530 00:27:05,091 --> 00:27:08,811 I'll be honest, I thought, what a weird thing, especially with 531 00:27:08,811 --> 00:27:12,771 thousands in attendance to talk about Luciferianism. 532 00:27:13,491 --> 00:27:15,651 And then I was watching my friend Mark. 533 00:27:16,211 --> 00:27:17,851 He has a Saturday night service. 534 00:27:17,851 --> 00:27:21,571 And so as I was going through my notes, I had his sermon on just 535 00:27:21,571 --> 00:27:22,091 watching him. 536 00:27:22,091 --> 00:27:24,491 And all of a sudden he gets towards the end of his sermon and 537 00:27:24,491 --> 00:27:28,981 he says, I asked the Lord to show me what is the spirit, what 538 00:27:28,981 --> 00:27:31,861 is the demon that's over all of what's happening in our nation, 539 00:27:32,501 --> 00:27:35,941 this murderous spirit, this spirit of destruction. 540 00:27:36,261 --> 00:27:39,381 And he said, the Lord spoke to me and said it was Luciferianism. 541 00:27:40,181 --> 00:27:43,981 When those words came out of Mark's mouth, I. I mean, it dropped 542 00:27:43,981 --> 00:27:44,581 my jaw. 543 00:27:44,741 --> 00:27:47,781 And I literally, I was the most stunned I've been in a long 544 00:27:47,781 --> 00:27:51,461 time because it was just like how the Lord told me to actually 545 00:27:51,461 --> 00:27:52,501 preach a sermon. 546 00:27:52,501 --> 00:27:56,081 The turning point two days before Charlie Kirk's murder. 547 00:27:56,081 --> 00:28:00,081 Or just like how he told me to change the name of this sermon or 548 00:28:00,081 --> 00:28:04,161 this service from Ignite Sunday to Homecoming, not knowing 549 00:28:04,161 --> 00:28:06,161 that many unsafe people would come. 550 00:28:06,241 --> 00:28:07,921 It's like the Lord was doing something. 551 00:28:08,001 --> 00:28:11,641 And I was texting Mark last night and I was like, mark, one of 552 00:28:11,641 --> 00:28:15,601 the greatest moments of confirmation in my life was hearing 553 00:28:15,601 --> 00:28:20,471 you speak the phrase Luciferianism as the diagnosis for 554 00:28:20,471 --> 00:28:21,391 what we're dealing with. 555 00:28:22,191 --> 00:28:24,911 But there's many of you who are confused about what that means. 556 00:28:26,111 --> 00:28:30,471 And because of my in depth studies of demonology, I started 557 00:28:30,471 --> 00:28:34,911 to go back and review notes and rehearse and sort of refresh 558 00:28:34,911 --> 00:28:35,551 my memory. 559 00:28:37,071 --> 00:28:38,351 And it's very simple. 560 00:28:39,151 --> 00:28:42,671 That serpent that came into the garden, way back in Genesis, 561 00:28:42,991 --> 00:28:47,311 he looked at Adam and Eve and he said, I know God gave you a command. 562 00:28:48,201 --> 00:28:49,801 I know God gave you a plan. 563 00:28:50,201 --> 00:28:52,281 But you can make your own plan. 564 00:28:52,281 --> 00:28:54,441 And if you do, you won't die. 565 00:28:54,521 --> 00:28:58,121 You can live life the way you want to do it, and you're not going 566 00:28:58,121 --> 00:28:58,681 to die. 567 00:28:58,841 --> 00:29:02,801 And so the question right now, it's not, are you a Republican or 568 00:29:02,801 --> 00:29:03,961 are you a Democrat? 569 00:29:04,041 --> 00:29:06,921 The question right now is not white versus black. 570 00:29:07,001 --> 00:29:11,201 The question is this, do you believe in God or do you believe 571 00:29:11,201 --> 00:29:12,521 that you are God? 572 00:29:15,331 --> 00:29:17,731 It's not Christianity versus Atheism. 573 00:29:18,451 --> 00:29:21,571 It's Luciferianism versus Christianity. 574 00:29:21,571 --> 00:29:22,931 And here's the difference. 575 00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:28,251 Do you believe in the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, or do. 576 00:29:28,251 --> 00:29:30,691 You believe that you are a God? 577 00:29:32,371 --> 00:29:36,611 Transgenderism is a demonic spirit. 578 00:29:37,411 --> 00:29:42,661 When you study the pagan representations of demons, you see 579 00:29:42,661 --> 00:29:46,341 that these demons chose to represent themselves as transgender 580 00:29:46,341 --> 00:29:47,141 throughout history. 581 00:29:49,861 --> 00:29:51,061 But what is the root? 582 00:29:51,941 --> 00:29:55,781 The root is my identity is not received. 583 00:29:57,381 --> 00:29:59,621 My identity is achieved. 584 00:30:00,421 --> 00:30:02,421 I achieve it with surgeries. 585 00:30:02,581 --> 00:30:04,901 I achieve it with hormone replacement. 586 00:30:04,981 --> 00:30:05,941 I achieve it. 587 00:30:05,941 --> 00:30:06,341 Come on. 588 00:30:06,341 --> 00:30:09,661 I'm speaking into the core of a demonic infrastructure structure. 589 00:30:09,661 --> 00:30:11,701 And let me just tell you, for those of you who are saying, well, 590 00:30:11,701 --> 00:30:14,101 I'm not transgendered, what does this have to do with me? 591 00:30:14,341 --> 00:30:19,941 Depression and anxiety is also connected to Luciferian thought. 592 00:30:20,901 --> 00:30:21,301 Why? 593 00:30:22,341 --> 00:30:25,821 One of the most Luciferian questions you can be asked is very 594 00:30:25,821 --> 00:30:28,261 simply, what are you going to be when you grow up? 595 00:30:30,501 --> 00:30:33,701 See, Americans ask that question in our public education 596 00:30:33,941 --> 00:30:34,461 systems. 597 00:30:34,461 --> 00:30:35,701 What are you going to be when you grow up? 598 00:30:35,701 --> 00:30:36,961 What are you going to be when you grow up? 599 00:30:37,031 --> 00:30:37,271 What? 600 00:30:37,271 --> 00:30:40,271 And how many of us grew up and still didn't know what we're going 601 00:30:40,271 --> 00:30:40,711 to be? 602 00:30:41,591 --> 00:30:43,431 Why is that elusive question? 603 00:30:44,871 --> 00:30:50,551 Adam didn't have to figure out what he did with his life. 604 00:30:51,671 --> 00:30:55,391 Adam didn't have to figure out what was he going to be when he grew 605 00:30:55,391 --> 00:30:55,671 up. 606 00:30:56,071 --> 00:30:59,911 Identity was given to him by Abba, his father. 607 00:31:00,311 --> 00:31:01,751 Assignment was given. 608 00:31:01,991 --> 00:31:03,601 His wife was given. 609 00:31:03,841 --> 00:31:05,281 His life was given. 610 00:31:05,521 --> 00:31:10,201 And so what happens when you feel like you are God with a lowercase 611 00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:10,561 g? 612 00:31:13,521 --> 00:31:17,161 You feel the weight of anxiety, of always having to figure 613 00:31:17,161 --> 00:31:20,161 out how to be a good God over your life. 614 00:31:22,481 --> 00:31:28,081 But the gospel is that for all have sinned and fallen short of the 615 00:31:28,081 --> 00:31:28,261 glory. 616 00:31:29,131 --> 00:31:31,691 And I was a bad God over my life. 617 00:31:31,851 --> 00:31:36,811 It led to infidelity and adultery and alcoholism and shame 618 00:31:36,971 --> 00:31:39,291 and God, I'm done being in charge. 619 00:31:39,371 --> 00:31:41,851 I want you to be my Lord and Savior. 620 00:31:43,851 --> 00:31:44,891 Here's the thing. 621 00:31:45,531 --> 00:31:47,611 Right now, the world wants a savior. 622 00:31:48,011 --> 00:31:51,171 In your if you're on your deathbed with cancer, who wouldn't 623 00:31:51,171 --> 00:31:52,091 want the cure? 624 00:31:53,611 --> 00:31:54,751 If you're having an anxiety. 625 00:31:54,821 --> 00:31:55,461 Anxiety attack. 626 00:31:55,461 --> 00:31:56,661 That doesn't make sense. 627 00:31:56,661 --> 00:31:58,821 Who wouldn't want it to immediately stop? 628 00:31:59,861 --> 00:32:01,461 Everybody wants a savior. 629 00:32:01,941 --> 00:32:06,261 But In Romans chapter 10, verse 9, it says that we must confess 630 00:32:06,261 --> 00:32:11,941 with our mouth and believe in our heart that he is Lord and Savior. 631 00:32:11,941 --> 00:32:13,301 And let me tell you the difference. 632 00:32:13,301 --> 00:32:14,821 The difference is simply this. 633 00:32:15,061 --> 00:32:19,061 I praise you when it works out the way I want it to, and I praise 634 00:32:19,061 --> 00:32:21,301 you when I don't understand what you're doing. 635 00:32:21,541 --> 00:32:23,871 I am not just here for your help hand. 636 00:32:24,031 --> 00:32:25,551 I am here for your face. 637 00:32:25,871 --> 00:32:27,231 I want to know you. 638 00:32:27,311 --> 00:32:29,231 I want to be submitted to you. 639 00:32:29,391 --> 00:32:30,271 You are the Lord. 640 00:32:30,271 --> 00:32:31,031 Let pure word. 641 00:32:31,031 --> 00:32:34,271 I wish somebody would jump to their feet and give them some pure 642 00:32:34,271 --> 00:32:38,591 worship that says God, no matter what, I worship you. 643 00:32:38,751 --> 00:32:40,351 You're not just my savior. 644 00:32:40,351 --> 00:32:41,631 My you're my Lord. 645 00:32:42,671 --> 00:32:44,991 Somebody shout, you're my Lord. 646 00:32:50,681 --> 00:32:51,161 This is. 647 00:32:52,361 --> 00:32:57,481 I believe that when Gen Z goes into the school systems and they 648 00:32:57,481 --> 00:33:03,401 see their friends dressed as furries, when there's dog bowls in 649 00:33:03,401 --> 00:33:07,241 the corner to accommodate that demonic delusion. 650 00:33:07,961 --> 00:33:09,241 We're at a turning point. 651 00:33:10,921 --> 00:33:12,201 We're at a turning point. 652 00:33:15,011 --> 00:33:17,091 Do I say this to condemn? 653 00:33:18,291 --> 00:33:20,211 No, it's quite the opposite. 654 00:33:21,571 --> 00:33:26,651 I say that the freedom of the gospel is that you will receive an 655 00:33:26,651 --> 00:33:28,691 identity that you could never achieve. 656 00:33:29,971 --> 00:33:32,971 That you don't have to be filled with anxiety, you don't have 657 00:33:32,971 --> 00:33:34,211 to be filled with fear. 658 00:33:34,531 --> 00:33:36,771 You can simply say yes to Jesus. 659 00:33:36,851 --> 00:33:38,411 But here's the thing. 660 00:33:38,411 --> 00:33:39,011 Hear me. 661 00:33:39,411 --> 00:33:41,831 You have to make him Lord. 662 00:33:42,551 --> 00:33:43,511 What is Lord? 663 00:33:44,791 --> 00:33:50,431 Lord is my heterosexual sin is going to send me to hell, just like 664 00:33:50,431 --> 00:33:53,111 homosexual sin will send me to hell. 665 00:33:53,191 --> 00:33:54,991 And so I don't just need a savior. 666 00:33:54,991 --> 00:33:58,471 I need to submit Lord and say, I'm not going to try to get into 667 00:33:58,471 --> 00:34:02,311 the ring and fight a battle with lust I'll never win. 668 00:34:02,391 --> 00:34:04,671 I'm going to flee from sexual immorality. 669 00:34:04,671 --> 00:34:06,471 I'm going to run in the other direction. 670 00:34:06,751 --> 00:34:08,951 I'm going to find accountability in a group, in the 671 00:34:08,951 --> 00:34:09,311 church. 672 00:34:09,391 --> 00:34:11,471 I'm going to show up to the Bible studies. 673 00:34:11,471 --> 00:34:13,271 I'm going to show up to the meetings. 674 00:34:13,271 --> 00:34:13,831 I'm going to go. 675 00:34:13,831 --> 00:34:15,071 I'm going to be accountable. 676 00:34:15,071 --> 00:34:16,711 I need a Lord over my life. 677 00:34:16,711 --> 00:34:18,351 I've been a rebel my whole life. 678 00:34:18,351 --> 00:34:20,831 But now it's time to submit to him as Lord. 679 00:34:20,911 --> 00:34:21,631 Somebody shout. 680 00:34:21,631 --> 00:34:22,751 It's a turning point. 681 00:34:24,911 --> 00:34:29,871 So to continue the story of Acts, chapter 27, they don't listen. 682 00:34:30,431 --> 00:34:36,921 It's late fall, probably late November, and they try to traverse 683 00:34:37,081 --> 00:34:41,881 an impossible distance of water out of sheer foolishness. 684 00:34:41,881 --> 00:34:43,641 They wanted to go to another destination. 685 00:34:43,961 --> 00:34:47,001 How many of you know some of your friends and family, no matter 686 00:34:47,001 --> 00:34:50,321 how much you try to save them from destruction, keep heading in 687 00:34:50,321 --> 00:34:51,161 that direction. 688 00:34:51,161 --> 00:34:52,921 But I got good news for you. 689 00:34:53,001 --> 00:34:54,601 The result is on God. 690 00:34:54,681 --> 00:34:58,371 The obligation to tell them the truth is on you, but the results 691 00:34:58,451 --> 00:34:59,051 on God. 692 00:34:59,051 --> 00:35:00,611 There's going to be people who hear. 693 00:35:00,611 --> 00:35:02,411 This message and want to end my. 694 00:35:02,411 --> 00:35:05,491 Life, too, because of my stance on transgenderism. 695 00:35:05,571 --> 00:35:06,891 And yet there's going to be others. 696 00:35:06,891 --> 00:35:11,131 In the transgender community that the gospel of Jesus Christ causes 697 00:35:11,131 --> 00:35:12,451 the scales to fall off. 698 00:35:12,451 --> 00:35:15,491 And they say, I once was blind, but now I see. 699 00:35:15,571 --> 00:35:17,971 I once was lost, and now I'm found. 700 00:35:18,051 --> 00:35:21,891 And the only way that happens is I got to be faithful not to give 701 00:35:21,891 --> 00:35:25,011 my opinion, but to give the truth of the word of God. 702 00:35:29,561 --> 00:35:33,481 There's a man in the Bible named Samson, and you don't know 703 00:35:33,481 --> 00:35:37,081 this because you got the coloring book version, but when he 704 00:35:37,081 --> 00:35:41,081 pushed the pillars down, he was in a temple of Dagon. 705 00:35:42,041 --> 00:35:46,041 It was a hybrid of a human and a creature. 706 00:35:47,161 --> 00:35:50,081 See, these spirits are playing the same playbook, and it's working 707 00:35:50,081 --> 00:35:51,001 over and over again. 708 00:35:51,711 --> 00:35:55,511 But when Samson pushed the pillars down of the temple of Dagon 709 00:35:55,511 --> 00:35:59,031 and destroyed all the priests of Dagon, what it was saying was 710 00:35:59,031 --> 00:36:01,711 lust and perversion almost took me out. 711 00:36:01,791 --> 00:36:06,071 But God has given me grace to take this demon out, and he pushed 712 00:36:06,071 --> 00:36:07,071 those pillars down. 713 00:36:07,150 --> 00:36:10,511 And I'm here to tell you, there's going to be people like Richard 714 00:36:10,591 --> 00:36:12,871 that begin to rise up like a Samson. 715 00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:19,121 In our generation that says LGBTQ ia, you don't have to achieve 716 00:36:19,121 --> 00:36:20,041 your identity. 717 00:36:20,201 --> 00:36:25,641 You receive your identity as a son and daughter and push those pillars 718 00:36:25,881 --> 00:36:26,281 down. 719 00:36:26,601 --> 00:36:29,001 It's a turning point, America. 720 00:36:31,481 --> 00:36:32,921 It's a turning point. 721 00:36:33,961 --> 00:36:35,481 Samson's are going to arise. 722 00:36:35,721 --> 00:36:38,041 Esthers and Mordecai's are going to arise. 723 00:36:38,521 --> 00:36:43,721 But the good news, cloaked in the bad news, is it has to get darker 724 00:36:44,571 --> 00:36:46,171 so that our light can shine brighter. 725 00:36:46,891 --> 00:36:50,411 I want to ask you this last question as I end this sermon. 726 00:36:52,171 --> 00:36:53,171 Acts 20:7. 727 00:36:53,171 --> 00:36:57,531 Paul literally is in this massive shipwreck. 728 00:36:57,931 --> 00:37:02,091 The lives of those on board were preserved because we serve the 729 00:37:02,091 --> 00:37:04,731 God of second chances. 730 00:37:05,931 --> 00:37:09,411 Even though they listened to the pilot and not Paul, Even though 731 00:37:09,411 --> 00:37:12,391 they could have stayed in Crete, but they intended to go to 732 00:37:12,391 --> 00:37:14,511 another destination God didn't design. 733 00:37:14,831 --> 00:37:17,911 I'm telling you, God was merciful and said, the ship will 734 00:37:17,911 --> 00:37:21,271 be destroyed, but your lives will be saved because He's God of 735 00:37:21,271 --> 00:37:22,271 second chances. 736 00:37:23,231 --> 00:37:28,191 There's many of you who, under the sound of my voice, who have not 737 00:37:28,191 --> 00:37:31,631 been to church in years and years and years. 738 00:37:32,751 --> 00:37:36,751 And you should have stayed in Crete, but you went on a journey 739 00:37:37,681 --> 00:37:40,641 and you've experienced shipwreck after shipwreck. 740 00:37:41,201 --> 00:37:46,361 But in God's mercy, he said, son, if you're not dead, it's because 741 00:37:46,361 --> 00:37:47,201 you're not done. 742 00:37:47,681 --> 00:37:52,201 Daughter, you may have left me, but I will never leave you and 743 00:37:52,201 --> 00:37:53,521 never forsake you. 744 00:37:53,521 --> 00:37:55,641 And I'll be with you to the ends of the earth. 745 00:37:55,641 --> 00:37:59,001 But the question I have for you is, do you want to be saved from 746 00:37:59,001 --> 00:38:02,041 a shipwreck, or do you want to receive him as Lord of your. 747 00:38:02,041 --> 00:38:04,701 Life and say, I now will submit to you? 748 00:38:04,861 --> 00:38:08,501 Do what you will with me, break these demonic spirits off of 749 00:38:08,501 --> 00:38:12,901 me and free me from this false identity so I can step up into the 750 00:38:12,901 --> 00:38:13,181 real. 751 00:38:13,341 --> 00:38:15,501 I want to be a part of the turning point. 752 00:38:16,541 --> 00:38:19,981 So on the count of three, here's what we're going to do. 753 00:38:20,381 --> 00:38:21,901 And I don't care if you're up there. 754 00:38:22,221 --> 00:38:24,221 I don't care if you're in the overflow room. 755 00:38:24,381 --> 00:38:29,101 We have to do this because the Bible does not say, make a private 756 00:38:29,181 --> 00:38:32,351 decision and do it from the comfort of your seat. 757 00:38:32,671 --> 00:38:38,391 The Bible says that if you will deny Christ before man, that 758 00:38:38,391 --> 00:38:41,871 when you get to heaven for Judgment Day, he will deny you before 759 00:38:41,871 --> 00:38:42,671 His Father. 760 00:38:42,991 --> 00:38:46,791 So on the count of three, the question I have is, do you want to 761 00:38:46,791 --> 00:38:50,871 receive Jesus as your Savior, but do you also want to submit to 762 00:38:50,871 --> 00:38:54,391 him as Lord and say God, in this turning point, I don't want 763 00:38:54,391 --> 00:38:55,551 to miss what you have. 764 00:38:55,881 --> 00:38:57,081 I'm ready to lock in. 765 00:38:57,161 --> 00:38:58,921 I'm ready to submit to you. 766 00:38:58,921 --> 00:39:03,561 I'm ready to receive you, and I'm ready to come home for homecoming. 767 00:39:04,601 --> 00:39:08,361 And I want us to run and fill these altars on the count of three. 768 00:39:08,761 --> 00:39:11,481 And I want you to do it in front of your friends and family. 769 00:39:12,041 --> 00:39:16,281 And I want you to show them I've decided I'll never be the same 770 00:39:16,841 --> 00:39:18,121 if that's you right now. 771 00:39:19,641 --> 00:39:21,481 Heaven has been waiting for this moment. 772 00:39:22,291 --> 00:39:25,491 Heaven has been waiting for the moment where you stop being lukewarm 773 00:39:25,571 --> 00:39:27,811 and you actually become fiery hot. 774 00:39:27,891 --> 00:39:30,731 And you say, God, I'm going all the way in one. 775 00:39:30,731 --> 00:39:33,451 If that's you, God's dealing with your heart. 776 00:39:33,451 --> 00:39:35,091 Don't resist the Holy Spirit. 777 00:39:35,411 --> 00:39:37,491 It's not about the emotion of the moment. 778 00:39:37,491 --> 00:39:39,091 It's about him drawing you. 779 00:39:39,331 --> 00:39:43,251 Two, if that's you, I want you to grab the hand of somebody with 780 00:39:43,251 --> 00:39:43,571 you. 781 00:39:43,651 --> 00:39:44,811 Give them your courage. 782 00:39:44,811 --> 00:39:45,491 Number three. 783 00:39:45,491 --> 00:39:46,531 Come right now. 784 00:39:46,691 --> 00:39:47,331 Just come. 785

00:39:53,631 --> 00:39:56,111 If you want to receive Christ as your savior, come. 790 00:39:57,231 --> 00:39:58,271 Come on, church. 791 00:40:01,151 --> 00:40:02,271 Just come up front. 792 00:40:02,591 --> 00:40:04,671 Come on, young people, come up closer. 793 00:40:06,431 --> 00:40:06,951 Come on. 794 00:40:06,951 --> 00:40:07,471 They're coming. 795 00:40:08,591 --> 00:40:09,111 Come on. 796 00:40:09,111 --> 00:40:09,631 They're coming. 797 00:40:10,591 --> 00:40:11,071 Come on. 798 00:40:11,071 --> 00:40:12,351 Heaven is rejoicing. 799 00:40:12,671 --> 00:40:14,431 The angels are

00:43:04,022 And God will take the blood of his son, Jesus, and wash us, make 839 00:43:04,022 --> 00:43:04,622 us clean. 840 00:43:05,982 --> 00:43:07,102 It's a turning point. 841 00:43:07,982 --> 00:43:10,462 I want you to make a commitment to be discipled. 842 00:43:11,342 --> 00:43:13,982 I want you to make a commitment to walk the narrow road. 843 00:43:14,702 --> 00:43:17,102 I want you to make a commitment to read your Bible. 844 00:43:17,582 --> 00:43:19,422 Gen Z, are you ready to lock in? 845 00:43:20,302 --> 00:43:21,662 Are you ready to lock in. 846 00:43:22,382 --> 00:43:23,102 It's time. 847 00:43:24,142 --> 00:43:27,822 This Luciferian spirit is going to be broken off of this generation. 848 00:43:28,732 --> 00:43:33,692 And we're going to be free to say, God's got this, God's in control. 849 00:43:35,612 --> 00:43:38,492 How many of you just feel the peace of God just rushing over this 850 00:43:38,492 --> 00:43:39,372 place right now? 851 00:43:45,052 --> 00:43:45,932 We're going to pray. 852 00:43:46,092 --> 00:43:47,452 We're going to pray in a moment. 853 00:43:47,852 --> 00:43:51,212 Romans chapter 10 says, Confess your mouth with your mouth. 854 00:43:51,532 --> 00:43:54,062 Believe in your heart that he is your Lord and Satan savior and 855 00:43:54,062 --> 00:43:55,022 you will be saved. 856 00:43:55,662 --> 00:43:59,222 Tonight at 7pm we're gonna have a revival service here. 857 00:43:59,222 --> 00:44:03,022 It's gonna be different than the morning service at 5pm I'm gonna 858 00:44:03,022 --> 00:44:03,822 be available. 859 00:44:03,982 --> 00:44:07,022 I want to meet you, want to take a picture, wanna, you know, 860 00:44:07,022 --> 00:44:08,182 just hang with you guys. 861 00:44:08,182 --> 00:44:11,582 And there's gonna be something very special that happens tonight. 862 00:44:11,902 --> 00:44:14,582 But for every single one of you that accepted Christ today, I 863 00:44:14,582 --> 00:44:18,222 want you to make a commitment to go home, to get your friends, 864 00:44:18,702 --> 00:44:21,142 to get your family and bring them back to tonight. 865 00:44:21,382 --> 00:44:24,422 Because some of what God wants to do, he wants to do it today. 866 00:44:24,822 --> 00:44:27,222 This is the day of salvation. 867 00:44:27,622 --> 00:44:28,782 This is the day. 868 00:44:28,782 --> 00:44:30,102 How many of you believe that? 869 00:44:30,822 --> 00:44:34,542 So tonight, get him back here for 7pm it's the only service we 870 00:44:34,542 --> 00:44:36,022 have that even has room left. 871 00:44:36,182 --> 00:44:42,502 But come back here tonight at 7pm let's reverence the presence 872 00:44:42,502 --> 00:44:42,982 of God. 873 00:44:44,262 --> 00:44:45,062 He's here. 874 00:44:46,352 --> 00:44:46,992 He's here. 875 00:44:53,552 --> 00:44:57,512 I hear somebody's heart and you've been crying out, God, when 876 00:44:57,512 --> 00:44:58,352 is it going to change? 877 00:44:59,472 --> 00:45:01,232 I can't take this anymore. 878 00:45:01,792 --> 00:45:03,712 I can't live like this anymore. 879 00:45:04,672 --> 00:45:07,712 I see a woman silently crying on her pillow. 880 00:45:08,432 --> 00:45:12,032 And you have these late night tears that nobody knows about. 881 00:45:12,902 --> 00:45:16,742 I see you waking up at 2 and 3 and 4 in the morning and just weeping, 882 00:45:17,302 --> 00:45:17,822 crying. 883 00:45:17,822 --> 00:45:19,782 You're on your phone, you can't sleep. 884 00:45:21,542 --> 00:45:25,462 And the Lord says, I give you my peace. 885 00:45:26,582 --> 00:45:29,382 Peace that surpasses all understanding. 886 00:45:32,262 --> 00:45:34,982 Some of you have been bearing this heavy burden of your family. 887 00:45:35,382 --> 00:45:39,632 And I see you weeping for your family, weeping for your friends. 888 00:45:40,752 --> 00:45:45,392 But I want to tell you it's Jesus Christ crying through you because 889 00:45:45,392 --> 00:45:47,312 he's giving you a burden for the lost. 890 00:45:47,792 --> 00:45:51,192 And your heart's going to be moved with compassion for those who 891 00:45:51,192 --> 00:45:51,712 are lost. 892 00:45:52,192 --> 00:45:55,232 And you're going to feel what he feels and you're going to think 893 00:45:55,232 --> 00:45:58,032 what he thinks because you've received the mind of Christ. 894 00:45:58,832 --> 00:46:02,312 When we pray this prayer, the Bible says that the old has passed 895 00:46:02,312 --> 00:46:06,832 away and behold all, all things become new. 896 00:46:09,152 --> 00:46:14,712 There's somebody that one of the biggest regrets of their life 897 00:46:14,712 --> 00:46:17,072 was not being a virgin when they got married. 898 00:46:17,872 --> 00:46:19,632 And you felt ashamed. 899 00:46:21,312 --> 00:46:23,552 And you had made a promise that you broke. 900 00:46:24,432 --> 00:46:27,472 And I heard the Lord saying, daughter, behold, I make all things 901 00:46:27,472 --> 00:46:27,872 new. 902 00:46:28,512 --> 00:46:31,152 But also to the men, I make all things new. 903 00:46:32,692 --> 00:46:36,772 There's some of you that your purity was taken by sexual abuse, 904 00:46:37,492 --> 00:46:40,212 and it perverted and distorted your identity. 905 00:46:41,012 --> 00:46:44,372 And you've been saying, I just feel like I can never be normal. 906 00:46:44,612 --> 00:46:48,332 There's some of you that found pornography at such a young age that 907 00:46:48,332 --> 00:46:50,212 it destroyed your imagination. 908 00:46:50,932 --> 00:46:53,572 And you've said, I just don't know that I could ever be normal. 909 00:46:54,292 --> 00:46:56,252 But God is not going to make you normal. 910 00:46:56,252 --> 00:46:57,492 He's going to make you new. 911 00:46:58,452 --> 00:47:01,492 And then you'll never be normal because you're a royal priesthood, 912 00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:03,172 a chosen generation. 913 00:47:03,492 --> 00:47:04,132 Come on. 914 00:47:04,852 --> 00:47:05,812 And this is when. 915 00:47:05,812 --> 00:47:07,092 This is the turnaround. 916 00:47:07,092 --> 00:47:08,252 This is the transition. 917 00:47:08,252 --> 00:47:09,572 This is the turning point. 918 00:47:14,212 --> 00:47:18,092 Some of you got so hurt by another church that one of the scariest 919 00:47:18,092 --> 00:47:20,612 things that you could do is even step into a church. 920 00:47:20,612 --> 00:47:22,932 And I honor the fact that you tried again. 921 00:47:22,932 --> 00:47:23,752 And I honor Girl. 922 00:47:23,752 --> 00:47:25,112 I know there's skepticism. 923 00:47:27,512 --> 00:47:29,672 I know that there's a little bit of skepticism. 924 00:47:31,592 --> 00:47:34,272 But I also believe that God will take you to the place where 925 00:47:34,272 --> 00:47:35,592 you were hurt to heal you. 926 00:47:37,112 --> 00:47:39,352 And so this isn't about playing church games. 927 00:47:40,152 --> 00:47:41,552 This is about destiny. 928 00:47:41,552 --> 00:47:43,032 This is about the afterlife. 929 00:47:43,032 --> 00:47:44,392 This is about eternity. 930 00:47:45,512 --> 00:47:46,712 Are you ready to pray? 931 00:47:47,672 --> 00:47:49,712 Because when you pray this prayer, it's all going to be done 932 00:47:49,712 --> 00:47:50,322 in a moment. 933 00:47:51,672 --> 00:47:53,112 Lift your hands towards heaven. 934 00:47:53,832 --> 00:47:54,832 Let's do this together. 935 00:47:54,832 --> 00:47:55,912 From the front to the back. 936 00:47:55,912 --> 00:47:57,832 This is the universal sign of surrender. 937 00:47:57,992 --> 00:48:02,032 Everybody on the fringes here, everybody in overflow, and I want 938 00:48:02,032 --> 00:48:04,592 you to pray this because they're just weeping and there's 939 00:48:04,592 --> 00:48:05,192 so many tears. 940 00:48:05,192 --> 00:48:09,272 But these tears are like seeds that fall into the soil of your life, 941 00:48:09,352 --> 00:48:12,672 and they're gonna bear much fruit, and you will reap a harvest 942 00:48:12,672 --> 00:48:13,432 of joy. 943 00:48:13,912 --> 00:48:16,872 So shout this out with me and say it boldly. 944 00:48:16,872 --> 00:48:22,562 Heavenly Father, I thank you for the cross where my sins were 945 00:48:22,562 --> 00:48:23,162 forgiven. 946 00:48:23,962 --> 00:48:26,842 I repent for every sin. 947 00:48:27,322 --> 00:48:30,362 Wash me with your blood, Father. 948 00:48:30,362 --> 00:48:33,882 I will follow you all the days of my life. 949 00:48:34,922 --> 00:48:36,202 I will serve you. 950 00:48:36,922 --> 00:48:40,442 You are Lord and Savior. 951 00:48:41,242 --> 00:48:46,602 I will walk the narrow road because it's a turning point. 952 00:48:47,482 --> 00:48:53,542 And I turn to in Jesus name Someone shout Amen. 953 00:48:54,102 --> 00:48:55,142 Come on,
