Sermon #S012 - (The
Unrealistic Church - Part 2)
00:00:05.97\00:00:19.61
Pastor Snell: Hello, Hello I'm
Pastor Deblearie Snell, Senior
Pastor of the Oakwood University
00:00:19.65\00:00:25.69
Church and Speaker/Director
of the Breath Of Life Televison
00:00:25.72\00:00:29.46
Ministry. I'm excited to be with
you in the word once again.
We're going to be continuing our
00:00:29.49\00:00:36.10
series "Get Unrealistic" It's
based off my newest book, called
"Get Unrealistic". And it talks
00:00:36.13\00:00:42.27
about how the power of faith
releases you from life's
limitations. You can get this
00:00:42.30\00:00:50.58
book at our website
breathoflife.tv Listen this week
I'm sharing with you part 2 of a
00:00:50.61\00:00:56.65
message entitled "The
Unrealistic Church" about what
happens when the collective
00:00:56.69\00:01:03.06
faith of the church grows and
the miracles that ensues. So
make sure you get settled, go
00:01:03.09\00:01:10.33
ahead and get comfortable right
now as we get ready to go in to
the study of the Word.
00:01:10.37\00:01:12.50
Pastor Snell: I remember I was
at a very important business
meeting with some men who are
00:01:12.53\00:01:18.21
people of some means, and it's
crazy because after we had eaten
our good meal, one of the men
00:01:18.24\00:01:25.85
said, I want to call for the
chef because what he wanted to
do was compliment the chef. Now,
00:01:25.88\00:01:31.72
I need to know I've seen that on
television, but I've never seen
it happen in real life. And so
00:01:31.75\00:01:36.56
when the chef came out, he
affirmed the food that has been
00:01:36.59\00:01:39.59
prepared and he talked about
what a great job had been done
then he took a very generous
00:01:39.63\00:01:46.10
gift financially and
put it in the chef's hands.
00:01:46.13\00:01:48.14
And it's amazing because, after
a while, the server got all in
00:01:48.17\00:01:53.54
their feelings and the server
says, "I'm the one that plated
the food and I'm the one that
00:01:53.58\00:01:59.71
delivered the food but you gave
the gift to the chef," and the
man quite bluntly said,
00:01:59.75\00:02:04.19
"I'll never put the one that
delivered the food on the same
level as the one that created
00:02:04.22\00:02:11.56
the food." And I guess what I'm
saying is that when you've been
00:02:11.59\00:02:15.50
gifted by God, you never give
the same credit to the one that
honed the gift as you do to the
00:02:15.53\00:02:23.00
God that produced the gift and
gave you the gift and developed
it inside of you. Are you
00:02:23.04\00:02:33.01
hearing what I'm saying, church?
And, see, the one thing I need
us to understand is one of the
00:02:33.05\00:02:38.42
mistakes that we make is we make
a distinction between spiritual
gifts and secular gifts.
00:02:38.45\00:02:43.66
See, the problem with that is
that it connotes the idea that
there are certain gifts that are
00:02:43.69\00:02:50.70
given by the spirit and then
there are certain gifts that
emerge out of my own natural
00:02:50.73\00:02:56.04
ability. But how many of us
know that every gift you have is
00:02:56.07\00:03:00.41
spiritual because they're all
assigned and authored by Jesus
00:03:00.44\00:03:06.72
Christ. In fact, the only thing
that makes certain gifts secular
is where you actually employ
00:03:06.75\00:03:14.99
them. You see the miracle here
in Exodus chapter 36 is
essentially where God is
00:03:15.02\00:03:23.53
reclaiming his gifts. He's
saying to his people, you have
used my gifts to build Egypt,
00:03:23.57\00:03:36.04
now, I need you to use my gifts
to build my work. See, one of
the problems with the church as
00:03:36.08\00:03:39.78
we have emerged from the
pandemic is that we use our
gifts to build Egypt but we
00:03:39.81\00:03:54.66
withheld them from building up
God's work. Can I just say it
like I feel it today? I'll be
00:03:54.73\00:04:00.57
honest with you, as we've come
from the pandemic, the only
thing COVID is keeping us from
00:04:00.60\00:04:07.18
doing is serving God. Come on
and say, Amen, today. The truth
is COVID is not keeping us off
00:04:07.21\00:04:13.31
planes, it's not keeping us from
going to work, it's not keeping
us from going out of the
00:04:13.35\00:04:19.25
country, it's not keeping us
from going to the game, it's not
keeping us out of stadiums. The
00:04:19.29\00:04:25.69
only thing it's keeping us out
of is the ministry and the work
of Jehovah. And, see, I need us
00:04:25.73\00:04:30.70
to hear me on this, saints,
because how many of us have been
on this journey of unrealistic
00:04:30.73\00:04:34.70
faith? Has anybody been blessed
by God in an unrealistic way,
00:04:34.74\00:04:38.81
but what I want to caution us is
to not make the journey selfish
where we're only believing for
00:04:38.84\00:04:46.72
my work. I only believe for my
dreams. I only believe for my
brand and I do it at the expense
00:04:46.75\00:04:55.86
of God's work. See, how many of
us know that God doesn't want
you to have to choose between
00:04:55.89\00:05:03.00
doing His work and doing your
own? But he wants as you grow
his work, I need you to know
00:05:03.03\00:05:11.94
that he's going to bless and
grow your work. See, I need you
to get that this text is so
00:05:11.97\00:05:18.25
critical because some of us are
using our gifts to grow Egypt's
work, but we're withholding them
00:05:18.28\00:05:25.59
from God's work. Do you realize
that 1 Corinthians 12 literally
says, saints, that your gifts
00:05:25.62\00:05:35.06
were given to you for the
edification of the body, which
is the Church of God and, see,
00:05:35.10\00:05:41.90
you will never be able to give
your gifts until you understand
why you have been given your
00:05:41.94\00:05:52.75
gifts and, see, the problem is
that we give our gifts to Egypt
but then we lease them to the
00:05:52.78\00:05:59.75
church. See, we're at a place
where we're giving Egypt the
first fruits and we're giving
00:05:59.79\00:06:06.63
Jehovah the leftovers or the
remnants. And, see, this is why,
friends, you to to understand
00:06:06.66\00:06:13.77
the purpose and the reason for
your gifts. See, when I
understand the purpose of my
00:06:13.80\00:06:26.45
gifts and I understand who's
given me my gifts, I then
understand who I'm under
00:06:26.48\00:06:31.49
obligation to. Okay? Let me say
it again. When I understand who
gave me the gift, it becomes
00:06:31.52\00:06:38.39
clear who I'm under obligation
to. So, I need you to understand
that you're not under obligation
00:06:38.43\00:06:44.53
to the one who pays you for your
gifts, your under obligation to
the one who supplied your gifts.
00:06:44.57\00:06:48.24
See, and that's why friends of
mine when you come to serve in
the church, this is why you
00:06:48.27\00:06:58.05
don't come in here like a
volunteer who's doing God or
doing the church or doing the
00:06:58.08\00:07:02.35
pastor a favor. When you come,
you serve no matter whether or
not you like the pastor. You
00:07:02.38\00:07:07.79
serve whether or not the folk
get on your nerves. You serve
even if nobody else comes. Why?
00:07:07.82\00:07:13.03
Because your obligation is not
to the team, it's not to the
people, your obligation is to
00:07:13.06\00:07:18.47
the one who gave you the gifts.
And I'm going to just say
something because I'm feeling
00:07:18.50\00:07:21.47
controversial today. This is why
we need to eliminate the whole
concept of ministry volunteers.
00:07:21.50\00:07:30.35
See, I need us to understand the
reason we've embraced the idea
of being a ministry volunteer.
00:07:30.38\00:07:37.12
Why? Because what that means
is that I'm not under any real
00:07:37.15\00:07:42.46
obligation. You see real
volunteers show up when they
feel like it, they go home when
00:07:42.49\00:07:48.26
they feel like it. They serve
when it's convenient and then
they quit when it's not
00:07:48.30\00:07:52.40
convenient and see they act as
if they are making a donation to
something that is optional for
00:07:52.43\00:07:58.37
them. But how many of us know
that if your gifts have been
given to you by God that you're
00:07:58.41\00:08:03.91
not, a volunteer at the church,
you are under an obligation to
the God who actually gave you
00:08:03.95\00:08:10.95
the gifts. Let me say it how I
feel it. You are volunteer at
the YMCA. You volunteer at The
00:08:10.99\00:08:18.83
Parks and Recreation. You
volunteer at the Community
Reading Club, but when you come
00:08:18.86\00:08:24.23
to the house of God, you are a
soldier that has enlisted in the
army of Christ. You realize that
00:08:24.27\00:08:32.87
he is your commanding officer
and because he gave you the
gifts, you've got an obligation
00:08:32.91\00:08:40.32
to give them back to him and you
feel like this is just your
reasonable act of worship.
00:08:40.35\00:08:47.76
See, friends of mine, when you
understand that your gifts come
from God, when you're asked to
00:08:47.79\00:08:53.40
serve, the first question is not
how much does it pay? Oh, God.
00:08:53.43\00:08:59.07
And let me be clear that I
don't have a problem paying
00:08:59.10\00:09:01.47
or blessing those who serve in
the church but how many of us
understand that when your gifts
00:09:01.50\00:09:08.54
come from God, there is a
different currency that you
00:09:08.58\00:09:12.21
seek. You seek a currency that
is unto the God who gave where
you live to hear him say
00:09:12.25\00:09:18.35
because you've been a good
steward of your gifts. You just
want to hear him say, "Well
00:09:18.39\00:09:25.09
done, good and
faithful servants."
00:09:25.13\00:09:31.43
Do you understand, friends of
mine, that the word Minister
doesn't mean Pastor?
00:09:31.47\00:09:40.71
See, a pastor is just one of
many types of ministers that
actually help to grow the body
00:09:40.74\00:09:48.58
of Christ. Are you with me? But
see the problem is because we
have outsourced all of the
00:09:48.62\00:09:55.26
ministry responsibilities, when
we say Minister, you only look
for somebody that's been to
00:09:55.29\00:10:04.67
Oakwood or the Seminary. And see
what we got to do, friends of
mine, is we've got to
00:10:04.70\00:10:19.41
reinstitute the formula for
success. See, I need somebody to
understand this principle. The
00:10:19.45\00:10:29.19
reason why your work isn't
blessed as it should be is
because you've done it at the
00:10:29.22\00:10:34.10
expense of his work. See, God
never designed you to have to
choose between the growth of His
00:10:34.13\00:10:41.30
kingdom and the growth of your
work, but see the issue is that
we've got to prioritize it the
00:10:41.34\00:10:46.54
correct way. See, remember, go
home and read Matthew chapter 6.
There's some things Jesus told
00:10:46.57\00:10:55.88
us not to even worry about.
Jesus says, stop worrying about
pagan things. He says, don't
00:10:55.92\00:11:02.66
worry about what you're going to
eat and what you're going to
wear and where you're going to
00:11:02.69\00:11:08.23
live. While Pagans chase after
that kind of stuff, your
heavenly father knows what
00:11:08.26\00:11:11.17
things you have need of and he
summarizes the whole thing in
Matthew 6:33 when he says, "Seek
00:11:11.20\00:11:19.57
ye first the kingdom of God and
its righteousness." Watch this,
"All other things will be added
00:11:19.61\00:11:27.78
unto you." Do y'all hear me
today, saints? Do I have at
least seven saints in the room
00:11:27.82\00:11:34.92
that can testify that when you
put God first that you will not
go lacking in any good thing. I
00:11:34.96\00:11:45.30
need you to know that when you
put God first, God will bless
you in an unrealistic way. When
00:11:45.33\00:11:51.24
you put his work first, he'll
bless you in a way where the
math doesn't even add up. That's
00:11:51.27\00:12:00.82
why God said if you give, it'll
be given back to you. Press
down, shaken together, and
00:12:00.85\00:12:04.45
running over. It's why the word
says, "If you give a faithful
tithe and offering, he'll bless
00:12:04.49\00:12:10.19
you in a way that you don't have
room enough to be able to
receive it." That's why the
00:12:10.23\00:12:15.76
Bible in Deuteronomy 28 says
that if you obey the
Commandments of the Lord, he
00:12:15.80\00:12:23.91
says I'll make you the head and
not the tail. I'll put you above
and not beneath. I'll make you a
00:12:23.94\00:12:31.48
lender and not a borrower. Is
there anybody that knows that
when you put God first, you'll
00:12:31.51\00:12:38.52
be blessed in the city, you'll
be blessed in the field, you'll
be blessed when you go in,
00:12:38.55\00:12:46.16
you'll be blessed when you come
out? Your body is going to be
blessed. Your children are going
00:12:46.19\00:12:52.80
to be blessed. Your enemies may
come in a fist, but they don't
run out like some fingers. I
00:12:52.83\00:13:06.85
need you to know that God will
take care of those that
prioritize his business. See,
00:13:06.88\00:13:13.62
friends of mine, this is why the
church is called the body. And
you notice, friends of mine,
00:13:13.66\00:13:25.33
that there is an interesting
relationship between the body
and the heart. So that when the
00:13:25.37\00:13:35.11
body is inactive, it causes
fatty substances to create
blockages in the heart. Because
00:13:35.14\00:13:37.45
the body's inactive. Oh, let me
preach to y'all on this side. In
other words, when the body is
00:13:37.48\00:13:45.29
inactive, it creates a build up
that causes a blockage in the
heart. And so the heart is
00:13:45.32\00:13:54.56
saying I've got blood to send
but because you won't move you
cutting off your own
00:13:54.56\00:14:02.84
circulation. When the body
doesn't move you cut off your
own flow. Is there anybody that
00:14:02.87\00:14:10.85
knows God said, I got blessings
to give the body but because the
body's inactive, they creating a
00:14:10.88\00:14:18.49
build-up? You create your own
blockage, but if you want the
blessing to flow, you got to
00:14:18.52\00:14:26.09
start moving. You got to start
grooving. You got to get active.
And when you start moving, guess
00:14:26.13\00:14:36.60
what? The blessing starts
flowing. The overflow gets
poured out, but you've got to
00:14:36.64\00:14:39.87
move in order for it to come to
pass, are y'all hearing the word
today, saints? [Congregation:
00:14:39.91\00:14:43.31
Yeah. Amen.] Second thing,
friends of mine, about an
unrealistic church. See, I need
00:14:43.35\00:14:50.95
you to get that unrealistic,
saints, give without a lid. You
see, friends of mine, the reason
00:14:50.99\00:15:06.00
there is no lid in this story on
their giving is because there's
no lid temporarily in their
00:15:06.03\00:15:17.58
gratitude. You see, Pastor
Williams, I'm baffled by this
story. Like, these folks are so
00:15:17.61\00:15:28.02
incentivised to give that Moses
has to be like, oh, just don't
bring no more. What you brought
00:15:28.06\00:15:38.40
is more than enough, saints. I'm
looking for this Moses moment
where we get so unrealistic and
00:15:38.43\00:15:45.64
we're so aligned with God that I
have to just say, listen, we
don't need no more. Y'all are
00:15:45.67\00:15:50.08
going to give me this, saints,
come on. See, I want to know
what this formula is so I can
00:15:50.11\00:15:56.02
invoke it at the church, go and
say, Amen. But did you notice
00:15:56.05\00:15:58.19
something? Did you notice that
the Bible says that they gave
free will offerings so nobody
00:15:58.22\00:16:06.86
had to give them a percentage of
what to give? They are just so
thankful that they don't have a
00:16:06.90\00:16:19.54
lid or threshold. They say, we
just go give until the work is
completed. Now, let me just say
00:16:19.57\00:16:29.45
this so that you have some
context because I think there's
something that we have in common
00:16:29.48\00:16:34.99
with these in this story. So, I
need to get that this miracle of
unrealistic giving happens on
00:16:35.02\00:16:44.57
the heel of one of the most
infamous acts of treachery in
00:16:44.60\00:16:47.34
Israelite history. When you get
home, go home and read Exodus 32
through 36, so you can
00:16:47.37\00:16:53.94
understand the context. When you
go back to Exodus chapter 32,
00:16:53.98\00:16:56.44
what happens is you find an
impatient people while Moses is
up in the mountain top that
00:16:56.48\00:17:08.29
begins to pressure Aaron to
begin fashioning a visible
representation of God.
00:17:08.32\00:17:14.23
And so what they do, the Bible
says, is they take all of the
earrings and their necklaces,
00:17:14.30\00:17:19.50
they're gold and they cast it
into the fire, and Aaron
fashions a golden calf,
00:17:19.53\00:17:25.97
and the treachery
isn't just that they do it.
00:17:26.01\00:17:29.11
But once it's done, Aaron
announces that these are the
gods that brought you up out of
00:17:29.14\00:17:37.69
the land of Egypt. And so you
got to read Exodus 32 in verse
9. Listen, I need you to
00:17:37.72\00:17:46.56
understand what was about to go
down. The Bible says, in Exodus
32:9, the Bible says,
00:17:46.59\00:17:50.27
"God told Moses leave me alone
so that my anger will burn so
hot that it consumes every last
00:17:50.30\00:18:03.14
one of the people." But notice
that Moses who begins to
intercede, at that moment,
00:18:03.18\00:18:08.48
begins to act as a type of Jesus
as he intercedes for the people.
00:18:08.52\00:18:14.02
He says, "God, if you do this,
please remember the promise you
00:18:14.06\00:18:20.10
made with Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob." He says, "Lord, if you
do this, it's going to give
00:18:20.13\00:18:26.00
fodder to the enemies of God,
because the Egyptians are going
00:18:26.03\00:18:28.07
to say, you brought us all the
way out here into the
wilderness, to kill them and
00:18:28.10\00:18:36.54
Moses intercedes for the
people. Are y'all still with me?
00:18:36.58\00:18:38.31
But then Moses goes down from
the mountain and sees it for
00:18:38.35\00:18:44.15
himself. And Moses gets so mad
that he breaks the commandments
in half. And then when he goes
00:18:44.19\00:18:50.86
back up, he gives partial
intersection. So, when he goes
up again, he says, Lord, if
00:18:50.89\00:18:57.93
you're going to block them out,
remember my name. Moses begins
to dissociate himself. He's
00:18:57.97\00:19:07.28
like, Lord, if you kill them,
remember, I was up here with
you. Don't put my name in that
00:19:07.31\00:19:15.88
right there, Lord. I was up here
with you when it happened. I
found out the same time. I found
00:19:15.92\00:19:30.50
out the same time you found out.
Are y'all hear what I'm saying?
But I need you to understand how
00:19:30.53\00:19:40.88
the story should have ended so
you won't get why they gave the
way they gave until you
00:19:40.91\00:19:44.51
understood what they understood.
See, I need you to understand,
friends of mine, that they are
00:19:44.55\00:19:51.22
not responding to some law-based
compulsion. They literally begin
to respond to the mercy and the
00:19:51.25\00:20:02.46
long-suffering and the grace of
the Almighty God. So that by the
time you get to verse 34, God
00:20:02.50\00:20:07.64
says to Moses, "Go ahead and
lead the people to the land that
I told you about ahead of time."
00:20:07.67\00:20:14.71
When you get to verse 9, the
Bible literally says that the
Lord relented from the thing
00:20:14.74\00:20:25.79
which he was going to do to the
children of Israel. By the time
you get to Chapter 33, he gives
00:20:25.82\00:20:33.66
Moses the assurance that my
presence is going to continue to
go with you. By the time you get
00:20:33.70\00:20:38.97
to Chapter 34, He reissues the
broken commandments and he
renews the Covenant that he made
00:20:39.00\00:20:43.27
with them before they left
Egypt. And guess what? They are
so happy that the story does not
00:20:43.30\00:20:49.64
end the way that it should. See,
Moses told them, y'all better
pray because something is about
00:20:49.68\00:20:55.35
to bust out on all of y'all but
understand that they are holding
their breath, they are fasting
00:20:55.38\00:21:00.06
and praying. They are
anticipating the worst and when
they get the word that the
00:21:00.09\00:21:06.19
covenant has been renewed, the
next time they get a chance, the
Bible says that they take all
00:21:06.23\00:21:12.40
the earrings out of their ears,
and they take the necklaces off
their necks, they take the
00:21:12.43\00:21:17.67
scarlet that they got from linen
and they throw it at the feet of
the temple and they keep giving
00:21:17.71\00:21:27.08
until the work is done. In other
words, friends of mine, the
reason they give with such
00:21:27.12\00:21:33.62
unlimited ways is because they
have such unlimited gratitude.
In other words, why are the
00:21:33.66\00:21:41.83
people of God so thankful?
Because they know what the law
demanded. Oh, God. See, they're
00:21:41.86\00:21:50.74
just so thankful because they
know how it should have ended.
They're thankful because they
00:21:50.77\00:21:58.55
know how the story should have
been told. But they are just
thankful that even though they
00:21:58.58\00:22:06.25
should have been cut off, the
power of God showed mercy. See,
I need you to understand,
00:22:06.29\00:22:13.53
friends of mine, the reason
there should be no limit in our
giving is because there should
00:22:13.56\00:22:21.54
be no limit with our gratitude
because there was no limit to
the grace we received. Is there
00:22:21.57\00:22:29.28
anybody that's thankful that we
had somebody interceding for us?
See, Moses was a partial
00:22:29.31\00:22:36.12
interceder because Moses
interceded but he got to a point
where he says, if you killed
00:22:36.15\00:22:43.12
them save me. But we've got a
better intercessor who said,
don't kill them, kill me so that
00:22:43.16\00:22:52.37
they can live. Is there anybody
today that's just thankful that
when you should have been cut
00:22:52.40\00:22:59.61
off, God had mercy? Is there
anybody grateful that he changed
his mind? Anybody thankful that
00:22:59.64\00:23:03.75
you didn't get what you deserve?
Does anybody know that because
of the way you lived when you
00:23:03.78\00:23:09.32
was drinking and driving, you
should have been dead? But God
blocked it. Because of how you
00:23:09.35\00:23:18.73
lived, you should have had AIDS
but God blocked it. There are
some of us that should have got
00:23:18.76\00:23:21.96
shot at the club, but God
blocked it and you are here
today, not because you're good,
00:23:22.00\00:23:30.47
not because you deserve
it, but because mercy said no.
00:23:30.51\00:23:36.08
Do I have any folks that don't
have to be guilty to give? Ain't
never try to force you to give.
00:23:36.11\00:23:43.69
I'm just going to keep reminding
you where your help comes from.
00:23:43.72\00:23:49.06
I want to keep reminding you
that God opens up doors that no
00:23:49.09\00:23:55.16
man can shut. That God makes a
way when there is no way that
God comes through right in the
00:23:55.20\00:24:03.47
nick of time. I just want to
remind you that we haven't been
saved by works, haven't been
00:24:03.51\00:24:11.15
saved by the law, we've been
saved by the amazing grace of
00:24:11.18\00:24:20.36
the Almighty God.
Hallelujah to the lamb today.
00:24:20.39\00:24:24.63
See, friends of mine, the reason
they don't give with the lid is
because they understand that a
00:24:24.66\00:24:36.14
lid works both ways. Are y'all
still with me, church? See, the
reason they don't give a lid is
00:24:36.17\00:24:41.01
because the lid works two ways
so that the same way there's
water in this container, guess
00:24:41.04\00:24:48.88
what? The word that we lid keeps
it from spilling out. Y'all
00:24:48.92\00:24:54.86
didn't catch that. The lid will
help me hold on to what I have.
The lid will help me keep what I
00:24:54.89\00:25:03.26
already have. But
there's a problem with the lid.
00:25:03.30\00:25:06.13
The lid will help me keep what I
have but it'll keep me-- y'all
not hearing where the church at.
00:25:06.17\00:25:15.91
It'll keep me from being
able to get anything else.
00:25:15.94\00:25:20.65
But do I have a few folks that
are willing to remove the lid
00:25:20.68\00:25:26.05
because you don't want to just
keep what you have? You want God
to fill you into the overflow.
00:25:26.09\00:25:35.40
You're saying, "God, I'm going
to remove the lid because I
still got a little more room."
00:25:35.43\00:25:41.64
You're saying, "God, I'm going
to take off the lid because I
got some more to receive."
00:25:41.67\00:25:47.14
Can somebody say I'm ready for
the overflow? But you can't be
in the overflow as long as
00:25:47.18\00:25:54.82
you've got a lid. So, somebody,
take off the lid and make some
room for God to pour out such a
00:25:54.85\00:26:02.62
blessing that you don't even
have the room to receive it.
Remove the lid from your faith,
00:26:02.66\00:26:14.27
from your stewardship, from your
hope, and make room for what God
has in store for you.
00:26:14.30\00:26:24.68
See, friends of mine,
00:26:24.71\00:26:26.78
I just stopped by here today to
let us know that the unrealistic
church comes from a people of
00:26:26.82\00:26:34.62
great gratitude who realize that
I got unrealistic grace. I've
got unrealistic faith.
00:26:34.66\00:26:39.36
I've been saved by an
unrealistic sacrifice because it
was the blood of Jesus that did
00:26:39.39\00:26:49.67
it. It was the blood that
secured my salvation. I'm
willing to do what God has told
00:26:49.70\00:26:57.78
me to do. I'm willing to serve,
Pastor, until you say I don't
need no more people to serve.
00:26:57.81\00:27:03.49
I'm willing to give
until the work is complete
00:27:03.52\00:27:08.79
because I've removed the lid and
the reason I don't put a lid on
it is I want to make room for
00:27:08.82\00:27:18.90
the overflow and everything that
God wants to pour in my life. If
you're thankful for the blood,
00:27:18.93\00:27:26.88
give him a phrase today.
