Thirst Worship & Prayer Night (Feb 2026) || Victory Church
A night of worship and prayer.
Victory Family, make some noise! We are so excited to be in the presence of the Lord. Anybody thirsty in this room? Yo, let's lift our hands to the Father. Father, here are your sons and your daughters. We've spent time in your presence. We slow down our spirits and we're ready to receive something fresh from you. Have your way tonight. Do what you want to do. Heal, deliver, set free. We say yes in this atmosphere and we give you everything. It's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen and amen! Now somebody lose your mind in this play! Victory! Victory! Victory! Here we go! Let's say it loud! Goodbye yesterday, I'm living in the light of a new day. I won't waste another minute in my old ways. Praise the Lord, I've been born again. Goodbye yesterday, I'm living in the light of a new day. I won't waste another minute in my old ways. Praise the Lord, I've been born again. Again and again and again and again. You rescued me out of the mess I was in. You traded my sorrows for something to sing. Now I'm dancing on the grave that I once left. Goodbye yesterday, I'm living in the light of a new day. I won't waste another minute in my old ways. Praise the Lord, I've been born again.
Goodbye yesterday, bless me and the other ones upon me. I've got resurrection in my veins. Praise the Lord, I've been born again. Again and again and again and again. You've rescued me out of the mess I was in. You traded my sorrows for something to sing. Now I'm dancing on the grave that I was in. Again and again and again and again and again. You've rescued me out of the mess I was in. You traded my sorrows for something to sing. Now I'm dancing on the grave that I was in. Give God praise in this place. Let's go. I have decided to follow Jesus. The world behind the cross before and I won't turn. I have decided to follow Jesus. The world behind the cross before and I won't turn. I have decided to follow Jesus. The world behind the cross before and I won't turn. I have decided to follow Jesus. The world behind the cross before and I won't turn. Say I won't turn. I won't turn. The world behind the cross before and I won't turn. Say I won't turn. I won't turn. I'll never turn back. I won't turn. The world behind the cross before and I won't turn. Again and again and again and again.
You rescued me out of the mess I was in. You traded my sorrows for something to sing. Now I'm dancing on the grave that I was in. Again and again and again and again. You rescued me out of the mess I was in. You traded my sorrows for something to sing. Now I'm dancing on the grave. Everybody give your praise. Praise the Lord. I can't go on again. Forever I will praise the Lord. I can't go on again. Everybody clap your hands. Cause I'm dancing on the grave that I once lived in. Come on church. Dancing on the grave that I once lived in. You gotta move baby, move. Come on, somebody let out a noise in God's house. Y'all tired of being cooped up inside? Man, y'all ain't ready. You ain't ready? Let me ask this question. I love asking this question. How many of y'all, this is your first thirst here at Victory? Yeah, come on. Alright, just get ready. Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready. Oh my gosh, somebody just look over at the person sitting next to you. Have you been here? Say, get ready. Get ready. Alright, let me tell you what's about to happen.
What are you getting ready for? Let me tell you what's about to happen, alright? We were praying into this moment. And the Lord took us to 1 John 4, 4. Love it. John spends a second, he's talking about false prophets. He's talking about bad leaders. He's talking about the Antichrist himself. And he says this, But you are of God, little children, and have overcome them. Because greater, everybody say greater. One more time, say greater. Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Greater is he that is within you, than he that is in the world. And that's what we're here tonight for. We're here for the greater one. You have the greater God, than any little g God that's in this world. And if he is for you, who can be against you? Come on, so here's what's going to happen over the next few minutes. We're going to encounter the greater God. We're going to encounter the greater Spirit. I don't know what spirit you came in here messing with. I'm not even going to assume that you're a Christian tonight, but I'm telling you, you're going to meet the greater Spirit, the Holy Spirit tonight. You're going to meet the greater King.
You're going to have a greater encounter. I believe you're going to leave with greater healing. I believe that you're going to leave with a greater anointing. That was a special word that I heard, which means the hand of God upon your life, to do what God has called you to do. I believe that you're going to leave with a greater fire for God, than you've ever had. Come on somebody, a greater fire. I said a greater fire. In other words, a passion for Jesus, than you've ever had in your entire life. I believe you're going to leave with greater courage, than you've ever had. I believe you're going to leave with a greater witness, for your neighbors, for your friends, for your schoolmates, for your coworkers, whoever it is, than you've ever had in your entire life. Everybody just say greater. Greater. Right now, God I'm praying for faith, for greater. Faith for greater. Faith for more. Everybody say more. More. God we believe that there's more to be had of God. And so we say this corporately right now, come Holy Spirit. It's one of the oldest prayers of the church,
come Holy Spirit. And we say this a lot around here, Pastor Dennis has led us in this thought for a long time. God without you I am nothing, have nothing, can do nothing. God without you we have nothing, are nothing, and can do nothing. God it doesn't matter how many people are in this room. It doesn't matter how many people attend Victory on a weekend. If the Lord doesn't build the house, the laborers build in vain. If the Lord doesn't dwell in the people God, what are we here for? And so God tonight even in this moment, we're like Moses, as the people are wandering in the wilderness. And God says hey go ahead and go, but I'm not going to go with you. And Moses says God if you don't go with us, I'm not moving an inch. I'd rather spend the rest of my life in the desert with God, than live in the land of milk and honey by myself. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of the wicked. Because in your presence is fullness of joy, pleasures forevermore God. Pleasures forevermore. And here's what I know tonight guys, some of us have never experienced God like that. And it is my prayer that you would experience God like that, this evening. That God is not,
I call him God's not a stained glass God. God is not an idea God. God is the God of the living, not the God of the dead. The tomb is empty, Jesus is alive. Jesus calls him the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Isaac. and Jacob, the God of the living. We have a living God who's in a living place with living people right now. And so here's the thought, okay? I came across this, this week, or last week as I was reading, going through the Bible reading Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, I told Summer to pray for me as I was in Leviticus part of reading the Bible in one year that I wouldn't give up in Leviticus. Too many of us give up in Leviticus. And I came to Leviticus six, and God reminded me of one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible. It's so easy to miss. But he's given instructions about the sacrifices. And he says, the fire on the altar must be kept burning. It must not go out. Go with me, he gives them instructions. You gotta clean out the ashes of yesterday. And then he says this, every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire
and burn the fat. That's very interesting. I'll talk about it in a second. What does the fat have to do with it? Burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. And he says it again, the fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously. It must not go out. It must not go out. It's a big deal that the fire doesn't go out. And what I felt like the Lord, he was saying a few things about this moment for us. Some of us have let the fire go out. What's the fire? The fire is our passion for Jesus. If you're kind of in a season of going through the motions, you let the fire go out. If you're like, God, I wanna feel you, but I don't feel you. God, I wanna experience you, I wanna experience you. I just feel cold. See, cold is the opposite of fire. So if you've lost your fire, that would explain being cold. Some of us feel lukewarm. Some of us feel like, I know it's the right thing to do, but I don't really wanna do it. Some of y'all are here tonight because it's the right thing to do, but you didn't even wanna be here. Let me tell you,
let me make you kind of like a God promise. You may not have wanted to be in here coming in, but you're gonna love the fact that you're here going out. You're gonna leave a different person because you can get your fire back. You can get your fire back. How do I stoke the fire on the altar? Well, he says it right here. You gotta add firewood. And so here's what we say a lot. God will provide the fire, but we have to provide the firewood. What's the firewood? The firewood is you. The firewood is your sin. And here's what's really interesting. He says this, and then you have to burn the fat of the fellowship offering. What is that? I was doing research on this this week. The fat at that time was considered the most valuable part of the sacrifice. So here's what it's saying. A lot of us love to give God our firewood, but we don't like to give him the fat. Here's what I mean. A lot of us love to give God the bad stuff in our life, but we don't even think about giving him the best stuff of our life. See, a lot of us have no problem giving God our sin,
but what about our worship? What about our attention? What about our time? What about our money? What about our future? Come on, what about our dreams? And some of it, maybe that begins to explain why we're cold, because all we do is live a life of confession and repent, God, I'm sorry I did it again. And we've never actually given him our future. And so tonight is the invitation here right at the very beginning. And say, God, I'm not just gonna give you my bad, which we need to do in just a second. I'm also gonna give you my best. Because here's the thought, if we're gonna have greater of God, if we're gonna have greater with God, here's how I'd say it. If you wanna grow bigger, here's what Jesus says time and time again, Pastor Dennis preached it this weekend. He says, if you wanna follow me, deny yourself, pick up your cross and then follow me. So here's what I say. If you want to get bigger, first, you have to get smaller. You have to say, God, I wanna decrease so you can increase in my life. And I know this is the counterintuitive kingdom
that we belong to. To grow, you have to shrink. To get bigger, you have to get smaller. To take more ground, you have to retreat more back into God. And so here's what we're gonna do right at the very beginning one of our temptations in the Christianity is we can kind of just come straight into God's presence and we don't even think about the fact of what we were thinking about in the car or listening to in the car or texting somebody last night or where we were this week. And I think there's an intentional pause that we have in this moment to say, God, I'm gonna come back, it's on 139. Spirit of God, search me, test me, show me if there's any unclean thing on the inside of me and then lead me in the way of life everlasting. And so we're gonna have the Holy Spirit hold up a mirror to us. And in this moment, we're gonna give God our bad. But then before we take another step, we're gonna give God our best. Okay, can we do that together? So I know it's crowded, but I would just encourage you to act for a second like you're the only one in the room and you have your Father right here, come Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit, it's just me and Jesus right now.
God, I'm not thinking about how the person next to me thinks about me, with the person in the back of the room, in the front of the room thinking, God, it's just me and Jesus. And so here's our confession, God, is that we many times as Christians are caught in the middle of this really complex dynamic is that we have the almighty God of heaven and earth, yet we can boldly approach the throne of grace with confidence. And some of us err on one side where we're just afraid of God, we don't even want to talk to God, draw near to God because we're so ashamed. On the other side, some of us are a little bit too comfortable with God and we've forgotten that he's holy. He's the holy, he's not just a spirit, he's the Holy Spirit. And so, Father, I'm praying right now, one, for the sobriety of who you are. God, for the power of the living God. God, I echo what Moses said, God, show us your glory. God, the living creator God who said, let there be light and there was light. That's the God who's in the room right now. And God, we don't bring you down to our level. God, we don't shrink you down to the level of our sin. God, we take you out of the box right now. And we say, God, be God, be the almighty greater God, be the everlasting God. The God who touched blind eyes and sight came back. God, the God who showed up and said, I am. And the soldiers shrank to the ground in the garden. You're the God who hovered on the waters at creation. The God who split the sea and a nation walked through on dry ground. You're the same God. You haven't changed an ounce. We can sit in your lap and call you Father.
There's a pastor named Tim Keller and he said this. He said, there's only one person in the whole world who would dare wake a king up at three o'clock in the morning and ask for water. And that's their child. And so we have the king of the universe right now who we can talk to day or night, any moment. Yet that doesn't make you lesser. What it does is say something had to purchase our ability to come into your presence like that. So right now, God, corporately, we say thank you for the cross. Thank you for the blood of Jesus that washes us as white as snow. God, where would we be if it was up to us? God, we'd be headed towards hell. We would be lost in sin and shame and depression and guilt. God, there would be no rescue for us. But while we were at our worst, you sent your best. You sent your son to die on the cross that he who knew no sin became sin for me. And so God, I embrace that once again in this moment. That the almighty creator of heaven and earth put on flesh, took my place to adopt me into his kingdom. And God, tonight, we don't treat sin lightly. The cross doesn't mean that our sins don't matter. What it does, it shows us how much our sins matter, that our sins put Jesus on the cross. And so God, in this moment, we repent. Repent means to change the way we think. Not just saying, God, I'm sorry again. No, God, right now, we say that we think about sin different. Because it is not with the blood of bulls and goats that we have been purchased. It's with the precious blood of the king, of kings and the Lord of lords, Christ himself.
Jesus shed his blood so we could be washed as white as snow. And so God, we don't just kind of flippantly come into this moment. I thank you for the high worship. I thank you for the experiences and the gifts. I thank you for the experiences and the counters, everything we're about to have. But God, first off, we have to decrease so you can increase. So right here, once again, in this place, Holy Spirit, come, search me. Test me, show me any unclean thing inside me. Whatever he's showing you right now, say, God, I repent of that. Here's what repentance means. Repentance doesn't mean, well, I'm gonna say I'm sorry right here, but then I'm gonna leave this place and go do it later tonight. No, no, no. As a hypocrite right now, God, burn away any hypocrisy in our lives. God, we truly repent in this moment. We change the way we think about sin. God, we change the way we live towards sin. We change our plans even for tonight and tomorrow and the next day because we wanna honor you. We wanna live like the redeemed of the Lord. We wanna glorify God with our breath, with our actions, with our thoughts and the works of our hands. God, may you be honored. And so, God, right now we give you our bad, but I think it's really important right now, God, to stoke the fire on the altar. We also wanna give you our good. We wanna give you our best. So right now, come on, family.
Some of us just need to say, God, I... I give you my dreams. Let me make you a promise. His thoughts towards you are more numerous than the sand on the seashore, and his thoughts are higher than your thoughts, and they're greater than your thoughts. So whatever plan you have for yourself, it's weak compared to the plan of God for your life. Right now, God, I give you my dream. I give you my relationships. I give you my desires. I give you my bad, and I give you my best. One more thing I want us to give God, specifically today in this environment, and we feel like this is really important for tonight. God, right now, we give you our offense. God, who we're offended with. God, we don't wanna go forward into this time being offended at mom and dad. We don't wanna be offended at the Republicans or the Democrats. God, we don't wanna try and lift our hands in worship when we're offended at the president or what's happening in Minnesota. We don't wanna be offended at the person on our left or the person on our right. God, right now, we're gonna be able to pray more through this, but listen, listen, this is so important. If there's somebody that you're offended with
right now in this moment, this is gonna be a hindrance unless you deal with it right now. Just take that person's name and just say this, God, I forgive them the way you have forgiven me. I let them off my hook and I put them on your hook. They're now your responsibility. You're the judge, I'm not the judge. So Father, right now, I pray you would take all of this after we've emptied ourselves, after we pray that we would decrease. And God, right now, I'm praying that you would increase. God, may you increase. God, may you get greater. May you get bigger in this room. God, as we have taken on our rightful role as your children, God, may you come in and be the father of the flock. May you come in and be a good father here over the next few minutes. And we say, come Holy Spirit. Come on, family, let's pray. Come Holy Spirit. Listen, we know this, is that God is everywhere. We know he's here. We know the Holy Spirit's already here. We're not saying that. No, what we're saying is Holy Spirit, come in a greater way. Holy Spirit, come with greater anointing, God. Holy Spirit, come with greater presence. Come with greater healing. God, open up our eyes to see you in this room.
God, I pray tonight that some of us would see angels moving around this space. God, I pray that some of us tonight would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in a new way. God, I'm praying some of us tonight would receive a healing that we didn't even think was possible. God, we came in here with one expectation, but God, you're gonna just completely exceed every expectation we have. And so, God, we yield our plans. We yield our tongue. We yield our past. We yield our present. We yield our future, God. God, just come and have your way. Come. And we lift up the name of the great King. Can we just do this? And we're about to worship together. Let's lift up our hands. God, we surrender. We yield. We say, come and have your way. Who could have ever imagined, God, somebody like me, somebody like us could actually know the King? What a great honor. What a great privilege. God, come and have your way tonight. Come, Holy Spirit. Kindle hunger, kindle fire
in a way that we haven't felt in a long time. And I'm praying that at the end of tonight, we'd be able to look back and just say, God did it. God did it. God did it. Come and do your thing, Jesus. Come and do your thing, Jesus. We yield the floor. Come, Holy Spirit. Come on. Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit. Come on, lift up our voice. Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit.

Jesus, you are holy. I just hear the call to be yielded to him in this moment. Just even as we were sitting there singing this song, just hearing the Lord say, will you yield to me? Will you yield to me in this moment? Will you be still with me in this moment? Holy, holy, holy, holy. Are you Lord God Almighty? Holy is your name, Jesus. Sometimes it's easy to yell and shout and get all excited in the super fast songs, but it can be awkward for us sometimes to just get still before Him. The call right now, I believe the Lord is saying, can you yield your heart before me? Can you get still before me? Johnson led us in a prayer earlier. And in a few moments, I'm gonna pray for healing.
That's something we always do here at Victory. We believe that God is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He is Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. And let me tell you, we have seen people get out of wheelchairs. We have seen people who had holes in their lungs, the lungs close up and the hole go away. We've seen blood disorders healed. We have seen sexual diseases healed where the doctors say it's no longer in your system. We've seen people who have struggled with infertility get pregnant and their children are a testimony of the Lord. You serve a God who wants to heal and who is here tonight to heal. But before we move into that moment, just when we were in prayer yesterday, Saturday morning, the Lord began to share something with me. And here's what I heard Him say. We're gonna get to prayer for healing. In fact, I'm gonna ask in just a few moments, not yet, but in a few moments, what I will ask for those of you who are up front, I'm gonna have you take about a lot of steps back so we can have our prayer leaders come forward. You don't have to do it yet. But here's what I heard the Lord say yesterday in our prayer time. I heard Him say, you want my hand to move?
And you want the works of my spirit, but are you willing to lay down your addictions to receive my healing? For the Lord says, it's my desire to heal you, to deliver you, that He's purchased healing for your freedom. He says, your debt has been paid, but I need you to partner with me on the other side of the deliverance and freedom you're about to receive to walk this freedom out as I am the God of miracles. And when we are in worship, I began to walk up, as the Lord said, walk around the room. And I started to see handcuffs. And I believe some of you even in this room have felt handcuffed to your addiction. But tonight you have the great deliverer who is here to deliver you and set you free and the shackles to go in the name of Jesus. But the partnership comes with Him. He says, I wanna do the miraculous, but you have to choose to live differently on the other side tonight. It's not about coming and just getting a touch in the moment and praise the Lord I was healed. It's about saying, I'm gonna serve you all the days of my life as I walk out this building. And then I saw a picture and this is the word, I don't use this word, let me just say this. So I'll give you the American version now of a sieve. That's the word I heard, a sieve,
which is basically like a, it's kind of like a colander. It strains, think of a strainer you use in the kitchen today, right? That's more of a common word. And I heard the Lord say, some of the things that you've tried to bring into 2026, I am removing as they go through the strainer. If you allow me so that only the pure things will remain as this is a refining time and a time of purification. So here's the invitation. Yes, I'm gonna pray for healing in a moment, but the Lord extends an invitation tonight for you for healing from addiction, from the boulders of shame, the things that have been robbing you of purity in your life to be removed as he is refining you for your purpose to let go of the things of the past for healing. So if you're in this room, listen, there's no shame in here. We have all fallen short, sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but you have felt handcuffed to something. Before I pray for physical healing, I want to pray for the addictions in this room that God's gonna set you free. In fact, some of you This is a generational thing. So if that's you, lift your hand in this room. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh, I love Jesus.
He's so good. God, you're so good. God, you're so good. God, you're so good. In fact, if you have your hands lifted, just begin to say, God, you're so good. God, you're so good. Just begin to declare it out. God, you're so good. God, you're so good. Father, I thank you for every hand that is lifted in this building, for every heart that is yielded to you. And Lord, I thank you that with their yes, I want you to just begin to repent. Say, Father, I repent for letting this thing and tell him what that thing is. You know what the addiction is. Grab hold of me. I repent for making it an idol in my life, but right now I renounce the sin, whatever that is. Listen, if it's alcohol, if it's drugs, if it's pornography, whatever that is, if it's an eating disorder, somebody in this room, you've got, there's like a handful of you've got eating disorders and the Lord is saying, listen, I have made you perfect and I've made you whole. So like, stop worrying about that.
The Lord wants to set you free right now in this moment. Sorry, that just came. I just want you to say this, Father, right now I receive the healing that you purchased for me. Sin go, shame go. I have been purified by Christ, crucified by Christ, and it's no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. So right now I receive the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ over my life. I let go of sin, I let go of shame. I submit to you and I'm gonna serve you for the rest of my days. The sins of 2025 and further back will not follow me into 2026 because I'm a child of God and a new creation in Christ. In Jesus name, amen. Amen. Amen. And if you lifted your hands, I just wanna bless you. Father, I bless every person that had their hand lifted up in this room. I thank you for your blood that covers them. And right now, thank you that you go before them, Lord God, you prepare a way. So I plead your blood, the blood of Jesus upon them. And I thank you that your angels will watch over and protect them. You will give them strength. You will give them the disciplines
to walk this out on the other side of tonight, whether it's putting people alongside them to help hold their hands up, Lord God, or the quickening of the Holy Spirit inside them. I bless them to walk this out in Jesus name. All right, amen. Now I am gonna ask those of you who are up front, I'm gonna ask you to move back for me. And I'm gonna ask if you are a prayer leader in the house, we are going to pray for healing. And I'm going to ask our prayer leaders to come up. Amen. There's a few specific things that the Lord just shared with me over the last several days that I feel like he specifically wants to heal tonight. That doesn't mean he's not gonna heal other things. These are just specific things that he's called out to me. So if I don't call something that you're dealing with, please know that doesn't mean the Lord doesn't care. He cares. These are just specific things that he shared with me. Amen. And celebrate what God does for somebody else, knowing you're receiving your own healing. And after I share these things, listen, if you are dealing with sickness and you need that, when you come up to our prayer team, just tell them like, I believe the Lord is healing me of this today.
So they can come into agreement with you. Amen. We believe in the gift of faith and we believe in the power of healing. And so we want people to stand in agreement with you. But here's what I heard the Lord say that he wants to heal tonight. Skeletal issues and musculoskeletal issues. And I saw back bent over and you couldn't reach your toes, but you were rather hunched in your spine. And the Lord says today, I am straightening your spine and the degree of scoliosis that you had is now being rectified in the spirit. And then we'll come to a full healing in the natural. within six months. So I heard the Lord saying, I'm healing the spine where discs have been herniated or bulging in the body. He said, I am healing that right now in the name of Jesus. So if you have herniated, listen, if you have herniated disc or you have spine issues, begin to move forward now. Begin to move forward now. Spine issues, disc issues, because I heard the Lord say, I am healing that now in the name of Jesus. The lower lumbar, your lower lumbar three is being healed.
The lower lumbar three, tonight is your night of healing in Jesus name. Somebody who has hip dysplasia. You've had hip dysplasia. The Lord says tonight is the night for your hip to be restored and healed. Right shoulder, rotator cuff. In fact, this is an old injury that's never fully healed. You've had surgery and while it got better, it's not a hundred percent, but the Lord is saying tonight is for you to receive the 100 in Jesus name. Bone issues, brittle bones. If somebody has bone issues where your bones have gotten more brittle, the Lord wants to heal you tonight. Fibromyalgia, fibromyalgia is being healed tonight. The Lord showed me, I think this is a woman actually. You had tingling in your hands. In fact, I saw you and you had your hands stretched out and your hands were just tingling like nerve pain all the way down. And the Lord says, tonight is the night that I'm healing you where you haven't been able to do things in the past. I'm healing you tonight. And this is the last thing. I saw a kidney. I saw a kidney. I feel like it's the right kidney.
It's not both of your kidneys, but there's someone here who's been battling issues in the right kidney. And the Lord said, I am removing infection and disease. As Psalm 103 says, God forgives all of our sins and heals all of our diseases. And so in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, you heard everything that I said. You heard everything that you laid out before me. So Lord, right now in the name of Jesus, by the power of agreement, I need you as the church to come into agreement with me. Can you come into agreement for their healing? Lord, I thank you for the gift of faith that's being released right now in Jesus name. And I thank you for the gift of healing that comes as people lay hands on the sick and they are recovered because Jesus Christ paid the price and it's by his stripes we are healed. So right now I declare healing over your people. And I thank you that they're receiving it. Sickness has to bow. Disease has to bow, Lord. Every physical infirmity has to go in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, you are healing gut issues right now. Small intestine, Lord, issues right now in Jesus name. Somebody in here, you have acid reflux so bad
that at night you are taking too many Tums to make sure you can sleep okay. And the Lord is saying, I am healing that acid reflux right now in Jesus name. Those of you who have neck issues where you can't turn your neck a certain way more than a specific degree, the Lord is saying, I'm healing your neck and I am restoring you. But let the burdens go. Leave them before me. Leave them before me. Stop carrying the things you're not meant to carry because in me I will give you rest. Stop trying to control. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Migraines right now in the name of Jesus. We curse migraines right now in the name of Jesus. Every spirit of death and suicide that's trying to invade. Anybody in this room right now, I curse it in the name of Jesus and I tell it to go. We curse every sickness and disease and tell it to go in Jesus name. We thank you for the power of the blood that was shed on Calvary by Jesus Christ. And we declare it over your people right now. Thank you that a fresh fire is going through this crowd, Lord, and you are healing sickness.
You are healing disease. You are healing mental illness. We speak it, we declare it, and we receive it. And we thank you that it's being made manifest that even before the end of the night, God, we will see the goodness of the Lord. We will see the goodness of your hand. We will see the goodness of who you are. Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, the God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Right now, we thank you that generational curses are being broken off of your people in Jesus name. They have no right to follow them any longer into the future, but we cancel every. generational curse that has tried to follow your sons and daughters and we call them Noel and boy in Jesus name divorce will not follow divorce will not be their portion it is not their portion as they are a son and daughter of God they will be united together as one and they will move it to the future together for your namesake to see your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven in Jesus name thank you Jesus thank you Jesus if you are a couple in this room and you need prayer where's pastor calling and you need prayer and you have not been able to have a child and you need prayer you are believing for a child and you need prayer for that pastor Colleen's up here I'm gonna ask her to pray for you I want her to pray for you I love praying for this I want to see more babies yes if you don't know my story I was told in my early 20s that I would never conceive I would never be able to have a child and for a while I accepted it but then I found out something else I found out the promises of God and God gave us a both a command and a promise when he said that we were to multiply and so be
fruitful and multiply that's a command and a promise and when I read that that changed my understanding about God and so I have a beautiful daughter I have three grandchildren and God is good so if you as far as those of you that have not been able to conceive or you've lost children I would like husband and wife to come up here and just come up here is your statement of faith first of all and you know the cool thing is because sometimes when we have are tested and we have issues and God does his work and then it turns into the testimony from the test to the testimony and I have prayed for couples all over the world and seen God move so there's nothing special about me what it is is I have seen the goodness of God and it's easy for me to have faith for you that's what it is so what I want to do is combine my faith with your faith so I want you to be receptive right now so just put your hands up to him because he's the one doing the work father you're so good you're a good father and you want your children to have children children's children father I thank you I pray for every woman in here who's desiring to conceive I thank you that you open her womb and you bless it I thank you that you cause these couples to conceive I thank you that that seed of life will be planted and nourished I thank you father that you cause them to carry that child to term in the fullness of time that child will come forth because you are the giver of life you don't steal you give and so father I thank you that in this room those of you hearing the sound of my voice those of you whose hearts are open to this it's a promise to us and father I thank you that they will hear the sound of children's laughter in their home to the glory of God in Jesus name amen amen amen as pastor Colleen was praying two things one anybody else you need prayer for other things come on start making your way up we're gonna sing a song in a moment and it's a new song it's called Rafa and Crystal and Sean Hill who are here at victory you'll see Shawn he plays and Crystal you'll see her she's behind the scenes doing a lot of things and Johnson and I sat down oh start playing a chord I'm getting emotional and sat down last year and
just began and to write, because we believe he is Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. So as we sing this song, as we sing this song, I want you to fall in with the words and I want you to begin to declare this over. Can y'all take her outside? Take her in the other room, please. Thank you. I want you to begin to declare this over your life. And before we do that, here's what I do want to share. As Pastor Colling was just praying, even about life and life for the womb for married couples, I felt very strongly in here. Where's my husband? Come here, please. I love you. Can you please come here? Wouldn't you like that? Sorry, I didn't mean to bark in order at you. I would like to do this. I would like, as I'm a mom, I'm a wife, I'm a daughter first, but I'm a wife and then I'm a mama. And some of you might not have had that best, someone who as a mom or dad who blessed you. And I, as a mom, want to bless you in this moment and speak life over you. And I want him to do that as a daddy and as a husband.
So if you need healing, even from maybe a mom who wasn't there, a mother who maybe rejected, said some nasty things, or a father, if you can just lift your hands in this room, I'm gonna pray and bless you. And then on my husband is, and then as we sing this song Rafa, I want you to receive and just declare the words over your life. Father, I thank you. I thank you for your people, for everyone in this room, for everyone who's watching online. These are your precious children. And Lord, as a mother and just a woman of faith, Lord, right now, I bless them in this room. Lord, every negative word that was spoken over them, I curse it right now in the name of Jesus. I say where they were made perfect. Lord, you created them for a purpose and I speak purpose in life and life more abundantly over them, over their future, over their spouses, over the children that are to come or the children that they already have. Favor and blessings over their marriages, over their work, Lord Jesus. And I thank you for their life. They, God, they were not born on accident. I don't care if somebody told you on accident, you were not born on accident. Lord, they were born on purpose.
And as a mother, I say, I am so glad that you are here and that you were born. And I bless you right now in Jesus' name. I wanna pray over the words that weren't spoken because there are a lot of toxic things that were said, but then on the other side, there were things that should have been said that were never said. It's right now, God, I stand in the gap on behalf of the fathers who weren't even there to say, I love you, who weren't there to say, I'm proud of you, or maybe were in the home, but they kept their mouth shut because of their own things happening inside their own heart. That's on them, but God, right now in this place, we speak to those who have a void of a father's affection, a void of a father's love, who've never felt healthy affection from a man. And God, right now, I pray that you would step into the gap and I have this picture of the Lord. It's in Zephaniah. It says that the Lord rejoices over you with shouts of joy. And I get this picture of always of a dad at his kid's ball game, or his kid's recital, his kid's gymnastic thing, whatever it is, and just in the back, just clapping his hands with this big smile on his face, pointing out and saying, that one's mine. She's mine, he's mine.
And I want you to hear that. I want you to receive that today from the Lord. The Lord looks at you. Jesus prays this prayer in John 17. He says, God, I pray that they would know that you love them as much as you love me. And God, that is Jesus's prayer. Jesus's prayer is that we would know that the father loves us as much as the father loves the son. That's his affections for you. And so God, right now, I pray for the affections of the good father to step inside the room. God, the same way that you said, this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased. God, I pray even right now, every single one of us who never heard those words of a father claiming us, a father smiling over us, a father rejoicing that we were alive, a father saying, I'm. proud of you and I love you right now receive that receive that just say I receive that if you didn't get it just say I get it right now I receive it I am loved I am valued by the father my earthly father may have failed me but my heavenly father will never fail me my heavenly father will never leave me he'll never forsake me he'll never turn his back on me he'll never get drunk and hit me he'll never say mean words to me he'll never be silent on purpose just to hurt me God you are perfect in all of your ways and right now we invite the father heart of God to come into this room flood this room fill this space God in any of the areas that we are lacking and God step into that space and fill it with the love of the father thank you for the father heart of God we welcome

Jesus. There's a moment in the Bible where Jesus is getting ready to leave the earth. And he's talking to his disciples and he's telling them that there's a promise that I'm leaving with you when I leave. And when I go, this promise is coming. It's a third person of God. You have the Father, you have the Son, and you have the Holy Spirit. He says, I'm going to leave you the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, third person of the Trinity, is the presence of God, listen to me, that's in this place right now. Holy Spirit's here. He's not only here in this room, he's in you. Living in you. When God says I'm going to make my home in you, it's the Holy Spirit that comes to live inside of you. But what Jesus was talking about is the separating factor where God comes upon you in the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, supernatural things start happening in your life.
You can't explain, you can't really understand completely how God does these things. So he says to his disciples, I want you to go to Jerusalem and wait. And when you wait, I'm going to send the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit's going to come upon you in power. And he's going to give you power that you don't normally function in. This power is supernatural power. Power to heal the sick. Power to cast out demons. Power to hear the supernatural words of God and the direction of God for the rest of your life. I don't know about you, but I want that power. Many years ago, after I was saved, I didn't grow up in a church that talked about the Holy Spirit. He talked about Jesus, but they never talked about the Holy Spirit. And a man walked up to me and he said, have you received the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I was in a shopping mall, minding my own business, and he just said, have you received the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I said, what are you talking about? He said, well, I see you have a Bible. I assume you're a Christian. Have you received the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I said, I don't even know anything about it. And he said, well, once Jesus left, he gave this gift in the earth called the baptism of the Holy Spirit, where the Holy Spirit not just comes in you, but comes upon you and empowers you as a witness so that you're no longer, listen to me, afraid of people. You're no longer afraid of what people think about you. You're no longer afraid to do the right thing at all times, even when people get mad at you. It produces a confidence inside of you with God that no one seems to understand. Why are you so confident? So I said, well, I don't know about this Holy Spirit, but I want everything that God has for me while I'm living on this earth. I want everything. And even though I grew up in a church that preached against that, that that's all passed away, all these supernatural gifts of the Spirit, power of God, speaking in tongues, all that's passed away. I couldn't find that in the Bible. I couldn't find cessationism. I couldn't find where they stopped operating in the power of God. In fact, just the opposite. Once the power came on the saints, that's when the gospel went through the whole world.
I don't know about you, but I want the gospel to go to the whole world. I want the gospel to go into the workplace. I want the gospel to go into the high schools. Into the colleges, into the communities around us, into our neighbors. I want the Spirit of God. So here's what the Bible says. This is the book of Acts. It says when the day of Pentecost had fully come, this is Acts two, they were all in one accord in one place. They were gathered like this right here. Not quite as many people, only 120 of them. It's amazing. It's only 120 of them were in this upper room. And it says, and suddenly, everybody say suddenly. I don't know about you, but I like that word. Sometimes God just moves suddenly when we least expect it. There came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind and it filled the whole building house where they were sitting. Oh God, could you do that again? Then there appeared to them divided tongues as a fire and one sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues or other languages as the Spirit gave them utterance. So he said, when you get filled with the Holy Spirit, you're going to have a power inside of you that you didn't have before and it's going to alter your future. Listen to me. It's going to alter your future because now you're going to hear God in a way you never heard him before and you're going to be able to operate in the supernatural like you never did before. And he's going to give you a prayer language. This man said he's going to give you a prayer language and it's not going to make sense to your natural mind, but you're going to get your natural mind, you're going to have to get it out of the way because your natural mind will argue with God in the supernatural. So you're going to have to let that go for just a moment and just say, okay, what the word says, I believe it regardless of what my natural mind says because my natural mind's at enmity with God. And you're going to receive a prayer language, you're going to receive a baptism and it's going to change the direction and the altar of your life. This happened to me in 1982. 1982, before most of you were ever born. And my whole life flipped upside down. It wasn't too long after that that God began to speak to me about selling my business, pursuing the ministry, ultimately speaking to me about coming here to Atlanta with my wife and starting this church. And now all you nice folks are here to join me tonight. To join us on our 36th anniversary. Yeah.
And I thought, what would it be like if we just asked God to come down in this room? To come over us and give us a baptism of the Holy Spirit for this whole group, everybody. You don't have to have it, you don't have to receive it, but if you want it, if you'd like a fresh touch from heaven, a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit, you say, I want a fresh touch. I want to speak in another language. I want to flow in the gifts of the Spirit. I want that. Would you just lift your hands up to the Lord and just begin to ask Him for it? God, we are here for this moment, this divine moment, because I know what happens when you come and fill the room. I know what happens when you set upon us and you begin to do things inside of us that no human can do. And so we stretch our hands towards you, heaven, in one accord, all of us around this one pursuit of you, Holy Spirit. Come. Bid Him to come. Come. Come into this room. Come upon me. Come over me. And give me a fresh, give us a fresh baptism of your Holy Spirit tonight. Let your fire begin to ignite a passion on the inside of us that no man, no circumstance, no situation can put out. Let that holy fire begin to burn inside all the chaff, all the hindering sin, all the things that hinder us from fully abandoning our hearts, our minds, our lives into your hands, Jesus. We want more, not less. We want more of you. We cry out for more of you.
I cry out for more of you, Holy Spirit. I want you. I don't want the world. I don't want the spirit of this world. I want the Spirit of God upon me with a fresh anointing. And I thank you, Lord, for just baptizing this group of people that are hungering and thirsting for you, Jesus, with the fullness of your power, that their life would never be the same again in the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Be baptized with the power of God. Let the power come upon you and begin to pray in the Spirit. Begin to pray in the supernatural. More of you of the Holy Spirit in my life. More of you, God. More of you, supernatural power. More of you, God. More of you, Holy Spirit. We need you desperately. We are desperate for you, God. We are desperate for more. We don't want less of you in this new year of 2026. We want the power of God to come upon us on a daily basis. We want the fullness of your power, the revelation of your power. And I pray, God, that you're going to speak guidance and deliverance into our hearts. I pray that you're going to give us new words for the new year. I pray that you're going to give us words of knowledge, the discerning of spirits, the gifts of healings, the working of miracles, the gift of tongues, prophecy, the gift of faith, God.
We just pray for this right now, all these things to function in our life in a fresh new way. I pray, Lord, that tonight, this is a night of demarcation in our life with you, God. It's a new life.

Just you, just the people that are called into the ministry I want you to lift your hands to the Lord Just lift your hands I want you to lift your hands to the Lord Lord Jesus I remember this day I remember the day you spoke to me I remember the day I was prayed over in the church And I remember what happened after that God, I want that same thing to happen right now in this room. So we pray over every person that has their hands lifted up as they're responding to the call that they feel that you're issuing to them Lord. My prayer is first of all you'll make it clear, you'll make it precise, you'll show them exactly what they're called to do and you're going to help them Lord to take the steps of faith that they're going to need to take over the next years going into the ministry whatever that is until they're all the way in. We pray now for the release of the anointing of Jesus to come upon them right now. The anointing that breaks the yoke, that removes the burden, the anointing that clarifies the call, that makes it clear no matter what other people say they're going to follow the call. No matter what the family says, their friends say, no matter what people say God, I pray they'll press through all the voices that say no and say yes. I pray God that you're going to bring them fully all the way in and release them to do exactly what you've called them to do. I pray God for some of them will be pastors of churches, some of them will start in youth, young adults, ministries like that. Someone will start in children's ministry, someone called to support ministries in the church and then there are some that are called to lead great moves of God in the mission field. God, would you put your hand on them right now. Would you come and put an anointing on them right now and make their calling sure. Your calling is irrevocable. Once you call us, you don't change your mind about what you called
us to do. And so God, I pray that you'll make it sure in their hearts. Make it sure. Make it strong. Make it really strong, God, so they cannot deny it. And from this day forward, thank you for helping them to move into the calling of God in their life. In the name of Jesus Christ, break the yoke off of them that hinders them. Break any hindering thing, God. And I pray, God, for the fullness of what you've called them to do to be realized in the earth. We need them, God. We need them to be strong in the Lord and in the power of your might. We need them to operate with the fullness of your power. And I pray, Holy Spirit, just like we prayed a minute ago, that you would give them a fresh presence of God tonight when they go home. Give them the full presence of God in their dreams, in their sleep. Keep them awake a little bit tonight until they hear you clearly, God. I pray that you're speaking directly to each one as a son and a daughter of God what you've called them to do. And we thank you for it. We praise you for it. We thank you for the ministries that are going to come out of this church from the people that are standing in this altar. We pray for the mighty hand of God upon them right now, the anointing of God, that they're going to do something that makes a difference. They're going to do something that's significant in their life. And God, when they look back on it someday like I am when they're old, they'll realize this was the moment when it all began right now, in this moment right now. In the name of Jesus, we praise you, we thank you, and we give you the praise and glory in Jesus' name. And everybody said, amen. Come on, let's give him praise. Oh, we give you praise, Jesus. Come on. Oh, what a mighty army. Look at this mighty army up here. Come on, look at this mighty army up here. Come on. All right, I need y'all to move back because Colleen's going to give another invitation. Wow. When you prayed for the missionaries, I almost fell off the stairs. There's a heavy, heavy thing here. I want to know how many of you feel called to the mission field. Raise up your hand. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. A lot of you. Johnson, we're going to have to do something about this. We got to prepare them. So, I want to speak to the business leaders, entrepreneurs, C-suite execs, those of you that are leading in the
business worlds. And I want to say this to you. There's no such thing... a sacred secular divide. What you do is just as important for the kingdom as what we do up here. So I'm going to call the business leaders, entrepreneurs, come on, you're in corporate America. I want you to come up here and I want to talk to you about capabilities, callings, and consecration. Do you know the reason why there's no sacred secular divide is because if your life is consecrated to him and your business is consecrated to him, then it's holy. Then the works of your hand are holy. Do you know that just like God anoints pastors, he anoints business people. Can I prove it to you in the Word of God? You should say absolutely I'm not going to believe you unless you do. Okay, Exodus 31, see I have called by name Bezalel and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with the ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship. Bezalel was one of the artists who worked on the temple. There is an anointing on your life to make money. There's an anointing on your life to be creative, to be an engineer. By the way, don't ever say I'm not creative because creativity has all kinds of expressions. The creator is on the inside of you. Mathematics is very creative. Never been good at it but it's very creative. Colossians 3 23 24 says whatever you do work heartily as for the Lord and not for men. This is the consecration piece because I know this, when God gives us a gift, take a look at Hollywood. Those people are anointed. They're gifted and anointed and they're not using it for the kingdom. Look at what happens to them. They don't last long in the spotlight except Montel because he's consecrated. But here's the thing, when we have a gift and you get fulfillment and it's fun to do the thing that you've been called to do and gifted to do and you get to see how good you are and it can go to your head and you become successful and you start making money and all of a sudden you're working for the paycheck, you're working for the next new car, the third house and what you're doing isn't consecrated anymore. It's slipped back into your hands and it won't be long until something happens. And do you know why God wouldn't let you fail? Because he wants all of you. You're that precious to him and he wants you to do his work. So
here's what I want us to do and it's interesting because I just had Jace come up to me and say this and then this just confirms it. I want us to first of all make sure that what we have, our callings, our businesses are consecrated to him. So I want to take a moment because we might need to give it back. So can we do that? Father, I thank you for this beautiful group of business leaders, entrepreneurs, brilliant minds, creative minds. Father, I thank you for the callings on their life, for the capabilities that you're giving them and we're coming to this altar right now. We're coming to this altar to lay down everything, to give back to you what belongs to you. Everything belongs to you. This business belongs to you. This idea belongs to you. And Father, right now we lay it before you so that it wouldn't be tested. We choose before the trial hits us or even if it has, we give back to you what belongs to you. And we say from this day forward it's consecrated through fire and we will work as unto the Lord. We give it back to you. you may know this but when we transitioned I started a ministry called Thrive Today for business women and and leaders and ministry leaders and as I was writing the content the Lord said this to me he said you know a lot of people are praying to me for the next big idea but instead they should be praying to become the kind of person that I can entrust with the next big idea Wow so I want to do that right now because some of you he wants to give the next big idea to are you ready to receive it because it's going to be bigger than you and you can't do it without him so father I thank you we pray that prayer we pray that we become the kind of people that you can entrust you entrusted Mary with Jesus Lord we want to be the kind of people that you can entrust with the next big new idea and we say this Lord we'll be sure to give you the glory we'll be sure to take the finances and be tithers and givers back to your kingdom because we want to be about the father's business and our business is the father's business Jesus is not your CEO he doesn't work for you you work for him he's the owner so father we thank you we're receptive to that why not you why not you why not you that's the way God thinks about you you are his beloved sons and daughters so father for creativity for expanded
ideas for resources thank you father you're just unleashing that I believe God is raising up entrepreneurs in this church he's calling you out of corporate America and some of you need to take that step of faith and you know who you are right now and you you've been in corporate America so long that you think that things should be structured already for you to take this step and the Lord says no you take the step and I'll order your steps and here's one more thing I want to pray over you this is Psalm 90 verse 17 let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands now some of you are looking for jobs right now and you're going in there and you're hoping they hire you I want you to switch this in your brain because Laban remember uncle Laban and Jacob worked for Laban Laban became rich because of Jacob God's anointed you whoever you go work for they're gonna be blessed because you are in their business you're not a beggar you're a believer and so God is going to put you in front of people so this is why I'm praying the favor of God over you father every one right now who's looking for a job everyone who needs a different position a different company every single person father let your favor be upon them we trust that you will order our steps as we take a step of faith to go out and launch businesses to go into places we wouldn't interview for father I thank you for the leading of your spirit and just like my husband back in the day when we were going to Bible school the Lord said don't go look for a job go get one and so we're stopping looking for jobs we're gonna go get our job and we trust you are a provider for us Jehovah Jireh you have the perfect provision in Jesus name and everybody that's sick believes that says amen amen Kylie we couldn't help notice that all the young people that came up for the call to ministry and now standing here as entrepreneurs as business leaders and I love that I love that and you have great leaders this is the fruit of your ministry standing here and so i want you to pray over this next gen you pick the pregnant hormonal lady to host this moment it's fine holy spirit
yeah my name is kylie i'm one of the youth pastors here at north cross and uh i don't know if you're a parent and you have a student in our ministry or if you've heard heard murmurings of things that happen with us on sunday nights or sundays during services if you have a student sixth or seventh grade ministry but you guys you guys this is a generation that is blessed and called and highly favored this is a generation that's different than the one that came before and that doesn't discount the ministry and the things that god has done for all of the generations that have come before but i struggle as a youth pastor often hearing parents and older people talk about well this generation i'll tell you right now if that has come out of your mouth sometime recently i do ask you i say this kind of jokingly but actually not at all to take that before the feet of jesus during this time because i'll tell you about this generation we just saw them come forward eager to be in ministry and do you know what i have dozens of friends that are my age i'm not that old okay i'm kind of old but not that old i have dozens of friends who i grew up in youth ministry with that do not have this story they are burnt out they are hurt they are confused because of the representation of christ through the church not this generation not at victory this is a generation of young people who are eager to see a move of god who are ready to do the hard work who are sitting in our services on sunday night choosing to step into a fast choosing to sit through a service on meditation where we make them sit in silence for minutes at a time sitting and resonating on the word of god and they want to do this they keep showing up and bringing their friends to do this so that's this generation that's who we have and that's who we're going to pray over now i want you to hear this too i have a little girl i have a four-year-old little girl who is in here praying on the floor with pastor colleen just a second ago and uh this covers all generations right so while my immediate reference point may be directly with students i want you to know that as a mama i know that this impacts a lot right and i was a kid that was raised in church and i'm here to say that the covering that my parents my kids pastor my youth pastor my young adults pastor gave to me bestowed upon me interceded for me with that is so much of what has sustained my faith in some wild times and so i just want to pray over the next generation together as a house i also want to encourage you that if there is a stirring in your spirit after you just saw this many people come forward to be in ministry i need to tell you something they're gonna need to be discipled
and so if the lord has been i am taking this moment if the lord has told you that you need to be discipling a young person i have a great opportunity for you a weekly appointment it will cost you zero dollars just a little bit of your time and obedience and you will have a whole lot of favor and blessing in your life so come find me later if you want to do that but let's go ahead and pray over the next generation together believing for what is to come with all that we've prayed for over the last few minutes knowing and declaring that there's an incredible thing that is to come at victory because of this generation and throughout atlanta let's pray and believe that together will you pray with me family will you pray with me like you believe that that is what's to come okay then use your voice let's pray together jesus thank you thank you that you are a god that cares about each and every generation your faithfulness does not skip from one to the other we know because of your word that your faithfulness continues to every single generation so from the babies that are in the wounds from the healing that we've I pray for just a moment ago, to those who are going into grade school, elementary school, into middle school, high school, and into our young adults years, our young adults ministry. God, your faithfulness continues to every generation, every single one. And we declare that promise. We declare that faithfulness. That is who you are. Remind us of that. God, when we are confused in the workplace, when we're confused with our own children, whatever that may look like, God, even if we feel like, hey, I'm the generation that we're talking about here, and I'm confused because I don't know if I feel called, or I feel a little different
than the rest of my generation. Good, you probably are. There's probably a calling on your life. And so God, we just declare that faithfulness. Would it just take root in our hearts? Would you remind us of that? And would you remind us to intercede and declare that regularly, Lord, that we would come to your feet knowing and remembering that these are our baby, this is my baby's youth pastor somewhere in this room. This is someone who's raising my children alongside me. And so God, I do just declare that you would continue to call these things out. God, just like we prayed a moment ago, into ministry, into the workplace, God, I pray for there not to be any fear or doubt when we go home tonight. God, I pray that you would confirm that, affirm it in our spirits. And God, I do just pray for a resilience in this generation. God, this is such a time where there's cancel culture, and there's so many different things that happen with social media and all of that that can really take us out in a moment's notice. But not when we have you by our side. I pray for a holy resilience that the enemy cannot take us out. That we would always be rooted in your word, that we would never buy the lie
that we can figure this out on calling, on doing it on our own, but that we would always be partnered and secured and rooted in your word and truth that can sustain us. God, I pray with that resilience, you would remind us that when things come, whatever it may be, personal obstacles, things in our world, things in our government, whatever it may be, God, that we would never bow down to anything else other than you, the King of Kings. God, that we would not bow down to fear, we would not bow down to insecurity, we would not bow down to anything that does not have your name on it. We never will, Jesus. We will only bow to you, the living God. So across all generations, honestly, from the children that are in this room, my high school students, my young adults, high school students, you better lead this charge though, up through the adults, would you just say that and declare it, say, we won't bow down. No, I'm sorry, I want you to declare it. I will not bow down. Only you, God. And God, we declare that and we seal that, you are the God of every single generation,
we believe it, and we are gonna worship like it together. And all generations said, amen, come on. Come on, who's taking a stand with me tonight? Who's taking a stand with me tonight?

Oh! There is another song! Oh! There is another song! As I saw a few people trickling out the doors, I was like, well, you're gonna miss it. You're gonna miss it.
Because I felt like there's something God wants to do special right here in this moment, before we have our final song. There's a lot going on in our nation right now. And there's something powerful that happens when the Spirit of God comes. Saints, repent of our sin. Come on, turn our face back to God. Humble ourselves and pray. Then God hears from heaven, forgives our sin and heals our land. And so I wanna take a second, I wanna pray for our nation. And I also wanna have a special moment. We've never done, I don't think this at Thirst, what we're gonna do here in just a second. But I wanna have you, you guys have an opportunity to actually pray for each other. Okay, for the concerns that you guys brought into this moment. Okay, but let's do this, okay? I think this is a, there's power when the saints gather together. We do this every Saturday morning here in Midtown and North Cobb, Hamilton Mill has Wednesday evening prayer. This is one of the things that we do. It's called intercession. It's standing in the gap. In other words, between what God's will is and what's happening in the world, the saints stand in the gap.
Be in that space right there. It's like Abraham in Genesis where he's calling out for this city. He said, God, would you save the city for 25? Would you save the city for 20? Would you save the city for 50? He's just crying out for God's kingdom to come. So let's do this. Let's lift our voice up to heaven. God, right now, we acknowledge, God, that we live in a broken land. God, filled with broken people. But we also know this, we don't wrestle against flesh and blood. And God, we acknowledge this in this moment. Fox News is doing their thing. CNN's doing their thing. MSNBC, TikTok, the spirit on social media, on Instagram, whatever it is, it's getting us riled up. It's getting us angry. It's getting us stressed out. But what we acknowledge, God, is there's something more going on than meets the eye. Because we don't wrestle against flesh and blood. This is not something that's just going on in Washington. It's not just something that's going on in Minnesota or ice raids downtown. It's more than that. There's more going on.
The riots, the resistance, the violence, there's more than meets the eye going on. And so right now, God, as the church of the living God, we stand in the gap and we call out shalom over America. We call out peace over this land. And God, here's our cry. God, I pray for the church that you would give us ears to hear that we wouldn't just live in the comment section, that we wouldn't just click on rage bait, that we wouldn't just be angry all the time and caught up in the swirl of the conversations that the culture's happening. God, may you give us insight and wisdom to actually be peacemakers, not peacekeepers, but peacemakers. God, sometimes being a peacemaker means opening up our mouth. Peacekeeper is silent most of the time. A peacemaker is somebody who goes and creates peace, who brings the kingdom of heaven wherever they go. And you said blessed are the peacemakers. God, there's a special blessing that you rest upon the peacemakers. And so God, I pray for the church. You gotta start somewhere, start at victory. God, make us peacemakers in this world. God, we do pray for things that are happening governmentally. God, I pray for a move of God in our government.
God, I pray that salvation would spring up from the ground in the White House, God, and it would trickle down through the cabinet, through the Supreme Court, through the Senate, through the House of Reps. God, that the devil would take his hands and stop pulling the strings on governmental things that are happening, that it's not really about the people, it's about power. I'm not talking to Republican, I'm talking to all of it. I'm talking to all of it. All the sides are on their own side for their own agenda. God, what we're about is the kingdom of heaven coming down and touching earth and changing what's happening. And so God, right now we send the word, even to Minnesota, things that are happening, we say peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace to anybody, any side, wherever it is who's trying to stoke violence, who's trying to stoke and inflame the situation. We speak peace by the power of the Holy Spirit. And God, I pray over us once again, God, as we go back to schools this week, as we go into work, as we're going back into our neighborhoods, God, show us where we can be the peacemakers, not the peacekeepers and just kind of sitting in the back and watching it happen. No, an actual peacemaker who gets our hands dirty in this world to bring the kingdom of heaven to come,
to pass for your name's sake. In Jesus name. Here's what I want us to do, okay? Here's what I want us to do. Terry with me about 10 more minutes total. That's the idea, okay? Here's what I'm gonna ask. Go in like groups of three. Like I'm not telling you to leave, like just circle. If there's like two couples, that's cool. You can do four, but you're gonna get three minutes to do this, okay? So doing three instead of two keeps one of you from being weird. So you're not trapped with like a weird person, okay? I don't say that in all grace, but three kind of keeps it balanced out. Okay, here's what you're gonna do. Take about 20 seconds to talk and tell those two couples people, here's the burden you came in here carrying. Okay, it doesn't have to be about what I was just talking about. Did you come in here carrying a burden? Here's what I don't want you to do. I don't want you to come in, stand in a room full of hundreds and thousands of people, and then you leave and feel like I don't even know anybody. I didn't talk to anybody. I'm just carrying the same burden that I walked in here with. Cast, you know, carry each other's burdens. This is your opportunity to do that right here. Isaac, I love you, but you guys are gonna have a hard time doing this in three minutes, having seven people in a group. So, no, so share like 20 seconds, and then one of those people in the group pray over that situation, okay? And then, so you're gonna have basically a minute per person to do this, okay? So you're gonna take three minutes and go.
If you're online, you can type in and share that and then pray for each other. So that's one minute, so you should be to the second person now. All right, you're in the homestretch. Final minute. All right, last few seconds, last few seconds. All right, while you're closing it down, let me let me remind you, this is one of the beautiful things about being together. We're meant to do this for each other. We are meant to weep with those who weep, rejoice with those who rejoice, to carry each other's burdens. I want you to know, it doesn't matter how big a church gets, listen, the church is you guys, the church is us, it's the gathering, it's the people, it's not the places, it's the people. So this is your home, this is your family, and I want to just tell you, you can have this every single Saturday evening, you can have it Sunday mornings, whenever you gather, at your youth gatherings, young adult gatherings, whatever it is, we can share these moments together. So while you're ending your prayers, here's what we're gonna do. We have one more song. And I made a special call just a few minutes ago. I called our structural engineers to ensure that the roof would remain on the building after we sang this song, but it may shake a little bit. So as Pastor Dennis was going to Acts 2, talking about the suddenly the spirit of God entered into the room on the day of Pentecost, I think there was a shaking in that room. I think there was a fire inside that room. And I love to get to these moments whenever we have a thirst, and it is now 8.30, which means you have been in prayer and worship for two and a half hours. Wow. Listen, I don't know how long you've been serving Jesus,
chasing after the Lord. If somebody had told you like five years ago, you were gonna come in and spend two and a half hours worshiping the King, I don't know how you would have felt about that, but here's my promise. Here's what I told you earlier. Some of you kind of limp in here. Some of y'all got no fire, but there's a little something different right now because God is kindling that thing inside our hearts. And so here's my encouragement to you. As we sing this song, sing like you're born again. Sing like you're saved. Sing like you're redeemed. Sing like the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive. And allow just over the next few minutes, allow the Lord to remind you how good He's been in your life. Remind the Lord to remind you who you would be without Jesus, where you would be without Jesus. Come on, how He's come through for you, how His mercies are new every single morning. Come on, how He gives you grace upon grace upon grace upon grace upon grace upon grace upon grace and forgiveness and washing and newness and kindness and love and strength and anointing and friends and family and a church home and finances. He's Jehovah Jireh. He's Jehovah Rapha.
He's the Lord, our righteousness. He's the Lord, our good shepherd. He's the host of heaven's armies yet His affections are for us. Thank you, Jesus. May we worship you like it's true. Amen. Come on, let's lift up our voice. Let's lift our hands to the Father. We love you. We love you. You've blown our minds tonight. What an amazing God you are. Because you woke me up this morning and my cup is overflowing. You have blessed me and I know it. So I owe you my praise. You're the author of my story. When I thought that it was over, but your mercy kept me going. So I owe you my praise. We sing. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, thank you, Lord. You deserve. Only you deserve all my praise. You're worthy of it all tonight. Hallelujah. See, I don't know how far I've come, finished, but your grace is still sufficient.
That's what makes the difference. So I owe you my praise. Now I'm standing here forgiven, knowing life is worth the living. You're the God of new beginnings. So I owe you my praise. We give praises. Oh, Lord, you deserve it. Let the world hear it. You deserve my praises. Oh, Lord, you deserve it. Only you deserve it. We give you praises. Oh, Lord, you deserve it. Hallelujah. Oh, Lord, you deserve it. You deserve my praises. Oh, Lord, you deserve it. Only you deserve all my praise. I'll never be silent. I'll never be silent. I'll never be silent. Why? Let's say it now. When I think of all you've done. When I think of all you've brought me. When I think about your love I could never say enough When I think of all you've done When I think of all you've done When I think about your love I could never say enough When I think of all you've done How you've cared for me
How you've cared for me How you've healed me How you've loved me How you've chosen me When I think about your love I'm grateful, I'm grateful, so grateful I could never say enough Let's take the roof off and say For the ways that you have made For the price that you have paid For your mercies everyday That's why I owe you For the ways that you have made For the price that you have paid For your mercies everyday That's why I owe you For the ways that you have made For the price that you have paid For your mercies everyday That's why I owe you Way to give you praise Way to give you praise Never let a rock cry out I'll give you praise Hallelujah We give you praise Somebody lose your mind in this place When I think of all you've done When I think of all you've done When I think of all you've done I could never say enough When I think of all you've done How you've loved me How you've saved me When I think of all you've done I could never say enough Now every grateful heart Lifts up your praise We worship you Lord We honor you We celebrate you now That's why I owe you Way maker Miracle worker Promise keeper Light in the darkness That's who you are That's who you are That's why I owe you We love you Lord We love you We're grateful We give you praise You deserve our praises Praises Oh Lord you deserve

You know, when you live life for a little while, then all of a sudden it'll make sense whenever the older saints would say things like, God's been better to me than I've been to myself. It makes sense when you've seen him move a few mountains and when you've seen him split a few seeds. We come into a place like this and we reflect on the goodness of God and all of his blessings and all of his benefits. But church, hear me when I tell you tonight, if we gather in a moment like this only to celebrate God and who he is and what he's done, but we leave all of that in this room, then what's the purpose of it all? Because can I tell you tonight, what God has done in this room, the ministry that was activated inside of a lot of us tonight, many of us who are filled with the Holy Spirit and baptized in the Spirit tonight, all that God did in this evening, in this room. Can I tell you, it cannot stay in this room because there is a world outside of these four walls that are dying, that are perishing, and they're looking for hope. And can I tell you that you and I being placed in the earth just like Esther for such a time
as this, do you understand that you are God's very best efforts at bringing revival in the earth? So tonight as we leave, and I'm going to pray, and we're really about to leave, for real, y'all don't start singing again, because I'm ready, I'm ready, but listen, but hear me, what God has done here, it can't stay here. We've got to take the gospel to this broken world all around us. So right now, what I want to say is this, if you're here tonight, and with all that God has done tonight, all that He has spoken, all that He has poured out, all that He has imparted, if you're with me tonight, and if you would say, Lord, I refuse to leave it here, but I want to take everything you've imparted, and I want to take it to the highways, I want to take it to the school, I want to take it to my job, to my family, to my neighborhood, if that's you, I want you just to lift your hand all over this place, because just as sure as the Spirit of God has fallen and is residing in this room, can I tell you that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is also to give you power to be witnesses. So right now, Father, we thank you, Lord, that you are a good God. We thank you, Lord, that you are a benevolent God, that you are not the one to leave us to our own devices, but your Word tells us that you so loved this broken world full of broken people, that you sent your Son, Jesus, you laid down your life so that those who are separated from you, by believing in who you are, by professing with our mouths, we can be saved. So, Lord, that shows us that you are a good God who has a heart for broken people. So, Father, as we're here tonight in your presence, unified under the banner of your grace, we refuse to hoard all that you have done. We refuse to hold back all of the good things that you have accomplished. But, Lord, we leave here tonight declaring and decreeing that we will be a mouthpiece for the God of Jacob, that we will be a living testimony to those who need hope, that we will be your trophies of grace and mercy. So, Father, I pray for every individual, whether they're 73 or 13 years old, I pray, Holy Spirit, that you will awaken a hunger and a desire to see the lost be found, to see those who are broken come to be healed, to see the addicts set free, to see those with despair and no hope finding hope.
Because, Lord, we know that in you, that in you and in you alone is everything that we need. So, Father, fill us up fresh and anew. Use us to be your mouthpiece. Use every single teenager that is in this room. God in the same way that you use Samuel in the Bible in the same way you anointed David as a child in the same way Mary was a teenager whenever you entrusted her with the gift of the Son of God Lord you are still moving in the lives of young people so I pray tonight that they would encounter you fresh and anew that you would give them a revelation give them dreams and words of wisdom words of knowledge God give us boldness to declare your truth and we believe by faith that as we take a step forward that you're gonna pave the way you're gonna order our steps you're gonna move upon the hearts of those who need to know the truth so we thank you right now in advance for the breakthrough that we're gonna see in this generation we thank you for blind eyes being open we thank you for God encounters at Starbucks we thank you for deliverance moments on aisle 16 at Walmart we thank you Lord God for breakthrough in homeroom we thank you Lord God that you're gonna move in power and in might because you promised that you would do it so we believe you at your word I said we believe you at your word we believe you at your word and we declare tonight let it be so in the mighty matchless name of Jesus and I wish I had about 15 people Oh God bless you have an amazing night you are sent thanks for being a part of Victory Church on the Pando app we hope this content was a blessing to you but we want you to know that you're not done yet because we want to hear from you so send us a letter and tell us things like what God is doing in your life how we can pray for you or even content that you would like to see us create in the future we just want you to know that we see you.
