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
