Burn It All | Pastor Nelson Bowen

All right, you ready for the word? I'm ready to give it. Last week, how about that? And if you missed the 11 a.m., I tried to warn y'all that the 11 was gonna be a little insane, and it was, God did his thing. He did his thing. But you can't experience what we experienced last week and just act like it didn't happen. And so, I can't really, part of what's happening in this house, can I just have some grace for this morning? But part of what's happening in this house, you will understand completely on Wednesday what God is doing if you'll come out. So, Ms. Lorraine, as I was trying to reason and process, God gave me a whole different message because I was supposed to teach something that I had already written, and like Tuesday, me and Mada Fett, me and our lady B were on the phone, and I thought I was trying to explain to her what I was feeling and what was coming out of it. And I said, I just needed to hear something, and between like Tuesday and Thursday, he just was downloading something different that I wanna share with you all today. Generally, I'm a little more prepared for my message, but I'm just gonna kind of give to you what he gave to me in real time.

Is that okay? Because I think that there's a, we're in a season where God is more so giving us instructions in the moment. It's almost as if like, like how God works, where he doesn't show you the whole plan, he just wants to make sure that you're doing this step first. Does this make sense? So there's a lot of what I'm trying to get from him, and he's saying no, just do step two before I give you step three. And so I'm hoping that I'll get to some of these sermon series, but kind of what I feel like has been happening is as I leave the stage at 11, God then speaks to me about something else. And I think that's just what in time obedience looks like. And so he gave me this message called burn it all up. Burn it all up. It's rare that I have a Sunday in August where I get to preach from my devotion. Generally, we're very like a scripted church, and so we kind of know what's going on, when it's happening. But like I said, God was just kind of speaking to me, and the message last week was pretty simple. We asked this one question found in Proverbs, how long will you slumber? In the heart of the message was simply, I can no longer stay sleep to the things of God.

Yes or no? Today I want to encourage you to do something that you already know you should be doing. But I'm hoping that this will just put maybe more of a fire in Mississippi up under you. It's nothing profound, it's nothing crazy. Even when I say this, you're probably like, oh yeah, of course. But I want to encourage you to follow Jesus. Lady B, not a big message. But what I'm finding is that people say they do. The word follow implies movement. So if last week was about waking you up, this week is about getting you to actually move. Because what I've discovered is that you can be awake, you can be alert, you can be convinced, you can even be inspired and still be standing in the same place. Yes or no? So this passage that I want to read today is actually about this interaction between Elijah and Elijah. Say what's the passage about? I think there's this gap that we have to confront today. The gap between recognizing that God has a calling on my life and actually having the guts to follow him. So before I jump into this passage, just let me kind of, like, okay, like, oh man, I'm just going to put out a bunch of things that I saw in it.

Is that okay? I don't even know if it's going to make sense. But I'm going to give it to you the way I want to give it to you. Is that okay? Or the way I'd be like, holy spirit wants me to give it to you. So before I jump into the passage, let me just kind of give you some context of what's happening. Elijah is a prophet who just had an amazing victory. I mean, he called fire. Have you ever been used by God to do something amazing? And then right after it, fearful? Right after it, you find yourself like you thought that you would stay on this high, but you're no longer on this high because Elijah right now was sitting under a tree with one simple thing from God. God, would you just let me die? Would you just let me die? And here's why he says because I feel like, or he didn't say I feel like it's what he said on his mouth, I'm the only one left who follows you. And sometimes life can make you feel like you're in it alone. Sometimes you can be going through something so bad for you that you think you're the only one going through it. And God says, oh boy, there's 7,000 more people who have not turned their back on me. This isn't my message, but I just want to tell you, you should look at your neighbor and say, you're not alone in this. You're not alone in this. You're not alone in this.

You are not going through this alone. And so then here's what happens, Mr. Rank. God begins to talk to Elijah about the person who's coming next. And this is where I want to pick up in verse 16. Verse number 16, it says, "And Jehu the son of Him, shall anoint to be king over Israel, and Elisha the son of Shafat of that place, shall anoint to be the prophet in your place." Translation, you're going to go announce, I'm sorry, you're going to go anoint your next person. His name's Elisha. Say, I'm leaning in. Elisha doesn't even know that he's been anointed yet. Elisha doesn't even know that Heaven is having a conversation about Him that's already been settled. I'm going to help y'all out today. Elisha has no clue that Heaven is having conversations about Him that He's not even present for. As a matter of fact, Elisha wakes up this morning. I know this not Monday morning, but I'm just going to say it's Monday morning just for the purposes of this message. I don't know what morning it is. I've got to be careful because some people are trying to hold me accountable to being anointed, actually, whatever. I'm just going to say it's Monday for this. But Elisha wakes up on a Monday morning and has no clue that prior to Him waking up that God was already having a conversation about His next season in His now season and in His now season, His next season has already been settled at.

What I'm telling you is that some of you all, you feel stuck and don't realize that Heaven is already speaking on your behalf to someone else. Elisha wakes up thinking it's just Monday morning, Lady B. And God is like, no, it's the morning. You just missed it. Elisha wakes up thinking it's just another Monday morning. And God is saying, no, this is the morning that you're going to have an encounter with your destiny. Watch this. It's often how calling works. There's no indication. Just the moment. And if we read 19 through 21, I'm going to read 19 through 21, and then I'm going to... Okay, so He departed from there, and He found Elisha, the son of Shafat, who was doing what? With 12 yoke of what? In front of Him, and He was with the 12th. Elisha passed by Him and cast His cloak upon Him. And He left the oxen and ran after the Elisha and said, "Let me kiss my father and my mother." And then I'll follow you. And He said to them, "Go back again for what have I done to you?" And He returned from following Him and took the yoke of oxen and sacrificed Him and boiled their flesh with the yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people when they ate. And then He arose and He went after Elisha and assisted Him. It's crucial because Elisha now has... He has this calling, but here's the deal. It's noteworthy to figure out where Elisha was when He was found. He was found plowing Pastor Stevie, the field. The Hebrew word for plow means to engrave or to work the ground. Essentially what's happening is Elisha is already working

when Samuel comes. Moses is tending Jethro's fox when the bush comes. Gideon is threshing wheat when the angel comes. Peter and Andrew are fishing when Jesus calls. Matthews at a tax booth when he calls. Elisha is plowing. Here's my first point, calling often interrupts faithfulness. Oh, we ought to have some fun. God has this habit of finding people, hear me, who are busy. Because some of you say, I'm just too busy. It's just too much on my plate. I've just got so much to do. I don't understand. Like, God loves busy people. He loves people who are already working up. See, see, if God is going to trust you with greater, often the question is, what are you doing with your hands now? And what I've discovered is that if God loves what you're doing with your hands now, he says bid you can be trusted with more. Now, I read this book in Proverbs last week. I've got to read it again. And I'm going to tell you where we're going. Watch this Proverbs. Chapter number six is, go to the Ant you what, slugger. Consider her ways and what, be wise, without having any chief officer ruler, watch this. She prepares her bread in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest. Verse nine, how long will you lie there, old slugger?

When will you arise from your sleep, a little sleep, a little slumber? Watch this, a little folding. I've discovered that God doesn't really look on to kindly people with a posture like this, with folded hands. You're asking God about purpose and dreams and calling and destiny with your hands folded. You're asking him about, God, would you take me someplace bigger than this? God, would you give me more? God, would you enlarge my territory, but you aren't doing anything with what you currently have? You get there with your hands folded. God loves me good people who know how to be busy. I kind of got to break this down because we often use busyness as an excuse when God looks as busy as a prerequisite. Should I not have said that? We often look at busyness as why we can't follow him, lady, I can't do it because I got so much. It's like, no, that's actually the prerequisite that you can be trusted with what's in your hands. What I can't trust is people who don't have anything going on. Have you ever tried to hire someone who wasn't busy? Come on, anybody who employs anybody, think about the people who were not busy that you hired and how long it took for you to fire them. But some of your best employees came from people who had to consider because they already

had a lot going on. They were already employed. They already had stuff happen like, man, why? Because it cost them a little bit more. Elisha, he's working 12 pairs of oxen, which means that there's 24 total. And underneath the surface, the reason why this detail is important is because it speaks to the family that Elisha comes from. It's a family of significance. It means that Elisha is not this poor tharm hand that's desperate for an escape. Elisha is not having to rescue Elisha from a bad life. He's actually calling him hear me from a good one. Oh, I haven't hit home yet. So, see, because we can make following God often about leaving a bad situation because we need him to rescue us and we desperately need something to change. It's not the bad one that he has to follow. Sometimes following God is actually leaving something that works, leaving something that feels good, leaving something where you're like, wait a second. Everything is going fine in my life. God is wondering not can you leave a bad life, but can you actually leave a good one? What do you mean? Can you leave a good job? Can you get out of a good relationship? Can you move from a good house? Can you leave this amazing city?

Can you walk away from a good opportunity? Hear me? Not because it's sinful, just because I asked you. [BLANK_AUDIO] Okay, we gonna have fun, we gonna have fun. Calm down, calm down, calm down. Because Elisha has family, he has a livelihood, he has land, he has resources, he has responsibility, he has familiarity, watch this, he has a future. What do you mean? Because his future is to take over the family business. And sometimes the following God is not leaving something dysfunctional. It's actually leaving something that's working. Can I help you out with my second point? This might get a little heavy, but the greatest enemy to your next season may not be something bad, it's the something good you're unwilling to leave. There's nothing sinful about plowing. There's nothing wrong with oxen. There was nothing evil about Elisha's family. They just couldn't go where God wanted him to go next. What I'm saying is could it be that the thing you're holding onto in this season is the very thing that's preventing you from elevating because you've reasoned, hear me, that there's nothing wrong with this. You've reasoned that this is not evil, but what you have to understand

is that what the enemy majors in is in you being confused about evil and not permitted. What do you mean? Because there can be things that are not permitted for you that's not necessarily evil, but it's still sin. And the reason why is sin is because God has given you an instruction and the thing that's so amazing to me about God is that what cannot be permitted for you may very well be permitted to you. And what we often do in our own lives is we find the people who have the different permissions than us 'cause that makes us comfortable with where we are. But truth, okay, calm down. And what we try to do is live when these technicalities of sinful and permissible. See, plowing oxen is interesting because just in the nature of it, it's repetitive. Walk, turn, walk, turn, walk, turn, until you cover the entire field. Elisha spends most of his day looking at dirt. He's looking at dirt. Wow, God is examining his destiny. I need you to see this because I just told you on this particular Monday, baby, while he's looking at dirt doing the same thing over and over, his destiny has already been settled in heaven. What he's looking at though, Sam, has not changed. But unbeknownst to him, his assignment already has. All right, okay, I need you to help, okay, okay. What it teaches me is that sometimes

you gotta be careful with thinking that because what you see hasn't changed, that God hasn't been active. Oh, you're not with me yet. Okay, I think, Tiff, I think it just hit you because oftentimes we can get confused because we go to the same job and we see the same marriage and we are coming home to the same children and we're in the same environments, we can confuse that with God's inactivity, not understanding that in the spiritual realm, there's some stuff that's already been settled in the spiritual realm. There's some things that's already occurred. Okay, calm down. 'Cause you see the same office and the same house and the same financial situation and the same routines and the same responsibilities and the same field, but here's what I'm trying to figure out. Can you wake up on an ordinary Monday, go to the same field, something that you have not been looking at, like, okay, calm down, God, Lawrence, what I'm trying to say is like, some of you are talking down your current field. There's some of you because what happens, Samaj? What happens, Samaj? If Elisha tries to call out of this place, what happens, lady B? If Elisha, and I'm not showing up, that he also misses the day

that he has a destined divine date with his destiny. And what the enemy wants to do is to get you tired of the same. He wants to get you tired of the monotony. He wants to get you tired of faithfulness. He wants to get you tired of commitment. He wants to get you tired of doing the same thing over and over and over again. That's what's annoying to you, but it would dis God's addiction. Elijah's in the same field, plowing the same field, busy with his head down, looking at oxen butt. I just say that. But he's faithful. See, because some of you have reason that because of your current view, you've reason that because of your current view said that you must be overlooked, because could you look at oxen butt and dirt every day? And what the enemy will love for you to do is to think that your current environment is an indicator of your present destiny, of your current future. And so if I can talk you out of understanding that this dirt and this oxen butt means that this is an indication of your life, I can get you to quit the very day or the very morning that God saved because of your faithfulness. Okay, now hear what I'm saying? To the same thing.

And the place that he didn't call out of and the place that he didn't abandon and the place where he kept showing up to, here comes the connection to his destiny. First Kings 19, 19 says, so he departed from there and he found he life to the son of Shafet. Here's what I thought was a pretty incredible samant. He departed from there and he found Eli Shuh. He found Eli Shuh. You mean to tell me Eli Shuh didn't go looking for Eli Shuh? That when the mantle, the calling, the succession, the responsibility, this next destiny, that's on him, Eli Shuh didn't go asking for it. He didn't apply for it. He didn't came paying for it. He didn't have to manipulate and try to get an Elijah's circle for it. The mantle interrupted every day normal life because that is what calling does. And what I found though, is that sometimes God will put something on your life, hear me that you never asked for. And this is why calling at times can feel more weighty than opportunity. That's the one where you've really been called. Why? Because you never ask to be the one to break generational curses. Oh, y'all not ready for me yet.

You never asked him to be the one that would have to deliver a family member? You never asked him to be the one who sees things and have to speak up. You never asked him to investigate your friend's circle and should I be a part of this or should I not? You were minding your own business and all of a sudden, here comes this weight that begins to rest on you, this mantle that requires responsibility. And I found out that a license never said, "Hey, I never asked for this." Yeah, I'm about to make a turn in the sermon, but here's what I was looking at Mr. Sophia. I'm trying to figure out why did he never say this? Why did he never say, I didn't ask you for this. I've said that. Just me? This might be the most important thing that I've discovered about calling. My third point, here's why. Calling doesn't begin with what you ask for. Calling begins with what God asks of you. What is God asking of you? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? Because we've reached the part of this text where I think you're gonna really be able to identify. Let's read verse 20 again.

And he left the oxen and he ran after Elijah and said, let me kiss my father and my mother. And then say it with me. And then, say it again. And then I will follow. Miss Lorraine. And then I will follow. It's interesting because Elijah, or Elisha, is not rejecting the fact that he's been called. He's actually in agreement. There's a calling on my life. Okay, great. I'm excited about this. But here's where it gets dangerous. Many of us in this room, we know what we've been asked to do. We know what we've been called to give up. We know what we should stop. We know where God is taking us. We know where we're going. We know all of that. The most dangerous part, I'm sorry. The most dangerous response to God is it no? God can actually handle your no. No, doesn't scare God, see? No, it's not dangerous. In fact, he prefers it. He says be hot or be cold. What he doesn't like, Lady B, in fact, actually makes him spit you out. It's lukewarm.

What he hates is indecisiveness. What he hates is indecision. What he hates is, let me do this first, and then I'll follow. See, what we often communicate to Jesus is, I will follow you after I get my finances together. I will follow you after the kids get settled, after the sports season ends, after I feel ready, after I have an understanding of all that you are doing, after I heal, after I get my degree, after I get comfortable, after. Let me do what I want to do first. And then, and then, and then, and then, and the problem with this and then, it's just communicating that you're lukewarm. It's communicating that like, I mean, God, I mean, you cool and all, but I want to do what I want to do first. I want to take care of what I want to take care of first. The danger of this mindset, here's where it comes to dangers, is that delay isn't sinful. It's like, you get what I'm saying when I do that? All y'all know exactly what I mean when I do that. I say, God, why is it that like this? What's up with this and then? He says, and then has a way of keeping control over how much of your yes I get access to. The problem with many of us, can I help you out? I said us. The problem with many of us is that our yes is conditional. It's conditioned upon convenience,

upon what we want to do in this moment, upon our comfort level, upon how we see life going. And the problem is this, that if we have an end-then mindset, we have yet to make God Lord. We love to save your part. We're grateful for that because that's the fire and shorts. That's so we don't go to hell. I'll give you my life, I just want to give you my yes. I'll give you my life because giving you my life means that I won't have to go to hell. I just want to experience like everything that I want to experience first, and then I'll follow you. And so let me get through my 20s, let me get through my 30s, let me get through my own conveyances, let me chase after my own dreams, and if it's not going right, I'll come and say this building and I'll ask for forgiveness just so you can get my life together just a little bit, but end-then. (audience clapping) So Elijah says, "Let me kiss my father and my mother." And in Hebrew, what he's asking for is permission to say goodbye. It's an important nuance because it's not the struggle of leaving people that he has to confront. It's the closure of his former life because his parents represent more than just mom and dad. It's home, it's identity, it's inheritance, it's security, it's familiarity. How about this, it's the life that Elijah has always assumed that he will live. Oh, okay, I got 10 minutes and I'm going to bring this home. Because for his entire life, Elijah only saw it one way. I'm a farmer, this is my family's land, these are our oxen, this is my field, this is my future. Translation, my mom was a nurse, her mom was a nurse, so I'm going to be a nurse. We've been together for years with no real struggles, things are fine, we'll probably get married. I went to school here, I went to college here, I met my spouse here, this is a great city

and all of a such and here comes the mantle. You get a word or an impression from God that you can no longer ignore. And here's the tension, here's the tension of the text, who I've been can no longer define who I'm becoming. Who I've been can no longer define who I'm becoming. And this is the emotional violence of calling, where God can call you for it, said, while your heart is still attached to what's behind you. Now I'm thinking of just preaching my own life. Because sometimes following God requires grieving the version of your life that true thoughts you would always have. It requires grieving this life that you thought you was always going to have. Not because it's dysfunctional, it's actually pretty good, it's just no longer as will for you. And sometimes following God isn't about leaving bad people or bad situations, sometimes it's kissing goodbye to what you love, to people you love, to things that were going well. Am I talking to anybody in here? Whereas like, yo, my life really wasn't in a bad place. Why do you want me to do this? Do you want me to give up a six-figure job for ministry? Some of you are like, why do you have to say that out loud? But it's the response of Elijah that gets me, because Elijah says this, he says, he says, go back. What have I done to you? Other words, I'm not forcing you to be here, I'm not going to beg you, I'm not going to convince you, I'm not going to pressure you, you're going to have to decide for yourself. Look at this baby, am I worth following? You got to make up in your own mind, am I, see, see, see, some of us think God's going to beg us to do right. He desires for us to do right, he desires us to follow him, but he's not going to beg you to do it.

He wants you to make a decision, and I've got six minutes and I'm getting ready to get out of here, because here's where everything begins to change, verse 21, and this member asks you one crucial question, and then we'll go home. He returned then from following him and he took the what, the yoke of oxen, and sacrificed them, and boiled their flesh with the yokes of oxen and gave it to the people. It's pretty radical, Elijah goes and he takes the yoke and the plow past the steep, which are made of wood, and he burns it, and he takes the oxen, and he kills them, and he sacrificed them. Have more time. How you made this past life of worship. But it's radical because he could have just taken the equipment and put it in the barn. He could have just, like, legit just taking this yoke, taking this plow, put it up in the barn, and had someone watch after his oxen, and said, just in case this profit thing don't work out, I want to make sure that I've got something to come back to. He could have done that. He really could have just been like, let me just put this stuff on ice, and I'm going to make sure, because here's the deal. I've never been here before. I don't even know where I'm going. I just met this guy two seconds ago, and he's telling me to stop everything and follow him. He could have 100% had a plan B. OK, you don't like that word. He could 100% had a just-in-case. Just-in-case obedience gets hard. Just-in-case marriage gets difficult.

Just-in-case ministry disappoints me. Just-in-case faith requires too much. Just-in-case God's timing frustrates me. I'm going to put this stuff up, but Elijah didn't do that. No, he burned it. Why did he burn it? Because this oxen powered his old life. The yoke, did you see this? The oxen powered his old life, but the yoke was the structure that kept him attached to it. So he kills the oxen and he burns the yoke. What do you mean? Sometimes we deal with the behavior, but preserve the infrastructure. We stop doing something, but we keep everything necessary to return to it. What do you mean? We get out of the relationship, but we keep the number. We keep the access. We keep the relationship. We keep the account. We keep the excuse. We keep the options. I need you to see that Elisha didn't just sacrifice what was pulling him in the direction that was far from God. Baby, he burnt what would reconnect him to it. No, no tip. I need you to see.

He burns what would reconnect him to it. Some of us is not the relationship. It's the yoke. It's the thing that attaches to a set, and so many of us are following Jesus with Plan B. We're following Jesus or trying to follow Jesus with, with, with, with just in case plans. What a yoke is available. Guess I'm gonna say this way. Elisha said, "I gotta make coming back expensive." I'm not here with him saying. Can I tell you why we go back, say it? 'Cause the price of a mission is cheap. We've made the price to return cheap. What would happen if you burned it? What would happen if you learned really went through your life, and you know you absolutely know what's holding you back? You didn't get rid of it. You just kind of put it in the cupboard and close the door. But what would happen if you burned everything that prevented you from actually following? What would happen if you destroyed the bridges that you knew you sent me walking over in the first place? Well, we don't destroy those bridges 'cause I need a easy return in case this gets hard. And the reason why some of us, Lady B,

can't go through tough seasons is because we got bridges that aren't burned yet. Because here's what I discovered. When the bridges burns, it requires dependency on the Holy Spirit. And we never get to a place where we learn how to depend on the Holy Spirit, 'cause we got too many stuff that's not burned. And here's where the people get it. If you don't burn it, you may end up burned. We got to make returning expensive. So this is one question. What do you need to burn so you don't yoke yourself again? What do you need to burn? So you can't yoke yourself again to the thing that's driving you. So last week was about coming alive. Today's about moving forward and burning that stuff that you don't need in your life. Amen? Did you guys enjoy this? (applause) Come on, let's pray. God, thank you so much for your faithfulness. Thank you, God, for your goodness and your mercy. Thank you for your grace. Father, would you reveal to us the things that need to be burned up and give us the audacity and the courage

to actually set it on fire? To actually come to a place where we're like, I don't want to have easy access to my past. I want to go where you're calling me to go. I want to make returning expensive so that my only choice is to follow you. Thank you, God. Lift you up. Be praised. In Jesus' name, be praised. And we'll pray for one more person, one more person. I want to pray for a person today who is making a decision that your old life can no longer have you, that you have been going back and forth with this version of life for too long. Today, like you know what I'm just going to move forward, I'm actually going to follow Jesus. I'm going to trust Him and I'm going to go after Him with everything that I've got. I think this is your moment. I don't care how far you think you've wanted off. How messed up you think you've got. The reality is that God loves you, man. He's for you and he's with you. And I believe he's set up this moment in this time so that you can give your life to Him. So this isn't a place of judgment, it's a place of freedom. So there's a lot of debates that goes on in the world. One of them being this thing about heaven and hell, are they real or are they not?

The reality is they're both real. Here's the myth. God is an ascension, neither one. You actually get to decide where you go and we choose to go to heaven when we make this decision. Jesus, I need you to come into my life. See, God's not mad, actually. He's mad about you. His has this desire to give you a plan in the future, a hope and a destiny. And that happens when you say, "Jesus, man, I'm a sinner. I'm a need of a saviour. I need you to come into my life." And I'm not saying that everything is going to be perfect, but I am saying you'll get a peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace that this world can't give and this world can't take away. A joy that is just unspeakable. You'll let me know what's happening. And it's not that your world has changed, but that you're changing from the inside. So I want to give you that moment today. Maybe even now your heart's racing. You're like, "What's this?" And simply, "Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart." With one question, he wants to know, "Will you allow him to come live with you?" See, Jesus is a perfect gentleman. So he doesn't come by intrusion. He doesn't come by invasion.

He comes by an invitation. And the invitation is that, "Jesus, man, I need you. You do one for me." Here's what heaven says that when one person gives their life to Jesus, that all of heaven begins to rejoice. I'm going to give you a moment because the reality is, that's my main job as a pastor, is to make sure that you spend eternity with Jesus. Because there's an expiration date of your life. At one point, you are going to take your last breath. And when you do, you got to know that I'm going to spend eternity with Jesus. And if you don't know that today, let's do it now. Let's make that decision now. It's not going to do anything scary. I'm not going to ask you to stand up or come to the front instead. I'm going to ask you to raise your hand on the count of three and say, "That's me past. I'm going to give my life to Jesus today." And we're going to go crazy. But it's one thing that I'm going to ask you to do. And that's just say your faith confession. Because Jesus says, "You confess me before, man. I'll confess you before my father." And so if that's you today, like that's me, man, I'm ready to do this. Don't make this about no one to your left. Don't make this about no one to your right. Let's make this about you and me and the father right now.

So if that's you, when they count on three, I want you to raise your hand as high as you can. And we're going to celebrate. We're going to go crazy. If that's you and the count of three, one, God loves you. Two, your life will never be the same. Three, if that's you, raise your hand. Come on, we got one there. I love it. We got one here. Come on, come on, come on. If there's anyone else, we got another one up front. Come on, hallelujah, God. We got another one over there and the back one over there. Come on, hallelujah, God. Come on, let's get ready to say this. We got to say, "God, today, I give you my life. I believe in my heart and confess some of my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord." Come on, let's celebrate. Let's go crazy. Man, God is so incredible, guys. Thank you so much for being here. I can't wait to see you this Wednesday at what time? 715 we want to gather for a word a chameleon. It's gonna be absolutely incredible. I love you guys so much got behind bars We love you see you guys this week Thanks for watching! (soft music) (soft music)
