Todd White - Glorify the One Who Gave You Life

well i have a lot of things on my heart have you ever read malachi oh my gosh it's petrifying i'm serious we should read it so we can all see if we're there why not let's do it that'll be great like oh no i don't think i've ever finished the old testament chris said i i just finished the old testament i know what he means today was the day when he got through malachi and he's into matthew it's going but you can never get finished with it and i know that's not what he meant he's not done with it all right i did it it's over yay read the bible in a year no because once it gets in you it starts to read you then all of a sudden the holy spirit will provoke your heart to go back oh my gosh that's crazy it's awesome all right it says in verse 1 of malachi chapter 3 behold i am sending i am going to send my messenger and he will clear the way before me and the lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight behold he is coming says the lord of hosts here watch this is amazing who can endure the day of his coming who can stand when he appears for he is a refiner's fire i don't know if we know jesus like that but you're about to and like a fuller soap he will sit as a smelter and a purifier of silver he will purify the sons of levi and refine them like gold and silver so that they may present to the lord offerings in righteousness oh my gosh let me just read on this is amazing then the offering of judah and jerusalem will be pleasing to the lord as in the days of the old and as in former years then i will draw near to you for judgment you guys good all right and that will be a swift witness against the sorcerers against the adulterers against those who swear falsely and against those who appear who oppressed the wage earner in his wages the widow and the orphan and those who turn aside the alien and do not fear me says the lord of hosts for i the lord do not change you know what that means he's the same today i mean right now like i know jesus came but the fear of the lord didn't go away all right this is exciting gets better says the lord of hosts for i the lord do not change therefore you o sons of jacob are not consumed for the days of your fathers have turned aside from my step the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them return to me and i will return to you what does it say in james draw near to god and he will draw near to you says the lord of hosts but you say how shall we return and then we talk about the tithe but he's not talking about just the tithe he's talking about your life do you know that you can give god your heart and hold back your life you can say i gave jesus my heart 20 years ago but held back your life for 20 years do you understand that that's not okay with the lord we are entering into a season of amazing flesh will not survive cove had tried to take people out physically but the devil wants to take you out completely and the only way to make it sounds like oh my gosh first message of the new year come on dude it's called surrender the only way to do this is absolutely everything to the center of the table anything that you hold back becomes a target for the enemy you can be 90 submitted and 10 not ready and your 10 becomes 15 15 20 25 30 and all of a sudden you're a 50 50 christian that straddles a fence that belongs to hell itself you got one leg in and one leg out but the truth is both legs are out because the devil owns the fence buddy when the fence disappears so do you all right will a man rob god yet you are robbing me but you say how have we robbed you in tithes and offerings you are cursed with a curse you are robbing me the whole nation of you bring the whole tithe into the storehouse so that you may have food so that there may be food in my house test me and know this says the lord of hosts if i will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out you a blessing until it overflows do you know how many people i've talked to that said that they've tithed and tested god and nothing happened because the timetable that you gave god was actually you giving so that you could gain instead of being cheerful about giving god cannot bless a selfish giver he'll bless he'll bless the world before he blesses a selfish bride gosh this is prosperity man i'm serious god loves a cheerful giver he doesn't love a manipulated giver a maneuvered giver he doesn't love that nor the person that maneuvered to get it god loves a person that's completely sold out in their heart because their money doesn't belong to them it belongs to the lord he owns the cattle on a thousand hills he doesn't need your cattle he owns it i know it's crazy people like why are we talking about this because your whole life belongs to god like if people say you know what god one day he's gonna do this and then i'm going to give why would god give you more when you can't give what you already have i'm not saying i'm not taking an offering okay so don't get your hopes up as a man sows so shall he reap he's not just talking about your money he's talking about your life if you sow your life you'll reap his gosh this is so exciting see when we come we come all or we come none you count the cost people like well no i i mean i i tithe i do this i do that i do this you know he wants your life man he doesn't just want your paycheck he doesn't need your paycheck he needs your full commitment your whole heart in this thing he needs your 100 complete obedience with no disobedience included he needs complete all he requires is obedience he doesn't need anything else because if you obey he has all of you i would hate to get to heaven and have no crowns to throw at his feet i want to leave a legacy matt what does it look like for somebody to be sold out to have no compromise to just say yes and have your yes be yes and your no be no anything else is of the devil let your yes be yes and your no be no say yes to jesus or say no but pick one choose this day whom you're going to serve i read it in joshua today so powerful as for me and my house we will serve the lord you are a house you are a temple so you choose whether in your house you're going to serve him or you're going to serve you still don't compromise this thing don't water it down don't make it something gosh he paid such a high price for you if we see that we give everything because we don't belong to ourselves anymore you were purchased not with silver or gold but with the blood of jesus you were purchased with a great price because you were worth the purchase he has an inheritance that are in that's in you he the lord has an inheritance that is in the saints it's in ephesians he has an inheritance in you and he only gets glory when you give away he says see if i don't open the windows of heaven and pour out for you blessing until it overflows how many of you would like to be blessed so much that it overflows god doesn't want to bless you just for you and he doesn't want you having he doesn't want things having you he doesn't mind you having things things aren't the issue whatever separates you and takes you away from love that's too much for some it's five dollars for some it's a hundred for some it's a thousand for some it's a million for some it's 10 million whatever takes you away from the love of god and the focus of jesus being your everything because if jesus isn't your everything you're an adulterer say what you want think what you want it's true adultery doesn't have to be just cheating on your wife adultery is cheating on the bridegroom wow i love jesus so much when i stand before him he's going to say well done he's not going to look at me and say look what you've done he's going to say well done enter in well done i don't care about a mansion i don't care about any of that stuff it's awesome all i want to do is live my life completely abandoned to self and completely burning for him he gave it all so that we could give it all but what we have is nothing compared to what he did all the nations will call you blessed well first he says i will rebuke the devourer for you so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground what chris read nor the vine the field cast its grapes says the lord of hosts all the nations will call you blessed for you shall be a delightful land says the lord of hosts your words have been arrogant against me says the lord yet you say what have we spoken against you you have said it is in it is vain to serve god and what prophet is it that we have kept his charge and that we have walked in mourning before the lord of hosts so now we call the arrogant blessed not only are the doers of wickedness built up but that they also test god and escape listen to this part this is super exciting then those that feared the lord spoke to one another and the lord gave attention and heard it the lord does not hear you unless you fear him you want the lord to hear you fear him reverence him put him in awe in a place of all this is like going over really rough right now i don't care i'm done i am i am so finished needing people to say amen i'm done done i want people to go oh my god what is that on the day of pentecost what happened all of them were looking at these men these men are drunk what is going on big wind rushing wind what's happening all are drawn to the same place and the one that denied jesus preached and said you killed him and they went and they were cut to the heart their hearts were cut what do we do that's what i want i want to preach the gospel so that people have one of two choices walk away or run amen god's not look a disciple is not one that walks carelessly it's not this is not the happiest this isn't like this is not comfortable this is very very uncomfortable that's because we need intimacy with the comforter to survive if the comforter doesn't show up we're all done that's the way christianity was supposed to be from the beginning that if the holy ghost doesn't show up we can't have church if the holy ghost doesn't show up we can't have work if the holy ghost doesn't show up we can't go to school if the holy ghost doesn't show up we can't shop if the holy ghost doesn't show up we can't go to the drugstore if the holy ghost doesn't show up i can't pump gas if the holy ghost doesn't show up i can't be married if the holy ghost doesn't show up i can't have kids if the holy ghost doesn't show up i can't truly live that's what we need how do we make america great again holy ghost period period regardless regardless of who runs the country jesus runs this country right here those that feared the lord spoke to one another and the lord gave attention and heard it and a book of remembrance was written before him for those who fear the lord and who esteem his name they will be mine the lord said are you in or are you teetering this is not the time to teeter man it's not the time to teeter they will be mine says the lord of hosts and on the day that i prepare my own possession i will spare them as a mayor as a man spares his own son who serves him so you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked between the one who serves god and the one that does not serve him he doesn't give the one that kind of serves god the one that wanted to serve god but didn't he doesn't give that he says the one that does and the one that does not there is a clear distinction you're either for or against you gather or scatter there is no in between you either sell out everything and give everything to god or you hold back and suffer when you sell out and suffer it's amazing because you're suffering for the glory of god but when you hold back and suffer because you know you should sell out but you fear selling out you suffer in a different way you go through hell in this life hoping that you might make it in this isn't barely get a long street you're either in or you're not i can't go to luke 14 for me please we're going to go after him with everything nothing held back as for me and my house will serve the lord this is a strong man's gospel a strong do you know the devil is petrified of them that know god but he is trying to petrify those that do not and the pinpoint is your life that you hold back surrender is of the utmost importance in this thing no matter what you do see you this this is so clear there's no there's no gray area in this thing we have muddied it and grayed it out we have made places that that bring many people of comfort to sit and do nothing with the gospel and come back the next week to get entertained again that's not ever supposed to be and i'm not telling you it's anybody individually i'm saying there are many seeker friendly places where people go seek to make friends it's a social gathering there are many social gatherings that are there you can go to the mall and have one you shouldn't be able to go to church and have one and by saying we're not supposed to be family absolutely not but a sold out family does different stuff they feed they clothe they heal they live in purity they go and visit prisons they take care of widows they take care of orphans it's just different it's not just about singles night you but i need a wife seek the lord and he'll provide one for you don't seek her because you're not going to get her that way yeah but i'm going to find somebody god has somebody special for me don't seek him for what you can get from him seek him for giving him everything that you are so that he can fill you with him come on guys let's go after him wholeheartedly let's not bow to the gods of baal we can't afford to serve other gods now man this isn't a religion it's a relationship where the uncreated god that created you wants to live inside of his creation it's completely different than anything anywhere the god of the universe you don't have to be rich you don't have to be poor you don't have to be smart you don't have to be silly with your brain all you have to be is surrendered god's not looking for the best he's looking for the least of these the only qualification is how sold out are you willing to be how surrendered are you willing to be surrender doesn't mean don't read this word surrendered means that this is what you live by this bible is what you live by we can't walk by feelings we walk by faith the just shall live by faith what are the just who is the just the justified justified by what justif just as if i never sinned that's what the cross does the cross we we failed to believe that so many times in so many situations i was talking to friends about righteousness this week and how powerful it is because once it opens up to you there is no other option there is no plan b and god just clearly defined the righteous and the wicked because of what jesus did you have become the righteousness of god in christ i ask the question often how many of you have been free from your past for the last week how many of you have been free from your past the last two weeks how many of you have been free from your past for the last three weeks i've been free from it for 16 years it's amazing i am not supposed to be the only one and i'm not supposed to be a select few my problem preaching the gospel my problem is that many people are on pacifiers because they will not feed themselves so i want to teach the miraculous i want to teach people how do you hear god's voice how do you pray for the sick how do you prophesy i want to but there is this urgency inside of my heart to get people from a pacifier to milk my job is to get you from a pacifier pull that thing out of your mouth and get you to eat strong meat but we can't eat strong meat until we can drink the pure milk of the word and you're not supposed to just come on sunday to get fed you will starve by sunday night later we are supposed to eat and regurgitate the word that we have and chew it like a cow would chew a cud and meditate upon that thing meditation in in different things is emptying your mind first of all you can't ever really empty it because something always comes it might as well be the word we are supposed to meditate upon god's word day and night so when i read in the morning at night it's still filtering through oh my gosh and the more you get in you all of a sudden it just keeps coming up and then it puzzles together and it starts to build strength inside of your heart and the start of your life and all of a sudden you start to believe that with everything in you and when someone asks you a question you don't give them your opinion you give them the truth spoken in love and it changes their situation but it is supposed to cause people to hunger and thirst for righteousness so that we can be filled not just filled once but overflowing on a consistent basis to where your cup runneth over constantly bubbling over with joy that comes from being right with him it's so powerful i was reading in luke today i was actually crying in my prayer closet um i'm fascinated that god would expect me to be obedient and that's it that's really it that's the answer i surrender i allow this word to be the highest priority in my life not just reading it with this but letting this read this in the holy spirit making this alive sharp and active that it would change the way that seems right to a man and replace it with the way that is right to god taking out the pacifier and going into milk desiring this the the pure milk of the word that we may grow thereby so when we desire the word not just doing a devotion it's this doesn't count well lord okay what do you want me to read today all right okay 15 minutes later all right come on gotta go gotta go all right lord be with me that doesn't count yeah but at least i'm doing something no you're teasing yourself it would be better for you to take one scripture one put it on an index card read that thing in the morning get on your knees by yourself for the 15 minutes that you're there and say god i have no idea who you've created me to be and i will never know unless you reveal to me who you say i am god i'm asking you to take this scripture and make it alive to me and change the way that i see myself so that i can change the way that i see the world if you would dare do that he would start chipping away and chipping away and chipping away until you are completely addicted to him he would chip away at every idol in your life he would completely chip away he would start taking down idols and strongholds in your life man and instead of calling people to pray for you you would actually call upon him who never sleeps call upon me the lord says and i will answer you and show you great and mighty things things that you do not know there are so many things that i do not know and you can't give it to me jeremiah 33 3 god's phone number call upon me and i will answer you and show you great and mighty things things that you do not know call upon me and i will show you he didn't even say teach you he said show you do you know that i am not to study and preach myself approved i am to study and show myself approved study and show study and show my life is the representation of what i believe my life lived everything that you do whatever you do whether in word or indeed you do it as unto the lord period period it would be sad to try to live my life for the lord and not know the lord you can't know him apart from his truth because it's his truth that verifies who he is and then when you see who he is you find out who you are because you were created in the image of god how can you imitate a god that you don't know you will imitate the world you guys okay this sounds like a heavy message but it's really not i mean malachi was heavy but and it still is heavy because it doesn't go away not one jot not one tittle not one law not nothing we'll go away the lord is the same yesterday today and forever that book of remembrance of those that fear the lord it's real i want to be in that book i want to fear him i want to have awestruck reverence of him did you hear worship tonight that was love oh jesus i'd help you i'm just gonna get to touch your face and see your face forever and we sing that for an hour touch your face see your face forever people are like okay come on sing something else no it's just one look everything changes just one look when you see him when you see him for who he truly is in charge come on don't let other things be the narrator of your life you're not to be a puppet that the world has his hand in you're to be a glove the lord puts on like gideon the lord put on gideon like a glove that's the hand you want to be on you want to have the hand of the lord inside of you using you flowing through you crushing hell through you you want to be able to do things that nobody could do without him that when people see your good works they don't glorify you so many people do good work so they can get a name for themselves gosh you've earned your reward you want to do works that are so amazing they have to glorify your father in heaven because there's no possible way that a man can do that a woman can do that there's no way it's not humanly possible and when you have a vision and you have faith that god says do you don't go well how you go i'm in what's next i'm not kidding when god says do it you go all right what next what do we do okay where do i go it's called yielded it's faith it is a very big problem to people that don't have it people that have faith are a huge violation to people that do not people that believe are a huge problem to people that do not believe unbelief has to do everything it can to get belief out of the room to feel comfortable about not believing it's called christianity the pharisees hated jesus who was the word they studied it and thought they knew it and in that they had eternal life but they weren't willing to come to him to have life because they thought that what they read was better than the one that they were reading oh god this is such a dangerous place lack of dependency creates a lack of urgency a lack of fully depending upon god makes you fully depend upon self and fully depend upon self makes you build a kingdom that looks just like you we can't afford to be a people that are fully dependent on ourselves we must be a people that are co-dependent and co-labor with the lord okay let's look at just a couple of aspects of discipleship luke 14 verse 25 large crowds were going along with him he turned and said to them if anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters yes and even his own life he cannot be my disciple that's not flavorful that's not wow bring the crowds bro come on hey guys guess what got good news you better hate your mother and your brother and your father and your sister and your wife and your kids and yourself or you can't come with me we can't roll he didn't make it like nicey nice do you understand like this is jesus unless you hate unless you hate your own father and your mother and your wife and your children and your brothers and your sisters yes and his own life he cannot be my disciple whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple then he says which of you when he wants to build a tower doesn't first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it otherwise when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish all who observe it begin to ridicule him saying this man began to build and was not able to finish or what king when he sets out to meet another king in battle does not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand or else while the other is still far away he sends a delegation of peace our delegation and asks for terms of peace so then none of you can be my disciple who does not give up all of his own possessions that does not sound like fun church stuff are you with me oh gosh we could talk about something nicer but i figured discipleship is a good place to start the word hate is actually defined here it says by comparison of his love for me so if anyone comes to me and does not love me most whoever comes to me must love me more than his father must love me more than his mother must love me more than his wife must love me more than his children must love me more than his brothers and sisters yes and his own life why because what you love most becomes a target when you target jesus it's okay talking about sold out man why would you go into this new year and hold on to you again you didn't fare well last year by doing it gosh life is not worth living if you don't give it up what does it mean to leave a legacy the book that i wrote that's coming out on january 23rd my wife said i said the 28th it's the 23rd we're going to do a book launch here i'm going to sign books it says leave a legacy life is short leave a legacy why why do i want to leave a legacy of what one person can do with a life that's fully surrendered that believes god with everything that trusts god with everything that goes after heaven with everything in them all god is asking us to do is to give up what we were never created to be in the first place so we can finally have who he created in his image he's asking us to give us what we were never created to be so we can finally step into who he's called us to really be that's not much i mean what's the trade there if you lived your life fully for you and you filled your vats and your barns and and man you gathered so much stuff and and man you just were like the top dog you were bill gates or whatever you had everything what happens when you go none of it goes with you none of it rolls with you i read the story of lazarus and the rich lazarus and the rich man today oh my god lazarus and the rich man lazarus was this poor man that sat there and the dogs licked his wounds and he sat there and he suffered through this life and he had nothing and lazarus died then the rich man died and lazarus was in abraham's bosom and the rich man wasn't in the bosom he was in a place where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth the rich man that had everything in life everything he was catered to everybody served him he was the one in charge he was the man he was in hell and he said tell abraham to just dip his finger in the water and give me just a fingertip lazarus just please just help there's too far of a chasm in between sorry you had everything when you were there he said well we'll send somebody from the dead just raise them and go send them to my family let them know this place is real i don't want them to come here go warn them they said they have the prophets to listen to you moses to listen to even if somebody was raised from the dead they still wouldn't listen guys this is real you got one shot man you want to reach your family try living you want to reach your relatives try surrendering you want to reach your kids try repenting try just kids i live my life for me and i'm sorry i really messed up please forgive me you did that i can't believe you did that you're right i was a failure but today i've given my life to jesus i'm not going to play church anymore your kids might not even listen to you but that one second that you did that your heart becomes free of all the hypocrisy and the bondage that you lived your whole life this is a huge deal why start this year with you why not surrender and give your whole life back to the one that paid the price to redeem it why not give him everything that you are so you can finally become who he says you are why not it's not too late no i've done too much i've i've i've just i've just gone too far you're wrong people are like why i blaspheme the holy spirit if you care about it you didn't if you care about it you didn't you couldn't you're not too far gone there is hope for you jesus died for you jesus gave his life for you why so that you could give your life for others greater love has no man than this then he would lay his life down for his friend love him with everything in you don't start this new new year out with you this isn't a new year's resolution those new year resolutions are done by february i tried it man maybe next year maybe next monday no this is all or none can i get the worship team can you guys come and help me cause i'm about ready to freak out i just i can't glory please you know athletes they give it all serious athletes give it all they don't hold anything back they go after it these pros olympic athletes it's everything man all they're given everything all in the olympics you train for eight years top training 12 hours a day going after it eating perfect training perfect trying to get better than you did the last time every time every time all for 30 seconds that's what christian life is supposed to be this life that you live in right now is a dressing room for eternity it is all you are right now is preparing that's it your life could be required of you tonight what if right now what if this was your last day what if tomorrow didn't come what if you met jesus tonight all of us are going to stand before the judgment seat of christ all of us none of us will escape none i don't care who you are i don't care what you think you're going to do people like no i pass judgment man you're wrong we are saved by grace justified by faith we have peace with god but the peace that you have is a violation to those that don't and because of their violation many compromise their lives and not live christ to the fullest because we don't want to make other people feel uncomfortable i promise you this the uncomfortability on the day when you're standing before the lord and you're looking back at your life that you could have lived full on but you held back for the sake of not making others uncomfortable is going to be way more uncomfortable i promise or looking in a line that's over here the goat line and the sheep line let's say you're in the sheep line and you're going to stand before the judgment seat of christ but you see your neighbor that you didn't want to make uncomfortable or your relative that you failed to share jesus with or people at your work that you didn't want to witness in front of because they beat you up the one time they just yelled at you or shouted at you i don't want to hear it shut up so you got upset you didn't want to say anything and then you have your friend your neighbor your colleague your worker your family member and another line looking at you saying i can't believe you why didn't you tell why didn't you press in why don't you tell me i've got to be separated for eternity you could have shared with me did you just care about yourself that's real i don't care who you are everyone's life this isn't just for evangelists this isn't just for pastors this isn't just for apostles or preachers or prophets or teachers this is for every person in the body of christ you are your own witness [Music] you are are you living your life for you because if you're living for you it's a failure man it's a zero a zero well no you're the preacher you preach to them wrong people are like no you need to come to my church you are the church you are the church [Music] we are the body of christ the fullness of him that fills all in all we are the church we are this wasn't just for the preacher to share this is for everybody to become a living witness and everywhere they go they talk about jesus they live jesus they sleep jesus they eat jesus they breathe jesus we've made it all about the preacher man my job is to get you from a pacifier to meet my job is to provoke you with a godly jealousy my job is to apply a prod to you is to put a holy ghost defibrillator on your heart bam that would cause you to wake up to stop sleeping people are going to hell your neighbor could be going to hell the person across the gas pump could be going to hell and their life will be required you got one shot at this life man one shot why not use every second to glorify the one that gave you life what are you waiting for what are we waiting for god to shout at you he already spoke to you god in past days spoke to the fathers by the prophets but in these last days god has spoken to us by his son god spoke loud and clear through jesus if you didn't hear it then hear it now wake up before it's too late don't hold your life back it doesn't belong to you anymore you've been purchased by blood if you're not a christian why not jump in fully well because i don't like hypocrites good don't be one why would you use that excuse well i got hurt by people okay a person hurt you you want to let that separate you from giving jesus crowns gosh why don't you really get the devil back and step on his neck [Applause] [Music] why would you hold back it's not a joke man demons tremble at the mention of his name but if you don't know jesus and you mention his name they just keep on cruising we can't afford to use the lord's name in vain there's power in the name of jesus power that name becomes all-powerful when he becomes your lord and not just your savior your savior is true he died on the cross to save you from your sin but if he saved you from your sin why would you live in it anymore [Music] he paid a price to not just forgive your sin but save you from your sin to where sin would no longer be your master jesus would be your master i'm going to read this to you real quick i shut it already oh my heart is burning inside me i love him man i love him regardless of how many people hate me i love him regardless of all the people that lie about me i love him no matter what people write about me it doesn't matter i love him i know that i'm right with god i will be persecuted it's a promise if you're gonna proclaim that you are right with god religion will hate you to no end if you're gonna proclaim that you are right with god calvinists will want you dead but they will all stand before the lord and answer for their life i won't answer for their life and you won't have your spouse answering for yours when you stand before the lord either you won't be able to say ask my wife i'm a good person sorry buddy your wife won't be able to say anything for you everybody will answer for their own life you can say what you want no my husband's a good person that's all well and good but you won't be able to say it when you stand before the lord man wouldn't it be amazing to have the confidence now that if you met jesus today he would say well done don't you want to hear that don't you care about that i'm talking about eternity with a well done i'm talking about forever well done forever what if you woke up tomorrow knowing that god was hey you're doing a great job come on you can do this you share your faith then you might get beat up for it it might feel weird when you did it but you know that you carry not just some truth not just a couple truths not just a little bit of truth you carry the truth you telling somebody that jesus loves them you are prophetically 100 correct people like no that's not true they got to do something to earn it now you're stuck in religion you can't earn it you can't god romans 6 verse 12 therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so you may abandon lusts and do not go on presenting me yourself and your members of your body in sin as instruments of unrighteousness but present yourselves to god as those that are alive from the dead and your members as instruments of righteousness of god of the righteousness of god for sin shall not be a master over you for you are not under the law but you're under grace what then shall we sin because we're not under the law but under grace may it never be exclamation point do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience you are slaves of the one whom you obey either of sin resulting in death or of obedience resulting in righteousness but thanks be to god that though you were a slave to sin now you have become now you have become obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed and having been freed from sin you have become a slave of righteousness being a slave of righteousness kills being slave to sin jesus says whom the son sets free is free indeed you can walk in freedom you can walk right with god and when you're right with god you are wrong with sin and sin is wrong with you it is sin to be quiet about the gospel say what you want it is sin to be silent about jesus it is sin to be silent about jesus people don't like this i don't really like this now i don't like to be pressured pressured pressured you're a pressure cooker for explosion of anger i don't like to be pressure yet when you get upset you don't mind having a charismatic worship service for the wrong god [Music] someone cuts you off you give them a piece of your mind instead of his done with that life dude done with it i will not be maneuvered i will not be manipulated by anger by rage i will not be maneuvered by bitterness i will not be moved by unforgiveness i will live in a place of forgiveness i will represent properly jesus christ i will not live in a place of compromise i will burn and i will let the whole world watch me burn so that i can start a fire and i want god to set a fire in my soul i want him to mark me i want to bear in my body the marks of the gospel i will not bear in my body sin i will not i will not compromise god is looking for warriors he is not looking for people that negotiate with the devil count the costs count the costs there's only one who is worthy and he's worthy for every breath that's in your lungs for every drop of sweat that you sweat for every drop of blood that's in your body there's only one who's worthy if you if you know that you have lived in a place of compromise and you can't live that way anymore i want you to run to the front i want you to give yourself completely to this amazing god this amazing king do not play games let's get this thing on with jesus let's burn for the glory of the one that gave it all [Applause] life is short leave a legacy let everyone know who you serve let the world around you know what you burn for you let your neighbors know that you worship jesus you let the store clerks know that you worship jesus you let your family know that you've surrendered to jesus you repent to your kids because you've lived a life less than the gospel you repent to your family that you've lived less than what god's called you to get clean get free don't play with this thing jesus gave it all so you can give it all [Music] god wants everything he doesn't want some of you he wants all of you he wants you fully committed fully surrendered he wants you burning he wants you to be a light he wants you to have oil in your lamp he doesn't want you to burn out he wants you to burn up he wants you to represent him he wants you to represent his name that the name of jesus will be lifted high that people would fear him and reverence him that they would see your life and be challenged by your life but you would compromise the gospel for the sake of making people feel comfortable that you would give everything to him everything everything that you wouldn't hold back anymore that you'd say god here i am like isaiah said when he saw the lord how you lift it up [Music] he saw the lord and he said whoa it's me a man of unclean lips and they took a coal a seraphim took a coal from the altar and touched his lips and he said you're clean and isaiah said when the lord said whom shall i send whom shall i send isaiah said here i am lord send me here i am some of you some of you will be called to nations some of you will be called to schools some of you be called to wherever but the lord's calling he is calling he is saying won't you answer my call won't you answer my call [Music] won't you answer my call repent let him have you let's everybody i want everybody to get on their knees just everybody just get [Music] down [Music] i want us right now to sing a song of commitment of complete consecration to the lord consecration everything in you holding nothing back god will mark you because only he can do this i can pray for everybody but if the lord doesn't do it it doesn't happen it doesn't matter it's the lord are you with me he has to touch you he has to mark you this service is called encounter because i need to encounter him i'm gonna let the worship team go after this set of fire would be great and i want you to completely consecrate your heart right now to the lord i want you to completely let the lord have you please don't hold back just for a few minutes go after him with me right now go after him with me so that when you go home you go after him when you go home when you wake up you go after him when you wake up when
