I don't have a complicated message today — that's okay — but I have a good message. I have a good message. I have a message of Hope. Luke 6: 7: and the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the Sabbath day, that they might find an accusation against him. That interesting: they show up, and they have faith enough to expect a healing. They had wrong intentions, but they had faith enough to say: he's probably going to heal today. Let's go check it out and see if we can catch him doing something wrong. But he knew their thoughts, cuz God always knows your thoughts. In our opening scripture — I was reading it — it's interesting drama that I feel like is unfolding here. And there's, there's multiple ways you can take it. There was someone who had faith enough to stretch out his hand, and God met his need. It was there. But I feel like there's a bigger story. This, this incident in the ministry of Jesus, to me, is a time in which he's having a dispute with the Pharisees about the law. It appeared that they were more interested in keeping the letter of the law, but in reality they were only trying to find a way to accuse Jesus of breaking the law. Why? Because they wanted to stop his ministry. But as I read the passage, I see Jesus asking a question that, in my opinion, far outshined anything else that was going on there. He had a, he had a particular concern. He wanted to know: is it lawful on the Sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? To save life, or destroy it? Is it lawful to save life? Now we look at this, and if you've been around and studied scripture at all, you know that they had a lot of self-righteousness, and they felt like keeping the law was far greater than any other thing there was. It was all about the law. It was not about the life. It was about the law. I'm going to say that again: it was about the law. It was not about life. And Jesus came to point back to the life that was there. He was trying to make a point, that there was something of worth that was here. Is it possible that God sees something deep down in the heart of a man or a woman — something precious, something of value, something of worth, something worth saving — that he's trying to bring to our attention today? That you are valuable to him. Is there something of worth in you today? Is there something that can cause a holy God to reach down to an Unholy Sinner, and to wrap them on his loving arms, and say: I desire a relationship with you? Is it possible for you and I to understand the value that, that we have to our God? Yes sir. Do you know that he loves you? Do you know that God loves you? Do you know that? Do you really know that he loves you? Can you comprehend that he loves you? Can you look past your mistakes and your failures? Can you look past your shortcomings and your circumstances? Can you, can you look past the labels and the things that have been done to you? Can you look past those for just a minute, and know that God loves you? Do you know that God loves you? I'm asking you to think about this for just a minute. I can't move past this until I feel in my spirit that we have the majority of the room who understands: God loves you. Do you know that God loves you? Do you know that God loves you? Do you know there has never been anything that has disqualified you from his love? Do you know that God loves you now, as much as he has ever loved you? Do you know that God loves you? Do you know that God loves you? Because I feel like if you knew, knew that God loved you, would be acting a little bit different. You would not be downcast. You would not be — you would not be cast down. You would not be depressed. You would not be anxious. If you could really understand and comprehend that regardless of what you're facing in your life, and what you're overwhelmed with In This Moment, regardless of what has come against you — God loves you. That's the best thing I can say today, is that God loves you. He loves you. He loves you. He loves you. He loves you. God loves you. God loves you. Go — do you know that God loves you? He loves you. He, he's crazy in love with you. God loves you. Did you know that? Did you think about that this morning when you got up, that there's something special about you? Look at your neighbor and say: there's something special about you. Some of you are smiling because you're sitting beside somebody who's extra special. I — how, I didn't mean, if you go, yeah, there's something special. Are you all right? That's what I'm talking about, right? There's something special about you. Something that is so unique and so wonderful and so powerful, that he would die for you, regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not. It does not change how he feels about you. He's crazy in love with you. And he has been relentlessly pursuing you from the moment you drew your first breath. When he was nailed to a cross, he was forgiving those who were doing it, and said: they don't know what they're doing. Forgive them, Father. He had you in mind. Can you comprehend that kind of love? That he would be reaching for you, not knowing whether or not you would return any affection at all. And he said: you know what, I love them in spite of that. In spite of their failures. In spite of their shortcomings. In spite of all the times they'll turn their back on me and run away from me. I'm in love with them. What an amazing God we serve, who loves us. But why? Why has anybody besides me had that thought: God, why do you love me? Why do you love me, me? Why would you care about me? I know me. I know me pretty well. I'm with me most all the time. I know how I think. I know what I like. I know what I don't like. I know what I do, and I know what I don't do. I know what I'm good at, and I know what I should never try. All that's hand, the information to have. And then like, and then when I think about all that, when I begin to process all of these things that make me, me, it begs me to question: God, why would you love this? God, I'm no good. I fail you. I make mistakes. I don't always treat people nice. I have thoughts that I shouldn't have, and I do things that I shouldn't do. God, why would you love me? Why would you be so patient with me? Why would you be so kind? Why would you, why would you continue to pursue after me? Why would you give me second and third and Fifth and 100th and 300th chances? God, why would you do that? I don't deserve it. God, I don't deserve your love. I don't deserve your kindness. I don't deserve your affection. I don't deserve the things you do for me. God, why would you love me? Am I the only one that thinks that? Am I the only one has ever had that thought? Am I the only one that, when I read Romans chapter 5, says: for when you were without Strength, In Due Time Christ died for the ungodly. That's me. That's me. And here's a secret: that's you. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die. Yet pre-event for a good man will some even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, and that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be safe from the Wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son, how much more, being reconciled, shall be saved by his life? And not only so, but also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom now we have received atonement. Jesus was on a mission. And it was a mission to save. Did you hear what I said? That Jesus is on a mission to save. He says: I came to seek — in Luke 19 — and save that which was lost. What was he referring to? What was he talking about? What was lost? You and I were lost. The relationship with God was lost. That was what took place in the garden, when Adam and Eve messed up and they sinned. The relationship with God was broken. Jesus came to restore the relationship back. He came to say: you're too caught up in the law, that you've made my relationship impossible. I'm here to tell you: is it right to save on the Sabbath, to do good? See, the Pharisees, they get a really bad rap. And they, and they really do. They did it to themselves. But originally they were — they had good intentions. They set out — they didn't set out to say: hey, we want to make it so difficult for people to have a relationship. Let's continue to add things so that it's impossible to be, to be for anything but clean water and air. That's pretty much what the Pharisees were: clean water and air. That's what they were for. Everything else was bad. And Jesus says: no, you've misunderstood. The law was there to show you what wrong was, but not to take you and push you further away from me. You have to balance out: is there something worth saving? That's what he was doing. The man with a withered hand, he got his healing, and he was restored. But don't miss the point of the story. The story was him pointing out: there's something of value that is here. You think the law has the value. You've misplaced my value. Yes, my word is important. Yes, my word is true. Yes, my word is what we will be judged by. But don't let it be to the point that you overvalue. You are important. You are important to God. You are of the great worth and the treasure that is there. He came to seek and to save that which was lost. We know the story of the death, burial, and Resurrection. Most of us are familiar with that. We know how Peter stood up. We apostolics, we love that Peter stands up on the day of Pentecost, and he preaches the foundational message: repentance, baptism in Jesus name, infilling of the Holy Ghost. We love that. That's our candystick message. We love it. We — our whole world's built around that. We know all these things. We know the how of salvation, but do you fully comprehend the why? Why did he bother? Why did he care? What did he see in me or you, that motivated him to such found suffering? What did he see in us that's worth saving? What was it? When we don't often look at each other and even think very highly of one another — let's be honest, we're not the best, right? You've heard me say this time and many, many, many times from this pull pit: like, when things are beneficial for me, I like you a lot. But when you're not kind to me, are you treat someone I love poorly, I have to be careful, because your value diminishes in my eyes. You take me to lunch — Force, you take me to lunch, buy me a cup of coffee. Fact, where, where's Josh Campbell at? Josh Campbell bought fars and I breakfast on Friday. I love you, buddy. You're a good guy. An't that interesting, how we're that way? Yeah, you're like: hey, I feel pretty good about me, because he did something nice. He said something. You know, when you see someone at church and they're like: girl, you look good today. You're like: oh, this old thing. I just — is it amazing how you feel good about that? And you're like: they're such a kind person. Oh, they're just so nice. Yeah, Nate always compliments my outfits. He's such a good guy, that Nate. He's just a good guy. He's — if anybody's going to heaven, Nate's going to heaven. Then somebody's a little negative to you, you're like: you better watch it. You better watch it, right? Don't work out so good in the Bible, those that talk about the man of God. Like, we have the ability to call Bears out, just saying. Is it crazy how our mind goes there? How we often times fail to view each other the way he views us? That we say — seldom process this reality: there's never been an individual that you have ever laid eyes on, that God loves more or less than you. Never. The most vile sinner that's done the most hinest thing that was ever committed — this who, whoever it is, you dream them up in your head, whoever that person is — and he loves them too. He loves them too. That we struggle there, don't we? Let's be real. Church is a great place to be transparent. Sometimes we struggle there. There's a certain person that I respect very much, that I would never embarrass, who's made this statement. Her name is Sister de priest: that there are some people that God brings into our lives, that we say: I love you, whatever is required of me to go to heaven. Some of you like: yeah, I got a h category on my phone of people's names — these are the ones I love, whatever the minimum requirement is for me to get into heaven. Well, here's the deal: the Bible lists out minimum requirement. Jesus said: there's a new commandment I give you, that you love one another, as God loves. We all are working in progress. Say that: we all are work in progress. Cuz there are times, there are times, when my Holy Ghost has to go into overtime, because I don't always see the value. There are times — can I be, can I just continue in my transparency, chasty, it's okay, just hang on — there are times when I see individuals, and I see negative. You take life away from me. I'm the only one — I know I'm the only one that's ever had that thought. So and so comes around, you're like: oh, I feel the life pulling out of me right now. And if we'll listen real close, God says: I love them like I love you. Oo. We got to be careful. This is, this is — I'm going to tell you a story, all right. There's, this is, this a Nashville story. This is a Tennessee story. 2015 article, I pulled it off and make sure I had all my facts straight. There was a guy named Stan caffy. He was a local pipe fitter, who liked odd things, especially garage sales. There's some of you garage sale folks here. In the mid90s, he found an old stained parchment of the Declaration of Independence. He paid $2 for it. He put it and hung it on his garage in Donaldson, where he worked on his motorcycles. Nine years later, Stan cafy married Linda. Linda thought Stan was a pack rat who collected things, then put them in his garage. And after a few months of being married, she decided that she's going to set the house in order. Some things had to go. So they put together a box full of stuff, and then she took it over to the local thrift shop and dropped it off. One year later, another nashvillian named Michael Sparks was scouring through the thrift store, digging, looking for Treasures. He stumbled across the parchment paper and thought: this really looks old. He paid $248 for the scroll. He took it home, couldn't get past that there was something special about it. He began to do some research and some homework, and found an expert. And he soon discovered that the parchment turned out to be an official copy of the Declaration of Independence, that John Quincy Adams had put in place as secretary of state, in 1820. It sold at auction for $477,000. There was something of value in that thrift store. One man didn't put a whole lot of value on it. He simply hung it on his garage wall, where he worked on his motorcycles. His new wife obviously missed the value of his junk, took it to the thrift store. Over a year, it set in a thrift store, in a pile, till somebody come along and said: you know what, that looks kind of cool. I think I want to buy that. He takes it and discovers the truth value that is really there. I wonder, I wonder, I just wonder how many times you and I have misplaced the value. Why did God see something worth saving in you and I? What was it about it that made him go to the Cross? What was it about it that made him go to Calvary? Think of the many times that God had to look over his creation and make an assessment. Adam and Eve, after their transgression in the garden, he did not destroy them. He did not, he did not destroy them. Instead, he started the beginning process of making a way to get the relationship back. Genesis 6 verse5: and God saw the wickedness of man was great on earth, and the every imagination and thoughts of his heart was on evil continually. And he repented — excuse me — and it repented the Lord that he had made man on Earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said: I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of Earth, both man and Beast and creeping thing, in the fouls of the air. For it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found Grace in the eyes of the Lord. Because even in the midst of all the things that he was mad and frustrated and was repenting about, there was still something he seen that was valuable, that was there. That's our God. In spite of all the junk that goes around, he still sees the value. What did he see in Noah? What was it about there? So many more: he looked to see, there was Abraham and Jacob and Rahab and Samson and David and Simon Peter. And when you read through the scriptures, when you read through this book — what you said, what you see here is not perfect people. I've read this through many times. There was only one perfect one that was ever put down inside this book, and he died for the rest of us imperfect people. Only one. This, this book — this is like the Island of Misfit Toys. That's what's in here. There's Brokenness and family dysfunction. And there's addiction. And there's heartache. And there's sorrow. And there's frustration. And there's failure upon failure upon failure. And God says: I love them. I love them. I can't help myself. I'm just in love with them. We have never done anything to deserve salvation. Never, never. And let me go ahead and debunk something: you don't have to get good to come to God. Just come to God. Just come to God. God, just come. Bring the Brokenness. Bring the records. Bring the failures. Bring the frustrations. Bring the labels. Bring the addictions. Bring all of that to him. Because he doesn't see any of that. What he sees is a pearl of great price. What he sees is a treasure hidden in the field. What he sees is his beloved. He sees the hidden value that is there. He sees the hidden value that was there. He sees things that we can't see ourselves. He can't see it — you can't see it, but he can see it. He sees that — you know what he sees? He sees Chris Barnes, when there's a bunch of failure, there's a bunch of dysfunction, and you had no concept of relationship with him. He sees now: I don't see that mess. I see a man who's got a call to do something for my kingdom. That's what he sees. He doesn't see all that stuff that get caught up in. He doesn't, he doesn't V visualize those things. He sees the hidden value that is there. He didn't see all that, Tim, brother Rimer. He didn't see all that. What he sees is Ministry. What he sees is calling. What he sees is Thousands receiving the Holy Ghost, because you two are willing to be OB. He didn't see the failures and the frustrations. Yeah, I would have written you both off a long time ago. You know, I would have written you off. But God didn't. And he didn't write me off either. Why? CU he seen something that was there. Something of value. Something beond, beond what we could see in our — we couldn't see it, but he did. He didn't stop. He didn't see the failures. He looked past those things. He looked to see where we are. You didn't see the dysfunction. We get so caught up in all that mess and all that junk that is there. But God says: no, there's something special. There's something special inside of them that I want to do something with. I put it in them from the very beginning. They may have messed it up. They may have drifted off course. They may have not fully comprehended all that I was going to do. Aren't you thankful? Aren't you thankful that he doesn't disqualify you for family dysfunction? Aren't you thankful? Aren't you thankful, Rachel? But he says: no, I, I'll use it for something, for my kingdom, something for my good. I have plans, and I have purpose, and I have intent. He doesn't, he doesn't see every mistake and failure like we do. He says: I look past those things. I'll take my blood, and I'll cover over that stuff. And I, I'm willing to look down and find you in the middle of a field, when you don't even know who I am, introduce myself to you, and sets you on a chart and a path for Ministry. Thank you, Jesus. I won't leave you drunk, sitting out in a car, wasting your life away. Instead, I'm going to use something great for my kingdom and for my purpose. That's my God. He doesn't see the failures and the frustrations that you and I put inside ourselves. But he says: I see a valuable working tool for my kingdom. Why, that's what my God does. He sees hidden value in each and every one of us. You know who else sees the value? Our enemy, the adversary of our soul. He understands how powerful we can be, if we could ever comprehend his love. If we could ever realize that those things don't disqualify us. That's not a license to sin. Don't misund — understand Grace. Don't misunderstand it. Grace is a beautiful thing, but don't abuse the grace that is there. As the word of God says: Grace is a teacher. That's another sermon for another day. But you go study out — it's what his word says — that Grace teaches you. Grace teaches you that those things are bad. You don't need to do those things. Those things are preventing you from becoming what God has, your Kingdom Purpose, and his plan. Two reasons. Okay, I'm getting way off my notes. I'm going to come back into this, cuz I really do feel a restored work in this room today. Two reasons he saved you. First: he saw something of himself in you. Genesis 1: 26: and God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the foul of the air, and over the cattle, over the Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth. So God created man in his own image. In the image of God created he him, male and female — just in case there's just two, God created them. You are God's creation. You are his workmanship. Yes, you are his prize possession. And the enemy wants to destroy you. He wants to contaminate you with sin. But God sees past all of that — all the shame, all the destruction — he sees deep down inside that there's something he wants. He refuses to let Satan destroy his handiwork. Jesus, you see these arms? These Arms were created to worship God. You see this mouth? This mouth is created to worship Him. You see these hands? These hands were meant to do the kingdom work around me. These hands — your body was not made for sin. That was it. That's why sin is so destructive. Your body was not made to mutilate. It wasn't — your lungs were not made for smoke. Your brain was not made for Twisted and destroyed by drugs. Your mind was not made for pornographic thoughts. God brought you into this world to be a reflection of his power and His glory. This is how he chooses to achieve his purpose in this world in which we live. He chooses to use you and I. He chooses to use flawed material. He likes to go by the specialty bin. I don't about you, but that makes me happy. He chooses to stop first at the Island of Misfit Toys. He wants to pick up the little one with a square wheel, of the triangle. I ain't G to say that, because y'all make fun of me. He's not intimidated — listen to me — he's not intimidated. Listen to me: our God is Not intimidated by your Brokenness. He's not put off by your failure, than you, Jesus. He's not evaluating the label the world has put on you. He looks past all of that, and says: there's some hidden value there. Do you know why he pushes past that? Because he put the value in you to start with. As I've said many times: when you were being formed together, he put in you what he wanted to pull out of you. Are you for a reason. Your likes, your dislikes, your personality quirks, your ticks, your Hang-Ups, your hiccups, your stickups — everything that makes you, God likes it. He wants to use it. Why? To reach others. Yes, he wants to use it. Why? To push the kingdom out. He wants to use it. Why? Because he has a mission and a purpose, to seek and to save that which was lost. So first of all, he sees something of value, because he sees himself in you. Secondly: you are part of his work in this world. God, something that would saving, because he needs you to be an extension of his own hands and feet. God chooses not to act unilaterally to accomplish his purpose in this world, because he wants to include you and me. Why? Because he never was a part of that: King is greater than the subject, or boss is greater than the work. Instead, he wants us to be friends. And friends always know what's going on. He want us to be close. In fact, the relationship is that of a husband and wife. Therefore, God wants to infold his own acts into the acts of man. The church is now an organized effort, and we should be trying to do all that we can, to reach all that God has for us to reach. And it's important that you understand: you have a part to play. This isn't about me. This isn't about the Pastoral staff. This is about him. And he has a part for you to play too. And my part's not more important than your part, and your part's not more important than my part. We're all the body, and the body needs each other. The body needs each other. We need each other. We need each other. What would it be like? What would it be like, if we all realized what part we have to play, and we started doing it? What would it be like, if we push past all the things that have kept us back, and all the disqualifications that we seemingly talk oursel into, and out of? What if we push past all that stuff, and just said: you know what, he loves me. He loves me. He's crazy in love with me. And there's hidden value inside of me. And even if I can't see it myself, I have to trust that God sees something special inside of me, that he desires to use for his kingdom. He's never, ever, ever, ever, never called someone to be a Pew Setter. Bless Lord. Never. So what's your ministry? What's your hidden value that he put in there, that he wants to use? What is it? What is it he wants to use in you, to effectively make changes in the world around us? Because he wants to include you. It's important that you know that this is his plan. It's important that every individual has a personal relationship with God, and that we're part of the bigger part that is the church. The buildings not the church. We're the church. The buildings where the church meets. Mark 16: and he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to Every Creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name they shall cast out Devils. They shall speak with new tongues. Th shall take up serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Just side note: we're not going to pull any snakes out. No, not going to happen here. But there's a list of things there. What is that? Is that, is that a complete list? Or is Mark trying to make a point? Was Mark trying to say: look, there's some things we're going to do. There's going to be some signs that going to be evident in those who are following after him. So then, after the Lord spoken to them, he was received up in the heaven, and S on the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere. Look, listen to the term right there: the Lord working with them. That's one word in the Greek: syo. It's a root word where we get synergy. Synergy means combined action, or functioning to — Cooperative action of two or more things put together, like muscles or nerves or forces. The cooperation action of two or more things, working with a force together. God is a force, a power. And I am a force or a power. But my power is worthless, unless it works in Synergy with God's being. By myself, I have limitations. I got limitations. There's only so much I can do. I am limited. Regardless of how big my dreams are, regardless of how much I want to, regardless of how much power of positive thinking I put behind it, I'm never going to slam dunk a basketball and 10 foot goal. I just can't. I've come to grips with that. I'm working through it. Me, I'm limited. And I want you to be honest with yourself right now. I want you to do a little, little, little — just do this right here, right? I want you to say this with me, if you believe it. Only if you believe it: I'm limited. Yeah, you are. You're smart people. Did you see how you caught on that? You're sharp. Don't let anybody tell you anything different. You're Sharp. But here's the deal: I can take my limited ability, and I can connect it to his unlimited ability, and I become an overwhelming Force. When I take my limitedness, and I couple it with his unlimitedness, there's nothing that I can't do with him. Because with him, all things are possible. Yes. Now, I know that's not this preacher talk, right? I could have said it and got you hyped up. I could have screamed it 17 times and jumped around like a bunny rabbit up here. I could have went around the altar. I could have walked to the back door. I could have done a whole lot of things to get you riled up. But I purposely didn't, because I'm not trying to cheerlead you into this. I'm trying to convince you, that you working with God, the enemy can't handle. That's why he does his best to keep you pushed down, distracted, and destroyed. He tries to keep you in that Addiction, in that label, and that hurt, and that failure. He tries to keep you there. Because he knows: if I ever let him up, if I ever let him up, if I ever let him up, there's an Unstoppable Army that I cannot defeat. So if I can speak some life into you ladies this morning, let me tell you what: you are unstoppable with God. God — Unstoppable. He can't stop your family from being put back together. He can't stop it. God can do it. He can do — listen, I'm speaking to this entire church right now — you hooked up with him, coupled up with him, you're an Unstoppable Force. So now that you know you're an Unstoppable Force, what are we going to do? See, here's the deal — I'm so far outside my not right now. If I came in and I said: Pastor Michael, I just got for you the most powerful semi that has ever been built. It's got 10,000 horsepower, and it's the most powerful thing ever. I know you would — we been friends a long time — I know what he and I are going to do: we're going to find a chain, and we're going to pull something. Something's going to move. Something we had never moved, we're going to try to move it. Why? Because we got the most powerful semi ever. You just don't have that kind of thing and shine it, and just point to it. That's not what you do with that, right? So I'm struggling a little bit here today, when I tell you you're an Unstoppable force, that the enemy is afraid of. I'm just curious if anybody's going to hook it up to something, and see if you can move it. I GNA have to maybe preach to the choir. You're an Unstoppable Force. Nothing can stop you. What are you going to hook it up to? Is this working? That's my whole point. Look: you are an Unstoppable Force when you get together with God. So what do you need to hook it up to? Is it your family? Is it your relationship? Is it your finan? I don't know. I don't know. You got to feel in the blank. But if I had all the power — trust me, baby — I'd be hooking it up to something, to see if I can make it move. What do you need to move? What situation needs to budge? What circumstances — hey, this alter's open. This is the craziest alt call I've ever given. I'm looking for somebody to have enough Faith, to just say: hey, I'm coming down on my chain, and I'm fixing a hook it up to something. Something around here's got a budge. I'm tired of being bound by the same old, same old, same old, same old. I'm going to hook myself up with God, and I'm just going to see if today might be the day that thing comes tumbling down. What do you have need of? What do you — what needs to be restored in your life? What needs to be healed? What needs to be fixed? Come on. There's room down. I wouldn't stay in my seat. Not if I needed something to move. Not if I knew I had all the power. Not if I knew my God was able to deliver, and to do, and to fix, and to restore, and to heal. And the authority is in the name of Jesus Christ. I take Dominion inside this Sanctuary right now. I pray that there would be a release of the gifts of the Spirit inside this room, right now. Devil, you have no place in this here. Doubt, be gone, in Jesus name. Worry, be gone, in jesus' name. Anxiety, be gone, in Jesus name. Disease and sickness, be gone, in Jesus name. Yes, come on, we're starting to get it. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Come on. What are you going to hook it up to? There is hidden value inside of you. Come on. Yes, yes, yes. Atmosphere, praise right now. Men and women of God, be sensitive. Let God use you right now. Let God use you right now.
