What Is Your New Name

So good to be here. So good to be anywhere at my age, I guess. So good to be here tonight.

And thank you Pastor Tim and Cindy for the marvelous job that you do and the obvious mark of God that's upon you and upon this church. I just love coming here. I love the sense, the presence of God.

Oh folks, you can have church until you're blue in the face. But if you don't have the presence of God, you have nothing. Thank God for his presence.

Thank God for the honoring of Jesus Christ and the presence of his Holy Spirit. There's nothing more powerful than that. Tonight.

I'm going to pray and I'm going to believe for an eyesalve anointing this evening. I'm going to believe that as Jesus Christ once stood in a pulpit in the synagogue and he said the Spirit of the Lord is upon me to give sight to the blind was other things. But one of the things was to give sight to the blind and to open the doors to those that have been bound and I'm believing that that's going to happen in people's lives tonight.

I'm believing is going to happen in all of your lives actually that you're going to see something you haven't seen before and whatever doors have held you back from the fullness of what God has for your life are going to open and you're going to be set free. I have a message tonight called. What is your new name? What is turn to the person beside you and ask them right now.

What is your new name? Now most everybody. Doesn't yet know the answer to this question. Father.

I thank you God with all my heart for the anointing of your Holy Spirit. I thank you for the strength of God. I thank you Lord for not even just the ability for me to deliver this tonight, but Lord we need an anointing to hear not just to deliver father.

I asked for the anointing to come upon your congregation tonight those who are here this evening those who will hear this message in the future. I ask Oh God that you would find the entrance into our minds and into our hearts and Lord in all of us that you would do something so far beyond us beyond our deepest expectations of life beyond our understanding of what life in the spirit really as we think it is supposed to be father. Thank you Lord God Almighty that every time your word is opened the scripture says the entrance of your words your word gives light.

So let there be light tonight. Let light come into our hearts God Jesus. I'm asking you for a touch of heaven tonight.

I'm also asking you to heal those that are sick in body those that are feeble in mind. Let the healing power of Jesus Christ be released in this sanctuary as the word of God is spoken Lord begin to do things in our bodies that we didn't anticipate you were going to do your gospel was never intended to be preached without signs following. I believe that Lord with all of my heart and I'm standing on that tonight that as these words are spoken not just tonight, but as Pastor Tim speaks on Sundays Lord that you would begin to stretch your hand out in the sanctuary and online and begin to heal Lord.

Let it be noised abroad as people in their homes are touched cancers disappear people stand up out of wheelchairs God you begin to do things that only you can do let it be noised abroad throughout countries throughout the world though God that you are healing again in this generation Jesus Christ. We want you to be honored in this last hour. We're now living in I'm not satisfied with your name to be held in low esteem.

It's not honoring to you Lord. We ask you tonight God to begin to move in a way that we've never seen in our lifetime. And we're asking it for your Glory's sake God for your heart sake for the crosses sake.

Oh God begin to do what only you can do tonight Lord Jesus Christ. Let your kingdom come and let your will be done. Amen, and amen going to start in the gospel of Luke chapter one as I love to say now if you have your Bible, please open it.

If your Bible is on your phone take out your phony Bible and you can read along with me tonight. Gospel of Luke chapter 1 there was in the days of Herod the king of Judea verse 5 a certain priest named Zacharias of the vision of Abijah his wife was of the daughters of Aaron. So she had a priestly heritage as well and her name was Elizabeth and they were both righteous before God walking on all the commandments and of the ordinances of the Lord blameless so that it defines this couple.

This is a couple who have experience in the things of God. They are sincere in their walk with God. They're following the commandments of God and all the various things that God's given them to do.

There's very few people in any generation that can honestly say they were blameless before God, but these people were blameless before God. But they had no child because Elizabeth was barren and they were both well-advanced in years. And so it was that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division according to the custom of the priesthood his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

It's a it's a type of prayer. So this this man Zacharias had access to places in God that other people didn't have he get he got to go behind the veil my put it that we got to go in the inner court when most everybody had to stay outside and the whole multitude verse 10 of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense a time of sacrifice a time of worship a time of prayer before God. Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense and when Zacharias saw him he was troubled and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said to him do not be afraid Zacharias for your prayer is heard and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son and you shall call his name John now. Zacharias at this point would probably say wait a minute. That's a prayer.

I prayed 40 years ago. He's now old. He and his wife Elizabeth are past childbearing years.

They're probably in their 70s, maybe even older and it's they're past the time when they can have a child and suddenly the angel Gabriel says to him you're going to have a son and his name is John God's heard your prayer. Has anybody ever prayed a prayer and it's been so long and you think that well God's not going to answer it or God's forgotten. No, he's not forgotten your prayer.

He doesn't come on your time or mine. He comes on his own time. He comes at the right time.

You see it wasn't time to answer that prayer because there was a specific thing that was going to unfold and the child that God was going to give to Zacharias and Elizabeth was to bear carry a very integral part of that. Do not be afraid Zacharias your prayers heard and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son and you will call his name John and you will have joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. And shall drink neither wine nor strong drink.

He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will also go before him that is Jesus in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. So what a phenomenal promise not you're not just going to have a child Zacharias.

You're going to have a child that's going to be filled with the Holy Spirit in his mother's womb. You're going to have a child that is going to be the herald or the announcer of the coming of the Messiah, which was which was everything that the people of Israel really live for religiously speak. They live for the coming of their Messiah the one who would set them free the one who would be King of Kings and Lord of Lords and and many other such promises to them and the angel said to Zacharias you and Elizabeth are going to have a son and this son is going to be the one who announces his coming and not just announces his coming at many people are going to turn from their old ways to something new that's going to be presented to them as he begins to speak.

Now you would think that Zacharias would say well praise God. This is awesome because he's he's been teaching the people. He's he's not a novice.

He's he's he knows the scriptures. He's been given access to places that other people aren't but his response was Zacharias in verse 18 said to the angel how shall I know this for I am an old man and my wife is well-advanced in years and so out of his mouth doesn't come faith after all these years of religion out of his mouth comes unbelief there is a point in every one of our lives that God will speak something that is beyond us to achieve in our own strength. We will come in and we're we're excited and we have those formative years where God speaks to us and we we learn who we are in Christ and we we learned about the attributes of God and many many good things about God and we come to church and we sing our songs and we're excited as we were tonight have been singing about we don't or we do or don't dance in our old grave, whatever the situation is, but then God begins to speak to us about something that he intends to do that's beyond our natural ability.

He's after I said, well, there was a time maybe where we could have helped you in this God, but you see we're too old now. Every one of us we want some part in what God's about to do in our lives. We want to take a little bit of the credit at least or we feel like we have to bring something of human effort to the table and we're unwilling to believe that God is able to do something in us that only God can do and let me tell you something if you haven't arrived there yet, you will arrive there one day.

You will get to a place as you walk with God where God speaks to you about something he wants to do that is beyond your natural ability to do in yourself. And the angel answered after Zachariah said, how shall I know this? How is this possible? Because I'm old. My wife is well-advanced in years and the angel answered and I believe it was a stern answer.

It's my personal opinion on this and he said I am Gabriel who stands in the presence of God and was sent to speak to you and to bring you these glad tidings. I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and God sent me to tell you of these things.

But behold, you will be mute. In other words, you will be unable to speak and not able to speak until the day these things take place because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time. In other words, you will lose your voice many churches many people today lose their voice.

They can't sing. They can't praise. They can't tell the next generation about what God is going to do because they came to a place in their own lives where they were unwilling to believe God.

And when you get to that place, you lose your song. You can't worship. There's no sense of awe in the presence of God anymore because ultimately God began to speak and you and I began to say no, no, no, no, I can't be can't be not in my life.

And so he comes out from behind the veil as it is and he's unable to speak. Now in the sixth month. Verse 26 the angel Gabriel again was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David and the Virgin's name was Mary.

So now it was the angel Gabriel first came to Zacharias. Who's an old man probably in his 70s or older. He didn't believe now the angel Gabriel comes to a teenager.

Of no particular ability. Do you understand? No stature, no status in the church. She probably doesn't know that much at some but probably not that much of the scriptures.

She's only a teenager. And having come in verse 28, the angel said to rejoice highly favored one. The Lord is with you and blessed are you among women when she saw him.

She was troubled that is saying and considered what manner of greeting this was then the angel said to her do not be afraid Mary for you found favor with God and behold you'll conceive in your womb and bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the son of the highest and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom. There will be no end.

How would you like to get a promise like that when you went home tonight? You're preparing to go to bed. You're brushing your teeth. You put on your pajamas and you go in your bedroom and there's an angel standing there.

Imagine this is what happened to Mary. This is exactly what happened to Mary and a promise not just you're going to have a son. His name is going to be Jesus.

You found favor with God. He's going to be a king. He's going to sit on the throne of his father David.

He's going to reign over the house of Jacob, which which is the house of the promise or the lineage of God that there will be a blessing in all of the earth and there will be no end to his kingdom. Now then Mary said to the angel, how can this be since I do not know a man now, you see it's still a bit of unbelief, but you see, she's young and when you're young, you can get away with things that you can't get away with when you're older and you should know better. Have you been sitting in the house of God a long time? There's an accountability when God brings the promise to you and the young can answer ask questions like this because she's she's not had the experience of Zacharias has had and the angel answered verse 35 and said to her the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you.

Therefore also the Holy One who's to be born of you will be called the son of God. In other words, this is how it's going to happen. The Holy Spirit is going to come upon you the power of God will overshadow you and you're going to be given life that you can't bear apart from God.

Something's going to be born in you and born through you. And now indeed Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age. And this is now the sixth month.

In other words, she's six months pregnant now for her who was called barren for with God. Nothing will be impossible. What's impossible with God? Nothing.

There's nothing impossible to God. Nothing. What can he do through your life? Anything he wants to do.

You have the Spirit of the Living God. If you have trusted Christ for your salvation, you have the Spirit of the Living God now resident inside of your physical body Christ in you the hope of Glory. Paul says there is nothing that God can't do that he decides to do and he has determined to do something through you and through me that we don't have the skill set to do.

We don't have the power to do what he said. He's going to do through our lives. I've told you many times and because I'm old I'll tell you again, but I remember the day that I stepped out of my seat and came and knelt at an altar years and years ago and I said God if you're calling me, I don't have anything within me to give you.

I don't have anything but a bad temper and I'm not a good father. I'm not a good husband and I don't even like people but if you're calling me. If you can use nothing you can have me you see the Mary said be it done to me according to the word of the Lord.

That's where the miracles start to happen. Mary said after this verse 37 that says with God nothing will be impossible. Then verse 38 Mary said behold the maidservant of the Lord let it be to me according to your word and the angel departed from that is the key behold God.

I am here and Lord you're speaking things to me that are impossible in the natural but let it be done to me according to your word. That's the difference between her and Zacharias Zacharias was steeped in unbelief and because of it. He lost his voice.

He lost the ability to speak. That's what happens through unbelief when we when you and I hit that moment of unbelief. It's almost as if we lose our voice.

We lose our song. We lose everything. But this young girl said let it be a to me according to your word.

Now, this is where it starts to get really interesting. That's where I love the story. Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste to a city of Judah and entered into the house of who Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth and it happened when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary that the babe leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she spoke with a loud voice and said blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

Why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? She said it with a loud voice and as it was customary in those days when a relative would arrive. I'm sure that Zacharias is out in the courtyard greeting Mary along with Elizabeth or if his windows open that's probably why Elizabeth said it with a loud voice. Now you can just imagine he is the is the priest.

He is the is the teacher of the people. He is the one with all the experience. He's the one that gets to go behind the curtain and yet it's it's a teenager and and Elizabeth women were not allowed equal access to to learning in the scriptures as men were back in those days, but here they are filled with the Holy Ghost.

The babe is leaping in the womb. They have revelation from God and Elizabeth knows not only that is the babe leap in her womb. She says for indeed as soon as your voice the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears the babe leaped in my womb for joy blessed to see who believed for this shall be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord and Mary said my soul magnifies the Lord now picture good old Zacharias standing there.

He can't even greet Mary comes out and you know, that's all he can do. You can't even say good to have you. He has no voice you understand and these two these two women are are praising God.

They're getting filled with the Holy Spirit. They're prophesying they're speaking about wondrous things and he just he's just there and he's supposed to be the teacher and he can't even speak Mary said my soul magnifies the Lord my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior for his regarded the lowly state of his maidservant for behold henceforth all generations shall call me blessed for he is mighty has done great things for me and holy is his name and his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm.

He's scattered the proud and the imagination of their hearts. Is that exciting? Zacharias he's put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly. He's filled the hungry with good things and the rich is sent away empty.

This is a teenage girl. He's helped his servant Israel in remembrance of his mercy as he spoke to our fathers to Abraham and to his seed forever. So if you got it, you got a picture.

These two women are both with child both supernaturally by God both bearing life. One's going to be a voice that's going to introduce the Messiah and the other is the Messiah who's going to sit on the throne of David is going to rule and reign forever and both these women are filled with the Holy Ghost. Both of them are prophesying and it says in verse 56 Mary remained with her for three months three months every day sitting at the table Mary Elizabeth Zacharias and Elizabeth saying tell us again Mary about this angel that appeared to you.

What was his name? He said his name was Gabriel Zacharias. Have you ever studied about an angel called Gabriel? Have you ever seen that anywhere in the text of Scripture and they're and they're I'm sure they're prophesying. They're speaking the babies.

The babes are growing inside of them. There's there's joy and this poor old guy that's supposed to be the teacher of the people. He can't even speak.

He's got no voice. He's got nothing. That's what happens folks.

When you choose to not believe God three months three must have been torture for this man. Three months and I think it is hard. He said God if you ever give me another chance, I will praise you.

I will believe you see thank God. There's always a second chance for every one of us whether we've fallen into unbelief about ourselves or whatever the situation is. Now Elizabeth's time came to be delivered and it so it was verse 59 on the eighth day.

They came to circumcise the child and they would have called him by this his father's name Zacharias. So it was tradition in those days that you called your children by either the father's name or somebody else's name in your household. You never went outside of that.

It was it was always your child was always called after you and his mother they said they would they called him by the name of his father Zacharias and his mother answered. No, he shall be called John but they said to her. There's no one among your relatives who's called by this name.

You see God's given you a new name. And it's a name that none of your relatives are called by. It's a name that nobody in your past is called by it's a new name.

It's a new identity. It's a new future. It's a new life.

It's new joy. It's a new birth. It's it's new giftings.

It's new power. It's new ability. It's born of God.

It's not born of human effort. It's not even born by the amount we study. It's good to study the scriptures.

It's born by that whisper of God that promise of God that that that thing that God keeps trying to speak into your heart that you keep pushing away because you say how can this be? How could it be that I could do something like this or be someone like this when there's there's never been anybody in my family ever called by this name? How can it be? And so they made signs to his father what they would have him called and he asked for a writing tablet and wrote and said his name is John and I was I think he wrote like real big letters with exclamation point. His name is what God says his name is his name is John is not Zacharias. It's not what's others have said his name should be his name is John and the scripture says immediately his mouth was open and his tongue was loose and he spoke praising God the Spirit of God came upon him and he began to prophesy just like Mary and Elizabeth had been doing I'm telling you when you start agreeing with God the Spirit of God will come upon you something of heaven begins to open in your heart and with God all things become possible.

There's a door that opens in front of you. The blindness of your eyes is taken away the cage the enemy tried to put in front of you opens and this endless possibility of new life starts to open up in front of you. All praise be to God if God's people could see this we would be rejoicing around every table.

We would be greeting one another in the marketplace. We would be prophesying about the goodness and the power of our God. His mouth was open.

His tongue was loose and he spoke praising God unbelief had found a voice. It's never too late to have a voice of faith. It's never too late to believe God.

It's never too late this I'm telling you something. I I'm 71, but I make you a promise the young and the Lord are not passing me by there's no way they're going to pass me by I am still open whatever you want to do God, whatever you speak whatever door you want to open wherever you want me to go whatever you want me to say when I get there, whatever you going to do my life Lord be it done to me according to your word. I'm not going to limit God.

I'm not going to make that mistake that Israel once made in the wilderness when they limited God and they said can God provide a table in this wilderness? Can God do something that I have come to terms with believing that he can't oh, no with God all things are possible. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God.

God has given you a name. God has given you a purpose. God has given you a future.

He doesn't call you by the things that you call yourself or others have called you. It does. I don't care how many people in your family have been defiled.

Maybe you feel tonight defiled by past experience. Maybe you've had sexual experiences that have not been good or something has been done to you or you've done something to somebody else, but God doesn't call you that. He looks at you tonight and says I call you pure.

I don't call you defiled. You are as pure as the day you were born. What I have cleansed you have no right to call common or unclean any longer.

I don't call you that I call you pure. I'm telling you tonight no matter what has happened to you or what you've been involved in you are pure in the sight of God. There's some here tonight say well, my name is loser and God says no your name is not loser.

You are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you. They're not a loser. You have already won the race.

You're already more than a conqueror. You're already in the end zone. You have already won the contest before it even starts.

There's some here tonight. You'd say my name is recovering addict and God says no that's not how I see you. You are a witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and you are empowered by God as a new creation to bring a message of freedom and deliverance to your generation.

Some would say well, my name is selfish and God says no I call you missionary by the power of God. You're going to be given for the sake of others. You're going to go to places.

You could not go before in your own strength and I'm going to give you a caring heart for people. You didn't care about before you might say well, my name is of no reputation, but God says no, I call you one who brings the name of Christ to reputation. You might say my name is useless, but God says no you are useful in the Master's hand.

I have ordained you for a purpose. I've saved you and called you and you are safe and secure in the hand of my father. Jesus said and no one can take you out of that hand and there's a use for you in the Master's hand.

You might say well, my name is untalented and God says no I have gifted you to do things that you cannot do in your own strength. You are gifted by the power of God. You might say well, my name is broke.

God says you're not broke. I have filled you with the treasure of heaven. The first thing that Jesus said when he stepped into that pulpit in the synagogue, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach the gospel to the poor.

I've sent you and I've filled you with the treasure of heaven. You might say tonight. My name is lost and Jesus says no, I call you found.

I don't call you lost. I call you found by the way, you never found Jesus. He was never lost.

You were lost. He found you and he revealed himself to you. He says I don't call you lost anymore.

You are mine. You belong to me. Hallelujah.

I have found you and I brought you home rejoicing when I was on that cross Christ would say to you. I found you and I put you over my shoulders rejoicing and carried you with me right into heaven praise be to God. I found you you might say well, my name is temporarily victorious and Christ is no that's not your name.

Your name is victorious forever ruling and reigning forever with Jesus Christ. That's what your name is. Praise God.

You're going to rule and reign with Christ. You know that you might say well, my name is insecure and he says no, I call you secure in the hand of God. You might say tonight.

My name is nothing and he says no, you are everything to me. You are the center of my heart. You are the apple of my eye.

My focus is on you because you are everything to me. Mary said be it done to me. According to your word.

So my question to you tonight. What is your new name? Take a moment to think about it now. And don't push it away.

What is God calling you? It's a new name. Maybe nobody in your family has ever been called that before. I was the first believer in my family as far back as history records.

There was never a follower in Jesus Christ. I was the first follower of Jesus Christ in my family. I'm not the only one now, but I was the first.

God gave me a new name. God gave me a new nature. God gave me a new future.

God gave me a new heart. God gave me a new mind. God gave me a new spirit.

God gave me a new journey. New direction. But you see it was it was my part was to believe him when he began to speak to my heart.

So the question is what is he calling you? You know right now you're in a battle because he tries to speak to you but many are pushing trying to push it out of your minds that can't be me. He can't be calling me that because nobody in my family has ever been called that. Well, you're part of the family of God now and part of being adopted into the families.

You're given a new name. Oh praise God now on my part and your part. It's be it done to me according to your word.

Not according to what I think or what others have said not according to what's written on my birth certificate. But according to your word. Who do you say that? I am who do you say that? I am God think about it and don't fight the whisper now.

Don't fight it. The God is speaking into your mind and speaking into your heart. But do it don't do what Zacharias did.

How could this be? I'm too old. My wife is too old. But Mary said, oh let it be done to me.

And don't let me don't let my mind think that any promise of God is too big for me or any plan for my life is too big be it done to me according to your word. But what is God calling you right now? And I want you to turn to the person on your right or your left. I want you to tell them your new name.

Do that right now. It's time for you to get your slate out and write. My name is exclamation point.

My name is evangelist. Missionary. Loving.

Conqueror. Because God doesn't call you what you used to be called. You're born again now by the Spirit of God.

You're adopted into the family of God. You have a new name. Now we're going to stand in just a moment.

And I'm going to ask you to come forward. In faith. With the words be it done to me according to your word.

God would you've spoken to me tonight? What you've whispered to my heart. Now, if you've not heard it yet, you will before the night is out. You'll go home.

And before you go to bed say God, what is my new name? What do you call me? It's not what I call myself. It's not what others have called me. It's not what my family has been called.

What is my name? Because the name he gives you is given according to the plan that he has for your life. What is my name? Is it conqueror? Is it free? Is it victorious? What is the name God that you have given me? We're going to stand in just a moment. And I'm going to give an altar call which means we come forward.

And what you're going to be doing is saying I am coming and I'm going to agree with God tonight. Be it done to me according to your word. Not by might or by power.

And I'm a Zacharias and who's unable to have a child and I'm a Mary who's also unable to have a child. But the power of God will overshadow you. And that which is born in you is born of God.

And it's a testimony to God. And you will have a song and an ability to speak like you've never had before in your life. You'll be living in that realm called faith.

Faith that God will be faithful. God will do in me what he said he will do. I will be what God says I will be.

Hallelujah. I'll not just be singing it. I'm going to live it.

You know, we sing a song. I am who I am because they I am says who I am. Whatever however that goes.

You know what I'm talking. You know the song right? I am who I am because they I am says I am what I am whatever however it goes. It's kind of it's long but it won't be just a song.

It would be real. And you who are older be able to prophesy and tell the young ones who God is and what God is able to do. How he can take you and change your name.

He changed my name. Thank God. Not by might.

Not by human effort. Not by our ability. But what does God call? Does God call? You know, it's amazing.

Years ago. I was a new Christian. I was at home.

We're in bed and I was crying. I wasn't given to weeping but I was crying this night. And Pastor Teresa looked at me said, why are you crying? And I said, well, I am.

I'm reading about this thing called love in the Bible. But to me, it's just a word. I don't feel it for others and I don't feel it for myself.

And I don't know what it is. And she took to me and she prophesied and she said. When you're an older man, you're going to be known for the mark of God's love in your life.

You see so and I can honestly say I stand here tonight and say, I love you. I honestly do love you. Not making it up because I'm preaching.

I do. I really do care. And the thing is that God did that.

I didn't take a course on how to love people. You don't love, you know what I mean? There's no such a thing. God did it.

God did it. Now, I could have resisted it and said, well, I've never I've never really known love. I've never felt loved.

I don't know how to get and I could have just died there. And a lot of people do sad to say, but when she spoke that word into my life, I actually believed it and started to move towards it. And started to hear God saying with me, all things are possible.

I can't tell you when or how but I can tell you I was overshadowed by the power of God and that which I didn't have he gave to me and that which I wasn't he made me into my part was to agree with God not push it away. Not not deny it because nobody in my family had been called that let's put it that way. But just to move towards it.

So tonight as you get up and get out of your seat in just a moment. I'm going to ask you to move towards what God calls you. This is a pivotal moment for some people here tonight.

And I promise you you will never be the same again. You'll be starting on a pathway that only God can take you on. And this is a pathway.

I believe that we need to go on in these last days because we're not meant to be just an argument about the existence of God. We're meant to be a living testimony about the fact that God is real because he transforms us. He gives us life that we could never have in our own strength.

It's been an amazing journey folks. It's been an amazing journey. But I promise you if you will agree with God about who you are now in Christ, you'll never be the same again.

We're going to stand in just a moment. Well stand now. You might as well stand now.

And why don't you just come? Just make your way here. Make your way and let's agree with God. Agree with God tonight.

No, I didn't say go to the parking garage. I said make your way to the altar. In the parking garage all you're going to get is your car.

Do you understand? But down here you're going to get something that only God can give. Praise God. Just come in.

Make room for everybody. Make your way here. Make your way here.

Let's keep coming. Come on. I'll do the bow.
