do because I've realized the my own strength I can't be nothing and so I just want to encourage everybody you know there there is there is a revival I don't believe it's coming I believe we're standing in it right now I must say it again I don't believe it's on the way I know we're conditioned to go get ready something's coming right but I believe if you look around you if you just could take five minutes in here the person's story next to you you would realize you are sitting or standing in an actual real time revival book and what would happen if we every time we came together lived at that kind of understanding that God is moving we're not asking him to come do something matter of fact he's the host where the guest so he's like get involved in what I'm doing because there is something about to get your home not seen in this city there is something that is stirring all over the world men SiC somebody next you say it is a privilege it is a gift to to be in the presence of God so that's what I see happening and that's what I'm excited about [Applause] [Music] I appreciate you challenging us because that's what you just did is to move from got to and back to get to that's a major shift right there and I think if we can make that shift we'll be able to participate in what God is doing right here and right now put your hand on yourself and say this with me tonight I'm moving from got to to get to come on let's worship God some more here tonight [Applause] how many see it as a privilege [Music] you check with the enemy man for me and you churn it for good you turn it for good you take what the enemy meant for me you turn and you turn it for good say it now you take with the enemy and you turn it [Music] you know that second you take you [Music] again [Music] you check what the enemy [Music] we're gonna sing that we're gonna sing the whole song in a minute but when we get to that section there's choreography warned the person actually there's gonna be some choreography here guys [Music] at the very least at least and I know there's some people way too cool for this so at the very least you take [Music] that's not too bad right it's dark enough you take [Music] but to the degree that he's turned things around for you come on let's go you take I'm doing this [Music] turn that thing [Music] you turn how many have seen God turned some great things around in your life [Music] maybe former it won't prosper when the darkness falls in won't breathe because the god I serve knows only China [Music] my god will never fail sing my god I'm gonna see your picture me I'm gonna see you No I wanna see you picture me [Music] to you oh Jesus [Music] everyone [Music] whoa [Applause] to you take you turn you tear it now you tell me [Music] [Applause] to turn if you turn [Applause] [Music] you take with the enemy meant for evil

[Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] some might be wondering why are we standing in this moment why are we moving on to the next song why isn't someone saying something I think sometimes we can get so programmed into looking for what's next that we miss what is now [Music] sometimes just recognizing that we're standing in the presence of God [Music] knowing that he is in the midst of us is the most important thing that we can do I just want to wait and bask in his presence just a little longer we're not gonna hold you all night but quite possibly in this moment what you need God is wanting to do for you right here and right now as the musicians continue to play just embrace the presence of God right here [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] right here in this moment I want to pray one prayer while the Spirit of God is ministering to our hearts why we can sense his presence in the midst of us quite possibly they are some here tonight that feel the Spirit of God drawing you closer you can't really explain it or really describe it but you can feel the Spirit of God just drawing you closer maybe it's because you have been disconnected from God maybe it's because for a while for a season you've been going your own way doing your own thing but in this moment you can feel the love of God the presence of God drawing you close maybe you're in here tonight and you've never been in an environment like this never been in a setting like this and you've never ask Jesus Christ to be the lord of your life but at this moment you can feel the love of God you can feel the heart of God reaching for your heart just a moment I'm gonna pray a prayer if you hear today you you can sense that that love that grace and you say tonight I want to draw close to him I either want to return back to him or tonight's my night to ask Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior we gonna pray up here together matter of fact take your neighbors hand right here everyone around the building begin praying one point another father we pray for the one on our left and on our right that no matter where they find themselves here tonight may they sense your love your grace reaching for them may they since within their heart that you love them that you accept them tonight if there's anyone in this building that needs to return to you or to come to you let tonight be the night for them I pray for my sister my brother let them not leave this building without saying yes to you let them not leave

Lord of raisins now right here come on if you're thankful that Jesus died for you that he paid the price he settled the score he has sets you free I feel like I gotta pray one more prayer if you're in here tonight and you're in the midst of some kind of struggle [Music] during the mists of some kind of struggle some kind of battle I don't know if it's with drugs or alcohol or lust or perversion but you're in the middle of some kind of struggle you wanna be free but it feels like you can't get free you want to move forward in your life which it feels like something keeps pulling you back some kind of struggle could be with depression could be with thoughts of suicide could be with eating disorder if you're in the middle of some kind of struggle feeling this moment that we should move on until we pray a prayer of deliverance and the yoke of bondage is broken here tonight [Music] can I tell you that the Jesus that I serve is greater than any struggle that you might be in here tonight the God that I serve is greater than any struggle that you might be in here tonight I wish I could get a witness right here today [Music] watch this has anybody ever been set free from anything lift
