After everything that I’ve been through this year, the last thing I’m going to do is leave this year without giving God something crazy. So I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do. I only have 42 minutes to thank Him for a whole year of miracles, and I’m battling between: do I teach the word, do I release the prophetic, do I sing, or do I laugh at the Devil for trying to take me out? Or do I do a whole comedy show on how that fool tried to mess me up, but all it did was actually make me better? I’m trying to figure out if I shout, if I sing, if I cry, or if I worship, because I’m thinking about the car accidents that should have taken me out. I’m thinking about how much the money was not there when I thought I needed it, but right at the last possible moment, God showed up.
And I’m figuring I’m not the only person with this testimony, so I’m just going to keep talking until I’ve got a church full of people who can agree with me. Because the last thing I need to do on the last hour of the 2024 year is shout by myself. I’m sure there’s somebody in here who can find a reason with no band to give God praise. Maybe they’re online, maybe they’re in a seat in the front, maybe they’re in the balcony; who knows? But what I do know is this is a corporate moment for us to create a sound that heaven has never heard. Because we have never all been in this room on December 31st of 2024. This is the first and last moment that we will have like this.
You need to take a snapshot of me because I will never be broke again. You need to take a snapshot of me because I will not carry this sickness any longer. No, no, no! Even now, even now, even now, these fibroids in your body are shriveling. Now, whose L5 disc has been troubling you and pinching a nerve? It’s shifting now. Here’s what’s crazy: a pain in your back has to go with a wave of your hand! If you can just wave, if you can just offer with a wave a «Thank you, Jesus!» Do you know how confusing it is to the enemy for you to give God praise while you’re still in pain? To give God praise while all your bills are not paid? To give God praise while your husband’s acting like a complete fool? Giving God praise while you’re single and believing God, and everybody around you looks to be booed up, and you’re still eating popcorn watching Netflix? Just hold on, baby! God has a promise for you that’s greater than the tears that you’ve cried.
Do not settle because loneliness came to visit. I wonder, Victor, if I can find five men that would give God crazy praise and set it off in this place. I wonder if there are some grown men who love God who will step out of their seat and just start banging on stuff and just slapping the fool out the back of the pew. Are there any men that don’t mind making noise? See, I love my church because I have a church full of real dudes. They shout for real! Their knuckles are ashy; they don’t have shiny fingertips. They go after God! Here’s the thing: when a church has strong men, you know that the women are going to take it to the next level.
I wonder if there are any radical, crazy Proverbs 31 women. Where are the Ruths? Where are the Naomis? Where are the Deboras? Where are the Esters? Huh? I’m looking for you! The ones that don’t mind praise and don’t care what you think about them. God’s been too good. Where are those women at? Where are the women who cried and praised at the same time? Where are the women who did not let a «no» stop them from giving God glory? Where are the women who kept getting up even when you didn’t have help? But you did have help because all your help comes from the Lord!
God, get the glory out of the last few minutes of this year after a year full of chaos and weather anomalies, political violence, upheaval, wars, and rumors of war, shifting tectonic plates, financial inaccuracies, and all manner of foolishness in the credit markets. And what-interest rates and what’s happening; and God, what are you doing?
After all that, I need you to dust somebody’s shoulder off and tell them, «You look good! You look good!» After everything 2024 tried to do to you, baby, you look-hey, you’re shining! Hey! You need to speak life to about five people. Point it out: «You’re shining! You’re shining! You look good!» Stay focused! Big, don’t be rubbing on your wife’s kneecap, just stay focused! Tell somebody, «You’re shining, baby! You’re shining!»
How many people felt the pressure of 2024? There was pressure. God stretched you. You had to give more than you’ve given before. Family members-some of them ungrateful as a mug! How you going to be ungrateful, and you can’t even help yourself? You blessed him with something, and this is all you brought? What you mean, «This is all I brought?» It’s all you got, and God said, «Don’t say nothing; just keep loving them.» What’s the lesson? Because I do that for you.
I’m just wondering if there’s a church that is ready to receive a word from the Lord after a very difficult, bruising, challenging 2024. This time last year, I stood up here in a tiny black jacket with a silver shiny lapel. I will never do that again in my life. Why did y’all let me look like some aluminum foil with a brisket inside? Jesus, help me! What is wrong with my spirit?
But here’s the thing about pressure: it creates something that cannot be easily broken and can’t be destroyed. You’re looking real diamond-like right now; you’re looking real expensive! Cuz 2024's price is not 2025's price for your time, for your anointing, for your calling, for your purpose. Because after what you’ve been through, God has added value to your life, to your words, to your anointing, to your testimony. Pop your collar, tell them, «I’m expensive! I’m expensive!» You might have called me with the Waffle House anointing last year, but 2025, baby, I’m all about the steakhouse!
Get your Bible out for the last time in 2024! Ronald, can you hand me my glasses, please? In that case, thank you! I’m going to put them on now. I’m going to put them on for you, that’s what I’m going to do. I want you to go to Genesis. I need you to go to the beginning because in 32 minutes and 12 seconds, it’ll be a new beginning. Y’all playing; I can already tell there are going to be two parts. We’re going to have to do the rest on Sunday, but I’ve got to get this done right now.
Genesis chapter 1, verse 1: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void. Problem number one: how did He create it, and now it’s already without form and void? And darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
So let’s get this straight: in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Okay, so there was water, there was darkness, there was water; the earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. Darkness!
But then the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. But y’all, Scripture tells me that God dwells in unapproachable light, and the Bible says that God is light, and there is no darkness in Him. So how could He arrive, and it still be dark? That’s unless the darkness He is speaking of is not natural but spiritual.
I have to teach you before you shout. We’ve shouted without knowledge, and it has cost us. But you’re going to shout with some knowledge. So the Spirit of the Eternal Creator God-yes, sir, Yahweh-yes, sir, Olivet Elohim, Yahweh; He whose very name is on the breath of your lips. If you just breathe in «Yah» and out «way,» even if you don’t want to call His name, your breath calls for Him! Tell somebody, «Just keep breathing! Every time you breathe, you’re praying God, God, God, and He’s right there! He’s hovering!»
Yes, sir! There was darkness, there was water, there was a voidless, formless earth, and then God said, «Let there be light.» It was dark, it was without form, and void — darkness was over the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering. And then He goes from observation and contemplation into declaration, and He says, «Be!»
Yeah, I don’t know what you came to do this evening, but for the next 29 minutes, we are going to give God a new praise! And God said, «Have five, seven people, and tell them, 'Let there be! '» Yo, y’all missed it! Let there be! Samson, you’re head of the young adults; can you find seven more people, please? And I need you to say, «Let there be!»
Some of you are saying, «Let there be what?» No, you missed it; He said that God is now waiting on you to create! Is that you in the balcony? I thought that was you. After everything the devil tried, you still made it to the last service of the year up in that balcony! Oh my God, I can’t really see you because it’s dark, but I see you shining! It’s almost like you’ve been through the fire and you came out pure gold-kind of like 24 karat!
I’m just saying it feels like it’s a little bit on them. You can hit it! You can hit it because I feel like it’s a little bit of tonight. I just want to take you up in the sky, let’s set this party on. So, what y’all really trying to do tonight? I’m just saying, just saying, I’m just saying.
Because it’s a little bit of 24 karat magic in the air! Look out! Stop! 'Cause y’all don’t want to act right! Don’t give it to Him yet because some of y’all are like, «I actually like this.» Because if I was going to come to church instead of the club, I just need a little bit to remind me-20 car! You need a little bit of sh-do-do, I want to love you-give it to Him, B! Give it to Him, baby!
All right, stop it! That was a great note! Somebody shout, «Let there be!» Now go ahead and be seated! The person sitting next to you is not optional. I know that there are people who walk past you and look down on you like they’re better than you, like they know you, like they know your story, like they know your testimony-but they don’t! They’re ready to throw you into a hell that they’re going to bust wide open before you ever get to the gate.
The reason why people don’t know how to take you is that they’ve never seen a you before. You can go from killing them in a fresh corporate suit to throwing it on and showing some kneecaps and killing them. You can hit them with a very nice «to meet you» or, to «Ooh» — kill them. You can give them a little bit of praise dance, and if you need to at the barbecue with the family, you can back it up just slightly.
You have the ability to be balanced, nuanced, global, local, and regional when God calls for you to be. I’m talking to the women in here that can become seven different females depending on what the moment needs. My baby needs a mama; the job needs a boss; mama needs a daughter; my man needs a-hello!
Listen! God also is raising up multifaceted men who are worshippers first and who are warriors right after that! Don’t get it twisted! We love God, but we’re not soft with our praise. We give God real praise because we come from real places. I’m just looking for a few men that can be more than one thing because when God said «Let there be,» He created man in His image, according to His likeness, and He gave you dominion.
So real men know how to handle dominion, know how to walk in authority, know how to speak life, know how to be tender, know how to cover, know how to protect, and know how to swing if they need to! Somebody shout, «Let there be!» Somebody say, «Let there be!» Pastor, what do you mean, «Let there be?»
There was God hovering over the face of the waters, and it was without form and void. Water, for those who are taking notes (and I didn’t anticipate that many would), but if you are, you can grab this: water has always been symbolic of the word of God. In the word, if you see water, «Out of your belly will flow rivers of living water.» A word that’s going to usher in salvation!
Because when you preach Jesus, when you present Jesus, when you share Jesus with somebody, they can get saved. They can get saved when you present them with the truth of the Gospel, the love of Jesus Christ. Anytime you see water, you need to think word. There’s a word!
So when God is hovering over the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters, what He was doing is what the word said, which is He watches over His word to perform it. The reason why you can’t seem to get away from God is because He’s been hovering over you all of 2024. The only reason you’re still alive is because God was hovering over you.
Is there anybody that’s grateful that God did not back up, but He hovered over you? When hurricanes were ripping up houses in this community, is anybody grateful that God kept you? Oh, I feel like there’s about 19 more people that ought to thank God that He hovered over you! Had He not covered you, you wouldn’t be alive tonight! Who am I talking to? If it had not been for God, you wouldn’t have what you have right now!
And before you start complaining about what you didn’t get, what you didn’t get was a premature death! What you didn’t get is-is there anybody grateful for God hovering over you? Why did He hover over you? Because of what He’s spoken concerning you!
I’m going to need some intercessors — how do you feel? You feel okay? All right. Listen, God can’t let you go because He spoke some things that have not come to pass yet. I’ve got an aunt on the second row; her name is Aunt Joyce, all the way from the big city of Dothan, Alabama. Okay? She is the mother of one of our elders, Elder Angela, and I was there when they told us that she would not live. It was 10 years ago-she would not live. It was something with her liver or something; it was over! She was in ICU. I went; I saw her, and I told you this ain’t God’s will. We need to pray!
And then my mother had just come out of a battle with end- stage pancreatic metastatic cancer, and she got on the phone while she was in ICU and said, «I’m praying for you, and I’m declaring that the God that healed me is going to do the same for you!»
Now, while she’s praying, the doctors are telling the family that she should be-what was it? Hospice care? Palliative treatment? She’s not going to recover; we need to figure out who’s going to do the funeral service. Aunt Joyce, can you just stand up for a second? Because that was 10 years ago!
Let there be! I need you to know there’s a miracle on your row; you just don’t know who you’re sitting next to! I wish every miracle in this room and online would give God a praise! If you’ve got a let there be in your spirit, I dare you to give God a praise right now! No! All the let there be-when the enemy said let there be death, God said, «No! Let there be life! Let there be eviction-no! Let there be a miracle-breathe right into their account!»
Who am I talking to? You’re in a moment of deep creation! Oh my Lord, you’re in a moment of creation and recreation! Tell somebody, «Recreate!» I don’t know who this is for, but you gave up on that dream, and God did not; He did not give up on that dream. He just put it on the shelf because there were some people connected to you that needed to get out of your life!
Now, you’re sitting up early this year, depressed, saying, «Oh my God, the relationship didn’t work out! Jesus! When is it my turn? When am I going to get my Boaz?» And God was like, if you just understand that my timing is perfect! 2024 was the year to remove; 2024 was the year to expose; 2024 was the year for better discernment. So 2025 is the year of the arrival of the promise! 2025 is the arrival of «Yes!» 2025 is, «Come on in; we’ve been waiting for you!» 2025 is the year of the open door because it is the year of order!
I need 100 people that caught that to shout out loud up in the balcony and down here. And on three, somebody shout, «Let there be!» 2024 was a year of chaos! What comes after chaos? I’m sorry, say it again! God shows up in chaos! How many people can say 2024 had some chaos on it? How many people say it was some chaos in my life? I need hands; I just need to make sure I’m talking to the right people. Only the people that saw chaos in your money, in your mind, in your spirit, in your relationships!
You thought you were fine; you were doing good! All of a sudden, depression just flew into the house! Keep waving until I’m talking to you! I’m just talking to some people that are going to be real; it’s some stuff you thought you were completely delivered from. It showed up like, «I’m still here! I’m still here! I ain’t going nowhere, 'cause I’m still here.»
But in the midst of all that, something in you said, «God’s working something out!» So from chaos to order. But what happened between the chaos and the order? The arrival of God! So what does that mean for all of us who had chaos in 2024? We should take heart because God was actually drawn to the chaos!
You know religious people who tell you, «God, oh look at your life-that’s a mess! God can’t do nothing with you!» And God was like, «I need the more mess!» The sooner I can show up and begin my creative work, it was dark, and then God said, «Let there be light!»
But check this out-put this caption on the screen. I need the people to get a science lesson real quick! I just need y’all to catch this-put it up! I don’t know if they can see it: The sun, a star, formed about 4.6 billion years ago, predates the earth’s formation. It originated from a cloud of gas and dust undergoing nuclear fusion to produce energy.
Next: Meanwhile, water molecules on Earth have existed for billions of years, likely arriving on the planet through various cosmic processes, like comets and asteroids colliding with the Earth! The stuff that hits you is actually producing more water, more Word. The stuff that you thought was coming to steal, kill, and destroy was actually making you more anointed, giving you more of a testimony!
I got more! I got more; keep going; hurry! I only got 14 minutes! Some studies suggest water’s presence on our planet dates back to its early formation-possibly within the first few hundred million years. Therefore, while the sun’s formation preceded Earth, the water currently present on our planet might indeed be older, having arrived from celestial sources during the Earth’s early evolution.
Which means there was water before there was a sun! Now that should make you shout when you read that. When He said, «Let there be light,» He wasn’t talking about a sun, because He didn’t create the sun until day four! Wait-they' re not shouting! I’m giving you science because everybody needs to understand! Science backs God, not the other way around!
So if He didn’t make the sun until day four, what light was He talking about on day one? What He’s really saying is, «I need Jesus! Let there be Jesus!» They missed it; that was by the way! Anytime you say «Jesus» on New Year’s Eve, that’s when you spell «Tash!» But I’m going to give you one more chance! I’m going to give you one more chance!
God the Father said, «I need to create, but I’m not going to create without light!» But God doesn’t need to see to create because He’s all-seeing and all-knowing! What He was saying is, «The earth needs Jesus!» So then John chapter 1 now makes sense: through Him, all things were made that were made, and not one thing that was made was made without Him!
So the Father started His creation by introducing the earth to the person of Jesus! The reason why you can’t die is because there is a word from heaven, and Jesus is backing it, and the Holy Spirit is on the inside, and you will not die until you fulfill what the Father has declared!
And I need every blood-washed believer to get that in your spirit and shout like you’ve lost your mind! All of this singing done took up my good preaching time! But I need to tell you this, who’s ready for the word for 2025? This is only for the people who struggled this year believing God with the last you had-making whatever you had stretch. I’m only talking to the ones who cried and prayed.
I’m only talking to people who drove to church and were discouraged while they were driving. «I don’t even know why I’m going. This don’t make no darn sense! He answers my prayers anyway; He answers everybody else’s prayers. Sharena got her a man; I’m still driving solo; got to pump my own gas; it’s 8:00 at night; it’s dark outside!»
I’m only talking to people that were weary because 2024 wore you down! I just need you to know the Lord just breathed in your direction! 2025-watch this-is the year to create! God says, «If you just say it, I’mma get behind it!»
Hear me! It is the year of supernatural creativity! You’ve got to grab this! God is releasing you into your most creative, ingenious self! I don’t know why all of my stuff is acting crazy right now-all my alerts are going off. It’s funny because it’s saying the signal is low and it can’t read my blood sugar right now. I don’t know what’s going on 'cause I got this little thing 'cause you know I’m getting free from my diabetes!
'Cause I’m losing the weight! By the way, 2025 is going to see the best you in the history of yourself! I’m talking eight-pack you! I’m talking healed and whole you! The debt-free you! I prophesy because the Lord told me chaos last year! But now everything is coming to order!
I need everybody to do this because everything is coming together! I need you to type it in the chat feed-tell five people everything is coming together! No, you didn’t tell five people! You didn’t even tell one! Everything is coming together! Did you tell five people? 'Cause if you didn’t, you’re disobedient! Everything is coming together! If you believe it, there it is, Linton-everything!
My plans! My dreams! My hopes! Watch this! The reason why you can’t die is because God said your name! You missed it! You missed this! Don’t please, Sahann, don’t make me shout here. The reason you can’t go anywhere is because God said your name!
There were people that don’t want me here but God said my name! So if God said your name, no human can erase what God has declared! What do I mean? I’m just G to go to my notes. I’m going to go to my notes. The rest of it you’re going to get on Sunday, but I’m going to give you this. You’re going to get this here! You G! Oh, you’re going to get this!
So God says, «Let there be light!» He starts creating; the earth spins on its axis every day! Nice! The earth spins on a rotation on an angle on its axis! God said, «I don’t tell the earth to do that every day; I told it once!»
I need seven crazy praisers! I don’t tell her that! There He is! I don’t talk to the earth every day; I told it once! The sun doesn’t rise; the earth revolves! The sun never moves; it just looks like it does! But I told the sun to stand still! I told the earth to move!
I need you to know it’s a whole lot of people thinking they can move you; they can’t move you 'cause God put you in place! I need everybody to throw up the one real quick! God told the earth to rotate on its axis once; He doesn’t tell it to spin daily! Once was enough!
God created systems, structure, and order! I need you to hear me! 2025 is the year for systems, structure, and order to do the work that you could not have produced in the last 20 years! God said by the end of the fast, for those who will apply themselves in discipline and prayer, I will give you systems, structure, and order that will last until the Lord Jesus comes back! Your grandchildren will inherit what you create in 2025!
I’m sorry! God spoke once! The earth is still spinning! The reason why folk can’t stand you is because God spoke your name! He doesn’t have to keep speaking it; He spoke it, and everywhere your name goes, His word goes! James, they didn’t catch it!
You need to understand that at this point in your life, you need to have theme music! Because God has decided to announce you! 2025-first of all, 2024 was attack after attack after attack! 2025 is arrival and announcement! After everything you’ve been through, honey, you’re going to walk in there shining with a different level of anointing- with a different flavor! You’re not going to be scared of corporate heads, and you’re not going to be scared of this, that, and you’re going to walk in with your theme music!
Tell somebody, «I got theme music!» Play me some theme music, man! Play me some theme music! I feel like I got — I feel like I got- I got theme music! I’m sorry, I just needed y’all to hear-I got theme music!
Watch this! Because the word in Zephaniah says God sings over you! We got less than five minutes in this year! We got four minutes and 18 seconds before the year is over! And you need to know after all of the chaos and the disorder and the hell that you’ve been through, God is declaring order, structure, systems!
Watch this! Increase- overflow! It is the year of-watch this-order! God says, «I’m not moving if it’s not in order!» That means Jesus has to be at the foundation of it! Jesus needs to be in the middle of it! Jesus needs to be at the top of it! Jesus needs to be the reason for it!
Am I talking to anybody? Somebody say, «Order! Order!» Watch this! When you get it in order, God will say, «May I take your order?» Because God will always back His word!
Oh my God, it’s three minutes to go in the year! And I’m going to need you to tell somebody next to you, «Get that off of you! That stays in 2024! Get the bitterness off! Get the unforgiveness off!»
Stand up! We only got three minutes! Hurry, hurry! 2025 is the year of order! It is the year of the creative! Where the creative people? Where are the creative geniuses? Some of y’all need to have an art show in 2025 of the stuff that you draw! Some of y’all need to write three books-not one!
Where are the people who know they’re called to television, industry, and movies? Where are y’all? Where are the high-level entrepreneurs that are going to be bringing 100 and 200 jobs to the economy? You’ve got two minutes to get the chaos off of you!
I’m going to give you two minutes right now to get the chaos off of you. Matter of fact, one minute! I need you to go on and get with your crew, and y’all need to, number one, praise and tell somebody, «You made it!» And then dust them off! Say, «Let me get the unforgiveness off of you! Let me get the bitterness off of you! Let me get the past off you! Let’s get the debt off of you!»
Get it off their shoulders! Play me something! You got less than two minutes! Less than two minutes! Y’all stay back from these! Stay back from these! Oh, stop all that crying!
I’m just looking for somebody in the balcony that says, «I got one minute to give God praise! After everything that I came through in 2024! 2024 was a year of chaos, but it’s ushering in the year of order! The year for those who are walking in supernatural creativity to have favor on the thing that lifts up Jesus!
Let there be Jesus in the midst of your creativity! Let there be Jesus in the midst of your dreams! Let there be Jesus in the midst of your hope! Let there be Jesus! Pray over your children! Pray over your family! Pray over your spouses! Pray over your relationships!
42! 41! 40! 39! 38! 37! You’re only allowed to shout if you’re leaving chaos and stepping into God’s order! Uh -oh! 20! 19! 18! 17! 16! 15! 14! 13! 12! 11! 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! You made it! You made it! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Oh yeah! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
2025! All right! All right! You look better already! Yes, you do! I’m sorry, but you look like 2025! You look like an overcomer! You look like you’re victorious! You look like you got authority! You look like you got some power!
I’m sorry, can I apply for a job at your company? I’m declaring 16 new millionaires by May 1st! That God will breathe on your businesses! I said that God will breathe on your businesses! I’m declaring that God will not just give you the money; He’ll give you the systems, the structure, and the order to maximize what He gives you in seed form! Did anybody hear what I said?
I want to leave it there. Leave it there! Leave it right there! Yeah! That’s my hair! I’ve been praying for hair; He gave me white hair! Thank you, Jesus! Oh yes! I need somebody to-I need somebody to hear what I’m about to say! Oh my Lord! For three months, the Lord kept saying 6.5! 6.5 million! 6.5! And I don’t know when it’s coming! I don’t know if it’s a contract or if it’s a-but it’s coming!
And it’s what comes to you! It’s coming to you! And I saw it for the last three months, and every time the Holy Ghost puts you in my spirit, I see it! Please let me know when that contract shows up because I’m going to rejoice with God over you!
There are some kingdom-minded people in this room! If you want to start this year off with some prayer and some praise before you leave, 'cause I know you’re going to turn up, let me pray over you! So you don’t get no ticket driving from that club! Come down here-let me pray for you! Hurry up! Come on! Come on! If you need some prayer to kick off this new year, come on in!
One second! That’s right! Go! Whatever that is, do that thing! If you want to get saved today, salvation-I want them to step on the stage! If you’re giving your life to Jesus or you’re joining the church, if you’re rededicating, join me on this platform! If that’s you, somebody say it’s the year of order! It’s the year of the creative!
Listen! On this Sunday, I’m going to give you meat for the prophetic word! Watch this! 'Cause some of y’all did some things that were creative- you were trying to push the envelope in 2024! It didn’t work! You were not wrong! You were early!
It was the right idea, but God needed the earth to be ready! Listen to me! Break this down! Watch this, Dante! When Adam was working, Pastor A, he was working by himself based on a word from God! The harvest was so crazy that God said, „He can no longer do this by himself! He needs someone comparable to him!“
So the first thing God did was say, „Adam, name everything around you!“ After he named everything, it was clear there was nothing for him! I need you to know that you’ve been providing for many people in many areas! And you said, „Lord, what about me?“ Who am I talking to?
There are still areas in me that are still empty! There are things that I need at the deepest levels of my humanity! I need you to know that in 2025, God is filling all voided spaces with His presence! Watch this! His presence-P-R-E-S-E-N-C-E and His P-R-E-S-E-N-T-S!
So His presence! He’s also bringing gifts! Somebody say, „The year of order!“ If you’re here, you want to join or you want to be a member of this church, you want to rededicate, meet me on the stage! Meet me on the platform! If that’s you, wave your hand and say, „I’m giving my life to Jesus! I’m going to start the year off right! I’m going to get that in order!“
If you want order, let-that’s the first order of business! Let there be Jesus in the midst of your chaos! Let’s welcome her! Come on! Come on! She’s not the only one! Come on, buddy! Hey, man! How you doing? Good! I’m glad to see you, man! Let’s help her! Let’s not leave her to walk up by herself! Elders, pastors, welcome! God bless you!
Is there anybody else? Anybody else? Anybody else? Anybody else? Let her through! Oh-oh! Is there anybody else? Is there anybody else? Is there anybody else? Is there anybody else? Is it one or two in there? Is there anybody else?
Is there anybody else that wants to get saved? Is there anybody else that wants a brand new start? Is there anybody else that wants some new freedom? Is there anybody else who wants some new-oh, I know that’s right! Baby boy, you’re like, „That’s how we-y’all sometimes come to Jesus just crying!“ It’s all right baby! Grateful that y’all are here!
Is there anybody else? Anybody else? Anybody else? Anybody else? Is there anybody else? Come on, we get ready to go turn up at IHOP! Waffle House- going to Waffle House! Jesus is trying to get y’all to commit! He’s over here like, „You can’t keep running in and out of my life! I need you to come up! I’m going to make you my bride!“
Hands lifted: Father, we ended 2024 with praise! We’re going to start 2025 with praise! Go ahead and let one out now! Stretch your hands in this way to everybody that’s on this platform, and I want you all to repeat this prayer after me:
„Lord Jesus, it’s me! I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is Lord! Thank You for the blood that was shed for me! I receive the free gift of salvation, not through my works but the finished work of the cross! The blood is enough to pay for all my sins! Now, Holy Spirit, come live inside and teach me how to be more like Jesus each and every day! You are my Savior and my Lord! In Jesus' name, amen!“
