song, but I felt a real impression of the Lord to give a sermonet tonight to somebody. I was on the sofa just meditating. You can be seated.

I was on the sofa meditating and I turned over to Second Kings chapter 4 and I read a very, very common passage of scripture. about Elisha and a woman who was having some financial problems and just a little bit of oil in her life. But I think I got a new insight.

A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Eli, I'm sorry, cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant," see, her husband was a preacher. Your servant, my husband, is dead. And you know that your servant feared the Lord, and the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.

She owed the creditor money. The man was coming to take her sons to work off the debt. So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you?

Tell me, what do you have in your house?" And she said, "Your maidervant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil. That's all I got. A little jar of oil.

My life has been reduced to a little bit of grease. My sons are about to be taken. My husband is dead.

This is all I got left." Then he said, "Go borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors empty vessels. Do not gather just a few." You know why he told her to borrow them? Because he wanted her to give them back.

And this is what I heard today in prayer and meditation. Some of you may be in here tonight with empty vessels you got from neighbors, friends, bad news, criticism, a hard time on the job today. Neighborhood conflicts.

It could be anything. And it's made you feel empty. And you think, I got just a little bit left.

That's why it's been kind of hard for you to really get into it already because you you just got some emptiness in your life. Just a little bit of oil. Then he said, "Go borrow them.

Get a lot of them. And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you." Welcome to prayer meeting. >> You've brought in some emptiness from that empty world out there.

All you got left is just a little bit of oil left. But God has called us to prayer tonight. >> This is the greatest thing I could do for this church tonight is to call you to prayer >> because some of you really did come in here a little bit empty and worn out and tired.

And some of you know you're saved. There just a little oil left, but you've come in and we've closed these doors behind us. And he said, "Start pouring into the vessels.

And the more you pour and the more you praise and the more you pray, something's going to happen." So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons who brought the vessels to her, and she poured it out. Now it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There's not another vessel." So the oil ceased. Then she came and told the man of God and he said, "Go sell the oil and pay your debt and you and your sons can live on the rest of it." >> Whoever you are that came in in here tonight and this world has given you nothing but emptiness.

You can give it back now. You can say, "I'm done with that because God's about to increase my store of oil. He's going to stoke the fire of my spirit.

This prayer meeting is going to change me before we even pray for the government or the police or the politicians. We need to have our vessels filled. Don't you agree with that?" So now you can stand back up with me and I think you're going to hear a little more volume now guys from these guys out here.

Sing another song if you would hope nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but holy lean on Jesus name. On Christ the solid rock I stand.

All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking. When darkness, I rest on his unchanging grace.

In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All of the around is sinking sand.

His covenant and his blood support me in the whelming flood with all around my soul his way. He then is all my hope and stays. On Christ the solid rock I stand.

All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. On Christ the solid rock I stand.

All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. He shall come with trumpet sound.

Oh, may I then in him be found. Trust in his rightousness alone. Far le to stand before the Lord.

On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.

On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand. All other round is sinking sand.

On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other round is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.

You can be seated. Our God and our father, we're here tonight because you're alive. This would be for nothing if Jesus had not walked out of the tomb.

We're not here tonight begging. We're here confidently. We've come to you with boldness.

We've come to you because you're the only one that can hear and answer prayer. And we come to you obeying you when you told us to pray. We'll speak names tonight, Lord.

people that somehow in your sovereignty found themselves in a place of government authority in a very tempestuous time. People don't just dislike politicians or different people anymore, Lord. They hate them.

And it's a dangerous time because demons are loose and people think nothing of taking human life. So our God and father on this these days before our 250th anniversary celebrating the country you raised up. You raised this country up.

You raised this country up to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. And you raised this country up to protect the nation of Israel. No other nation will.

And for those two reasons, your hand is still on us. I don't take that for granted, Lord. I don't lightly approach the fact that this nation is hanging in the balance and with all of the darkness that's going on and it seems like we're shifting in a direction away from from you, we are still here, God, and we are still calling on your name because with you majority and minority party do not matter >> with you.

One can chase a thousand. So, we're here tonight to pray your word, Lord. And you said through Paul, let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.

There is no authority authority except from God. And the authorities that exist are appointed by God. If you believe that church, say amen.

>> Amen. >> Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. Do you believe that, church?

>> For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same.

For he is God's minister. Do you believe that church? >> He is God's minister.

And there have been some He's I didn't agree with and I don't like, but he is God's minister. minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

Therefore, you must be subject not only because of wrath, but also for conscience sake. That means I'm a Christian. I believe what the Bible says.

Uh sometimes I hear people uh say things that are totally contrary to my faith who are in authority, but but my conscience says you believe he's God's minister for this time. Because of this, you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers, attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due, taxes to whom taxes due to whom taxes are due, custom to whom customs, fear to whom fear, and honor to whom honor.

That's the word of the Lord. So, Father, we're all in a spirit of prayer right now. And we recognize that there is no other group on this earth that can affect you, move you like your church.

And see, we call on you tonight. We call on you to protect those people who are in authority. We call on you to hold back the darkness of those who are mindless, who are full of terror.

God, we pray that you will grant peace and safety while the church continues to preach the everlasting gospel. Father, we pray again 2 Chronicles 7:14. It's on the screen.

Let's everybody read it together. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land. Lord, we pray 1 Timothy chapter 2 verses 1 and two.

Let's read it. I urge then first of all that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all and holiness. Let's Where's Winston?

Is he here? Come on down, Winston. I'm I'm stopping in the middle of this because I want you to pray.

Pray these scriptures and thank you Lord Jesus. Lord, the word is plain. It's active.

It's powerful. And Lord, we just read two scriptures that we need to activate in our own lives. We need to pray for authorities.

Hold them up, Lord. The things that they do and see on a regular basis, on a daily basis, Lord, some of us could not even comprehend. But they're there to protect us.

You sent them. You've given them that purpose. You've given them that reason, God, so that we may be protected, Lord.

Let us not take that for granted, but let us hold them up in honor and in fear. Let's respect them. Lord, we may not agree with everything that's said or done, but Lord, you ordain them.

Father, we must be holy. We must be righteous, Lord. We must come back to you.

Those who have fallen away from uh the walk, the way. Lord, we need to return and see your hand of salvation. >> Lord, it's only by your grace and your mercy that we're not utterly consumed.

It's only by your your daily purpose that we are here, Father, that you've given us the right to live, to breathe, to move, and to have our being in you, Lord. It's only because of you, but yet we fall short. So I say right now, Father, I ask that those who are living apart from you, that haven't returned, that are sitting on the fence, that are teeter tottering, that are in a state of confusion because their walk is not as strong as it needs to be, that they will return yet even tonight.

Let this be the night. Don't let them go another day without the spirit of God drawing them in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord for what you're going to do in the lives of these people in Jesus name.

Amen. >> In Jesus name. >> Could you just take a moment and praise the Lord?

He heard that prayer. >> Thank you Jesus. >> Folks, God answers prayer.

>> Thank you Jesus. >> God answers prayer. I am going to call some of our leaders names tonight.

I never thought I'd see the day when I'm just a little hesitant to do it, but that's the atmosphere we live in now. >> You see, people, as I said to the Lord a while ago, people don't just dislike politicians or people in the other party. They hate.

And that's just not right for a child of God. You cannot do it. First of all, this is not our home.

>> We're just passing through and we're supposed to make a difference while we're passing through. So tonight, Lord, I first of all call the president's name, Donald Trump. Nobody in this room knows what it's like to be in that office, to be under that pressure.

Nobody could possibly understand the confusion, the advice. And so Lord, this man holds a lot of power. We pray first of all for his soul.

>> Someone told me not to judge him. Lord, all I know is fruit. And I'm I'm asking you because your word says if we pray for them and they do right, we will have good and peaceable lives.

>> So Lord, I bring the leader of this nation, the leader of the free world to you. For only you can give anybody this kind of influence. Lord, I pray for those who feel so angry that they can't pray.

And I pray for those who texted me and said, "He is not my president." That's just a bitter spirit, Lord. There's nothing we can do about that. That person has to humble himself before you and realize this is not about him or even the president.

It's about spiritual warfare. >> So, I hold him up tonight. Can I get an amen?

>> Amen. >> I hold up the vice president, JD Vance. Lord.

Uh, very possibly one one he's just one heartbeat away from the presidency. Again, we don't know the pressure there. Lord, he's a man married to a woman of a different religion.

We don't know. But I look up there and I say, "Somehow you uh you arranged this stuff. We don't understand it.

I don't understand it. Lord, I don't have to. I can just obey your word.

>> We pray for him. We pray for our governor, Josh Stein. >> He needs help.

This is a confused state. Lord, I ask you and I call his name. Give him guidance.

He's Jewish. Lord, he doesn't even believe in you. He He has no idea why we would be doing something like this tonight, but we call his name in prayer.

>> You can do anything to anybody. You can do anything for anybody. Dear God, let him be reminded that this is not his, but that he is a servant of the people.

I call Henry McMaster, the governor of South Carolina. Lord, help him. Lord, be with him.

Give him good sense and good judgment. Lord, we pray for our senators, Tom Tillis and Ted Bud. Oh God, these people create laws and make decisions that affect everybody in this country.

So would you find it in your grace and mercy, Lord, to send a ministering angel into those offices? >> Keep out the darkness. Don't let us go any further back than we've gone.

And in South Carolina, Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott. Lord, it almost sounds odd to me that I'm not speaking your name tonight. I I'm I'm talking about human beings in the house of God.

We This is usually about you, Jesus. The Savior and the Lord and the Creator and the But Lord, you told us to bring these people to you. And that's what we do tonight.

We bring them to you. Only you can affect their thinking. Only you can guide.

We read it yesterday in Revelation 17. Lord, you're going to make everybody do everything according to your will. You're going to bring it to pass.

So, here we are, Lord. We come lifting our hands and we come singing. We come with your word in our mouth.

We come in obedience to lift our leaders up. I don't know what else to do, Lord, that would honor you than what we're doing right now. So, we hold them up before you.

And Lord, there are hundreds of others as the speaker of the house. And and it just goes on and on. They they are all in positions of power.

We may not have called their names tonight, Lord, but we pray for our government. >> We pray. We pray.

Almighty God, do a thing in Washington, in Raleigh, in Colombia. do a thing, Lord. And this city needs prayer, too.

>> Lord, I don't know when I th this city has just gone the wrong way. Oh, the the the gay pride uh parades and oh Lord, it's like we stick our finger in your eye. Forgive us, God.

Forgive us. Give us good leadership. Give us good leadership, Lord.

>> Let this city, this southern city, somehow experience a revival. >> Lord, we've got a thousand churches here. Just raise up 50.

>> Just 50 out of a thousand that will have a revival and set the city on fire. Just raise up 50 spiritfilled, anointed men of God. And the whole church said, "Amen." >> Jason, pray a prayer about God.

We're desperate for you. And that's just such a cliche thing for churchy people to say, but Lord, I'm not praying that speaking churchianity. I don't want to speak Christianes.

I'm desperate for you, Lord Jesus. I'm desperate for your Holy Spirit, for a touch from heaven, Lord God, that makes me contagious to the disease-ridden people all around me, Lord Jesus. God, we as a church, we're experiencing something.

We saw those hundreds of people stand before you yesterday joining this church. You're drawing people to this place because you are doing something here, God. And and we can call it revival.

We can call it renewal. We can call it whatever we want, God. But we just want to glorify you.

We want us you we want you to use us, Lord God. We're not here to relax. We're not here to uh be um in a cushy, airond conditioned, beautiful church in South Charlotte.

Lord God, we're we're here to be warriors. We're we're not, as pastor says, warriors, not worriers. Lord, raise up some warriors tonight, Lord God.

for those people that came in kind of feeling like um they were defeated and deflated. Lord Jesus, I just pray you'll inject us with a with a supernatural energy from heaven. God, that we wouldn't deny the fact that you have raised us up for such a time as this, Lord Jesus.

that we wouldn't deny that you have filled us with your Holy Spirit with power, Lord Jesus, for for us to be able to walk into our families, our homes, our b our businesses, our our our vacation spots, wherever you call us to go, Lord God, to do a mighty work in the name of Jesus, Lord God. And whether that's with our actions, with our deeds, whether that's with our words, whether it's just in in silent prayer, Lord God, let us stand as beacons of light because you've raised this church up, Lord God. You've raised our pastor up.

You've raised our staff up and our council members and our music team and our children's ministry, our youth ministry, Lord Jesus. Our missions, Lord God. We see the effects all over the world, Lord God.

But we want to see it even more, Lord. We want to see ourselves as a united vessel, Lord God, being used by you with one voice, as you prayed in John 17, Lord, that we may be perfected in our unity, Lord God. because we're just a bunch of flawed individuals, God.

But we know as you prayed for us, you are in us so that we can be perfected in our unity just as God is in you, oh Lord Jesus. So unite us tonight, Lord God. Unite us, Lord, the way a song unites us.

Unite us, Lord, the way a prayer meeting unites us, Lord. But it's so easy, Lord, to shake off these good feelings as soon as we walk out into that parking lot and remember what's coming ahead of us tomorrow. Lord, I pray that your joy would come in sorrow.

>> Hallelujah. >> That your joy would come in challenge, in difficult times, in poverty, Lord, in disease and sickness. Lord, I don't know how it all works, Lord.

I know that disease sometimes is part of your plan. I don't like that plan, God. I know sometimes homosexuality, you use that as part of your plan, Lord.

I don't like that plan, God. But I submit to it, God. I know sometimes you use death even as part of your plan.

Sometimes a person's time is up and we say they they left too early, Lord, but we know because we've submitted to your plan, God, that you can use those things. So Lord, as we walk out into whatever it is we're facing, maybe it is imminent death, maybe it is lost loved ones, maybe it is a hopeless feeling in our marriages, Lord Jesus, God, marriages here are just so in trouble, God, I just can't believe the number of people, Lord, that are all around us that are just giving up. God, unite us.

Raise us up. put a a fear of God in us, Lord Jesus, that it would be injected into our marriages, into our homes, into our parenting, Lord Jesus. God, no matter where you have us, no matter what you have us to do, Lord God, let us be united in you, Lord God.

Lord, for our government, as pastor prayed, for our president on down to the local leaders on the school board, God Lord, use us to minister to them. Use us, Lord Jesus, to show them what we can accomplish when we're united as one, not under a nation or under a flag, but under the holy word of God and the King of the universe. Unite us, Lord Jesus, under that flag, the flag of heaven, Lord Jesus, and may it become contagious.

May you use the the preaching and the the singing and the missions and the outreach of Central Church, Lord, here at 5301 Sardis Road and it would just become contagious around our towns, around our city, around our state, and this nation in the world. Lord Jesus, we know you've already provided that, Lord. You've already opened up doors where I guess it's hundreds of thousands of people now every week just watching and listening, God.

But now, Lord, you didn't just call us to watch and listen. You you spurred us to action, Lord. So may your Holy Spirit raise up the worldwide central church, not just the the Charlotte Central Church, but the worldwide central church that we would be a beacon again shining your light everywhere we go.

If that's in Loi, Italy, Lord Jesus, or if it's in Gastonia, North Carolina, raise us up. Let us shine our lights for you in unity, perfected in our unity, Lord God. Quick to say we're sorry.

Quick to repent, Lord Jesus. living a lifestyle that is a contrite and broken heart because we know that is what you will not despise, Lord. Lord, don't let my words tonight just be empty words.

Spur me to action, Lord. Search my heart. See if there be any unclean thing.

Reveal it to me, Lord Jesus, that I could be your humble servant. That Lord, if if you call me to step out from behind a piano or put a guitar down and go to those who are hurting and dying, I don't need music, Lord, to be called by you. And Lord, for all of us, Lord, whatever it is that we think we're good at, that we've sort of semi prayed, Lord, I'll go and do that as long as I have this, Lord, let us lay those things down today and just say yes to you wherever you have us to go, Lord, that you may be glorified and honored.

If you don't come back tonight, Lord, tomorrow is another day for us to do your work. >> Amen. >> And we just ask that you would speak that work to us so that we could march into it boldly in Jesus name.

Amen. Jason prayed something that's kind of stung me and he talked about marriages and family and we are under attack nationwide. The family is under attack.

That does not exempt a church either. I get a little militant when I get on this subject because I hate the devil. I hate what he's doing in marriages.

I hate what he's doing to children and parents. this this silly division like kids are saying to their parents, you're toxic to me, so I can't have a relationship with you anymore. That's just devil talk.

Would somebody join me tonight? >> And could we speak to God in a an authoritative way about the marriages in this church and the family situations in this church? Could we pray like we mean business?

Could we pray like every word we say will come to pass? >> If so, would you stand up and would you cry out in your own way for God to save marriages and save families? >> Oh god.

They Great for Yes, Lord. >> Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord.

Yes, Lord. >> Hallelujah. I've said many, many, many times how desperately pulpits should be filled by saved, spiritfilled, anointed people.

Oh God, could you just one more time send a wave of revival through the ministry >> and the lethargy that some have grown accustomed to? Could you stoke a fire in their soul? Joey, he's a visiting pastor.

Give me that mic, please, sir. Yeah, he's a visiting pastor and I'm glad you're here. Pray for pastors and preachers.

>> Father, I love you. Thank you for the blessing of the call that's on my life. I've been asked by many pastors, Lord, in the past, what keeps me going is the call.

Thank you, Lord, for the call that's on my life. Thank you for friends, God, who are in this ministry. Days get long, times get dark.

more than 1500 God a month give up quit God I pray today that you would touch our fellow ministers and let them feel the undergirling of your strength God to to not give up God would you touch them and raise them up lamb of God help us Lord to understand that this is an appointment that comes straight out of heaven and God that you have called us to a high calling to walk worthy of that calling that's upon our lives. I pray God that you would help us all to realize that you have called us. I read it just this week, Lord.

I preached on it yesterday that you have called us to preach and to teach the whole council of God to present the body of Christ perfect to the father. What a weight. What a heavy weight, God, that we deal with people day in and day out, helping them to understand how to walk, God, that you have given to the church, the five-fold ministry to be able to accomplish your will, God, to to help people to work the ministry, to perfect the saints.

And God, I pray that you would help us all as the light of the world, as the salt of the earth. God, would you make us so salty >> that when people leave from amongst us, God, that they're just thirsty for more of you? God, make us so bright with the light of the glory, God, that they're just blinded that they see no man.

But God, I hear your voice and follow you and follow you alone. Help us, God, to speak with conviction and uncction and an anointing that destroys every yoke of bondage. Help us, oh God, to abide in your presence daily, to stay before you, Lord, not get caught up in the traditions of men, the genealologies, the fables, all the heresies, but God, to stay in your presence, to dwell in the secret place, >> yes, >> of the most high and abide under the shadow of the almighty.

>> Hallelujah. >> God, I pray for marriages within ministry. Yes, >> they're tough, God.

It's it's tough. But I believe, God, with all my heart that you're a God that mends the brokenhearted. You forgive the past and removed transgressions as far as the east is from the west, never to be remembered again.

And God, I pray for hurt within pastoral ministry where I know we talk a lot about church hurt for members, but God, there are pastors that have been church hurt. >> Yes. >> And they've walked away from their calling.

God, would you mend that broken heart and God, would you do it for your glory and your glory alone? And I ask it in the name of Jesus. >> In the name of Jesus.

>> Amen. Let's take a moment and bless the Lordless >> from the bottoms of our hearts. We bless you, Jesus.

>> We bless you, Jesus. >> We bless you, Jesus. >> While you're praying, can you come down front?

Just gather with me around the front, please. Hey, James, come on up here, please, sir. if you don't mind.

We bless you, Lord. We bless you, >> church. Can y'all hear me?

Can you hear what I'm saying? I got excited about coming tonight cuz I knew I know that when anybody makes an effort to draw near to God, God's going to draw near to them. >> Can you hear me in the corner?

>> Amen. You made an effort to come this evening, God never ignores that. Are you listening to me?

>> I'm trying to tell you, if you made an effort, God will bless the effort. >> Every sacrifice brings a blessing from the Lord. You might not feel it right now, but I'm telling you, God has a blessing stationed for you somewhere at the moment you need it the most.

The Lord is going to say, "Yeah, I saw you get up and get ready to go to prayer meeting when you felt like going to bed. Yeah, you were all depressed. Yeah, you didn't even get to eat, but you came to my house anyway.

Boy, have I got a blessing for you. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.

Boy, have I got a blessing for you. Come on up here, James." Everybody loves James and Paul. I don't know where Paula is, but you may not know it.

They almost got killed. >> They were in a terrible, terrible accident. Paula's When was her surgery?

>> Last Thursday. >> Last Thursday. Here's what I thought.

If anybody's got any passion tonight to pray. James might have some cuz you saw the car coming before it hit you. >> Yeah.

>> And it tore your car up. It tore your wife's hand up. You could have been killed.

But here you stand. >> Thank you, Jesus. >> Here you stand.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. >> Where is she?

Come on up here, Paula, cuz we Everybody loves y'all. Come on. And I want to say thank Thank you, Jesus.

>> Cuz we would have lost two real jewels. >> Amen. >> Here.

>> Car was totaled. Everything torn up. It was awful, wasn't it?

Blood everywhere. >> Everywhere. But here you are, God.

>> But God, go ahead and pray. >> Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah.

>> Lord, I just want to thank you for your provision. >> Thank you, >> Lord. I want to thank you for showing me what a real church family is.

>> Lord, the love and support that we have gotten has been overwhelming, Lord. But only you, Lord. It wasn't our time, Lord.

And thank you, Jesus. Lord, we were driving down 77 on our way to a family gathering. Lord, I looked in the rearview mirror and I saw a car coming.

I I didn't say anything to Paul initially because I just said maybe he's going to move, the closer he got to, I looked over her and I said, "Brace yourself. This car is going to hit us and we're probably going to see Jesus today. >> But God, you had a different plan for us.

Hallelujah. We got knocked all the way to the inside lane. A we did a circle.

The car another car knocked us to the outside lane. We hit the guardrail and almost went over the guard rail. The airbag deployed and Paula put her hand up and split her hand open.

But Lord, I just want to say right now, you called us to serve. And that's what we will do for the rest of our days. Amen.

the rest of our days, Lord, with every breath in our bodies, Lord, everything that we can do to be the hand and feet of Jesus. >> Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. >> We want to touch as many people as we can through whatever ministry you give us, Lord.

Whatever you call on us to do, Lord, because we saw death that close, but you snatched it right out of our hands. >> Yes, Jesus. >> Because you had more for us to do.

But I'm so thankful, Lord. And all I could think about at that time was, we're going to be with you, but then my son is not going to have any parents. >> Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Lord, if that's your will, I know you'll take care of it. We're ready. If you're ready for us, God, but if you're not, we will we'll raise up.

we will get out of this situation and then we will follow you the rest of our lives, Lord Jesus. >> Thank you. >> And I thank you and praise you >> for your Holy Spirit, Lord, that dwells within us, Lord.

>> Yes. >> And I thank you for how when the car finally stopped, Lord, you pulled us right out of the flow of traffic on the side of the road like we had just pulled over for a rest break. Lord, only you could do that, Jesus.

>> Hallelujah. Oh my god. >> Amen.

>> Hallelujah. >> Amen. >> Thank you, Lord.

>> Lord, as I look across this congregation, there are so many people that have touched our lives in so many ways, Lord. And I just pastor, you just don't know. Thank you, Jesus.

>> Thank you, Jesus. >> The thought of not being able to be here and just >> Thank you, Jesus. >> Be part of this ministry on Sunday mornings, Lord.

>> It was devastating. Thank you for what you poured into us, Lord, that we can pour it back out to people, Lord Jesus. >> And here's what I want to pray.

I brought them up here because I'm asking the Lord to let me have the kind of desperation. >> Realize how life is but a vapor >> and I need to en >> enjoy every moment. >> I need to serve the Lord every day of my life.

>> We're not on vacation. >> We could be called home at any moment. Could >> any moment?

Yes. >> So, it's time to live aggressively. It's time to live in the spirit.

walk in the spirit. >> And so, Lord, while they're all standing here and even those watching online, I pray in the name of Jesus that we will suddenly feel a sense of commitment and desperation. Uh urgency, that's the word, urgency >> about our walk with you, Lord Jesus.
