Outrageous Exchange | Jimmy Rollins I Social Dallas

Hey, before we get into today's message, I want to take a moment and personally thank you for being a part of our social global family. I am standing in the future home of Social Dallas. Demolition has officially started and every day we are getting closer to making this space a place where thousands of people will encounter Jesus for years to come. If these messages have encouraged you, would you consider partnering with us? Your generosity really does help us continue sharing messages like the one you're about to watch and helps us build a permanent home where lives will be changed forever. Whether it's a one-time contribution or becoming a reoccurring partner, every single gift makes impact and every dollar moves dirt. Thank you for believing in what God is doing through Social Dallas. Here's today's message. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, God. Your presence is here at Texas Trust Theater. I hope you came with some expectation today that God was going to turn some things around in your family, in your marriage, in your children's lives, in your minds. That is the reason that we gather. We gather because of Jesus. There's power in that name. There's healing in that name. There's freedom in that name. I could go all day about what happens when we speak that name. I love that name because that name has transformed my life. We're so glad that today you made it to Social. You could be anywhere on a Sunday, but you're here in this space. We believe that God is going to meet you right where you are. His presence is already here. And so that may be what you're feeling right now for those of you that are new or maybe not, you know, new to church. You're like, what is that? It's His presence. And we've been praying. We pray consistently for these days when we gather that His presence would show up. This is not built on Robert and Taylor Manu. This is built on Jesus. This is built on the Holy Spirit that is available to you and to me and to you and to you. Social Global, watch it on the Pando app. Jesus, the Spirit of God is available to you. It's going to be a great day. Pastor Robert is actually, he has a global voice, right? We get to send him out. And so he's not with us today. He's actually preaching at a church called James River in Missouri. We have a very, James River, we love James River, yay. We have an incredible, incredible guest who's with us for the first time, but he's been a friend to our family for quite some time. And his name is Pastor Jimmy Rollins. And he is a pastor. He's an evangelist. He's a speaker, a marriage coach. Hey, we all need that, right?

He's an author. He's a father. His daughter's here today, Kayla, and we celebrate Kayla. And we're so happy that you're in the room today. And God is using their family to truly transform the world. And so, you know, PR never leaves us in bad hands, but only good, good hands. And so he'll be coming to the stage in just one moment. But here at Social Dallas, we come around every year, a word and a scripture for the year. And we rehearse it together to clear it out every single Sunday before we get into the word. And this word is trust. Not just any trust, but confident trust. So let's read this out together. Go ahead and put it on the screen. Hebrews, are you ready? You don't go until I say so. So do not throw away this confidence. Come on, somebody. Can we give it up for Jesus? And then give it up for Pastor Jimmy Rollins, who's taking the stage. What's going on, Social Dallas? Can we give God some praise in this place? I said, can we give God some praise in this place? Come on. I believe that your worst days are behind you and your best days are in front of you. I believe that you ain't seen nothing yet. Come on, somebody. I believe that no weapon that is formed against you is going to prosper. This year, I'm trusting God. Come on, touch three people. Tell them, this year I'm trusting God. This year I'm trusting God. I'm not trusting my mind. I'm not trusting my past. I'm not trusting my friends. I'm trusting God. I'm not putting my trust in a paycheck. I'm trusting God. Come on, somebody. I'm not trusting my looks. I'm not trusting my lineups. I'm not trusting my lashes. Come on, single people. I'm trusting God.

somebody in genesis chapter 22 it highlights the end of a journey but the beginning of a breakthrough it highlights what happens when you have not enough and how not enough can be just enough for more than enough and it says this in genesis 29 it highlights the story of abraham who is the father of our faith it says when they arrived at the place where god had told him to go abraham didn't build a case he didn't build up discouragement or resentment or anxiety he built an altar and arranged the wood on it then he tied his son isaac and laid him on the top of the altar with the wood and abraham picked up the knife to kill his son as a sacrifice. And at that moment, the angel of the Lord called from heaven saying, Abraham, Abraham. He said, yeah, homie, here I am. And God then says something very specific to Abraham. Don't lay a hand on the boy. The angel said, do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear the Lord. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son. Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught, somebody say caught. By its horns and the thicket, so he took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham named the place Yahweh Yireh, which means the Lord will provide. Can somebody say the Lord will provide? And then he says, to this day, people still use that name

as a proverb on this mountain. The Lord will provide. Social Dialist, today I wanna preach to you from this idea, from this thought. I believe from this prophetic declaration, outrageous exchange. Somebody say outrageous exchange. You see, we, as everyday consumers, we interact and transact with everyday exchanges. Come on, when you get up, some of you are ashy and you exchange your ash for lotion, come on, somebody. You exchange that bad breath for mint, come on, somebody. We are making exchanges every single day that we don't even think about. I remember when I was in Bible college, I got a Discover card, 1993. And I remember, I didn't know about credit, and so I went and I saw that it had a pin number, come on, somebody, so I went and got $1,000 cash. 80% interest, I don't know what it was. I didn't know back then, and then my homies was like, yo, PJ, you wanna go to the casino, Atlantic City? Don't judge me, I'm not, it's under the blood. Some of y'all got under the blood, too? So we went to the casino, and I was a big baller. I had this money in my pocket. I had a 1995 Hyundai with five-star rims with a homemade kicker box in the back. Playing Summertime, y'all know about that? But it's crazy that what was valuable in my hand

had no value inside of a different currency system. I had $1,000, but when I, if I was going to transact inside of the casino, I had to exchange what I had for something that was more valuable than I had that had no value outside of the system it was in. I exchanged that money for coins. I remember, some of you got small kids and you go to Chuck E. Cheese. Come on, somebody. Yeah, you done done it. You done paid about $200 for a $5 teddy bear. You go there and you exchange your money for coins. Come on, somebody. And then your kids get the coins, and they keep playing the game over and over, and then the, come on, and then the kids get the coins, and they keep playing the game over and over, and then the, come on, and then the thing kicks out tickets, and they go to exchange tickets at a counter, and if they don't win, if they don't go home, you could have bought 10 teddy bears. Kind of an unfair exchange. Maybe some of you have been driving around a car, and you want to trade it in for that new car, and you see that new car, you see that commercial, you want that EV, come on, somebody. And what happens is you've been riding that car, and you go to that dealership, and you go to trade it in, and then they tell you that it's not worth what you thought it was worth.

But you want that thing so bad, you partake in what I call an outrageous exchange. Maybe some of you travel like I do, and you paid all that money for those plane tickets, come on, somebody, and what you get back is points that don't equate to the same dollar value of the ticket that you paid for, but you start negotiating with it. Maybe it's worth it that I go to Hawaii, although I already paid for it, that it's kind of an unfair exchange. It's an outrageous exchange. You land in another country. You big ballin', come on, you got about $5 left in your account because you done spent it all trying to get there. And whatever you have worth has no value until you go and exchange in the currency that you win. I came to preach to you today that the kingdom currency, that the kingdom of God always has an unfair exchange. It's kind of crazy to me that we give him our sin and we get back forgiveness. It's kind of outrageous, come on, somebody. It's kind of outrageous to me that we give him sorrow and we get joy. It's outrageous to me that we give him bitterness and get back breakthrough. It's outrageous to me, come on, that we submit our lives to God and we come out no degree, come on, somebody, but I got oil on me.

Come on, somebody, you give up past opportunities and he anoints your head with oil and your cup begins to run over. It's kind of like an outrageous exchange. Is there anybody in here that's got a testimony that says I might not be where I wanna be, but because of the outrageous exchange, come on, somebody, I still thank God that I got here. Is there anybody that says when I look back over my life, I can see that I don't deserve where I am, but there was an outrageous exchange that God doesn't call those who are qualified. He qualifies those who are called. It's an outrageous exchange. The kingdom of God works this way. What is valuable in our hands has to be placed in the hands of God to multiply. God asks us to bring something valuable, a dream, a gift, a promise, a seed into a new building. Oh, y'all about to go to a whole nother level. Something we love and what he asks us to do is lay it on an altar, a relationship. Come on, man of God, you know you out-punished your coverage with that girl you got. You ain't got your line up right. Somebody can't even believe, man, he pulled her? That's an outrageous exchange. And it's crazy, Pastor Taylor, that we pray for relationships, but then once we get in them,

we remove ourself from the altar, from the sweet spot, from the place of worship where God blessed us, and I came to tell you that God is still requiring altars. He's asking you to bow down. He's asking you to bow down. I'm telling you right now, this is where we find Abraham. For Moses, he exchanged a palace for a promise. He exchanged influence for impact. There was a woman in 2 Kings chapter four, her husband had died, and a prophet comes by her house, Elisha, and says to her, what do you have in your house? God is looking for this exchange in the story, but first she has to go find something that's left. It's amazing to me that when we go through moments when something has died, our hope has died, our courage has died, our expectation has died, that we start looking for the wrong things, but this woman finds all she has is this little jar of oil. I love the fact that she held on to something that God could work with. What are you holding on to that God can work with? There's an outrageous exchange, and she pays off the debts of her sons. In John chapter six, there's a little boy with two fish and four biscuits and an extra one because he's a big back. They call it the feeding of the 5,000, but back then in the law there, they didn't count women and children,

so there's actually 20,000 people there, and all this boy knows is he's got his lunch packed. He's gonna eat halfway through the day, and I don't know if there's 20,000 people. Was this boy seven feet tall? Was he wimpy? Did he have a lot of followers? No. How does he get noticed in a crowd of 20,000 people? Because what was his was a gift for a greater promise, but God had to take it out of his hands and put it in the hands of Jesus. And whatever you take something out of your hands and put it in the hands of Jesus. Come on somebody You're only could be the next for a multiplication blessing But we've been holding on to what God wants and we realize it doesn't work inside of the kingdom currency Inside of the kingdom currency. You cannot call something worship without a sacrifice Pastor want us to give to the building. You're not giving to the building. Somebody gave for the seat you're in today Somebody prepared the way somebody sacrificed Somebody gave an altar and how dare you let me tell you like I'm from Baltimore Don't forget where you came from if it took an altar to get it Make sure you bow down at an altar so that somebody else can get it Can I get about 200 people that say pastor? I know what you're talking about The Kingdom is full of outrageous exchanges and What seems small? What seems painful? What seems costly in our hands? becomes miraculous when it's placed in the hands of

Jesus This is where we find Abraham in Genesis 22 I'm talking about Abraham You know Sunday school Abraham father Abraham and I'm talking about quadruple platinum Abraham Hey minute that song I'll sold everybody come on Many sons have father Abraham. I am one of them and so you so let's just praise the Lord But it didn't start out with a praise It started out with a place of sacrifice By Genesis 22 Abraham has been walking with God for decades By Genesis 22 God first called Abram back in Genesis 12 And he says leave your father's house leave your land leave everything that because I got an exchange for you Have you ever had a directive from God with no directions? Uh-oh God tell me where we going. I can't You won't exchange your life for it God tell me what's next I can't Cannot tell you in outrageous exchanges. God is not looking for your opinion. He's only looking for your obedience He says give me that and I got something for you that you can't see God told him to leave everything Leave your comfort for a calling Leave familiarity for faith Leave certainty For obedience and then God gave him a promise. You will become the father of nations ironic that God Called him to be a father When he can't produce children Ironic that God called him to be a father with the wife that is barren It's ironic that God called him to be a father at 99 years old He's like I can't take care of these children

But I'm telling you right now God is not concerned with what you can do Because when he pours the oil on you, come on somebody what you can do turns into I got God with me Come on somebody. I didn't qualify for this job, but I'm here. Come on somebody I don't know how I got to this place, but I'm here my credit score didn't add up But somehow I got the house. I was in a sitting in a doctor's office and got a diagnosis But I went in sad, but I came out healed in the name of Jesus. Is there anybody today that wants an outrageous? Exchange that says God what is it in me that you want me to lay on the altar? Every act of obedience becomes an opportunity for worship 25 years between the promise and the day Isaac was born 25 years of waiting 25 years of complaining 25 years of showing up to church serving and tithing and reading the Bible plan and quoting our trust word for the year 25 years, but no Fulfillment Have you ever find or found yourself tired in between a prayer and a promise? Have you ever found yourself stuck in the middle of a mess that could potentially turn into a miracle? I know you came to and saved Sanctified redeemed come on somebody and you in church saying hell lost another one I am free, but you cussing come on under your voice saying God is If you don't move today, if you don't move this week, come on somebody, I don't know, is there any real people in here that can say sometimes I get sick and tired of being sick and tired, I don't want to come in church and lie, I'm blessed, God is so good. No, I'm stressed, I'm broken, I'm tired of being single, I'm tired of keeping my purity. God, if you don't move soon, I'm about to lose it all.

Oh, not this section, is there a real section that might say, pastor, I didn't know we could say that in church, I didn't know that God wasn't scared of our questions, I didn't know that God was okay with my emotions, God says be angry and said not. God is okay with your emotions, he's okay with your discouragement, he's okay with your fear. He says, yeah, you might say, pastor, that's not biblical. No, no, no, no, no, he says, come on, come on, that love and fear cannot coexist, but there's one thing about being afraid to do it, and there's another thing called doing it afraid. Come on, somebody, I'm gonna give it, even though I'm scared, I'm gonna lay it down, even though it don't make sense, because I want to be in the right currency. You cannot transact in the kingdom of God with a half sacrifice. If it don't cost you something, you can't call it worship. Surrender is the place where exchanges become alters. The passage I read in the beginning highlights the end of the story, but there are several exchanges that took place before the ultimate one, and if you're taking notes, I first want to give you the first exchange. When I read the story of Abraham and I look at his life, Pastor Taylor, I see that he exchanged altitude for atmospheres, come on, somebody. Somebody say altitude. Every one of us want to go high.

Every one of us want to be elevated. Every one of us wants more followers. All of us want to be noticed. All of us want to be affirmed. But we have to be careful that altitudes don't forsake atmospheres. God tells Abraham here in Genesis 22, verse one and two, sometime later, God tested Abraham's faith. Abraham, he said, yes, here I am, take your son. Yes, Isaac, your only son, watch this, go to a higher altitude. Go to another level. Take this thing, how my kids would say it, it's time for a come up. Dad, we about to be up, we've been down a minute. Go to Moriah, go and sacrifice Isaac as a burnt offering on one of the mountains. Go to Moriah. The first thing that God tells Abraham is to go to a place called Moriah. This is not random geography. Moriah becomes the most sacred place in the history of Israel. It is the region where Jerusalem would be built. It is the region where the temple would stand. It is the place where the presence of God would dwell amongst his people. It's about atmospheres. What you had in worship this morning was an atmosphere. And that atmosphere is an atmosphere of transformation.

That atmosphere is an atmosphere where you can transact with God. That atmosphere, watch this, that atmosphere, watch this, it's an atmosphere where sickness becomes healing. It's an atmosphere where you came in discouraged but you leave with confidence. It's an atmosphere that you feel like you got the home field advantage. Yo, I'm telling you right now, there's nothing like a team having the home field advantage. When you come into corporate worship and the presence of God begins to sit in a place, you might was isolated outside the room, but when you get inside the room, you feel like there are more with you than against you. And you leave elevated. But what really is atmosphere? What really is altitude? You see, altitude is just elevation. It measures how high. It says nothing about why you climbed. Altitude is a trap. Altitude measures my position, but it doesn't measure my purpose. I'm preaching. The higher you go in altitude, the thinner the air gets, the colder it gets, the smaller everybody else looks. But there's a danger. Altitude is addictive. Followers are addictive. A raise, and you got the big house, and you didn't pay it off your debt. Come on, 40 years on them school loans. And God begins to elevate you. And what happens is he told you to go to Moriah, because I want to meet you there. Moriah was never meant to be a mountain, always a meeting place. So wherever God causes your skills to ascend at a job, to ascend in position, to get to a title, to get debt free, it is

never about the position of how high you are. There's a purpose for why he elevated you. But we have to be careful not to turn the mountaintop moments into it being about me. The mountain was the place where God wanted Abram to bow down, not stand up on it. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. We got to look at me culture. We got to, I can't wait to post it culture. I ain't prayed about it. I ain't praised about it. I ain't thank God about it. But we post it because we'd rather have the praise from people than to give God back what only he gave me in the first time. God, don't brag on yourself on the mountain. Brag on Jesus and say, God, we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of my testimony. God, I shouldn't be here, but I'm here. I shouldn't have be in my right mind, but I am. We got to exchange altitudes for atmospheres. I have decided this in my life, that if it took God's presence to get me there, it takes God's presence to keep me there. Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted a cute word. No, you are set apart. It won't work. Matter of fact, I started praying a prayer over my adult children, 21, 23, and 25. God, everything that's not ordained for their life or purposed for their life, frustrate a minute. God, I pray that you set them apart like you set apart. Come on, Jeremiah and Jeremiah chapter 1, verse 5. God, even though they good-looking, come on somebody, let the guy that's trying to pull up say no. Let him say no. Let them find my girls ugly. Let them find. I don't want nothing but your purpose. I don't want nothing but your presence, because I'm not gonna turn a meeting place into a mountain. Can I get about 300 people to stand on their feet and give God a shout that says, God, you got me here, and if it took your presence to get me here, it's gonna take your presence to keep me here. Number two, number two, number two. We have to exchange altitude for atmospheres. Number two, we have to exchange acceleration for alignment. Somebody say acceleration for alignment. God, when we gonna get the building? Man, I ain't coming to church because we got a park in his heart. Been saved two days. God, I want a million dollars. Acceleration. Everybody want to go fast. Why haven't Pastor Robert and Taylor given me a title yet? I don't know. They don't know you. You're not aligned, because what we have found out in 25 years of ministry, that

if you so focused on a title, you're gonna lay down your towel. No, I need... Some people that'll say I'll serve when I got the title I'll serve come on somebody when I don't I'll park my cars I'll feed babies whatever you need me to do I don't need a microphone because I'm creating an atmosphere for other people to coming to the presence of God acceleration for Alignment in Genesis 22 verse 3 it says the next morning After Abraham got this instruction from God he got up early He saddled his donkey He saddled his donkey he saddled his donkey and Took two of his servants with him along with his son Isaac He didn't saddle a Lamborghini He didn't saddle a Porsche Abraham was one of the richest men ever He had dozens of horses that could have taken him up the mountain quicker But he saddled a donkey He made an immediate decision and yielded to a slow process Everybody want to get there fast Everybody want the promotion quick Everybody wants the relationship fast Everybody want come on the breakthrough quick, but that Joker got a destiny from God He got declared what his next level was gonna be he made an immediate decision by donkey I have come to discover 25 years that a donkey is the way it's the best way to get there because you cannot be processed going quick You cannot be processed getting it fast It will be it won't be worth anything to you if there's not some scars It won't be worth anything to you if there's not some injuries

It won't be worth anything to you if in the slow process you become a worshipper It's in the slow process that you bow down. It's in the slow process where you're not building mountains. You're building altars It's in the slow process Will you learn how to take a licking and keep on ticking a donkey goes two or three miles an hour? Come on somebody breakthrough slow joy slow Suffering slow Anointing slow matter of fact the Bible says that on the day of Passover That Jesus was about to ascend on the cross and what did he take he got on a donkey and he walked in slow Everybody recognized. I'm about to be your Savior Recognize I'm about to redeem you Donkey Touch three people and tell them by donkey by donkey by donkey Don't get it fast because your gifts can take you where your character won't keep you it takes Slow to have character it takes slow to have integrity it takes slow I Gotta be aligned man When I'm aligned I don't lose focus When I'm aligned temptation Doesn't misdirect my path When I'm aligned I say no to things I used to say yes with I'm telling you right now David on the top of that roof when he failed with Bathsheba He didn't have a temptation issue. He had a location issue Because he wasn't aligned with his purpose. He was born to fight. He was born. Come on somebody He was a worshiper and a battler. He wasn't supposed to stay home You see when you align you show up every Sunday when you align just serve when you align You don't wait to get to worship. Come on on a Sunday you worship on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Saturday when you align come on somebody because we're not trying to lead people worship team to a place We have not been I got to be alive

So now sit down I gotta finish I came to preach to you. I Want to tell you why it's taking so long My wife struggled with Lyme disease, she's the breadwinner I had planned on being a stay-at-home husband She preached that woman evolved two years ago in front of 48,000 women y'all I had a dream And I remember when Sarah called her and said hey, will you show up and and preach and she says I can't I have no Energy, I I have Lyme disease.

All that, and you was just playing? He says, no, you have no idea that promise that I gave you in Genesis 12. It took this outrageous exchange to make it happen. The Bible says that Abraham was tested and God saw him faithful. The problem with us is, is we look at a gift and we call it a promise. Isaac was never the promise. Isaac was the gift to get to the promise, but the gift had to be willing to be laid down and exchanged in order, come on somebody, for the promise to happen. So what happens is God says, you have proved yourself. Now look back, behind you, something is caught. There was a ram caught in a bush behind him. Now you says, pastor, why is the ram caught behind him? I don't know about you, but if God tells me to look behind me on a path and direction that he sent me to get here, it means I missed, I didn't catch something that was behind me. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. That means when God said, look behind me, that ram was there all the time. But it was stuck in another season. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. It was stuck, and Pastor Taylor, when I looked over this scripture, every time God gave Abraham a direction, I don't see him praise God after he was obedient.

But this time, what was caught was a ram. The Bible says that the ram was the sacrifice, replacement of Isaac. And the only thing left after a ram is sacrifice are the horns. That ram was caught by the horns. The horns are the shofar. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. The shofar was a trumpet and an instrument that at the year of jubilee, that everybody's chains were loosed. So what was left behind you was a stuck praise. So I triple, dog dare you, social Dallas, to give God some praise for stuff that's behind you. Give God some praise that he brought you out. Give God some praise that he saved you. Give God some praise. Amen. The Bible says that he named the place Yahweh Yireh, which means the Lord will provide. How does he know? Because he forgot that the Lord had already provided on the way there. Some of you got a caught praise and something that you got over, but you ain't all the way got through. And right now, I'm telling you right now, the Bible says that the greatest exchange that ever happened was on the third day, when Jesus went to hell and got the keys to the kingdom

and he snatched the keys back from the devil. So I came to tell you social Dallas, if the devil ain't got keys to his house, it's time for you to give him an eviction notice to get out of your house. This praise that you're about to give, say devil, you are under my feet. Somebody needs to say devil, you should have took me out yesterday because in the midst of my pain was a caught praise. I triple dog dare you to praise God like it don't make. Can I tell you, I see Abraham's praise, man. What was Isaac's praise? He probably said, I'm free, praise the Lord, I'm free. No longer bound, no more chains holding me. My soul is resting, it's such a blessing. It's such a blessing, praise the Lord, hallelujah, I'm free. Abraham says, no, that's not enough. Isaac, I need more. He says, I'm free, praise the Lord, I'm free. Come on. No longer bound, no more chains holding me, my soul is free. It's such a blessing. Where y'all at? Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Y'all ain't doing it enough. Maybe you got to do this. Hell lost another one. I am free. I am free. I am hell lost. Come on. Father in Jesus name, I pray right now for everybody under the sound of my voice. God that we would do the outrageous exchange in the name of Jesus. I pray from this day forward. God that our greater days are before us and our worse days are behind us. God be taking this thing to a whole nother level. Father, come down and give God a hand. I thank God over and over and over. I thank God. Come on, if you know that you know that you've been set free in the building today.

That you once were dead, but now you're alive. That you were once blind, but now you can see. That once you're lame, but now he picks you up. He turns you around. He puts your feet back on the solid ground. Can you make some noise one time for the great I Am. The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Man, can we just thank Pastor Jimmy for that amazing message? But I don't want to move too quickly past something because we always want to give people the opportunity to say yes to Jesus and something that Pastor Jimmy talked about in the beginning of his message is that exchange that happens when we give our sins to the Lord and we get freedom. We get salvation. And so if you're in the room this morning and you just recognize that, man, I haven't even made that first oh so important exchange of giving my life to him. Giving my sins to him and saying, Lord, I'm giving you what I have and I'm receiving what you have for me. We want to give you the opportunity to do that. So every single person, if you would bow your head and close your eyes, if you're in the room today and your heart feels so tugged upon and, you know, I need to take that first step. Would you just all over the building, wherever you are, lift your hand high enough and long enough. We want to see you want to recognize it. We see hands come on all over the building, all over the building. Come on, lift it up high. There's more in the room today. There's more in the room today. And we're going to pray together as a family and walk through this because you are in a room full of people who have made this decision to give their life to Jesus. So say, Lord, I need you take my life, my sin, my shame, my chains, and I receive what you've given me. Salvation, freedom, future and a home. All the days of my life from this day forward, it's me and you take me by the hand and lead me into your arms in Jesus mighty name. Come on. And everybody said, can we celebrate every single hand that went up in the room this morning to every single person who lifted their hands? I want to say this. We love you.
