Sunday Night Revival Service
In this powerful and convicting message from May 3rd, 2026, Pastor Richard Lorenzo Jr. confronts one of the most subtle dangers in modern faith: treating the church as a place to be temporarily cleansed while never truly leaving a life of sin. He exposes the cycle of coming to God for relief, only to return to the same patterns — likening this ritualistic approach to witchcraft, because it seeks to manage sin rather than surrender it.
The heart of the message is a call to get to the root of the issue: genuine repentance. Pastor Richard challenges listeners to stop living in confusion and cycles, to stop merely acting like they know God, and to make a real decision to follow Him. True transformation, he teaches, is not found in religious activity but in a wholehearted turning away from the old lifestyle.
There is a sobering warning from the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:23 — "I never knew you; depart from me." Pastor Richard makes clear that this departure is no small matter, but eternal separation from God. It is a final and urgent reminder that authentic relationship with Christ, not counterfeit faith, is what determines where we will spend eternity.
This message will challenge you to examine your walk, abandon empty religion, and pursue a true and lasting relationship with God.

Jesus Christ is Lord Jesus Christ is Lord Jesus Christ is Lord Jesus Christ is Lord Jesus Christ is Lord Jesus Christ is Lord I want to remind you I want to remind you here in this building that when the enemy tries to make you feel like you can't go another day the only thing that you can do is worship the only thing that you can do is praise that's the only thing the enemy cannot take away from you because the breath that's in your lungs was given by the Lord to do just that is to worship him and give him glory so some of you We're singing that our praise is a weapon, our shout is a weapon, our dance is a weapon. And I know I understand that life may be hard right now, but don't forget that the Lord gave you legs to dance. The Lord gave you hands to raise it up in the air. The Lord gave you a shout for you to fight back the enemy. So I encourage you to tell the enemy, not today, Satan, I'm gonna worship the Lord. I'm gonna worship the King, no matter what you throw at me, no matter what it is, no matter if I had surgery three weeks ago, I'm gonna give Him glory, because that's all I can do.
That's all I can give Him, is glory. What a God that we serve. I said, what a God that we serve. What a God, what a God, what a God, what a God. Oh, Lord, what a God, what a God.

Because at one point in our life we were in bondage At one point in our life we were broken At one point in our life we were enslaved to sin But God came into our life like a mighty Russian wind And He broke the power of sin over our lives by His blood on the cross Some of us have been deep in darkness, deep in chains of depression and anxiety But then God came into your life like a mighty Russian wind and He took it off of you That's why we worship Him like that That's why we praise Him, that's why we love Him That's why we worship King Jesus Because He's holy and worthy of praise Father, thank You, Lord Thank You for Your presence in this place Father, we just thank You for Your tangible presence Father, we honor You in this place And we thank You for what You've done

He was saying that a lot of times when we hear that passage We only just look at the blessing We're just like, man, look at the blessing He's going to open up the window of heaven Oh man, I'm going to give my tithe Because I want Him to open up the window of heaven But the Lord was showing me He's like, that's not what that passage is talking about How about we talk about the front part of that passage When He was calling Israel back to Himself When He was calling them back to honoring Him You see, the high priests It's not that they weren't giving Him an offering It's that the offerings that they were giving Him were defiled They were giving Him the scraps They were giving Him the bottom And the point of the tithe is to honor God The point of your tithe Your tithe is the heart saying, Father, I trust You I believe in what You are always doing and providing for me And this is my physical manifestation of my honor towards You, God That's what the tithe is for But the high priests, what they were doing is they didn't honor God And it's showed by their offering unto God And He was showing me that the response of heaven When a heart honors God Is that the heavens open up and blessings come down When you honor God from a deep place in your heart When you honor the Lord You give on to the Lord
When you reverence the Lord You give on to the Lord And when a heart that's postured in love and honor And says, Father, here is my tithe Here is the manifestation of my trust into You, Lord And as they give the tithe, the Lord opens up the window To the hearts that are half the honor towards God Hallelujah Are we gonna honor the Lord tonight in our giving, family? Are we not gonna be transactional tonight? I want everybody to stand to their feet Stand to their feet We're gonna honor the Lord tonight in our tithes and our offerings We're gonna honor the Lord and say, Father, this is my tithe This is my offering as a physical manifestation of my trust As a physical manifestation of my honor, Lord And I know because of who You are, blessings come He's a Father that loves to give You can never out-give Him But it's not transactional It's because You honor Him And a life that honors Him receives a blessing Hallelujah So every hand raised Father, we bless this offering tonight, Lord Father, we thank You That You're not raising up children You're not raising up up a remnant father that's transactional you're raising up a remnant that loves you father that honors you lord god and in our honor lord we give to you jesus in our honor lord we give

If we believe we receive. Amen. If we believe we if we believe we receive. Hallelujah. All right. Amen. So I just got back from Dallas. It was super powerful. God moved. Everyone say God moved. I just had to show up and God moved because I'm his son, because I'm in alignment, because he sent
me on assignment, and because I'm anointed by God to preach the gospel to heal the sick and cast out devils. So because God has anointed me, he's assigned me, I went out there and God backed me up in power and in his presence. Amen. And so many people were saved. The baptism line was so long. There were so many baptisms. There had to be at least over a hundred. People kept getting baptized and baptized and baptized. We praise you Jesus. But man I'm telling you like it was it was so it was so just inspiring and encouraging to see the amount of people out there that were just hungry for God. So many people came to just experience Jesus. So many people from all over. And man he definitely showed up. So many people. I saw young kids man like eight or nine years old getting delivered from demons and baptizing the Holy Spirit. Like truly being encountering the power of God. They had boxes and boxes of witchcraft getting being burnt out there with my brother Pastor Mario were burning witchcraft and it's just it was so I would say what's the word for it uplifting to see that God is not only moving here in Orlando but even over there in Dallas amen amen and he's moving all over the nation and all over the world right now and if you want how many y'all want to be used by god for revival okay it's very simple obey obey the lord faithful with little faithful with the problem is that not many want to be faithful with little faithful the little things like god saying i want you to fast and pray this week for a few days you have a choice you can say god maybe that's not you maybe that's just me but i don't know why the flesh would even want you to fast right you can make a decision to say well god you're not mad at me i'm saved i'm gonna skip it this time and do it later yeah you're saved you're washed by the blood you're going to heaven you're god's son you're god's daughter amen but what you've been praying for to be used by god for revival starts at that that three-day water fest but i'm working okay you want revival that but i'm working excuse has to be thrown out the window you see god wants obedience obedience is way better than sacrifice if you sacrifice without obedience it's pointless obedience is the greatest sacrifice this is why not everybody can be used by god a lot of people can be saved but not everybody can be used by god the way god wants to use them to fully maximize their potential in christ the scripture says 30 fold 60 fold 100 fold that some
some will have 30 fold 60 fold and some 100 fold what do you want your potential to be in your lifetime only 30 60 or 100 of what god has predestined for your life who wants 100 okay you know that you know you know you know what it takes the cross it takes death it takes death to your own life and your own desires and picking up your cross daily and following him everyone say daily that's the hardest part for people because they want themselves more than they want jesus you can worship god in a service you can evangelize for god and still care about you more than him and god wants to show you those areas of your heart so you can let him deal with it but not everybody wants to go through the surgery because it's painful it's so painful all the things that have been embedded in your heart for all these years are now getting surgically removed with a with a knife with a scalpel that's why the word of god it pierces the communication of god to us pierces pierces the communication of god to us the true word of god what god is saying in this moment the rhema word it pierces because god will show you what he wants but then you got to make a decision everyone say free will i was preaching that this morning at my on my pastor's church about free will you know it's the greatest fuel source to a heart to make the right choice when god says something let me tell you love i know somebody knows the love of god when they follow god and they're obedient you can say you know the love of god all day but those who are obedient truly love god isn't that what jesus says if you love me when you love god you're willing to sacrifice whatever you're picking up that cross the rich ruler the young rich ruler he had everything on lock religion investments money property stature probably was a good looking guy everyone in the city respected him and he came to jesus on his knees said what must i do to have eternal salvation and jesus looked at him gazed and it says with love he loved him with agape he said give up everything and that same man walked away give up all your riches give up everything that you love so much all your investments all the things that you work so hard for give it up and follow me he couldn't do it he walked away because he loved his riches too much that's that's for us it's not just what you're saying well i'm broke i don't got no riches it's not about money it's not about having riches it's about idols if god's telling you something and you're not doing it you are pausing his purposes for your life you are making the Free will decision to put it on pause and you will not see God move and the way he wants to until you decide to
Repent everyone say repent He's not a respecter of persons he shows no partiality But not everybody gets used by God the same way because they don't want to give things up And we're gonna go over Matthew 11 tonight. I want to really go through this chapter I've been meditating and teaching on it all week. I taught on Kingdom come out there in Dallas. My brother's a minister I taught their leadership Matthew 11 and man, they were touched they were wrecked man. They were edified and encouraged It was so good. The Spirit of God was flowing. I want to ask how many people in this building right now have been going through pressure be honest Raise your hand if you've been going through pressure Keep your hands up if you've been feeling like giving up Okay I'm gonna do something first before I read the chapter Kevin. Come here So, this is Kevin and we're gonna get into a fight, okay, everyone see him So Kevin squirrel me so about let's just dance, okay So we're about to fight And I'm throwing punches and I'm hitting him. He's losing. Hey, hey, he's losing now. Hit me back. Oh My god, I can't believe you hit me. Keep hitting me. Oh my god hit me again. Oh my gosh I can't believe it. He hit me. He hit me. What should I be doing right now? hitting back But I'm so focused on him hitting me once two or three times then now I've gotten beat up to the ground And I was winning Thank You Kevin That's some of you right now And we're gonna break it down in Matthew 11. You ready? All right, let's go through it. Y'all better stay awake Some of you came you thought man if I come to the altar and he touches me my life will change No, the Word of God will touch you if you open up your heart. Listen to me Open up your heart. It ain't me. Some of you are looking at me right now Who is this guy?
I'm a nobody I'm a surrendered vessel to Jesus Christ Amen some of you are confounded by a miracle Maybe some of you haven't seen miracles in your for years decades Maybe you heard about a miracle in the church and you were raised in the church. And right now you just seem like five six Miracles are normal in the ministry of Christ John the Baptist preached repentance But he didn't move in miracles But he paved the way for the one to come who did The entire ministry of Christ was miraculous Jesus Y'all ready So at this point in Matthew 11 Jesus has already been baptized by John The Prophet John the baptizer in the Jordan River He's already fasted 40 days in the wilderness already called his 12 disciples already preached the Sermon on the Mount He's already healed the lepers already calmed the storms. He's already casted out a bunch of devils He's actually already raised the dead and just finished sending his 12 out with authority to do the same. Okay quick intro Now it came to pass verse 1 When Jesus finished commanding his 12 disciples that he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities And when John I want to say John Had Heard in prison about the works of Christ. He sent two of his disciples This is not John who writes first second and third John. This is the Prophet John. This is the man Who was commissioned by God as a messenger to prepare the way for the Lord who baptized Jesus in the Jordan River? John this John Who was preaching repentance and baptizing people John who went straight against the Pharisees before Jesus even came John who was bold as a lion John But now he's locked up
Because he rebuked somebody with authority higher authority King Herod and he rebuked him for sleeping with his brother's wife He told King Herod that he was wrong That he needs to repent and King Herod didn't like that. So King Herod, King Herod locked him up in prison So now John the Baptist who baptized Jesus was probably on fire He baptized the Christ who he's not he felt that he wasn't even worthy to even feel the sandals that he was walking in and he And he came out the water. He seen the Spirit of God descend upon him like a dove bodily. He heard the father speak He seen Jesus do all these things like man. I got to baptize Jesus Everybody's gonna repent Everybody's gonna repent and follow the Messiah. Yeah repent locked up he's locked up now and now he's doubt he's doubting now he's he's worried so he sends two of his disciples to go find out is Jesus really the one what you just experienced the Christ and you baptized him and now you're wondering if Jesus is actually the Messiah everyone say offended verse 3 and he said to him are you the coming one or do we look for another Jesus answered to his two disciples and said to them go and tell John the things what you hear and see everyone say here and see and this is how he backs up his deity he backs up him being the Messiah this is what he says go tell John this the blind see in the lame walk the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them Jesus essentially tells John here open the scroll you've been preaching your whole life and look at the receipts because the proof of the Messiah is never the comfort of the prophet but the freedom of the people verse 6 and blessed is he who is not offended because of me everyone say John was offended but why why is he offended he's offended because he didn't think that he should be locked up because he thought that Jesus was gonna free him out the prison when he got locked up from King Herod I could already imagine he was probably over there like it's all good because Jesus is gonna free me he's the Savior he's gonna free me out of this prison I'm gonna keep on preaching and then all and then time goes by and Jesus is casting out devils and raising the dead and going from city to city and he's in prison waiting and waiting and suffering
he gets to such a point that he's now offended or he doubts if Jesus is really the Messiah we think coming to Christ means everything is gonna be candyland we think coming to Christ means everything is gonna just be dandelions and ice cream we think coming to Christ means we're just gonna be dipping cookie and milk all every day and we're gonna say everything's gonna be great we think coming to Christ means our life just gets a hundred percent better we add Jesus to our life like a self-help coach or a mentor because I like his teachings where he's only a rabbi to you but he's not Lord he's only a teacher to you but he's not Lord right and then things are going well but then the minute things start happening and keep happening you start to freak out and get offended by God and you stop following him and you were on fire for a little bit you were reading the word for a little bit you were praying for a little bit but because you didn't get what you want answered now you're doubting is he really the Messiah everyone say the flesh that's the flesh speaking we think it's the demons yeah it could be a devil but most of the time it's your own flesh it's you speaking the old man because you're not in the spirit because you don't because you're not reading the scriptures and meditating on it because you're not spending time with God the way you should to understand who he is everyone say revelation John 17 3 says this is eternal life that we should know him right so for the rest of our life here on earth and even into eternity we're gonna be getting to know and experience God we don't go to heaven and everything is just done I have the maximum amount of revelation of God what do I do now no when we get to heaven we're still going to be learning about who he is who he is is infinite his mysteries are endless he's never boring this is why I serve God the way I do if my serving of Jesus was based on things that I can get from him it wouldn't last long because following Christ for real means you're gonna suffer following Christ for real comes with death to self this is not a false gospel that we preach here at the rock but the America's been like a parasite infected with a false gospel and comforted and and and and
lukewarm this who saw the deep michigan video where we went to the the number one city in the nation for for muslim population well guess what when we got to dallas we went to another spot called uh it's called epic it's known as east plano islamic center guess what they're doing in that city the same thing that they just the state just approved that they can have over a thousand houses health care their own society in texas in the backyard of dallas so we went there and we went straight into the mosque on a friday where they had their services and the security came out saw us i was respectful he walked us straight in favor straight to the to where the lead head security is they're one of their leaders and they took us to the back and allowed us to interview them and they spoke about everything you know you know you know he told me oh we love christians i told him i'm a pastor he goes so many christian brothers and so many denominations that partner with us and we work together to to feed the homeless and go do good works together and i said well jesus loves you and oh i love jesus but to them he's just a prophet and you know what's wrong with a lot of christians nowadays you'll hear that and think oh that's so loving and nice yeah i agree no and i told him i said you know it's a slap in my face from what you believe you believe all these things like he was born of a virgin and others but you don't believe in his death barrel and resurrection you don't believe he died on that cross you believe that he was switched out with judas and that's where it gets real awkward because now they have to say something about it now the jesus that you love is not the jesus that i serve it's a different a different jesus and us as christians if we don't stand up and actually fight we will be trampled on by these muslim people it's not and it's not the people it's that satanic anti-christ spirit in islam that's gonna come and try to take our children and our grandchildren and and our brothers and sisters you know what happened alex we leave the interview it's so powerful he let me pray over him he got was confounded by the word of god it was great we walk out i'm talking about over a thousand people they had a whole upper spot for women in a lower spot for men i'm talking about they had an overflow imagine this times 10 locked in people locked in with the imam preaching big old tv in the and and the foyer and everything and we're out there we're about to leave and he starts talking about christians you know what he says you know what he says he goes sin produces consequences but he said you see christians they believe that god is just this all-loving god
and they just keep on sinning and they don't care that's not us we're different and i just i it was like so timely that it happened so perfect timing we got it on video and everything and i said and i said this is the problem because of the false gospel even muslims know it's fake and they're using it as an evangelistic tool to bring people into their false religion and take people to hell satan is literally using the lukewarmness of the church to deceive people to the lake of fire this is not a joke if we don't wake up i'm telling you man they'll take over this nation and we'll and we'll man it'll it'll just i'm probably gonna get martyred because i'm not gonna stop preaching the gospel and i'm not gonna i'm not gonna conform to that i'm not i'm not gonna conform to that there's no way i'd rather die about it i'm serious because i've experienced god because i know him and i know that jesus is the only way do you know jesus is the only way so when a muslim speaks to you are you willing to stand up for truth and i'm not saying get angry and try to fight them as you watch my videos that's not what i do i've been through that i've been through where i was a little bit too harsh and god has refined my heart to have understanding so when i speak to muslims now they're actually really receptive because i'm able to communicate in a way where they receive it but i will never bow down to the idea that they love the jesus that i love they don't they love a false jesus a false christ many false christs will rise up in the last days false prophets that's you want to know what a false prophet is an imam that's a real false prophet that's a real false prophet and people are following them to hell bro look at this everyone say offense but we're so caught up in life that we get offended by God because we don't know him we don't understand who he is and we don't understand what it really means to walk as a disciple of Jesus Christ the Bible says we will pick up our cross do you understand what it what it means to pick up your cross when Jesus was carrying his cross was he smiling and jumping up and down and and happy and talking and just chilling no he was suffering he was bleeding he was in agonizing pain and Jesus said that if you come to him he told the young rich ruler this to pick up his cross before he even picked up his cross he was prophesying to teach us that coming to Christ has nothing to do with what we can attain in this life it's actually about giving it all up to
follow him and you know it's the I was teaching this this morning you know it's the greatest thing that you could that you that you get by doing that who wants to know we get to experience God and the Muslims can't so I get to experience God within time and space his presence his revelation dreamer vision a Kairos moment his love hitting my heart I get to experience the God outside of time and space and know without a doubt that he's real right now we just experienced God you can't go to a Muslim mosque and see that you can't go to a Muslim mosque and see that they can't do that but Jesus can and this is why I kept saying I was praying and I said may this point people to you God because people get idolatrous and then they look at the man and say I'm gonna follow him they did the same thing with Christ he raises the dead Lazarus on the fourth day and they scream Hosanna they scream him you know why they scream Hosanna because of the miracle and they thought he's gonna free us from roaming captivity they had a they had something tied to it that could benefit their life and then not too long later crucify him he got arrested he's supposed to free us from roaming captivity he's not though he's not the Christ crucify him because now Jesus cannot benefit their life even though they saw Lazarus being risen from the dead on the fourth day now because Jesus is locked up and he can't physically free Israel from roaming captivity now they scream crucify him and I know that walking on this walk people will do the same thing I love you Pastor Rich you're so amazing that miracle was great but the minute the minute I don't benefit your life in the way that you want forget him that's the walk of a Christian we follow Jesus we're gonna go through the same things and because I know this I don't get offended because I know this I don't let it hit my heart I understand everyone say understanding you know the problem with John the Baptist was he didn't have understanding from the Holy Spirit and I'm gonna prove that you ready seven as they departed Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John what did you go out into the wilderness to see a reed shaken by the wind so look the moment John's disciples leave to carry Jesus's answer back Jesus turns to the crowd and starts publicly defending John's
reputation so nobody mistakes his question for weakness look at this but what did you go out to see a man clothed in soft garments indeed those who wear soft soft clothing are in Kings houses Jesus is contrasting John who were what did he wear camel's hair and lived in the wilderness with with the soft robe religious elites and palace insiders who never once challenged the king the way John challenged Harriet okay look at this real prophets don't wear soft clothing they wear the friction of the wilderness because anointing is sand paper before it is silk amen John was different but look at this verse 9 but what did you go out to see a prophet yes I say to you and more than a prophet Alex he begins to honor John now he's honoring John the man who just questioned if he was the Messiah who baptized him you would think he'd be like forget John I'm over here doing the work of the Lord he doesn't understand let him be but Jesus everyone say understanding he has understanding and begins to honor John John amongst the people look at this for this is he of whom it is written behold I send you my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. He's quoting, he's quoting from Malachi 3.1, and it implies it directly to John, publicly identifying him as the prophesied messenger who would precede the Messiah after 400 years of prophetic silence, right? Look at this, verse 11. Assuredly, I say to you, I love this, among those born of a woman, there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. Who in here has been born of a mother's womb? So according to that, is he greater than you? According to that, is he greater than you? No, he's not. You know why?
Because you've been born again. You've been born again. Were you born again? Born of the womb of the spirit. So now Jesus is giving revelation. I'm gonna read it again. Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of a woman, there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John, than he. Who's giving their life to Christ tonight? All of you that give your life to Christ tonight, baby, two-minute Christian who gets baptized in the water, praise God, you're better than John the Baptist. But why? Why, preacher man, why? How am I better than John the Baptist? He wore sackcloth and he fasted and he ate locusts and honey and he baptized Jesus. How is this possible? Because John was the last prophet under the old covenant. John was the hinge. And now because of Jesus, we are born again and receive resurrection power. Why did John doubt Jesus? Because he did not have resurrection power indwelling him. Everyone say amen. Say resurrection power. Look at this.
Verse 12, and from the days of John the Baptist, this is the verse right here, you ready? Drum roll, right? And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. What does that mean? Let's break it down. Was John the Baptist going through it? Okay. What was he preaching? What was his message? Repentance. John the Baptist preaching repentance gets locked up in prison and eventually gets beheaded because he was preaching repentance. The kingdom of heaven suffers violence. If we go out to the streets or to our family and friends and we preach repentance, who does that piss off? The devil. Because people will actually get saved. The devil loves a lukewarm gospel. If you stay in your sin and practice iniquity and think you're saved, you're the perfect candidate for his team. That's what he wants. He wants you to think that I'm too religious or I'm too much. That guy, he preaches too much. He's over, he's overboard.
If you think I'm overboard and you can get comfortable in your sin and just live for the devil and claim to know Jesus, you're the perfect candidate for his team because once you die, your soul will be taken to hell with the quickness. He wants that. He wants you to think that you're gifting or whatever you do is all you gotta do for God. Can you play an instrument? You straight. Can you make a post? You straight. Can you edit a video? You straight if you can do social media marketing for God and claim to know him, but then you can't give up the porn. But then you can't give up the weed. You can't give up the fornication. You know why he's rising up people that look like me? Because I would never think that I'm actually living holy. You would think I'm just like you. Oh, he's just like me, right? No, I really encountered the living God, the Christ, and I gave everything up and I'm living separated from the world, truly walking with Jesus. For real, for real. And I'm not boasting that I'm better than you. I'm not because I was dead and I was wretched
and I was all the way gone, a sinner. He touched me with his love. One touch changed my whole life. And I really made the decision to follow Christ and surrender to him and die to myself daily. I gave it all up. That's what a disciple is. That's what it means to be saved. I'm not just more radical than you. We're just the remnant and you could be something else. You know, I used to think like that. We're just a more radical church. We're just chosen by God for. something different and it's okay no god is calling the entire church to be like the early church this whole you're a book of acts type church doesn't even make sense biblically the early church is how the entire church is supposed to be since pentecostal right now but what have you been seeing sinagogues of satan false churches wooing people with ear tickling messages straight to hell bro and i'm not i'm not even the type of guy that preaches hellfire and brimstone i don't but it's very very real like i really believe that jesus christ is the only way do you i really believe that islam is not gonna i can't make it to heaven through islam i can't have a relationship with god through buddhism i can't have a relationship with god through witchcraft i really used to smoke and i really used to drink a lot and i really gave it up i really wasn't drunk i really was doing a lot of drugs and a lot of things that are that people in the world do i was all the way in but i really gave it up because i encountered god i experienced god and i continue to that daily bread of experience that daily bread why do you think he references why do you think he says give us this day our daily bread what does that actually mean does it mean you're eating a loaf of bread does it mean to that give me the daily scripture how many of y'all are reading the verse of the day and you're still in sin think about it is it really a scripture or is it communication from god to us where we experience him where it's
a now word where i read the verse of the day and i experience that verse in my life and it becomes alive and it imparted into my heart or or maybe god he answers a prayer that day or or his presence is in worship that i can experience anytime that is my daily bread i need everyone say i need that if i don't have that i'm not gonna make it if i don't have experience with god daily i will go back to the world and be seven times worse i'm dead to this life are you for the ones that are giving their lives to christ tonight catch the real gospel message that's what it means to believe you believe this good news that jesus christ died on that cross for my sins and i'm forgiven he's my lord the highest power he really rose from the dead and i'm repenting everyone say repentance let me tell you something the kingdom of heaven suffers violence when you start actually preaching repentance and the violent take it back by force what does the who's the violent that takes it back by force us what am i taking back by force the kingdom of heaven so i go through suffering i go through violence and that word for violence is the word pressure i go through pressure who is experiencing pressure as a christian praise god you're actually saved so you're going through violence you're going through pressure you're in a battle you're fighting you're fighting you came to christ you were doing great you were hitting you and then now you start getting hit what do you need to do hit back the kingdom of heaven takes it back by force okay so what's taking it back by force doesn't mean i'm gonna literally box demons no i'm gonna tell you what i do now and the world that was it was a gun or it was fighting or it was scheming or whatever it was in the world to take to to take things back by force the demonic way but now in christ the weapons of my warfare are not carnal but are mighty in god so what weapons do i have now now instead of instead of scheming and and trying to figure it out myself i so generously because i trust that god will bring it back in the right time watch this now instead of speaking and gossiping to people instead of opening my mouth for satan i open up my mouth and i pray in the spirit i begin to intercede and declare the word of god over the situation because i know that my my battle is not against flesh and blood it ain't people it ain't people it's devils and if the devil can convince me that the person is issue i lost now i'm swinging and the demons over here and i'm swinging the wrong way you want to hit the enemy with accuracy you got to understand these things so how do i take it back
but by force now you know what happens when i'm going through pressures i get in the spirit and i go win a soul now i go out to the streets and evangelize because the devil hates when you preach the gospel he hated john so much so much to the point where jezebel literally got him beheaded to fulfill what she said in the book of Kings. She wanted the head of Elijah but she didn't get the head of Elijah but she got the head of the one who was carrying the mantle or the spirit of Elijah John the Baptist. She's a wicked witch, she's a spirit and that witch has so many Christians in bondage so many of God's children in bondage and they don't want to give they don't want to give up the fornication, they don't want to give up the control of their life, they don't want to give up the witchcraft, they don't want to give up the vaping and the weed and they want to justify it and act like everything's quiet. That's a Jezebel spirit. She's the spirit in the world. That's the spirit of the world. You ever scroll on social media you see all these things. What do you see on social media be honest. Lust, love of money, fame, it's all about you you you this you and and I could be great. No, that's the Jezebel spirit. How do we come against that Jezebel spirit? I'll tell you, live a surrendered life to Jesus and truly follow him and I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen after you do that Pat, she gonna start applying that pressure. Pat she's not worried about someone who plays an instrument but is in fornication and she likes that. That's why we don't allow anyone on this altar who's living in fornication and sin. Think I'm allowed that? Bro, I've had to calm down because I used to be a lot worse for real. It pisses me off that people when I look in someone's eyes and I know they don't love God. I want to use him and prostitute him like he's like like he's man I don't care I don't care how you've been raised I don't care what what track record you got I'm asking you do you love God if you do where's your fruit everyone say where's your fruit where's your fruit at I look at Benji I examine him where's your fruit at okay you got good fruit we good he examines me okay he's good we examine each other I test him he tests me that's what brothers do but I'm not gonna be over here acting like everything's cool when you when you're working for the devil I'm gonna not let Satan in this
church and that's what a lot of pastors do and then it becomes lovey-dovey let's just have a performance up here let's just make sure everything sounds amazing and it's the right people we could pay them and then everything looks great and everyone will come in and now it looks like we're a good church but we're dead and you don't see no power no transformation nobody's changing you walk around ask the leaders questions the leaders are all up in sin the productions team all up in sin your children are being watched by women in fornication that's real in the church you got worship leaders in the back smoking dope and they go up high to worship God that's real in the church and I'm not over here like oh you're gonna I'm condemning you to hell no what's the Bible say look at the speck I look at my own log right but then I could come right back and inspect you again am I tripping or what Benji does the scripture say that we get so caught up in oh you look at the speck of my look at your log okay where's my log at okay I got it out let me come right back it's inspection everyone say inspection God is bringing revival to the church I'm not I went out to Dallas I just saw hope man I saw so many hungry Christians bro my brother Pastor Mario is a real man of God and I know this guy I know him personally I would not co-sign someone it's hard you know how hard it is for me to co-sign people they know this I'm very like I I've had to repent of being too like not trusting people because I don't know what their life is like it's hard for me to bring people to preach at this church I gotta like no I have to know it's a God thing for real I've had opportunities to be on platforms with of some of the biggest preachers you know right now I've got I had opportunity to be on platforms with millions of followers turned down like this because I fear God because God says no it's not about the platform and oh we're gonna blow up now and we're gonna be well-known no I don't God will lift me he's the one who promotes promotion don't come from the north or that no it comes from him so the scriptures say right not from the north east south the west comes from God body of Christ everyone
say exam we have to examine ourselves if not we're going to be like john the baptist a prophet under the old covenant and not moving a new covenant resurrection power the least in the kingdom of god are greater than john the baptist who was the greatest prophet person born of a mother's womb that goes to show you that what you have now inside of you when you're born again gives you power to prophesy power to overcome sin power to cast out a devil power to pray and get understanding of why i'm going through this situation i'm going through pressure i don't know what's going on in the name of jesus lord i pray that you reveal the reveal what you conceal and then i get a revelation a download and god shows me what's going on the direction and i know exactly how to execute that's called knowledge from god understanding about why it's happening and the wisdom to execute according to his plan we say god guide my feet but then we don't seek god to know which way we're supposed to go he can't guide you your guidance can't come from a pastor only a true pastor will point you to the great shepherd you come to christ and you're new in the faith amen you'll stumble you'll make mistakes and that's why you have a pastor to be there to help you out but eventually you need to grow onto maturity where you can hear from the lord yourself where you can get direction from god and will you mess up sometimes you will but it's okay that's the process all god needs is someone with faith he can do man mighty works with one person with faith everyone say violence again some of you are going through this pressure i'm gonna stop right here at matthew 11 12 because i want you guys to truly understand that walking this walk out in christ it comes with pressure but we have to know what to do when the pressure comes we have to learn that what it means to praise what does it mean to praise god is it just to come here like we're in a at a soccer game to just look cool and feel good for a moment or is it actually artillery in the spirit so when you're out there throughout going through war and pressures you know how to beat the devil at that that demonic atmosphere that's coming at your head how many of y'all been going through a demonic atmosphere of heaviness this whole week raise your hand why the bible says he gives you peace the bible says that that his yoke is easy his burdens light the bible says he did not give you a spirit of heaviness but a garment of this is why you need discipleship this is why you need to be plugged into a church this is why you need a leader and a pastor in your life because if you're part of a church and you have this issue
they'll teach you on tuesday when that thing hit and you only have that heaviness for an hour and then you got joel calling you saying open up your mouth and praise and it breaks off you and now you're good for the rest of the week the word is not just there to be read it's there to be it's there to to actually be used as a weapon that's why the bible says it's a sword to fight against the enemy we got so many christian rappers who will say the word of god is my blick the word of god is this the word of god is my strap and all these things and i get it it's cool it's powerful if you actually mean it and then you're saying the word of god is my is this and that but then you live in a completely different lifestyle the word of god ain't your weapon the bible says the word of god will actually judge those who don't follow it that same word that she's saying is your gun will be the same thing that judges you we think oh it's god that's coming down on me he's mad at me i gotta get right with god now how about this alex oh because i'm going through life and everything's bad i need to go to church so i can so god can be happy he can be um cool with me and then we're good god i i got baptized or i i went to the altar and got prayed for and let me go back to my mess no that's that's what that's probably what you've been taught you know you know where they do that joelle in witchcraft they'll tell you to come and get a bind your to get cleaned and to take these herbs and do all these things so you can get cleaned of evil spirits and then go out and come back and keep doing it that's witchcraft so using the church as a place to clean you and go back to your mess like god is cool with you being in your sin no you need to get to the root of the issue which is you needing to repent you needing to making that decision to follow god for real you saying god i'm done with this lifestyle i'm done with the cycles i'm done with being confused i'm done with acting like i know you but i don't really know you like that because the bible says that jesus will say i never knew you many people, depart from me. You know what it means when it says depart from me? What do you think it means? Just go move to the side? No, you're gonna go to the lake of fire. And I don't want none of y'all to go to the lake of fire, none of y'all. And everything I preach, I'm being held to the standard of the things I teach. So if I teach these things and I don't follow it, I can be disqualified. You know why it's the Bible says that a teacher is worth, is worth double honor? It's not because they can teach and preach the word with an anointing and
a gift, no. It's because the very thing they're teaching, they're gonna get attacked with the same thing they're teaching with that pressure. That's why you see a lot of pastors getting taken out. Because they're preaching about war and they ain't even at war. Or they're preaching about war and they're working for the enemy. That's true, right? You see y'all, y'all so quick to be like, false prophet, I knew it. He's a false teacher. Are you a false prophet in your life? Are you a false teacher in your life? Are you teaching your friends and family about God but then you're living for the devil? You're a false prophet in your life. You just don't got a platform. Today is the day of repentance. Tonight is the night of repentance. Tonight is the night for people to come to this altar and get deliverance, to get healing, to truly surrender, to get baptized in the Holy Spirit, to receive your prayer language, to get your healing. You know what this altar is? This altar is a place where you come up, you come to Jesus and you're given weaponry to go to war. Everyone say soldier. We are soldiers in a war. We are actually called to suffer like a good soldier. That's what the Bible says. A soldier goes to war. A soldier goes through sometimes sleepless nights. A soldier sometimes gets shot at and has to get healing. A soldier goes through battles and goes through all types of things when you're really out there in the field and that's what it means to be a Christian and as a baby God's not going to just throw you out into a battle you cannot win. Now the Bible says he won't do that as a matter of fact but you actually have to get trained up and for some of you your battle right now is actually coming to Christ for real and you come to Christ your next battle is actually getting plugged into a church. The next battle is actually receiving from a leader even though you have wounds from your father or mother and letting the Holy Spirit heal you and when you're faithful with little you'll be faithful with much and the next thing you know after your training is going and going and going now God starts lifting you to places you can't even imagine and it freaks you out because it's actually real because God is actually real and his word is truly alive. You know what it means for something to be alive? It's active. Everyone say active. That's what the word that's what the Bible says the word is alive and active. It means you can actually experience it. The Quran is not alive and active. The Quran is dead. Dead religion. Tonight is the night of repentance. I'm gonna say this too. I know I'm preaching a real a real cutting message. The Bible says there's no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
right? So you're not condemned. Be grateful that you're convicted. Be grateful that this touches you and brings you to godly sorrow which leads to repentance. Be grateful that God allowed you to be in this place to hear this message because it's not being preached in a lot a lot of different churches. What do you want? A 45 minute sermon? 15 minutes of worship? A 10 minute ear tickling message and a nice lovey-dovey altar call where there's no anointing? Is that what you want? Hands laid on you and you're like no power. No experience. And you got some cookies and some cakes outside and some coffee. That's a business. It's not a church. And if you're a pastor watching, repent. If that's been you and you've been living like this, I don't hate you. Repent. Change. Pastors should not be watching pornography. Oh but the blood of Jesus wipes me clean and yeah the blood of Jesus wipes you clean but if you're struggling with porn you need to get off the pulpit. And I say this for real. I say this because I love you. Because the minute you start excusing those things, the small foxes that lead to the whole vine being destroyed. I'm telling you, God will not be mocked. Pastors should live consecrated lifestyles. It is normal for a pastor to have a prayer life, to seek the Lord for an hour, two or three hours a day. That's supposed to be normal for pastors. That's supposed to be normal for a Christian. They'll say that Alex, this church is just too radical. Right up here, it's just too radical. I want to go to a church that's not as radical. No? Did you give your life to Christ or did you just give them 50%? I don't know about you, but why do you think? Look at the people in our church. They're sold out, right? And it's the people that you would never expect. You look at them, you're like, you know why? Because those people were sold out for the world, encountered God. Because what does the youth want? They want the real. What are the kid, he's freaking out, my hip, my hip, right? Other people just freaking out. Is this real? What the heck? They want real, but then once you get that real, what are you gonna do with it? Once you now know that God is real, what are you going to do? Everyone say choice. You have free will. I'm here to tell you,
heaven is real and hell is real. And if you don't repent and give your life to Christ and you died today or tomorrow, you will go straight to the lake of fire. And there's no repentance in the lake of fire. I don't care if you're 21, 19, 25, 36, 52. You don't know when it's your last day. Don't play around with God. It's very real. And don't just come to him to go to heaven. Come to him because you're about to serve him for the rest of your life. And one of the benefits of that is that you will be in heaven with him in glory. But not only that, you will experience him now here on earth, as on earth as it is in heaven. Amen. All right, I see a vape up here. If some of y'all got vapes and cigarettes or weed or drugs in your car, this is an alarm for you to go to your car right now and get it and bring it to the altar. You might have it in your purse. You might have it in your pocket. You don't have to ask anybody. You can go bring it up right now or whenever. Go get it and bring it up. And we're gonna have this altar call. Let's all close our eyes. Just focus your heart on Jesus. So, Holy Spirit, I thank you that you've been cutting tonight with the Word of God. Man, Lord. Thank you for revival, Lord. Thank you that America will not back down, Lord. That we're gonna suffer violence and take it back by force, Lord. Father, I pray that you touch people's hearts here and here tonight. Lord, I pray soldiers get commissioned tonight. People who are really going to walk this walk out for real. Not just converts who come to the front to go to heaven, but people who come to lay down their life. Who want to walk this walk out for real. Lord, touch their hearts, Lord. I pray every person that comes up here is truly giving their life to Jesus. And if they're not ready, it's okay. They can sit down. Keep coming to these Sunday night services until they're ready. No one's mad at them, but they got the gospel. They understand it, Lord. In Jesus' name. And the church says together, if you want to give your life to Christ, come to this altar right now. Come up here. Come up to the altar. And if you're watching online, you can put a one in the chat. Hallelujah. Give Jesus some praise. Come on. Hallelujah. All right. This is so good. I'm so happy for y'all because you're really giving
your life to Jesus. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah, man. This is real. It's not about an altar being filled. It's about true quality people giving their life to Jesus. Amen. Quality heart posture. I want you all to just close your eyes and meditate your heart on Jesus. I want you to say this, say, Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God, equal to the Father and the Spirit. God revealed to us the highest power. You are Lord. I believe you were born of a virgin and lived a sinless life, and you did many miracles, signs and wonders, and you gave yourself in to take the physical punishment for my sin, to take the consequences that my sin produces. Today you suffered, and you carried a cross, and you were tortured for me, and you went up on the cross and said, it's finished. You defeated death. You defeated the world. You defeated Satan and his kingdom. You were buried, and on the third day, you rose from the dead to give me power, so your blood wipes me clean. Say all my sins are forgiven. Say I am fully forgiven. Say thank you, Lord, that you love me so much, and you're so forgiving and so merciful, but I'm not going to take that for granted. Say Holy Spirit, impart in me the fear of the Lord. I want to reverence you and respect you. Say Jesus, I'm done. I repent of following the world, of following sin. I'm all in, in Jesus' name. Prayer warriors, let's start laying hands, okay? Come on. Thank you, Lord.
Oh, oh, oh. Put a guard in the crowd. Yeah. Who will find I'll find you at the lowest place? Who will find you'll fill me in the crowd? Who knew you'd make another time mistake?

If you want to receive your prayer language, put your hands in the sky, stop overthinking it. Every good gift comes from the Father of lights and he wants his children to have good gifts, especially the gifts of the Spirit. It's faith, which is belief in action, so in a second, I'm going to say body of Christ, even for those watching online, open up your mouth and pray and we're going to pray. We're going to pray for the next three to five minutes in the Spirit and I believe people here are going to get baptized in the Holy Ghost with the tongues coming out like fire.

My God, he's moving. My God, he's moving. My God, he's moving. My God, he's moving. My God, he's moving. My God, he's moving. Hallelujah. Man, so many people got baptized in the Holy Spirit, huh? Wow. The Lord loves you guys. He wants you guys to be endued with power. Let me tell you something, man. He actually said, do not forbid the speaking of tongues, but make sure everything is done in decency and order.
So listen to me. Tongues is not something that we should be scared about. Tongues is not something that we should be like, oh, am I biblically off? No, the Bible says, do not forbid the speaking of tongues, but make sure everything is done in decency and order. In that chapter of Corinthians, he's bringing order to a church that was completely out of order. They were worshiping a false god. They weren't submitting the woman. The men were going crazy, sleeping with their stepmom. It was a very compromised church that he was bringing order to. Amen. But we can't take these scriptures and read it the wrong way. way and then be scared about praying in tongues when Paul said I pray in tongues more than all of you but he was bringing revelation to a church that was out of order and said but in a church setting he rather prophesied that he would not speak in any tongues because they were wilding out in the church super charismatic with no order and this church is very orderly we pray in tongues together corporately the order of service is very spirit-led but orderly this is why we need to understand the hermeneutics of scripture because if we don't know what's going on we'll take a verse and completely weaponize it against ourselves like a muslim does praying in tongues is one of the most powerful gifts of the spirit that's why the devil goes against it the most in my opinion tongues and prophecy the devil hates when something is revealed to someone a prophetic word about what's going to happen in their future or a word of knowledge the devil hates prophecy because it it proves that christians actually have power so we got to pray for our prophets pray for those who are truly walking in that office or prophetic people because they get attacked the most and the devil hates tongues because the bible says when you don't know what to pray for the spirit prays for you things that you don't know so when i begin to pray in tongues and i begin to shut up
i'm praying for things that i need the spirit of god is praying through me things that i don't even know i need it's perfect prayer i don't have to even think about it and the bible says that my faith in the book of judas is build up your most holy faith praying in the spirit so now not only am i praying for what i need that i don't even know about but now my faith is being stirred after 30 minutes of tongues i can go from doubting something to being on fire for god some of you are going through confusion and double-mindedness and doubt because you're not praying in the spirit at our church i recommend everybody to pray in tongues daily if you just got your prayer language tonight even for the people that have had their prayer language have an assignment for you 30 minutes of tongues for 30 days try that if you feel like the holy spirit is is touching you right now or he's he's it's resonating with you right now try 30 minutes of tongues for 30 days give god 30 minutes of undivided attention put on a worship instrumental and pray in the spirit for 30 minutes for 30 days your life will change in 30 days it will not look the same you'll get revelation you'll get downloads your dream your dreams will probably be taken to another level you'll start getting prophetic dreams you'll realize that your faith is literally being stirred you're building up your most holy faith and you know what the problem is alex not everybody wants to obey some people will take this as a word from the lord and take it and change and their life will be forever shifted some people will look at me and be like i don't know if that's from god the bible says in the book of jude to build up your most holy faith and pray in the spirit i'm just going with i'm going off what the word says and giving you instruction for 30 minutes a day you can't do it for 30 minutes a day how's your prayer life for real everyone say i want to grow up you want discipleship this is discipleship we got to grow up amen i love it this is revival all these people getting freed filled with the spirit baptized in the holy spirit getting baptized we see it every service but what comes after you get saved violence and if you don't know how to fight back you'll go right back to the world you'll have a whole ultra call moment knocked to the ground shaking like a salt shaker and go right back to the world do you want that to be you then fight body of christ amen all right we're gonna take holy communion i want you guys to take out your communion cups
and i want you guys to i want you to see this moment in your heart as truly a sacred moment not just a religious check off the list communion is remembering the body and the blood of jesus christ if our heart is not connected to this so this message of communion that pastor ben is going to come up and give it's pointless it's a it's a it's a ritual. I want you guys to focus on this and really listen with your heart, amen? Because to me, Holy Communion is so important. It's not just Sundays that we should take communion, it's every day, in my opinion, or at least a few times a week, amen? You could be eating with your family and just and recognize the body and the blood of Jesus. Communion is Koanonia's fellowship with God every day, amen? Amen. Everybody who needs a communion cup, please raise your hand. Can we get those passed out very quickly? Please raise your hand high. So before we partake in Holy Communion, like Pastor Rick said, Holy Communion is very, very holy and it should be taken with reverence. It should be understood with importance so that you do not trample over the blood. So in this very sacred moment, I want us to take the time to evaluate our heart, examine ourselves. We're gonna have a brief moment of silence so that you may examine yourself. Anything that you know that you're harboring inside, you can lay it at the feet of Jesus so that you do not take communion in an unworthy fashion. Any unforgiveness, any bitterness, any lust, any secret sin, you can lay it at the feet of Jesus right now before you partake. So brief moment of silence. Amen. Amen. So before we begin, I just want to invite everybody online too, wherever you are, please join us in taking Holy Communion. I want to read a quick verse from Matthew chapter 26, verse 3 to 5. It says, Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. But they said, not during the feast, least there be an uproar among the people. So
here we see there was a moment where hell thought that it had a strategy. You see, the religious leaders who were agents of Satan were calculating timing. They said, not during the feast, not now, it's too risky. But what they didn't realize is this, God had already set the clock. See, I want you guys to understand this wasn't about fear, this wasn't about public opinion, this wasn't about political safety, this was about prophecy being fulfilled to the exact moment. From the very beginning, back in Exodus 12, a shadow was released into the earth, a lamb without blemish, slain at a set time, its blood marking a people for deliverance. And for generations, Israel celebrated Passover, not realizing they weren't just remembering freedom, they were actually, listen to this, rehearsing a person. They were getting, they were preparing their hearts, they were preparing themselves emotionally, internally, spiritually to encounter the one that would free them and ultimately deliver them from the hands of sin. When Jesus Christ stepped onto the scene, John the Baptist doesn't call him teacher. He doesn't call him prophet or a miracle worker first. The first thing he calls Jesus, he says, behold the lamb. And I want you guys to pay attention to that language. It's not poetic expression. He's just going to say it to say it. No, it was prophetic identification. So when the leader said, not during the feast, you want to know what heaven said exactly during the feast, because the lamb doesn't die on man's schedule. He died on God's calendar and God knew the exact time it was set for Jesus Christ to redeem the entire world. So I want you guys to listen to this at that very hour, as Jesus Christ was hanging on that cross, you want to know what's happening in the temple? At that very hour, lambs were being slain in the temple while the true lamb was hanging on the cross. And that's not coincidence, that's synchronization.
That's not tragedy, that's fulfillment. So when we understand this, God knew what he was doing. No man killed Jesus. He willfully laid down his life so we can have life. He did it. It was prophecy being fulfilled. He knew that he was going to come and rescue us. So as we partake in communion, I want you guys to understand this as you open up and take out the bread. I want everybody to open up and take out the bread. I want everybody to break the bread in half. This body that you just broke in half, I want you to understand that man did not break his body on his own accord. No, Jesus already had an appointment. He scheduled an appointment to rescue us. He willfully broke his body. He had his body scorched. He had his body bruised. He had his body pierced. He had his body broken into pieces for us. So as we raise this, we remember what he did in his sacrifice and we say, thank you, Jesus. We bless your holy name, Jesus, and we say thank you for breaking your body. We remember what you've done. We don't take this lightly and we partake in the eating of your flesh represented by this bread. Jesus mighty name, you may now all eat. I want everybody to open up the cup. This cup right here represents the blood. In Exodus, the blood was applied to the doorposts. You see, it wasn't enough that the lamb died.
The blood had to be received and applied because judgment didn't pass over Egypt randomly. It passed over where the blood was. So this is why here, as we commune together at this table, the cup is not a ritual. It's a remembrance with revelation. It's a remembrance that we must apply the blood to our life by faith. So when you drink of this cup, you are remembering a body that was pierced for you and what you're doing is you're declaring that God's timing was perfect timing. So the same blood that caused death to pass over Israel is the same blood that causes judgment, shame, and sin to pass over you and I. This is the weight that we have to understand. Jesus Christ wasn't being forced. He was fulfilling everything from the very beginning. So right now, with this cup held high. Jesus, we thank you right now for the spilling of your blood. You went through such agony for us and yet in the midst of you going through agony, you said in your word in the book of Hebrews that you did it with joy. It was a joy for you to go to the cross because even though you were going to suffer, you knew what you would gain in return of your suffering. True sons and daughters of God, true children who would love you and serve you and be faithful. So right now, as we hold this cup up, we do it in remembrance, my God, and we thank you for the spilling of your blood. You may now take and drink. Thank you, Heavenly Father. Right now, we just thank you for tonight's service. We thank you for this powerful service, the word that was preached. We thank you, Lord, how you showed up tonight. Hearts were convicted and touched, pierced. I thank you for the people who came and gave their life to you. They made that decision to truly surrender, and anybody in this sanctuary where drifting was occurring today, Lord, is a day of realignment.
Tonight, Lord, Father God, you brought us back on the right path, and we give you praise for that. We thank you, Jesus, that all drifting ends tonight in the name of Jesus. Thank you for the conviction of the Holy Ghost. Thank you for the cutting of our heart and the surgery that was done tonight through your word. We receive it in faith, and today we say we will not leave tonight the same, for we choose to change in Jesus' mighty name. So we thank you, Lord, and we bless your holy name, and we give you all the praise, all the honor, and all the glory, and together the entire house says, amen. So before we close out, I just want to open up the altar to anybody who may need prayer for anything, and I just want to have all the prayer warriors to come up and assist as well, too. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. I'll try to get the reputation of Achilles. I'll try to get the reputation of Achilles.
