Until then, check out this message. We've been in a series called What's Your Sign? And we're talking about one of those things that we identify with that marks our life, like going forward. What are those standout things that identify and mark us, that we're looking for that thing that gives me that purpose, that reason that I exist? What's the next step for my life, a sign in life? How many of y'all, when I was thinking about this, how many of y'all know your mama had some signs that she used to send you? Okay, y'all don't know what I'm talking about. Let's go.

How many of y'all, your mama had the look? Oh, y'all know that sign, don't you? Like all mom had to do was look at you. I knew it was like walking through, from back in my day, pre-Walmart, Kmart. Where's my Kmart people? Y'all remember Kmart? Where's my Sears and Roebuck people? Any Sears? Oh, look at that right there. Look at that right there. So, I'd be walking through the store, acting a fool, and my mama, and ice ran through my veins as soon as my mama snapped her head around like that. She had that thing. How about the finger wag? It looked like a daggone satellite in the air when they got that finger, like, you know, you stop right there. Anybody, mama have the lip bite? I mean, that's a sign right there. Like, you better back it up right now. Like, it's going nowhere good. How about the hand on the hip? That's like one step before you meet Jesus. You understand? Like, that right there,

it's going nowhere good. And then there was the other one. For me, in my house, when my mama did a fast little, she's like five foot nothing, and when she got those little legs moving and she was headed towards the kitchen, that's when I knew I was gonna meet Jesus really fast now because she had that little paddle. She had mama's helping hand and it stayed on top of the refrigerator. And she had to reach on her tippy toes and she would get it and pull it down. And she, anybody else grow up where your parents believed in good old fashioned whoopings? Like, they went into this timeout stuff. One, two. I told you. How many of you know they spank you on every syllable? Every syllable. They spank you on every syllable. Every syllable. You gotta, I told you, you better not ever do that. Like, come on. Nothing wrong with the spankings. We all came out just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. It's all good. My mama had a sign, your mama had a sign. And moms, moms, they do, the signs on them, they mark all of us.

They've done some things to imprint on our life. And we've all been impacted by that. There's a lot of great moms mentioned in the Bible. But I wanna bypass all the ones that we think of immediately. All the ones you jump to. Elizabeth and Mary and Esther and Ruth. That's a good one right there, right? And what about Hannah? That's a good one too. Like, there's a lot of great ones out there. Miriam, great moms, great moms. But there's one that's kind of, in fact, I only see her name mentioned one time in the Bible but the impact this mom made is huge. And I wanna show you who it is. 2 Kings chapter 22, verse one. Here's what your Bible says. Josiah was eight years old when he became king and he reigned in Jerusalem 31 years. His mama was Jedidah. There's a lot of different ways to pronounce that but we'll go with that one today. Jedidah, the daughter of Adiah from Bozak. Jedidah was the mother of Josiah. And Josiah was a little boy when he took the rulership of the kingdom of Judah. Now you need to understand the story of this. Josiah, his great-grandfather, his name was Hezekiah. Hezekiah was aight, an aight kind of king.

He had some issues, prideful. I know there's no one in this room that has any pride but kind of prideful. I mean, he was aight, he's aight. But his son, Manasseh. Was toe up from the flow up He was evil 55 years evil twisted brought in all kinds of idolatry had built pagan idols totem poles altars to all of the kinds of gods and this is the tribe of Judah like this is the kingdom of Judah like God's people and He's bringing in all this foolishness into the land and he reigned there for 55 years in that role And then when he died his son Ammon came in and took over his king And Ammon was twice as bad. He was on steroids compared to his daddy He was a mess In fact, he was so evil that the servants in his kingdom after he reigned for two years his own boys killed him His own boys went John wick on him and took him right out Like you are you are done boom and they just they completely dad did away with him like he was gone now There's nobody there's nobody in the kingdom There's no one ruling and the next one up is an eight-year-old boy Anybody got an eight-year-old if I got an eight-year-old, can you imagine your eight-year-old running the kingdom? snow cones for everybody Like I'm okay my kind of guy like I would hang in that kingdom for a little bit, right? Reesey comes for dinner like all that kind of thing Eight years old he becomes the boy King over the over the kingdom of Judah now With him was Jedidah. His mama was with him. She was officially the Queen Because it was her husband Ammon that was knocked off in two years She was the Queen the sitting Queen but Jedi but Joseph Josiah is now the sitting king at eight years old and The Bible says that she was there with him and here's what happened Josiah as he continued to grow in the kingdom. The next thing we see him do is he is

restoring the temple of God and As he has we're going to bring back God worship the one true and living God We're going to restore the temple that has gone to shambles and as they were restoring it They found a scroll in the wall And as the as the priest read to young Josiah from the scroll Most scholars believe it was a scroll of the book of Deuteronomy Where Moses is laying out the blessings and cursings for honoring God and what happens if you don't? Josiah as a young boy He was broken in his heart and Bible says he ripped his clothes, which was an an act of Absolute brokenness and he began to weep and cry and from that point on Josiah went Stark Raven crazy cleaning Judah He began to tear down the altars remove all totem poles stop all pagan worship now You need to understand it's not that there were a few here and there the whole culture had been ruled for almost a hundred years Everybody had their favorite God. They had all their idols. They had all these things and this young runt boy Steps up and he says we're changing everything And he begins to tear all of this down changing everything that culture had put in place and brought a revival to Judah where there was a Resurgence of we need to worship the one and true one true and only God. Let me ask you something What do you think? It was that caused a 16 year old junior in high school to cut against culture and do something that nobody was clapping over What do you think it did that hit a 16 year old boy that he was willing to run against everything Social media was putting out to do what was right and close to God's heart. I'm not here for the claps I'm not here for the follows. I'm here to honor one and his name is God Jehovah and I'll do whatever I what a 16 year old I'll tell you at least one thing that clicks in my head was he had one bad mama in his life His mama knew who God was and he said let me tell you something son You won't learn who God is anybody grew up on a home. We're going to church was not an option You are going or you're gonna meet Jesus right now anybody I've never understood growing up like like they would put the Wizard of Oz on on Sunday nights And I wanted to stay home to watch it

But I couldn't because we went to church 17 times a week and I got drugged to church every time we went I slept On the back pew, but at least I was there. I'm not like there was no option I had to be in that's how a way it was and I see Jedida she's like she's taking her her boy, Josiah I'm gonna teach you who God is she's pouring into her boy, and she is Flipping the script on a godless culture Understand remember it was her father-in-law Ammon who was a Manasseh who was a mess for 55 years bringing in all kinds Paganism then it was her husband that she was married to that was so evil. He was killed off in two years She is the wife Inside this family, but there was something in her that was bigger than the corruption and the evil outside of her that y'all Are tore up from the floor up, but I'm gonna keep serving God even when it doesn't feel good and it's not popular I'm gonna know him for myself and it was that woman It was the strength of that mama that raised her baby all I came with good news to somebody today Your house might be tore up and there might be nobody you can look to in your generations that ever worshipped God, right? But that's why you're here God always gives another opportunity in a new generation for somebody to stand up and say as for me and my house We're going to turn this mess around It's exactly what she did she said it stops with this generation and she began to pour into her son Josiah and Josiah is taking this on the Bible goes on to tell us that Josiah had two mentors You need a mama and mentors in your life That's all I got to say a mama and some mentors to train and that's exactly what happened in Joe's Josiah found watch this His identity in God and it was that identity began to move him forward Can we just stop for a second and just thank God for all the mamas who would were? Relentless with their faith and they kept praying and they kept taking us to church and they kept in Encouraging us in our faith. Come on. Thank God for that. If you had that you're a blessed. You're a blessed person 2nd Kings chapter 23 verse 25 later on in Josiah's story. Here's here's what it says. You want to know how powerful this lady is? Listen to the son she raised The Bible says in this passage that never was there a king like Josiah before him or after him

Greater than King David The impact of this young man's life and his passion for God was no joke He went hard after God and he got this accolade his Reputation was stellar. His leadership was unmatched and because of his passion and heart for God The Bible says there was 31 years of peace that the kingdom of Judah had there was not one battle They had to deal with Ladies and gentlemen when you do things right and you honor God with the identity of him on your life Peace will sweep over your life. I'm telling you right now. It is the result of doing what honors God Well, where did this all come from you see the very first passage of Scripture that Josiah would have learned is the same passage Of Scripture that Jewish children learn today It comes out of Deuteronomy chapter 6 for the all of our students here It's called the Shema Deuteronomy chapter 6 verse 4 says Shema Israel I don't I Elohim who I don't I a hide here Oh Israel the Lord our God He is one but it goes on to say this in verse 5 You must love the Lord your God with all your heart all your soul and all your strength Would you read that with me? you must love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your Strength that pretty much covers it right there That's like everything that I am. I am to love him with all that I am that but but understand something That's not just about information That's about relationship In other words, he didn't just know about God he had a relationship with God Ladies and gentlemen, those are two different worlds There are people that are absolute scholars and they're teaching in the greatest universities around the nation today Old Testament survey New Testament survey their teaching on theology and they're so far from God because they have information But they've never experienced the one true and living God on the inside and it is possible You and I can actually walk that out to be able to tell people about God But to say that I've experienced God to the point that he's impacted and altered my life changed my decisions Rescripted my relationships giving me new values a new purpose in life. We've got to live our lives at that level right there Josiah's identity and God was next level. He believed God is holy and supreme. He believed that he belonged to God

He believed that he was created to serve God and he believed that God's Word is truth that he would live by That's next level right there. That's the only way a Junior in high school could make those kinds of declarations and watch it work Cindy and I we were in Israel a couple of weeks ago And it wasn't a trip that we just decided to take we were asked to go on this trip to accompany pastors John and Diana Hagee now if you don't know Pat who pastor Hagee is then it won't necessarily register But this man is 85 years old now and has been on television for decades around the world and is the founder of Christians United for Israel, which we serve on the executive board for that. There's 11 million members now in Christians United for Israel. This church has been a part of CUFI, Christians United for Israel, since the beginning, since the inception of this church, 2011, and we do a lot of work sharing benevolently in the love to impact and support the Nation of Israel in multiple ways, in multiple different agencies, to the tune of almost 200 million dollars over the past 20 years. The impact has been so real. The people of Israel, the Jewish people, are so grateful that when Pastor Hagee shows up, it gets everybody's attention because he's so loved and the witness of the Christians to our Jewish brothers and sisters there, it makes radical impact and they're so grateful. It brings a love and a connection that is so needed today. I could run down a rabbit trail on that, I'm not going to. We are there with him and because his name and his presence is so big in Israel, we got labeled, like, by association. Like, we landed, we landed, the plane landed in Israel and you've got the Ben-Gurion Airport, like the major airport, the only airport there, and you've got hundreds, thousands of people that are there in the airport. They're all waiting in line to go through customs and get checked in and they bring us through a side door in the airport that I have never been in in my entire life. They walk us past everybody and go, hey, what's up? Like, this whole line of people, they walk up, chink, chink, chink, chink, they're stamping stuff and they shoot us right out the door like, well, that was nice right there. I'd never done that before in my entire life. And then we're going into places that you can't get in if you want to, military bases. We're going into some top-secret

places that are not open to like, they're like, they're like opening it up and bringing us in because of the love that we've shown them. They're bringing us in so we understand the impact that, that the dollars have made and the impact of the community. This one time we were eating, we were eating lunch in Jerusalem in this little hole in the wall and, and the streets are busy, like, packed and we got two vanfuls, there's about 12, 15 of us, and, and, and there's, there's two vans that we have together. They're all blacked out like it's all that and, and, and when we come out of the restaurant, they just park the vans in the streets. People are blowing the horns, move the vans. I don't blame them. It would have irritated me too, but, but we're all trying to get loaded to the vans to get out of there. Cindy and I run, we get in the second van. Pastor Hague is getting in the first van because he's the lead. Security is there, the whole nine yards. Well, I'm sitting in the van, the big sliding door is open and I'm seeing all the people going by, the horns are blowing. It was all of that and these young people, these teenagers are coming down the street and they're seeing all this go on and you could tell they were impressed by the security that was there and these blacked out vans and, and horns blowing and, and one of the young people, he, he's on the street and I'm sitting here in the van looking through the door. He goes, hey, are you famous? I said, hey, no. Are you kidding me? I'm just, I'm there by association. I could never get there on my own, have this kind of thing. One greater than I, I was connected to and wherever, whatever door he walked through, I walked through as well. The security that was with him was the security that was me. The opportunity that he had was the opportunity that I had. I didn't have to have it together because my identity was associated with Pastor John Hague's that entire time. Can I tell you something? When you begin to associate your identity in Christ, every door he walks through, you can walk through. All his power is your power. All of his favor is your favor. Why would you not want to link up to him and already walk the lane that he's already paid the price for? This is what you and I get to buy into. This, this new identity, this transformed life in Christ, it

doesn't come from information, it comes from relationship. How many of you know that mamas don't have babies because they read a book? No, no, let me help you with something. It's not from information, it's from intimacy. That's what creates that. We aren't transformed because of what we know about God. We need a new identity that comes only through closeness, relationship with God. In other words, don't just read the book, know the author. Don't just eat the food, know the chef. Hold up, that means you get to eat what's not on the menu. Do you understand? That's kind of nice that way. Don't just live the life, know your creator. These are different levels and this is what the identity is all about. So let me ask you, where do you find your significance? Where do you find your value, your purpose in life? Where does yours come from? What makes you feel good about being you? What gives you the purpose to wake up on a Monday Morning and go again. Where does your drive? Where are you? What is it that wakes you up with this this passion this excitement about life? Do you have it? Well, I want you to understand There's there's there's three different areas that people will look to for their identity The first one is an external focus People look outside of themselves to qualify if they're okay And in other words, I'm looking to others. I'm looking to culture for approval So that means I buy stuff. I can't afford to try to impress people that don't know me so that they will like me Yeah, I need people to look at me and think man if I could just be them They just don't know that I've got all the bills to pay when I get home for all that stuff that I paid to get That they just just keep looking this way and that means this if I hit the standard that the culture says Then that means I have value and significance. Whoa, go me The challenge is if I fail to hit those standards my self-worth goes down I'm not as good They're better. They're always stronger man They're their vacations better than mine their house is better than mine, and I'm always scrambling and can I tell you something folks? It's such a trap Someone's always gonna have a nicer vacation to you Someone's always gonna drive a nicer car than you someone's always gonna have more money than you someone's always gonna have more approval Than you do and this is it's such it's such a trap such a trick

You've got somebody who man if I just had more followers There are people that have a million followers on social media, but they can't post what they want They have to post what the million followers want to hear That means the million followers are not following the one the one is actually following the million followers They are enslaved to 1 million people because they have to keep them kind because if not if I don't keep them liking me They might unfollow me and that will hurt my worth my status my value The problem is seeking value from others will always allow other people to control you Other people decide your purpose you are owned When other people get to decide whether you're right or valuable or not, but then there's a second not just external There's also an internal focus that people do Mm-hmm. I've done this you've done this I look inward for my own value. Nobody defines me I'm good all by myself I'm gonna be true to me and true to me only I'm gonna validate I'm gonna value my own Significance you don't like me kiss my grits. I am fine. Just like I am and It's all good. But here's the problem Any idea of right and wrong outside of your opinion now becomes judgmental in your mind If I validate me, then whoever doesn't agree with me is no longer my friend now They're my enemy because you didn't just oppose my opinion you opposed my value You you attacked my worth you attacked my Significance if you don't agree with me and ladies and gentlemen, this is the challenge that we're living in today We have so many people living as victims because our culture today this new moral standard of I'm good Just like I am I'm I don't need anybody else. It is a lie That's making people implode now. We're backing up now. Everybody is blaming everybody else Everyone is calling everyone a judge mental and they're trying to cancel people because you don't Validate who I am and what I call truth in my life and now it's all coming to it It's all it's all crashing in. This is why culture can't tolerate someone disagreeing with their views and we're so segmented in our culture because I can't disagree with you but still have a friendship with you and like you because your Disagreement with me was actually a slam against me because if you don't qualify who I am then now you're my enemy Therefore I've got to separate you're dangerous and now our world is splintering because we've got everyone who's gone Internally focused and the problem with that is this we aren't able to determine our own value

That's like somebody saying let me tell you how humble I am. I Can't decide truth for me and then everyone else to comply to my truth, but they're allowed to have their own It doesn't work that way. Ladies and gentlemen, it just doesn't work that way External and internal standards always fail There's only one source that you can find true identity and value and purpose that is going to be Long-standing and it comes outside of you. It doesn't come in others. It doesn't come in culture It doesn't come from inside of you because you and I are so flaky We change our mind so often that I don't even find peace in my own world When you and I look outside and inside for validity What happens is all of that begins to crash and crumble because it creates an emotional conflict in me. I know it It doesn't add up. I keep changing my mind about life. I was this five years ago now I'm this three years ago that now I'm this two years a Life keeps changing and that means I have nothing stable to build my life on now. We know this about ourselves No, the third and the only thing that you can build your life on is Christ It's a Christ focus Relationship with Jesus shapes my identity It is my identity he is look what Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2 says this read this with me We must focus on Jesus the source and goal of our faith the source and the goal Like like I don't have the ability to do this without him He is the source of it all another scripture says in him I live and move and have my being that means outside of Christ. I don't live I don't move and I have no being I'm a shell of a person. I'm gutted I Keep changing ideas, and I'm not sure where I am. No wonder We're living life in a spin cycle and nothing is moving I feel like I'm wasting time and we are trying everything except for Christ to define my life You'll never find who you are until you fully surrender to him and let me show you What an identity in Christ looks like this is amazing number one Here's what it says God is my creator When you have an identity with Christ you shout God is my creator

He's the cause and the source of who I am that gives me dignity and value Despite my behavior despite what people think of me despite what my past has been I have dignity I have value despite the external factors I can be Paul as a church mouse as they used to say But I've got dignity and value to my life because I know my creator He is the cause of my life the source of my life number two that identity says I'm forgiven when you've given your life to Jesus and you're finding your identity him you're saying I'm free There's grace on my life free from my past the guilt and the shame is gone Oh, I did all that I did all that that they said in the courtroom. I did all that that the family members Yes, I did that and then some stuff that you never found out about I did all of that stuff But I'm standing here today free and clear no shame is on my life shame was on the cross I have been set free grace is on my life Number three I belong to God. This is the third characteristic the third statement of an identity in Christ I belong to God that means I'm loved and I'm favored. I'm loved and I'm favored now I've got a godfidence operating in my life. It's not confidence It's godfidence it because it doesn't come out of me, but since I know that he loves me even if you don't I'm good And it's not because I'm all that it's because he's all that it's because I feel his pleasure on my life It's because I'm living for his joy. I fits of relationship. It's not just a religion. It's not just a mantra No, there is something that moves me inside that I know he's real and when I put a smile in his face There's nothing like that. I got some favor on my life. I can't explain why I'm living as good as I am It's just because I've linked myself to his identity and it's opening doors for me and taking me places I never could have gotten on my own It's the identity of Christ on me that I get to run where he's goes it Changes everything the fourth thing that this identity says I've got 21. So hold on it. No, no, no, no, no, no They're just five. They're just five. They're just five. The fourth thing is this I'm Created to serve God That's what an identity in Jesus identifies with I'm created to serve him That means I have purpose for my life You wonder why you're here. You wonder why you're sucking air Ephesians chapter 2 says that you were created

After the problem existed That means you are the answer to a problem nobody else is That the work and the purpose of your life preceded you God saw a problem and he created you as the answer and then launched you into the certain now go get it You are made with a purpose. You're not just here running around. You're not just a duplicate of somebody else if Two things are identical one is irrelevant. You're not there is a purpose to your life. I'm created to serve God I'm here to rep Jesus everywhere. I go bring hope to this culture be a peacemaker inside of tore-up areas I'm here to bring joy where there's chaos. I'm here to serve the church and the community I bring all of that together with my life Because I'm living for his purpose and since Jesus died for the world and to birth the church then I live My life to impact the world and to serve his church. That's the purpose of my life And the fifth thing is this I live by God's Word Yes, I do That means it's his truth. Not mine That means culture can't alter my truth Regardless of what culture says regardless of what laws are passed. It doesn't matter Heaven and earth will pass away His word will remain forever Let foolishness happen in our nation let centuries pass This is unchanged unmovable And if you want to build your life on something that when the storms blow it does not get shook you need to know who he is and he will hold your hand and Anchor you down in life and carry you things that you should have lost your mind in the middle of but you come out greater Why because his identity is on me and I'm living by a higher standard than what I could come up with Higher than what culture can think of I'm doing it God's way I'm done with this. I Read for you in the very beginning 2nd Kings 22 verse 1, but I want to I want to reread the last the last line of that verse His mother was Jedi

Jedi the Jedi to excuse me. Jedi to the daughter of a dia from Bozkav Isn't it interesting the Bible tells us where she's from The like this mama This mama is from a specific area and you need to know where she's from Because it gives even more Girl, you got it going on It gives more that impact why? Because this area where she was born in it was in a valley in a plain it's actually the region is called Shapala and Shapala if you ever Google that you'll learn more than you ever want to know, but Shapala is a valley where you've got the mountains of Judah where Jerusalem and God is worshipped on the mountains and It comes down the mountains into the valley and it goes over to the Mediterranean Sea Where the enemies of Israel came in and they were living in that region and there was a clash of kingdoms in Shapala The city that she's from is right in the middle of all of that that means it's a clash of cultures It's a clash of ideas That's the enemies Israel's greatest enemies were fought right there David and Goliath that battle took place in Shapala it's where these worlds the Philistines and Israel the clash of kingdoms and there was a battle of ideas a battle of theology all this is going on and and Josiah's mama was raised in the middle of that hellhole in the middle of that chaos in the middle of that Swirling idea of what's right and what's wrong and she was so strong. She was so bold She was so boss in who she was. She got two handfuls of goddess that I'm not letting go I know who you are and this culture won't sway me and the conflict and Ideas being exchanged and the pressure to go this way or that way it will not move me I know who you are and I'm holding on and it was that That raised this young lady up to produce a son Who had become the greatest king that Israel ever saw and brought 31 years of peace and rest Because there was a mama Who knew who God was and she didn't just teach her son who God was but she showed him how to know him for himself and God's identity was imprinted on Josiah and it changed everything ladies and gentlemen

When you and I know God that way Changes everything changes your home changes your relationships changes your dating relationships changes how you handle your money Changes how you deal with boneheaded people at work? It changes how you deal with social media it changes it affects all of that Because he's leading all these steps in my life in fact the place that she's from Bosco it Literally means let me just get it specifically down. Yeah, I said it means elevation and a rocky height Those two words together which actually means it's a dangerous promotion You're on a rocky ledge, but it's taking you higher and higher She this woman was willing to stand in a place that was dangerous in an exchange of opinions Only to take a hold of God and be elevated and go higher and higher So that she could raise another generation that would know who God is. Would you please stand to your feet? You So Speaking of travel, last year many of you know Cindy and I both were invited and we went to Switzerland to speak in Switzerland. Had an amazing, amazing time there. Did a little vacation while we're there because when you're across the pond, enjoy it. But getting there was kind of tough because we left early one morning to get to the airport. I mean you know when you go to Orlando it could be 17 hours or two. You're just not really sure which one. It's like just call the helicopter. Just come drop me off. We'll parachute into the airport and then just fly us up from there. We do this drive. We get there. We pull in. We start yanking bags out and I tell Cindy run in and get in line. Get the passports out and we can get ready to get checked in. She went, oh my God. And I said, did we forget? I did not. I did not tell you. That's that's my job. I'm supposed to. I didn't tell you. I didn't bring up. I didn't call out. We didn't talk about passports did we? We didn't bring that part up. No we didn't Scott. We missed that flight. We drove back home

and had to fly out the next day. I mean they just don't give you new flights going forward and they just like you got to kind of re-up something. Here's what I'm telling you. If you don't have the right credentials you're going nowhere. It doesn't matter what kind of price you think you've paid to get there. If you don't have the right identification you go nowhere but with the right ID you can go everywhere. Jesus makes the way. I want you to bow your heads in this room today. If you're hearing you say Scott my ID is expired. I know I don't have the right identification and I want to go everywhere Jesus wants to take me. I don't want to miss a thing. I'm not going to do this perfect. I still got things that I struggle with. Well let me help you. Me too. All of us do. But you want to link up with his identity on your life and live life the way he promised you could have it because it's a it's a life he's already paid for. You can't buy it. It's already been paid for. He just wants you to accept it through him. If you're here today on this Mother's Day 2025 and you're saying Scott I want Jesus. I want his identity on my life. I want to give him me fresh and anew. On the count of three I just want you to shoot your hand right up in the air real easily. One, two, three. Where are you? Oh yeah. Man hands everywhere. I love y'all. Put your hands down. I love you. You know what way beyond me seeing it heaven saw that. That's beautiful. You're my kind of folks. I want everyone all of you just pray this prayer. Say Jesus I choose you. Come into my heart. Forgive me. Change me. I want your identity on my life. You are my sign. You're my value. You're my worth. Help me to live this life that pleases you. Thank you for saving me in Jesus name. Amen. Can you put your hands together right now for everyone who just prayed that for a man. Hands were all through this room today.
