Worship Starts With Love // 24Ever (Part 1)

I’m like so excited because I’ve been

waiting to do this series like for like

three years and I’m not playing like

like before y’all got here before the

world knew I spoke a version of this

sermon series that I’m about to do today

and God would never let me pull it back

out never let me pull it back out never

let me pull it back out until this month

and the reason is because this title

what we’re talking about the subject it

is very dear to my heart and very dear

to God’s heart and I feel like the

church doesn’t really know a lot about

it they just act like they know a lot

about it and so for the next four to six

weeks I don’t know maybe eight weeks

maybe to the beginning I don’t know but

this thing is in me and if you get the

principles I’m about to teach you in

this series it will change your life

everybody say forever the name of this

series is 20 forever out to worship a

king and the problem so many times with

the church is we think that everybody

knows what worship is because we go to

church we think that people know how to

worship but I started to pull and asked

like hey what is worship and I would get

so many different answers about what

worship was and how to worship and who

was qualified to worship and where do

you worship and when do you worship and

all of these different things and and

God gave me a revelation he said Michael

he said it’s so important that my kids

learn how to worship in practice cuz all

we are right now on earth is in practice

no I thought I know they tell you you

only live once but for believers we live

twice like this is only dress rehearsal

for an amazing production that we get to

worship God everybody say forever and

you know how people be like man I’ve

been doing this 24/7 24/7 I’m I’m with

these kids 24/7 I’m fly 24/7 I’m working

24/7 and and that’s that’s basically a

way to say like I’m doing it all the

time

God told me he said Michael you’re not

gonna worship 24/7 he said I need all my

kids to learn the revelation of

worshipping 20 forever like not not just

while you’re here but our worship

translates from here and it’s supposed

to be what we do forever right now there

are angels around the throne of God and

they’re singing the same song for eat

Ernie did anybody know the song holy

holy holy is the Lord God Almighty

they are on repeat top number one hit in

heaven right now been on the Billboard

charts for a long long time okay and God

said the problem is a lot of people are

gonna be frustrated when they get to

heaven because they never learned on

earth how to do what they’re gonna do

forever and so I’m telling you I’m about

to teach like like I’m a teacher by

Nature y’all pulled the preacher out of

me like when I start yelling and jumping

and all that other stuff and it may come

out every once in a while but for the

next four to six weeks I’m about to

teach you line upon line precept upon

precept you gonna have a lot of notes so

I need you to get your notepads out

right now get your smart phones your

dumb phones whatever phones you got get

them out right now because if you learn

the revelation in this series it’ll

change your entire life somebody say I’m

gonna worship the king you didn’t even

say it in the bank everybody say I’m

gonna worship the king okay and see most

people think that worship are the two

slow songs at the end of praising

worship no less well let’s go to worship

doesn’t worship is not a tempo worship

is not strings and some of us we’ve

never been taught how to worship or

we’ve watched others platform worship or

we’ve watched leaders worship or some of

us think worship is a time where we just

cry we cry out to the Lord at God

and there’s nothing wrong with crying I

want you to cry with an understanding

though I’m gonna show you this because

I’m a pastor and I’m a teacher and I got

to make sure that you guys get this I

want you to turn with me right now to

proverbs 4 7 and this scripture always

challenges me but I think it’s gonna

help us as I set the foundation for this

entire series

it says wisdom is the principal thing

therefore get wisdom ok so everybody

needs what wisdom ok and in all you’re

getting this depart people miss get and

understand it okay so I never understood

description for like a long time so I’m

gonna break it down so all of us can get

it okay we need to understand there’s

three components right here there’s

knowledge there’s understanding and then

there’s wisdom let me break them down

knowledge knowledge are facts and

information write that down if I have

knowledge I have facts and information

some of you knew it was gonna rain

yesterday because the forecast told us

that it was gonna rain you had the

knowledge it was gonna rain so you had

facts and information understanding on

the other hand okay it’s to perceive the

intended meaning so so you can have

knowledge but there may be an intended

meaning that’s deeper than just the

facts in the information and you need to

get understanding

and then wisdom is applied knowledge

okay wisdom is applied knowledge this is

going to help you in every area of your

life let me give you an example okay

everybody in this room has the knowledge

the information and facts that texting

and driving is bad I’m not gonna ask you

to raise your hands if you did it this

week cuz most of us would be guilty but

text everybody has the information and

knowledge texting and driving that but

if you get in an accident while texting

and driving now you have an

understanding

you have the implied meaning like you

have the knowledge but the knowledge

didn’t keep you from doing it but when

you had that wreck the wreck gave you

understanding and once you get

understanding

you should walk in wisdom so the

knowledge that you had getting an

understanding means you know what i’ma

apply this knowledge that I had texting

and driving is bad let me give you a

personal example okay because somebody’s

like okay passing like knowledge wisdom

understanding let me bring it home for

you

2014 we had just had Bella she was eight

months old and I had the knowledge that

Mother’s Day was a big deal I mean I

knew the facts and the information like

people celebrate Mother’s this is our

first kid my wife just had a baby ain’t

even one yet and I was about to get an

understanding so me and my wife go to

Target her favorite store and and don’t

wolf or Target is bringing a shame and

debt nah but but we go there to get both

of our mothers something the night

before Mother’s Day and we’re walking in

trying to get our last-minute Mother’s

Day gift and she points at this necklace

and she’s like oh this is nice and I was

like yes and so while she wasn’t looking

I went and bought it and I must admit

this was not my best ever this was not

as romantic as I could have been this

one as appreciative but is our first

Mother’s Day and the next day we woke up

and I gave it to her and she looked at

it y’all she cried she was sad she was

hurt she was like and I mean you would

have thought I gave her a disease for

Mother’s Day do you hear what I’m saying

and like she was hurt the rest of the

day was bad the rest of the week was bad

food that was good tasty but it was just

it was a bet and at that moment I got

the implied meaning for mothers that you

better know next the next year I walked

in wisdom you hear me

Mother’s Day was better than Christmas

for her do you hear what I’m saying what

I’m saying is most of us don’t have the

wisdom to worship because we’ve never

understood

good why we sit worship it’s just what

we do at church is what we come in to do

it’s what they do those crazy people who

that’s what they do I’m more reserved

God still knows my heart you don’t have

the wisdom to worship and so I’m gonna

try to give you the understanding and

the knowledge so that by the end of this

series you won’t care who’s sitting next

to you you won’t care what trial you

went through that week you it will make

you know never mind how the enemy tried

to come at your mind

and what you did before you will have

the wisdom to wash and so as we move

through this I just need everybody to

hear me okay what I want you to write

this point down our worship it’s the

only gift that we can give God and I

need to preface this because this is why

worship is so important it is everything

else in our church service and in our

life it’s for us prayer is so we can

talk to God giving is so God can bless

us like like reading the Bible is an

instruction manual so we can know how to

navigate our lives worship is the only

thing that has nothing to do with us and

it’s the only gift you can give God and

so many people Rob God up Rob God every

day of the only thing you could ever

give him and I want this to sit I want

this to go deep into your heart I want

you to understand after all God has done

for us the one thing that we can do for

him we won’t do because we think

somebody might look at us funny you

think because because because people

will judge you and think you’re a weird

I don’t care what you think about me you

weren’t there when I was addicted to

pornography and could not get out of it

by myself I tried a thousand times but

the grace of God stretched out on the

cross and he

did something for me that changed me for

the rest of my life so when I don’t feel

like it I worship God with everything

that I have because it’s the only thing

that I can give to him and most of us

reserved it because we don’t feel like

it do you think he felt like going to

the cross do you think he felt like

being his god turning his back on him

for a second so that he could take the

shame the guilt the pain the frustration

not that we would cause them that I

would cause him it’s my only reasonable

reasonable response to what God has

already done and this is the question

that I opposed this too so we can bring

it back to real terms like what can a

child really give to a father like my

daughter Bella can’t give me anything of

value I’ve given her everything she has

the only thing that she can give me is

gratitude and the only thing that that

she can really do is live a life outside

of my presence that reflects her

relationship with me like let me break

it down even further the only thing we

can do for God is when we’re not at

church because we’ve been with him we

reflect our relationship with him to

other people who don’t know him this is

why I’m telling you worship is so much

more than a song worship is so much more

than the five minutes that we have to

sing the slow song at worship and I want

you to write that point down because

some of you need to know that worship

it’s not a song because many of us has

been trained because of the lack of

teaching that we should just play that

song that makes us feel goosebumps come

on let’s be honest I’m stressed I’m

stressed right now I need to go wash up

put it on I am a child of God

now let me say this very clearly

singing and music are an expression of

worship but it is not worship and there

are many expressions of worship and I’m

teaching you this because many people

who can’t say anything worship more than

you I know deaf people people who are

mute that don’t need a tune to worship

God their life the way they live the way

they treat others that’s why worship has

to be more than a song and if you don’t

hear anything else that I say I need you

to get this because you will stop the

amazing relationship that God wants to

have with you and the gift that you can

give him if you stop it out of song so

Pastor Mike if worship is not a song

what is worship I’m gonna give you the

best definition I could come up with

that we’re gonna work through this

entire series and it’s gonna take me

about three weeks to just break the

definition down so I want you to write

this down it is our anchor scripture

okay

worship is our love expressed to God as

a response to his grace towards us I

know it’s a lot but I need you to write

this down worship it’s our love

expressed to God as a response to his

grace towards us okay I need everybody

to hear hear this so clearly because

this is gonna become crystal clear in

your heart and in your mind over the

next three weeks that’s why you don’t

want to miss a week of this series

because it’s gonna change everything

okay so so tell your neighbor my sermon

title worship starts with love know pick

the other one that you didn’t even like

to look at right now and go ahead and

tell them worship starts with love okay

Matthew chapter 22 verse 37 okay it says

jesus replied you must love

the Lord your God with all your heart

all your soul all your mind and this is

the first and greatest commandment

hallelujah that’s it that’s hard see

people read that all my life and they

say it’s so chipper and so excited and

I’m not gonna love the Lord your God

with all my heart all my saw all my mind

and I’ll be looking at them like yo I

barely can like work out with all my

heart I barely can love my wife well I

barely can eat this ice cream with all

my heart how am I supposed to love God

with all my heart my mind my son how am

I supposed to do that if you’ve ever

asked that question is so beautiful let

me give you the answer you can’t do it

without God you can’t love God with

everything without him and he built it

like that on purpose the entire

Christian walk is a codependent

relationship you depended on God and you

depended on God and I believed that he

put this in here for us to see like yeah

the only thing you got to do like just

remember this one thing is the first

commandment the greatest one love God

with all your heart all your mind all

your soul that’s it oh you can’t do that

okay well I’ll help you I’ll help you

because we can’t worship God if we don’t

love him remember the definition of it

is it’s our love expressed well if

there’s no name there if there’s nothing

there if there’s no love there what am i

expressing and that’s why this message

is worship starts with love and all I’m

gonna do is talk to you about love today

because you can’t worship something you

don’t love and many of us really don’t

love God as much as we think we do

and honestly I’m not talking to you I’m

talking to us because I get checked on

this every time y’all know I can’t

preach nothing that God ain’t working in

my heart about God challenged me

earlier in this month that Michael do

you really love me because your schedule

hasn’t worked me in in a couple weeks

except to prepare for people what about

me

what happens when God asks you what

about me what happens when you pray and

God says before I answer that I miss my

time with you what God I’m just I’m so

busy with the blessings you gave he said

I can take them away if that’s an issue

if it if the blessing I gave you is too

much to steward over and our

relationship we can we can remove all of

the extra issues and bring it back to

where it’s me and you see it didn’t it

weird how we really get into the face of

God when we ain’t got nothing when you

broke down about to lose your marriage

ain’t got enough money to eat all that

other stuff it’s like God I’m here for

you there’s nobody like Jehovah and then

as soon as soon as the upgrades come as

soon as you get in a relationship as

soon as it’s like what what happened and

God says I only can bless you to the the

ability that means you can still stay

connected I need somebody to hear that

because you’ve been asking why why

hasn’t this come is because the little

bit we give to go to the next level we

don’t Stuart over that properly and

God’s like I can’t lose my connection

with you I paid too much for our

relationship I don’t I’m too invested

and that’s why when it comes to this

thing of worship you have to understand

that this is what we do for God we

worship Him and this is a statement that

will change your life cuz it changed

mine worship starts with God’s love for

us not our love for God

so when I said my my title love worship

starts with love it didn’t start with

your love the beautiful thing about this

entire picture that we get to play a

role in his day God’s not looking for us

to worship Him so that it’ll prove to

him that he can now give us blessings

look what the most famous passage in the

Bible says in John 3:16 and I want you

to just say it with me say for God so he

did it first he did it first

for God so loved the world God loved

first that he gave do you see it God

loved and gave like this is why I’m

saying like the only response that I can

give to God is in the shadow of what

he’s already given me like this is the

understanding that you have to have it’s

because if you think that we’re coming

in here for ritual to worship and we’re

we’re supposed to do it every day cuz

Christians worship or we’re supposed to

we’re supposed to live our lives this

way because I’m trying to worship God

you got this whole thing twisted you

could never pay God back for what he did

for you you’ve got this whole thing

messed up and he didn’t say oh when you

worship it’s a down payment on your

salvation or when you worship that’s

brownie points that you get for your

blessing he said I just want you to

worship me because I never created any

other being that had the choice to and

it’s only love when you can choose and

he said the sad thing is there’s so many

people who claim me don’t choose me i’ma

say it again on this side so many people

that claim him don’t choose to worship

Him and as for transformation Church the

reason I’m so passionate about this

subject of worship because we won’t be

called the house of worship and you

can’t find it

we have to be a place that that is not

confined to these walls but wherever you

go you worship you worship God because

of what he already has given to if he

doesn’t give you another thing what he’s

done

oh whoa you’re crazy you should be in a

mental institution right now but for the

grace how do you repay God for after

everything you’ve been through and how

many false promises you made him y’all

know we make them from false promises

God if you give me out it is I promise

lying but he never turned his back on

you matter of fact he kept chasing after

you and so I need you to understand this

statement and it blesses my heart we

don’t worship for love we worship from

love no no no I need you to hear me we

don’t worship for love ever again you

don’t ever come into a worship

experience you don’t ever go to your

quiet time in prayer don’t ever go to

read your Bible and say I’m gonna do

this so God can love me no no no you’re

already loved somebody just say that I’m

loved by God

you don’t some people don’t believe that

but I want you to say it one more time

just say I am loved by God it changes

when you come into his presence with

your addiction and say I’m loved by God

it changes you when he knows what your

website history looks like and how mean

you were to your wife this week and he

still said it says to you you’re my

child and you can say I am loved by God

so so when we look at this if if worship

is love expressed for our gratitude for

the grace that God’s already shown us

worship starts with love I need you to

hear me say this I’m gonna be very

repetitive because I want it to sink

down into your heart worship starts with

love

so if worship starts with love there are

five things I need you to know about

love first one love is given

look what Deuteronomy 36 says 30 verse 6

the Lord your God this is my favorite

right here will change your heart and

the hearts of your descendants so that

you will love him with all your heart

and soul and so you may live

remember that scripts you I’ve raised

you in Matthew 22 it says all you have

to do is love the Lord your God with all

your heart all your soul oh I got the

cheat code for you God’s going to give

you the heart to love him you don’t have

to have it see see this is the beautiful

thing about the grace of God that when

you accept Jesus into your heart he

replaces what was there and gives you

what you didn’t have I want you to look

at this it says the Lord your God will

everybody say change your heart okay

let me help some people understand this

this is your heart before Jesus I need

everybody to look at this burned

tattered messed up cracked hurting this

is your heart and listen I don’t care

how much money you have you can put a

gold chain on this heart you can put

this heart in a big house you can put

this same heart but before you receive

Jesus Christ this is what your heart

looks like but God says any man that be

in Christ he’s a new creation

so most people teach a theology that

when you come to Jesus God will patch up

your hose he’ll make you he’ll make you

good as new that’s not what my Bible

says my Bible says that God gives me a

new heart I need you to hear me say this

because most of you don’t understand

this how am I gonna love God how am I

gonna worship him you can’t with this

heart everything leaks out you can’t

hold anything you’re so offended if

anything touches this heart

remind you of wounds of things that were

there before so God says when you

receive my son

I don’t patch up your heart I give you I

know I like so so I want everybody to

see this cuz I’m gonna help your

theology right now can you still make

mistakes with the new heart yep well I

don’t feel changed baby see the problem

is the love that God wants from you

he first gives to you so this is what

many of our hearts I’m gonna leave this

right here because some of y’all need to

see that’s my heart this represents your

heart because we gotta have love and

that scripture I read to you was in 2nd

Corinthians 5:17 every man that’s in

Christ he becomes a new creature ok so

we got a new heart well pastor why does

it seem like some people love God more

than other people like some people you

mentioned God and they just Oh like like

why does it why does it feel like some

people love God more point number 2 love

grows let me ask all the parents who

have a teenager or an adult child do you

love your child more the same or less

than when they were born you love them

more you may not like them more but you

but you love them more because your love

for them has grown because you’ve had

time with them you’ve had experience

with them you have spent time in their

presence see the reason why some

people’s love for God seems greater than

others it’s all about how much time you

spend with him like and that’s why a lot

of people start at salvation and this is

the new heart God gave you and they died

with this heart cuz they never spent

time with God they were always busy with

the blessings that they had no time for

his face but they they did not see the

value in it but

when you start spending time in the

presence of God God does not just keep

your heart here he allows you to have a

heart that grows and this is why this

cup is frustrating when you’re thirsty

and this cup is a blessing because my

territory grew because I was spending

time with the one who could grow it the

reason that many of you do not have the

love for the people around you is

because you haven’t spent enough time

with God so that he can grow your heart

the reason why you’re always so pissed

that everybody is it’s because you still

have the same heart you had six years

ago when you accepted Jesus because you

won’t spend time in his word you won’t

spend time praying you won’t join a beat

group you won’t get in nothing and so

God said would you please let me upgrade

your cup could I please upgrade your

heart could I please give you more and

see this is the beautiful thing I love

examples because what happens is God

wants to take your heart and that’s why

it’s so important you come to worship

experiences that’s so important why you

come to transformation Church that’s so

why it’s so important that you have a

quiet time every day with just you and

God before all the kids get up yeah

you’re gonna have to sacrifice sleep

yeah you’re gonna have to stop watching

Netflix and chilling yeah you’re gonna

have to do all of that stuff but I

promise you time with God is better than

time on nothing okay and so what happens

is when we come into the presence of God

when they’re singing God says hey I’ll

give you the love he said but I only can

fill up what you have so let me thank

you Lord so if all you have is this I’ll

fill it up well god I don’t okay that’s

enough

and God says some of y’all been filled

but you don’t have enough for what I’ve

called you to do

and so when you come into the presence

of God when you pray when you worship

when you have accountability when you’re

walking with people when you’re loving

your neighbor God said I want to grow

your love so that every time we come in

contact you can get to the point where

you’re filled up and that’s your love

will over flow now let me show it to you

in the word cuz some of y’all just

looking at me and you think I’m doing a

good example okay let’s go to

Philippians 1 9 and this is my prayer

for you and my prayer for every person

in this room I pray that your love will

overflow

more and what kind of what kind of more

and more like overflow okay it’s already

over but it wants you to overflow more

and more and that you will keep on

what’s this word grow everybody say it

again it’s not okay for you to be at the

same point that you started out with God

and it’s been seven years God’s not mad

at you but his prayer for you is that

you would keep in the here’s our two

words again knowledge and what I’m just

I love the Bible

so okay

t-mike my love is overflowing no no no

the reason you gotta learn learn this

min minute God minute God listen to me

the reason why I worship is because when

God overflows in me there’s little

people under me there’s a wife under me

that when I worship God what happens is

they get the runoff you don’t hear me

this is why it’s time for me to start

worshiping this is why it’s not time for

us to just yell at basketball games but

shout out god I Love You God you’re

worthy Oh y’all don’t hear me we have to

become men and women of everybody shout

at me worship but worship starts with

love

and so we all have to grow in our love

for God will pass the mic I do that I

give I pray I read the Bible and let’s

be honest sometimes I don’t feel like

worshiping can we be a hot church for a

second humble open and transparent how

many times okay let me not ask you like

that let me ask it like this has anybody

ever felt like not worshiping okay I’m

not happy I’ll did y’all didn’t do it

this morning okay hey now watch now

watch I’m doing this to help us okay

point number three thing that you need

to know about love love leaks the Bible

tells us in Ephesians I believe it’s six

that the enemy is shooting arrows at all

of us and I believe they’re aimed at our

heart so that the love that is God pours

into us can leak out I had a bad day at

work

my husband’s frustrating me I can’t

stand these kids

I’m never picked I’m still have daddy

issues and wounds and what happens is

God can keep pouring but when he’s

pouring why prayed today and don’t pray

for a week will you have any love left

by the time will you will you be able

when I went to church I went to church I

went to church thank you Lord that was a

good fire that was good but the whole

time our love is leaking and it

literally tells us in the Bible that

these oh oh I told somebody so I passed

up a couple homes but I got into that

relationship

are y’all gonna sit up here act like I

ain’t telling the truth so you can have

an encounter with God where he pours his

loving to you but you can’t worship

because your love is linking way ahead

bankruptcy oh I wasn’t born in the

family I thought I would be loved so you

can come to church all your life and

allow God to touch you but never get to

the point to where you can touch anybody

else cuz you’re you’re leaking you’re

not overflowing you think because it’s

coming out that it’s the same thing you

you’re leaking not over for the word

said I wish that your love would over

flow not leak out because when it leaks

out it has to touch everything that’s in

the cup so as to touch all your

insecurities and all your pain and all

your stuff and that’s why it comes out

in this cord and comes out and hatred

for others and comes out I’m just saying

I’m just telling the truth face and they

nasty and I just think somebody should

be accountable for them and we try to

cover it cuz it’s leaking and there’s no

way you can worship God without love and

there there’s no way you can love God if

all the love has leaked out it may I

submit to you that there are hundreds of

thousands of churches who played songs

today and hundreds of thousands of

people who said they were entering into

worship but God didn’t hear anything

because you can’t worship without love

and the trials of life the frustration

their own sin has allowed love to leak

Church

it’s my prayer that she would have the

wisdom to worship because if you are

like so many of these people and can I

be honest I feel like that all the time

when I look at some of the things when I

focus on the issues in my life and not

God’s goodness when I think about my son

just turned 3 a few days ago and he

still hasn’t said his first word and if

I keep my mind focused on that the enemy

is able to convince me of things that

poke holes in my heart when I think of

how great the world is being impacted by

our ministry but I look at those few

people that have something negative to

say and I magnify I can allow the enemy

to suggest things that poke and then I

can come the audacity for me as a pastor

to come into the house of God and

because they didn’t play my song that’s

a cover up your heart is leaked I don’t

care what song they play it doesn’t

matter if they’re off-key if there’s no

beat if I go to the Catholic Church if

they say God I can find myself in the

building lifting up the name that is

above every name whip the hurt stomach

whip the BG’s let me stop see because we

consult our feelings about is God worthy

of the praise we want we want all the

circumstances to be right before we give

God praise what really happens is our

love is leak down and passing like why

are you talking about because we can’t

worship God without love and this is the

thing I want you to know the fourth

thing I want you to know about love

check this out check this out like love

needs protection like like when God when

you spend time in the presence of God

when you

with God he said I want you to stay in a

protected place

look what 2nd Thessalonians 3:3 says it

says but the Lord is faithful and he

will strengthen you and guard you from

the evil one okay so you’re gonna guard

me how you gonna guard me look what it

says in Psalms 91 because there’s

protection found in the presence of God

see when you stay in that place not

visit it this is what I need to tell you

the place where God is is not at church

on Sunday mornings the place that God is

is wherever you invite him in okay this

is why worship is much more than a song

because you can worship and have no

music I’m gonna talk more about that how

we express it next week but look at this

where are we going to be protected it

says those who live in the shelter of

the Most High another translation says

he that dwells in the secret place of

the Most High will find rest in the

shadows of the Almighty this I declare

about the Lord he alone alone not my

money not my husband not my wife he

alone is my refuge my place of safety

he’s my god and I trust him see this is

what you need to know when you spend

time in the presence of God

it takes your heart and it protects it

so the enemy comes with lies he he tells

you what you can’t do you’ll never be

well why are the arrows see when you

stay in the presence of God this is why

I do not wake up and go anywhere without

spending time in the presence of God

because I can turn on my Instagram and

the enemies their comparison I’m not

enough and it lets my love leak out for

God and I find myself not even wanting

to tell them thank you can we be honest

none of us were guaranteed a breath this

morning God’s goodness but many of us

didn’t return to God the only thing we

could ever give to him it’s because our

love has not been protected but when you

protect what God has given and you don’t

even feel like it the crazy thing about

it is that even in this atmosphere when

God touches me and I touch God what

happens is the enemy sees it I can’t let

them no no no no I got to remind them of

their past I’m gonna send a relationship

over and over steel fool sit still full

transformation Church this is what I

want our church to look like a bunch of

people who spend time in the presence of

God not so that we can get love for God

so that the love he gives us remember

he’s giving it it’s His grace it’s his

mercy we start off with all A’s like in

school it always gets me up when they

say you got to earn a but for some

reason I did better when the teacher

first day told me you haven’t

and then what’s the next thing I said

all you have to do is maintaining when

it comes to worship when you ask Jesus

into your life

he doesn’t ask you to earn his love he

gives it to you and he says all you have

to do is maintain what I’ve been to the

point that no matter what the enemy

comes to do that I can come back and say

oh that’s why I can trust more people

with them because when I pour in love

and I encourage them it’s going to keep

overflow see the crazy thing about is

the enemy can keep attacking but it’s

getting slippery up here because the

love of God is overshadowing everything

else to the point where if I keep on

allowing God’s love to pull into me I’m

known as somebody who gives love away

not just who receives it Church as we

start this series this is just a start

but I felt today that before we moved on

I need to give some people whose loves

the love has leaked an opportunity to

ask God to come and protect them like

like for me before I did this series I

had to ask God for forgiveness God

forgiving me for watching things that I

asked the enemy to punch a hole in my

purity like I I did it like there are

people you hang out with that every time

you’re around them they they literally

cut away at your heart for God but they

be my friends but get down

no here we hear what I’m saying you tell

them what you’re trying to do and they

continue to come after it their

relationships that some of you are in

that you’re claiming and your Facebook

official but it’s literally robbing you

of your heart forgot you used to be so

on fire for God you used to not be

ashamed God could ask you to pray for

somebody and you’d step out and do it

you used to serve and not be scared as

your issues go and get found out you

used to do all of this stuff but

somewhere your love is leaked and today

if you’re in this room and your love has

leaked I want to give you the

opportunity to invite God in why last

point cuz love never fails do you know

why it never fails

cuz god is love like like this is what

you got to understand look at and look

at look at first Corinthians 13 6 it

says love does not delight in evil but

rejoices in the truth that means God

will take you wherever you’re at

whatever you’re going through it said it

always protects it always does this and

it says it always trusts always hopes

and always preserves love never if we’re

gonna have the wisdom to worship we got

to understand that worship starts with

love and maybe you’re in this room and

your love has leaked out if you are the

first people you may be the person that

has that tattered heart like this is

what your heart looks like today God

wants to trade you if you’re in this

room I usually do salvation at another

moment I want to pray for you right now

I don’t want you to go home with this

stop dressing this up

stop trying to make people through

filters and and money feel like this is

not what it really is today if you’re in

this room and you want to accept Jesus

into your heart and get a new heart I

want you to pray this prayer with me and

transformation Church we never pray

alone if you’re watching online we never

pray along I want everybody to bow your

heads and close your eyes and I want to

suppress and only God and you know if

you mean this and if you have been far

from God and you want to come back to

him today is your day everybody in the

room just say God I need you come into

my life and transform me I’m a sinner I

have holes in my heart I need you to

replace it

thank you for living and dying just for

me today I ask you to be the Lord of my

life change me renew me transform me I’m

yours in Jesus name Amen

look at me look at me if you pray that

prayer and you meant it on the count of

three I want you to shoot your hand up

and we want to celebrate with you one

two three if you prayed that prayer Oh

transformation church that’s what it’s

all about

hallelujah you’re watching online and

you click that button we are rejoicing

with you now listen to me I’m gonna do

something we’ve never done before really

because of space but I feel like

people’s faith needs to be moved okay so

I need you to work with me okay if

you’re in this loom and you know you

haven’t been able to worship God because

your love has leaked I want you to do

something that’s gonna take a faith step

I want you to come to this altar I want

you to come right now I don’t care I

don’t don’t worry about your five don’t

worry about nobody else I want you to

come there should be a lot of people

coming right now

Society family we can get all in the

aisles we’ll turn this whole thing into

alternate I’m so proud of you say excuse

me down the aisle if you know you’re

supposed to be up here I need you to get

up here because God is about to protect

somebody in this atmosphere as you come

to the feet of Jesus God we touch you

come on from all over the place

I need you to look at me come on let

them in y’all come close y’all got to

get close there’s a lot of people coming

I need everybody that’s coming to look

at me the reason I asked you to do this

it’s because there’s a faith step that

you needed to take to let yourself know

this is over like like your love leaking

out and the pains and the frustrations

of the past and you inviting stuff in

come on let them keep coming don’t

nobody stop it we’re gonna get in here

and if you still need to come oh there’s

too many people it might be

uncomfortable to get your breakthrough

but you need to come through okay

look at me lick me for the next few

moments we’re about to dismiss in a

second

but the Bible says that the protection

comes in the presence of God I’m not

about to come in here and pray for

everybody

God can touch places in your life that I

could never touch all you need is his

presence and so we’re about to sing a

song that just says I’m coming back to

the heart of worship the heart of it

where it’s all about and says I’m sorry

Lord for the things I’ve made it I made

it about the lights I made it about how

I feel but you know it’s all about you

and I’m gonna pray for you every person

at this altar lift your hands come on if

your love is Lea yeah father I pray

right now I feel the presence of God I

pray right now for other as we have come

and we humble ourselves and we say God

our love is leaking father because the

life situations because I hurt because

of disappointment because of loss today

father God we find our protection in

your presence I come against the lives

of the enemy that have poked holes in

their thought process you are a good

father

and today nothing else will stop our

love from lifting father we are going to

be found in your presence right now can

I thank you for miracles I thank you for

signs I thank you for wonders I thank

you for heart transplants father God

for what you’re doing everybody lift

this up I’m coming back
