Sabbath July 1/23
It's a good thing to be called a child of the most high God.
It's a blessed privilege. To be called by the name of the king of kings.
That's actually what we have been journeying through here at Bethesda. We've been journey through this series that we have been titled, royalty in training, royalty and trendy. We are Indian royalty just by virtue of being Children of the most high God. But we know that there are some things that God is maturing in us and growing in us as we start as we learn how to manage and navigate the Dominion that we have been given as we continue to journey through this, I want to just dive right into the word together with you. So I'm going to ask that you just stand to your feet. And all of the word of God will turn again to Luke Chapter 5, and I'm going to race through it in your hearing. Again, that's Luke Chapter 5 will begin verse one. We're going to read all the way down, 2 verse 11. That's a Luke chapter 5. I will read to get, I'll read in the English Standard Version. You can follow along with a person that's on the screen or whatever version you have.
When you're there, let me hear you say Glory. All right, if you're on your way, say I'm moving faster. I hear you. Somebody's moving, we can wait for you to give you one more minute. Luke chapter 5.
Beginning verse one. And then we will.
Then we will read together.
Are the Bible says in my version. The Bible says that on one occasion. When the crowd was pressing in on him, to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Janessa Rhett. He saw two boats by the lake but the fishermen have gone out of them and were washing their Nets. Getting into one of the boats which was Simon's. He asked him to put out a little from the land and he saw it and talk to people from the boat. And when he had finished speaking, he said the Simon put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. Simon answered him and said Master, we toiled all night long and took nothing but at your word I will let down the Nets. And when they had done this, then close the large number of fifth fish and their Nets were breaking. They signal to their Partners in the other boat to come and help them and they came and filled both boats so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw he fell down at Jesus's knees saying depart from me for I am a sinful man. Oh Lord for he and all who are with him, were astonished at the catch. A fish that they had taken. And so also were James and John the sons of Zebedee for partners with Simon. And Jesus said, to Simon do not be afraid. From now on you will be catching men. And when they brought their boats land, they left everything and followed him. Today's we continue in the series, I want to speak to you briefly under the subject, the transformation toolbox. The transformation toolbox, pray with me. If you would have only father God, we are grateful to be in your house. Today. We're grateful that you have called us by your name and indeed made us royalty. We are adopted Sons and Daughters of the most high God as soon as we gather together, just to hear a little bit of a word from you, I'm asking a guy that you would send your spirit and copious measure pro, God, that you would fill this place so heavily and so fully that we would leave here, oh God, not the same as when we came in but transformed by your presence. I'm asking that you would allow me in these few moments to join my feebleness to your Divine strength that you would hide me behind the cross. And then every mistake will be mine and then every correction will be yours by the Holy Spirit. God speak to us open our hearts even. We pray this in the 19 aim of Jesus everybody who believe say amen. And amen. You may be seated in the house of the Lord.
The transformation toolbox. Transformation toolbox. When I was growing up, I used to watch a show on TV that you may have heard of you might have recognized it. It's called The Extreme Makeover. Group of people are Construction Group that they would come in and they were identified needy families and needy individuals, and they would come in and, and identify their needs for home until they would come in and they would not just come in and see what they could do to redecorate the place where they would actually take the family and pay for a vacation over the course of about a week or two weeks. And they would go off to the Bahamas and go off to Trinidad and Tobago where they went. And in that time, they would come in and they would just demolish the house. This is my favorite part of the show that would come in and they would bring out that Sledgehammer. They were Break Down The Walls that were destroyed the cabinet's, they would get the kitchen, never move. Everything that was in the house. In fact, that we can sometimes bring a crane and it would take that big old Wrecking Ball and just demolish, every aspect of the house, so that nothing was left. But the foundation As watching this for the show is so incredible to think that they're going to come in and redo everything. But first they are knocked down everything that's there. Sometimes they have some decent houses, no wasn't the best but you changed out the carpet. Maybe they could have just changed out the style of the cabinets you know. Maybe I could have just read a little lost on top of something but they just went in there to record everything. I realized as I'm watching the show, I realize that there is a real difference between sometimes what we want, and what we actually need, CC, the family. Mama just wanted to just stay away for just a day or two, while they repainted the cabinets and stay away for a day or two while they just make sure that the carpets were changed. Everything was fresh but but that designers knew that there was something that had to completely redone about this place. That's what it was sent off for weeks at a time and just demolished the entire structure. And by the time they got back, they will reveal this transformed home but they get to live in. It was incredible because it was nothing like what they started with. And it's crazy because I was watching this show and then there is transformation. In other words, there's some times that there are things there just rearranged and changed around. And then there are other times when things are just completely transformed, in other words, you can see things change as they grow a puppy changes as it grows up from being a small, little puppy into a dog. What would a butterfly goes through a process of transformation? In other words, it's nothing. Like when it started out as and I just realized that sometimes what is changed and we think that we want change but the truth is that deep down inside everybody who calls himself a believer of Jesus Christ, actually needs a transformation as if this is good because the truth is that the man's word or rather the word a man if X Change what you know, the word of God initiates transformation That's why I'm not worried about what people say about me because the truth is what they say about me. Might change a little bit of things with just can't transform me. The truth, is that God's word is the only thing that can change me from the inside to the outside. He can make me what? I never was to begin with and because his words about transformation, I know that I can trust him. So you're going to stand that job that we serve what was said to create in Genesis. In other words he created ex nihilo out of nothing. There was nothing to work with and he just spoke and it was and I just ended. This is completely different than what we understand as creation today. Cuz the truth is if I told you I was going to build a house, you wouldn't expect me to grow some trees.
Wait a couple decades. Put it down and stand them off and then build your house. You and expect me to manufacture some soil so that I can plant the seed of the tree. That would have actually grown up the tree that I could use to build you a stupid man. Excuse me, a second brother, to grab some boards from Home Depot, What were used to as human beings? Were used to living in a stage or in, as, in a place of manipulation to see. We're used to things as being rearranged so that I take something from here and I mix it with something else. Come over there. Then I create something that didn't exist before which transformation is a lot deeper than that cuz he doesn't start off with starting materials, what? He actually create something that didn't exist before because of his word and I'm just grateful. That was your place to shop. God is not just in the business of rearranging things.
He's not just here to rearrange your problems. You got to see to rearrange some things in your life, to make it look better. So, I remember sometimes. There will be guests coming over. And my mom was very particular woman, she would want her house to be spotless, and my commission was always have to take the things that were always across the living room and in the den and I would just take those things and put them in the back room. You don't say anything. Just, you just put them over into the corner and that way, nobody could actually see it but, but while I was in the business of rearranging things, mom was in the business of transforming thinks. So we would go into a hormone of cleaning that will require us to get rid of some stuff and get some new stuff and change out pistons and paint that. And I said, maybe she's coming over for dinner. Did not come in my room. But she was not worried about Millie rearranging. Things her intent was to transform this place so they will not be any out of dirtiness or or cleanest in this place at all. Just kicking the bad to the back room of my life, just making sure that it looks good to everybody on the outside. But inside I'm still suffering and hurting and depressed and anxious. You aren't you? Glad that Jesus comes into your life and begins a work of transformation from the inside out? That's why if you want real transformation in your life, you have to get to a place where you're chasing after the word of God.
Do you want change? You can talk to just about anybody but what if you want real transformation you got to get a word from the Lord and see that's what makes this story so interesting, because the Bible says the stage and says, in verse one of Luke Chapter 5, I don't want to Cajun the crowd was pressing in on Jesus, to hear the word of God. There was some people in that crowd satisfied with hearing, the knights platitudes of the Pharisees. They were just satisfied with hearing the niceties of the scribes that they wanted something that was substantiv, something that was strong enough. And something that was bold and up in something that was transformative enough to bring about something that they didn't even know it exists in their lives. In other words, they were desperate to hear a word from the Lord. They wanted to hear something that would change them from the inside out. I believe that there are people in that crowd who believe that they were just powerless against what the enemy had a raid against them that they were generation legacies, that they were two weeks over time. Did they were temptations that they could not overcome their with their problems that they were too weak and too poor and too insufficient to even challenged. And so they needed a word from the Lord. I love this because because wow, God can create out of nothing. Here, we Church. He chooses to use tools. All right, all right. so, while he can speak and it becomes Jesus chooses to use tools. So I can imagine the crowd is pressing in on him, and now, he needs to come to work something out, because as he's being pressed end of this kind of a problem and he sees two boats by the lake and one of them just so happen to belong to Simon Peter.
Do you understand that scholars? Believe that this was not Peter's first encounter with Jesus. Probably from comparison with The Book of John that this was actually a something rather Peter had been following Jesus for for about a year now, but but he just hadn't committed all the way. And I would make sense because why everybody is pressing it on Jesus to hear a word from the Lord Peter is over there. Washing his Ness. Other priorities in this moment and I just see this, Jesus is standing on the shore right there, by the water, sharing the word of God, it had the power to transform and change the lives of those were listening, and the crowd is pressing in on him. Picture this picture, this picture. This is not that Jesus is scared of getting somebody's cooties.
The problem is that with all these people pressing in on him in a closed space, even though Jesus is projecting his voice, it the truth is that in a world without microphones, the cluster of people just might prevent the sound waves from reaching those all the way in the back end, or someone might have come all the way over there, but just not been able to hear the word of God because they work us throwing in on him. And you ever been to space? Will you just wanted to hear a word from the Lord but there was just some obstacles. Seems like every time you got close to getting in the presence of the other kids woke up, the bank accounts are letting you know that you got to go to work. I was going to getting on your last nerves is always something holding you back like every time you just about to get to that next, spiritual plane seems like something always stands in front of you and the truth is that sometimes those things are people. So sometimes even in the house of God. When you come to get a word from the Lord, that one person will say that one thing. And now your whole spirit
I see, Jesus. Jesus knows the obstacles. So Jesus knows that there has to be a better way so that everybody can have equal opportunity to the word of transformation. And walk. Check this out man. I love this wild. Jesus could have leaned into Divine Authority and just commanded the sound waves to reach the ears of the listeners in the back. Play begins to look for a tour. Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me a boat, which happens to belong to the experienced. Fisherman, Simon, Peter and he climbs into the computer just to put out a little from the shore. And then he sits down on the boat and I'm on the boat just a little bit higher than those. He was pressed about with before the wind blowing in from the from the lake actually carries the sound of his voice out to the way back of the crowd. Agency. That he can work a miracle. He just used a tool. It's crazy. That this was a boat that this wasn't anything extraordinary create a megaphone in the moment. He stepped on a boat and that became a platform from the word of God to transform lives. Stay with me. Stay with me. It's crazy. Because the Bible says that the fishermen had gone out of the bolts and we're washing their Nets TC, the reasons they had been fishing all night and had caught nothing. They left the boats not because the book is from the league, not because they both just wasn't their favorite color, then left the boat, because while they were in the boat, they just hadn't been productive. Social, the boat was abandoned because it was unproductive, stay with me, Char, stay with me. I need you to see that, Jesus is getting ready to change somebody's life in the sermon, and he looks over and seized an abandoned tool.
Abandoned because it had been unproductive and he chooses to use this unless abandon tools to become a platform for transforming lives to the word of God. And see what the privilege of hindsight is real. Easy is real easy to come to the conclusion that Jesus can use ordinary tools to bring about transformation. What we know this as readers of the scripture. We know that he can use water and turn into why we know that he can use mud and open up a Blind Man's eyes. When we know that he can use a word to resurrect Lazarus. And so, it's very, very easy for us to come to the conclusion that we didn't have that experience, just yet.
And what they saw was a boat that just didn't fulfill their hopes and dreams that night that they saw a tool that wasn't productive in the moment. And the truth is that while the fishermen abandon their ships, and they leave their tool because it's unproductive. The truth is that so many of us are following in their footsteps even today tools in the face of adversity. Things don't go our way. And when we reach some obstacles when things don't happen, the way that we think that they shouldn't and the tools that we thought would get us results. Are unproductive what quick to abandon it.
Electric kettle.
By the time and I would always use it every time I press it, the delay, I wasn't going to sit down and try to figure out the circuitry in trying to unscrew the bottom and see who manufactured and see how I can fix it. If I can send it back and get it remodeled. I submit forget this thing. I'll buy a new one. There were so quick sometimes to just abandon tools that we think are unproductive in the moment because they weren't appreciated in the moments. So, what's up stop using our talents? Because they weren't accepted the first time. Laura's Home what have stopped serving because the truth is our efforts were appreciated when we thought they should and we've abandoned are very tools that God would use to transform the world because it's unproductive in the moment. Help us, Lord help us, Lord. Aren't you? Glad that God doesn't abandon things when they don't produce?
Aren't you just grateful that Jesus doesn't? Look at abandoned tools and just see them as worthless. Aren't you glad that Jesus looks in the trash pile and still sees treasure, aren't you glad that Jesus doesn't just abandoned you because you haven't been productive cuz you haven't lived up to his grace has told you and equips you to do. But he looks down until I can still use that. I can still take this and make it. You switch this to still be productive to me. It is the grace of God that sees broken things and still can use it.
But Jesus Takes this a little bit further. City looks at Peter who is already allow him to use his boat and he says I need something more. You got another 20 that I want to use. And he says, the Peter launch out into the deep. And let down your nets for a catch.
I think this is a word for everybody, because the truth is that, sometimes we're okay with Jesus. Using our boat, But we don't really want to get down with the Nets.
I would like this. So there are some areas that you're comfortable serving in and there's some gifts that are comfortable operating in what are some things that Jesus calls you to do sometimes when you like Lorde. I tried that already been there. But would you see that Jesus is not satisfied with getting the, The Superficial gifts, that time is willing to give him because Simon wasn't using the Bose. It doesn't really matter that Jesus used the book assignment is he using it right now, but the Bible says that they were washing their Nets, actively engage with the tool that Jesus is now demanding that they use. So he's saying, forget your washing the next. Go back and get them dirty again.
A little kitty master. Master. That was a great sermon.
Master. That was cool. But but we've been out there all night. In fact, I'm going to run about two hours of sleep right now. And if this was anybody else, we be squaring up on the bow of the boat. and you're asking me to go out into the deep and let down the Nets and I just finished washing for a cash.
But he says this incredible line, that changes the course of his life.
He looks at Jesus and says, we've been out there all night. We've been sweating and toilet and we know that that was the optimal time to catch fish and we catch But you know what? If you say so.
If you say so we'll go out. We'll go out to send that. Peter didn't know what he was saying. Boy, you was actually saying, is that regardless of the circumstances that I find myself in Jesus you have access to my tools. Or is he was saying just because it's inconvenient for me doesn't mean that I have the right to withhold. What actually belongs to you.
You can have my tools and so he obeys the voice of the master. He goes out and let down the nets for a catch. And the Bible says that when they do this, suddenly the waters, begin to stir. And suddenly there's a foam on the top of the ocean. Totally where there was no fish, there is schools of fish Galore suddenly, there is so much fish that the Nets that they thought they weren't catching anything. In couldn't hold the cats that come into their Nets. To the point where he has to call help from the other boats that he's just giving up his tools for a fruitless Endeavor. Jesus turns this thing I just changed it, they don't just catch one or two fishes, I got, you know, they have such a great catch that, it transforms the entire scene. Of the day.
So so today we going we fish and then we like catch it, we might eat some, we might share with our family. Take a picture with it. Peter was living off of his back. So, if Peter didn't catch fish, he couldn't pay his bills.
If he didn't catch fish, he couldn't do what he was supposed to do. He couldn't feed his family, you can pay his mortgage on time, you can pay tax to roll. He can do anything because he didn't catch, no fish.
I don't know where Peter was in the space. I don't know if he was on the financial open up or if he was in a season when he just needed $5 to get him through the month, I don't know where he was, but I do know that the catch of fish that was large, enough to almost break, his neck, would have radically change and transform his entire life. Did this is likely the most fish that he was ever seen in his life experience as a fisherman, know, he is. And it's that because that's the only reason that's the only reason that she would turn around and worship the master, cuz this is extraordinary. It's unknown. And so he sees his wild catch a fish. He looks at Jesus and he falls down. Jesus is nice and says depart from me, Lord. Depart Lord, leave me alone. I'm a simple man.
You got to see this going to see that Peter is a fisherman.
Peter Enos scribe, penal Pharisee, Pino Church, boy like that. He's a fisherman. He's got calluses on his hands. He's got muscles on his arms. He's not that kind of guy to be crawling on his knees in front of anybody. The only thing that can drive him to his knees is nothing short of transformation. This is the same Peter who prospectively has been following Jesus for a year non-committal. It And we might catch a glimpse of the storm in here and there. But this same Peter turns around and and ends up breaking at the feet of the master.
as soon as you understand that there was a transformation, Not just in the situation, but in Peter's heart.
And there's some things may there, some transformation that are only possible when you give God access to your tools.
Computer Service, it bless the crowd and it brought in fish but it actually was God's means of saving him. I think because he gave the Lord his tools, he came to Salvation already gave you, you just missed your place to shop, right there in such a way that he will use the tools that he is already. Things are already around you to actually save you, okay, you don't believe me so he'll stay the winter with a handful of flour and some leftover oil. Can you save David with five, smooth Stones. He'll save Gideon. With 300 minutes from Home Depot supplies that he'll stay right here. When they started talk, he'll stay the entire nation of Israel with a staff. And when Jonah thought he had left, all his tools behind. Is his living proof that he can save you with a big fish and I just want to talk to somebody who has been desperately, looking for a tool to help them out of their financial situation and the relational situation. Now the situation has been bringing them down and making the burdensome in the night and keeping them up. I want to talk to you and let you know that all you have is all you need because insignificant and abandon tools. Are just Miracles waiting to happen. If you give your tools to the master, he will use those tools for transformation.
How to speak to those who are calling on the name of God, looking for deliverance, and for hope those who are called by his name. I got to talk to you. Let you know that your talents and your gifts and even your circumstances are just tools that God will use to save you. if you give them access,
see if you sing, that's a tool.
If you play an instrument, that's a tool. If you can cook, that's a tool. If your text Abby from The Cutting Edge of Technology, that's a tool it if you're into photography or videography that's Pat. Or if you listen well that's at or if you speak well that's our tools. If you can express yourself with drawing and art and painting, that's a tool. If you know how to talk to people that tool that God can use if you have a passion for health, that's a tool. If you have a passion for helping people, that's a tool. If you're good with your hands, that's a tool. If you like driving, that's a tool if you're doing kids. That's a two. If you can read. If you can read, that's a tool.
The anything and everything that God has already given you. AR tools for transformation.
And you see that the mission of Salvation, check this out. Check this out. So, so that the crowds would not have been able to hear Jesus as clearly if Peter hadn't given up his tools.
Let me put it to you like this. What if somebody didn't hear the gospel who could have because they Peter didn't let Jesus use his tools.
What if somebody didn't make it to the kingdom? Because Peters tools weren't available to Jesus.
pictures of the mission of Salvation in the agenda of Heaven, it is literally literally Banking and depending on how you use your tools,
so just leave it as children of God. We have to get to the point where we are not selfish with our service or stingy with our tools. We have to get to the point. We are ready to say, listen at your word. Lord. Because you say so I'll do it. Yeah, I know. Last time I did it, they laughed at me but at your word I'll do it. I don't last time I did. It was super inconvenience than turn on at all. Like I want me to go because you say so I'll do it. I know that this thing will really look the way I wanted to.
So I'll do it. We have to get to that point because the truth is that tool just might be your transformation. That might be the way that God saved you and it's crazy man. It's crazy that some of us are praying for a spiritual breakthrough desperate for deliverance. But the truth is that we're looking to build some go to rifle for filming in contentment and Joy are all the wild Jesus doesn't have access to our tools.
So I guess I'm wondering. If the transformation that we seem to lack in our lives and in the church is a direct result of the way that we have handled our tools.
Someone was a hard at work building about the kingdoms. But Jesus has no access to your tools. Some of us work so much that Jesus has no access to your tools. So we'll spend so much time with that one person that Jesus has no access to your tools and I wonder what kind of transformation would be possible. if Jesus had access to your tools,
Feeling really close. I want to share with you to share with you how this was actually a story of transformation not just for the crowd but for Peter, Carnival chords in the book of Acts that there came a day when the Holy Spirit fell. So heavily upon those who are gathered together. That something incredible has rearranged their dialect and add some new words to their vocabulary. The Holy Spirit fell in such a way that tongues of fire rested on their head and they began to speak in different languages across the world. Could hear them all at the same time in their own languages. In other words, that Holy Spirit moment was not just changing and rearranging what they could already do spiritual transformation. So that the words of Peter, we're actually like the words of God. He was a conduit forgot to speak to his people. And if I wasn't speaking and preaching, he's giving the word of God. The Bible says that it got to so heavy and got some point, we're after he was finished speaking to people who are from all over the world, they were cut to the heart.
And they said they sent it to what do we have to do to be safe?
As soon as you see this here, I just see this but I can only imagine that some of the people who were in the crowd at Peter's calling. But have been there at Peter sermon.
Show the people that have been introduced to a sailor.
Did not get rid of traduce to a saint. So, the people who saw Peter, when he was still washing his Nets, they now see Peter fishing for men, the people who saw Peter, when he was still in his rough stage. They see his spiritual blow up on the other side, the people who saw Peter, when he was still Rough Around the Edges, now they see Peter in a completely different life preaching, the word of God, I just ended it started when Peter gave God his tools.
There's some things that you're not going to grow out of. Did the some things are not going to change some things are not just going to magically be. Rearranged once you get a certain age, there's some transformation that can only happen. when you're willing to give God, what you have, Give them access to your tools. So my question to you is we get ready closes? What will be possible for you? What would be possible? If you let God use your tools.
Cuz I want to extend an invitation even now. Everyone who has been living on the fringes of fulfillment.
Are you done something for Dad? You should have charged. You did nothing but but God really hasn't had access to all of your tools.
He's gifted with and give you your your talents and your time and your energies in your gift it really hasn't had access to all of it.
Can only send invitation to you this morning to see what would happen if you gave God, your tools and will make the Practical for you right now. This should be a car in the back of your Pew. Does an a break in his car, with his hand on some pants. I'm asked those those things back just to grab some pants. Just want you to write down three things that God has given you three tools. Rachel's think about me, singing, or cooking or drawing a listing of speaking whatever it is. I want you to think about the tools that God has given you ever have. You heard some reason. They only say, I want to see him with it. I want to see there it is. There it is. If you need a car just raising, hell will get it to you. We will come around with some pants and I want you to write down these two of us. Listen, I don't want you just think about it and go home and forget.
I want you to actually engage in writing down some of the tools that God has given you to transform your life and to transform the world. What would it be possible if God had access to the things that he had given you? So right now, there's some around to give you some pans. if you have a pan just pull it out, just right there on that car, just did some tools that God has give you three tools Maybe you can draw. You're a good listener. Maybe you have this incredible way with people? Whatever it is. I want you to write down your tools cuz I believe that these are some of the things that God will use to transform you. To change the world around you so long as he has access to your tools tomorrow. If you need a car and get a panda's, raise your hand will get it to you, but she won't hand over here. What's the weather in the backseat when he reviewed the car just raising it
You're riding down three tools that God has given you may God is going to give me the ability to play. An instrument or maybe he's given me the ability to attempt to draw to really be text Savvy. I really know what I'm doing with the computer, with an iPhone or whatever. Whatever it is, write it down. Identify the tools that got to give you because they just might save your soul.
Leaving is your writing? I just want to share with you that the truth is at everything. Good in my life has been a result of God having access to my tools.
Batman. I've done things and Ben places not because I was good or talented in and of itself because God, use what he had given me to be a blessing to other people.
Maybe I've been across the country, I traveled outside the country and is open because I don't have access to my tools. Did we could use me there? And even now, man, I want to join with you, as you write out these things, mean, it just committing. That God will have access to my tools. As for me and my tools, we will serve the Lord.
Morphe to call you the Panthers, raising him. We got to get to you.
Listen to be watching online and this is your moment, you feel the Holy Spirit speaking to you, you know, that there is something that you can be doing for the master. I would encourage even at this moment, just to dedicate your tools in the quietness of your home. I want to give you the moment just an opportunity to surrender.
Coming forward, forward, forward. I'm at my deacons if they would just be so kind as to take up this off and put again and they're going to come right down to his eye. and I want you to, after you finish writing, write down your name, write down, what your gift is write down your name. Don't believe, this is your tool. I don't even finish writing. And what you just drop this in the office as a symbol, that you're offering your tools back to the Lord.
I'm giving what God has given me back to him.
I'm about to come through right now. The tool that you got to get back to God as a tool that God has given you. That is keeping you that might just be your transformation. This is your opportunity. Make it a simple right now that you will give what belongs to God back to him. Somebody singing is coming back. Somebody's drawing is coming back somebody's speaking. Somebody's praying somebody serving is coming back right now because you're giving God access to your tools.

even if they come, even when you're really close the service,
How many bites you right now just to commit in your heart? That guy will have access to my tools.

Listen, if you give me your card already and you really wanted to stand in a symbol that you are, dedicating your life, your tools went to a box. So the Holy Spirit. Would you just answer your feet with me to get rid of?
Praise the lord. It's a good decision. That's a good decision. Praise the Lord. And I would be remiss as a deacon. Finish up a bottle, just extend an invitation to somebody who needs to surrender, their whole selves to Jesus and baptism. I need to give their whole lives over to him again. Listen to text you, I want and I want to ask that. You would just give me your hand and you got your heart, just meet me right down here. Want to play with? You just tell your neighbor, excuse me. If you're saying, I want to go all the way with Jesus. I know that he is calling me to a deeper walk with him. And that's you right now, just tell your neighbor, excuse me, slide on our computer, may be right here. I want to pray with you. I only get you started on that journey to go on a journey with cheese. I want to get my life to him in baptism. Only get two miles to the best she right now. Just come on down. If you wash it online. Just indicate

Every head is bowed every eyes closed.
Even if I begin to pray. Try to hand if you feel the holy spirit is calling you and you know you got to give your life all the way to Jesus Christ. Bible studies baptism, whatever it is. I'm asking right now just tell your neighbor So, I don't write down to the front of this View.

Now we don't even know what can happen. when we give you our tools, But we know God that your word is an agent of transformation. it's okay if you're calling us, To give what we have to your service. It might not be what we want to do. It might not be convenient for us. But God at your work. Will do it. Got it might not be what we think we should be doing, or how we think we should be spending our time, but got if you say, so we're giving our tools to you. And then y'all were banking on you too and not and initiate the transformation. That is only possible when you have access to all of us. So. I'm asking for those who have stuff to defeat those are watching online those who are committing in their hearts right now that you would seal our decisions to be fully accessible to you. That you would give us grace of God to live in accordance with your will. To offer ourselves as a Living Sacrifice.
And then y'all we look forward to the ways you can deliver and transform and and completely completely change everything that we thought was possible. God, you have us here. We are. Here we are. Here we are at like Peter or guy. We just acknowledge that you are indeed, Lord. We acknowledge that you are the one who speaks and it will be weak knowledge, or Lord of lords, and king of kings that you're high and lifted up that your name is above every other name. It's because of that that we submit to you and your house this morning. We praise you. We thank you. We love you. In Jesus name, let everybody believe say, amen. And God is waiting to do Your life. You may be seated in the house of the Lord.
