Did You Catch The Correction? // Triggered (Part 5) // Michael Todd

Sometimes, in the middle of a crash out, God will send correction our way. Just like a quarterback throws a pass to his receiver, God throws us correction. Will you catch it? In Week 5 of the Triggered Sermon Series, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that God corrects those He loves, and His grace keeps us in the game. We are corrected because we have a calling, which means we must stay in position to receive it. We pray this message helps you recognize God’s correction as an expression of His love and prepares your heart to receive it well.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to Transformation Church podcast, where we represent God to
the lost and found for transformation in Christ. We're so
glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe
God will transform your life. Do today's message today?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
As I approach my assignment, I just want to thank
God for everybody being in the house home, and thank
God for all those who are watching online. I'll even
want to thank God for the men and women that
are joining us right now in hundreds of correctional facilities
all around the world. Can we welcome in, Oh, come
on Transformation Church, our brothers and sisters that are watching
by the Pando app. Hey, can I tell you a

(00:39):
cool stat that this year alone, we have seen over
eighty five hundred people give their life to Jesus that
are incarcerated. Y'all don't know in the shout you free
and still bound they bound? And all right, I just

(01:04):
want you to know that we love you and we
believe in you, and if our ministry is touching you
and blessing your life, we get your letters and I
hope you get our responses back. We are really trying
to go to where people need transformation, and we're grateful
for what God is doing today. Today is week five

(01:26):
of a series we're calling everybody say triggered, and I'm
not letting off of this because this series actually is
a trigger. The series is the series is meant to
make you have a reaction. If you're in a church

(01:47):
or with a preacher or somewhere that don't get no
reaction out of you, you may be in a space
that you are not submitted enough to hear the words,
or something in you is not alive. Today I'm coming
to trigger you with the word of God so that

(02:09):
there is a response or a reaction that actually causes
you to watch this change.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
And so many people were like after.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
The conference, what's the new series? Trigger? Thought you was
going into a fire series? Or no, no, no, the
Holy Spirit has not released me from helping you deal
with your crash outs. You need to put Christ in

(02:42):
the middle of every single one of your crash outs.
Holiday season is upon us, or we could call it
crash out season. So many family issues come up during
this time.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Can I get an amen?

Speaker 2 (03:01):
You? You you really playing? And right now who not
to invite? Come on, y'all, how how to get how
to get around what you already said, we're right now
in the season where traffic and gifts and and children
plays and yeah, children's plays.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I got stuck there.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
My daughter told me this week she's married in in
in a in a play at her school. That means
I gotta remember lines. That means. That means we got
to figure out costumes.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
That that means.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
And I'm saying little stuff, but I don't know what's
going on in your life. But there are things that
we face daily that have the opportunity to trigger us.
And what I found about the things that trigger me,
that get a reaction, that get an impulse response, is
that before I reach I need to everybody say pause.

(04:04):
And this is what we don't do. We don't take
time after we're triggered. We react to something. And this
is what I found, that every trigger is an invitation
by God to transform. It seems simple, but every time
I get triggered, God saying, hey, do you want to

(04:27):
act the way you did the last nineteen types or
do you want to use some of the Bible you've
been reading. Would you like to actually apply some of
the book of notes. You have the journal that you got,
Open a page fourteen and let's see if we can

(04:48):
respond differently than how we respond it last time. The
sad truth is most Christians are good with information, not implementation.
Most believer would rather it be in their notebook or
a screenshop that they can post than a life that
they actually live. And what I'm telling you is, many

(05:10):
times things are allowed to trigger us as an opportunity
for you to prove that God is actually in you.
How do you know that you actually believe what you
believe until you're in a situation where you need to
use it. You talk about peace, but you cannot honestly

(05:35):
stand flat footed and say you have peace until you
have peace in a storm. Peace doesn't even exist outside
of a storm because there's nothing to authenticate the peace,
Oh God. And so I would just like everybody to

(05:57):
examine in your own life, am I actually possessing the
things that I say that I have? Or am I
just being triggered reacting and playing the same scenario over
and over. And Christians have become addicted to cycles. Some
of you are planning your cycle right now of getting

(06:18):
in a relationship with somebody through the holiday season. You'll
be at somebody's house for Thanksgiving and you'll be on
somebody's secret Santa for Christmas, and you'll be joining us
for twenty one days of prayer and fasting single in
January every year. Go to here my heart. Hold on? Wait,

(06:41):
would you step back for a second and see? Hold on?
Is this fool coming into my life right now? Is
this the thing that triggers my insecurity of not being
wanted by a man? And should I before I'd be like,

(07:02):
oh my God, be daddy, you want to take me where?
Before I do that? Before I do that again again?
Let me Paul, everybody say pause, let me step back
and see. It's this an invitation by God to transform

(07:26):
because many of us don't realize it, but each one
of our triggers is attached to a trauma. And until
we deal with the trauma, we actually will never transform.
We will play this over and over and over and
over and over and what again? And today God has

(07:47):
sent me as a coach, as a counselor, as a pastor,
as a divine interruption, to divinely interrupt the cycle that
is about to passive happen again. It's so subtle. Some
of y'all about to go. You just got out of

(08:07):
debt and You're about to go back into it for
children who not even gonna like what you get them anyway. No,
I'm you're about to go back into impressing a family
that does not even want to see you differently. But

(08:28):
again that trigger. Oh, I gotta get Sally a present,
and I gotta go.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I gotta do this, and I gotta show up for this,
and I gotta go to all the balls.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Then I gotta do all You don't even want to
be there, But that trigger has hit the trauma of insecurity,
of when they didn't invite you when you were in
middle school.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
And so because you won't deal with that.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
The cycle starts again. And today is a divine interruption,
because if you do not deal with the situation at
its root level, your unaddressed triggers. Write this down will
usually lead to a crash out. Your unaddressed triggers will

(09:12):
lead to a crash out. And some people are saying, past, Mike,
tell me what a crash out is. I'm gonna put
this big definition back on the screen again, and I
want you to listen to it, and I want you
to think about watch this. Does this apply to me
in any way? How have I crashed out recently? Am
I in the middle of a crash out? Or am
I planning my next crash out right now? A crash

(09:33):
out is when a person can be suddenly uncontrollably angry
and act impulsively. How many people have ever bought something impulsively?
Instagram and TikTok make it so easy, and then you
get the little shop thing and it's already got all
your information in it. Why do I have four of

(09:55):
these little bears that hold my cell phone? Why did I?
It's just so fast. You ordered the shirt, don't even
know if it's right sizes, and you got a shirt
it's two eggs, but it's Chinese size, and so it's
y'all okay, some of y'all know what I'm talking about, Like, yeah,
two eggs and I'm a dis bed made for MJ impulsive?

(10:20):
How many people have decided to do things impulsively? A
crash out is something that happens Watch this almost without
a thought it said, It potentially leads to negative consequences.
This many times shows up as emotional or physical shutdown,
usually from burnout, over stimulation, or being overwhelmed. The act

(10:45):
of surrendering all reasonable control of your emotions and response
in order to react to watch this how you are
currently feeling. How many people can honestly say that sometimes
their feelings lie to them.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I would dare say all the time.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Your feelings are a current indicator of the moment. They
are not a dictator of how you move. And so
right now, the crash out that you're in is because
I felt a certain way. It could be a strong
indicator that these people who are crashing out are struggling

(11:27):
with their mental health and need support. This whole series
is to support you. Your pastor is trying to come
and support you as people have been furloughed and the
government is shut down, as people are trying to figure
out their family drama. As people, I'm trying to help

(11:49):
you right now. This is spiritual support. I want your
mental health to be able to be in good shape
because of spiritual help. This is what we have in Jesus.
But most of us are going to things that didn't
create you to figure out how to help you in
a situation that you don't know how to get out of.

(12:11):
And so today I'm gonna teach you about something that
God likes to do. In the crash out. Now, this
is gonna be a curve ball for most of you.
But what I found out is then when a situation
that when a situation is going bad, wrong, unexpected, God

(12:32):
is not waiting for us to figure out why the
situation happened to us. God many times in the middle
of the crash out corrects you, and most of us
are missing the correction in the middle of the crash out.

(12:56):
Pastor Mike, why are you talking about this because this
is going to repeat if you do not learn the lesson.
I have a prophetic word for you. This is going
to repeat if you do not learn the lesson. Pastor Mike,
can you give me a word. I'm so glad that

(13:17):
you need a word from God. This thing you're dealing
with is going to do what repeat if you do
not learn the lesson. This doesn't seem fair that in
the middle of a situation that is going on that
I cannot understand why it's happening. Why my job is

(13:38):
going like this, Why my relationship is falling apart like this,
Why my kids won't listen, why all of this is happening.
Why in the world would God try to correct me?
Why are you trying to do this ain't fair already, God,
Why are you trying to give me a lesson while
it feels like my life is falling apart. God, I

(14:01):
already don't have enough money. Now you want me to
start a budget. Ah y'all, I'm in the middle of
losing everything, and you want me to write the vision
and make it plain. You want me to put out
this one hundred and twenty two dollars in columns. We

(14:22):
got three columns, Like, God, why are you trying to
correct how? I talk to them? And they started it,
they approached me. This is just not if they would
have stayed over there, if they would have never came
over here.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Don't start no stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Why are you talking about? Why are you talking to
me about forgiveness? God? They actually were the ones who
are disrespectful to me. I'm trying to decide if I'm
gonna stay at this job, and you're telling me them apollot,

(15:10):
You're telling me to apologize. Why are you trying to
correct me in the middle of this crashout?

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Why are you hold on my wife did that.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I didn't do that. My wife did that, And you
want me to take responsibility and step up and lead
our home out of the situation that she Why are
you trying to correct I'm trying to talk about real

(15:49):
situations right now that pastor fumbled me and my gift
and what I brought to the table, and you're telling
me don't stop leading that team and don't spread the
gossip of my feelings in this moment to them and

(16:12):
infect them. Why are you correcting me in the middle
of this moment where I feel justified to have a
response that lines up with the situation that happened to me.

(16:36):
And I've just found out that God is so good
watch this that he doesn't waste anything either we believe
Romans a twenty eight, or we don't. All things work
together for the good. So in a bad situation, God's like,

(16:56):
I'm not wasting this, y'all think about to waste this. Yes,
they started talking about you. Now, I'm gonna use this
to make you more like me. And the problem right
now and why some of y'all look at me right
now like you want to fight me, is because your
transformation will not happen outside of you. You are waiting

(17:20):
for God to change the job, change the husband, change
the friend, change the situation, and God saying I ain't
doing that. I'm starting with you. And the reason why
people become unwavered in their ability to continue to trust
God and they begin to be shaky is because they
want God to do it another way. But what I
found out is that when you come to God, he

(17:42):
never starts with them.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
He always starts with you.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
And I came to tell you for real that in
the middle of the situation that you could crash out
in and feel justified and get applause from your friends,
God said, did you catch the correction? Most people are
missing it. You're missing the whole point of why God

(18:09):
allowed that situation to happen. You. God allowed you to
be able to get kicked out of that school, and
you so disappointed and embarrassed. You ain't even told nobody.
It's been six years and you acting like you got
your degree and it ain't no degree. You won't even
talk about it, you won't even share your testimony because

(18:33):
in the middle of the crashout you did not catch
the correction. The problem is you weren't even supposed to
go to that school anyway. You followed somebody there that
was not God, and so He let that fall through
to teach you something and you ain't even you haven't
even stepped back to examine it. Could I have missed something?

(18:56):
It's God gonna use this. Okay, Today I got a
sh show you two people who were in the middle
of a situation that was a crash out situation, and
how God tried to use the situation and in the
middle of it he tried to correct them. And there
were two different responses to the correction, and how one

(19:17):
of them ended up differently than the other because of
watch how they caught the correction. Simon Peter, y'all remember him,
the one who walked on water, the one who was
so told like what man, man, that revelation that didn't
come from you. I'm gonna build my church on you.

(19:37):
Like Simon Peter. Let me tell you about him. Simon
Peter was a crash out. He had a whole bunch
of situations happened in his walk that was like, man,
we gotta get this dude under control. He is impulsively
moving by his emotions. One of the greatest examples of
this is found in Matthew twenty six, verse fifty, when

(19:57):
Jesus had just finished praying in the garden of simony,
and now Judas had sold Jesus out, and they're coming
now to pick Jesus up so that they can take
him to the cross. Matthew, Chapter twenty six, verse fifty.
This is where we pick up. Jesus replied to the people,
do what you came to do.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Do what you got to do, my friend.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
He's talking to the people who are coming to take
him out, and Jesus replied, do your thing. Man. Then
a man stepped forward to seize Jesus and arrest him.
Once that happened, one of Jesus's companions, Pee Doll, reached
for his sword, drew it out, shank shank, and he

(20:40):
struck the servant of the most high, cutting off his ear.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
I just want you to paint the picture right now.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I don't know who your friends are, but there are
some people that roll with me that if we all
walk in together and your step to me is wrong.
I don't know what they carrying, but but but but
sometimes the reaction comes out faster than the thought. Peter

(21:14):
has just watched Jesus, I need you to get this sweat,
blood cry out in agony. And now people are coming
to take him away, not my dog, not my man's
jac I roll with this man? Who are you?

Speaker 3 (21:35):
And at the moment Peter.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Pulls out his knife and cuts off his hit. Now
watch who goes to a fight to cut off an ear? Okay,
if I'm pulling out my knife, it's like, what am
I to do? Uh? Stab him? Uh? Cut off a finger? No,

(21:58):
let's go for his ear. I think that he was
trying to kill the dude. It just so happened that
he only Peter is about to make a decision that
would alter everything, the plan that was set up so

(22:23):
Jesus could actually go to the cross. It looked unfavorable,
but it says in the Bible that it had to
happen like this. So at the moment that Peter cuts
off my man Malcous's ear, that's his real name, y'all
thought I made that up? Y'all gotta read your Bible.
Malchus he cuts off his ear. Watched the correction in

(22:46):
verse fifty two. He doesn't first speak to the man
with the ear on the ground. He speaks to Simon, Peter,
put your sword back in its place, He corrects them
in the middle of him emotional crash out which he's
kind of justified. For if somebody came against the people

(23:06):
you love, some of y'all be like, you could do whatever.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
You can, call me whatever.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
But if you say anything about my baby, y'all know
how y'all if you say anything about Okay, same type
of energy, Why wouldn't God correct to God coming to
take him? Why wouldn't God correct all of the situation

(23:32):
that's happening. He goes for Simon Peter and he.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Literally says, put it back.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Jesus said to him, for all who draw the sword
will die by the sword. Do you not think that
I'm cold enough to handle this myself? Do you not
think I can call on my father and he will
at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions
of angels. With the legion it's usually six thousand, so
seventy two thousand angels will pull up.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
You don't think if I wanted to change this situation,
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
But the only reason I'm not because if I did,
how then would the scripture be fulfilled that says it
must happen this way? How many situations have happened that
you were trying to figure out an alternate reality or

(24:26):
way that it could do, and God's saying it must
happen this way. So at this moment, Jesus picks up
my man's ear pops it back on, and the only
person that was corrected was Peter. You gonna correct me

(24:51):
in the middle of this crash out.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Let's look at another.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Guy turn into the Old Testament. This goy's name is Saul,
and Saul has a crashout, and first Samuel thirteen, Today,
I just want to help you because God's going to
correct you in some things and most of us don't
know how to handle it. First Samuel, verse thirteen, Chapter thirteen,
verse eight, it says, let me just set a little context.

(25:17):
They're at war. Saul is leading the army. Is supposed
to actually wait for Samuel the prophet to come because
they were going to make a sacrifice and God was
going to bless their victory that they were going to have.
But Saul started getting impatient, and we're going to see
this right here, It says. Then Saul waited for seven
days according to the time set by Samuel, but Samuel

(25:40):
did not come to Gilgal and the people were scattered
from him. So Saul said, you know what, forget this.
The pressure is too much. Bring me to burnt offering
right now. I ain't waiting for nobody and the peace offer.
Bring it to me right now. And he offered the
burnt offering. Now it happened. As soon as he had
finished presenting the burnt offering, then Samuel came and Saul

(26:04):
went out to meet him that he might greet him.
And Samuel said, what have you done? Said Saul, well, okay,
I know, okay, when I saw the people that were
scattering from me, and that you did not come when
you had said that you was gonna be here at
the appointed time, I know you here now, but you
I mean thirteen minutes ago would have been really good,

(26:25):
and that the Philistines gathered to come to mick Mass
to Big Bass. Then I said, the Philistines will now
come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not
made a supplication to the Lord. So who am I
not to make a supplication to the Lord.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
So I thought, since you wasn't here.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I should make the supplication. Therefore I felt compelled. That's
a good churchy word, huh. I felt compelled and offered
the burnt offering. And Samuel said to Saul, you have
done something so foolish. You have done foolishly. You have
not kept the commandment of the Lord, your God, which
he commanded you for now. The Lord would have established

(27:03):
your kingdom over Israel forever. But now, since you made
that rass decision, because you were triggered by everything you saw,
your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for
himself a man after his own heart, and the Lord
has commanded him to be commander over his people. Because

(27:27):
you have not kept what the Lord commanded you. The
crazy thing is, I get it. Sauls under pressure people
coming from the left to right.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
All his people who.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Is down start scattering. And if you telling me this
is the way we gonna get victory.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
And I don't see the prophet.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Nowhere, nobody's is where he at? He ain't there. I'm
gonna just do it myself. Has anybody taken matters and
to your own hands? Before you know, God told you
to wait. Okay, you know God told you don't move
into that apartment. You know God told you not to
date them. You know God told you not to open

(28:13):
the business. Yet, you know God told you wait. But
the situation started speaking to you louder than God, and
so you decided to take matters into your own hands.

(28:33):
He canceled out a legacy that was supposed to still
be experienced to this day because he could not.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Wait in a state where he was triggered.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Samuel comes to correct him, and I just came to
tell everybody whose potential in a situation that seems like
you're justified to make a critical decision while the situation
feels confusing, write this down. Be careful making quick decisions

(29:14):
in the middle of crisis. This is not the season
where you do knee jerk reactions without going to the father.
This is not the season where, oh it makes sense
on paper. The Bible says in Proverbs three five, acknowledge
God in all your ways, and He will direct your path.

(29:36):
Some of you are the director of a movie that
you did not fund. God is supplying everything for this movie,
and you're telling.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Him no, no, no no, but I don't need to do
it your way. This is how I see the movie ending.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
And he said, you have no clue what I'm trying
to do in this thing. You will not let me
direct this thing, and you will not let me guide
you into all truth. And I'm telling you this because
when you're in confusion, you're not seeing clearly. Saul was
confused and he was not seeing clearly. And what God

(30:11):
sends when you're confused is a word before the confusion.
The question is will you remember and listen to the
world when the confusion comes. That's why the word of
the Year at Transformation Church this year is what. So
he's saying, you have to kill the distractions because you're
confused in a season where you should be sure. He's

(30:34):
already told you what he wanted to do. He told
you to stay faithful, he told you to keep giving,
he told you to keep serving, He told you to
stay submitted in that house, and then you got offended. Now,
since you got offended, confusion setsin. Why am I supposed
to listen to somebody who's just gonna say something crazy
to me like that? Am I supposed to stay in

(30:56):
a house where I don't feel like I'm getting fed?
Am I supposed to do this? With all this other stuff?
And God saying, hold on to the word I already
gave you. And Saul doesn't hold on to the word,
so he goes ahead and doesn't heed the correction. Like

(31:17):
many of us, and this is what this is what
it kind of painted a picture in my mind. How
many people like football? Like just just hands? How many?
How many people don't understand football at all? Like just okay,
we love you too, Okay. One thing that most people
understand is that there's a quarterback and there's these little

(31:41):
guys on the end called receivers. And the quarterback's job
is to to throw the ball to the receivers. And
what's the receiver's job class.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Catch the ball?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Mo? Could you be my quarterback for a second? And
and and and Mo, yeah, you're just come come stand
up here for me. You've never seen a hispanic five
to two quarterback, but we have one today. We have
one today. What would end up happening in a in
a football game is the quarterback would be here and
the receiver they would say hut, and I would run

(32:19):
as a receiver and he would throw me the ball. Now,
I don't know if you saw what happened.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I don't somebody saw it.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Hut.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
What what do you what did you say?

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (32:46):
No, no, no, y'all.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
No, I'm I'm a great receiver. I'm a great receiver.
I'm a I'm a great Christian, I receive what the
word says. Are you seeing what's happening right now? I'm
in a position. God give me clarity. Some of y'all

(33:08):
still ain't got it. This is what we do every
Sunday we come. Oh Gloria, God, use me give me
a prophetic word. I'm not doing what. I'm not receiving
the correction that he's throwing my way. When God is

(33:30):
passing you correction. You don't even got your hands up.
How long would I be in the game if every
time God calls a play for me, y'all looking at me.

(33:51):
Get him out the game. Take him out. Get him
out here, little boy twelve years old, them out because
it doesn't make sense to keep running the same play.
It doesn't make sense to keep running the same play.

(34:15):
And you're never in a position to receive doing all
that zigzag and all that praying, all those all night prayers,
all of those supplication, prophesying to yourself, got everything written

(34:36):
down and God saying and every time, if you cannot
receive correction, you are a liability to the Kingdom of God.
I cannot have you on my team if the can't

(35:00):
tell you you said that with the wrong spirit. You
sent that in anger. That was a sarcastic response to
a real issue. And your boss, nor your leader, your husband,
nobody can correct you. Hey man, God keep using me.

(35:31):
Keep I mean, I feel a fresh fire. I'm giving you.
You're giving me direction, and I'm not listening this time.
I'm gonna listen now. I went to conference and oh
my God, faith in the fire shut up in my bones.
I got it. So when you, when you, when you,
when you, when you tell me to do it again,

(35:52):
I'm gonna I'm gonna listen. You want me to go
five and then in okay, cool, I was supposed to.
I was supposed to go the other way, that was

(36:13):
five and out, But I like it out here. But
this is where people see me at This is where
I get recognized. You wanted me to go five and
into my prayer closet, but I wanted to go five
and outside for people to see me. I wanted to
be And how many times have we not caught the correction? See?

(36:44):
Because anytime you actually catch the correction in correction, God's
trying to do something to shape our character. So when
he's correcting us, he's shaping our character. When we catch correction.
I'm trying to tell you why you should catch it.
Then God is trying to do something for our confidence. See.

(37:06):
The more I get character like Christ, the more confident
I am that hold on when he calls me to
a war, even if I have opposition. We've run this
play before. It don't matter who's standing in front of me.
They don't know the play. They don't know what God's
called me to do. So I'm confident that God will
see me through this. See when I catch correction, it

(37:27):
makes me Christ like. I've become more like the one
throwing me the ball. We have the same mind. Let
this mind be in you, which is also in Christ, Jesus.
When a quarterback and a receiver get on the same plane,
I don't even have to understand what he's up against.
If he just goes like this, I already know because

(37:48):
we have the same And the only reason that there
is a correction is because you have a calling. And
how many believers every Sunday, every Monday, every Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
God use me, God, use me, God, use me.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Man. Why won't you throw the ball better? God? Why
wouldn't you put me in a better situation? God? Why
was I born into this family. God, why wouldn't you
put me in Dallas or Atlanta or La Why would
you put me here? And because I can't catch calling,

(38:34):
because I can't catch correction, I start complaining to the
one who threw the ball.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
God, if you would do it like I told you to.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
God, if you would give me my wife, I wouldn't
be out here sleeping with everybody. If you would give
me a job where I could actually provide, I would
stop pushing that word, I would stop lying, I would
stop stealing food stamps.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
If you would actually provide for me.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Amen. And some people have the nerve to be upset
with God because the entire time he's been letting you
stay in the game by your own credentials, you should
be out because you judge the other receivers when they

(39:31):
don't catch the ball like you would. He said, I'm
letting you stay in the game, and you steal. You
still won't hear the correction. And this is what happens
to all believers. And I'm telling you today point one
of this, were almost done. Catch the correction. You have

(39:55):
to be a receiver of correction. God's gonna correct you
in the middle of a crash out. It's gonna be
when you are already stressed about money, that God's gonna
say you need to start tithing. Y'all saw how there
was no Amen's right there because He's going to use
the moment of a crash out. He said, I can't

(40:17):
rebuke the devourer. I already told you in my word.
The people who honor me with their wealth, that's who
I protect their finances. You want me to change and
let you hit the lottery and do all this other stuff.
But right now, why you still need a miracle. I'm
gonna correct you. Your money will never be right. It
doesn't matter how many zeros you put in the account.

(40:38):
You have too much wisdom to keep disobeying me. Well, God,
I'll make it up at the end of the year.
And he said that means you don't trust me daily.
So you need your money to be able to make
rent now And God saying with that twenty.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Five dollars cents belongs to me, He's gonna correct you
in the middle of the crush now.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
And right now, some of y'all are in this exact situation,
and God's saying, hut, and you like, ah, that must
be for somebody else. He can't be talking about me.
Catch the correction. You've been married to that man for

(41:31):
years and all you do is tear him down every
time he messes up. But the Bible tells us that
the faith of a woman can change a household. Right, Well,
I'm just telling it how it is.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
I'm just telling you how it is.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
And God said, yeah, he messed up again. Speak life over,
tell him who you see. So seeds of encouragement, No
corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, only that which
is edifying to the hearer. If you gotta walk around

(42:08):
me and God saying I know he messed up. I
know he did it. But I'm about to run another
play for you, and I'm gonna correct you in the
middle of this.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
And we're standing out here.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Oh Lord, I can't stand your rome. It's been twenty years.
He ain't gonna change, neither are you. Would you catch.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
The correction.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Proverbs three twelve. This is why you got to catch
the correction, and you have to have the right perception
on it. For the Lord corrects those he loves, just
as a father corrects the child in whom he delights.

(43:09):
The Lord says, I love you too much to have
you keep running the wrong route, So I need you
to catch this correction. When I was on the football team,
I could tell the people who was gonna play in
the game during on the weekend and who wasn't by
who the coach corrected. There were certain people on the

(43:31):
team that when they messed up, the coach didn't say nothing.
The reason he didn't say nothing to them because they
wasn't gonna play. Do you understand what I'm saying? But
it would be like the coach's son and the star
players like, hey, listen to me. When you do this,
go that way. You don't see the defense, And oh,
Bobo over here and he's like playing with flowers, drawing

(43:56):
stuff in the grass. Coach don't even care because the
investment of correction is proof of a future. The reason
God create corrects us is because he sees how he
wants to use us in the future. Stop sleeping with them,

(44:21):
Stop because I see in the future you are having
to explain that soul tie to the person I've created
you for. And you don't know why you're being pulled
at to stop because I see your future. Stop giving

(44:41):
that money to that family member who's just abusing it.
Stop because you're enabling them to continue in the destruction.
Your love should say no, okay, let me stop. But
that's my baby and he's manipulating you. You have funded

(45:03):
his foolishness in the name of love. Stop in the
name of love. Who said that? Wasn't that a uh
Diana Ross? Stop in name okay and let me help you,

(45:25):
because some of y'all are like, yeah, if God corrects me,
If God corrects me, I will catch his correction. God.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
I'll just promise you right.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Now, whenever you throw correction my way, I'm catching it.
He's gonna use a person, an actual human, to provide
the correction. Can can you catch the correction if it
comes to a different vessel. God sent Samuel to correct Saul,

(45:59):
and he couldn't catch the correction. Tell you a true story,
Pastor Will the one that was up here doing all
of our announcements and leading us, our associate campus pastor,
it was about four years ago that we were at
Incredible Pizza and we were there for I think Ava's

(46:21):
birthday or MJ's birthday. We're there for MJ's birthday, and
the Holy Spirit told me that will had a huge
future in our church, but there was one thing holding
him back, and it was his fork. Will was three
hundred and fifty one pounds and was killing himself with

(46:50):
fast food in a fork. And so because I saw
his future, I saw what was in him. I saw
his loyalty and his ability to connect with people in
his study in the world. I saw him, and God said,
You're gonna have to be his pastor right now and
go correct him. This was a defining moment for our

(47:12):
relationship because I didn't know how he was gonna take this.
And right there in the hall of Incredible Pizza, I told, well,
hey man, you gotta lose weight. And right now some
of y'all are offended. And I didn't even say it
to you. You can feel the tension in the room

(47:34):
right now, because what does my spiritual life have to
do with my weights? You get one temple of the
Holy Spirit. And this was just something that I knew
was specific to him. I didn't give a prophetic word
to everybody. I wanted to talk to somebody who said
they were submitted to my leadership, and I corrected him,

(47:58):
and I said, Will, I said, I'm gonna help you
get started, and I said, I got kids, don't waste
my money. Said I'm gonna give you thirty days and
I'm gonna pay for it. And what you do after
that is on you. You know what Will did.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I corrected him. He caught it, and that boy ran.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Hold on. He took what I gave him in correction
and turned it into a testimony. How much what have
you lost? One hundred and forty one pounds? He about
to run in a high rocks and is about to
Kayley got a new husband. Most of you would have

(48:51):
left the church right now. You He knew it was
a problem before I corrected it. It's crazy that the
stuff we know, when somebody calls it out. Now I
have the.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Opportunity to be offended.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
But when I corrected him, it's because I saw his calling.
When I corrected it is because I knew he wanted
to be like Christ. I needed him to have confidence,
and I wanted to help him build his character. And
what I'm telling you is, if Christ sends anybody to
correct you in the middle of a crash out, catch it.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
All I came to say is it.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Will come at the most inopportune time. You're gonna be
in the middle of the thing, and God's gonna be like, hey,
put your hands up, because I'm about to throw you
some correction. Even why you have opposition, and the only
thing that allows you to really catch correction is when

(50:03):
you have these gloves right here on the back of them.
They got a word on him that the church is
not used to humility. If your hands and heart don't
have humility, you won't catch correction. That's why the Bible
tells us to actually be more humble than we are

(50:26):
anything else. Let me tell you, I can't you, Oh,
I can't grow hands of humility one Peter five to six.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so
that at the proper time He may exalt you. The

(50:49):
reason why God's correcting you is because he loves you.
And if you put on humility, correction listen without love
creates rebellion, not repentance. The reason I need to tell
you God loves you is because he's correcting you. He's
telling you stop comparing yourself to them, your cut stop

(51:11):
following them. That's a smart correction. What God, why am
I from? I mean, they ain't doing nothing to me
because every time you see them, you compare yourself to them.
And what I'm trying to do is change in you
the ability to not see them and think something's wrong
with you. I want you to become content, and right
now you're comparing, so obey me and unfollow them. But God,

(51:37):
they give me creative juices. No, they give you comparison
and anxiety, and they give you a reason to not
do what I've called you to do, because four thousand
people like it when they do it, and four like
it when you do it. Stop and when he comes
to correct, because you've taken off humility and you're putting down,

(52:02):
put down your hands, and you're like, God, you know what,
I'm gonna do it my own way. Run the play.
You're almost proud now that you're doing it your own way.
All I'm telling you right now Jesus, yeah, Jesus, yes, Sus.

(52:36):
I love our church. Catch the correction, all right. Once
you catch the correction, comply with the command. If God
tells you to go five and in, just do it. Well,

(52:56):
I don't know why I gotta do it. You don't
have to know why you gotta do it. You do
not have to understand to obey it takes faith to
follow Christ's command. When you feel something contrary, Just do
what God tells you to do. Now, you don't go nowhere, heyeseus,
you stay right there. Okay, God, you want me to

(53:20):
forgive Yes, it doesn't make sense, doesn't matter. Comply, comply
with the command that God gave you. The reason why
Saul cancels out the legacy of his children's children's children
is because he would not watch. This is another word
for comply. He would not obey. And when you don't obey,

(53:43):
you're always forfeiting something that God wanted to do. And
that's when you start complaining and you stop complying.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
And this is where I got to read.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
You just a little more scripture first Samuel, chapter fifteen,
verse ten. This is where the title of this in
the Bible is the Lord rejects Saul. Then the Lord
said to Samuel, I am sorry that I ever made
Saul king, for he has not been loyal to me
and has refused to obey my command. Samuel was so

(54:15):
deeply moved when he heard this that he cried out
to the Lord all night dropped down the verse twenty.
He's confronting Saul now and this is Saul's excuse. But
I did obey the Lord. Saul insisted, I carried out
the mission he gave. I brought back king a gag
when I destroyed everyone else. Then my troops brought the

(54:36):
best sheep and goats and cattle and plunder to sacrifice
to the Lord, your God at Gilgal. But Samuel replied,
listen to this. What is more pleasing to the Lord?
Your burnt offerings and sacrifice or your obedience to his voice?
Does God like you putting a spectacle on that I

(54:56):
obeyed God or actually obeying him? Listen, Obedience is better
than any sacrifice you can make, and submission is better
than any offering of a fat realm. Rebellion watch this.
This is strong Bible, y'all. Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft.

(55:22):
Some of y'all scared a Halloween and he said, you
disobey me. You are a witch. You are moving in
witchcraft because you won't obey me. Oh God, they don't
want the Bible and stubborness as bad as worshiping idols.
So because you have rejected the command of the Lord,

(55:44):
he has rejected you as king. Write this down. Disobedience
doesn't look demonic, but is the invitation to your destruction?
You think, well, I just didn't do that one thing
God told me. You don't understand that that one thing
was the thing to lead to the thing that was

(56:05):
going to be the thing that does the thing you've
been praying the thing will do. What are you saying,
pastor Mike, You have no idea what's on the other
side of your obedience. In the same token, you have
no idea what's on the other side of your disobedience.

(56:26):
Jesus compares the disobedience to idle worship in witchcraft. So
the next time God says, hey, go talk to them
and share my love with them. I know you're busy,
and I know you're on your way to the movie
and you're gonna miss but I need you to go
tell them that I love them and pay for ten

(56:47):
dollars a gas for them. And the next time you
get in your car and act like that's nothing, he said,
you might as well worship the idol and participated in
a witchcraft ceremony. I want you to. We don't think
about it like that. We said, Ah, I didn't have

(57:09):
the time, I said, oh man, I promised my kids,
and he's like eternities in the balance, and you won't
obey me. I've been telling you for years to start
that LLC. You have no idea what resources I have
available for you to change the community that you're in,

(57:31):
But you just won't obey me. You won't o pay
me to tell that person that you're gonna work with
them for free. I know what you put on your
flyer and how much you charged, but I told you
you were supposed to sow into them. Why won't you,
oh pay me? I've told you to enroll in that school. Well, god,

(57:52):
I'm this old or I don't got them. Why won't
you just do what I asked you? And I found
that when God comes with the correction, most time our
hands are down, our hearts aren't open, and we won't

(58:13):
catch the correction. Peter, though catches the correction, cuts off
the ear. Jesus says, put your knife up. He's They
didn't take his knife, so he still has the same
opportunity to do the same thing again. If it was

(58:37):
some of the people that I run with, they would
have cut off one ear. Then would have went to
the homeboys start trying to cut his ear off they
would have. We don't hear about Peter putting up any
fight in that moment. Again he falls back. Why not

(59:00):
because the situation changed. He falls back at the command,
at the word of his savior. He obeyed. This is
why Peter gets used again and messes up one's wrong

(59:22):
route again. I'll never deny you. Before the lor rooster
crows three times, but he was still in the game.
He was still in the game because he could catch correct.

(59:46):
Have you been benched? Are you on your way out
of the game? God called you too? Because you won't
catch correction. Last thing I'm gonna tell you when you
find yourself in there, you gotta catch correction first, and
then every time you catch correction, you gotta comply with
the command. Last thing, you got to choose to continue

(01:00:08):
after the confrontation. This is where most people leave the church,
leave the marriage, leave the friendship. You'll cut off game
so strong at the time that there's a confrontation, then
you leave. What if Peter would have been like, never mind,
forget it, I'm domb following you because you didn't have

(01:00:28):
to call me out like that in front of you
everry body. While you do it like that, though you
didn't have my back, and Jesus like, because you caught
the correction, you fell back and you still stayed.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
I'm gonna use you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
I'm gonna turn all of this into something that can
be put in eternity, because correction is a divine tool
by God, not a human insult, and most of us
think correction is something that God's trying to insult us
with the greatest moments of my growth has been when

(01:01:13):
God has corrected me and told me, watch this might
change course.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
You were going this way, go this way, and even.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
Sometimes when God calls the play, you're gonna miss. But
were your hands even up to receive the correction. I
promise you that when God calls this next play for me,
I don't know what's gonna happen, but my hands are
gonna be ready to receive the correction. And listen. It

(01:01:46):
doesn't matter who collapse. We just advanced. It doesn't matter who.
Every time you catch a ball in the opposing players stadium,
they boom. If I listen to the environment and the
atmosphere to get the chew. If I did a good job,

(01:02:10):
it's when I look at the quarterback and he's nodding
at me, and he comes to the place we advanced,
and then he runs another play and it doesn't make
a difference. I might have missed it. Okay, we get
another chance. That's where grace and mercy came in. But
I had an opportunity because of what Jesus did to
catch another ball, get tackled, get down. Listen. What I'm

(01:02:35):
telling you right now, Church, is if you're open to
correction in the middle of crash out, God will use
you in a way that you'd never imagine. Church. I
don't want to make you hype. I want you to

(01:02:58):
walk in humility. I can't tell you how much in
this last season God has corrected me when it felt unfair,
when it felt like I have every right to feel
this way, God said, call them, call them, call them,

(01:03:21):
y'all know them. This doesn't feel fair. I don't want
it to feel fair. I wanted to create faith, and
today my assignment was very simple. Catch the correction. I

(01:03:42):
don't care how old you are, I don't care how
long you've walked with God. Until you go and meet
with Him in heaven. He's going to be trying to
refine you and make you more like him catch.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
The correction. Standing all over this place, I went.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
And looked at what happened after Jesus dies and after
the disciples are trying to figure out how to take
the Gospel forward. I found this little scripture in Acts
three nineteen. That's Peter talking. Because when God throws correction
your way, you have two options. You can either repent

(01:04:29):
or rebel. That's it. You can either do what he's
saying and turn.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
That's all. Repent means, turn the.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Direction he tells you to, or you can rebel and
go the direction that you want to.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
Acts three nineteen.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
This is the same guy who caught correction. In this moment,
he's saying to everybody, repent. That means turn and turn
to God so that your sins may be wiped out.
The times of refreshing may come from the Lord when

(01:05:06):
you repent and catch correction. The end result of that
is times of refreshing. How beautiful is it that God's saying, Golly,
they finally got it, They finally obeyed me. They actually
caught what I was trying to give them. I don't
have to run that same play again. I don't have

(01:05:28):
to keep taking them through that same cycle. They caught it.
It didn't feel good. It was frustrating. He had to
use my mom to do it. He had to use
my boss to do it. He had to use my
coworker to do it. He had to use opposition to
do it. But I caught the correction. You were You've
been trying to tell me for fifteen years. I talked

(01:05:49):
too much. Caught it. That's what it was. You were
trying to tell me to stop responding out of my
emotions and my childhood trauma. Caught it. Oh, you was
trying to tell me that I'm valuable without being associated
with them. Caught it. Oh, I'm actually chosen by you,

(01:06:17):
even when I'm not producing. Caught some of y'all working
five and six jobs and steal the ends. Ain't meeting,
and he told you just work those two your children
need you. Well, God, how is this gonna They won't
catch the correction? Let those three jobs go work the two.

(01:06:38):
I'm gonna give them a promotion. I'm gonna get this thing,
but they will today. Catch Will you be a receiver?
Open up your hands, Come on, open up your hands.
This is the only way you can receive anything. Hands down.

(01:07:00):
You can't receive anything now at this point, if you
looking at me, test you ready for this ball? Look
at her? See her hands is open. I can throw
this ball anywhere in this arena. Who own it? I
get through?

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa?

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Who want it's? Did you see hands went up in
the direction that I was looking you all ready? Because
you never know somebody's standing on their chair. There's a
there's expectation.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
When you know who holds the ball.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
I would never throw this ball to hurt you. I
would never throw this ball to hurts you. It's my
love for you. Catch hands up at the at the sign.
At the sign. So many people won't respond when God's saying, hey,

(01:08:07):
catch this God, I'm too old to go through that.
You've just never caught it before. Catch this correction. I
got something for you that's better and bigger than what
you what you catch this correct. The way you're talking
to your kids.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
Is not like me.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Just because you got talked to like that, I'm trying
to Yes, they disobeyed, but they did not deserve that
language and that attitude. Catch the correction. But I'm supposed
to train them. You are training them. Okay, they're gonna
do the same thing you did to your grand babies

(01:08:52):
because you wouldn't submit. Catch you ready, big dog? Catch
the look at she said, me? You? You, me who catch?

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
And so many times in this moment somebody you called it?

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Okay. Now look, five people went for the same correction,
did you Did you see in that moment they were
all reaching for because with understanding, when you know it's

(01:09:40):
his love, when God corrects me, when I know it's
his love, y'all ready, hands up, y'all. Look that whole section,
that one that that that lady's got so big. She said,
please don't throw it at me, passing, Please don't throw
it at me. What would happen if the whole church

(01:10:09):
was ready? What would happen? I know I'm taking a second,
but I just need you to see what would happen?
What would happen if you were ready? A nobody's caught
it yet, but they tried, not one time.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
This is why grace and mercy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
This is why we serve God. It's because I may
miss it. I may miss it, But the truth of
the matter is I haven't thrown one ball of correction.
Oh I may miss it, but I haven't thrown one

(01:10:58):
ball of correction. Hey, listen, gyuess who else re choices
when you obey Heaven? Yes? Who else rechoices when you
do the will of your father Heaven? I saw a

(01:11:18):
whole section's hands go up because they were willing to
catch correct. When your boss comes and tells you you
could be on time.

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
Uh oh, it just got real.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
When your person tells your attitude has been off this week,
don't automatically get offendi? Could that be the tool? When
your husband's saying, hey, it just doesn't feel like you're
communicating with me. What you mean you ain't. Ain't you
gonna mean me? Oh? No, no, no no? Catch hands lifted. God.

(01:12:12):
Today we need your help. Father.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
There's so much that is going.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
On, and there's so much we don't understand, and sometimes
it feels overwhelming that in the middle of our situation
and circumstance, you would still require us to catch correction. Father,
whether it's in our attitude and our conduct and our character.

(01:12:44):
Thank you for the grace that still keeps us in
the game, that allows us to have another opportunity to
try to catch the things you're trying to teach us.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
Your word says.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
You only correct those who you love. So today we
thank you for your love that sees us and a
better version than we are right now. Today we receive
your love. Ah, I receive your correction. Thank you that today,
Father God, that we won't be overwhelmed. You are the

(01:13:21):
only one who gives us the opportunity to turn right now.
And Father, for some of us who have been running
the wrong route for years, today we repent and we
come to you and we're asking you, what's the play?

(01:13:42):
What do you want me to run in this next season?
Who do you want me to play on the team
within this next season? What route am I supposed to
take for my career, for my children, for my marriage,
for my relationship? Father, how do you want me to communicate? Today? Father, God,
I'm letting you call the play, and whatever you say,
I will obey. And Father, even if it's hard to

(01:14:09):
receive it, I will not be stubborn or prideful in humility.
I will catch the correction in the middle of the
crash out. If you're in this room right now, and
you know that there have been situations where you have

(01:14:34):
purposely fumbled the season that God has called you in,
and today you're saying, God, I want to repent.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
I need you to lift your hands. I want to
pray for you right now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Yep, Okay, this is this is this is intentionally saying God,
I need you to come help me with this. Father,
you see the hands that are in this room and
that are lifted online all over the world today. I
thank you that the one thing that you cannot refuse

(01:15:05):
is a contrite spirit. A broken heart and a contrite spirit.
We are saying right now, we missed it God, and
we are turning to you. We're turning away from our ideas.
We are saying, not my will, but yours be done.
Give us direction, will run the place. Father. I'm thanking

(01:15:26):
you for supernatural rebuilding of things that we broke. Thank you,
Father that you can restore the years that are disobedience
has stolen. I thank you for mending relationships. I feel
your presence God. How thank you Father, God for canceling

(01:15:50):
out even the debt monetarily, emotionally that has been created
because we've been running the wrong play. Today, God, we
repent and we'll catch the correction. Sure. Yeah, thank you Lord,

(01:16:20):
that we won't be hard headed anymore, stubborn defiant if
you said it we believe it. And if you have
to correct us, it's not because you hate us. It's
because you see our future. Thank you, Lord that you

(01:16:41):
have plans for us, plans to prosper us and not
to harm us, to give us a hope and the future.
Thank you that relationships and marriages will be mended because
we won't look at each other's correction as an indictment.
I thank you that correction from my spouse is just

(01:17:04):
another love letter from God. Let me see them and
where you see them. God, I'll no longer have a
fence for the messenger, but God, I will receive your message.

(01:17:28):
God's doing surgery on people's hearts right now, y'all. He's
gonna start revealing to us areas that he is. Like, Yeah,
catch this correction. I want to be altered here at
the ault. God, you're gonna have to cut something off.

(01:17:54):
It's not gonna be an ear, but it might be
an attitude. I want to be all here at the ad.

Speaker 5 (01:18:06):
Creating me a clean hut. Take me back to this.
Here's my offering.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
It's me. I wanna be all here at the creating me,
create clean. Take me back to here I am. Here's
my it's me, just one more time. That's our prayer

(01:18:45):
creating and take me best. Here's my offering. Here, it's
me God, I want to be. If you've never received Jesus,
listen to me. This is the only way you'll even

(01:19:09):
catch the correction is you have to trust the one
who's thrown the past. He's already taken care of your eternity.
Let him actually help you live this life. It's the
reason he came, according to John, that you have life
and life to the fool. So today, if you want

(01:19:30):
to receive Jesus, I'm telling you, it's the greatest decision
you could ever make. It took me from being a liar, manipulator,
addicted to pornography, had so much dark stuff in my heart,
and it allowed me to see Him as the one
who knows the direction for my life. I can't keep
following them and think that I'm going to get to
where God's called me to be. I need to go
back to the creator and the designer, and today he

(01:19:53):
wants a personal.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
Relationship with you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
We're about to go home. But I didn't preach this
whole message that somebody could go and not have the
opportunity to have their life completely transformed by meeting Jesus.

Speaker 3 (01:20:09):
Today.

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
If that's you, on account of three, I just want
you to slip your hand up. And if it's for
one person, everything that has ever been done to get
us to this moment was all worth it, and all
of Heaven will begin to rejoice because of one person
that gave their life to Christ. That's how much he
loves you. If you want to receive Jesus, whether you

(01:20:32):
are in this room or watching online in your home
right now rebroadcast in a jail cell, today is the
day of salvation, and you've been going the wrong way
and it's time for you to catch this correction or
catch this compassion, because his correction is his compassion, and

(01:20:53):
it's moved him so much that before you even said
yes to him, he said yes to you. If that's you,
you know today is the day of salvation. I need
the church to begin to start praying because eternity is
in the.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Balance right now.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
Today you are going to be transformed forever. Number one,
This is God's day of your transformation. Number two, your
name is gonna be written in the Lamb's Book of Life,
and your security is in heaven and in Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Three.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
If you want to receive Jesus, lift your hand up
in the air. I see you, my brother, I see you,
my sister. I see the whole road right there. I
see you, my man. I see you. Come on, y'all,
I see you, my brother, all the way up. Transformation
in church, this is what we celebrate. Put your hands
up in the chat glory to God. Hey listen, hey, listen,

(01:21:47):
you just caught it. Salvation is a free gift that
you have to receive. Hands lifted all over this place.
We're going home. But this is the best part of
the service because Heaven's turning up right now and we
are too. This is the benefit of every believer.

Speaker 3 (01:22:08):
That you don't have to worry no more.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
You just have to receive and obey. A transformation church
where a family, everybody prais, nobody prays alone. So say God,
thank you for sending Jesus just for me today.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
I admit I've sinned and I need a savior.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
I repent and I turn to you. I believe you live.
I believe you died and you rose again with all
power so that I could live in freedom. Change me,
renew me, transform me. I'm yours forever in Jesus' naves. Amen, Hey,

(01:22:54):

We want to say welcome to the family. And if
