Recognizing Responding and Walking Through Open Doors

Hi, this is Pastor Daniel Bracken. You're listening to Kings Alaska Podcast. I hope the Word encourages you and you get a touch from God that brings transformation and equips you to experience life with people, power and purpose. Thank you for joining us. Enjoy the Word.

Let's read the Word Revelation, chapter three, starting in verse seven. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia. Right. These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David. He who opens.

And no one shuts and shuts and no one opens. I know your works. See, I've set before you an open door and no one can shut it, for you have little strength. You've kept my word and have not denied my name. Indeed, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie.

Indeed, I will make them come and worship before your feet and to know that I have loved you because you've kept my command to persevere. I'll also keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly. Hold fast what you have that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I'll make him a pillar in the temple of my God.

And he shall go out no more. I'll write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which come down, comes down out of heaven from my God. And I will write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Smith spirit says to the churches. Let's pray.

Father, thank you for your word. Thank you, oh God, thank you for your word. A lamp into our feet, a light upon our path. Pray, oh God, would you give me an auction by the Spirit to preach, to teach what you have put on my heart for even this next season, this year, 2026. God, give us ears to hear, even as he says there, give us ears.

He who has an ear, let us let him hear what you're saying to the church in this hour. And we thank you for it. In Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. And he says, there, see, I've set before you an open door.

An open door assumes that there's going to be a response. You're going to do something about it. When there's an open door, God is assuming there's going to be a response from it. But there are invisible barriers that can hinder us, that can prevent us, strongholds in our minds. I can't do that.

I don't know how to do that. That job's for somebody else. I'm not good enough. I'm not educated enough, Whatever the thing is, like Pastor Tim said, maybe you think you don't have enough money to do something. Maybe whatever stronghold there is, I'm too broken.

I'm too great. I don't know what it is. There's strongholds in our mind, strongholds that rise up against what the word of God says about you, who you are and what he's called you do. There's strongholds that prevent us from walking through those doors. Those things hem us in.

Unbelief mindsets, impregnated with hopelessness contrary to the word of God. That's the definition of that. There's circumstances, you know, Some people have been through great tragedy, difficulty, painful things that have caused you not to want to, like, reach out. I was praying for somebody once, and they said, you know, I've just been so hurt by so many people. I don't want to step out in faith.

I don't want to be. Make new friends. I don't want to be close to people. I want to just be like a turtle and go lick my wounds because I've been hurt. Whatever it is, there's circumstances.

Death, rejection. Like I said, whatever it is, there's circumstances that will hem us in. There are circumstances, uncertainty, fear. These things cause fear, hesitation, second guessing. Maybe that isn't a door that got open.

Anybody ever second guess themselves? I second guess myself. God, is that you? I don't know. I'm like this hesitancy, not knowing, not being able to step out in faith because I don't know.

And I don't trust the spirit of God on the inside of me, right? And so tonight, God is saying, move forward. Move forward. Step through that door. It doesn't make any sense.

Maybe in the natural. Whatever that door is, identify the door, respond, recognize it, and move through the door. It didn't make sense to Moses. Can you imagine Moses coming upon the Dead Sea, all of Israel behind him, millions. And all of a sudden, all of a sudden, he comes to the Dead Sea.

I mean the Red Sea, not the Dead Sea. My bad. He comes to the Red Sea, and all of the chariots and the horsemen of Egypt come, and there's nothing. Can you imagine if he had chosen not to take that sea staff, that rod of God, and lift it up and that ocean didn't part? Can you imagine?

I'm sure God would have done something else because he Just loves his people and wanted them to be delivered. But he had to make that choice. The only thing before him was to walk in the authority that God gave him. And that staff represented all of that. He had a real physical barrier, but he took the action and he walked through that open door.

And Tonight, this year, 2026, God is saying, I'm opening up doors for you. I'm going to reveal them to you. You're going to recognize and you are going to respond and walk through doors and apprehend everything he's got for you. A look at the text. I didn't give you notes tonight.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get those done. But you can take good notes. This is good. Some of it's kind of intense, so you might just want to. It's okay if I teach to you?

I like to do that part. I like teaching. Jesus says. It says that Jesus holds the key of David, verse 7. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia, write these things, says, he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens.

And no one shuts and shuts and no one opens. Anybody watch the Lord of the Rings? Okay. I like those movies a lot. And I binge watch them during the winter because it's dark and cold, and I like to watch those.

And they're really cool. I think they have a lot of cool spiritual stuff in them. That sounds to me when I first started reading about the keys of David and the opening and no one can shut. And I was like, it is shut by those that are dead or whatever, that whole thing, you know? You know that.

Anyway, there's a part in there, and it's all this cryptic metaphorical language and all this kind of stuff. No, that's not what this is. This is not cryptic metaphorical language. This is actually legal language. It's legal.

It's not pie in the sky. It's a reference to Isaiah 22:22, where God says, I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. And what he opens, no one can shut. And what he shuts, no one can open. The prophet is telling Shebna, the palace administrator secretary, a corrupt and evil man.

In fact, he rebukes him so strongly he says, you know, I'm going to throw you way into the whirlwind. Basically, you should go read it. It's kind of intense. And he prophesies that he's going to be replaced by Eliakim, for God will place on his Shoulder, the key to the house of David. That was always so mysterious to me.

But what's happening is there's a real political transfer that's taking place. I'm removing your authority and I'm putting it on the shoulders of this other guy, Elia Kim. Eliakim becomes the chief steward and the royal gatekeeper. There in Isaiah 22, the one who holds the keys, the authority. Thus, the key of David implies control over David's domain, the kingdom of David, which is a messianic prophecy right about the Messiah.

And you can read about that in Isaiah 9, verse 7, Luke 1:32. And access to the king was given to the gatekeeper. In fact, Eliakim, the gatekeeper had the ability or the power to allow access to the king and the palace. In the ancient near east, including Israel, Egypt and Assyria, Mesopotamia, back in that day. Keys were large, wooden.

They were large and they were wooden. And they would be carried on the shoulder. They weren't these little keys that we have that open, these little tiny locks, you know, those doors, those giant doors, those door, those keyholes are huge. They would carry the keys on the shoulders because of their size. They were too large to wear on a ring and carry discreetly.

So they were carried on the shoulders. Some were suspended by a cord or a sash. Sometimes they rested across the back like a staff. And so the shoulder represented the seat of authority in the ancient near east. Responsibility, governmental authority, administrative rule.

And the key represent. The key represented delegated authority, stewardship over the house, over the palace, power to admit or to exclude who comes in and out of the the palace and the gates. Keys were worn on the shoulder because authority carries responsibility. And the weight and pressure of that responsibility was carried by that, that gatekeeper, that, that keeper, that chief steward. And Eliakim, he's a type and a shadow.

He's a type and a shadow of Jesus Christ, who carries the weight. He carries the key the the kingdom of God. The government will be on his shoulders talking about Jesus. And so it is that Jesus, he's the one. He has all power, all authority, all the wisdom.

He's the king, he's the gate. He's the authority behind the key. He's the rightful ruler of, of the Kingdom of David. Revelation 1:17 says, When I saw him, John, I fell at his feet as though I was dead. He placed his right hand on me and said, don't be afraid.

I'm the first, the last, I'm the living one. I was dead and now look, I'm alive forever. And ever I hold the keys of death and Hades. Those keys represent total authority. Jesus has total authority.

And he took. He went down to hell, conquered the grave, and he took the last gate. So that symbolizes that Jesus took authority. Jesus has all control.

There's no door that's physical, spiritual, or eternal that's outside of his control. He has it all. He takes authority over all of it. The last gate was death, and he conquered death.

Matthew 16:19 says, I'll give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Jesus holds the keys, but he gives them to us. He gives them to us.

Is this too intense? All right. He says, because you recognize my authority, I will entrust you with kingdom responsibility. He gives us keys. You'll steward access through your proclamation and through your obedience, you'll be able to bind, which means forbidding and restraining.

You'll be able to loose, which is a permitting and a releasing, and you'll be able to enforce heaven's will on earth. He gave us that authority. He gave us that. That. That's incredible.

And here in Revelation 3, it's in this text that he gives this profound word to the church in Philadelphia. They were most likely the church there was excluded from Jewish synagogues. They were rejected by religious leaders and authorities. And they were probably told that they had no access to the things of God and persecuted because of their belief in Jesus Christ. But Jesus responds and he says, I don't care.

They may shut you out, but I'm the one that has the authority. I'm the one that has the keys. And when I open the door, that door is open. And not one devil in hell is going to shut that door. Powerful.

It's not metaphysical. It's legal. Legal language. It's not just some pie in the sky thing. He's given us authority.

So it's a word for the church in Philadelphia, but it's a word for us now, too. What are you saying? Why are you talking about all this weird key stuff? Because God, Jesus said, I've opened doors. I'm opening doors.

And I don't care if the enemy mocks you. I don't care if the enemy is sitting there pointing in your face and saying, you're never gonna do it. You're a loser.

It doesn't matter what he says, because Jesus is the one that opens the door. He's the one that gives authority.

And Jesus has opened the door that no one can shut. These things says he who is holy, he is true, he who has the key of David. He opens no one shuts. And he shuts what no one can open. That's our God.

Well, those doors we're talking about doors. Doors can mean numerous things. And I'm going to just talk about three doors in particular that I feel like the Lord spoke to me about. First of all, it's a door to heaven, a door to the heavens for those who've called on his name, for those who know him, it's an invitation to say, hey, come up here. Just like he did with John in Revelation chapter four.

I love it. After these things, John says, I looked and behold, there was a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking to me, saying, come up here and I will show you things which must take place after this. And immediately I was in the spirit. And behold, a throne set in heaven.

And one sat on the throne.

And he who sat there was like Jasper and Sardius stone in appearance. And there was a rainbow around the throne.

Jesus had the. The rainbow first. Just saying it was in appearance like an emerald. And around the throne there were 24 thrones. And on those thrones I saw 24 elders sitting, clothed in white robes and they had crowns of gold on their head.

And from the throne preceded lightnings and thunderings and voices. And from. And seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. We have access because of the shed blood of Jesus. We have access to go for intimacy.

He's giving us an open door. He invites us to go deeper in the things of God. Oh God, I just feel so convicted. We have this access, we have this invitation, this open door at any time to go deeper.

Will we walk through that door? I'm asking myself, will we make time to go through that door? Oh God, that door is still open today, waiting. He's saying, come up here. Secondly, a second door is a door for witnessing.

God spoke that so strongly to me a couple weeks ago. A door of witnessing. Don't sleep in the harvest. Be awakened, wake and don't. Don't give up those people that you just kind of gave up witnessing to.

Try again. That's what I heard. The Lord said, try again. Just try again. Reach out one more time.

Try again. He's coming soon and he is molding and shaping and working and creating circumstances that are working in the hearts of the most hearted hearted people. Try again. Acts 14:27. Now, when they had come and gathered the church together.

They reported all God had done with them and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. And so they stayed there a long time with the disciples. First Corinthians 16, 8, 9. But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost. This is Paul, because a great door for effective work has opened to me and many, and there are many who oppose me.

Of course there's going to be many people that oppose. I mean, there's always opposition.

It's a door to witness. And you see the same thing in 2nd Corinthians 2:12. Furthermore, when I came to Taro as to preach the Christ Gospel, a door was opened to me by the lord and Colossians 4, 3. Continue, earn, continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving, meanwhile praying also for us that God would open up a word, open up us a door for the word to speak the mystery of Christ for which I'm in chains. And that I make, may make it manifest as I ought to speak.

The word of God is spreading like never before. We have a window of time. I keep saying that because I feel like the Holy Spirit said there's a window of time. We don't know what's going to happen in the next election. Not saying that President Trump is, is like the, you know, I mean, I'm, I'm happy that he got elected.

I am, I'm very happy he is because it has stayed the hand of all that other stuff. It has given us a window of opportunity. And if you'll try, if you'll try one more time, those hard hearted people, God is working on them. Try again. Now is the time of salvation.

I just heard this incredible testimony that I just have to share with you real quick. See do I have time? Okay, good. My friend, Pastor Kelly Reynolds. I don't know if my husband shared this with you.

I don't think so. She shared the other night that she has been praying. She's such a great evangelist. She's always sharing Jesus everywhere she goes. She's incredible.

They pastor the church in Lebanon, Oregon. Anyway, she was praying, lord, I really want you to send me people that are ready to get saved. I'm sick of the hard hearted people out witnessing to people. Send me ripe fruit. People that are ready.

Okay, so she left that with the Lord. And she's in her house, it's like 8 o' clock at night. And she's. And the Lord's like, go to Walmart. And she's like, really go to Walmart right now?

And she's like, do I have to? And she, then she's like, oh yeah, I asked God to send me. Okay, all right, I'm gonna go to Walmart. So she goes to Walmart and she walks in the door and she's just like, here I am, you know, doesn't see anybody around 8 o' clock at night at Walmart. And the Lord says to her, go to the meat section.

He's like, she's like, okay, I guess I'll go get a roast or something. So she's looking at the meat and this other woman appears there at the meat department and they're sitting there commenting about how meat is $22 a pound. And you know, it's just horrible and just terrible and all that in there. And Pastor Kelly suddenly says, she looks at this woman and she's like, the woman seemed fine. And she goes, how are you?

And the woman just burst into tears, just burst into tears. And Pastor Kelly got, Kelly got to pray for her and she led her to Jesus Johnny on the spot in the meat department. Okay, but it doesn't stop there. That's amazing. It is so amazing.

But it doesn't stop there. The woman tells her, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot. My kids have been just taken away from me by OCS or CPS or whatever those that place is called. They've been taken away from me and I want my kids back. And I'm just so broken.

I have nothing. I have nothing. And all of a sudden somebody knocks on my car window and she goes, enormous. Normally I would never in my life in Lebanon, Oregon, you guys know how that place is. Open my window and talk to some dude at 8 o' clock night in Walmart.

Hello. That knocks on my window. But she did. And she rolls down her window and the guy said, here, this is $20, go to the meat department.

And then he was gone. It was like an angel. She goes to church a week later she goes to her life group because she leads lots of life groups and she's telling the testimony about that. And, and this, all of a sudden this woman goes, oh, does she look like this? Does she look.

And then she's like, yeah, yeah. She goes, do you know that woman that we were praying for? My sister in law who's super broken. And I've been believing that God going to get a hold of her heart. That was her.

So that was a woman that they had prayed for in their life group. Pastor Kelly obeyed, prayed the Prayer, give me. Right. Isn't that awesome? There's a window of opportunity.

Window of opportunity. That's a great story. That's a powerful story. Well, thirdly, the third door, the third thing is that. That, that not only is it the door, a door of invitation and a door for witnessing and for the word to go forth, but it's doors of opportunity.

Doors of opportunity. New businesses, new strategy for your family, New just fresh wisdom coming from the throne room. New opportunities expand for expanding the kingdom.

Opportunities to see his will done. Tammy, the Lord spoke to me this morning about you. You have been faithful. I don't know if you know this about Tammy, but she's. She evangelizes like crazy everywhere she goes.

All the years I've known you, she's telling people about Jesus, bringing him to church, all kinds of people. And the Lord spoke to me about you this morning, and he said that you have been faithful. You have been faithful to build my house. You've been faithful to share the gospel and to watch and see. See, watch and see what God's going to do in your house.

You have taken care of his house for years, long before you even got to King's Wasilla. You have taken care of his house. You've cared. You've. You've been so faithful in the house of the Lord.

And the Lord says, watch and see what I do for your house, declares the Lord. Amen.

Matthew 7:7 says, Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you'll find. Knock and it will be open. Go after those things. Go after your dream.

Go after those things that God has put upon your heart that you might have held back. And he's opening up new windows of opportunity. In fact, I believe that people are gonna start even just getting creative ideas like writing books or. Or starting something new or, I don't know, maybe inventing something like the paperclip or the stoplight. Hello.

God's gonna. He's giving new opportunities, doors of opportunity, new friendships, new relationships, all. All. Whatever it is for you. It's doors of opportunity that God's going to open.

He's going to open them this year. It's a year of the open door. Many people have felt hemmed in, hemmed in by all those things that we've talked about. Try again, go again. Step out again.

Step out in faith again. And God is speaking to us. He's saying, walk through the door, recognize the door, respond, make a decision, and walk through that door. Walk through it. He's going to help us overcome obstacles.

If you look there in the text, that church of Philadelphia, they didn't have strength. He said to them, you don't. You have little strength. He's going to help us overcome a lack of strength. Anybody ever feel like you don't have strength?

I do. I feel like that. And I'm so grateful for the power of the Holy Spirit that He sustains us and he carries us and he keeps us and gives us strength to do that which we think we cannot do. You can do more than you think. I love that statement by.

I forget who said that. Dr. Morocco or Pastor Ann. One of those people. You can do more than you think you can do. He said in verse eight, I know your works.

He's encouraging the people of Philadelphia. I see I've set before you an open door and no one can shut it. For you have a little strength. You've kept my word. You've not denied my name.

That term, little strength, is not saying that you're weak. It's not implying weakness, but it's implying real strength. Do you know what real strength is? It's acknowledging that you're not in control. You're not the one.

The end all be all. It's not walking in a lack of. It's not walking in a lack of confidence. It's knowing fully that who you are in Christ and knowing him being strong in the power of his might. That is true Strength being the power.

Walking in, walking in his strength, real strength. They were weak enough to be strong in the Lord.

We can be too strong or too big or too sure of ourselves for God to really use us. Some of us have incredible gifts. And you can. It's easy to rely on those gifts, to think that those gifts are going to get you somewhere. But we've got to rely on the Holy Spirit.

Spirit. We got to rely on God. The church in Philadelphia had the poverty of spirit to know that they really needed the strength of God. When we're weak, his strength is made perfect in us. Amen.

Jesus is saying, even if you don't have much strength, you don't feel like you have much strength because you've not denied me. Because you've lived in a way that's pleased me. You will have what you need to walk through the door. You've kept my word. You've not denied by name.

The church in Philadelphia was faithful to Jesus and his word. He. They were obedient. And so because of that, God opened a door. He opened a door of authority.

And the idea behind that not denying my Name is not only they express their allegiance to Jesus, but they lived in a way that was faithful. And he honored that.

Not only is he going to help us overcome the obstacle of lacking strength, but persecution. Now, we're not burning at the stake for a while in the. I don't mean to get political, but in the last administration, I was wondering if we were going to start getting. Having those kind of crazy things, you know, I was wondering what was going to be taking place. I was praying all the time.

God's setting up the earth for the, you know, the coming of the Lord. The Antichrist will come and there will be a one world. Everything. You can see all those things taking place, starting to take place. That's why I said we have a window of time.

We've got a window. We got a door. We've got a door of time. But persecution comes in whatever means that it comes here in America. I mean, pastors get arrested, people.

Charlie Kirk. Hello. Right. Different things. And maybe you are persecuted.

Maybe you just get rejected all the time because you love Jesus. You love him, and your family just thinks you're a total moron because of it. That's persecution. Right. Well, the Lord's going to help us overcome that.

And he says that in the midst of persecution, I will put my favor on you. And he said that those people there would come and bow down to them. He'll put his favor on you in the midst of your persecution. Well, thirdly, God's going to help us overcome difficult circumstances. There's some stuff that's just very difficult.

He says in verse 10, because you've kept my command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have so no one will take your crown. To him who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. He shall go out no more.

I'll write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and you get a new name. That's a lot of things for overcoming. You get sealed, you get marked. There's times of difficulty and tribulation. I've been through plenty of those.

But he helps us to overcome. And in the midst of circumstances, at times when things seem absolutely impossible, he said, I'm opening a door for you. Your favor is upon me. Don't look at all that stuff. Your My favor is upon you, even in the midst of your circumstances.

Believe that he can do it. Believe that he's opening the door, declare it, decree it, and walk through the door. He's given us his promises. His promises are the means, the, the very foundation of the things that we pray. Right?

What we should pray. It's a basis by which we pray. He gives us opportunities, he's gonna show us favor, he's gonna keep us. He's gonna honor us by making us a pillar in his house. And I wanna just tell you that something interesting.

Pastor Tim talked about the tree and the pillar. The pillars are very interesting. So Philadelphia was plagued by earthquakes. It was a city that was plagued by lots of earthquakes. And all that would be left among the.

The rubble was these pillars and they would go out. So he said in that text there, you're not going to go out anymore because they would have to run out of the city until everything start. Stopped quaking and then come back in and see what was left. Right? And what was interesting is that they would.

Those, those pillars were the things that would remain. They were the strength and they would. Those were the things that helped think everything up. Right? Just like the church.

God's making us pillars in the house of God. And they would label those pillars. They would put names of like heroes and names of famous people on pillars. Isn't that interesting?

The pillar holds up the building. It's the only thing that supports. It's the only thing supporting the pillar is the foundation. The foundation is Jesus Christ. True pillars in the church support the church.

They look to Jesus as their supporting foundation. And in the middle of all this, as we believe, as we contend, as we overcome, as we stand strong like pillars in the house of God, we walk through the door, we take those opportunities presented before, before us. He's going to transform us in the process. He transforms us in the middle of all. Everything that we did with this building.

Those of you know, I know we keep talking about it because it's still so new and fresh. It was so intense. And in the middle of contending and taking steps of faith and walking through doors that didn't exist that we could see and doing all of that, God has changed us. We are a tough, gritty church. Can I get an amen around here?

You guys are tough. We are gritty. And I loved it. We're changed by him. He says, I'll write on him the name of my God.

The overcomer receives so many names. The name of God, the name of the new Jerusalem. And the new name that Jesus gives them, these names mark. They are marks of identification that separate. They show that who we belong to.

Those are the names. Those are why we're getting those names. They're marks of intimacy. And they. And because they show that we're privileged to know him in ways that other people are not.

That's why those names are put upon his people. Pretty amazing. Worship team. Would you come on up? As I conclude, here's the thing about doors.

A door being open does not force you to walk through it. Revelation 3 does not say, I'm going to push you through the door, right? It says, behold, I've set one before you.

That phrase assumes that we have a responsibility. Like I said before, it's the responsibility of God's people to make the choice. A door is useless if you admire it, but you never cross the threshold. Hello.

Doors demand decisions and choices. When Jesus says he opens a door, he's offering kingdom participation. He's offering authority, revelation, intimacy. Like I said, the doors of witnessing and the Philip the church in Philadelphia endured little strength. They endured hostility from the religious leaders and the culture of the day.

And they had pressure all around them. They had pressure, but they were given an open door because they were obedient, because they were faithful. They were willing, and he gave them responsibility. He opens the door by his authority. He gives us responsibility.

The kingdom of God advances through willing obedience. He honors action, not intention. I want to be a people of action. I want to be a person of action. I don't want to miss those doors.

I don't want to miss seeing them. I don't want to miss responding to them. And so what is our response? What will our response be? We're not supposed to just continually pray for open doors.

God has opened doors and he's opening them, and he will continue to open them. We're not supposed to wait for how we feel.

We're not just supposed to watch other people walk through doors. We're supposed to walk through the open door. We're. We are. Our response is to step forward in faith and trust that the one who holds the keys is faithful.

And he extends those keys to you. Let's just stand to our feet tonight.

I hope you got something from the Lord from this message. And before we go any further, I just want to give an opportunity for anybody who might not know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior. Maybe, maybe you are just not feeling as on fire for him as you once were.

Maybe you just want to make sure that one day when you die, that you go to heaven and you don't go to hell, that's a good. That's a good reason to pray. And so all over this place, as people pray, as people are praying, and you would say, yes, I fall into one of those categories. I'm going to have you raise your hand if you want to receive Jesus for the very first time as your Lord and your Savior. You want to be forgiven of all your sins.

You want to make him your Lord, your savior. If you want to recommit and you want to, just say, I'm gonna serve you with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. And if you want to, just make sure that one day, make sure your name is written in the Lamb's book of life as it says. At the count of three, I want you to just lift your hand up all over this place. 1, 2, 3.

If that's you anywhere in this building, just raise your hand up. I see that hand back there. I see those hands. I see those hands. Awesome.

Nice and high so I can see him over there. Awesome. I see your hands over there. Over there. I see your hands over there.

Awesome. Let's just repeat this prayer after me. Say, dear Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your son Jesus to die on a cross in my place. I ask you to forgive me of all my sin. Come and wash me, Come and cleanse me and make me new.

Thank you, Jesus, that on the third day you rose again so I can have eternal life come into my heart. Come into my life and help me to live for you. In Jesus name, Amen. And amen. Give the Lord a big clap tonight.
