Delivered And Delusional // Forward (Part 3) // Pastor Michael Todd

What's going on, family? Today is a day to celebrate because it is our church anniversary. And whether you have ever been here before or you watch faithfully on the Pando app or you're planning on coming as soon as God releases you from this season, I wanna let you know this is your church anniversary too. We celebrate every salvation, every move of God, everything he's doing right there where you're at. And today, I think I have a message that's gonna help some of you move forward. It's the word of the year and I believe it's the anthem of your heart that you don't wanna stay in the same place and that God has a desire for you to reach a promised land, a destiny. But remember, you can be delivered from one thing but still be in delusion. Today's message is gonna help you. Get ready. All right, y'all get y'all Bibles out. It's time for the word today. I'm gonna do a quick work in this place today but this is about to be strong because the Holy Spirit told me that the anniversary was a line of demarcation. I wanna put this in your heart and your mind. After this Sunday, everything changes. Y'all didn't hear what I said

because I just came out of a lighthearted movie moment. Hear what I'm saying. Welcome to Transformation Church. Today, we're going forward. The message today changes everything because this year as a church, we have decided we are going forward. Say it again. We are going. Forward. I called my brother Travis before I announced the word of the year to y'all because the name of their church is Forward City. And I was like, I gotta tell you before I tell anybody, brother, we going forward this year. And it's there's something about making a decision before you get to a place that I'm not staying here. I'm gonna say it again. There's something about making a decision before you get to a place that this will not be where I camp out. So some of y'all are like, I wanna make six figures. Great. But you need to make a decision that six figures will not be the stopping point. It will be a place of praise. It will be a place of celebration. It will be a place of, some of y'all be like, I just wanna be a better person. Okay, that's great.

We want you to progress in that, but that cannot be your stopping point. You have to decide I'm going forward even when I reach my goal. And most people stop because they dream, they have a vision, they have foresight to a spot, and then they go blank. And I have seen the church be paralyzed because they get to a certain place and then they stop believing God the way they did before they got to the place that they're at right now. But today I want you to know that as a church, we're going forward. This is not the pinnacle of ministry. Relationship goals is not my best book. Oh God. I have not impacted the world how I'm gonna impact the world. Me and my wife's marriage is not the best it's ever gonna be. It's better than it's ever been. Don't get it twisted, but this ain't it. We are going forward. Some of y'all can't even see it. You're just so happy to not be surviving anymore that you have stopped believing for more. You're so grateful, and I'm glad that you're grateful for being out of Egypt that you haven't seen past the wilderness.

Oh God. You have stopped believing that God can take you for, just because he did exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask to think does not mean that's all he can do. Just because he saved you out of that doesn't mean that he wants you to stay at a lukewarm state of just being in this place. This is where you have to decide that I want the full plan of God for my life, not just the saved plan. There's a difference from him saving you and you learning to swim. Okay. Ah. If somebody gets in a boat that can't swim, gets thrown over the boat, is drowning, I'm about to die, I'm about to die, and somebody saves you, you are grateful for that buoy or that life raft. Thank you for saving me. That does not change your situation every time you get on a boat. The only way you are unafraid of water is that you learn. And too many believers are now taking the life raft that they got saved with and relaxing on it. You become so comfortable with it, now you done put your booty in it and you land. back with a mocktail talking about this is the life and God said you still don't know

how to swim you don't you still don't know how to get to shore you still don't know how to get to the boat and today I want all of us to decide in my life in my marriage in my spiritual walk I'm moving shouted at me so and that's why Philippians 312 said this is our verse of the year I don't mean to say this like I've already achieved all these things I haven't reached perfection that's how I'm coming at you today but I press on to possess the perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me no dear brothers and sisters I'm not trying to act perfect I'm not achieved all of this but I focus on this one thing forgetting the past and looking shouted at me for to what lies ahead I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God through Christ Jesus is calling us look at your neighbor and say God's calling you yeah look at your neighbor you didn't like as much the first time and now tell them God's calling you that's awkward ain't it okay here we go I started to think about the children of Israel and how we get a picture of what God wants to do in all of our lives when we walk through them I want you to go through Isaiah verse 43 and read from 15 all the way to 19 but but but this is your study at home okay I want you to take this but let me paraphrase it for you what's happening is God is reminding the children of Israel yo I'm a big God I took you out of slavery I literally parted the seas had free willy and everybody going on the sides of y'all while y'all walk through on dry land he said I'm the God that took you out of wilderness I'll make ways out of no ways I move mountains I remember who I am and he's telling them that I'm the one that brought your enemy out and blew him out like a candlestick I took care of all your back that's who I am and he's telling them this because they're in a moment of forgetting who God is right after he did a huge miracle have you ever forgot how God brought you through something right after he just brought you through something like like literally it's a part of the Christian walk so God reminds us in his word like I'm a big God and I can take care of you and now he tells them watch this in verse 18 he said I did all that but forget all that I did all of that I brought you through that situation I changed your life I brought you out of poverty I'm transformed your mind and your heart yeah I did it but forget all that now why would God tell us to forget all the great things he's done cuz we want everybody to remember all the great things we do just think about it you right now still remind the people that $15 you lent them in high school you remember when I let you have $15 you like you steal come on it's human nature for if

I do something good I don't want you to forget that but usually people like that the only reason they don't want you to forget cuz their plan is never to do anything greater for you okay y'all missed it the reason I got to keep telling you about that one gift I gave you that one Christmas in 1972 it's cuz I don't plan to buy you nothing in 2026 come on let's be honest the reason I tell you that that hey you remember that time I invited you cuz I don't plan on going out with you again but God's saying all the great things that I've done for you I want you to focus on forgetting it cuz it will cloud your ability to see what I'm about to do boy oh god I don't have the time to do it like I want to but some of you are being held up watch this in your future because you are committed to nostalgia I'm gonna have to do a whole message on it but some of y'all right now get more excited when your Facebook memories come up everybody's talking about what happened in 2016 like God's not in 2026 you reminisce I was smaller than that's cuz you just kept ain't eating you've been eating since 2016 oh excuse me what I'm saying what I'm saying is what I'm saying is or whatever date does not have to be the glory days the glory days is wherever God is now y'all missing it the glory days is wherever the cloud is is now. God is calling us forward. He's saying, Come here. I've got more for you. That's for all my super saints, my senior saints, that are saying that maybe God's done with me. Your latter, your later years shall be greater. What if 50 to 80 was the pinnacle of your life? There are some senior saints in here. There are some people that are going up and aging great. What if everything you desire to do God still did? And he did it in the last 35 years of your life. You would have squandered it in the first 40. You would have tricked it off in the first 40. Y'all come on, be honest. You would have shook something and wasted it. But God said, in my grace, I'm gonna give them enough bumps and bruises so that they know that this last 35… Somebody shout at me forward. Everything is ahead of you. Travis, everything is ahead. Jared, everything is ahead. I've been saying it every day. I'm not even looking at what's going on right now. Everything in my life, every good thing, is ahead.

Faith is forward. God is not looking at your past being like, I wish you could get back there. Faith is forward. What building is he going to give us next? Who are we going to buy? What church are we going to buy a building for? Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. Where is God going to pour out next? Because faith is forward. But that means you're gonna have to forget and stop idolizing what he did. You have made your last season an idol now. And if God doesn't do it like that, he's not moving anymore. Pastor Mike, why are you telling me this? Because I don't want you to be paralyzed in this season where God wants to take you forward. What he's done is nothing compared to what he's about to do. That's all I wanted to tell you today. What God has done in this church, in your life, in this ministry, it is nothing to be compared to what he's going to do. And now there's two sets of people in this room. When I say that, some people that landed on a heart full of faith. And people heard that and was like, that's what I've been saying, God. That's what I've been feeling. That's what I know. God, I knew you was going to do it this year. I knew you was going to do it. Like something in you got an expectation. And then there was other people in here, but he ain't done it yet. And I know that. I mean, he always say that. All the crazy stuff happens and then it don't be happening. And then what am I supposed to do? And the Bible says, according to your faith. I just want to put the Bible back and forth. Let it be unto you. According to your… If you have the ability to take the ingredients that God gives you and you know how to cook, these ingredients turn into gourmet meals in the right… And God's saying some of y'all need to get your faith up because I'm telling you this is going to be the year. And you better stop

listening to people who have already become pessimistic about the promises of God. You better get around some people with faith that said this is going to be the year. Which month is it happening? This is going to be the year where your husband at? Is this going to be the year where is the breakthrough coming from? Where are the people that believe that God can do it? Because everything is ahead of me. My faith is full. Okay. All right. Let me stop. All right. You ain't seen nothing yet. You ain't seen nothing yet. Say it out loud. You ain't seen nothing yet. Put it on the screen. You ain't seen nothing yet. I've been saying it all week. When I've been walking these red carpets and movie premieres and Kelly Rowland asking me for a mint. God said, you thought this was going to happen? You ain't seen nothing yet. When I meet the Amazon executives and there's people over here and people asking me about other deals and other stuff. God said, you thought this was a game? You ain't seen nothing yet. When I'm walking through the mall in Atlanta and a lady starts crying because of the deliverance she's experienced and never been here before. But she said, this is a sign from God. I needed God to speak to me today and I was going to buy some shoes and God gave her a sign of confirmation. And God said, you thought that was something? You ain't seen nothing yet. Because everything. is ahead. Say it with faith. Everything is ahead. I can't wait for tomorrow. I can't wait for next week. I can't wait for next month. Because you ain't seen. You better keep watching. This is what God is telling the children of Israel. He said, I did all of that. Ain't never been done before. Will never be done again. But if you follow me forward, you ain't seen nothing yet. But they didn't have the faith to believe him. These group of people were in wilderness for 400 years. They were in slavery for 400 years. This means generations. They grandmamas and grandfathers and great grandfathers they were all bound mentally. And I know some of you are first generation chain breakers.

I'm talking to a specific group of people in here. I know some of y'all are first generational. You're breaking curses and poverty mindsets and bad habits. And it's hard. It's a hard fight because it's in your DNA. It's been in my bloodline to hustle. Oh, come on y'all. Y'all don't want to have real conversation. It's been in my bloodline to have a backup plan. It's in my bloodline to rely on some type of substance. It's in my bloodline to almost tell the truth. Come on y'all. It's in my bloodline to have two or three on the side just in case the main one messing up. And these people have seen the hand of God deliver them out of slavery, but they stopped moving forward after deliverance. Hear what I just said. You can be delivered and not move forward. Some of y'all not in the clubs no more, but you're not following Christ either. So you're good because you're not there no more. And God said six years ago, you stopped following me though. And the children of Israel, I need y'all to hear me. I need you to get the picture. We talk about the deliverance. He's the great deliverer. We make songs about it, but it is possible. Watch this, write this point down. You can be delivered and still delusional. Come here, camera. Did you hear what I said? You can be delivered and still delusional. Wow. You can literally be out of a situation and act like that was where you were supposed to end up. Do y'all know that the wilderness was not the destination? It was the process to change their minds. And some of y'all are mad because you're in a process that God's trying to use to change. I hate this job, but you're late. You're always late. So he's trying to get you to stop being late at the Piggly Wiggly. No, no, no. You're in a process of working at that grocery store or that post office because he's trying to get something out of you that's still in you before he takes you to where he promised you. And you were delivered out of the drug game. You ain't selling dime bags, but you are bagging groceries, and you're mad. And you think God has forgotten about… Y'all heard what I said? And you think God has forgotten about you, and he's trying to renew your… And now you're mad and you've stopped moving forward because you thought, well, God, I'm not doing this no more. I'm not as bad as I used to be. God,

you changed my life. But being delivered does not mean you're not delusional. And there are too many people in the body of Christ right now that aren't what they used to be but are not what God wants them to be. And now you're coming up against aggressive frustration. Your faith is frustrated because you think God has forgotten about you in a wilderness season, and the problem is you won't obey him in the wilderness. You stop moving forward. And today, I just got to challenge you that being delivered and being delusional Turns into self-sabotage Okay, let's let's break it down some of y'all are working out now And you still reward yourself with doughnuts after every Workout session that's delivered and Delusional Y'all see what I'm saying Some of y'all are excited about relationship goals the movie coming out got the book got a movie got a t-shirt and you're still answering late-night calls from your ex and You know Valentine's Day is coming and he just started what's up big head Yep on the first he gonna hit you with the hey Hey, what you doing? He got a plan all the way to the 14th. There's no pressure. No pressure. No pressure And you still answering them call that is delivered and a Lulu You Started saving money Yet you leave all of the notifications to your favorite stores Up on your phone God told you get your money in order pay off the credit cards, but you don't cut off the notifications That is now you don't started the savings account got four hundred and sixty two thousand dollars in there You see you couldn't even take the thousand on it some of y'all face here. Whoa. Whoa my god 462,000 I'm trying to take you forward You dogs go say 462 and then you that thousand came out you said no not me not me not me

Somebody shouted me forward I Declared that's somebody's real thing in the name of Jesus that they're gonna have more than enough Wow Get on my nerves Stop doing hard drugs The back to bad ones, but you can't go to sleep without that dark drink Dook-dook delivered, but still Ain't broke no more Made-out the hood We ain't going back there But you still have money under your mattress There's somebody mad look what what what what ain't nothing I mean the 20s and 50s, yeah Some of y'all it's a shoebox What I'm saying to you is there There is something that followed you out of Egypt That is keeping you out of the promised land I'm gonna say it one more time. There is something that followed you out of Egypt That is keeping you out of the promised land And today I want you to know that being delivered from one thing is not the same as being delivered into the promise I'm trying to move you forward today church like like you've stopped lying, but you haven't started being transparent So You're delivered from lying, but you haven't started offering up information to the people that you're accountable to so they still got to ask you They still got to say bro. How you doing with pornography? Oh, well last week instead of saying bro. I messed up So you've been done y'all don't get me I'm not a liar no more, but I I don't I don't willingly bring in accountability It's time for all of us to move say it with me So because you can come out of Egypt, but Egypt has to come out of you Where are you still embracing Egypt in your life? Where in your life are you still embracing Egypt God delivered you from something, but you have not let it go And it's keeping you in the wilderness. It's keeping you in wandering

It's keeping you going in a cycle when you look at the map of the actual place that they were supposed to go From and to it was an 11-day journey How do you get lost for 40 years? But I could ask some of y'all How have you been lost in relationship issues for 40 years How have you been a gossip since sixth grade? You're 65 And every circle you've ever been in your mouth is open No wonder God came to I'm not saying God came to you This is true, but what I heard and I'm telling you this so you can be praying you You're a nasty soul Do y'all hear what I'm saying? How do you get lost for 40 years it's because you stop focusing on forgetting and you stop moving And today I want to save our church from being delusional I Don't I don't I don't want to be delivered in delusional. I don't want to think that I don't have blind spots I don't want to think that God can't still work on me I don't want to think that God's not moving me to a place and so this is how you move forward The Bible tells us in Romans 12 to this is the reason our church was formed It says and do not be conformed to this world Any longer with superficial values and customs? This is the amplified version, but be transformed and Progressively change. I love that word as you mature spiritually by the renewing of your mind Focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes so that you may prove for yourself not for nobody else what the will of God is that which is good and Acceptable and perfect in his plan and his purpose for you This is how we move forward church mature spiritually Write it down Because you hear it, but you still not gonna pick up your Bible

You hear it But you still not gonna ask for real accountability Well, they didn't answer the phone that one time I called them So I ain't calling them no more What You got to get desperate to protect what God placed on the inside of you Focus on godly values Check your attitude. This is what the spirit the Bible says right here do it for you and don't compare yourself to anybody else Pastor Mike, why are you saying this because I figured out the one thing the children of Israel did They stopped listening to God's standards So the reason that they wondered is because they stopped listening to his standards Everybody say standard it's hard to do anything without a standard like without a speed limit on Telling us how fast to go Some of y'all would go three miles an hour and others of y'all will go a hundred miles an hour because without a Standard it's left up to how we feel Y'all hear what I'm saying So God sets stand the reason Moses went to the mountain Was to spend time with God to get the Ten Commandments which were could be called the ten Standards of how to live to give to the people so their minds could be renewed before they went into the promised land Okay, I'm delivering you out of Egypt I'm giving you standards to transform your mind so that then you'll be able to hold on to the promise when you get it I'm delivering you out of a bad relationships I'm gonna give you a standard of celibacy a standard of integrity a standard of actual Accountability so that when you walk into marriage you can actually sustain and have a healthy marriage Ha I'm delivering you from gluttony Nobody wants to talk about it and I'm giving you a standard of eating

healthy of Not always let me stop because this is the only reason I could talk about this because this was my real journey I'm giving you a standard of being accountable I'm giving you the standard of working out so that when I call you To be on 27 flights in 30 days To go spread the gospel and do what I called you to do that. You could stand up and still preach on Sunday. I Want you to be able to hold the promise when I call you into it This is a standard do you know what this is? It's one court Any country you take it to This will be one court Any kitchen you go into this will be one court The reason it says one court is because it was made to a specific Specification so that people who are using this never had to question what they were using if they measured it against the standard so if somebody says I need two courts without this it's a guess no I mean I know a cup could potentially what three cups minus a little bit could equal I never have to guess because there is a this is a what is it no it's a standard I don't care what you call it but this is a step I can measure and build something based on this how many feet of rope do I need to buy a lot can't nobody buy nothing with the standard of a lot they need something that is consistent to measure it up against okay this is a you said a tape measure but it's a stand grab that Travis it's a standard so if I need 15 feet by looking at the but if Charles come here but I was like Charles I need you to go 15 feet from here to there now I don't know what made him start doing that almost there 15 feet huh hey man and did you see how confident he started cuz without anything to measure it up against it looks right yeah we if you don't got a standard around that's like that look about 15 feet that's a good 15 what that's what I'm about six feet and if you lay me down twice that would be about 12 minus my head to my neck yeah and this is how

people do relationships without a standard this is how people do they money without a standard this is how people try to raise their kids without a let me show you one more this what is it you got it this is a standard this is something to be measured up against how do I know what to do in my marriage the standard Oh God how do I deal with people hating on me how can you not clap back and dot dot dot what am I measuring with the standard how are you dating how are you handling your money them standards getting quiet y'all know what I'm saying how do you forgive how do you pray how do you love your enemies how are you ready to give on any occasion for any need how do you produce finances that get you wealth and so many people have chosen uncertified measurements to base their life off of and today all I want you to know is that a good standard stays the same in every situation you hear what I'm saying the thing about that ruler is it don't change that rule have been the same since I've been in kindergarten when I'm in kindergarten and they say one foot I know 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 inches equals a foot why cuz it's a step when he went 15 feet if I was to go 15 feet the difference would be we have different foot sizes Do y'all hear what I'm saying? Charles got half my foot. Hey, man, it's the truth. My foot can't get every shoe. His foot, every size is available for him. So if we start walking from the same place, but we start measuring based off of what we think. Let's go 15, Charles. One, two, three, four, five. Look how far I'm ahead of him. Eight, nine, 10. I'm going to be off the stage. Well, 13, 14, 15. We stopped and we thought we did the same thing. We thought we served the same God. We thought we prayed the same way. We thought we believed the same thing, but because there was not a standard, we ended up in two different places. Today, all I'm offering you is the chance to not live in delusion, actually be delivered from whatever has been holding you, but keep moving forward because you stay focused on the standard. Standing all over this building. Oh my God. Pastor Mike, why are you saying this? Because sight with no standard leads to sabotage.

If you can see the promised land, but you don't obey the standard, you're going to self-sabotage. And I'm seeing so many believers right now self-sabotage because you don't have a standard to brighten your tone. Somebody pops off on you, guess what? They about to get popped. Y'all know what I'm saying. Excuse me, but I'm going to take off my Christian for a second. This is the moment where your Christian should be showing. Before everybody starts moving, I need you to hear me say this. I believe we have an opportunity to dive in to the only thing that doesn't change, the word of God. The Bible says it like this. Put the scripture on the screen. The grass withers, the grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand. That measurement stays the same forever. So I don't have a choice on what God says about relationship. There's a standard. I don't have a choice of what to do with my money if I'm actually going by the standard. The reason I give and I tithe and I do those things is not because some preacher manipulated me to give my… No, no, no, no, no, no. He's not the standard. It's the word of God. That's the standard. The reason that I pray for my enemies is not even because I want to. Y'all so fake. You'd be like, I just love praying for my enemies. I want to punch them. Can we be honest? But the reason I don't is because I live my life based on… Next week, I want you to come because I'm going to give you the standards of this house. Moses came down to give those 10 commandments or the 10 standards, and it was to move them into the promised land. Next week, I don't have 10. God didn't give me that much, but I have eight, and I call them the great eight. I've labored over this for 11 years. What I'm saying is we're about to change as a church because of these eight standards. At the end of next week's service, you're going to have an opportunity to be a part of what God is doing. Why? Because you can't build a house without… You missed it. Let me just help. Every construction site I've ever been on, every home build I've done, all the construction of this place and everything… Anybody who was walking around, they walked around with one of these. You can have a great vision for something, but without one of these, a standard… I don't know what to order. I don't know how much wood we need. I don't know where to put all the nails. I don't know where to put the studs. I don't know

where to… Without the standard, you cannot build a house. I'm here to tell you without a standard, you can't build a house. God's house either. So many churches want everybody to figure out what they do here. This church will be a church of standards. No, no, no, no, I'm just going to tell you right now, and there are some churches who don't care, and I want you to go find them and show up and be everything God has called you to be there. As a matter of fact, I believe in this so much that we have little cards that are called Not Your Cup of Tea cards. I realize everybody, this is not your cup of tea, and that don't mean you ain't got to drink tea, because you don't like this type of tea. So I'm going to help you find your tea, and I literally have tons of churches in the area and around the country on there that we know personally would be great places for you that have different dynamics, and we want you to just get plugged in somewhere where you can actually get involved and be a part of what God's doing. But here we're going to have a standard. Generosity is a standard. We will never let you come here and you don't feel the hand of God extending to you. We're always going to give. We're always going to love people who don't believe. I always want atheists in the building. Oh, God. There's a church, people, and I feel your spirit rising, but they're gay, they're transgender, they're God's children. Less claps don't matter. Who were you before God found you? There will always be a standard. Next week I'm going to invite you into living in this with me, because you ain't seen nothing yet.

Put that big, you ain't seen nothing yet on the screen. This is what I want you to remember. You ain't seen nothing yet. Did you hear the stats that they gave earlier of what God has done in this church? You ain't seen nothing yet. Put those stats, all of them, back on the screen. I just want you to think what God has done in the last 11 years. That's crazy. 30,680 baptism, 94.3 million hours viewed on YouTube, 233 million, I don't even know how to say that number, a lot of millions of views, $36,361,501 given away in total generosity that we can record, and 193,820 salvation. On this 11th anniversary, we celebrate that we have been representing God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ. Now put my other screen up there, but you ain't seen nothing yet. You check back with me in 10 years, and as we get this army, we started this vision with 300 people, but now there's almost 3,000 in here and countless watching. What could we do if we started building based on the standards of God? God's going to build this church, amen, and he's going to do it with you. Lift your hands all over this house. Father, I thank you for every person under the sound of my voice. Today I thank you that their faith was encouraged and they're seeing your need for their full yes. Father, I pray that right now that every person that is stuck in a wilderness, that right now today something's happening in their heart. God, I believe that you are not just delivering us, but you're taking us into the promised land. Today, Father God, I pray that anybody who has been stuck, who has been circling in the same foolishness, who's been stuck in delusion, thank you, Father, today there is a change happening from the youngest to the oldest. Change us, renew us, transform us, and do it from the inside out.

Let it start in our mind. that affect our habits. Today, God, for all you've done and all you continue to do, we say yes. There's somebody under the sound of my voice right now with your eyes closed and you just meditating on God. You have not said yes to God yet. You're literally in this place right now and you have never accepted Jesus or you did a long time ago, but you walked away from him. Today, God's saying, you wanna move forward? Move forward with me. I don't care where you came from, what happened to you, what you did, today is the day of salvation. And in this moment, God's saying to you, you ain't seen nothing yet. I wanna heal you, I wanna deliver you, I wanna bring you into freedom and I wanna bring you into promise land. Somebody lost their hope, somebody stopped dreaming, somebody stopped believing God and today God said, I'm resurrecting. I'm resurrecting. If you wanna accept Jesus or rededicate your life to him, whether you're watching in this room or online, today is the day. On the count of three, as the church begins to pray, because I need you to begin to believe there's eternity in the balance right now.

Somebody's not promised another 10 years, but today they're right here. And I'm telling you right now, your spirit is moving right now. That anxiousness you're feeling, that's the Holy Spirit coming to now calm you and say, this is the day, this is what I've been building everything towards, you accepting me right now. If you're in this room or you're watching right now online, today I want you to receive Jesus. On the count of three, just shoot your hand up, saying, pastor, I wanna be included in that prayer. One, you're making the greatest decision of your life. Two, your name is about to be written in the Lamb's book of life. Three, lift your hand if you wanna receive Jesus in this room. I see hands, I see hands, I see hands, I see hands. And more than that, God sees you. Come on, Transformation Church, let's give God praise. You can put your hand down. I don't wanna embarrass you. I'm not gonna make you say everything that you've ever done, but one day I'm believing you'll be in community to confess those things out loud, because that's where your healing's coming from. But as a church, we all pray together for the benefit of those coming to Christ. Would everybody just lift your hands and say,

God, thank you for sending Jesus to deliver me. Today, I confess I need you. I have sinned, but I repent, and I turn to you. I believe you lived, you died, and you rose again with all power, just for me. Today, here's my life. Change me, renew me, transform me. I'm yours forever. In Jesus' name, amen. Hey, can we celebrate all over this? Y'all gotta come on with me. Let's celebrate every person that made a decision for Jesus. Hey, listen, if you just decided to accept Jesus, I want you to text SAVE to 828282, and our team wants to send you some information and celebrate with you. And listen, all over this place, there's thousands of you in here and thousands online. I'm about to come off stage, and I wanna pray for you. Start putting your prayer requests in the chat. I'm gonna pray specifically for you by name. But our altar team is coming up right now, and if you need prayer for anything, for finances, for your family, for your mind, for peace, I don't want you to leave this place without getting agreement. The Bible says that the prayers of the righteous, they work. And today, you can get prayer. I love you, church.

This is our anniversary. This is us celebrating all that God has done through our faithfulness. And so thank you for honoring this moment. If you got any old throwback pictures of what God has done, put them up online and let us know some of your favorite moments. And don't forget to celebrate because God's church is alive and we're about to build this house, amen? I said, we're about to build this house, amen? Remember, this Wednesday, Relationship Goals is out everywhere. And I want you to watch it and celebrate with us. And I want you to go out and live a transformed life. Hug three or four people and tell them you love them, amen?
