In Week 2 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed Series, Pastor Mike emphasizes the significance of surrendering your damage to God. Drawing inspiration from 2 Samuel 9:3-13, this message urges us to recognize and acknowledge our damage. God is calling for your damage. He wants us to bring it to Him so He may carry it, cover it in His grace, and transform it into our destiny. So we may share our testimony. If you’re ready for your damage not to be your identity but for it to lead you to your destiny, we invite you to take a step of faith and bring your hurt to God.

children’s Pastor every parent who’s a
pastor cuz you’re parenting your home we
appreciate you um today I’ve been sent
on assignment and they only gave me 22
minutes to
preach I’m just
playing um but this week I I feel like I
have a prophetic
burden this is not a message that’s
warmed up and like I’m going to
Elevation Church let’s preach this no no
no no no no I’ve been praying about the
people who would be in this room and be
watching this on rebroadcast and that
would be in Tulsa and God gave me a
burden I’ve been carrying y’all all
week because there’s many people in this
room who have been
hurting
distracted and devastated by damage that
happened to you in another
season now this message is not for
everybody it’s only for people who’ve
experienced
damage somebody’s like not me
liar let let’s be hot humble open and
transparent if you have experienced
damage in any area of your life
relationally financially physically
emotionally would you please just let
everybody feel comfortable and raise
your hand right now come on if your hand
is not up
Lord and this week I released a brand
new book called d damage but not destroy
and um the reason I tell you this is
because I I I wanted people to
understand the Journey of going from
trauma to
Triumph and right now in this day and
age a lot of people are staying in the
trauma they’re glorifying the
trauma they are making the trauma the
excuse but my Bible says when God Gets
In the Mix of
something it cannot stay the
same and many of us have been working to
keep our excuses the same and today I
came to help you be
delivered today I need your faith and
expectation to go to another level at
every place that you are listening to
this on the treadmill in Tulsa right
here in this room God is coming to move
you out of the paralytic place you’ve
been and by faith your damage will no
longer Define you okay let me get into
this
my burden is to tell you write this down
the value is still in
you I know that people tried to tell you
what you would never be I know that you
getting denied from that school made you
feel something insignificant I know when
they didn’t hire you at Elevation
Church I felt that thing in here
there you thought that their elev
was God’s elevation for
you and today I came to tell you no
matter what you’ve lost the value is
still in you somebody say the value is
still in me value you didn’t say it with
your chest say it with your chest the
value is still in me I need you to every
campus with faith say the value value is
still in me so act like
it stop coming into the presence of God
acting like he didn’t put
hisself he put himself on the inside of
you he said holy spirit Jesus let’s make
man in
our that wasn’t your body first cuz it
was three Spirits
talking so what did he make first he
made your spirit he made the thing that
will never change
he said I’m in you and if I’m in you
there is nothing anything and nobody can
do to you in this world that takes away
your value oh
okay and the LIE of the enemy listen to
me is that the more life you live the
more value you
lose we act like our lives is like a car
going off the car lot that as soon as we
drive it off it
depreciates but I came to tell some
somebody right now who has been in a
place of wondering if God still wanted
to use you the person with the two
divorces the value is still in you you
lost your second business the value is
still in you y’all better help me you’ve
been in the same cycle for 50 years the
value is still in you the woman who’s
been promiscuous and the young man that
has a body count more than we can count
the value is
still now I know there’s a brick wall
that I’m talking to right now cuz some
of you have believed the lie so long you
don’t see yourself how God sees
you and today I’m about to shake you up
I’m ready to fight the devil oh
y’all I’m tired of seeing God’s
people the same ones that come in here
and sing these beautiful songs walk out
and feel that God has no purpose for
them and that they can’t move forward
somebody say the value is still in me
still
okay so Ephesians 2:10 don’t just put
this on an Instagram post believe it for
your
life for we are
God’s
Masterpiece that’s nasty Bible right
there I I want you to think about
something that you think is
beautiful and the creator of the
universe says out of everything I
made I’m going to call
you my master
piece if we got paintings in Paris and
in and in museums that I don’t even know
how to say the words of where they’re
from and they they call them
Priceless how much
more if something a creation
made is
priceless how much more are you worth to
God God okay
okay this is the tension I need us to be
able to wrestle with this
morning I am valuable
but I am
damaged this is the
tension cuz I know God thinks I’m his
Masterpiece Creator the brand new in
Christ Jesus glory to
God but every time I get mad I still
want to
curse oh y’all going to be
fake you you was in traffic this morning
saying some stuff you better quit
it I am the righteousness of Jesus
Christ but I still get mad at my
kids
okay oh God I got to go back home cuz
this section is acting bougie
I I’ll do anything for you Lord except
give up the
cake
your sin is not lust it’s
gluttony okay can we be does does
anybody that loves Jesus still have some
I
still I I still deal with
comparison
I I I I
still look at
what I’ve done and disqualify myself
from what God wants to do somebody say I
still I this is the tension of
being called by God is that I know I’m
valuable but I still have some things
that God’s healing on the inside of me
and what the enemy would try to convince
you is that you are too damaged to be
able to do what God Said cuz you
still have some areas that God is
working on you for all the perfect
people raise your
hand cuz the only person that would be
perfect on this Earth is
Jesus and if you’re waiting for
everything to be perfect before you
start doing what God’s called you to do
you’re going to be waiting forever God
is saying to us right now would you
bring me your
damage this is the journey I’ve been on
for the past four years I was here 5
years ago since then I’ve learned I’m
damaged and if I just sit in that I get
defeated but if I bring my damage to the
only one who can handle
it he will turn my damage into something
that pushes me to everybody say Destiny
Destiny Okay so today I’m going to title
this message oh I’m about to preach to
you in the next 15 minutes I I don’t
know why I started jumping like Tiger
but I’m telling
you I’m going to preach a message and
this is what we’re going to title it
what does God do with
damage what does God do with damage the
first thing I want to tell you that God
does with damage I’m going to use this
um Old Testament um character that a lot
of people don’t talk about because
simply they can’t say his
name his name is michef
I know I don’t know what his parents was
thinking but there are there are a lot
of Davids around here and a lot of
Phillips ain’t a lot of mbfs in
2023 this young man named
michef was in line to be the king of the
entire
country but I need to set a little
backstory so you understand where mfib
Chef’s damage came from okay so so so
I’m about to show you some pictures
because I like to to to make stories
come alive in the Bible this is by no
means biblically
accurate cuz the church
folks but I’m going to just try to make
it com Al I’m there was a there was a
king named Saul could you put him on the
screen in my mind in the movie of my
mind this is what Saul looks
like and he once was anointed by
God but he stopped obeying the commands
of God he wanted the
position but he did not want to follow
in obedience be careful when you’re
walking in a position and you stop
obeying God took his hand off of his
life and and he had to raise up another
king okay we’re just gonna walk through
this but then Saul had a son named
Jonathan this in my mind is what
Jonathan looked like this was Jonathan
okay ladies calm
down that’s just she oh you laughing too
hard over
there that’s just Idis but in my mind
this is what Jonathan looked like and
Jonathan was was Saul’s son he was in
line to be the heir of the throne but
when Daddy disobeyed it took away the
son’s
inheritance the reason we got to deal
with our damage is because what’s not
transformed is
transferred the the reason we got to go
to counseling and we believe in theology
and therapy
uh-oh I’m going just pray about it you
need to pray about it and go to a
practice you need to get in a e group
and community and you need to go to
counseling you need to worship and do
the hard work that’s what some of y’all
came for right
there but Jonathan now has a son and his
son’s name is
michef okay so michef is crippled
and I’m going to I’m going to show you a
picture of what michef looks like in my
mind okay so it’s Saul it’s Jonathan and
it’s michet
okay now watch somebody’s like is that
my brother I saw you I know
him there was one more character in this
story his name was King David and this
is what King David looked like in in in
the movie of my mind right now okay King
David put him on the screen for me real
quick I don’t know it’s just wrong like
okay now that everybody has this movie
in their
head this sets the story for where we
find King David after
michef is now in a place where he’s been
damaged watch this 2 Samuel chapter 9:3
one day David asked he’s King now is
there anyone in Saul’s family still
alive anyone to whom I can show kindness
for Jonathan’s sake cuz Jonathan and D
were boys Zeba
replied yes one of Jonathan’s Sons is
still alive he is crippled in both feet
though where is he the king asked in
loar Zeba told him at the home of maker
son of ail so David watch this sent for
him and brought him from Maker’s home
now I want to point out the hater in
this story his name is
Zeba and Zeba has the ear of the king
the king asked is there anybody left
that I can show kindness to and he says
yeah and does not say his name he says
his
condition be careful when people
describe you by your condition and not
your
name he said there’s yeah there’s
somebody left but he’s
crippled there’s somebody left but
they’re a liar there’s somebody left but
they they’re not
faithful and the reason that this young
man was crippled michef was not his own
fault and that’s why I want to let you
know you have to make sure you don’t
allow people to make your issue your
identity no hear me you did it you are
not
it can we be honest some of us have done
some dumb
things but do not let your issue or
anybody else make your issue your
identity and he tries to describe him
and the truth of the matter is like most
of us michef was damaged not because of
his own
fault when I when I think about most of
the places in my life I’m going to just
be real about me that I got damaged most
of it happened before I was a
teenager the insecurity did did not
start when I was
28 it started at 12
you see how quiet it
is that drive to go and go and perform
and Excel that’s cuz they didn’t see you
unless you got a
trophy so at 6 years old you knew you
couldn’t just say what you need you
needed to prove you were worth them
looking at
you it’s start the greatest time to kill
a king is when it’s a
kid the reason the enemy’s been after
you since you were a young
child it’s because there is a king in
you and the greatest time to kill a
king is when it’s a kid it’s what they
tried to do to Moses kill every child
under the age of two that’s what they
tried to do to
Jesus and some of us have been dealing
with our damage since we were
young and and this is what I need you to
know you are so special you’ve always
been a threat to the
devil no here what I’m just say saying
the attack on your life from a young age
has been because if you ever walk fully
in the Dominion that God has given you
if you ever were fully free from the
insecurity well I can’t do that and I’m
not like them and if you ever just said
but he is with
me and if he is with
me
who everybody say who I like that who
can be against me 2 Samuel chapter 4 I
got to move Saul’s son Jonathan had a
son named michef who was crippled I’m
going to show you where his damage
happened he was 5 years old when he got
damaged and the report came from Jezreel
that Saul and Jonathan had been killed
in battle when the child’s nurse heard
the news she picked him up and fled but
as she hurried away she dropped him and
he became crippled what happens when the
person who was supposed to care for you
damages
you I’m not going to get too much in
your business but some of your issues is
your
mama and some of your issues is your
daddy and some of your issues it’s the
people who are supposed to care for
you they drop
you uhhuh uh-huh I’m about to deal with
it cuz the damage is no longer going to
Define us I feel the presence of God
already if there’s anybody that feels
like your damage is too big for God let
me just run a list down for you of
people that God used who were damaged
Noah was a drunk Abraham was too old
Isaac was a Daydreamer and a Wanderer
Jacob was a liar Leah was ugly Moses was
a murderer with the stutter Gideon was
afraid Samson was a uh flirt let’s be
real politically correct Rahab was a
prostitute David was an adulterer and a
murder Elijah was suicidal uh Isaiah
preached naked Jonah ran away from God
job went bankrupt and lost everything
John the Baptist ate bugs that’s just
weird Peter denied Jesus the disciples
fell asleep while Jesus was praying the
Samaritan woman was divorced five times
and had a sex addiction zakus was too
small and stole money Paul was too
righteous Timothy had an ulcer Lazarus
was dead and Michael was addicted to
pornography and my God still used all of
us uh-oh uh-oh you about to make me run
cuz there’s some people that know that
God can do his best work with damaged
people if you believe it give God a
shout of
Praise I feel my help coming
on write it down in a point God does his
best work with damage
people cuz his strength is made perfect
in our weak so why won’t you show him
your
weakness been trying to keep it together
for everybody and God says if you want
to hold it up do
it I’ll be here when you want to
actually come
clean so what can God do with your
damage first point he calls for
it everybody that’s trying to hide your
damage good
luck when
mabeth is in a place
called lar a place of nothing no pasture
no fruit growing the king says is there
anybody I can say yeah this one dude he
said go get
him I’m calling for the
damaged you’re broken I like
that you’re fractured come
on he calls what can God do with damage
he calls for it and some of y’all have
not been answering the
call no I’m just going to to be a
businessman he said I want you to be in
that field but I want you to bring all
your damaged areas to me so I can raise
you up as a testimony in that
area and some of you today all God
saying is I want your
damage stop hiding
it stop acting like it didn’t happen you
were abused when you were young and your
family doesn’t even know
it you’ve blocked it out you’ve
suppressed it and you wondering why
you’re dealing with anxiety so much cuz
it was never meant to stay on the inside
of
you I want your
damage
tonight when you’re in your bed and the
Holy Spirit begins to start whispering
to you and he reminds you of things that
happen he what he’s doing is he’s
calling for the
damage I want it I’m the only one that
can do something with it what does God
do with you what your damn damage he
calls for it the second thing that God
does with your damage watch this he
carries it oh this makes me happy
because mabef was
crippled I need you to understand just
imagine with me they come to his door
knock Knock Knock
knock
hello is my FF
there yes what a horrible name Come With
Me Now watch when they say come with
me he does not have the power on his
own to get to where he has been
commissioned or destined to go he’s in a
place of nothing and they want him in
the palace so the king oh I feel the
presence of God will never ask you to
come to a place that he won’t carry you
to Scott come help me real quick Scott I
need a couple strong guys come on help
me he’s sitting
down and he’s like hey you’re not going
to kill me because it was custom back
then to anybody that was in line before
you killed their whole family so when
the King’s Guard came to him he was like
um I’m about to die that’s what
Christianity sometimes makes people
think that when God comes to them he’s
ready to Smite them and punish them the
King was wanting to show favor but he
says come with me to the Palace but he
still does not have the
ability to get there on his own so the
king sends power that is not his
own you want me to come oh
God these brothers is
strong take me over to the king’s Palace
take me over
there all mabef had to do is surrender
ah so he could be taken now don’t drop
me just let let me down let me
down what are you saying to me Pastor
Mike God will never call you to a place
that he won’t carry you
to the problem is most of us have not
surrendered let me show you Zechariah
4:6 it says this is the word of the Lord
to zerubabel not by
might not by power but it’s going to be
by the spirit of God where you’re at
right now God’s saying I’m calling for
your damage but if you would surrender
I’ll carry
you I will carry you to the place I want
you to be Philippians 1:6 and I am
certain that God who began the good work
within you will continue his work until
it’s finally finished on the day of
Jesus Christ what will God do with your
damage he calls for it he carries it and
then watch this he covers
it when maef gets to to the
Palace he comes in and he thinks he’s
dead I mean look at it in the scripture
literally King David has to say don’t be
afraid I intend to show you kindness
this is verse seven because of the
promise I made to your father Jonathan I
will give you woo all the property that
once belonged to your grandfather Saul
and you will eat here with me at the
king’s table but watch this this is our
response usually because of our damage
michef bowed respectfully and exclaimed
who is your servant that you should show
such kindness to a dead dog like
me be careful when shame starts
talking he’s in the presence of the king
and many times God is wanting to use us
at a higher level and our shame starts
talking why would you even consider a
dead dog like me but the king
ignores his
ignorance cu the king knows the value
that’s on the inside of him just like
the king knows the value that’s on the
inside of you and he invites him to eat
at his table now the reason why this
blows my mind is because when you think
about where michef was damaged where was
his damage at his
legs when you pull up a seat to the
king’s
table when he sits and he looks over the
landscape of everybody else the thing
that damaged him is now covered let me
introduce you to the grace of God when
you come into a loving relationship by
faith with God the grace of God covers
your damag area somebody should get
excited about that cuz what the enemy
was trying to use to disqualify you is
the very thing that God says I know it
but I’ll cover it and
we have to begin
to rely on the grace somebody shout at
me Grace Grace the unmar unearned
undeserved favor and kindness of God and
some of y’all think y’all built y’all
own
table and you covering yourself you
trying to have money cover it we still
see
you you getting flown out we still see
you MC makeup Louie Gucci findy
down we still see you it’s not until you
get covered with a Grace
of God I got to move I came to tell
somebody pull up a chair to the table of
God pull up a chair chair to where God
has for you listen to me what does God
do with it with your damage say it with
me say he calls for it calls for it he
carries it he carries it he covers it he
covers it number four he converts
it he flipped that
thing God says if you give me your
damage I’ll flip it if if you give me
everything that you’ve been ashamed of
and you let me cleanse you and purify
you and wash you and change you and
transform you I’ll flip this thing so
cold mabef in one day goes from crippled
to
covered everybody say one day one day I
don’t know if today is your one day but
by faith I’m prophesying that God is
about to turn your season around very
quickly this thing what it looked like
last year it’s going to look like
something else this year some of y’all
don’t have faith to believe it but I
need a few people with crazy faith that
my situation can flip when God gets in
the midst of
it if you believe it at every campus
give God a shout of Praise oh I feel
this
thing he can convert this
JJ crippled to covert shame to having a
seat no identity to a full
inheritance he went from Pain to a
platform his damage was turned into
Destiny his trauma became
Triumph he went from separated to being
a
son this is the gospel this is the good
news tell everybody y’all know a song
huh that’s what Jesus did for me the
only reason I’m standing on this stage
is not because I did everything perfect
it’s when I messed up when I did the
wrong thing when I was damaged I did not
run from my father I ran to
him I have four children and all of them
Break
Stuff they don’t know how much stuff
costs they have no
clue but but my children have all broken
expensive things but the one thing I
love about all my kids is when they
break something that they know they
cannot pay for
and they do not have the intelligence to
fix they bring it to their
father now if a four-year-old and a
5-year-old and a seven-year-old has the
sense to bring their damaged things to
their
father what’s our
excuse Church what I’m asking you today
is to bring your damage to God cuz he’s
big enough to handle
it what does God do with damage he calls
for it
he carries it he covers it this is good
news he converts it last one he
commissions
it God doesn’t want you to hide your
damage he wants to heal your damage and
then he wants you to take it and use it
to share with everybody else how good
God has been I I recall a story in John
5:8 there was a man that was a paralytic
sitting by the pool for 38 years and
Jesus asked him a question the same
question I’m going to ask you today do
you
want to be made whole see this is the
thing that everybody has the real life
getting healed from your damage is a
decision some of y’all been holding on
to the thing that God said give me that
and you playing tug of war with God he
said keep it if you want it you want to
have low self-esteem for the rest of
your life keep that that’s less than
what I’ve called you to in the Kingdom
you want to keep having I put the whole
team on my back he said my burden is
easy and my yoke is light if you want to
put the whole thing on your back go
ahead but when you get sick of carrying
it I’ll be
[Applause]
here this man he answers I want to be
made whole Jesus heals him man pops up
and he about to run off and G said hold
hold on come here come here take this
mat and I bet the man was like I don’t
want
that I don’t want to remember
any from back there yeah and Jesus tells
him no no no you need this this is I’m
commissioning you to go
everywhere I want you to see
walk hey hey I want you to see walk but
make sure you holding that
M because I want all the people who
passed
you to remember that it was not their
effort or their energy it was nothing
but the power of God somebody I don’t
know who I’m talking about but the fact
that you still here it is nothing but
the power of the fact that you still got
your right mind it was nothing but the
power of
God now God is commissioning our
damage that’s why every time I stand up
I tell people I was addicted to
pornography the pastor yes I was a
person before I was a pastor
y’all so
funny I was a liar I was a manipulator
not the man of God
yes and what did I do I brought my
damage to
him cuz in the beginning God said I’m
going to use this broken vessel and I’m
going to change people’s life I’m going
to trans people transform people’s lives
but I need him to not be scared to take
his damage when it’s healed and share it
with
people it’s why the word says we
overcome by the blood of the Lamb that’s
what Jesus
did but the words of our testim that’s
why many people aren’t overcoming cuz
you are too
quiet the reason why that stuff can’t
come back in my life cuz I say it all
the
time this is what God did for
me and today I just came with a burden
to let somebody know who’s had many
abortions
to let somebody know that has continued
to have
miscarriages to let somebody know whose
career has not gotten off the ground to
let somebody know who doesn’t know who
their real family is to let somebody
know who’s made mistakes over and over
God can do something
miraculous with your
damage okay let me explain it will you
bring out my example and then we gonna
go home I I want this picture to last in
your
mind um we are three parts okay we are a
spirit okay and then we are a soul mind
will and emotions and then we have a
body okay and the Holy Spirit showed me
this he he he told me he said Michael
people don’t understand this write these
three things down you have a
covering you have a
container and you have
contents so so the spirit part of you is
the realest part of you it’s what God
Said let us make man in our image it was
the spirit part of you he breathed into
us into dust and then we came in with
your lips and your hips and your eyes
and your thighs it
was a creative
Miracle some of y’all like could I have
less of a miracle can I could you take
off a little bit of this
miracle but what ends up happening is
the covering is our soul mind will and
emotions and in this life a lot of times
through situations we can’t control our
covering gets
ripped and somebody says something to us
that makes us feel not
worthy and then we come into contact
with some other
people and and they start saying things
about
us and we get marked up in our lives and
our mind will and emotions get marked up
and then we get into that relationship
that they fine but we know they not no
good and they start drilling on our
identity and poking holes in our
confidence and we have soul ties with
them because I need to feel something
cuz nobody was ever there to show me
nothing and then we let
success
and our
career
come to poke holes in
US does God want to do something with
this I don’t know there’s so much damage
I did
it and now you want me to think that God
wants to use
me and every time I come around people
I’m getting stabbed in the back that’s
that’s why I’m not joining no small
group there’s people
there come on
y’all I’ll come to worship I think this
is the god well
pray but
people I’m getting cut
on and then stuff happens to me that
stains me forever
God can’t want to use something like
this and then life hits
you isn’t he the example guy oh God I
know but then God brings fire into your
life and it starts burning places in
you and stuff starts catching on
fire and the the truth of the matter is
I don’t know if God can use me cuz I’m
too
damaged
uh-uh this is like when me and my wife
found out our son had
autism he started burning us and
allowing the fear of the future to take
us
out but then the Holy Spirit came and
blew on
us but this still don’t look
good does anybody want
this but God said what you don’t realize
is this was just your soul your mind
will and
emotions the truth of the matter is I’ll
take that and I’ll heal
it I’ll do something that nobody could
do with it yeah it’s messy yes but the
truth of the matter is when you get down
to the container our body it’s been
jacked up too even to the the point
where it starts leaking through and we
say stuff like the value is still in
you but I’m still missing
something but the truth of the matter
is the most valuable part of this whole
thing was not in the
covering and it was not in this
container even though it’s hard to get
this
out it was in the thing that was
covering
it the value of this these are some
really expensive
shoes but the oh even the stain that was
on the
outside did not get on the
inside because the value I need somebody
to hear the
value was in the
contents that was put on the inside of
you if you’re in this room right now and
your covering has been damaged and your
container has been damaged standing at
every campus right now I don’t want you
to just Shout at the end of this message
I want the spirit to speak to
you I want to let you know that the
contents are still
good the value is still in you if you’ve
been damaged in any area of your
life and the enemy’s been trying to
convince you that you because you look
like
this cannot be used by God today I came
to speak to that
lie and I’m here to tell you that I’m a
living
witness that God can take damaged
people who’ve messed up over and over
again who bring their damage back to
him and he can do a miracle that no man
can stop no Scandal can stop no spit can
stop y’all don’t y’all don’t y’all want
to be
fake you can’t cancel me cuz you didn’t
call
me some of y’all ain’t never walked
through nothing but God is doing
something on the inside of my life do I
do everything perfect no but I am
committed to bring my
damage to the foot of the
cross what does God do with
damage what can God do with my
damage I’m here as a living
witness to tell you he calls for
it he carries
it he covers
it he converts it and then he
commissions it if you’re ready for your
damage not to be your definition anymore
but you want your damage to take you to
your destiny would you lift your hands
all over this room I’m about to pray for
you whoa whoa whoa I feel the presence
of God somebody’s realizing the value is
still in them that nothing the enemy has
said or nothing you’ve done to yourself
is going to disqualify you cuz today
here we are God come on we are your
children crying out to you asking us to
take everything that is not like you and
God would you take it take our pieces
and turn it into a
masterpiece take our bad decisions
father God and flip that thing convert
it father into something that brings you
glory and takes us to Destiny
today Father God we will no longer deny
that we’ve been
hurt because you cannot heal what we do
not
reveal so today God here we
are as a church Elevation Church
Transformation Church your sons and
daughters all over the world and we’re
asking you God do something with this
damage use it for your glory we will no
longer be defined by it we will only be
defined by what you’ve
done through your precious son
Jesus the spirit is speaking right now
at every campus you just need to ask the
Holy Spirit I see tears flowing right
now people are getting their faith back
right now you’re going to be able to go
into this week and be the mom you really
want to be you’re going to be able to go
into that job and actually make a
difference for the kingdom of God
somebody’s confidence is coming back if
you’re in this room right now and you’ve
been carrying your damage without the
one who created you
Jesus today if you want to give your
life to Jesus Christ I’m telling you
it’s the greatest decision you could
ever make it’s the thing that took me
from a liar a manipulator one who was
addicted to pornography had all kinds of
bad things in my heart got arrested for
car insurance for all kind of stuff and
God said give me that cuz he’s the only
one that if you give him your heart
he’ll help you change your
habits if you’re here today you’re not
in a room with a bunch of perfect people
you’re in the room with a bunch of
damaged people that have been saved by
grace and we don’t forget what God has
done we’re carrying our M today and
we’re saying you can be healed you can
be freed and you can be changed with one
decision of Faith asking Jesus into your
life it’ll change everything if that’s
you on the count of three I just want
you to lift your hands we’re not going
to make you tell us everything you did
this is not what we’re going to do today
that’s what religion would tell you but
God is saying just give me your heart
I’ll get you with the right people we’ll
talk we’ll
heal religion says Rush hurry and God
says come to
me and if you’re tired of carrying that
burden by yourself on the count of three
I just want you to lift your hand at
every campus at Transformation Church
wherever you are around the world I
don’t care if you’re on the treadmill
and you just walking and then you just m
and everybody’s like what just happened
it’s a dance move called
salvation okay it doesn’t matter forget
them only you and God will stand
in eternity and answer for what you’re
about to do one you’re making the
greatest decision of your life two I’m
proud of you but more than that your
