Sermon
1:11:34
So, I just want to share this thought with you about your name.
He knows your name.
1:11:45
For those of you who don't know the Bible too well, in the early part of the Christianity,
1:11:53
there was a Jewish man who was trained in the strictest sect sect, ultraorththodox Pharisee.
1:12:00
His name was Saul.
1:12:06
And Saul lived around the time of Jesus.
There's no proof that he heard or saw Jesus personally,
1:12:13
but as Christianity began to spread among Jewish people, it set him off.
1:12:24
He went nuts and he tried to persecute and kill as many Christians as he could.
1:12:30
Especially persecute or lock them up.
Tradition tells us that many died.
1:12:37
Some people put a total of, you know, casualties connected to Saul,
1:12:44
but we're not sure that's true.
But he made havoc of the church
1:12:49
and then he got converted
and then he became the most famous Christian we know of
1:12:55
and his name changed from Saul to Paul.
1:13:02
at the end of the book of acts he's in prison
1:13:10
the people he used to run with his posi have turned against him
1:13:15
and they want to get rid of him because he's turned into this strong Christian preacher, apostle,
1:13:22
founding churches and the whole thing.
So where we pick this up, it's very short.
He's in prison and he knows they want to kill him.
1:13:32
So he's appealed to Rome and he was a citizen
and Rome was very careful about citizen's rights.
1:13:38
So he appeals to Rome. I want to be tried in Rome
1:13:43
because he knows these other people around him want to just get rid of them.
So he's in prison
1:13:51
and there's a guy named Festus who's a governor for the Roman Empire.
1:13:58
He brings the Jewish king at that time Agrippa
and together they want to hear this guy.
What is the problem with this guy?
1:14:05
now there's a good lesson.
Paul gets brought in front of them.
He gives his testimony.
Always remember that
1:14:11
whenever you have an opportunity to talk,
whether you know a lot of verses or don't,
whether you think you're a preacher or not,
1:14:17
you can always start by giving your testimony.
Every Christian has a testimon.
1:14:23
It might not be as sensational as the one we just heard,
but you have a testimony.
Am I correct?
1:14:29
Listen to his. Listen to his. I too, he's telling them, was convinced
1:14:35
that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
1:14:43
And that is just what I did in Jerusalem.
On the authority of the chief priests, I put many of the Lord's people in prison.
1:14:49
And when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.
1:14:54
In fact, the first martyr of the Christian church is a man by the name of Steven.
1:15:00
and when they went to stone Stephen, they laid their, you know, you got to get your garments off
so that you could throw the stones and kill the guy.
1:15:06
They took their garments and they laid them at the feet of a young Saul of Tarsus.
1:15:14
And he was part of that horrible thing.
And he saw Stephen shining like an angel almost and so brave.
1:15:21
And as he's getting killed, he's praying for the people who are stoning him.
1:15:27
This was all part of Soul of Tarsus' memory bank.
1:15:36
So I cast my vote against them.
Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished and I tried to force them to blaspheme.
1:15:42
Imagine, he's psycho.
He's trying to force them to curse Jesus.
1:15:49
This is how vehement he got.
I was so obsessed with persecuting them
1:15:55
that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.
He wouldn't just stay in Jerusalem.
Now he's got to travel to try to get them.
1:16:02
I mean, the guy's nuts against Christians.
1:16:07
On one of these journeys, I was going to Damascus, which was a city in southern Syria,
with the authority and commission of the chief priests.
1:16:15
About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road,
1:16:21
I saw a light from heaven brighter than the sun blazing around me and my companions
1:16:27
By the way, you know, when they detonated the first atomic bomb,
1:16:33
they tried it out in New Mexico somewhere uh right toward the end of World War II
trying to decide if they would use that weapon of mass destruction.
1:16:40
And when it exploded, which was never before moment,
1:16:46
they claimed that the light was 10 times brighter than the sun.
1:16:53
So, something similar happened to him, but it wasn't a bomb.
It was the appearance of Jesus.
1:17:06
We all fell to the ground and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic,
1:17:11
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
1:17:17
It's hard for you to kick against the goads."
1:17:23
Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
1:17:30
Well, he wasn't persecuting Jesus. Jesus was in heaven.
But notice how Jesus identifies with us Christians
1:17:35
that when you persecute a Christian, you're persecuting Jesus.
When you curse a Christian, you curse Jesu.
1:17:42
Aren't you happy the Lord loves us so much?
He identifies with us and he's with us.
1:17:48
It's hard for you to kick against the goads.
So what the goads were?
when you wanted a beast to be moving a donkey or whatever,
1:17:55
you had this thing that you struck it with to get its attention.
1:18:00
Move. Come on, let's go. And the Greek in that text right there,
1:18:06
it's hard for you to kick against the goads.
In other words, the meaning there is, it's hard for you to fight against
1:18:13
what I'm doing to you and trying to get your attention.
It's not going to end well. It's not going to end well for you, Saul.
1:18:19
It's hard, isn't it, to kick against the the attention I'm trying to get from you.
1:18:25
So, then I ask, who are you, Lord?
1:18:31
I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. The Lord replied,
1:18:37
"Now get up and stand on your feet.
I've appeared to you to appoint you as a servant
and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me."
1:18:49
So, here's what I want to talk to you about.
When Saul of Tarsus heard his name,
1:18:54
everything changed.
Saul, Saul, from heaven with that light.
1:19:01
And then he realized that the Lord, well, the biggest shock of all was, "Who are you, Lord?
I'm the one that you're persecuting."
1:19:12
Now, let's just stop here for a second.
Those of you who maybe doubt or you're around people who doubt the veracity of the scriptures,
(veracity/vəˈræs.ə.ti ; the quality of being true, honest, or accurate)
1:19:17
could you please explain that story to me?
1:19:26
Read the New Testament and you know that morons did not write it.
1:19:31
Illiterate people who are ignorant did not write that.
Read it. It's it's sequential. It's well written.
(sequential ; following a particular order)
1:19:43
So if that's a made-up story and we know what Paul went through later,
1:19:51
why would that story be there?
What's the advantage of becoming a Christian back then?
1:19:56
They were testifying that Jesus had risen from the dead like we were singing.
Thank you Jesus for the blood applied.
1:20:02
Now Saul is telling us he's a very bright person.
1:20:08
I was on a road and a light shone.
I wasn't expecting it
1:20:13
and the last thing in the world when I said, 'who are you, Lord?'
I knew it was God talking to me.
He said, 'I am Jesus.'
Now why would he make that up?
1:20:20
all the rest of his life he's going to suffer persecution.
He's going to be thrown in prisons.
1:20:27
He'll be destitute just about.
He'll be cast into the ocean.
He'll be in trouble in the city, trouble in the country.
1:20:34
He'll be in trouble from Jewish attackers and from the Roman Empire uh forces.
1:20:40
Why would he make up this story when there's nothing to gain from it?
1:20:46
Listen, humans can lie.
We can lie like a rook (사기꾼),
but there's always a reason why we're lying,
1:20:52
something to get out of, some advantage to get.
Why would he make that up if it wasn't true?
1:20:58
For those of you who are here and doubting the veracity (진실성, 정확성) of scripture
1:21:03
and want to know why everybody is so happy in here, this is real.
1:21:09
Come on, every believer here, put your hand together (박수치다). This is real.
1:21:16
Not everyone is converted with that kind of drama.
But you just heard the lady tell her story.
How'd that all happen?
1:21:24
That's Jesus.
He's alive. He's real.
And now Saul is finding that out.
1:21:31
So listen, Saul. Saul. And now he realizes not only, oh, who are you? I am Jesus.
1:21:36
Oh my goodness. My whole life is a mistake.
1:21:41
Takes humility to say that.
my whole life, my religious upbringing, tradition, what I've heard from my parent, everything I've been told,
1:21:48
and now I'm fighting against the very thing that's revealing himself to me.
1:21:54
What a cataclysmic (대격변적인/날벼락) moment!
1:22:02
He knows everything about me. He knows my name, Saul. Saul.
did you know that Jesus knows your name today?
1:22:09
Did you know that he knows when you were born?
Do you know he knows your parents?
Do you know he knows the deepest secrets in your life?
1:22:15
Do you know that he knows things you think no one else knows?
1:22:20
Did you know that you and I are an open book to him?
(OPEN BOOK : 1. If someone is an open book, it is easy to know what they are thinking and feeling.)
Do you know he knows what you're afraid of?
Do do you know the complexes that you have?
1:22:27
He's aware of all of them in you and me.
1:22:33
Do you know how he knows how much money you have, what money you don't have?
Do you know he knows who loves you?
1:22:39
He knows who hates you.
He knows everything about you.
He knows the number of hairs on your head,
1:22:45
if you have any. [웃음] If you don't, it is what it is (어쩔 수 없다).
1:22:53
He knows everything. Look at me. He knows everything about you.
You think, "No one knows me. No one understands me."
1:23:00
There's only one who understands you, and that's Jesus.
1:23:05
And that's what Saul found out. That's what Saul found out.
Saul realized now, "Oh my goodness, my life is an open book."
1:23:11
And the one I've been persecuting and fighting against that name,
1:23:16
he hated the name of Jesus.
So, here's an example of a guy who went from hating the name of Jesus to serving Jesus.
1:23:28
Please explain that if you're not a believer, explain that to me.
As Sue said, Christianity is the only religion where God comes to us and does the work.
1:23:36
Not saying you do this and you do that and then I'll accept you.
1:23:42
No, I'll take you right where you are. And what's amazing about this is
1:23:50
Jesus is reaching out to the number one persecutor of his church.
1:23:56
What kind of love is that? How do you love someone like that?
1:24:02
Saul, Saul, that's what he says. He calls his name and then he says,
1:24:10
"Why are you persecuting me? It's hard for you to fight against the goads."
1:24:16
In other words, listen, I'll draw this as quickly as I can.
1:24:22
What do you have against me? What did I do to hurt you?
1:24:30
Paul, Saul, tell me what I did. Why are you after me? Did I hurt you?
1:24:37
Did I cheat you? Did I beat you? Tell me why you're after me.
1:24:44
Such a logical question.
In other words, you're on a tirade (신랄한 비난). You're on a war path. Poo, Poor 불쌍해
1:24:50
Why? Why are you on this thing? What did I do? Tell me what I did. Saul,
1:24:59
who are you, Lord?
I am Jesus.
1:25:07
And I would say to you, why have some of you not accepted Jesus?
1:25:13
Why haven't you gone all the way and given him your life?
1:25:20
Has he hurt you? Did he let you down?
In other words, remember, Saul was religious.
1:25:26
Some of you are religious. You're in church, but you're not born again.
You really haven't committed your life to Christ and made him numero uno (number one).
1:25:31
And I'm asking you, why? Why?
What does he have to do?
1:25:38
He died on a cross, rose from the dead, he gave us these testimonies.
What's holding you back?
1:25:47
I'm just asking what Jesus asked Saul, but in a slightly turned around way.
1:25:52
I know you're not probably persecuting the church, but I'm asking you why, what?
1:25:57
In other words, what's stopping you?
How long are you going to halt between two opinions? (왕상 18:21)
1:26:06
Church on Sunday and then forget about the Lord the rest of the week.
Don't you get it? He loves you more than anyone in the world.
1:26:13
He has a peace and a joy, forgiveness of sin, uh the guarantee of living forever with him.
1:26:19
Oh, I don't know if that's true.
Why don't, Why don't you know it's true?
1:26:24
Here's a guy telling you I was a nut. I was obsessed against Jesus and he turned me around.
1:26:30
He can turn you around. Change everything about you and it'll affect your children.
1:26:37
If you live and keep on going the way you're going,
you're going to affect your children in a negative way and your grandchildren.
I know you love them.
1:26:49
The best thing you can do for them is follow Jesus with all of your heart
1:26:54
because then there's a blessing not only on you but on your children and your children's children.
1:27:04
It's hard for you to fight against the goads. It was hard.
In other words, Jesus was saying, Paul, you know, I've been convicting you.
You know at night you can't sleep sometimes.
1:27:16
You know, you remember what happened with Stephen.
You see these Christians,
how they act even when you arrest them for no reason and you torture them.
1:27:22
You see how they act. But Saul, Saul, you know,
1:27:28
I've been after you. It's hard for you to fight against your conscience.
1:27:34
It's hard for you to fight against me chasing you up and down every street.
1:27:41
Saul, why are you persecuting me? It's hard. This will not end well for you.
1:27:46
You fighting me off. And I would say that to you,
1:27:52
everyone, in the name of Christ, with all the love that God has for you,
it's hard to fight against all those little whispers.
Come on. The things you don't admit to people,
1:28:03
the things that come to you at night, that your fear of death, his little whispers,
little ways he talks to you, little kindnesses.
1:28:09
He's shown some of you mercy. You should, some of you shouldn't even be alive today.
1:28:14
The only reason you're alive is because God has mercy on you even though you don't serve Jesus.
Am I correct or not?
1:28:27
So why? What?
In other words, Saul, what do I have to do now? I've appeared to you.
1:28:37
Has the Lord appeared in one way or another to a lot of us in this building?
1:28:43
spoken to us and yet you halt.
You don't go all the way in the water.
1:28:49
You don't commit your life fully.
You You're in this sick American system of 'go to church on Sunday
and then live like there's no Jesus the rest of the week'.
That is really a sick thing.
1:29:04
Jesus is alive 7 days of the week, 24-7, 365
1:29:09
Jesus is alive and he wants to bless you
1:29:16
and he wants you to trust him like she just said, like Averil just said
1:29:22
but what in the world does he have to do?
No, I'm twisting this around now on us like he said.
1:29:27
I'm just quoting what he said to Saul.
Saul, Saul, what are you doing?
1:29:33
What did I do to you to deserve this?
For some of you that have heard about it since you were little kids,
1:29:39
you know about Jesus loves me. This I know.
So, when are you going to respond totally to that love?
What's it going to take? Deathbed?
1:29:46
You think you're going to wait until you're almost dead?
Don't do that.
1:29:52
That's not a safe way to live. Give him your heart today.
1:29:58
Tell me something.
How is life working out when you don't serve Jesus?
1:30:05
You can't fool us Christians because we know,
hey, Christians, give me an amen, right?
When you don't serve the Lord.
1:30:12
Oh, if I serve Jesus, I'm going to lose all my friends and I I'll be, I won't have any fun.
1:30:17
It's going to be so boring.
Come on. Nobody believes that. We know.
1:30:23
You don't even know what joy and peace is until you give your life to Jesus.
Everything else is just surface.
1:30:30
Listen, it's surface. It lasts for a second. It lasts for a second.
1:30:36
I just saw what was on the news some event cocktail party of the elite
1:30:42
and everyone's trying to act like they're happy and you know they're all depressed out of their mind.
1:30:53
this whole thing with weed (마리화나) now that what they're finding out weed does to children and to adults .
1:30:59
and that that the country legalizes it. It's just it's a travesty
1:31:04
But why do people want that? Don't you get it?
They want to escape from the unhappiness of their own life.
1:31:10
When you have Jesus, you don't need weed.
1:31:17
You don't need upper, downer, fentanyl. You don't need anything.
You don't need a shot of bourbon.
1:31:25
You don't need tequila.
1:31:31
You might need a little black cake at Christmas, but that's another whole classification.
1:31:37
That's different. We're allowed that. How many say, 'amen'? Yeah. Amen.
1:31:44
So, how's it working out without Jesus?
No, I'm just Listen, Jesus is very logical here.
1:31:56
Saul, Saul, what are you doing?
It's hard to fight against the goads. It's hard to keep running.
1:32:04
It's hard. Some of you, here's where you have to be careful.
It's not that God will stop talking to you.
1:32:10
It's that you might not hear him anymore because your ear gets a callous.
1:32:16
You know, you rub it, you rub it, rub it, nothing happens.
Now you get a callous. You can't hear anymore.
1:32:22
He's still calling, but you get hard.
One other thought.
Can I just leave a little tiny one with you?
1:32:29
While that was happening, he calls someone else's name.
1:32:36
The same story, he calls somebody else.
1:32:43
Now we go to the original account in Acts 9 and in Damascus where this just happened.
(자막 없이 들을 때 Acts 9이 X9으로 들렸고 1:36:34에는 자막이 axe 도끼로 생성됨)
1:32:48
Paul's Paul Saul of Tarsus going into the town.
By the way, he's blind. He has to be led by some people.
1:32:55
Did you know that?
You know why God made him blind temporarily so he could start to see?
1:33:02
Because sometimes when your eyes are open,
you get so caught up with the stuff that's not real that you're blind.
1:33:08
And then when you close your eyes, you can start to see.
you know, things like Jesus and what's real.
1:33:16
So anyway, he's led into Damascus.
And now in Damascus, there was a disciple named Ananas.
And the Lord called to him in a vision,
1:33:23
Ananas!
1:33:31
Saul, Saul, what are you doing?
Why are you knocking yourself out? What do I have to show you?
1:33:38
now, Ananas!
he's a Christian.
Yes, Lord, he answered.
Now notice, not an apostle, not a famous preacher.
1:33:44
He's a nobody, but there's no nobodies.
1:33:50
Everybody's somebody to God.(somebody ; a person of importance)
And ge and and he's a follower of Jesus.
The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street
1:33:57
and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he's praying."
1:34:03
First time he ever prayed in his life, even though he had been saying prayers.
Now he's really praying because he knows Jesus.
1:34:10
In a vision, he has seen a man named Ananas come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.
1:34:18
So now the Lord, although he's almighty, has to use his people to get the thing accomplished.
1:34:23
Saul's going to turn around now,
1:34:29
but the Lord needs an Ananas to go and lay his hands on him.
1:34:34
That means we got to always be available.
Come on. Do I get an amen?
We got to be available. You got to be available.
1:34:42
You got to follow those prompting.
You got to text when God says text.
Call when he says call.
Say what he wants you to say.
1:34:49
Pray when he says pray.
When you're not can't sleep at night and and you wake up
and there's no reason why you shouldn't be sleeping.
1:34:55
First thing you should pray is, 'Lord, why are you keeping me awake?'
And then get out of the bedroom
1:35:01
and then walk and pray and say, 'Lord, is there something you want to say to me?
Am I supposed to pray?
1:35:07
Tell me why I'm not sleeping.
In a vision, he's seen someone coming.
1:35:13
Lord, Anonyas answer.
He does a timeout.
I've heard many reports about this man
1:35:20
and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem.
In other words, is there someone else I can pray for?
1:35:25
And he's come here with authority from the chief priest to arrest all who call on your name.
1:35:31
But the Lord said to Ananas, "Go. This man is my chosen instrument."
1:35:38
I mean, God is so amazing.
1:35:44
The guy who's trying to kill the church is his chosen instrument.
You can't make that up.
1:35:51
Proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and the people of Israel.
1:35:57
I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.
Jeffrey, if you come. (반주자 Jeffrey에게 반주를 부탁하는 말)
1:36:03
So now here's what I want to say to you Christians.
Ananas!
1:36:09
I have something for you to do.
It's not a Saul, Saul's cry.
It's an Ananas' cry.
1:36:15
You're one of my people. I have an errand for you.
You got to work with me, now to accomplish my will.
1:36:22
I wonder how many Christians here God's put something on your heart last week,
last month, last year like he did her (설교 전에 간증한 여성).
She comes to my office years ago and says, "I have this idea about an Acts ministry."
1:36:34
Acts what? No, we're going to collect furniture and clothes.
(Acts ministry는 사도행전 이름을 본따서 명명한 사역 동아리를 의미하지만 axe, ex, x 발음과 유사함)
1:36:40
She actually started had clothes, too.
Did you know when she got out of the shelter,
they collected so much clothes for her that when she went to this house,
1:36:45
there were so many clothes
she got embarrassed.
She couldn't take all the clothes they gave her for her family.
1:36:53
So then she started thinking, wait, when people come out of shelters
or when they're burned out (화재로 탓을 때),
when we have fires and people are burned out of their apartment,
1:36:59
oh, I want to just have something. She had all these people working.
1:37:05
And now they brought one time some furniture,
if I remember, or something to a Muslim uh family
1:37:12
and the the Muslim, why why are you doing this?
Oh, because we know Jesus. That was her Ananas moment.
1:37:19
God called her to do something.
So, look, how about you? What are you going to just sit there every Sunday
1:37:27
and go back and forth with the choir? Enough with the rocking (박자에 맞추어 흔드는 몸짓).
1:37:35
How about getting up and doing something for the Lord?
No, I'm not trying to hype you.
1:37:41
I'm trying to say, hasn't the Lord laid something on your heart in some secret private moment?
He's never laid anything on your heart to do for him.
1:37:48
I don't believe, no Crayo (crazy, insane, unbelievable).
I don't believe that.
I don't believe that he's called your name.
1:37:54
Yes, he has, to go on the street and witness to be in
1:37:59
the prayer to do something for the Lord.
Just like he calls Saul, Saul, what are you doing to me?
1:38:06
He's calling Ananas, Ananas, I have an errand for you.
1:38:13
You know, someone wrote years ago, I put it in my Bible.
If you want to be sent on errands, live close to Jesus.
1:38:23
Come on. He's called some of you to do things besides your job.
People who don't know God do their job.
1:38:30
Oh, you pay the bills and you take care of your children.
People who curse God do that.
I'm talking about the work of the Lord.
1:38:35
He's got an errand for you.
Talk to someone. Pray for someone. You could meet
1:38:43
the Ananas was used as part of the process of making Saul of Tarsus the greatest Christian who ever lived.
Ananas is in that story.
And who was he?
1:38:51
Just a believer willing to obey.
And God put up with his fear.
1:38:58
Lord, Saul, you sure you got that right, Lord?
1:39:05
Saul of Tarsus. He needs to be prayed for.
1:39:12
That's exactly right.
Let's close our eyes.
1:39:18
Everyone who the Lord's been talking to
1:39:26
and you want to go all in, trust totally radical
1:39:32
not asking for join our church.
I'm asking, pastor, I know the Lord's calling me to radically dedicate my life to him.
1:39:43
First time in the building or the hundth time in the building (교회건물),
but you realize now that Jesus is real. He loves you.
1:39:49
Knows everything about you. And he's been whispering to you.
1:39:55
This meeting is not the first time he's ever talked to you.
1:40:00
No, he's used little little whispers, memory, songs, a verse, a dream.
1:40:09
I would love the privilege of praying for you.
Who knows?
God's going to make you from Saul of Tarsus into someone you can't even imagine.
1:40:14
Or maybe there's someone here who is a believer.
1:40:21
You got an Ananas' call. God's called you to do something,
1:40:26
but you've ah you're so busy with life and paying bills.
We get so busy with what's around us that we forget the Lord asked us to do something in his name.
1:40:39
If you'd like me to pray for you, just stand up right where you are right this moment.
1:40:45
in the name of Jesus stand up and don't be embarrassed.
Come on, stand up. You're going to get right with God today.
1:40:59
up in the balcony, too. You're saying, 'yes' to Jesus.
1:41:05
Yes, I'll say, 'yes', Lord.
If you're standing, wait. No. No. Other people need to stand.(아직 안 일어난 사람)
1:41:13
Come on. God's talking to you.
While I was speaking, God was talking to you.
1:41:20
I know that the Holy Spirit you felt like uh something warm in your heart.
That was the Holy Spirit.
1:41:27
don't fight against the goads. He loves you.
1:41:33
Those of you standing, come up. Come on. Come to the front. Come on.
1:41:39
Down from upstairs (발코니, 2층), please.
Just follow the exit sign. Come on down.
Ushers will help you
once you get down here.
1:41:44
Come right to the edge. No more religion. It's going to be Jesus now.
No more Brooklyn Tabernacle. Going to be Jesus now.
Sing, choir,
1:45:04
those of you here in the front, eyes closed, repeat this prayer, please after me.
Dear Jesus, Dear Jesus, I know you love me.
1:45:15
And I know you're alive.
1:45:21
And my running is over. I come to you today.
1:45:28
I believe in you. That you died for me.
1:45:34
On the cross. on the cross. Suffered for me.
1:45:40
Then rose from the dead. And you are alive forever more.
1:45:47
and I receive you as my savior.
1:45:52
Today, I say yes, Lord. I say yes, Lord.
1:45:59
I know you've been after me.
1:46:04
I give you my life. Forgive me of my sin.
1:46:10
Cleanse me. Give me a new heart.
1:46:15
A new mind. I want to be different. I want to be what you want me to be.
1:46:29
Send me where you want me to go. Give me the strength to obey.
1:46:41
Today's the day. Sunday. October 5th. October 5th. Everything changes.
1:46:48
Everything changes. Everything changes today
1:46:53
because I'm saying yes to Jesus. You're going to work in me.
1:47:00
I can't wait to see the person you make me to be.
1:47:09
Everyone in the church, stand up, please. Everybody stand up.
1:47:15
Everybody lift up your right hand or your left hand. We're going to sing it. Close your eyes. Sing it.
