Here's today's message. Are you glad to be in God's house? Anybody got confident trust in the Lord today? Come on, look at somebody next to you and say, I got confident trust. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What I'm going through is not stopping my trust. This summer heat ain't stopping my trust in the Lord. If you're new to social, that is our word for 2026, that we're gonna have trust in the Lord. And it's confident trust. And that word comes straight from Scripture. And so to remind ourselves every single Sunday of this year, we have declared Hebrews chapter 10 verses 35 through 37. And we're gonna read it together as a family with uplifted voices. Again, I'm just glad to be back, y'all. I'm glad to be back. So come on, let's read our verse of the year. Remember, you don't go till I say. Oh, you know, good. So, it's confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it gives you. Patience is what you need. So, if you will continue to do this, then you will receive all that He has promised. For in just a little while, the coming one will come and not delay. Come on, if you believe the coming one is coming, give Him some praise. Social, are you ready for the Word of God? I hope you are, because here's what I

have learned over our five-year journey of leading this church, is that God often assigns voices for the journey. You're gonna hear from somebody today that's not just coming to bring a sermon. She is a voice to this house. We don't have guest speakers. We have family, and this is her fourth time with us. Our auntie Charlotte Gamble is in the building, y'all. I'm telling you, get your expectancy up. Every time she preaches, she comes to our house with a laser-pointed prophetic word, and this is one today. So, you know how we do. We pull on everything that the preacher has for us today. Social, would you help me make welcome Charlotte Gamble? Come on, y'all. Hey, hey, hey. Good morning, good morning. Stay on your feet, would you, just for a few moments longer. It is an honor, and I don't say that lightly, to be entrusted with this space, but it's double honor to be included in this family. I get to preach the Word and minister the Word in lots of different places, but there are certain places where you go there, and God's like, okay, this was not a passing fruit. This was a connection because of a bigger purpose, and when I first met your pastors, I don't know, they stole a piece of my heart. I would lay awake thinking about them, praying for them, realizing that God is asking something huge of them, which means they need a lot of prayer coverage for what is ahead of them. So, to come four-plus years ago and now stand here and see the momentum, see the fulfillment of things that God began to speak back then, see the realization of what has happened because of their yes. I don't know that you know it, so I'm just gonna say it. You're actually part of something miraculous. This is not just a gathering in a theater. This is a move of God, and you have been included. in something that God has predestined to shake Dallas and beyond and I don't want you to be in this room thinking this is just a service in fact I'm just gonna say it because we're family so family to say stuff like visitors don't you know family come over they say stuff and you're like okay I know my mom said that last week but now auntie's here she's saying it and I just want to say to somebody right at the get-go it's time to stop visiting social like stop visiting start planting like this is not a drop-in when you feel like you need a pickup

and if that has been your experience of social thus far I'm thankful that God has been able to use this house to help pick you up but now I need to let you know it's time to grow up like there's a there's a growing up that has to happen in God like you meet him he becomes your Lord and Savior and then you're supposed to let this book begin to now be the guide for your life we pick and choose what we want out of this book according to how we feel but that's not how God designed this he designed this as the instruction manual for every aspect of your life and some of you are using this for partial instructions that's why your life is not being built right it's why your marriage is not built right it's why your finances are not built right because you're picking and choosing out of this but that's like buying a unit from a manufacturer taking it home to build it and then just deciding well I'll put this screw in but I won't put this one in I'll put this piece on but I won't put that piece on then you go to put weight on it and the thing collapses and you're like why did it collapse I want my money back no you don't get your money back because you didn't read the instruction manual he wants all of it he wants every part of your life he wants your relational world he wants your emotional world he wants your financial world he wants every part of your life to come under the sound of this book and whatever part you think you're good with I got this God I know what I'm doing I'm just telling you there will come a moment when the weight will hit that part and you will soon find out whether you built according to his manual or your own manual and I just feel some of you today the area God wants to confront right up top is hey you are not planted you are not planted your roots are not down you are church hopping and God has sent me maybe today just to say to some of you it's time to stop the reason why things in your life keep collapsing is because there's no roots in the ground and you need to choose to come home put your roots down show up serve give it's all in the manual of how you grow a great life God we thank you for this book and God we start right at the top by saying we're sorry for where we've picked and chosen what we want to receive and left within these pages what we feel we know better God your word is not like man's we're sorry where we've made it be like another's opinion God teach us help us to apply this word into every aspect of our life God for the one right now that knows I am not planted I pray no condemnation over them I just pray a motivation awakens within them to fix what they can fix today

put roots down that they desperately need to put down God this house is built on your word but God your word says we should not just be hearers of it for there's no good in that unless we become doers of it let this be a doing house let us hear it and let us do it let us understand it and let us grab a hold of it and God in these next few moments I pray as your word goes forth there would be a doing of your word that follows I pray It'll be a response today in this house to what Your Word is asking that provokes some people in this room, if not every person in this room, to make decisions that they have been procrastinating over. Let this be a marking moment. God, I pray as always, help me be invisible. Let the only one visible and audible be You, God. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. You may take your seats. I love how God works because I didn't know that you're about to tip into a series on trust issues. So I guess God sent me to give you the trailer before the movie because I wanna speak to you about an area that if you don't trust Him in, every other area is gonna be a problem in your life. What I wanna put into you today, social, is a word that I wish someone had put into me a lot earlier, an understanding that has changed my life and the way I do my life, that actually, if I'd have grabbed it earlier, would have saved me from a lot of wastage in certain areas of my life.

In Psalm 90, verse 12, Moses says something that you could almost skim past thinking it's not significant. But I want you to understand what he's saying when he prays this prayer, would you teach me, God? Would you teach us, God, how to number our days? One version says how to number our days right. In other words, there is a way that you can number your days wrong. And I wanna help some of you today understand how God sees your days versus often how our world sees our days. God does not see time like you and I see time. God actually sits outside of time. And therefore, how we see our days and how we see our time is not the way that the maker and the creator of the universe views our time. And I want today for you to understand the economy of your life, the economics of your life, how God wants you to spend your life because some of you today need to understand the reason you're frustrated is because you're spending your life incorrectly. When I was a little girl, my Scottish grandmother used to give me pocket money once a week when we went to see her. She'd get a dollar bill and she'd put it in my hand and she'd give me this pocket money. And every time she put the money in my hand,

she would say these words, now, Charlotte, spend it wisely. Spend it wisely. Well, at four years of age, going to the candy store and blowing the entire amount of money she just gave me was wisely, was a wise decision for the four-year-old to load up on the sugar that my mother would not purchase for me. But how many of you know, when I graduated past being four, when I become older and I get a little bit more mature, I realized that what I thought at age four was wisely was in fact stupid. And there is a maturing in Christ that God wants for all of us so that we can spend our life wisely. But if we don't mature, if we don't grow up in the things of God, we will continue to spend our life on the equivalent of candy that will only rot your teeth, that will only destroy your future because we've not yet graduated to understand how God spends versus how we spent. In other words, we can spend hours scrolling social media and moments reading His Word. We can spend hours and days and years chasing and pursuing and striving after the riches and the status that our world tells us matters and miss the identity we already have as a son and daughter of the Most High God, which should give us security

that stops us striving in our insecurity. When we don't understand how God sees our life, we begin to miss spend our life. And I wanna help some of you today who are exhausted because you're spending. your energy on the wrong things that will never give you back the amount that you poured into them you're spending hours of your time on your life on people that will never give you one cent back of what you poured into their life you're spending all your time and energy and anxiety in things that will never produce fruitfulness for your future and you have to be able to see how God spends is not how the world spends for a large part of my life I've lived in two different nations as you can tell from my voice I'm not from these parts and so growing up and living in England and that be my home for over 30 years and growing up there I spent a lot of my time in the United Kingdom but I also because God had called me spent a lot of time in the USA so because I was in two nations all the time I had an app on my phone and the app on my phone was called a currency converter because I would keep switching between countries I'd have to keep switching in my currency and if I didn't have the app on my phone I would make an assumption and the assumption was that if I had 20 pounds in my English currency that would obviously because it was 20 be the same as $20 in the American currency but the currency app would let me know no no no no no each currency keeps changing in its value based on the stability of that government so at any given time the 20 pounds could be worth more than $20 or if our currency and economically we weren't doing well in the United Kingdom my $20 could be worth less my 20 pounds could be worth less than $20 so I had to keep looking on the app because I don't know what the value actually is of the 20s I'm holding in my hands and I need you to know you are here on earth but the currency of your life is not based on the economics of this nation because this is not your home the currency of your life is based on the citizenship which is yours through your birthright in God which is yours through your inheritance through your heavenly father your life is not based on the currency of the world is based on the currency of heaven which means you don't spend like the world spends which means you've got to understand and it's a trust issue because God doesn't flash the cash like man flashes the cash God's not spending in the way the world is spending and so we have to be tested

in our trust of him let me give you an example heaven sent its very best God's only son for heaven's absolute worst sinner that makes no sense in earth's economy no one on earth is saying I'm gonna give my absolute best for the worst of the worst person in my neighborhood no one on earth is thinking that's a smart way to budget your life but heaven doesn't spend like earth spends Jesus says I'm gonna leave the 99 and I'm gonna go after one that makes no sense in a world that says I got 99 I'm doing good I'm gonna maximize my 99 I'm gonna post on social media about my 99 I'm gonna let everybody know I have 99 God's like I don't care about the 99 they're in they're saved I care that you go after the one but in our world we don't want to leave our 99 good stuff to go find the one lost stuff Bible economics are the first shall be last and the last shall be first it makes no sense in a world that is trying to step over you to get to the top of the ladder that they want to be ahead of you on it says he gives you beauty for your ashes where in the world are you gonna find someone that will make that transaction this is the way heaven spends and it's important that we learn this lesson or we're gonna miss some things that God has for you Jesus came to earth and he came to give us eternity with God but one of the lessons he taught by being here on earth that we often miss is he taught us stewardship Jesus was this perfect example of how to spend your life correctly guys Jesus had three years of public ministry just three socials five years old he only had three years and in three years jesus accomplished everything he was sent to accomplish every conversation every place every person every meeting every disciple in three years jesus did everything that was required by heaven to be done you can't do that unless you know how to spend your life how heaven needs you to spend your life we would waste our time with the wrong people and miss the right people but jesus was so in tune with the father he knew so he got around the people that didn't like him criticized him questioned him and jesus realizes i know you want to tease me and i know you want to call me into a conversation that will keep me but because i know how heaven spends i'm shaking the dust off my feet and i'm moving on because this is not a good spending of my energy some of y'all are in group chats and in relationships discussing things you ought not to be discussing criticizing things you ought not to be criticizing and you don't realize you're wasting the currency god entrusted to you so jesus is saying to the disciples look i'm not always going to be here so i'm trying to

teach you something trying to teach you a lesson you get in an environment like this you shake the dust off your feet and you get out of there because there's someone to reach and there's somewhere to go nor was jesus impressed by the crowds when the crowds are cheering him and loving his message and everyone's camped around him and miracles are happening jesus didn't say you know what this feels good everybody likes me here i'm gonna stay longer here this is good for our profile let's get some social media posts going on this is good right now for our marketing jesus realized even though you love me if i'm not supposed to be a day longer here then i'm not staying a day longer here i gotta go where i gotta go jesus knew which is why he took a detour and spoke to a man up a tree that no one else would have stopped and talked to but jesus understood i speak to you you're gonna speak to all of them in the economy of heaven zekias was crucial to what needed to happen that's why he stopped and spoke to a woman at a well because the woman at the well went and reached the entire community on behalf of jesus he understood how to spend his life i'm trying to help some of you because you think you got all the time in the world and i can't even guarantee you tomorrow and i know he's coming back and right now every breath that comes out of your mouth every day you get to live on this planet it is a currency of heaven's entrustment to you and the bible says we will give account for the way we lived our life now it's important you understand how heaven spends because if you don't you're gonna get offended at some things god's gonna ask you we're family right i love you you love me so don't leave the building when it gets uncomfortable they're just some things that god's gonna ask you and you're gonna think why in the world would he ask me to do that because in your brain it has no value because you're spending how the world spends which is why it's a trust issue to understand if god's asking there must be something i'm not seeing see when god asks a young boy to take bread and cheese if you think to yourself i don't do bread and cheese you miss the very path that leads you to the goliath that becomes the defining moment of your future but it didn't start with a giant called goliath it started with an errand called bread and cheese but if you don't see bread and cheese the way god sees bread and cheese you'll never meet your goliaths so i want to talk to you about the ask god's asking some stuff today i'm i'm speaking but he's gonna put his finger on some stuff he's asking from you today

the disciples had to learn this real fast Because Jesus would ask them stuff and they're like, really, are you kidding me? Like crowds gathered. Jesus is teaching, miracles are happening. And Jesus turns to the disciples, he's like, how are you gonna feed them? Disciples are like, excuse me, I don't do sandwiches. I'm Peter, I'm a big deal around here. Isn't there an intern that can do that? I'm asking you to go find food for the people. Yeah, but Jesus, I'm ready to preach a moment if you're tired. I'm ready to take the microphone if you need me. I don't need you to take the microphone, disciples. I need you to go and find hamburgers for the crowd. See, if you don't understand the ask, you're gonna miss the miracle he's trying to include you in. So it took a little boy to embarrass the disciples and say, I know you all think you're too important, but I wonder if the ask is actually my involvement in something bigger. So there's a moment when Jesus is with the disciples. It's another ask moment. It's a really important day in that journey with Jesus. I mean, it's one of the good days. The disciples had some bad days with Jesus, some persecution days with Jesus, some beaten up days with Jesus, some people hating on them days with Jesus.

So when it was a good day, everyone was like, thank Jesus, it's a good day. This is a good day. This was gonna be a good day. Jesus was going to ride in to Jerusalem on that donkey and he was gonna be making it known, I am the Messiah. This was the day when critics would be silenced and people would be in awe and the disciples had waited for this moment. So you can imagine getting up early with Jesus, like, let's go. It's like, let's do this, Jesus, let's go. They're like, where do you need me? What do you want me to do? So in Matthew 21, it says, as they approached Jerusalem, Jesus looked at two of his disciples. He said, hey, boys, here's your job for the day. I need you to go to the village ahead and I need you when you get there to go find a donkey that's tied up. It also has a colt with her. I need you to untie them and I need you to bring them to me. I don't know if you read the Bible like I read the Bible, but I imagine in that moment, the disciples were thinking, are you kidding me right now? I'm on donkey duty. This is the day that we've all been waiting for and you're sending me to go pick up some random guy's donkey and the colt.

And by the way, this guy doesn't even know that I'm coming. Like, Jesus, this is awkward. Do you know that Jesus uses people to ask awkward questions? Just in case you wondered, if Pastor Robert wakes up and goes, oh, I can't wait to ask them to give millions to the building. Oh, I'm so excited. Can't wait on Sunday to tell him we need another 2 million. No, it's awkward. Like Jesus, if you went and told them to give the donkey, they're gonna give the donkey cause you Jesus. But I'm just a disciple and you want me to go tell him to give the donkey to me? Like, this is awkward. The dude's gonna argue with me. This is just not a fun task on a big day. I need you to understand. God makes some asks of us that don't feel grand. They don't feel important. They don't feel significant. If I'm honest, at times they feel beneath us. Like, really me go fetch donkeys? And some of you need to know today, God is after your donkey. In fact, he doesn't just know you have a donkey. He also knows you have a colt. See, some of you are like, yes, Jesus, you can use my donkey, but you're not letting on

that you have a colt in the garage. You know, the colt is the younger, the newer, the nicer. It's like you having your old beat up truck on the drive saying, yes, Pastor Robert, you can take my old truck, but you don't let him know about the new colt there in the garage. Jesus is like, I know you have a donkey and I know you have a colt. And I'm asking for you to release them. I think God's after some of you releasing some stuff today. He's after your donkey. He's after your colt. He's after you serving. He's after your gift. He's after your talent, that gift that you have. You've given your job for the last 15 years in hope for a promotion that has never come, in hope for a few extra dollars. That company that if you drop dead tomorrow will replace you and not even think twice about you. But you gave them your soul. He's after your donkey. Some of you, your donkey's your tithe. Hmm. That's the part of the Bible you don't like reading. Let's just be honest. I'll just skip back those pages. I'm sure it's not relevant. Oh, it's relevant.

God can do more with your 10% than you can do with your 100%. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. It's your donkey. Listen to me. God's not short of donkeys. I mean, he could just drop one out the sky. He's God. He could just say the word donkey appear and a donkey would appear. That's why you gotta understand there's always something bigger going on. God makes an ask of us. And after the ask, here's the thing. You're gonna have some questions. There's been many times in the Word of God when God has made an ask of a man or a woman of God and they've had questions and rightly so because like God, this is a trust test, right? I have some questions. Like why my donkey? Why now? Remember Abraham? Abraham, I want you to take the son, the promised son. I want you to take him and I want you to put a knife in him.

I have some questions. This does not sound right. How am I supposed to explain this? Imagine being Noah. Noah, I need you to build an ark. What's an ark? I'll let you know what an ark is. Okay, it's because there's rain coming. What's rain? He never heard of rain. I have some questions, God. They seem valid questions. I have some questions. Jesus knew when these boys went to get the donkey, there would be some questions because he told them, hey, when you get there, they might ask you some questions and if they do, just tell them I sent you. They might have a question but if they do, just tell them I sent you and then they'll release it. I need you to know it's okay if when God asks you, you have a moment when you have a question. I remember leading a ministry in the United Kingdom. It'd take me years to build. Started it with three women, got it up to thousands and thousands of women in a huge arena and in England, that was just not heard of. People were flying in from all over the world to come to it and it had been blood, sweat and tears to get it where it was but now finally, it's like fun. Was not fun for a long time but now it was fun

and I remember standing in the midst of all the fun that we had built for all these years and I remember so clearly God saying, I'm done. I need you to lay it down. I'm like, are you kidding me? I mean, I'd have laid it down gladly year two. I'd have got rid of that sucker year four. Like I wanted, I didn't want that thing at year six but now, year 12, year 30, like now I'm just enjoying it. Really, now, I have some questions and I began to realize that what God had required from me when I began this, what this was when it began, it was for a purpose that God had but now it was not outliving that purpose. It had done, the purpose was done and God was like, I have something else I need. I have another donkey I need you to go fetch so you're gonna have to lay this one down and you're gonna have to go get a donkey. I was like, I don't wanna start again. I just made this successful. Why would you ask me to leave success and go get another mule? Because my economics are not your economics. You gotta trust me. So the disciples, they go and get the donkey. The guy asks the question, why? And here's the answer. See, God doesn't mind your question if you don't mind his answer.

He says, if anyone says anything to you, if they ask the question about the donkey, this is what I need you to tell them. Say the Lord needs them and he will send them right away. Let me put that in our language. If anyone asks why I need the donkey, here's what I want you to tell them. Because I said so. Any of you got little kids, grandkids and you've laid some laws down in your family, some principles like bedtime or whatever it might be. You're like, this is the rules for our family and they keep asking and they keep asking and they keep asking. And eventually one of the parents in the household says, listen, because I said so. There is no more explanation coming. I am the adult, you are the child. I know stuff you don't know in this house this rule is here because I said so and there are just some things in God that the answer back to your question is because I said so I am God and you are not why do I have to tithe because I said so why do I have to forgive because I said so why do I need to repent because I said so I know some stuff you don't know do you trust me or don't you watch this this is why you have to trust his answer because I said so but if you read in Zechariah 9 verse 9 this is a prophecy a messianic prophecy which has been prophesied years and years and years before this moment in time so now I'm gonna read you the prophecy that was spoken way prior to this moment which these disciples have no clue about rejoice greatly daughter Zion shout daughter Jerusalem see your king comes to you righteous and victorious lowly and riding on a what on a donkey on a

cult the foal of a donkey wait a minute wait a minute what you're telling me is that this dude's donkey was being given the opportunity to play a major role in the fulfillment of a messianic prophecy this wasn't just a give me your donkey this was a how would you like for you and your donkey to be recorded in a book that will outlive you to be recorded in things that will be taught way beyond you how would you like your donkey to be mentioned in Dallas at a church service in August how would you like your donkey to be talked about in a room with people in the year 2026 how would you like your donkey to be part of something way bigger but here's what we do because we don't understand the ask we keep our donkey to carry our stuff when our donkey could have carried the Savior of the world I'm gonna keep my money to build my kingdom when your money could have been used by God to build his kingdom and by the way when you build his kingdom the Bible says seek his kingdom first and all that stuff he'll add to you anyway remember the innkeepers knock at the door late at night open the door business dudes they keep ins it's busy everyone's traveling for the census open the door big pregnant lady on the back of a mule tired dude next to her have you got a room business guy thinks no you know why cuz I'm good at my job I'm successful filled my in sold all the rooms made some good money I don't need to deal with you cuz I already got a full house so there's no room at the end oh but if you'd seen it with heaven's economy you are having the greatest business opportunity you could ever imagine knock on your door cuz imagine being the in that advertisers come stay here where the Savior of the world was born in the stable I don't know what he's asking but if you think it's beneath you it's a trust issue this was not just asking for a donkey this was a do you want to be involved in something bigger do you want your story to be weaved into his story do you want your lunch to be used for something greater do you want your boat to be used for something bigger Do you want the oil in that pantry to be used to fill other vessels? Do you want what it is that I've given you to be spent on the world's terms or on my terms? Look what it says

about what happened when the donkey was released and the Savior got on its back The disciples did as Jesus had instructed them They brought the donkey and the colt Placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on and a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from trees and spread them on the road and the crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted Hosanna To the Son of David Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest heaven verse 10 Hear me well When Jesus entered Jerusalem The whole city was stirred And everyone began to ask who is this? I'm not sure how you think a city is stirred I'm Not sure how you think revival happens But let me help you a little It doesn't happen with some great gift and talent taking a platform Because Jesus surely in himself was the greatest gift and the greatest talent and yet he still called twelve He still used a lunch He still borrowed a tune. He still sat in someone's borrowed boat He still went and used someone's mule The way miracles happen the way cities are stirred is that everybody Begins to get the revelation. I have something he needs to borrow I Know your second service So, I know you probably had a little extra time in bed Maybe an extra latte

Took your time getting in here And I'm not judging But I just want to let you know. I Have the run sheet of today And on my run sheet, I know there were people here at 5 a.m Why? Because someone's got to borrow a donkey Someone's got to loan their donkey. Your kids don't get looked after unless someone shows up to set up a room Worship doesn't happen until someone plugs some stuff in We can't reach All that God's asking us to reach relying on Pastor Rob and Pastor Taylor to do all the hard lifting The worship team to carry all the weight a few volunteers a portion of the church to give Can I say this to you this way? If I lived in your house I ate out of your refrigerator. I Sat on your sofa. I Rested my head on a bed in your house But Then I got up Went about my life Took care of everything outside of the home, but never contributed a penny To the house that I'm helping myself to the food in the refrigerator. I'm sitting on the sofa I'm like, oh I come here to get food. I come here. You would say to me Excuse me But if you're gonna eat my food and sit on my sofa, I need you to contribute Cuz that's what makes the house work This is God's house His refrigerator His sofa

His living room And cuz he's a good father. He looks at every one of his kids says hey, I Need you to contribute Cuz you a part of this family and in this house, we all put something in God has given you pastors And I know They've had to say okay, you can have my donkey Can I just tell you you probably know this but I'll just let you know You have one of the greatest communicators on the planet As your pastor He wouldn't say that about himself, so I'm just gonna say it about him Y'all know he doesn't need to do this He could be anywhere Pastor Taylor Robert could be anywhere people would have them in their churches every Sunday if they could It will be a lot simpler for them. It will be a lot easier for them Take it from someone who's pastored for over 30 years So all I'm telling you is When God gives you a gift and you're like, I want to be part of this family Then we all have to contribute because the work is heavy. The load is heavy But when we all bring our donkey the burden becomes light So if this is your home Where's your donkey? Where's your donkey and your tithe? Where's your donkey and your servant? I mean you're about to go into 21 days of prayer and Fasting and here's what I would ask as an auntie to the family Here's a good prayer. God, what do you want me to bring? What donkey is it time for me to release? And God if you want the cult too, you can have it because I would rather have you ride on the back Of my donkey than me use it for the things. I think it should be used for It's time to our feet all across the house

Might say well, that's not what I was expecting this morning You Just feel sometimes God's like hey, I love you so much. I want to help grow you up. I need you. He needs you. He needs your hands, your feet, your voice There are thousands out there Who are sinners? lost confused And he wants to send them in the house But in order to send them in the house We have to have the ones that are now saved mature and get out the nursery because we need to put them in the nursery Close your eyes right where you're at God we know you're here. Holy Spirit we feel you so tangibly God we're standing in the midst of a miracle This didn't just happen This miracle is the result of sacrifice and A lot of donkeys being released But God I pray today that you would awaken every single one of your sons and daughters To the part you have for them to play in the much bigger picture of what you're doing in and through this house God I pray for any that are struggling With that decision that they know would release something and yet fear is Causing them to hold on to what faith would release God I pray for the one that says well, I I gave you my donkey, but God today you're after that colt God I pray today. We would understand if you are asking It's not because you're trying to get something from us. It's because you're trying to get something to us And I pray over this trust issue series That our trust would deepen and that deepening would be evidenced in our release. I pray for a release financially in this house

God there are resources among resources upon resources right here in this room and God I thank you. I thank you for all that's been released to this point, but God there's another wave I sense there's another wave, but it's going to require another level of trust God I pray for every heart to be open every hand to be open I Pray God we would not mistake the ask For something less than what we deserve, but realize it's an invitation into something greater than we could ever dream or imagine Pray for the one chasing success Pray today they would let that die And realize their security is in you, not in the promotion. Pray for the one that's gripping hold of their life, trying to keep it all together. I pray today that trust would kick in and release would come. I pray for the one that's wrongly defined success. I pray today to let heaven's account redefine their life. Some of you just need to surrender afresh today, just right where you are. God, I surrender. I surrender that part of you that I haven't surrendered for too long. God, I pray in this moment over Pastor Robert and Taylor. God, you've rested anointing on their lives, an anointing that breaks yokes. And God, I pray in this season, as they have set aside 21 days, God, I pray for fresh anointing to rest on both of them. They've come out of a season of taking time out for their family, but God, as they press into this new season for this family, God, I pray it would be like a supernatural wind is behind them. God, I pray you would propel them into opportunity, and I pray you would speed up and hasten conversations. God, things that they feel are time locked, I pray you would release right now in the things to them quicker than they thought would happen. God, I pray where they've set a deadline for things to happen. God, you would already speed up the answer so they have to set new deadlines because

the old deadline is already met. God, I pray there will be a grace in this season of things happening quickly, but the quickly is also a deeply. I pray for a deeply in the hearts of the people of this house. I pray for a deeply in the amen of this house. I pray for a deeply in the commitment in this house. I pray for the team and the volunteers and the dream team. God, I pray for a quickening of something to happen in this season. God, you are speeding things up in the natural, but God, I pray as the speed in the natural increases, there will be a deepening in the spiritual. I pray for fresh revelation over Pastor Robert. I pray he would open the Word and see things he has never seen before. And I pray as he speaks those words, there will be the unlocking of things that have been locked up for years. I pray there will be such a boldness on both Pastor Taylor and Pastor Robert that even in seasons and in moments that are ahead of them where hard decisions have to be made, God, there'd be such a courage and a confidence that comes out of their mouth that has a holy fire behind it. Surround them, God. Surround them. Surround them with the right voices and the right people. God, protect them from the wrong people and the wrong voices. God, I thank you for their obedience. And I thank you for a house that has said yes to this vision. Almost home. I pray people will go home tonight and that would ring in their ears. And at the same time as it rings in their ears, almost home, I pray they'd have a revelation that the almost is attached to their willingness. Some people can't come home until you bring your donkey. Some people can't be reached until you lay down your gift.

Some things can't happen until you step out of what you're in and step into what God has for you. Some things can't get done until you empty your hands of what you're busy with and pick up your hands what God is asking for you. There are some things that are going to require a decision from some of you in this room in this season so that we can get home. As eyes are closed, I'm going to ask one final thing. I don't know where you're at with God, but right at the start of this sermon, I said something I didn't plan to say, which is some of you need to stop church hopping. You need to come home. For some of you, that means actually making the first decision, which is, God, I am not anymore jumping in and out of Christianity, but I'm following you. Following you means planting. If following you means changing, if following you means repenting, then God, I'm all in today. And if today you need to get your heart right with God, today you need to come home like a prodigal, or for the first time say, God, I'm giving you full control. As eyes are closed, if that's you today, all around this room, just ask Him to lift your hands and ask me today, I gotta get this right. I gotta get God first again. I gotta get the priorities right again. There's just some things that are not in alignment. Come on, He gave His life for you. You can lift your hand for Him if that's you. So many hands. Just take that same hand, put it on your heart.

I'm gonna pray this prayer. Make it your own. God, I thank you. You gave your absolute best for me. You gave heaven's best for earth's worst, and God, I was in that worst. God, I don't deserve it, and I know I can't earn it, but God, today I am choosing to receive your forgiveness, and God, I'm choosing to receive your grace and mercy. Thank you, Jesus, for giving your all so I can have it all in this moment. I can have a restoration. I can have a resurrection of hope in my heart and dreams in my life. God, I thank you today that as lives are connecting with you, destinies are changing. The trajectory of people's future are changing. In this decision are not just them, but their children's children. And so, God, I thank you for every person being honest in this moment. God, meet them right where they're at. Forgiveness, grace, mercy, and a brand new start. In the name of Jesus, amen and amen. Thank you, Jesus.
