instantly healed i looked at my mom i think i was eight or nine i said it worked and she looked at me and her eyes got big and she said it worked jesus loves to heal there's something that happened that moment in my mother and in me where this like belief that just came so strong on us that jesus is the healer that jesus loves to heal he loves to heal he died and he's rose from the dead for your healing he wants to heal your heart he wants to heal your spirit he wants to heal your body two weeks ago somebody came in here with a messed up ankle in crutches and we prayed for her and god healed

different ways that you can give we love to give this is our year of upgrade we got prophesied over our church this is a year of upgrade who's ready for their upgrade who who's a perfect candidate for an upgrade i know i am we did our vision night we're praying to upgrade the house and and we're going to see improvements to start even this week on our buildings but there was a couple that was praying and saying god what should we give and both of them got the same number individually and it was way more than they thought they could they were able to give but they knew the lord was saying let's be obedient do you know obedience is a part of your upgrade that when we give when we're being obedient to the lord and when we give he actually upgrades us he upgrades us so i want to pray over you and pray over your tithe and your offering that you're going to give to the lord so if you give through your phone you give your wallet would you just grab that i don't have either right now but would you grab and hold that in your hand your phone or or your wallet would you just put that in your hand as just an offering to the lord and i just want to pray of you so grab that in your hand i'm going to bless you lord jesus we bless the offering this morning we bless every family that's giving out of obedience lord would you upgrade them we declare and we prophesy upgrade for every person in

pastor wes would you welcome as he comes up praise the lord so good to see each one of you we have such an amazing amazing treat but just before we do that could you give our worship team just a big hand wow so good so good thank you laura hayley braun from um reading california bethel church i think she's been there been on staff for 12 years there for 13 years she's brought five of her team she is such an amazing woman of god full of faith in love with jesus her husband let her come she's got a four-month-old she's got a three-year-old and i think a five-year-old or a six-year-old and i'll tell you what the first service was absolutely outrageous get ready for all the god has haley we welcome you we honor you god bless you [Applause] thank you thank you thank you can we give the worship team a hand can we thank them for serving us amazing wow hello are you guys you're like wow she's very excited i am very excited it's so wonderful to be with you um what a special church you are all a part of what a special special house it's um amazing to get to travel and get to experience the bride of christ throughout the nations really um and so one it's been a lo it's been a hot minute since we've been traveling so it's wonderful to actually be somewhere else in the world hallelujah praise god um the accent is south african if you're wondering i'm from south africa but i've been living in reading for the last 13 years but in getting to travel you get to experience different different houses of worship and all very special to the lord but this one is rich very rich your leadership is powerful um there's a there's a real humility on your leadership it's amazing to see very gifted very skilled very anointed and yet very humble and very hungry which the evidence of hungers like the evidence hunger is the evidence of humility that's it when when we are hungry when we desire more we recognize that we don't have everything and so um it's just such a privilege to be a thank you pastor wes for for having me for hosting me for allowing me to come and speak to your precious people is really such a privilege so thank you um i want to show you a few pictures because i've got some special humans at home right there is my little libby lou her name's liberty and she is three and a half she's wonderful some people say she's a homie with an extra chromie um she is such a delight she's my middle one she's full of fire honestly fire lots of you know when you name your children just be aware we named her liberty and she will break every box anyone tries to put her in and so she's wild she loves jesus loves the presents and then next we have mister i think it's mr ade that's aidan um oh you can see can you see the tenderness in those eyes that's exactly how his heart is he's a little creative a little prophetic has a real strong prophetic gift but uh through a lot through what we call feeling so he experiences emotions of people and people around him deeply caring he'll come and just come try massage my shoulders sometimes it's not very effective but for him it's it's expressing immense love and so that's my aiden and then oh we didn't have a picture last service sad for them but lucky for you this is ash this is my little ash benjamin and he's four months old oh and he kept daddy awake a whole lot last night so daddy got four hours of sleep from five until nine praise god but this is my little ashy and then i think we'll see daddy next there is my that's before we added number three um but there is ryan joseph braun absolute king he's the greatest man listen you want to marry a man like that ladies if you're single full of the love of jesus full of the fire of god but just ready to partner with me in in connection like we he's yeah i'm like out of words i'm so sorry he's just been such a servant he has served me loved me given to me haley braun does not get to do what hayley braun does without ryan braun and i'm just so grateful so if he was here we'd stand up and cheer for him but i'll give him a little clap in my heart lyanna and helena i believe you are up is that right um i've well get laid first let's have my foot my team so sorry as soon as you forget because you do it already this is my team i brought a team of five thirties with me when i say they are the best of the best i mean they are the best of the best i'm not being nice i literally these are um men and women of god that have left everything to pursue the heart of god to be equipped to to walk out the power of god in the world in the world and so we have michael and helena deyoung from italy and amsterdam and now the world we have leanna austin from london and then we have kate kate we don't know where kate is from she's a missionary kid so um it's you can kind of spin the wheel and she's probably been there so born in zimbabwe grew up in asia lived in california for the last nine years and then we have michael bus from eugene oregon and so we're representing the nations because i'm south africa so if you could just welcome them give them a hand so good to have them with us and while they cheer will you guys come up thank you so much so i've just asked uh two of my team members just to come up and just how awesome to ask the holy spirit what do you feel like god is going to do in our midst just to increase our faith attach our faith to what we feel god's gonna do and so they're just gonna share what they feel like god wants to do in the service hi good morning guys um so in worship the lord was remembering me of a painting that i painted and i think he was bringing that to my mind so i could share it with you guys i was painting a picture of simba of the lion king and a very important line in the movie is remember who you are and as i was painting the lord was teaching me about identity and he said it's remember whose you are you're my child you're my daughter you don't have to earn my love you don't have to perform fight for identity it's set it's a gift i've given it to you guys and as worship continued in one of the songs there is a line as the lion is roaring in victory and i felt like that's what god is doing this morning over you he it's already done he already paid the price the identity is set in stone and he's roaring over you and another line that i heard him say over you guys was servant hands and a king's heart and i feel he wants to invite you into a process he said he knows they know how to serve but now i want to install the king's heart [Applause] come on helena i mean yes god is good hello everybody i just want to say it's a privilege to be here with you um last night at the prayer meeting i was like this is a well like wow this is such a well of revival and i really feel like the lord is going to pour out in this place even more and um um it through worship i saw um a great vine and i saw um i don't know what the process is but i saw a stick holding up the vine and um it was enabling the vine to grow and grow and grow and extend and extend and extend i don't know if that's a real life process but um i just felt the lord on that image and then he brought me to john 15 which says wow thank you jesus i am the true vine and my father is a vine dresser every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away and every branch that does does bear fruit he prunes that it may bear more fruit already you are clean because of the word that i've spoken to you abide in me and i in you i just want to repeat that abide in me and i in you and i feel like wow you're going to come into a season of deep um abiding with the lord and it's in that where i feel the extension of what you already have in the vision of this church is going to extend extend and extend bless you thank you so much wow [Applause] wow the first service we had three of them share and then i had the other two and i'm like all of them could preach a message so what am i doing up here nope i'm here to speak it's um honestly such a gift before i start i just want to prophesy over this uh beautiful family over rachel and mark if i'm correct um i actually got to meet your delightful son in the back he wasn't super sure if i could preach uh we we had a little chat we we found out that he has three siblings twin sisters and a brother who's his his built-in buddy uh and we had a good chat about that but when i told him i probably had to head back in because i just went to bathroom he because i had to preach he looked at me like he wasn't super sure and i was like you know what god can use me because he used the donkey in the bible so if you don't know that story he's going to ask you about it later um but if you guys don't mind just standing i just um wow i just sensed the delight of the father over you both through both services and i sense the favor of the father coming to rest upon you in increased measure and i felt like the lord calls you faithful that you have been faithful in and out of season and you've been faithful to his heart i've i feel i've just felt him say that you've been faithful to my heart and to carry my heart and to release my heart and when things could have got complicated you remain faithful to my heart and i i felt the lord just want to recognize and honor you for your faithfulness for your hunger i i sense that there's a hunger for the real thing a hunger um and a sense of call to equip people to carry out the works of service and i just felt that the lord was just affirming and confirming the call on your life to equip the body of christ to carry out the the commissioning that jesus has released of us we're going to be speaking about today and it just felt like he was saying that he's going to put a favor on your life that he's going to make you visible where you've been invisible and that he's going to begin to promote you but not because of skill but because of faithfulness you you are very skilled and you are very gifted but he wants you to know that what has made room is your faithfulness to him and your faithfulness to his heart and your faithfulness to his heart will continue to promote you um with favor with man and with him so we just bless you i bless your family god we pray for a supernatural covering over this family god we pray for an in infusing of the holy spirit that the holy spirit would dwell i see the increase of the holy spirit in your home i see worship springing up in your home i see worshipers in your home and i see i see there's an evangelist in your home i believe it could be this little one standing right here um just such a heart for people i see a love for people and it's gonna it's the love of god for people and so we just bless you in jesus name amen amen i'm going to get into preaching because i got 23 minutes welcome everyone online it's so good to see you all i've just pioneered an online school for bssm so i have a high value for online god has broken my paradigms of what he can do i love the in-person experience and i don't i'm not saying that we should lose that but god will do what only he can do i've seen people healed online i've seen people baptized in the holy spirit online i've seen people delivered online um i think our first online meeting we had with students we had over 60 miracles happen via zoom and so um online thank you for joining us and we're trusting that as we receive in this room that you receive the exact same portion because god is not a respecter of buildings he is everywhere um today i want to talk about the transformed life and so in john 3 16 we all know it is such a popular verse for god so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever should believe in him will not perish but have eternal life and all of us who are here who have accepted jesus into our heart have accepted a life not just to walk on this planet but an eternal life however your life isn't just meant for it for heaven your life is here and purpose to bring heaven to earth jesus in matthew 28 verse 18 if you want to open there if you have your bibles i'm going to read it sorry i hit john first so we've got to get to matthew 28. so i'm going to set the scene jesus has as we head into this jesus has been crucified has been in the tomb three days in the holy spirit does the great touchdown and resurrects his body i would love i would have loved to be that if there's one movie i could watch in heaven it would be the dead body of jesus encountering the power of the holy spirit and it began to breathe again and that was if that's the movie i could watch in heaven and that's not going to be my first request is to watch the touchdown i call it the touchdown isn't it crazy that god says the same spirit that raised christ from the dead lives in you you think about the messiah lying dead crucified in the tomb not not just for a moment but for days and then the presence of god the holy spirit the breath of life comes and touches down on a cold body and breath comes back in the lungs and blood begins to flow thank you jesus and so in this moment jesus is resurrected but in the process while he was while he was dead he goes down into hades and what he what he does is he retrieves keys what are those keys those are the keys that adam and eve gave away in the garden adam and eve were given all authority to subdue the earth to to walk on the earth god said like subdue the earth they named the animals they were supposed to tend to the earth and walk with god as they did so but in their desire to be god and they desire to have control they revoked surrender they picked up control and what they did was they gave the keys of authority away to the serpent they let the lies of the serpent they handed the authority to the lies of the serpent and so the enemy was wreaking havoc on the earth which is why god released his son because god was tired of being far away from his kids and so jesus comes and what he does is he goes down and he goes and retrieves the keys that adam and eve gave away and he's and in this moment i like to picture it's obviously jesus isn't actually doing this but i'm visual so i like to picture jesus handing the keys of all authority again the keys that we're destined to be in the sons and daughters of god and jesus doesn't go listen you guys messed it up we've had a bit of issues with you i keep trying to tell you stuff you never believe me then you crucified me i'm done with humanity i'm going to peace out to heaven i'm going to hang out with the angels with the authority and wait for a better creation he doesn't say that he doesn't say listen you messed it up i'm just going to hang out in heaven wait for you to kind of get your resurrected bodies and and then live in heaven and then we'll give you authority no he says to the very creation that sent him to the cross he says now all authority i give to you and he says as he says all authority i give to you oh sorry so authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth therefore go make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit teaching them to observe all i've commanded and lo i'm with you always even to the end of the age following the story jesus ascends into heaven and he tells his disciples go wait in the upper room and we all know in acts 2 sorry in acts 1 first jesus says go gather in the upper room for i'm going to pour out my holy spirit it says but you will receive power when the holy spirit has come upon you and you shall be my witnesses in both jerusalem judea and samaria and even to the remotest parts of the earth so he's saying hey this commissioning i've given you you need to go wait for something it's the baptism of the holy spirit and what happens is the holy spirit falls and and the apostles are touched tongues of fire manifest on their head first thing i want to tell you is that though you've been called you have to be filled that you aren't just called to be saved you are called to transform the world not through world domination a lot of us think that transforming the world means we have to do it in one time on one mic to all seven eight billion people on the planet in a culture right now i don't know if you're aware but we're in a highly um influential culture we're able to reach people in all parts of the world at all times and you can feel the commodity of influence being traded through the world and unfortunately i think it's getting on our church where christians believe that they're only valuable if they can influence many but jesus says i left the 99 for the jesus isn't looking for one person to transfer transform the world he's looking for a people look with me in acts 2. in acts 2 so i said that the holy spirit falls fires on them and everyone thinks they're drunk because they're speaking in tongues and then verse 14 says but peter taking his stand with the eleven raised his voice and declared to them men of judea and all who live in jerusalem let this be known to you and give heed to my words for these men are not drunk as you suppose for it's only the third hour of the day but this is what has been spoken through the prophet joel and it shall be in the last days god says that i will pour forth my spirit on all mankind and your sons and daughters shall prophesy your young men shall see visions your old men will dream dreams even on my bond slaves both men and women i will in those days pour forth my spirit who is he pouring his spirit on all flesh in the old testament the holy spirit will come upon one but in the new testament because of jesus and the empowerment of the holy spirit now he is filling each and every single one of us who believe with his presence and what is his presence it's the empowering presence of god for us to do the works of service i don't know about you but i grew up in an environment i've loved jesus my whole life so i got saved when i was three listening to salty the singing song book ah and um i remember saying to the lord he salty was crying and i was very moved by salty crying and he was like why are you crying so he's like you can sing and sing until you bloom the face but if it's not from your heart it's not praise and as a three-year-old i told jesus that i wanted him coming to my heart and i wanted to sing songs only from there and i got saved then but i grew up in environments who where people love god but the spirit of god wasn't necessarily available wasn't necessarily taught wasn't necessarily welcomed he was kind of like taboo and the problem is when you don't have the empowering presence of god you have to look to your own might and your own power in zechariah it says it's not by might nor by power but by my it's not by might nor by power but by my you see if you don't have the spirit of god you're going to look to your own might and your own power you're going to look to your own ability you're going to look to to your history to your past to your gifts some people think that the gifts of the spirit the one you the ones you get given at birth are the only ones you ever get i want to tell you the holy spirit isn't hanging up in heaven waiting for you to come he is available to you now and if you need the gift of faith he's available to provide it if you want to see the the sick healed the dead race he is available to provide the power to see that happen some of us we we've been so tangled up in the spirit of religion that we think we're only as valuable as what we can do we want to prove to god want to perform for god hoping that he'd love us more i want to tell you god couldn't love you any more than he did when jesus died on the cross the greatest declaration the greatest declaration of your value is in the picture of the cross of jesus that the pure and spotless lamb would be willing to lay down his life so that you could live a life full of abundance you know and when we begin to think about transformation and we think and we i felt the lord was like i want you i want you to shrink it down haley i want you to shrink it down from the world that says you're only valuable if you've got 3 000 followers on instagram or something i don't even know whatever how many followers do you have to be famous three hundred thousand probably nowadays three million but god says i don't wanna i don't wanna transform the world through one i wanna transform the world through you do you know that you are the plan for the hope of glory to be seen you are the plan not past the west i mean he's part of it but he's not the only plan if he's left his own devices he would never get done you are the plan god didn't say i'm going to pour myself out on some flesh on certain flesh on a certain gender a certain race group certain socioeconomic value he didn't say that he said i will pour out my spirit on all flesh why because he wants the world to be transformed by love but first he wants to transform you it says you can teach what you know but you impart what you live we can gain all the knowledge in the world but if we are not empowered by the presence of the holy spirit we are releasing form with no power and god wants to use you and you might be sitting there thinking yeah maybe everyone else except me haley you don't know my past i'm not very good speaker i remember moses saying that i'm not very good at speaking and yet god used him to deliver how many over 500 000 without a sound system that would be a fascinating thing to do gideon was hiding in a wine press sheaving wheat for himself because you're scared the midianites we're gonna we're gonna take because they were just the what the israelites would grow all this crop and the minions would come in and take everything in that stove and gideon's hiding there threshing a little piece of wheat for himself i want to tell you wasn't there he wasn't trying to like do the five loaves and two fish thing he was like i just want a little bit of bread for myself before i starve and god calls him a mighty man of valon gideon goes i'm the youngest of the youngest of the youngest i'm the least of these and then god says but he put gideon on like a glove maybe you're the youngest of the youngest of the youngest maybe you're hiding moses was in the wilderness he just murdered an egyptian he wasn't he wasn't like in a pilgrimage he was running maybe you're hiding maybe maybe your marriage is broken maybe you have a strained relationship with one of your children maybe maybe you you come to church on a sunday but you're a different person on monday i want to tell you that you won't transform yourself by your own deeds but you will be transformed by the holy spirit in this in this passage here peter this man that stands up in in the midst of this outpouring of the holy spirit peter's the one that declares i'll pour my spirit on all flesh the same peter in chapter four who's in prison who's who's crying out for more of god so that he can become bold do you know who that peter was before the holy spirit fell on him that peter was the peter that denied jesus three times because he didn't want to go to prison the same peter that didn't want to go to prison was crying out for more boldness in prison after the holy spirit fell on him in john 21 jesus says to peter peter do you love me and he uses the word agape which is unconditional love peter do you love me yes lord you know i fully owe you you know i love you as a friend jesus asked again peter do you agape me do you love me without condition are there no conditions to your love peter's not so sure god you know i fully owe you jesus adjusts and then says peter do you fully owe me and he says god you know i fully are you jesus had to adjust to peter but when the holy spirit fell on peter peter became like jesus god is increasing hope today in the room because your hope is not in your own ability your hope is in surrender in man-made religion logic falls so we get what we deserve in god made religion we get what he deserves because he is a good father when um my my kid uh my aiden popsicle um sorry lots of funny names for him when he was four we decided to sign him up for soccer and if you've ever seen four and five-year-olds play soccer there's not much soccer that actually happens but a bunch of us as friends we gather together and we put our kids on the same soccer team and um most soccer teams are kind of comprised of people that don't know each other so it was kind of an unfair advantage in terms of uh fans on the sidelines because we had all these parents that loved not just our own kid but we loved each other's kids and my son spent more time being a transformer or an avenger on the soccer field than he did actually kicking a soccer ball very imaginative you know creative i just watched his creative gift happen on the soccer field but um and there was one only one kid that really scored goals ever this is just one kid that really made us win any games otherwise we would have lost every one of them but those kids as poor soccer players as they were you could swear we were at the world cup finals the way that those parents shouted i mean we went from like parents on the sidelines to like a group of about 50 of us there was like third years coming other our other friends who had older kids just to watch four and five-year-olds play soccer but actually i think they were there to watch the parents my friend dave ward we would have to frequently pull him off the field because he gets so excited to run on the field to cheer on his son get in the game boy run boy like it was it was kick the ball kick the ball tackle you know dave just going after his like six foot four as well you can't miss him you know what the lord said to me though the lord said haley you're not cheering because of how successful your kids are at playing you're cheering because they're in the game some of you think that you need to score a goal to please god but heaven is cheering because you're in the game some of you have put yourself on the bench because you think you have to be the best striker you have to be the most fancy person you have to be eloquent of speech maybe god uses the people without a past hear that jesus blood doesn't just cover the sin you did 15 years ago he covers the one you did 15 minutes ago believe god wants to come in in such a way that you won't recognize the person that you knew yesterday a year ago in january of 2020 i was apprehended by the holy spirit i've loved god all my life but something happened to me when the holy spirit filled me i shook for six weeks i'd be crying out for a baptism of fire in my sleep my husband would wake up to me prophesying over the nations in my sleep i guess that sounds impressive until you shaking in trader joe's trying to get you groceries but that day god god killed the fear of man in me he began to eradicate this place in my life where i was mixing my love for god i had mixture in there i had hesitation i was afraid of what people would think i used to want to be small i loved to preach but i was afraid i would offend people or or i would say the wrong thing or i was like god can't i just stay small but you see this isn't about becoming a preacher this is about releasing the love and the voice of god through a little life and who am i to resist him if god wants to fill this clay jar with his glory so the world can see his glory who am i to say no and i want to tell you you might feel small like i felt small you might feel unqualified like i felt unqualified but i want to tell you what qualifies you is not your ability but it's not about what you do it's about who you belong to you belong to the king of kings and the lord of lords you belong to jesus christ the only one the only one true king and he doesn't just call you to do something he fills you and empowers you with what you need i felt like god was gonna i felt it earlier the lord told me on the airplane that he's to restore marriages he's going to restore relationships with children and parents i felt it earlier that that some people some of you parents you felt like you messed it up with your kids because you didn't know the grace of god and so you raised them in law you raised them in religion and you hear these messages sometimes and you feel guilty and you feel ashamed and you're estranged from your kids i want to tell you guilt and shame is a liar because the love of god is available to you and with a one touch of the holy spirit you can reach out to your children if they never reach out back to you you don't have to feel you don't have to move in condemnation anymore but you can reach out to them in love condemnation makes us want to pull back give them their space but the love of god says i'm here with whether you come or not i want to tell you that god wants to make himself available to you for the thing you're called to some of you you have an unction of what you're made for but when you measure yourself up to what you're born for it doesn't quite match it's because the gap between you and who god calls you to be is the power of the holy spirit i love preaching i love conferences i love messages i love worship but i want to tell you that you don't need another message messages are only there to awaken us to the reality of the power of god maybe this is a little offensive the gospel is a scandal i felt like i had been scammed my whole christian life i'm 34 years old i've been saved since i was three for 29 years i lived in a scam thinking somehow it was up to my ability to fulfill god's god's purpose in my life until the holy spirit's power apprehended me in such a way that i realized i don't have to i don't have to perform for anything for anyone i just have to surrender thank you holy spirit thank you holy spirit thank you holy spirit god thank you if the worship team wouldn't mind coming up thank you god thank you god thank you god you know it doesn't doesn't say in the word of god that we try hard and we bear much fruit it says that we abide in him and he and us it's the abiding presence of god he wants to fill you he isn't he he would never taunt you he is a good father he would never put something in front of you that he wouldn't want to give you you couldn't ask him for a fish and he'd give you a snake it just wouldn't happen some of you in this room i can i can feel disappointment i can feel like i've been disappointed and or is this too good to be true the gospel is too good to be true for a man but for god it's his plan you weren't designed to be independent in of yourself you were designed to be dependent on his presence if you lack i've got good news for you he will fill you paul doesn't say that it's in your strength that he is powerful he says it's in your weakness his power is made perfect i was thinking about that the other day how could god's power be more perfect how except he says it's more perfect in your weakness i didn't grow up valuing my weakness i grew up trying to fix my weakness i used to think i'd have to fix myself before i came to god i messed up so i better figure it out make a plan get and then oh god here's my plan i'm so sorry i'm dressed in my little self-righteous rags we try to dress ourselves up instead of letting him wash us clean you know what you know what the blood of jesus does some people think that if you i'm going there some people think that if you mess up in the area of purity that you're you're tainted for the rest of your life purity is a gift it's like getting a brand new pair of shoes see if you believe that you're full of rags you feel you you're like you've messed it up then guess what people who have dirty shoes they don't mind running in puddles but people that get given brand new white sneakers they're careful where they walk the enemy is trying to scam you in making you think that your sin makes you dirty when the blood of jesus is available to wash you clean and he will he doesn't just doesn't just wash you clean and you're a little bit blemished he makes you new he makes you new he makes you new you are new not because of what you've done but because of the price that jesus paid and it has to be enough [Music] some of you have to let yourself off the hook you've been you've been carrying around a dead man paul says throw off the old man it's not even carrying a dead man around thinking that somehow punishing yourself is going to make you clean i want to tell you it's time to throw him off let him be buried with christ and resurrect it is you who's made new [Applause] this is the power of the gospel you may not have sinned but you might feel like you're shy you might feel like you're not eloquent in speech you might feel like maybe you think because you're a girl oh you might have been abused by your parents you might have been shamed by your leaders in other churches but god is wanting to offer us something that has been available for over 2000 years you see hunger isn't crying out for something that's not available it's making ourselves aware of what he's already paid for and god right now is illuminating in your hearts that there are things available to you that you don't know are available because you think that that you have to work or earn and right now the holy spirit is wanting to come and he's just saying i don't need perfection i just need a room you know that you are called the tabernacle of christ you are called the tabernacle of the presence of jesus the holy spirit you are the resting place of god [Music] i used to think god wanted to fill a room but my heart was the room he wanted to live in [Music] i used to once say god come and fill this place when he wanted to fill this place and you know what when he fills this place the world is touched and transformed not because i tried but because i've changed not through my effort but through his power i want to tell you if you don't have faith we have a great great gift of faith through the holy spirit if you don't have hope i want to tell you jesus is the hope you don't have to have it you just need him if you don't have peace peace he's a person he's the prince of peace he is the beginning and the end and everything in between whatever you lack he has [Music] but we have to lay down the spirit of religion that says it's about what we look like and we have to offer ourselves to the one who paid it all surrender and surrender is only god i lack but in you i'm full [Music] god i'm empty but with you i overflow god i'm weak but with you i am strong god i'm shy but with you i am bold god i'm afraid but with you i'm courageous god i may not know where to go but you are my compass and i will follow you because i'm not trying to shepherd myself nor trying to form myself for i am the clay would you be the potter right now i just sense right now the spirit of adoption you see it's hard to cry out to a potter if we think he has bad intentions or we think he sits with a clipboard marking us off right wrong got it wrong again that is not god that is the devil he is the accuser of the brethren the father sits and he is well pleased as robin said he rejoices over you with singing he is the zephaniah 3 17 god that stands on the side of the soccer field cheering you on as you do your little transformer moves saying you're in the game son you're in the game son you're in the game son you're in the game [Applause] i love watching my son be a transformer on the field because he's creative and i delight in how he was made some of you you think it's about scoring goals but you're on the field and god delights in how you're made [Music] wow you don't have to be a minister to see the world change you just have to be a lover just so empty an empty vessel that's ready to be filled holy spirit come holy spirit come holy spirit come right now i just want to invite you to respond whatever feels genuine in your heart right now i just sense that there's just a genuine response that
