PURSUIT NIGHT! AMAZING NIGHT OF HOLY SPIRIT WORSHIP
The Holy Spirit fell in a mighty way at Life Fellowship Church on Sunday Night. A MUST WATCH if you love spontaneous worship in a mighty way!
Good morning, men and women. Thank you so much for watching us on the Pando app. It's such a blessing to us to be able to speak into your life to be able to pray for you and to and to make you feel like you're part of our church family because that's that's our heart. That's my heart. My name is Logan Williams. I'm uh my TDC number eight. I have four numbers after that. I I understand the the anxiety and the disappointment and the all the feelings that come with uh not being able to live right and getting arrested and going to jail and going to prison and getting out and trying again and getting arrested and going back and going back. Uh I just want to tell you that to be encouraged get a hold of Jesus and your life can completely change. This can be the last time that you ever have to go through that. I know it's hard to believe sometimes especially when you're round and round and round in the system. But I remember
when I was sitting at Collin County Jail and I was here for the fourth time going back again and and Life Fellowship Church, this church this prison ministry that I have the uh honor to to lead out came into that jail and uh brought this message the same messages that you watch the same worship, the same Pastor Chris and all that and I just fell in love with Jesus and I knew whenever I get out of prison this time I'm going to find this Life Fellowship place and I just jumped in and started volunteering and God really uh just has a way of being exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or think and he has definitely moved in my life in a way that's miraculous and this is my hope for you guys this is why we do what we do here because I want you to have that same thing like if you read the Bible he didn't use the religious people, he didn't use the people
that had it all together he used people like us man he used people that were broken, people that knew they needed a Savior people that were at the brink of giving up and the Bible is full of stories transformative stories it's just awesome and so hey I want to remind you, you can have your friends and family download the same Pando app on their cell phone and they can watch the same messages that you guys are watching you can talk about it together when you see each other in visitation or when you talk on the phone you can do this walk together, it's a beautiful thing man I want to I want to, God really put on my heart to speak about forgiveness this morning and I know that's a difficult topic for many people especially people when you're in the situation that you're in, it's real easy to just be a victim and say man my life sucks and this is
this must be my lot in life and all that kind of stuff and it's easy to hold on to that bitterness and that darkness it's so important guys that we address this and we start addressing it now, immediately while even in the place that you're at, wherever you are, wherever you might be to try to start changing our mindset and getting out of the bitterness and into forgiveness Titus 4 Titus chapter 3 verse 4 says but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared he saved us not because of works done by us in righteousness but according to his own mercy by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope
of eternal life guys, even in the darkest moments that you have think about those things the things that you haven't told anybody those things that only you know that you've done the things that bring you the most shame and the most embarrassment and the most guilt even when you were doing that, in that moment Jesus still looked down on you as his beloved and said man he's worthy of dying for he loves us so much and he pours out this grace this wonderful grace on us let's get a hold of that let that be the cry of our heart and so that should produce a change in us man, I've been forgiven of so much how can I not forgive others and I know guys that many of us have had just some horrific things done to us. I know, and I know many of you have had even more horrific things done to you than I have.
There's people that have been through some stuff, and people have treated you cruelly, even as a child or at some point in your life. Things have happened to you that should have never happened. And I get that. But because of the grace and mercy that God poured out on us, can we try to just pray and ask him for the power to forgive? You know, Colossians 3 says, bearing with one another, and if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other, as the Lord has forgiven you. So you also must forgive. And then it's always, you know, the best example of this in scripture is when he's teaching the disciples how to pray in the Lord's Prayer, when it says, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And I know that, I don't care who you are, we've all prayed that prayer at some point, whether in a group or by yourself. And did you know when you pray that prayer, you're saying, hey God, I want you to forgive me as I forgive others. I used to think that that word as meant, you know, as I'm trying to forgive others, will you forgive me God? But that word as really means in the same way. So when we're praying that prayer,
we're actually praying that God will forgive us in the same way that we forgive others. And so when we hold on to that bitterness and that unforgiveness and that resentment towards others, we're actually asking God to hold on to that same, in the same measure that we hold on to it for. And when I realized that, when I finally realized that, oh man, like I'm gonna be forgiven as I forgive others, it just changed the way I viewed that. And it just launched me on a mission to man, cause there's some people I didn't want to forgive. There were some people that I hated, straight up. And I, but when I got that download finally, and said, man, I'm only gonna be forgiven as I'm forgiving others. It's just a decision. It's just a decision to release them. But as you're releasing them, you're actually releasing yourself. You're actually setting yourself free. And it doesn't mean that it's condoning whatever they did to you. It's not saying that, yeah, that's okay. You know, it's still a horrific thing, but you're just making a decision to release them because I can promise you that the stuff that's happened to me, the people that have harmed me years ago, maybe even decades ago,
as it still affects me and I still think about it, guess what? They're not thinking about me at all. I'm the one that's in prison in my mind. And this is not an easy thing just to go from unforgiveness to forgiveness, like to just make that jump in a split second. It's gonna take some work. It's gonna take some spiritual battles, but guys, I want you to start now in the place that you're at. It's just the perfect place to start practicing these spiritual principles. And there's so many of them that are difficult. Start doing it now. And if you don't know what to do, or if you don't know how to forgive, man, ask the Holy Spirit to give you that wisdom. And it says in the Bible that if we lack wisdom, we can just ask and he'll give it to us. And that's an unselfish prayer. That's a prayer that God would answer. And it's so important to have that, man. And so that's really what God placed on my heart this morning to talk to you guys about, because I know that in those places it's dark. And one of the reasons it's so dark in some of those places is because of the unforgiveness and the resentment that everyone has because of wherever they landed in life
or whatever's happened to them. So I wanna encourage you to practice that. Practice that, get with God, pray about it. Ask him what steps can I take to begin to put this into practice, because it's so important. It's so important. All right, so I'm gonna pray for us and then we have an awesome message for you guys. Heavenly Father, I just thank you for, man, just technology and the Pando app. I thank you for the tablets that inmates now get access to and all the content that they get access to. What a blessing. God, you're so awesome and amazing. And we're seeing. movement. We're seeing people, armies being rose up in behind these walls. We're seeing amazing things happening just in our ministry as we go into the prisons, as we go into the county jails, as we go into the juvenile facilities. We're seeing men get baptized in the Holy Spirit. We're seeing men get healed and we're seeing just a tremendous amount of people, of inmates, just get all in. And God, we know that that's all you. We know that we can do nothing apart from you and we know that no one can come to the Father unless you draw them. And so God, I just thank you so much for moving in all of these places and all these facilities. God, thank you for moving. Thank you for raising up an army. Thank you for continuing to love people that most of the rest of the world has forgotten about. So God, I just ask this morning that you would show these men and women how to forgive. That you would place on their heart just a burden and the knowledge and the wisdom and the revelation of how important it is to have this forgiveness. It's all through Scripture about the importance of it. And so God, I ask that you would just prepare hearts, that you would just give people
new eyes to see, new ears to hear, that they would be able to let go of the bitterness and the resentment, and that you would give them the freedom, man, that comes with that. That you would give them a taste of the freedom, a taste of the peace and the love and the joy. And so God, I thank you, man, for all that you're doing. Thank you, God, for everyone that's tuning in, for drawing them here. God, I pray that you would just bless them today, that you would just let them know how much you love them, and that you have a plan for their life that they can't even fathom or imagine. And God, we love you so much. It's just so amazing to see how you can take all the things that we've done in our lives, all the missteps and all the darkness, and you're just able to flip it for the good, man, and turn it around and use it as a testimony. It's just so awesome and amazing. God, we're just so honored to just be chosen by you and to be a part of your kingdom. And we give you all the praise and glory in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Whose house? God's house. Let's give them some praise. Come on, is anybody hungry and thirsty for the presence of the Lord tonight?

she is and all the jesus you're incredible jesus you deserve it all jesus you're incredible jesus you deserve it all jesus you're incredible jesus you deserve it all so you know the lord he deserves and there's a quote from paul and philippians 3 that i want to share with you it says that in verse 7 but what but what things were gained to me these i have come lost for christ yet indeed i also count all things lost for the excellence of the knowledge of christ jesus my lord for whom i have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish that i may gain christ and be found in him not having my own righteousness which is from the law but that which is through faith in christ the righteous which is from god by faith that i may know him in the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings being conformed to his death And by any means, I may attend to the resurrection from the dead and I Really believe when Paul shared this I don't think it was easy for him To just give everything to the Lord But I think that he got to a revelation of the Lord in such a way That he can't he count everything as loss. It was easy Not be easy, but it was easier for him to surrender everything and we're gonna sing this next song About we're gonna give everything to the Lord They can have it all and sometimes it's hard to do that when we don't have a revelation of the Lord because If we don't understand how precious he is It's hard to give it to him because we believe that
Maybe something that we have or people around us There are more precious than him But I want us tonight to understand that he's more precious than anything and when we come from this revelation, it's easy It's easier to surrender to him. So I just want to encourage you tonight That we're gonna have and we're gonna give everything to the Lord because he deserves Lord I ask you that tonight you help us to surrender everything To give everything that we have That we count everything as lost compared to the richness of your glory the richness of knowing you Although you're so precious Lord And every time that we come before you Lord, we just want to strain everything because you are everything to us So I just bring you up have everything Jesus have my heart My soul Jesus have my dreams With joy joy, I cast my To you I bring my praise my My soul a living sacrifice This one Your life is now You will this world Jesus Oh Oh Which way Which way I cast my To you I bring my My song living sacrifice That's one For your life is now You will is what

You You You You You You You You Thank you, Jesus. The Father's smiling on us. I feel like we're sitting at the family table, the dinner table, and the family's gathered. God's looking at everybody, smiling, welcoming us. Psalm 16 says, Thou will show me the paths of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Let's live there. Let's just live there. Thank you for bringing us into his presence. Welcome Holy Spirit. Thank you for being here with us. We've sang psalms. We've said Jesus have it all. Psalm 105 says, Give thanks unto the Lord. Call upon his name. We've done that today. Make known his deeds among the people. Sing psalms unto him. Talk of all his wondrous works. Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
Let me say that again. Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. There's rejoicing in seeking the Lord. And then the psalmist says, Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face evermore. Jeremiah 29 13 says, If you will seek me, you will find me. When you seek me, when you pursue me with all of your heart. Welcome Holy Spirit. Thank you, Lord. Thank you that you love us. You're a good, good father. Thank you that you love us and you give us what we need. And we ask you for help. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. I'd prepared a few thoughts that I thought I would share with you. But the Holy Spirit is directing me otherwise. And I want us to close a different way. And I'm going to ask you to just maybe stand your feet. If you want to stay out here in the front, that's fine. But maybe the rest of us, I'm going to ask us to draw in close. In old church, we'd say, come to the altar. But come to this place, even though it's a little tight. Or just come down the aisle as far as you can. And we're going to do something very special in this moment. I think this is a wonderful moment in God's presence for us to do this together.
We are the body of Christ. You held that wafer in your hand this morning, representing the body of our Lord, the body of Christ. And so as the body of Christ, that wafer represented bread, the bread of life, Jesus, the bread of life. We are his body. So this bread is just going to kind of loaf together here for a few minutes. Is that all right? We're going to kind of be the loaf of that bread, the body. And we're going to pray a special prayer together. We're going to do something very Old Testament. We're going to consecrate ourselves. Somebody say, consecrate. We're going to consecrate ourselves for the intended purpose and the intended work that we are given to do as the body of Christ, as the local church here. I shared those words to you with that song this morning. I've been through enough to know that he'll be enough for us. But he's looking for a people who will consecrate themselves, consecrate themselves, and give themselves. We sang it tonight. Jesus have it all. But boy, we're going to give it all to him and consecrate ourselves for his intended purpose and his intended work. So I'm going to ask you in prayer with me right now. I'm just going to pray a prayer of consecration over you.
But I'm going to ask every one of us individually say, Lord, I give myself to you for your will, for your purpose. Purposes for this local church and for the what you've called me in my family to whatever that is but you are giving yourself in his presence as an offering a Sacrifice you're consecrating yourself to him for his intended work Are you ready to do that and let's just watch and see how this is all gonna unfold in the days and weeks to come Let's do this together as the body of Christ Lord We lift our hearts and our hands before you but Lord that just represents our lives Lord you've created us as your masterpiece Designed destined for your good work and for your purposes. So Lord we Consecrate ourselves now in the name of Jesus in your presence now We give ourselves to you say this with me Lord. I give myself to you Commit everything to you All that I have All that I ever will be I Give it to you Lord use me for your intended purposes Not mine. I give myself to you and in this moment in your presence. I Consecrate myself to you. I am yours. Take me and use me Use me up In whatever way you choose in Jesus mighty name Mighty Jesus mighty name now. I'm gonna ask you to do something else I'm gonna ask you to just pray for the person next to you beside you behind you wherever somebody that you know, and It may just be putting your hand on their shoulder or maybe just grabbing them by the hand But would you just take a few moments now and let's pray for one another Let the Holy Spirit lead you if you want to ask them what they need prayer for fine
But just ask the Holy Spirit He'll show you I believe and just begin to pray in the name of Jesus if you want to pray in the Spirit Let's do that. Let's pray as the body of Christ right now. Let's pray there needs to be healing Let's pray for healing if there needs to be unity Let's pray for unity if there needs to be forgiveness. Let's ask for it in Jesus name Lord. We thank you that we can come together Thank you Lord We seek you Lord Jesus. We seek you we praise you we worship you. Thank you Lord Jesus for our brothers and sisters Thank you for the family of God Thank you Lord Jesus Work Oh God, thank you She got money Under that Keep praying hallelujah keep praying hallelujah pray in the spirit hallelujah Thank you lord Thank you jesus.

Hallelujah Thank you lord Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. John. John. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Bless you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. The Bible says in
Psalm 133, how good and how pleasant it is. How good and how pleasant it is when brothers and sisters dwell, live together in unity. For it's in that place where the anointing of God is present. Because the psalmist says it's like precious oil that's poured. Unity is like this precious oil that's poured down and runs down onto the beard of Aaron and the priests and then onto the clothing. But the oil represents the anointing of the Holy Spirit. And we're in a moment here where God is doing something in our hearts as we've pursued him that I believe is going to bring about greater anointing, greater power, more answers to prayer, greater breakthroughs. Some of you have been praying for a breakthrough. It's the anointing through unity that's going to bring about the breakthrough. We can talk about unity all we want to. We can make it our core value and do all those things. But until we have unity in our heart with our brothers and sisters, then there's a wall and we can't get through it. But there is a tearing down of a wall tonight. There's a tearing down of a wall and there is a unity that's being formed in the hearts of people that comes only supernaturally from God. And I'm going to ask Pastor John to come and just pray that, whatever the Holy Spirit puts in your heart to pray for that over us right now. I just felt you should come and do that. Yes, thank you. I'm going to start off first though. I think of one of my quotes from one of my favorite movies, Gladiator. And he says, what you do today will determine and will echo in eternity. And I think, man, I see this right here. This is phenomenal. Everybody pouring and praying over each other, loving over each other. This is unity. This is what it looks like. This is what family looks like over here. And so, Lord, we just, we lift up these people, Lord. Thank you, Father God, that when they step through those doors today, Lord, that scales drop from their eyes, from their ears, from their heart, Lord, that they are able to see you, Lord. They are able to hear you. They are able to feel your presence in here right now. Lord, thank you that you are unifying this congregation, Lord. Thank you that you are building a strong knit family here, Lord, that loves each other, that cares each other, that is going to bleed and cry and pray for each other, Lord. Thank you that we are glorifying your mighty name in all we do, Lord. Lord, I pray that when we step out of these doors, that people see nothing but your face on the face of every person in here, Lord. They see your grace. They see your humility. They see your forgiveness.
They see your courage. They see your boldness, Lord. Lord, let us take ground, unified, shoulder to shoulder, Lord, with our body armor combined and pushing forward with every step. Lord, may you be glorified around every single corner because of what you are doing in and through these people, Lord. Thank you that we get the opportunity to do ministry together, Lord. Thank you that you have blessed us with mighty warriors that will stand unified to take ground for you, Lord. Thank you for each and every single person in here and the anointing. We pray for a fresh anointing each and every single day to pour over them, Lord, from the top of their head to the bottom of their feet, Lord. Let them radiate your spirit, Lord. Let them look like Moses coming off the mountain each and every single day, Lord, that your presence would be undeniable in your people, Lord. would be undeniable in this church, Lord. Lord, thank you for what you're doing, Lord. We love you, and in Jesus' mighty name, amen, amen. Praise God. Well, I just asked Leslie, do you have something else planned? I'm thinking, okay, what are you doing next? And now I thought, you know what? I'm the pastor, so I'll just say what we're going to do now. Man, the last 30 hours has exceeded my expectations, Trent, in so many ways, and this moment also. Thank you, Leslie. Thank you, team, for just bringing us into this moment, into this moment to be in God's presence, but to be together with one another. It's so beautiful. It exceeded my expectations to see all of you here tonight. I just thought, oh, there'll be a few that want to pursue Jesus tonight. No, look at everyone here, and it's such a joy to experience this with you tonight. Now, let me ask you to do something. Pray this week. Keep on praying. I was so encouraged to hear there's a prayer group on Saturday morning. There's a prayer group on, I believe, Monday night that's starting again. Our staff is praying tomorrow morning. Continue to pray. Pray and keep on praying. I think this is a good place to invite somebody to come to church, so invite somebody. This morning, it exceeded my expectations, the attendance of people in all three services here, and I haven't talked to John yet, but I'm sure there's more people coming, so God is doing a great work. As you pray, He hears us, He answers, and let's continue to seek Him. Can I bless you before we leave? May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace. God bless you and your families and the work of your hands this week. In Jesus' name.
