smart whatever god loves i love whatever god's about i'm about so it's more like god help me to love people well because i've learned this you cannot do life well if you're doing people wrong so you're gonna learn how to work with cousins anybody got a cousin that needs jesus come on drop in the chat everybody got a cousin that needs jesus but we got to learn how to work with our family and our friends and our co-workers and everybody that comes to transformation we want we need to say god help so i want to encourage you to check out the book pick it up on amazon and uh you'll be blessed by it does that sound good okay go in your bible to psalm 119 go to psalm 119 go to verse 129 and we're going to jump into the text today i'm going to get ready to preach are you ready to receive the word today just just give me the you know one of my favorite emojis and all the emojis is the guy or the girl with the hand up just if you're ready to receive the word just drop drop drop this emoji right here that's one of my when is this okay so i like that one psalm 119 verse 129 watch this it says this it says your marvelous words are living miracles no wonder i long to obey everything you say break open your word within me until revelation light shines out of me i came to convince you today that what god's gonna do in your life is gonna shine through your life he said break open your word see see i i love that right now in america things are opening back up i love in l.a we've been shut down for a long time but they're opening back up i want to tell somebody today it's not our country it's not your city that's opening back up praise god you're opening back up and you're opening back up to the god thought you're opening back up to the god plan you're opening back up to his word and to his ways to his will and to his plan anybody thankful i'm not closed anymore i'm open to what god has say break open your word within me until revelation light shines out of me those who open their hearts are given insight into your plans i opened my mouth and inhale the word of god because i crave the revelation of your commands i open my mouth and i inhale the word of god i like this anybody you grew up going to buffets you know i love a buffet we grew up when i was growing up we used to go to the golden corral y'all been to the golden crowd yeah see these these are the sanctified believers in the house today you you go to the you go to the buffet and you you get your tray you you order with your eyes your eyes are like i need this i need that i need the other you go back you eat about a half of what's on your plate but but when you inhale the buffet god is saying i want you to open your eyes and open your mouth i want it jeremiah he said when i found your word i devoured it it became to me the delight of my heart anybody want to open your life to the things of god and say yes to what he has for you today i want to preach a message today write down the title of today's message it's called things are starting to open back up things are starting to open back up and here's the reality you ever go to a store and you know google told you that they were open because that's what google told you but when you pull up the sign does not read open the sign says closed he's like hold on google told me that she'd be open see i i think god's trying to come to some people's hearts today he's trying to show up in some homes today to say see i need your heart to turn open i need your mouth and your eyes to be open so you're looking for me see stop looking for evidence of his absence you need to start looking for evidence of his presence open your eyes and open your mouth god's about to do something if i were to whisper in your ear all that god wanted to do in you and through you you wouldn't even believe it today because the bible says no eye has seen no ear has heard no mind can conceive the things that god has in store for those who love him and are called according to his purposes give him a praise right there in your house if you're grateful i'm open you see when i think when god starts opening your heart and when he starts opening your eyes one of the first things that he does is he opens you up to love god and he opens you up to love people he opens you up to be passionate about jesus and he opens you up to be passionate about others say i love this about god god wants you to be bonded here and god wants you to be bonded with others he doesn't just you ever meet just a vertical christian and let me say it this way you ever meet a creepy christian tell the truth and shame the devil you ever meet one of these people you ask a creepy crit you ask them a normal question to give you kind of a weird answer you're like fam how you doing today they're like blessed and highly favored on the lauren you're like wait hold on we gotta slow our roll here we're not just vertical we're keeping it horizontal we are loving god and we are loving people god wants you to have a bond here and a bond there the bond of the unity of the spirit here and the bond of the unity and the spirit there see there are some things coming out of colvin there's some things coming out of the last 16 months of your life there's some bonding that needs to happen and there's some breaking that needs to take place there's some breaking off of toxic relationships hello relationship goals there's some breaking off of some some habits there's some breaking off of some bad bad thinking patterns see we need to break off in some areas and we need to bond in others i bond with my parents i bond with my spouse i bond with my church i bond with the community god's assigned me to i bond with the relationships he's established in my life see what i love about god is that god's got right people right place right time i just love hearing the story of like pastor and charles because you think about pastor mike coming together with pastor charles and it's a decision to bond no no i'm gonna break off what i'm doing on my own and i'm choosing to be a part of transformation and i'm breaking this thing off because i've been called by god to bond here i wonder if there's some relationships you need to delete from your phone if there's some breaking that you need to do from your life in order to step into the bond that god has see when i open my life to god and i get radical and passionate about jesus one of the first things that happens is i start to love the lord my god with all my heart soul mind and strength i want to just encourage you it's okay to be zealous for jesus it's okay to be radical for god it's okay to love him with everything you've got it's okay to just say i'm sold out for jesus he wants you to love god and he wants you to love people he wants you to say no no i want you to understand that there are some relationships in your life that you need to bond with now listen my relationships with others are a direct reflection of my relationship with god so when i am connected here it's easy to connect there but i cannot love people until i first love god when i love god i got a shot at loving others but until i receive the love of jesus i can see that's what i love about jesus jesus is love in fact i'm gonna give you a few things to write down today write down number one jesus is love love's not what he does love is who he is love's not something he does on sundays this is just his character this is just his nature this is who jesus he is the embodiment of love now i love going to weddings anybody else i'm a pastor's kid shout out to all the pastors kids that are still in the faith we made it and my dad he used to he used to do weddings on saturdays so every saturday i got drugged to a wedding because we were getting a free lunch so my dad would go and he would you know do the he performed the ceremony he'd do the wedding and every any wedding you go to some pastor's gonna get up and they're gonna do first corinthians 13. first corinthians 13 is happening at every wedding some pastor's going to get up and say listen love is patient love is kind it does not envy it does not boast it is not rude it is not proud it is not easily angered it is not self-seeking love does not delight in evil it rejoices in the truth love always trusts always hopes always pre always protects love never fails some pastor is going to get up there and say this and some man of god is going to stand right there and he doesn't hear a word that this preacher's saying he's just like yeah come on let's go some sweet girl standing there she had no idea what she signed up for but the pastor is standing up there with first corinthians 13 love is patient love is kind it does not envy it does not boast it is not rude it is not proud it is not easily angered love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth it always hopes it always trusts it always protects love never fails this is not the standard of the husband it is the love of jesus the ultimate standard god is in love with you god is obsessed with you god does not love you based upon your behavior god loved you long before you showed up at a church long before you found a youtube channel god was in love with you when you didn't even love him in fact when you were rebellious when you turned your back god said i have sought after you i love you with an unconditional love i love you before you ever chose me i chose you and i'm the god that leaves 99 church people to go find you in the club to go find you in your brokenness to go find you in your rebellion this is not something he does this is just who he is how much does god love you god loves you so much look at isaiah oh i love this scripture look at what god says in isaiah 49 see i have engraved you on the palm of my hands god says i'm so into you that i went out and i engraved you on the palm of my hands that's why i was tripping out when people like christians shouldn't get tattoos fam god's got a tattoo and you are his tattoo he said i engraved you on the palm of my hands just so that you can recognize when you're not doing good when you're not in church when you're not reading your bible and when you're not praying i want to let you know i'm not a god that changes my mind i'm not a god that turns my back i'm not a god that gets this replaced no i love you i'm for you i'm with you i'm thankful today that the bible says neither height nor depth nor power nor principality nor angel nor demon nothing can separate you from the love somebody give them a praise today nothing can separate you from the love that's in christ jesus see the problem is is that so so many church folk so many religious people you still are convinced of he loves me he loves me not he loves me he loves me not he loves me he loves me not no he loves you even when you don't love yourself jesus says i love you even when you feel see the problem is that shame is a bully and shame has convinced you that god loves you when you love yourself no god says i love you before you ever chose me i chose you you didn't find me i found you and i have sought after you and i have loved you with an unconditional love and i'll tell you who's patient i'll tell you who's kind i'll tell you who always trusts and always hopes and always protects i'll tell you what love will never fail you it will not be the love of your spouse it will not be the love of your pastors or your parents it will be the love of god i am thankful today that there is no behavior that will disqualify you from the love of jesus somebody thank god today he loves me he loves me he loves me jesus loves me this i know for the bible tells me so for god so loved you that he gave his one and his only son that if anybody would say yes listen listen before you ever believe in jesus you already belong to jesus the god god said i knit you together when you were in your mother's womb you've been fearfully and wonderfully created by god yeah you ever watched toy story fam you you already saw i got 9753. we watch a lot of toy story we watch toy story one two three four all of them we watch the little ones we got to clip ones watch again we watch all disney plus we watch all the toy stories what did it say about andy on all of his toys he put an inscription of his toys said this is my toy god wrote on you this is my son this is my daughter you belong to me and i belong to you somebody clapping thank god you might feel ashamed today you might be disappointed today you might not feel good today you might be in a bad place today but one thing you can rest assure of god loves me so the reason why i love god because he first loved me the reason why i'm i'm listening to his word and i'm involved in church and the reason why i'm in encouraged today is because of his behavior not mine it's not that i'm amazing he's amazing and so first thing is that jesus is love and the second thing right down number two is you got to receive the work of a believer is receiving the work of a believer is receiving see your work is not mission field your work is not due goodison your work is not sowing and giving and loving and helping no that'll come but your first job as a christian is to receive you ought to wake up today and say i receive your mercy i receive your peace i receive your grace i receive your favor i receive what is grace grace is undeserved blessing and it's unmerited favor you can't make up the story of transformation nation you can't make up the story of relationship goals you can't make up the story of mike and natalie todd it is a receiving god chooses it you just receive grace you receive love you receive faith you want crazy faith receive crazy faith you want to step into god's plan receive god's plan [Applause] see i'm in baseball season right now i'm a baseball dad i got you know i'm i'm a baseball guy with my sons right now we're in

i've got future i've got blessing and you're like no i'm not good enough no i'm not from the right family no i've been messing up no i've got sin no i've got shame come on somebody thank him today he doesn't throw you deserve blessing he doesn't throw you earned grace come on somebody praise him today this is just who he is [Music] the hardest thing you'll do today is you wake up and say god i don't deserve your peace that surpasses all understanding but i receive it in this situation i don't receive i don't deserve this kind of faith that you've given me to move mountains but i declare in the name of jesus it'll happen god i don't deserve this kind of favor i don't know why i'm getting promoted and used and i don't know why i'm getting this opportunity but i receive it it is not by earn it is not my work don't you live by religious spirit no this is all grace this is all god what is transformation nation i keep walking around this place i keep walking through tulsa going look at god but we ought to also say look at the ability of the staff and your pastors to receive god i receive it i receive it god speaks to jonah jonah says i don't know i don't receive that i don't receive that i don't receive that god shows up to moses moses we're going to use you no no i don't i stutter i don't receive that no no no not me god no no god shows up at the in a boat peter's peter's turned his back on jesus three times and jesus is i made you breakfast son but he receives it he receives it i wonder if you can today say i know i'm not perfect i know i don't have all the answers but he is love and he loves me he loves me this i know he loves me and so i receive his grace i pray today that for the first time in many months you'll receive sleep and receive rest for your weary soul i pray that you receive forgiveness because you've been beaten yourself up over decisions that you've made i pray that you just right now just right in this moment you just receive the anointing of the holy spirit to step into new territory just right there in your home just put your hands like this god we just thank you for every person that's streaming in right now we thank you that we will receive gifts of the holy spirit i thank you that right now you're giving gifts of faith gift of hospitality the gift of miracles you're giving the gift of words of wisdom words of knowledge the gift of prophecy god i thank you just endow your people drench them god right now let their cups overflow we thank you right now for who you are let us receive it in jesus name could you imagine if you're like no i'm i'm not good enough like i love psalm 23 because because because of the ramifications but i like that there's some some golden corral in psalm 23. you prepare a banqueting table in the present could you imagine be like no no no no they deserve to sit here but not me that they can eat but not me who where did your inferior complex come from where did you believe that you're not good enough you've been seated at the table of the lord you don't just get to sit here you get to enjoy everything that's here you're a son and you're a daughter the last time i checked you got royalty flowing through your veins you're a chosen generation you're a royal priesthood you're a marvelous light somebody clap and thank god today i've been seated at the table of the lord [Applause] jesus said he said listen anybody that drinks of this water rivers of living water will flow out of them i'm praying that you just receive your seat at this table you just receive the grace that is in christ jesus none of us earned nobody's looking around the table being like yeah for sure they should be here you know they're good enough we're all sitting around going like can you believe that we got in here can you believe that if they only knew yeah see we deal with a culture that has an imposter syndrome but when you're a child of god you say no no no what legitimizes me to be here is the grace of jesus christ so jesus is love he's love he's love his banner over me is his love he's love this is this is just who he is he has loved me with an unconditional love he has engraved me in the palm of his hands he chose me before i chose him jesus is love and all i must do my work my work today and my work tomorrow is to receive don't be the starving baker don't be the one that gives everybody else prayer and faith and you got faith for the no no faith faith people crazy faith people say if god did it for them god could do it for me if god did it way back then god could do it right now if god did it over there he could do it right here so i receive it in jesus name so number one jesus is love number two i gotta receive and then write down number three it always starts with me but it never ends with me god god this way god always worked he starts something in me but it breaks right through me listen understand this if god can get it to you he knows he can get it through you some of you need to understand the great thing god's been speaking to you the great thing during come on this month of fun that god's going to give you rest and give you grace and give you joy the great thing he does in me is the great thing he does through me all the way back to abraham god says i'm going to bless you and you will be a blessing because it starts with me but it does not end with me so god gives me peace so i can give peace he comforts me so i can be a comfort anybody want to be used by god come on drop it in the chat right now give me the the raise the hand emoji again if you want to be used by god because it starts with me but it never ends with me because the more you love god the more you understand it's all about people it's about his people it's about his kingdom it's about his church it's about it's about the thing he wants to do in me and the thing he wants to do through me i'll never forget i was 16 years old i was at a promise keepers event shout out to promise keepers we had the best time promise keepers in seattle washington 65 000 men worshipping god so we're we're there i'm a pastor's kid 300 level on a saturday afternoon i'm on the back side of the stage they're singing to him and all this listen i'm in every prayer meeting camp meeting sunday morning sunday night youth group i've been to all of it 300 level i'm on the back we start singing to him and for the first time in my life i receive my calling i receive my future now god had been speaking to me but it's the first time i received it 16 years old i went back to my to my house and and i'm in love with jesus now i'm a jesus guy now i'm 16 i'm i'm ready i'm ready to follow god so i wait for my whole family to go to sleep at night and i wait for them to all fall asleep by 10 pm i'd break out my promise keepers new testament bible and we had a cassette tape of worship y'all young people google cassette tapes google it cassette tapes i had a cassette worship tape i would kneel by my bedside with my worship music and the bible and i start to just read i didn't even know what it meant i don't even know what i was just circling the oh the that's good the yeah good one god and god god starts speaking to me god starts raising me god i go to my friends at my high school i said guys we i feel like god wants to do something in our school it's like 2 500 kids in my school i said let's start let's just start praying every day at lunch i said we'll eat for 15 minutes and then we'll pray for 15 minutes are you in i have two guys are you in is it yeah so i go to my guys come on let's go 15 minutes in let's go pray we go to a classroom two of us three of us we're praying then then after about a week i'm like to some of our other friends you want to come pray with us too now we got like five guys now we've got two weeks in there's like 10 of us we we're eating for 15 minutes and then we're going to this classroom and they're praying for our school we're praying for our teachers we're praying for our principal and then about a month in there's about 20 of us we're going to this school to this classroom we're praying we're praying about two months in now now we've got to move out the classroom because now we're in a choir there's about 40 of us 50 of us now a few months in now we got to move out the choir we're going to the gym now we're going to a gym about about three months into this whole thing i would stand up in the middle of my lunch room 15 minutes in and i would just go like this and hundreds of kids would leave the lunchroom we'd go to the gym people were getting freed people again people are getting saved at school god's starting to break out in a public high school because god always does something in me but it starts with me it never ends with me i wonder if you understand yet that god has something so much bigger for your life than just existing i wonder if you understand yet you are made by greatness for greatness that the whole thing god wants you to be bonded here and bonded to your destiny stop delaying your destiny stop messing around with god's plan god has something that is so greater so much bigger so much better and he does something in me [Music] because he's about to do something through me i look at pastor mike's life and i just see all that god was doing in him raising him developing him training him shaping him oh it reminds me of david it says in psalm 78 and he chose david his servant and he took him from the sheepfolds from the backside of the desert when he was taking care of lambs there was no podcast there were no lights there was no body and he says and he chose david his servant and he brought him from sheep all the way to shepherd jacob his own inheritance israel so in one day come on god has a fast forward button he can use it whenever he wants he brought him from sheep to millions it says when david got here he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart and the skillfulness of his hands see i want to tell somebody today god is preparing you for the amazing thing that he's doing in you and through you it's not just that the world is opening up you are opening back up and you're opening up to something that's like whoa i know this business idea is crazy but i feel like it's god i know this book i've never written a book before but i feel like it's god i know i've never started a bible study but i feel like i'm supposed to start a bible study i know i've never had meaningful conversations and meaningful relationships but i feel like i'm supposed to be your friend it always starts with me but it never ends with me i wonder today if there's some people that are just going god's god's been waking me up god's been messing with me god's been doing something i talked to somebody the other day and this guy was preaching he's preaching about god waking him up in the middle of the night this preacher is telling the story about 4am he's been waking up to meet with god 4 a.m god's doing something big so he's waking up at 4 a.m and there's one pastor i know he told the lord he said you want to wake me up at 4 a.m that's on you you start praying prayers like that to god god will mess with you that very night that he said that 4 a.m he's in a hotel the fire alarm goes off at 4 a.m because god was saying i want to do something in you because i'm about to do something through you and it's not for your glory it's for my renown and i'm going to love you so unconditionally i'm going to love you so overwhelmingly that you will not be quiet about the amazing work i'm doing in your life anybody grateful that god never stops working the day shift the night shift or the midnight shift give them a praise today if you're grateful for the grace of jesus last thing write down number four i love this this is just the reality of today you can you got a decision you can blame or bond you can build or break you choose you can blame or you can bond you can build or you can break but you choose i love this about god we don't serve the god of goosebumps we serve the god of wisdom we serve the god of decisions all throughout the scriptures god says make your vows before the lord but keep them i love in the old testament god's like all right guys this i'm just going to make this practical god is very practical god says okay i've set before you life and death blessing and cursing he just goes choose wisely so you've got a decision to make in your life are you going to build or are you going to blame are you going to bond with people or are you going to break relationships no i'm not going to live my life filled with all kinds of fallout and all kinds of disappointment and all kinds of heartbreak i don't want to end my life going i wish i would have oh i should have all that would have been awesome i want to live my life every day saying god i receive your grace so i can build my legacy so i can build my family so i can build the church that you planted me in so i can help the city that you called me to be a light in anybody thankful today that i've got the choice i've got the decision it's not up to them stop blaming people for where you're at stop giving people control over the narrative of your life i love joseph when his brothers show up if you don't know the story of joseph in the bible his brothers had betrayed him he went through all these p's he went through pits and potiphar's house and pharaohs and prisons and and when his brothers reveal himself when they reveal themselves joseph says fam you're good you're good you did not do this to me god did this to me this is the unique way god chose to raise me can you stop tolerating the way god chose to raise you and start celebrating the way god chose to raise you your unique path that god in all of his sovereignty said if i have to i'll put you in a pit for a while and then i'll put you in a potiphar's and then a prison and i'll put you in with pharaoh and you might be going i'm bigger than this i'm better than this there's something greater than that something bigger is in my heart be patient on the lord you make the choice i'll refuse to blame i re i refuse to break i'm gonna i'm gonna build and i'm gonna bond and i'm gonna be who god has called me to be for the glory of his renown stop blaming people stop breaking people some people that were supposed to be with you right now you bro you sabotage that relationship you need to go and make right you need to ask for their forgiveness because they are attached to your destiny your alignment will determine your assignment who you align yourself with will determine the trajectory of your life could you imagine that pastor charles is like no i'm not joined transformation i'm building my own thing he would never be where he is right now but he had the humility to say i re i'm going to bond i'm going to build and i'm going to be who god has called me to be see we don't know if you're a christian because you got a bumper sticker on your car we we don't know if you're christian because you listen to jaira jesus said you will be known for your love look look at this first john chapter three oh i love this scripture dear children let's not merely say that we love each other let us show the truth by our actions let us show the truth by our deeds let us show that listen talk is cheap and your actions speak louder than your god is looking for a church that doesn't just have their hands raised we have our hands out we say we're willing to be his feet we are willing to be his hands we are willing to be representatives and whatever whatever city god has placed you in whatever city listen the big time is not where you're going the big time is where you're at and you want to treat the season that you're in saying like you know what i wouldn't want to be anywhere else god bless their life god bless all the things they're doing but i'm thankful for my grace i'm thankful for my family i'm thankful for my future i'm thankful for what god's doing in me he started a great work listen he who has begun a good work in you will be faithful to complete it anybody grateful that god is just getting started he's just getting started he's just starting a great work in your life some of you have forfeited the great thing that god wanted to do in and through your life because you quit too early and god is saying no no no no i got fresh mercy things are starting to open back up and if you'll just be open i'm the god of new beginnings see moses said to god i started but god kept working with him jonah's like nah i'm not doing that but god just he kept working with him you know so many times peter peter messed up three times god's like i'm gonna keep working you ever noticed that god just keeps on talking to you keeps whispering in your ear keeps showing up with grace and favor saying no no i'm not done yet i'm not finished faithful is he who has called you you didn't call your name god called god's got something for you i'm trying to convince somebody that's like i'm not good i'm messed up i'm morally i compromise spiritually i'm bankrupt emotionally i'm out of control physically i mean you don't even want to know covered 19 represents a few things for me i'm just i'm not in a good place so many people like you know what pastor chad kova's hard i was i was isolated like fam we were all isolated but you don't got to stay there you're not going to stay broken you don't got to stay that way you've got access to the throne room you've got access to the king of kings and right now it's not that you're praying to god jesus is praying for you so you need to bond you need to build you need to be open oh i open my mouth to inhale your word i open my eyes to see the marvelous thing let your word break in me so we can break out of me what is god about to do listen if i was you i'd be sitting on my couch smiling like the proverbs 31 woman the bible says the proverbs 31 woman she looks to the future and she smiles why she knows if god is for me who can be against me somebody prays praise god right now right in your house somebody thank jesus that he is a god that can make a way he makes rivers in the desert he makes roads in the wilderness he makes a way where there seems to be no way somebody praise him right now god's about to break out in you so we can break something through you stop listening to yourself and start talking to yourself some of you keep listening i'm not good enough i've been this i've been stop start talking to yourself david said why are you so downcast on my soul why are you so dead put your hope in god you keep listening to yourself are you going to keep going down the road of wilderness but if you talk to yourself you encourage yourself in the lord you got decisions to make i would love i would love it i would love it i would love it if you don't if you didn't have to make a decision but the reality is you do it's what i love about going to a restaurant with my wife i have no decision to make the waitress comes by sir what would you like as if i had a choice talk to her she will tell you what i'm having some of you need to understand keyboard player you can start playing again because there's something you need to understand that you literally need to understand god's grace for your life you have decisions to make god is not a god of force god is not a god of manipulation he's a god of wooing he's a god of beckoning paul says i beseech you therefore brethren in view of god's mercy that you present your lives a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to god this is your reasonable act of worship worship is not a melody worship is a lifestyle jesus says i don't want your melody in your song i want your life i want you you got a decision to make yes what will you choose today if it wasn't for covid it wasn't for them and my parents and my family and my my ex and the divorce and my kids and it's their fault it's their bad and so i'm going to break up they didn't invite me they didn't help me no one was there for me in colvin my church didn't reach out to me okay fine you want to blame or do you want to bond do you want to build or do you want to break but you have to choose you cannot stay in this place any longer god is calling you into future he is saying forgetting those things which are behind me i am pressing on to the things that are in front of me brothers and sisters i just one thing i know i have not apprehended all of it but one thing i do is i'm pressing towards the goal of the prize in christ jesus oh i wish somebody would get arrested by the holy spirit today i wish somebody would get like jesus jesus when he come back from the presence of god he said don't worry about it we got to keep going for this purpose i've come see god wants to restore into you purpose in his presence but the enemy intended for harm the lord himself can turn around and use for the good yeah i know i know it might be funny and i know i'm listen i'm half hispanic so i came out the womb loud okay so if i'm young it's because i'm latin shout out to all the latins in transformation nation see that's what i'm talking about i'm yelling because i get excited because i know the devil will soon be crushed under your foot because my bible says that those that run into the name of the lord it's a strong tower my my bible says he who abides under the shelter of the almighty will rest under the shadow of his wing some of you been exposed wandering hurting depressed filled with pain and animosity life's been cruel to you if you think about it life's been cruel to all of us but you know who's been good god god did not promise a safe journey he only promised a safe arrival and yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for your rod and your staff they come for me i'm praying over somebody today you've got a decision to make because you've been living a deviant life you've been living a duplistic life you've been living a life that doesn't please god and today you got to make a decision you got to make a decision but i'm believing right now that as jesus said to peter we're praying for you all of transformation nation we're praying for you and we believe in you just like god does we believe that god
