You know I have a
We're in this place and I
I much love Jesus though
You know I've a
There's a Scripture that I love because it
It shows me how much God loves me in
Spite of who I am and
We were talking about it today
We were doing a Bible study
And we were talking about it
It's in John -- and it says that God demonstrates
His own love to us that while we were yet sinners
Christ died for us
So that means you guys
He knows everything about you;
He knows everything about me
And He still loves us you know
And He still gave everything for us
And I think it's one of those things where God
Lately in my heart
I'm just like "Lord please I'm tired of myself
I'm tired of so many times trying to build up
The little kingdoms that I have here "
And and it's been a conviction in my heart
Because the thing is it's so easy
Because we live here in this earth
There's a Scripture that says
Set your mind on things above
Not on the things of this earth
Why Because this is not our home
And you see the thing is is that
We are not here at all at all to build our kingdoms
We are here solely for the purpose of
Building the kingdom of God you guys
That's it That's it
And until we let go and release the things
Of this world that that pull so often
Man I just want to you see
He's my King He's my King
And as Him being my King
And me being His servant
Us being His servants
I just want to truly say "Lord I want to do
Whatever You want me to do
Surrender my all unto You "
Guys I I mentioned I look at what is going on
And I was talking about it earlier and
My heart like never before has been urgent
Has been desperate for this generation
You guys there is so many distractions that's going on
And I know because I get caught up in that
And it's funny -- we have so many things
That keep us busy and I laugh because you know
I have an iPhone and I love my iPhone
You know and uh if there is ten
Minutes of dead time
I'm like "Let me see what the next app that
I can maybe download you know
And it's just like whenever we can or
Somebody I can text for a second
And those things aren't bad
It's just that there's a lot of distractions
Almost numbing us to the fact that we
Are in desperate need
In desperate need of a Savior
Because we have filled ourselves up
With so many things here in this earth
There's a generation out there
There are people out there that are hurting;
That are broken
You guys I just
I was writing for this record and I said
"God give me something that You want me to share
I don't want it to be of myself at all "
I was on my face and just weeping
And God would just take back to
The basics of our Christianity
You see how often do we really go out
And we go out and serve people
Whether it be going to the hospital
Or going wherever going to your next door
Neighbor and saying "Can I mow your lawn
Just for free I just want to serve you
Why God loves you "
I mean I'm making little examples here
But the point is is that we're called to reach out
Each and every one of us
Matthew 5 says you are the light of the world
Let your light shine among men that they
May glorify your Father in heaven
And you guys there's so many people that
That maybe speak the truth too
And this song is called "Louder Than Before"
And we all know that actions speak
Louder than words we know that
When you're serving someone when you're
Loving someone showing them Christ
It speaks volumes
There's those who speak truth but there's no love
And no one wants to hear it
And there's those that quote unquote love
But they're afraid to offend someone
So they won't speak the truth
You guys the truth will set you free
And you shall be free indeed
You guys we have been given the gift of eternal life
You see I want to encourage you
But it begins with love
1 Corinthians 13 what does it say
It says "We can speak of the tongue of men
And of angels but have not love it's a
Resounding gong or a clanging symbol
We can even remove mountains
Do all these great things
But if we have not love we're nothing
If I'm on stage here tonight and
I'm not on my face before the Lord
I'm not loving you guys
Shame on me
God's been convicting me I've been on my face
Just saying "Lord I don't want this to be about me at all"
You guys read your Bibles read your Bibles
This is not just our Christian duty
This is the Word of God
Hebrews 4 it says its living and its active
I mean it's doing doing something in our hearts
And I want to encourage you
Before you want to see God do those things through you
'Cause He's gonna use each and every one of you
You don't have to be on stage here
We can pour out to one another and
Reach this nation and all these 18 000 plus people
Here in this city in the surrounding areas
And show the love of Jesus Christ
And serve and speak the truth
You guys things can happen
Our moment is now We have one shot
Surrender all surrender all
Before He can work through You He has to work in You
Fall more in love with Jesus
So you can tell the world
More and more about your Savior and
