SM170226/The Power of One!

Harvest messages are brought to you by harvest partners receive free email daily devotions were to become a harvest partner, please visit us online@harvest.org. All I will back in our world changers series that we are going to be looking today at one passage of Scripture Exodus chapter 32 center there with me if you would Exodus 32 a final look at the life of Moses and the title of my message is the power of one, it is 1994. I just find a book with a major Christian publisher. This was a first for me and I suddenly found myself surrounded by some very well-known authors and speakers to have been writing for quite a long time so this publishing company wanted to do a little bus to work. Actually was more like a metaphorical bus tour because we only had one stop with a thought that because of a clever thing wrong on a bus together and so weak we all boarded the bus meeting the other well-known Christian authors and an older African-American woman was boarding the bus and she looked familiar to me and I have someone who is that lady and they said all that's Rosa Parks will Rosa had written a book with the with all of us as well as await Rosa Parks. You mean Rosa Parks, the civil rights legend yeah Rosa problem.

I couldn't believe it. Got it. Want to talk to the stupid preachers I wanted to talk to Rosa Parks and so here's the irony I'm talking to Rosa Parks on the bus and the you know your history. Of course she distinguished herself. It was in 1955 when the South was segregated black people were forced to use separate drinking fountain separate restrooms, they would have the sign colored over them horrible time in the history of our country and they are expected to sit in the back of the bus will Rosa Parks courageously refused to sit at the back of the bus and she took a rightful place in the front of the bus and she made history. She was later called the first lady of civil rights and she was also awarded the Congressional Gold medal. By the way, the highest honor given to civilians. Hear him. With Rosa Parks on a bus. We were in the back where in the middle. Actually, but I had to hear the story and she was very gracious and took the time to talk with me and what I was not aware of was her very strong faith in Christ and effect in one of her books that you wrote called quiet strength. She wrote these words every day before supper before we went to services on Sundays. My grandmother would read the Bible to me. My grandfather would pray. We even had devotions before going to pick cotton in the fields. She says burn the Bible became a part of my everyday thoughts and beliefs. I learned to put my trust in God and seek him as my strength so that's what gave Rosa the courage to make a stand. You know it's been said character is not made in crisis. It is revealed, I think her for the stand she took. I wish I got a photo at one of my mind. She's since gone on to be with the Lord, but it just made me stop and think about the power of one how one person can make a difference. There's a song from years ago. The lyrics are one of the loneliest number that you will ever know that all depends because one with God is a majority. One Christian making a stand in a given situation can change everything around them. I once heard it said, I am only one, but I am one.

I cannot do everything that I could do something what I can do.

I ought to do what I ought to do. By the grace of God I will do listen to this one godly man or woman in the darkest situation can make a dramatic difference. Jesus said you are the salt of the earth. But what good assaultive it's lost its flavor.

It's really good for nothing but to be walked on. I was in a restaurant yesterday with my wife and her dad is now 92 years old and so we ordered fish and it looked great. I got a black and I love to get fish blackened. I know how they did this. There was no flavor in this fish like zero flavor funk sprinkling salt all over my fish and some pepper trying to get some flavor there. Somehow, because that's what salt does it sort of enhances flavor a little pinch of salt like in your oatmeal will take it to the next level right tried on some channel of just a little bit not too much, too much salt to be overkill and it can wreck a meal. My wife may be an omelette the other day she makes. By the way, the best omelette on earth.

Kathy Lori owns the omelette.

Just know that market at this place right here anyway so she maybe one of her great omelettes and it was in so I put salt on and then she put salt on it so it was too salty so I didn't know she put salt on it a little salt goes a long ways. I was in a restaurant years ago with a friend. I put that in quotes because of what he did to me but I went to the restroom. He came back and he thought it would be funny to almost born entire salt shaker in the my Ice-T and so I took a big gulp before I swallowed it. I realize what he had done it in my mouth is just over this horribly salty water. I'm not going to swallow it.

That's I can happen. I'm not going to spit it on the floor so I have drunk glass of water and I spit it in there. Sorry I did that spit in the water and I called him a dog and we went over the conversation and then I had to leave in a civil goodbye and as I go to leave, he just took two large gulps of his Ice-T, and then a sharp look was on his face. He had not drunk his Ice-T. He had drunk mice spit out salty, tea, water, and I said it serves her right, your sin will find you out and you'll reap what you sow boom little salt goes a long way in a little light goes a long way. Try pulling your cell phone on the theater every I will go to it one person to make all the difference out there and here's the thing, I don't know where you are right now, but maybe you're in a place you don't necessarily want to be you don't know why your in the setting that you're in right now why did I end up in this neighborhood with that neighbor. Why did I end up in this classroom with that teacher. Why did he end up in this workplace.

With this boss or this person that works next to me.

Why did they end up where I am. I wish I wasn't in this place. Did it ever occur to you that God put you right where you are for a reason, a beautiful young woman found herself as the queen of Persia at a strategic time in the history of the Jewish people because the plot was hatched for them all to be exterminated and she was oblivious to this and her uncle Mordechai said to Queen Esther, who knows that God is not place you where you are for such a time as this. And I suggest the same is true of you and the same is true of me. We want to go out there and make our stand trying to get out of where we are to borrow a 60s saying Bloom where you are planted, except that I'm here because God has put me here 11 to do the best job that I can destroy my life for Jesus Christ.

How many of you have heard of Billy Graham, Richard most of you. How many of you vertical bright bright. Not as many.

He found a Campus Crusade for Christ at the privilege of getting to know Bill Bright and of course Billy is RAM as well and also here's another name. How many of you heard of Henrietta mirrors richer in Henrietta mirrors almost no one yelled Jake was.

Henrietta mirrors okay.

She's an interesting lady.

She was still called by the Lord to teach a Sunday school class at the First Presbyterian Church in Hollywood in 1928.

Under her direction. Her class grew from 400 to 4000. That's a big Sunday school class. Everybody wanted to hear her speak.

She ended up donning Gospel light publishing in the forest so conference center. What's interesting about the impact of Henrietta mirrors is over 400 young people entered full-time Christian service. As a result of the impact of her life, including Bill Bright and Billy Graham.

So maybe you're not a Billy Graham which you could be a Henrietta mirrors a little light goes a long way one like to make a difference again to quote that statement. I'm only one, but I am what I cannot do everything that I can do something. What I can do. I ought to do what I ought to do.

By the grace of God I will do. How many of you have heard of Sammy Mason richer antinomies.

Almost no one well okay Sammy Mason was a stunt pilot and and a committed follower of Jesus Christ and he would teach people to apply a fly out of the Santa Paula Airport. One day a man came to him and said he wanted to learn to fly this man had bought an antique Stearman biplane and it turns out that this man's name was Steve McQueen and at that point Steve McQueen was the number one movie star in the world and he had conquered auto racing in motocross and now we want to learn how to fly and it also turns out that Steve had been searching for his entire life for the meaning and purpose of life he was raised by an alcoholic mother that have little to no time for him.

He also never knew his biological father. He spent time at Chino boys Republic because his parents is especially his mother wanted nothing to do with the meat. Live the crazy life he ascended to the top of the hill in the world of Hollywood and was making millions of dollars. Not everything a person could want. But there was a big hole in his heart, and it just came. At the time when you want to learn auto fights was written here hours in the cockpit with Sammy Mason, Sammy Mason was a man's man can of the salt of the earth guy that Steve admired him and Steve SME.

What is your secret your different you seem to get a piece.

Sammy told Steve about his faith in Jesus Christ and Sammy's faith was so strong. Steve actually asked can I go to church with you found it interesting that that Sammy invited them. It seems that can I go to church with you, Sammy agreed the ended up at the Ventura missionary church and Ventura, California, and the pastor there Leonard to wear the white met and interviewed spoken preach the gospel and at the end of the services he would invite people to Christ. Just like we do and does so one day after a few weeks of passing her. The McQueen was coming to his church. He just told the people he Malone the bother of donors for autographs. McQueen came and said I want to talk with you and they had an extended conversation which resulted in Steve McQueen committing his life to Jesus Christ. Okay so the power of one so you pretty Steve McQueen. You probably haven't heard of Sammy Mason diverted Billy Graham, you haven't heard of Henrietta mirrors doesn't matter will have a part to play well of something to do with all of the spirit of influence. We wanted to what we can do while we can do it because you may be the only Christian that some people will ever know you're the only one, and you are representative of Christ. It's been said that Christians are walking up epistles written by God and read by men you may be the only Bible some people every and so I want to look now at the power of one, one man who impacted millions of people. One man who through his godly life of integrity Two and a half-million from turning to idolatry. I'm talking about Moses, the man of God. That's all he was right. Moses, the man of God may that be said of us, not just by casual acquaintances, but by her family and close friends. Those who know us well as I would need you once and says there man of God. That's one thing but if your wife is your Amana God, man, you're good to well if your husband says your Amana God that that's excellent. If you can't say you're a man or a woman of God that significant if you will know you well and spend time with you said that is the highest compliment that can be paid. Moses, the man of God, and you know what Moses, the man of God left the scene literally all hell broke loose with Despicable Me last couple of time last time you remember that Moses had gone into the court of Pharaoh and demanded the release of the June, Pharaoh refused. He hardened his heart a series of plagues came upon Egypt. Finally he acquiesced in the Jewish people were now free and they went out into the wilderness and have their first Passover meal together well as are making their way to their new land the Lord directs them right to the edge of the Red Sea, so behind them was the desert and from them of front of them was a Red Sea sort of a cup between a rock and a hard place in the Pharaoh heard about this and decided he was going to kill all of them.

So I got the Egyptian army ready and they went and saw the Israelites to know were crossing through the Red Sea. That event parted as Moses told his staff up and the Egyptians thought they would get them in. They didn't bargain on the waters closing in on them and drowning.

All of them. So now the Israelites have been delivered from Egypt, and God has this amazing GPS system for the member fire by night cloud by day, when the cloud moved they moved when it stopped. They stop. In addition to this the Lord for them every day, a supernatural substance that would fill their bellies. Called Manna they would have met up for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You get up in the morning and they're waiting right outside your tent was fresh. Manna by the way, comes from the Hebrew word Crispo Primo we get our English phrase Krispy Kreme from know that I made that Allah battalion was delicious so they had GPS again. Amazing food there. The Lord himself guiding them but then something went wrong, horribly wrong.

They turned away in mass and indicates $10 and idolatry, worshiping a golden calf which reminds us that miracles will not necessarily guarantee godly living. I mean every day receiving your mentor that was a miracle. Having the Red Sea parted to let you and your family through that was a miracle than close in the Egyptian army. Another miracle, everything was a miracle would just say turned this false God. So here was the problem it was the fact that they had a shallow and superficial faith.

I don't think their first idle was the golden calf.

I think their first idle was Moses himself.

They allowed Moses, the man of God to take her place of the true and living God, and we can do the same thing and is not necessarily the fault of the person that we may make an idol in our heart. It says that we have our values out of whack and so we think that person walks on water.

We think that a person is perfect and then when they show humanity vulnerability weakness and even sinfulness were shocked will put anyone in the place of God. This is shown by the fact that when Moses left to receive the 10 Commandments. Everything just fell apart.

In other are some people that really walk with God and I put that in quotes because someone else does. Printed said husband comes a church because his wife comes to church and he's there to please her or the kids go to church because mom and dad want them to go to church or people go to a church to hear some preacher that draws a lot of crowds okay but here's the problem.

Maybe one day that woman doesn't want to go to church anymore. So now the husband will stop or the parents are going to the kids. Whether preacher doesn't live up to the hype or whatever people expect him to be and then some even turn away from their faith know we need to be careful and let the Lord all that place in our life.

Not any other person.

So here's what happened to the Israelites. Exodus 32, one.

They're waiting on Moses when the people saw how long it was taking Moses to come back down the mountain. They gathered around Aaron, they said make us some gods who can lead us. We don't know what happened to this fellow Moses who brought us here from the land of Egypt.

Interesting.

Instead of recognizing it was the Lord through Moses would love them out of Egypt. They thought it was Moses himself and as soon as Moses was gone.

There were looking for something to take his place again. Moses was their first title of the golden calf was the second idle in effect, there's a little we we need something we can talk to me. Moses was the guy grabbed by the arm we could voice our complaints to him we could pat him on the back when he's not here so we need some tangible thing. We cannot relate to an invisible God. We need an object.

We need the thing we need something that we can look to to help us and that's where the golden calf comes in and now we can be critical of Moses.

But really, we should not because it was his integrity and influence of Them from doing this. In fact, Moses, the man of God should be commended, emulated, and follow, he demonstrates the power of one. How did he do it number one. He was a man of personal integrity.

He was a godly manner. Personal integrity he Over 2 million people from idolatry by living a godly life.

Let me ask you this to you a personal integrity to have character. I did ask you if you are a character asked you if you have character DL Moody, the great evangelist, a fine characteristic what you are in the dark. I actually came across an interesting article in Forbes magazine, which is really oriented toward those in business and the headline was successful come and go, but integrity is forever, that that was a good opening statement so I read this article and it said, among other things, integrity means doing the right thing at all times under all circumstances, whether or not anyone is watching goes on to say. Building integrity takes years.

But it only takes a second to lose culture building integrity takes years.

But losing it can take only seconds. Billionaire Warren Buffett when he is looking for people to hire looks for three quality number one integrity number two intelligence and third energy. He says whether they learn of the first one. The other two will kill you. I mean you can have energy, you can have intelligence, but if you don't have integrity, you don't have really much at all. Moses had integrity. He was Moses, the man of God when he is out of the picture. Look what happens. You know what Aaron just did a bad job, and how did Aaron even getting this position because Moses wanted him there.

We got to know Moses and said I want you to go to the Pharaoh and demand the release of my people. Moses was like no way, Lord I I'm not a good speaker.

I have a private speech. Speech impediments. I don't want to do this. Lord I tell you what, I'll make you a deal. Moses said to God, let me bring Aaron with me. He is he is articulate. He has the gift of gab he could do all the talking alerts of RI, so he agreed with this is not God's real plan and no one Aaron slept in charge. He was like the worst babysitter ever. Years ago, when our son Christopher was around 15. We asked him to babysit his younger brother Jonathan, 10 years younger. So Jonathan just a little guy and we went down to San Diego so we called to see how everything was going and Jonathan answers the phone and he could barely talk at this point.

Recent Jonathan worst Christopher he's asleep will go wake him up like seem like 10 minutes go by, we, because back. He still sleeping. I said, Jonathan Goldberg and ship your brother in the face hit him in the face as I know little you think of her, but he may wake up to go get a Québec. He still sleeping okay.

Jonathan I will and I said this to know my wife I said go get a little caught you know your cop, dip it in the toilet because he could reach the water support in Christopher's face had to wake up. He said he still not waking up.

We are miles away and this little boy is walking around the house with his brother asleep so we need some folks out of the police department. We have some of the go and check. So they came to my house. All the doors were locked. They finally broke open my garage door came in. Christopher woke up looking a cop staring at him, so that was a wake-up call right but you know something enjoy some of the dues and they don't do that job. You're hoping they would do right.

So here is Aaron left in charge of the of July. It's okay, Aaron. Look, God's calling me up to Mount Sinai up yonder there. Dominic got their number and receive the commandments continued to give a small problem Moses. I got it covered. And so while he's gone, the people come to Aaron and say hey you know we need something we can worship and Aaron says bringing all of your goals. Bring me all of your bling okay so he takes all the goalie melts, it makes it in the shape of a calf and says this is your God that brought you out of Egypt and numbing mongers Moses up on the mountain and is getting ready to return. And this is what he sees. Exodus 32 verse 21 Moses comes down and demands what did these people do to make you bring such terrible sin upon them. Hey, don't be so upset. Aaron says you know how evil these people are, they said, make us gods will lead us. We don't know what happened to this fellow Moses who brought us from the land of Egypt. So I said whoever is gold jewelry to get off. They brought it to me and I threw it into the fire and out came this calf yet that's exactly how it happens.

One a lot. He was the one that says you bring your golf.

He was the one that melted it.

He was the one that made it in the shape of a calf and he was the one that said, here is your God Israel worship. It is widely worshiping a golden calf because they came from Egypt in Egypt was like idle central right so they had all these images that they worship them.

They were used to this sort of thing and so they were averted back to this and really Aaron also shows the power of one, but he shows the power of a bad example to one man living a godly life.

Had a great influence, one man living a compromise life had a horrible influence.

First, the lies he says well we threw it in the fire and out came this. What is the link Moses is the complete idiot. That's not even a good excuse was George Washington there said quote it's better to offer no excuse than a bad one. Aaron initiated it, he was responsible, and that's the second thing he didn't take responsibility for his action. It was his watch and he help the people with this idolatry. He should've stopped them called and refused, and to make matters worse erupted in religious jargon to do away with the guilt would diversify the taxes 32 and made a proclamation and said tomorrow is the feast of the Lord in this feast of the Lord universe of an idol in your calling it a feast to the Lord and then we read in verse six he rose early, offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. They sat down to eat and drink, and rose up play of the still happens you will do our little token spiritual thing and I'm amazed it will go along with our meals or we better see Greg's some people freak out if you forget Greg's cyclase of sorry tales.

Let's pray thank you Lord. I mean, I encourage of the sacred.

I encourage you to give thanks before your meal with us at the end of the world. If you do it at the end of the meal that maybe you should wait till the end of the meal, deceive, it's worth thanking God for not. I have had some burnt offerings come my way in the I'm joking.

It's good to give thanks, before you get things during you can give thanks after you know she'll okay relax again this gives think that's the main thing the people fixated on something like that and then the go commit gross you take the scroll can have a meal. Let's pray Lord bless the food away what's happening. The rest of the night to triplets of the diner to go get drunk and maybe to have sex God does want to hear your grace, God want you to repent. You see my point A burnt offering to the Lord Lord saying I'm not here in the burnt offering.

All I'm saying is you guys worshiping a golden calf is a fascinating passage over in Amos 523 were God says take away from me, your noisy songs and your stringed instruments. I don't want to hear many more. Did you know they can come up when we hear singing praises to the Lord. Think I would say stop already. I want to hear, but I'm singing so beautiful I don't care because your lifestyles contradicting what you're singing and what you're doing is offensive to me kissing it offends me, God is actually saying. So that's what's happening here worshiping the goalie of all that we offer the burnt offering God save I don't want your burn offering INC don't want you to worship false gods. I want to love me with all of your hearts. You see, what a contrast Moses and Aaron are Moses sets an example that the people can follow Aaron set a bad example Moses is known for his decisive illness conviction and doing what is right. Aaron is known for his indecisiveness, his week will and wanting to get in to see he didn't want to offend, and sometimes were afraid to make a stem because we don't want to offend. Well, you know, I am looking to stand up for that.

You just cannot go along with the program don't do that make a stand. The power of one Rosa Parks, Henrietta Mears, Billy Graham, Moses make a stand doing this right now.

What is easy. Sometimes when you do what is right.

It's very hard it's been said, quote a good leader takes people when they don't necessarily want to go but when they get there.

They're glad they went like that stated a leader takes people were.

They don't necessarily want to go home when they get there.

They're glad they went a leader does what is right, a man or a woman of integrity. Does the right thing.

If someone is watching or not. See when Aaron was with Moses. He was godly."

When he wasn't with Moses.

He was pretty on godly, and he gave in and led them in this sin. Sometimes were the same way you know more around strong believers were strong kind of the moment we get away from them. What we just crumble with this collapse, we just given hey find strong believers to be around, and in time you need to be that strong believer, you need to be that person. The group of people to sign an agreement that because the Bible says no I don't get to go along with that, for this is not the right think you make your stand for what is right. Trust me, God will bless you for that.

The power of one. I am only one, but I can do something when I'm in a do I want to do that so do what you can do I mention Sammy Mason earlier, and he played a key role in the conversion of Steve McQueen. I don't think Steve would've ever heard Pastor Leonard to wit if you didn't find a man he could connect to Amanda just lived a man that Stephen Meyer ever sees this analogy this last summer at the harvest Crusade. I told the story of Steve McQueen and because I became very interested after watching the documentary film about him and talk all about his hard childhood which I was very shocked to find parallel of my childhood almost identically. We both had alcoholic mother's. We both never knew her biological father. We both went searching for her biological father. He ended up in a reform school. I ended up in the military school and that we both got into drugs and so forth. And he went one when I went the other and we both ultimately came to faith in Christ was they learn more about his real story.

I was fascinated like well why is the story never been told and that and then when I used it is just a sermon illustration I got a lot of response from it so it got me really interested so I was able to track down the man who actually led Steve the Christ pastor Leonard to wit, who I found that we had met earlier. We did a Crusade in Ventura some years ago and that so I interviewed Leonard found out more than outright told the story the men were actually flew Steve down to Mexico because after Steve came to Christ was walking with the Lord for six months. He found out he had cancer mesothelioma and the advanced stages and does so we ended up going to Mexico for surgery and I found out that the men who flew them down there attended our church and he told me the whole story and Billy Graham came to Stephen prayed with him and gave him his Bible because Stephen misplaces bottlers a lot of interesting things in the story so II had this crazy thought we should make a documentary film about this thing. It's never been told before this story, so I called my friend John Irwin whose director he directed the film Woodlawn member Woodlawn really good director so I I'd like this.

I just crazy but here's the idea. Like in three minutes. She says I get it I get. Let's do it. So we start like quickness. This, together we start interviewing people that were a part of the story, and now this film is in production and it's a documentary film. This film will release later on this year it's called Steve McQueen the salvation of an American icon, and the purpose of doing this is not just to do a film it's to tell a story that very few people of heard for those that know him and even those that don't. They will as they see this project and ultimately it's to give me an opportunity to present the gospel and organist shoulders in a thousand theaters on one day around the United States and will be like the harvest America in the movie theater and also people will bring their friends to see this film and then we will invite them to Christ right there in the theater and also were praying that God will really use this attracts a lot of life. So, as a researcher story. I've also written a book of the same title, Steve McQueen, the salvation of an American icon that's in the final edits right now so this book and this film will be coming out later this year and were praying that it will be an evangelistic tool that can impact people and again as I was writing this story.

I was just so amazed at how paralleled with my own story so I will a lot of my story in there and told some things about my own life. I've never shared before as I learn more about Stevenson.

Ultimately we both came to the same conclusion and the answer is Jesus Christ is the answer for every person everywhere always has been always will be no tonight the Oscars are on television, so will watch all the Hollywood people get up and pontificates in tell us why they don't like the presidents in the talk about this and talk about that nobody given their golden idol.

No, I mean the Oscar the golden Oscar he maybe for some it is an idol of the little object fueled your hand, it's quite a thing to win that very few people have them and then what you know Steve is a number one movie star in the world and he saw the emptiness and futility of all of it completely disconnected and went on a search for meaning and that led him to hear the gospel and committed his life to Jesus Christ. Look, there is nothing this world offers that can fill a hole in your heart in your life that was designed to be filled by God and God alone. You are sort of pre-wired this way and this is why everything were looking for is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ and Jesus came to this earth. He died on the cross for our sin, he rose again from the dead. Now he stands at the door of each of our lives and the nonsense visible hear his voice and open the door he'll come in and I wondered to not today as we close the service. If you've ever asked Jesus to come into your life. You know you're here because you came with your wife or your husband or your parents or somebody else you don't even really want to be here that much. But you're here and here's what I'm saying. Are you ready to really come into our relationship with God.

You can live off someone else's relationship with God.

God has no grandchildren, only sons and daughters in the way you become a child of God is by believing the Bible says, for as many as received him, he gave them the power to become sons of God, you have to receive him, you have to ask him to come into your life. You need your own relationship with God, and you can have it today and he will never let you down. He will never disappoint you.

He will never abandon you, he will never leave you or forsake you. He will be there for you to help you find the meaning and purpose in life you been searching for. And best of all, give you the absolute assurance of an afterlife in heaven, and all you need to do is pray to God I'm sorry for my sin. I want Christ to come in the my life or for some of you may be that a fallen away.

You need to come back to the Lord, he will receive you but you must return the God says return to BU backsliding children and I will heal you in a moment going to pray a domino extend an invitation for you to ask Christ to come of your life or for you to make a recommitment to Jesus and if you need to do that. Do it now. As we pray okay it's all foreheads. Father, thank you for your word to us.

Thank you for sending Jesus to die for us than to rise again from the dead Lord Jesus we pray that your Holy Spirit noble work here in this place in the hearts of people that they'll see their need for you know what I had to about in her eyes are closed and were praying. How many of you would say today. Greg, I need Jesus Christ. I want him to forgive me of my sins, I want that big hole in my heart filled.

I want to know that I'll go to heaven when I die.

Pray for me if you want Jesus to come of your life if you want him to forgive you of your sin if you want to go to heaven when you die, would you raise your hand up wherever you are and I'll pray for you. God bless God bless you, bless each one hands are going up all around the room. I hope yours is one of them. Only you can make this decision. The person who came here with you today. The church they can make it for you.

I can't make it for you. Only you can say Jesus come in the my life. Anybody else you want is forgiveness. You want your guild taken away. Raise your hand up when we pray for you wherever you are, publish some of your watching on the screen right now, would you raise your hand to know I can see you but the Lord sees you take a little step of faith and say yeah I need Christ in my life. Pray for me were of you are raise your hand know I be some of you that you know are raised in a Christian home and you know it's right but you walked away from it.

You need to come back to the Lord, or you made a commitment to Christ.

But you gonna stray your prodigal son or daughter and you need to come home again if you need to return to the Lord today. If you need to make a recommitment to Christ, would you raise your hand up wherever you are, let me pray for you right need to make a recommitment to Christ, blasts anybody else publish, publish, if you're watching the screen.
