morning we ought to be the most joyous people on the planet let this whole community know we love jesus up in this house yes hallelujah hallelujah god is good give me a good hallelujah shout amen yes indeed you may be seated or you can run all over the place i don't even care ((music playing)) we did all of our normal worship songs up front today because uh we have some special music here a little bit that you're gonna enjoy and we're gonna go old school gospel tear the whole tent down it's gonna be beautiful here in just a little bit for mother's day happy mama's day all of you mothers in the house where would we be without mamas absolutely nowhere that's where so thank you so much for your love your commitment your dedication we're still getting some people some seats and so be patient with us and our guys can stand if they need to but we're going to transition into in a few moments are our normal offering time but obviously we like to do things different around here and sometimes we do things out of order but we do a lot of things that just look like it popped right out of the new testament amen we're a church that has become known for not just tipping god and barely sowing into the kingdom just enough to get by but we've become a church known for extravagant generosity deep levels of benevolence and sacrifice for our missionaries and for people all over this community and for people around the world and i'm humbled by that i always wanted the privilege to pastor church that understood that stewardship is the way to go and we don't have to go around asking god to bless us we need to be a church in which god can trust us and when god can trust you he will bless you there is no doubt about it and so we do something we've done this for the last few years even in the midst of the scrutiny and the criticism from pharisees and religious people we like to bless everybody as often and as much as we can but on mother's day we always try to do something a little bit different we're trying to do something a little bit special we would love to have gifts and gift cards and roses and everything you can imagine for every mom young and old alike in attendance but that would obviously be impossible and then with just the absolute daunting amount of tens of thousands of people following us online that consider us their church we obviously just can't do something for everybody and so every year we try to set aside something that we call single mom sunday single mom sunday i'm gonna be honest with you one of the forgotten mission fields of the world by the church is single parenthood everybody's like well what about single dads okay it's not father's day so track with me here it's mother's day i get it now look here's what people say well why are they single moms i don't give two flips of a wooden nickel while they're single moms they're just single moms and they're heroes as far as i'm concerned because they're doing a lot just to manage and scrimp and scrape by and so we want to honor them today we want to pray over them but we want to try to bless them the best that we can now obviously there has to be a few ground rules to this there's a lot of you that came up as a single mother but you're not necessarily a single mom anymore because there's no kids in the house so i love you but if you're 75 years old and you were a single mom for a long time and your kids are like my age okay then uh then help us out and and maybe not come forward we'll we'll deal with that at another service right and we take care by the way a lot of people don't recognize this fact but for people that are in house you know because we we do more than just things for for single parents and single moms this is just the day that we've set aside but a lot of people don't recognize that you know the bible says that pure religion and undefiled is this that you take care of the widows and you take care of the orphans and so we do a lot of that so you have to understand that over and above what we do for all of our preachers and our missionaries and just the kingdom ministries that we support every single month and it's a daunting amount of money over and above that we do not have one widow in our congregation now we have several widows but listen to me we don't have one widow in our congregation that pays a mortgage we pay every mortgage for every widow in our church every month without question without fail and if you're a widow and you regularly come to our church and we don't know about you then you come up and you get on the list and we'll we do not allow widows to pay for their house and pay for their rent and pay for their mortgage and you know what we can't out give god he just keeps giving it back it's unbelievable how that works i wish some people would figure that out i wish some stingy preachers would figure that out they wonder why their church has financial troubles it's because they're worried about the building not about the kingdom i'm not worried about the campus i'm worried about the kingdom we take care of the kingdom god takes care of the campus amen so here's what i need you to do all right and i'm going to have some help from uh from from a number of our ladies if i could that'd be great so my wife and kiki and jordan and and lisa and uh miss monica you got a baby in your hands unless your husband can take that baby all right there you go pass that baby off we'll get brittany up here maria come on up here that would be wonderful now if you are a current single mom right in the house whether you go to this church on a regular basis or not this is not to ever get you to come back right it doesn't make any difference that this is just to honor you this is just to bless you if you're a single mom in this building and i'm talking about even the ones that go to our church consistently whatever or the ones that have just be bopped in the front door for the very first time because you heard that we were going to bless you well we're going to bless you whether you ever come back or not because here's what we know about generosity if you ever want to go back to a church i know which one you're going to go to the one that blessed you and took care of you and was kind to you when you were struggling that's the one you're going to come back to ((music playing)) so we ain't got to do nothing gimmicky we just like to do things by way of generosity so if you're a single mom in the house in this building right now i want you to not just stand and don't be embarrassed all right i want you to stand and i want you to come to the front of this auditorium right now so we can get a count on him if you're a single mom right now come on every single mom in this house i want you to come up all the single moms in the house i want you to come up ((music playing)) every single mom in the house want you to come up you're gonna have to come up a little bit closer you gotta pretend like this is a concert or something get on up in here real good it's all right we won't bite you all the single moms in the house need you to come up now i'm gonna have to get a couple of our guys to uh to figure out a count because what we're gonna do is we'll have to kind of split this up a little bit all right because what we'll do is we we have a certain amount already allotted in envelopes and then we're going to have to have those that don't grab an envelope just stick around a little bit after the baptismal celebrations so we can make sure that we get you an envelope that makes sense and uh so you you won't go without today i promise but we only have so many envelopes that we're going to be giving out but we'll make sure we have some stuff on hand that we can get they don't even have to be enveloped up but just make sure for those that do not get an envelope uh that that we'll make sure that you do and then especially like if you come here on a regular basis you can stick around for you know 20 or 30 minutes after the service and we'll make sure our staff and our team gets to where you need to be and we'll make sure that you get an envelope all right we'll make sure that you get some money and so we're not going to let you get out of here don't don't try to get one for for your cousin or your sister or your friend okay this is this is for those that are in attendance today because we just want to honor you we just want to bless you and so if you don't get an envelope don't worry you will get something all right i promise you you'll make sure that you get something and what we'll do is we still have some cash on hand and then uh and don't worry because we're one of the most secure churches on the planet just on a regular service and so with all this cash floating around trust me we got we got plenty of guys it's all good this be the wrong place to stand up act stupid and jump into your coat real quick it'd be the wrong house to do that in i can promise you that and so you're gonna be all right and so do not worry if you don't get something now we will make sure that you get something we got somebody in a moment that can give me account at least kind of a a random idea chris if you can kind of get on that just kind of give me an idea of what we're looking at we're going to have a time of prayer over all of these single mamas amen don't you think that'd be good pray god's blessing upon them pray god's provision and protection upon them ((applause)) there's a lot of single mamas right here i like it amen i said my goodness what you gonna do gonna bless every last one of them that's exactly what we're gonna do every last one that's exactly what we're gonna do so we'll have some people that help us and so again if you are one of our regulars or our staff or volunteers just kind of let us get to you at the end because i know some ladies maybe not we'll be able to stay as long and so we want to make sure that everybody gets a gets an opportunity to okay is it okay we'll get we'll make sure we got it we got this all covered it's all good all right let's figure out how in the world we want to do this this is going to be interesting amen we don't want a mad rush to the platform hallelujah and so we're going to pray and while i am praying i just want these these ladies and gentlemen whoever to just kind of go through the crowd and and look if you if you go here on a regular basis or if you're on staff volunteer like i said then then kind of kind of wait your turn so we can get to you at the end because not all of these people obviously are going to be able to stay and so i want to make sure that we get enough cash and and the bank by the way some of us obviously are going to have to do it in a check form because it's crazy that the bank doesn't have any money it's weird so you can only get so much money out of the banks that make sense and so we could only get a certain amount we knew that we would end up going above and beyond the amount uh with ladies that are here with single moms that are here and so i can promise you before you get out here uh you will be blessed okay you will be blessed we don't believe in tipping people in the kingdom i mean we literally give it all away around here at this church we really really do and god just keeps giving it back he keeps honoring us for it so you can do the math okay we've saved for this and we've we've planned ahead for this and uh this is this is a this is a big deal this is no small uh amount of money that we're about to be giving away under this tent over and above the offering that we're about to take that's not even gonna be for us today okay does that make sense clap on that one praise god and then a blessing so every single mom in attendance single mom it's funny how you have to say every single mom because i don't mean every single mom that's in the building it's interesting how you say that we'll be uh blessed today in an extravagant way okay a very extravagant way so you can figure it out you can do the math folks online have been given to try to help us to do this and so again our ladies that are normally here just kind of subside for a moment so we can make sure that we get to you and you'll be the ones that we give give checks to and we'll go through the rest of our cash that we have but uh yeah it's about to get real every single mom in attendance today every one of you that are staring at me right now he's either gonna get an envelope with cash in it or an envelope with a check in it but every single mom under this tent right now is getting a thousand dollars right now under this tent every last one of you you can do the math on that we got a hundred thousand dollars in cash right here hundred thousand in cats all the bank would give us and we'll write a hundred thousand dollars in more checks if we got to you hear me that's what we'll do we don't mess around with god's money up in this house we make sure people are blessed we make sure people can pay their bills around here the bible said they sold their possessions and goods we'll drain the whole savings account to make sure people are taken care of in this house absolutely we will so you do the math when you find out the number but yeah it's about to be a lot of money hallelujah but it's going to be good so all right just start going through i'm going to pray and uh just just start giving these ladies these envelopes you start getting to the front start passing these envelopes around and then those that don't get one immediately after service when we go to the baptismal time we'll have so many people over there converts that are being baptized i want you on this side and uh so we can make sure we get your name and we make sure that we get you in the queue and we'll get you out of here amen and they're gonna be a blessing hallelujah and so obviously we're not gonna have enough envelopes for everybody but we're gonna make sure that every single one of you single mamas get a thousand dollars today no matter what that looks like we'll drain the whole thing but it's gonna be beautiful amen hallelujah hallelujah ((music playing)) so i'm gonna pray and we're just gonna start giving out this money so just go start with them and as soon as you get it you can start trying to mosey your way back that would be kind of helpful to kind of mows your way back to your seat because i'll need you back in your seat here in a moment so go ahead ladies just start hitting them right now just start getting everybody and then just start giving them envelopes our ladies that go here on a regular basis just wait if you do just go ahead and go back to your seat if you're one of our ladies because we'll get you immediately after service you will not go without i promise you i don't care if we give away 300 000 you will not go without today i can promise you we're not a rich church but we're a giving church and god keeps bringing it in so we're about to give a whole rump load of money away and god's going to be faithful god bless you thank you i love to see them tears amen i like that that's why we give we like to change lives around here we like to change lives around here hallelujah to the lamb of god we'll get you i promise we will get you ((music playing)) pastor danny can you come up here for me i'm gonna have you actually pray this this prayer for our uh mama's in the house and for our single mamas and you just keep on you we can work while he prays it's all good god can hear us he don't get confused by it one bit amen ((music playing)) you say my goodness i never seen a church do this well this ain't the church you grew up in i can promise you that this is not your granny's church this is a this is a wild and crazy given congregation right here so pastor danny our family pastor i just want him to pray a blessing over all these mamas in the house especially these single mamas and we don't we don't want to forget them because they are our mission field and we want to be a blessing to them lord father god we thankful for all these mamas here today what a blessing what a ministry they have these moms wear many hats in life their moms their teachers their nurses they do everything for us for the kids without moms we'd be in a bad place for sure so lord there's a purpose for moms and i know there's a special place in your heart lord for moms so bless every single one of them here today and watch it online father god i pray for favor over each one may your love just shower them father god may them feel your presence on this special day lord and truth be told every day is mother's day but we just choose this day to honor them so lord bless them love them protect them guide them and just reveal yourself to them more and more in each day may they lean on your power and understanding and not their own lord at the end of the day you you're the one we have to keep our eyes on we love you father we love what you do through this church through this ministry father god we do not take it for granted and it's all for your glory in jesus name amen amen hallelujah give the lord some praise all right everybody that's still here and still standing as soon as we get done today i want you on this side of the auditorium and we'll make sure that we get to you promptly we have enough staff we can handle that all right and we'll make sure we get you we still have some cash on hand and we'll start getting checks we'll get everything that we need and so as soon as service is over you make sure you come right here to this side we'll get you all lined up now if you're gonna if you're here today because you've been saved and you're gonna be baptized and you drove here or flew here or whatever then certainly get baptized and then go over and get in line because people will be here for a little bit but we got enough staff and volunteers that we'll make sure that we move along that process amen hallelujah hallelujah all right i need my ushers up here with their buckets if they would we're going to do something a little bit different today our crew is going to come and the riders are going to be singing for us in here just a little bit but i want to talk to you before we uh before we get started we knew that that would take a few extra minutes and and we're not apologizing i'm just explaining and so let me let you get settled for just a minute now during the first song i'm going to sing some songs for us today before i get up and i teach out of the word of the lord and uh i'm super excited about the text and the direction that the lord's going to have us it fits so beautiful with the the series the passionate series that that we are in currently and i'm gonna have you guys spread all the way down to the end of these greens so people don't have to walk too far all right all the way down our giving today is is gonna be bringing our tithes and offerings to the lord we do that about every other month or so we don't always pass the plate our folks online always love to dig deep and give and sacrifice globalvisionbc.com g-i-v-e-give and also you see the qr codes on the back of their seat if you want to be a high-tech redneck and take a picture of that it'll take you right to the website and you can give there so we have them spread out across the room because obviously we have a good crowd and a vast sized tent and so it's going to be difficult to get everybody up and down at one time and so this will facilitate that process and make things smoother so in a moment i'm going to offer a simple prayer for our offering we take an offering every week there's nothing different about that we were in this tent for i think this is our 13th sunday back under the big tent since the tornado tore it down and we had it all sewed back together and concreted to the ground super glued and everything else and out of those 13 weeks we've had two what we call just general offerings just two and we pretty much ended up giving most of those away to our missionaries where we just said hey let's get to the house we're not given to a need only two of those all the other 11 or so weeks 10 or 11 weeks were for specific ministries people we've even done it on wednesday we've taken two wednesday night offerings this entire year we didn't even take wednesday night offerings right here we've taken two of them and both of them went to a missionary one to africa one to india just last week we did that once but today's offering i want to be brought to the lord even our folks online again globalvisionbc.comgive be generous today of course if you're making out a check just like you do every week just like when an usher would come your way just make it out to global vision gvbc whatever and it'll all go to the same area okay but today again even after giving away what we just gave away and what we're still gonna have to give away because obviously there's a lot of people a lot of single moms are here and we're going to keep our word i don't care how much it costs we'll drain it all but god will give it all back he always does right so logistically right the logical safe churchy thing to do would be hey let's recoup the expenses and have a real good offering today so that we can basically have money in the bank but we're not doing that because we don't operate that way there's no need to operate that i don't operate out of fear operate out of faith because god's not giving us the spirit of fear ((applause)) so here's what we're going to do today the browders dear dear good friends of mine they're going to sing some songs for us this morning you're going to enjoy every one of them while they're singing the first song now while they're singing you know if you want to stand your feet run around whatever you want to worship then that's great but while they're singing the first song is going to be our jubilee offering song right and if you were going to be giving already today in-house under this tent this canvas cathedral we call it then rather than have somebody pass something to you then in a moment when they begin to sing that first song after prayer i want you to stand and i want you to begin to come and i want you to put your tiles your offerings your gifts in the buckets and these baskets up here and i'll tell you what we're going to do with all this money that comes in not only are we going to give away everything that we just gave away this money that we're taking up right now is not going to even touch that it's not going to even go towards that we'll just drain the savings account and take care of that okay we're not even worried about that this money is going to a dear friend of mine in a dear ministry that let me be honest we wouldn't even have a tent at all if it wasn't for his vision for his tent ministry bleeding over into my heart when we were growing and i didn't know what to do and he said put up a tent i didn't know where to get a 10. they told me where to get a tent we got the first tent then the grow tent then the bigger tent and grew into another one and 7 42 tenths later here we are praise god i'll never forget december the 10th and 11th i was preaching in texas at the reawaken america conference i got done i hopped on the bus and i was heading to john schneider's to preach for his celebration for christmas i'll never forget when they called me and they said the tent's down tents destroyed we had service the next day i thought what are we gonna do the whole thing just tore up and god rebuilt it god got it back in the air and filled it up every sunday since to overflow it ((applause)) but i may be the only preacher in the world maybe i don't know i may be the only preacher in the world that understood what that felt like when dr harrison dr stand up for a minute where yet where are you stand up right here give the man a god of hand right here have his whole family i want his team to stand up brian your wife want his wife senator all of erin stand up whole team right there he's some real christians right here he's old-timey wide open gospel preacher right there man thousands tens of thousands people get saved in this man's ministry every year tent ministry puts it up all over america i just preached for him in murphy north carolina every time he puts it up i get to come in for a night and we were just texting the other day about some ministry stuff and then all of a sudden about 10 minutes later he called me and i thought man something wrong we were just texting and a tornado came through murphy north carolina tore the whole thing up just ripped his tent to shreds beautiful temp beautiful tent ripped the whole thing in the ground hundreds of people from the community came out man they were having people get saved that worked at the casino up there in murph it was unbelievable the meeting they were having they were struggling if god's spirit wanted to keep going well god answered it and the whole thing came down just ripped its shreds tore their stuff up he called me just just crying and i'm thinking man i told my wife i said i'm the only preacher in america that understands what he's going through right now because man i could feel it brian called me said where's the first church to call first first people to call them and check on them and then i saw them pictures and man it just made me sick salvage the chairs but sound system fall over tore up tent poles broke took an entire tent seat as many people as we got right now put the whole thing in a dumpster just tore it to shreds but he ain't gonna quit doing tent ministry because god's called him to do tent ministry all over america and i ain't gonna let him quit even if he wants to after that and so i told him i said i want you to be in service they were coming to mother's day anyhow they're friends with the browders as well and i told them i said i want you to come on sunday you ain't gotta do a thing you ain't gotta say a thing except take a check from our church they called a company in florida they were the ones that told us about a company to get our tent originally but they called a company in florida they're gonna start building them a brand new tent start building ground up brand new tent it's gonna take them a couple months get it done but they're reaching people all over america in these protracted revival meetings and it's beautiful to behold i've preached in just about all of them since the back in the washington dc days it's been beautiful to watch and even when i'm not preaching we support them we love them we thank god for them and i'm going to tell you something we're not going to help them just build a tent we're going to buy the whole thing today in this offering right we're going to buy entire i don't care how much it cost we're going to buy the whole thing we're going to rebuild the sound system we're going to buy

greedy ((music playing)) so god i pray you'd bless this tent full of eager givers right now release this in a spirit of generosity this is worship you love a cheerful giver now you'll take it from a

restaurants will be open we letting the baptists clear out of them okay before we before we get there so they all getting out of church about right now and uh so they'll they'll be there so they'll be cleared out time we get finished with the baptismal celebrations and uh we are we're signing checks as quick as we can they've been getting it all done that way we can streamline things afterwards but this has been a beautiful service already so thank you for participating thank you to our folks for giving in in both opportunities in-house and online thank you for your sacrifice and your diligence in being released so often in a spirit of generosity i want to remind you i didn't do this during the announcement time but it uh it fits where we're going in the text today i'll remind you that tonight we start at six o'clock all right for our mass deliverance service this is week number 11 to god be the glory people from all over the nation and let me remind people here but especially the people that are watching that will be coming here because we have some people that go to other churches and rightly so and then they travel to get here please do not be late tent doors open at five o'clock our team and our servants get in here at 5 30 after our deliverance team meeting and we'll start passing out waters we'll make sure that we have everything that we need we'll situate everybody in the chairs but listen i implore you if you have not heard me make this for the last 11 or 12 weeks then hear me when i say this now we give you till about 605. if you get here at 6 15 no matter how far you drove you will not get in the building until next week because you will begin to miss some of the very important aspects of why we are in deliverance ministry to begin with and we do not want you missing the renunciations the time of repentance and the time of forgiveness because deliverance frankly is just not going to help you if you don't put in the work we we call it clearing the underbrush before my wife and i get up here and we start dealing with the spirits that people are dominated and dictated and overrun by you've got to help us stand and clear the underbrush and so there's some things you're going to have to repent of and ain't nothing going to hurt you tonight you'll be in the safest place in all of tennessee all of the world i promise you it's going to be a beautiful thing i tell people every week the only thing you have to lose tonight is demons praise god it's going to be good so do not miss out now let me tell you how consistent we are i don't know when i'm up here when i get started what's going on in the back with our ushers and our safety team but they are so diligent to cut things off at 6 15 that we had a lady two sundays ago i had no idea she flew here from hong kong that's long ways well she was going to be visiting some family she got here at like 6 25 we were already standing in the midst of the renunciation she changed her flight and came back this last sunday night so when i say to you that if you come from hong kong that you will not get in after 6 15 i promise you security will not let you in after 6 15. all right make sure you that's that's your warning shot right there okay how many of you were already planning you're already here this weekend because you're going to be coming back tonight for the mass deliverance service would you put your hand in the air just so i kind of okay okay it's going to be a good crowd it's going to be a good opportunity if you weren't planning on it you've not been to one yet i would highly suggest that you get here again doors open at five and things will start promptly about 605 and no cameras no phones no cell phones no videos no pictures none of that we want this to be not just a safe place but we wanted to be a place where people can express their freedom in christ without a camera in their mouth okay and so we want people to know we don't do this for clicks and likes we don't need a bigger platform and so tonight make sure you're here six o'clock promptly for our mass deliverance service amen mark chapter seven stand with me please out of reverence for the reading of god's word we'll begin reading in verse number 24 and following and from thence he arose and went into the borders of tyre and sidon and he entered into a house and would have no man know it but he i love this could not be hid for a certain woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet the woman was a greek a seraphinisian by nation and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter but jesus said unto her let the children first be filled for it is not meat to take the children's bread and to cast it under the dogs ((music playing)) and she answered and said unto him yes lord yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs and he said unto her for this saying go thy way the devil has gone out of thy daughter and when she was come to her house she found the devil gone out and her daughter laid upon the bed so for mother's day today in the midst of our series it fell in the context and narrative so beautifully well i want to take a few moments and preach on this subject when mamas fight devils you may be seated father i pray you'd bless the word of god to our hearts for these coming moments i pray you'd open the reality and the authority of your name and your word to us right now i thank you that we've been able to dig deep and give but now father we pray you would give to us what we need to be fed from the father's table today remove distractions have your will and way and i pray that your glory would radiate in this house and we'll thank you for it in jesus name and all of god's people said for the last many many weeks we've talked about the subject of deliverance and i kindly tell people all over the nation that deliverance is far more than just a bert reynolds movies from the 1970s deliverance is something that jesus came to preach and to produce in the lives of people he said i came to preach deliverance to the captives now how many of you know that america is held captive by sin captive by the flesh captive by the culture captive by spiritual warfare and demonic activity so when jesus gets to this context he's going to deal with something that is very very if you will uncomfortable for a lot of church people now if you've been coming here for a long time you know that we've been mashing the gas we're about 28 messages in and we've talked a lot about what it looks like to have demonic activity in your life but we know that there is power power wonder working power in the name and in the blood of jesus christ and we have seen hundreds of people radically dramatically transformed and set free we are getting letters every day of people that are getting freedom in christ that they thought they would never attain to you know i've heard for so many years pastors including myself i've been guilty stand up grab a microphone crank up the speakers and the atmosphere and say well you know the bible says that jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly you can have peace you can have joy you can have abundance you can have rivers of living water flowing far from your belly everything is all wonderful and good and gravy and god's gonna bless your life and then we send people home addicted to peels drinking their guts out smoke as much weed to sleep at night as the world does nightmares insomnia addicted to pornography marriage is a full-blown crap fast falling apart and we say you can have victory in jesus and we don't mean any of it but i'm here to tell you when we found the key to victory in jesus people started getting nervous on us people started getting squeamish and squirmish and saying wait just a minute you can't talk about that i say wait just a minute it's just about the biggest thing jesus ever talked about in his whole ministry so watch what begins to unfold with this mama in the context verse 24 says and from thence he arose you see jesus was an itinerant he went from place to place house to house temple to temple synagogue the synagogue city of the city he rose and he went into the borders of tower inside and he entered into a house there's nothing unusual about that there are sometimes jesus mark chapter 2 says would go into a house and it was like a stomped ant bed so many people showed up to hear the man of god preach that they literally had to open up the ceiling to let down a quadriplegic man whom jesus said your sins are forgiven get up and get out of here and guess who got mad the pharisees it's always that religious church-going denominational hierarchy crowd that gets mad when miracles start happening and so everywhere he went he was visiting people they were there there was never a lack for a crowd he was the magnetic messiah people were drawn to jesus because of what he said and because of what he did never a man spake like this man spake and so he goes into this home and notice he would have no man to know it you see jesus was tired he'd been preaching he'd been casting out devils raising the dead doing all manner of new testament miraculous things in their midst and people will drain you eventually and jesus was going to get some rest and he would have no man know where he was but i love the next phrase but he could not be hid he could not be hid now it's not what i'm preaching on we got to get to the text into the narrative but i do want to stop and just peruse for a moment by way of introduction and say to this day he can still not be heared you know when you walk into a church that's dry as cracker juice and when you know you walk into a church when the power of god is radiating in the house you start lifting up jesus and marriages get put back together you start lifting up jesus and crack pipes start getting laid down at the altar you start lifting up jesus and healing start breaking out all over the room devils start trembling people start getting nervous and the devil is defeated you can't hide the glory of jesus you can tell when it's a preacheristic sideshow or when the glory of god's actually being lifted up and manifested in the house and around here if you showed up to hear a facebook preacher you're going to be disappointed but if you showed up to hear jesus exalted and the holy ghost change your life you'd be bopped into the right place today he cannot be hid and we will not hide him this church is about jesus the gospel is about jesus the bible is about jesus psalm 143 lo in the volume of the book it is written of me i come to do thy will oh god this book is not about people places and things this book is about a person and that person is jesus and they overcame the enemy by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony and they love not their lives unto the death every knee shall bow and every shall confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father every principality in heaven and earth and beneath the earth shall fall and proclaim that jesus is lord and so here he could not be hid from the multitudes they were eager they were desperate they were starving they were hungry they had been sowed a lie in a bill of goods by the religious establishment and jesus came and upset the religious establishment and so here he is and now the people are clamoring outside the door people are ringing the doorbell beating on the windows standing on the porch if you will help us lord feed us lord save us lord cast out demons jesus do something show us a trick preach a sermon and here's jesus just trying to rest for a moment but notice when the ruckus began in verse 25 for a certain woman and she was not just any woman she was a mama she was a mama and i'm gonna tell the left something right now because they watching you've run over churches all you want to skippy huh you can steal an election because you know you stole it you bunch of devils it's mother's day we just gonna go for broke praise god ((music playing)) there's a lot of people you can give a black eye to and push around you start messing with mama bears and you gonna get your head ripped off you hear me the bible says in proverbs that a bear robbed of her whelps will not spare she'll chew you up and spit you out so it's all good when you meet a bold woman but when you meet a desperate crazy mama you've gone new levels so this woman watch this whose young daughter had an unclean spirit how young was she we don't know the cross reference to this is matthew chapter 15 and the bible says that she was sore vexed with a devil she was tormented by an evil spirit she comes to jesus and she's in desperation and she said my young daughter has an unclean spirit when she heard of him she came and fell at his feet i find it interesting in the bible of all the demonic deliverance confrontations that jesus had in his ministry and there were many in fact there were so many regardless of what the critics tell you that at least two times the bible says that many devils came out of many individuals so many in one night perhaps a mass deliverance service that it went from evening until the rising of the sun the next morning so jesus confronted a lot of evil unclean fouled devils demons and spirits whatever you want to call them and yet here's the interesting thing about the individuals that jesus met it's strange and odd to me how many children were afflicted by demonic activity that jesus met it says that she was just a young daughter a young child that had been vexed sore by an unclean spirit now i want to stop i want to kind of peruse through the text for a moment before we keep rolling but if i do not say this i'd be disobedient and you wouldn't get the proper understanding of where we are in this text there are some of you in this tent right now that will be in the service tonight some of you want to be in the service tonight but that spirit inside of you right now is trying to discontobulate you and say oh don't go there don't go there i said oh yeah go here go here praise god some of you are dealing with things in your life in your home and in your marriage right now that you opened a door to when you were just a child and you've been dealing with demonic activity since your younger years nine times out of ten when we see devils flee at the name of jesus they begin to renounce things that happen when they were eight ten 12 15 18 and so on and so on when they were just children and i'm gonna tell you why that is you hear me you hear me well the devil wants your kids did you hear me church the devil wants your kids you say well the devil's attacking my marriage yeah he'll normally do it through your children the devil wants your kids i'll tell you something about this culture and i'm about to make five of you mad but that's okay we need your seat next week huh the culture wants your kids the music industry wants your kids hollywood wants your kids pedophiles at disney wants your kids the buckwild lgbtq abcdefg crowd wants your kids the public schools look i know there's some good teachers in public schools i get it but you eventually have to make up your mind whose side you're on because i'm going to tell you what's happening in wilson county right now look at how mad you get public schools have become nothing more than transitional houses for gender dysphoria that's all it is i don't care if you clap or not we already took the offer and praise god huh it's become nothing more than transitional how well you know sally may be a stevie and stevie may be a susie are you having a boy or a girl well we'll just let the kindergarten teacher decide which one it is the devil wants your children this wicked hollywood culture wants your kids listen we got six crazy schizophrenic fall down the steps children okay ((music playing)) we're the coolest craziest mixed family you've ever met in your life okay and we've even got some adopted live-ins too praise god they just as crazy as the rest of them but i would say something you better know you better know what's going on in your kid's bedroom in the middle of the night more and more and more i'm finding that social media is becoming one of the most horrendous things you could ever imagine because kids are addicted to it and on instagram young ladies are depressed because everybody's using a filter to make themselves look like a rock star a model and like they weigh 85 pounds and they use 55 filters to get there and girls see that unrealistic stuff and they say i've got to look like that no you got to be who god made you to be you got to be who god made you to be i want my kids to have the right kind of heroes my daughters ain't looking up to beyonce britney spears and arrest him hookers in hollywood you hear me oh my goodness i didn't know you was going to say all that you should have watched the video before you got here but nonetheless you better watch out the devil's after your kids the devil's after your family the devil's after your marriage he came after this baby girl and the mama said i'm about to get desperate let that devil come out of my family and you better know the devil's after your children we get people all the time well you know i don't know if i ought to bring my kids to mass deliverance i think you ought to i think you ought to sometimes we have 8 10 12 and 15 year olds flare up for anybody else and man they start getting some freedom i preach the other night this little place this little dude walked up to me his name was cash show me the money i was in seattle the other night it's been a long week i was in seattle friday night and preaching in greenville yesterday afternoon got the bus and drove all night had a flat tire got here at five o'clock whoa i'm preaching half asleep right now little cash walked up to me the other night he put his hand up on my chest he said he could've been more than what nine years old a little video scooter he put his hand on my chest he said brother lock you lit a fire in me tonight i'm telling you god wants to turn this world upside down using children using boys and girls and teenagers some of you have family members and children that need deliverance in the name of god that'd be a different kid they would obey you if you break the curse off their life the devil's after your kids this culture's after your kids public schools after your kids the music industry's after your kids let me tell you something sports heroes are not raising my children ((music playing)) oprah and tom hanks are not raising my kids matter of fact i wouldn't leave my kids in a room with them pedophiles i'm not raising dogs at my house well we got a few of them but i'm raising kids and i'm telling you we better fight for our children we better fight for it so anyhow she said i got a young daughter has an unclean spirit she heard of him she came and she fell at his feet it's amazing what you'll do to embarrass yourself when you get desperate for your kids some of you got some prodigal sons you've got some prodigal daughters you gotta fall on your face at this altar this morning and say god this is the season when the prodigals are coming back home this is the season when the slumping figure is going to walk over the horizon and come back on the porch back to the father's house you better believe god that god can save your kids and restore your children and bring them back to the fold and she fell down she didn't care who she was or what she was and now her nationality is going to be called into question so check this out verse 26 the woman was a greek so i remind you right off the rip she's not even jewish she's not one of the children of abraham she was not an israeli she was not a hebrew you tracking with me she was of an other ethnic background she was a gentile this woman was a greek a seraphination by nation so not only was she looked at as a non-jew she was looked at as a half mixed breeded individual that was hated by people around her did you know that racism has been around for a very very long time and it is just as low down sorry wicked and evil today as it ever has been but there's a reason this context begins to pop off the page of the narrative the way that it does here's this greek moment you see a lot of times and this will probably come up in our demon debate on may 25th wednesday night make sure you're here for that live two hours we're going to debate deliverance i don't think there's much of a debate we got a lot of bible on our side but we'll give him a fair shake and a chance but i think one of the things that normally comes up when people are against deliverance business they say wait wait a minute jesus was only casting devils out of jewish people that dog only hunts if you don't read a bible because he's about to cast the devil out of a daughter that's not even there by proximity she's somewhere else and this woman was a greek she was no jew and jesus about to show up show out do some beautiful stuff so watch this she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter she said jesus i've been to a lot of doctors i've been to a lot of psychologists i've been to counselors and i know people tell me that all the time well you know pastor what i need to do is i need to make an appointment we need to do this for about six weeks so you can tell me the same thing over and over and i'm not gonna do it but just tell me the same thing over and over and over give me the same bible verses after a while i'm gonna kick you out of my office because i've been telling you to do what you should do and you still ain't done it six times why would you do it the seventh someone's like well you know what i need is i need to just spend a whole bunch of money for weeks and weeks and weeks of counseling what you need is about 20 minutes of deliverance is what you need you can throw them lord tabs in the garbage can you get rid of that xanax today in the name of jesus christ you can sleep fine tonight you ain't got to look at pornography you ain't got to be depressed and have a heavy spirit you can have some deliverance in the name of the lord jesus christ because that's where the power is and so right here she said look i need you to get this devil out of my daughter you need to cast it out by the way that's the only way you can get rid of a demon you know that i'm going to teach you something as a shepherd you know the bible talks about crucifying the flesh and everybody's like well how do you know you're just not struggling with the flesh because once you've done what the bible says to do with your flesh and it still don't work something is manipulating your flesh you see you can't cast out the flesh and you can't crucify a demon but you can crucify the flesh and cast out a demon in the name of jesus and there's a difference because you do have a flesh we don't minimize that but in this context she said he's got to come out all the way out get this devil out of my daughter well watch this verse 27 things about to get crazy but jesus said unto her let the children first be filled in the context of matthew 15 that cross references this he said look i came to the lost sheep of the house of israel and you not one of them he said look i am here to feed the children first now let me remind you john chapter 1 verse 11 jesus came into his own the jewish nation and his own received him not but because of their rejection blindness in part has happened to israel but whosoever the bible says believes on him today the son of god becomes their savior but there will be a day that israel will look upon him whom they have pierced and a whole nation will be born again in one day and you better know prophetically god is not done with the jewish people he has not done with them but he said look let the children first be filled let me fill them up let me preach to them let me cast out their devils let me heal them of infirmities but then please watch the next thing that comes out of his mouth this is red letters not greg letters so don't miss this let the children first be filled for it is not meat he said it's not even necessary to take the children's bread now wait timeout on the jake breaks he's not going to use a phrase so ambiguously that has no meaning whatsoever the children's bread do you know what jesus just said was the children's bread the context denotes only one thing deliverance she said cast the devil out of my daughter exorcism whatever call it and jesus said oh no why would i take the children's bread what's the children's bread the deliverance the casting forth the healing why would i take the children's bread and then notice this and cast it unto dogs now let's just be honest about something if i were to say that without a biblical reference today i'd be called everything but a human online you see the average person would look at that and say look how racist jesus was them fools would call jesus a white supremacist then he wasn't even white and so in this context he looked this woman who wanted a devil cast out of her daughter and she said please he said look i'm not going to take the children's bread i'm not going to take the ministry of healing and deliverance and take that bread and give it to a dog that was pretty rough people like now y'all need to preach like jesus be easy with that be easy with that jesus just called this woman a dog in the bible to her face and cancel culture would go crazy you think johnny depp's trial is nuts on tv man that been some spookiness going on in jesus trial he called this woman a dog he's a racist bigot but jesus had a point to prove notice what it was and she answered and said unto him yes lord she's like look i'm affirming this i know this i know i'm a seraphine i know i'm not a jew i know i'm a greek i'm a gentile i know i'm unworthy and aren't we all unworthy of the grace of god yes lord yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs now my dogs eat as good as we do praise god they don't even eat no crumbs them joker's jumping your lap steal your whole t-bone state praise the lord get out in jesus name but she said yes i understand that she said but i'm here out of desperation because even dogs under the table get the crumbs that fall to the ground and she said i'm so desperate right now i just want some crumbs you ever felt that way you weren't even asking for a big old blessing from god you just wanted some crumbs some of you just need to know today that god knows your name that god knows who you are he knows that brokenness that you're walking through he knows what's going on in your marriage he knows why some of you are single mamas you got some dead beat baby daddy who won't support you and take care of you and let me say this while i'm thinking about it don't you give that money to that deadbeat that's for you and your baby somebody say emily that sorry jerk comes crawling up on your front porch because he found out we gave you money you give him my phone number and i'll get him out in jesus name if he wasn't supporting you when you were broke don't you think for a second he's going to support you because you got some cabbage in your pocket huh don't throw your pearls before swine somebody's house say amen i just thought i interjected i want to help you single mamas some of y'all need to walk away from that toxic jerk in your life you say that don't sound real spiritual you ought to use your brain and use the bible well you know he's ruling the last 20 years of my life and he's going to ruin the next 20 years if you don't kick him out if he ain't got it by now he ain't gonna get it so all that to say don't give that man you money praise god you take care of you you take care you get but nonetheless she's like i just want some crumbs i just want the the end of the pizza anybody like to end the pizza put your hand up you like to end the pizza all right we give imitation man every one of y'all gonna come up and get right with the lord why do you think they had to put cheese in it to make you want to eat it don't nobody eat no pizza ends that's like eating a cantaloupe brine that's nasty i don't even need cantaloupe but nonetheless they said look we just want some pizza crust jesus we just want the crumbs that fall from the table man that was a spirit-filled moment of faith for that woman she's like i'm not here for the whole truckload i just want a ziploc sandwich bag i just need a little bit what i need is for my kid she wasn't even there for herself now let me circle the wagons and say something needs to be said this important parents are always responsible for the faith of their children in the bible right now you know for a while my kids have borrowed convictions because they get them from me but every bucket sits on its own bottom there comes a point they got to get their own values they got to get their own convictions they got to get their own biblical belief system from the bible right am i tracking with you you're tracking with me but until that time you are responsible for the faith of your children responsible for it do you know that jesus never healed or demonically exercised a child in the bible unless he had at least one of the parents permission to do it think about mark chapter nine they brought a non-verbal young man that was throwing himself in the water and in the fire and jesus said to the daddy not to the kid do you have faith he said i believe but help my unbelief jesus never messed with a child without parental permission you know why the parent is in charge of the faith of their children and some of you need to get that in your spirit and in your heart today stop letting the world babysit your kids and drag them to hell when you ought to be a father and a mother and spend some time with them somebody say amen up in his house i know we all make mistakes we all provoke our children to wrath we all do stupid stuff but for the love of our children we should express faith and desperation for their spiritual condition and here's what we found in deliverance ministry it's one of the most beautiful things i could ever imagine and i didn't even know it was a thing until we started it we've seen children in other cities and states we've seen children not even on this campus receive freedom and deliverance through the freedom and deliverance of either both or one of their parents in a mass deliverance or in a personal deliverance session because you are the spiritual covering for your kids and every parent has a responsibility to cover their kids and to have faith for them when they don't understand it and god will bless them on behalf of the authority in their life it's important for you to get that now i'm going to go one step further and say this this has nothing to do with the text but everything to do with the message it's mama's day but let me talk to you husbands for just a minute is that okay i ask like i'm gonna not do it if you say oh no no i'm gonna do it anyhow so let me just jump out and say something yes it's true that mothers and fathers both or either or have the responsibility to have faith for their kids but let me tell you you husband something matter of fact if you're a husband in this house whether your wife's here or not i want you to stand up right now all husbands yeah i'm gonna put you on a spot all husbands stand up all over look them husbands that's a lot of husbands no y'all ain't getting thousand dollars but it's a lot of husbands now stay standing and look at me for a minute because i love you enough as your shepherd to tell you something whether you come here all the time or you just be bopped in look i get tired of men saying things like this well my wife's just not as spiritual as i am that is not an indication of her problem it's an indication of your problem you see you're the spiritual covering for your wife and you know what the bible says that if she will learn anything let her ask her husband at home that doesn't mean she can't have a role in the local church all right that's nonsense but what it means is this every husband in this house and watching online i hope you're standing in the kitchen sir every one of you every one of you have a personal responsibility to personally disciple your wife in things of spirituality do you know that's what the bible teaches it's not my job to disciple your wife it's my job to disciple my wife so you be careful when you come to me with that nonsense well my wife's just not spiritual that is not her problem it is yours you can sit down all over the house because just as much as parents are responsible for the faith of their kids husbands are responsible for the spiritual growth of their wife and i'm telling you that's as lit of a bible truth as you'll ever hear anybody say but nobody ever preaches on that and so in this context she said please do would you do something i can't do it i've been everywhere i've tried everything but nothing is responding she said even the dogs get the crumbs watch this verse number 29. he said unto her for this saying go thy way now in matthew 15 the bible says that he was blown away by her statement if you say something to impress jesus you talking good not a whole lot impresses the living word he's pretty wordy right he was impressed at what this woman said this greek non-israeli woman said for this saying for what you just go thy way why because the devil has gone out of thy daughter wasn't in the same vicinity by way of proximity jesus said that devil's got to go based on the faith of a devil fighting mama a mama that fell on her face and wasn't going to give up a mama that kept praying a mama that kept fasting a mama they kept crawling on her knees like a dog literally i'm not leaving until my child is healed i'm not leaving until my daughter is no more sore vexed by this demonic entity that has taken over her and the bible says that because of her faith in saying i'm just here for the crumbs on the floor under the table jesus said ding ding ding ding ding or chicken dinner because you said that i'm going to do exactly what you wanted me to do and the devil has gone out of your daughter it's the only time we find that jesus performed an if you will deliverance or exorcism when he wasn't even in the room with the person it's much like jerry as his daughter she died and jesus said go home and she's gonna be alive and in this context he said the devil has gone out of your daughter and the only thing she had to believe was the word of the lord jesus christ she could have discounted that she could have disobeyed that she could have doubted that she could have said there's no way in the world but she knew that what jesus said was correct she trusted the word of god when it didn't even make sense and by the way that's what you and i are called to do james 1 22 be doers of the word and not hearers only remember that thief on the cross there was two of them one in rebellion and one in reception one was rejecting one was receiving and the one that received said lord today would you remember me when you come to your kingdom not next week knock next month would you remember me remember what jesus said in luke chapter 23 today say today not in 20 days from now not when you do better not when you get off the cross and get baptized and have some experience he said today you're going to be with me in paradise now we have to ask the question do you think then that that day when he died he met jesus in paradise yes or no yes because titus 1 2 says god cannot lie so here's my question this guy is dying of officiation he is strangling he can't breathe he is going to die he's going to drown in his own bodily fluid after he's been beaten and crucified they break his legs so that he no longer can breathe but he turns to jesus and said remember me remember me when you come to your kingdom and jesus simply said this today you'll be with me in my kingdom today you're going to meet me in paradise and that was it and then the bible said that jesus bowed his head gave up the ghost the other guy died too so my question is what did that guy had to base the reality of his salvation on not his works right it's not like he crawled down and went to a baptismal tank it's not like he had to have some emotional experience nothing he didn't go to deliverance service the guy had one thing to bank on the word of jesus that was it jesus said it's gonna be done today the guy's like okay he died in the comfort of resting in the word of jesus and may we live and die in the comfort of the word of jesus because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god romans 10 17 i know i'm saved because the bible tells me i'm saved i know i'm set free because the bible tells me i'm set free but then notice as we draw it to a landing strip verse number 30. it says and when she was come to her house so she left she believed the word of god she fought against that demonic activity and when she was come to her house she found the devil gone out which would tell me without even having to guess or surmise that it was an obvious situation it was noticeable to the point that when she got home she knew without a shadow of a doubt that the devil was up and out and gone out of her daughter and had left the house it was obvious and can i say you know when somebody's been released from demonic oppression it becomes obvious because it changes their composure it changes their facial features it changes their life it changes their heart it changes everything about them and she walked in and saw the devil was gone out and noticed what was happening and her daughter laid upon the bed here she was laid out changed transformed a new individual not because she was crying out in faith of her own accord but because across town there was a desperate broken hearted beat up greek seraphination non-jewish woman that didn't even fit in with the rest of the crowd she was from the other side of the tracks as we would say and she crawls into the crowd and you better know there was a great crowd jesus couldn't even be hid there was no invisibility factor he couldn't rest everybody's clamoring about his attention she didn't care and she caused a stir when she came and she fell down before him and she said now jesus i'm not even part of your ministry i'm not even a member of your church i don't even understand a lot of what is going on but i know there's a demon that's attacked my family there's a devil that has hurt my daughter and i'm going to war for her right now and if you could do anything i need you to help me right now and jesus said now let me tell you who i'm called to help and she said oh i i understand that theologically but practically i just need a little crumb thrown out to me and jesus said my my my you got more theology in your pinky than most of the church has in their whole head because of your faith be it unto you and to your daughter and that moment the devil was cast out and the woman in faith compassion and assurance walked home with a new pep in her step with a song in her voice with some spiritual spizzaringdom kicked open the bedroom door and there was her daughter without a devil laying in the bed whole as jesus exactly said it was going to transpire and all it took was the desperation of a mama that was willing to fight hell by the acre a mama that was willing to stand up and say enough's enough you're not getting my kids ((applause)) you're not getting my son you're not getting my daughter you're not getting my marriage you're not getting my house well the most important things that some of you will do tonight after the service some of you mamas especially but hopefully some of you men will put on your big boy britches and make some leadership decisions in your house get you a little bottle of anointed oil we'll get you some if you need it you go back to your house and you start anointing every window and every door and the front porch and you cast them devils out of your house and you get rid of them romance novels that you've been reading when you get rid of that occultic mess and you have yourself a good old-fashioned burn barrel in the backyard and make a fuss at a ruckus for jesus cleanse your house of some witchcraft some occultic nonsense kick hollywood up out of your house and go to war for your children and watch if god don't set them free by the power of the gospel ladies and gentlemen by the power of the gospel he'll do it yes he will and here's jesus in a small minor very public altercation with a broken-hearted mama well the mama so desperate that she was willing to put it all on the line and look like a fool in front of everyone and be called out publicly by jesus himself and she didn't even care she didn't even care i saw a picture some time ago and i'm just gonna quit i ain't done i'm just gonna quit picture of a tombstone i hope i can find it again i don't know how i came across it don't google it while i'm preaching you can do it when we're done maybe one of the saddest things i've ever seen in my whole life just a simple tombstone and here's what it said here lies a young man that never heard his mama pray for him did you get that what a tragedy here lies a young man that never hurt his mama pray for him it's mama's day but mamas and daddies both hear me and hear me well as your shepherd when i tell you you are responsible for the active faith and growth of your children and some of you when we begin to pray ought to make a beeline to this astro turf up here in front of this altar and get on your knees and call out to god for your sons and your daughters both in and out of your house especially if they're in a season of being a prodigal you ought to pray that it'll be a season of them coming back by the glory of god by the faith of the gospel and some of you ought to get on your face and say god i'm standing in agreement with what the preacher said the devil can't have my marriage the devil can't have my daughter the devil can't help my son and some of you need to fall on your face and get real with god and have a revival and be a mama or a daddy that's willing to fight hell for your children and it's time that we stand in the gap and say the devil will not get my family if you believe it shout amen this morning amen amen i'm not going to take too long but i want to give you a little bit of hope this morning for all of you that are in a season right now that you're really trusting god for your prodigal child i wasn't going to talk about my mom today but i'm going to talk about my mom today last year on mother's day was the last time that i ever saw my mom alive and so today is my last first without my mom as it were and this morning i was reflecting just about my mom and i i told the girls i was like i'm really trying not to be sad but i feel sad and so i cried but it's okay but you know something that's beautiful about my mom that i'm so thankful that i have the memory of is my mom had started attending started attending this church back in like i don't know i think 2013 i believe it was and she kept asking me and asking me come to church come to church come to church and i was just like yeah that's okay i don't feel like it i didn't feel like it but i was in drug addiction i'd been in drug addiction for 15 years and in august of the year 2013 i had enough with life as it were and i decided that i was just going to take an entire bottle of pills and i was going to walk down the street here in mount juliet and i was for certain that day that that would be the end for me which is at the time was my heart's desire and that day i woke up in a ditch of a church here in mount juliet and i'll never forget my mom at that point of my life because this is what most of us don't see and don't understand when we're going through hard trials with our children is that god moves on the behalf of a praying mama he does and i stand here today before you because my mother prayed for me for a long time and when my sister and my mom found me well my sister found me and then she took me to my mom which for the life of me i still don't understand i'm still a little bit mad about that maria i'm like of all the people you could took me to you took me to my mom seriously i would have went anywhere besides my mom but i'll never forget that day because my mom said something so profound to me well it wasn't that day it was the next day because i was kind of angry that day but my mom looked at me and she said i don't want to leave this earth ((music playing)) and leave you the way that you are right now and i have prayed for you every single day that the lord would find you and that he would meet you exactly where you are and that wednesday night of that very week i walked into global vision bible church and i gave my life to the lord that day because my mom in the worst time of my life she loved me and she prayed for me you see it's one thing to be there for your children in the good times but it's the heart of a momma in the worst times that you go before god broken and i think back to that today on mother's day as i honor my mom's first mother's day in heaven and i thank god i thank god that i had a prank mom so no matter the trial that you're facing because let's be honest being a parent is hard sometimes but no matter what there is a god in heaven and he hears you and he sees you and he's with you because he said that he would never leave you and never forsake you you see the god that we serve he's the god of the valley and the god of the mountaintop ((music playing)) and he is with you wherever you go in every season of life the constant one he never changes the same yesterday today and forever and god is faithful and i love in the book of romans it says now being i am fully persuaded that he that promised is also able to fulfill that promise because we serve a faithful god and i want to remind you today no matter the season of life that you're in as a mom or as a dad that if god has given you a promise for your child if god be for you who can be against you you see he said i built my church upon this rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail not that it won't come against but it will not prevail you see we are more than conquerors through christ who loves us so today rest in the promise of the father lord we come to you today in the name that is above every name ((music playing)) and lord we thank you today for the gift of moms lord that you looked upon us and you decided that you were gonna bless us with some children whether they be crazy right now or not lord they were a good gift from you because your word says that every good and perfect gift is from above and lord you have trusted us as parents with these beautiful creatures that you have created and lord there is no doubt that more times than not we get things wrong as parents but lord today would you teach us to love the way that you love lord would you teach us to give grace to our children the way that you give grace to us because father so often we find it hard to show our children the love of the father but there is no greater love than this than the love of the father that sent his only son for us he became sin for us ((music playing)) so lord today would you remind us as parents that lord we can rest in your grace lord we can rest in your promise because all of your promises are yes and amen you are the faithful and true witness the book of titus says that you cannot lie and lord you said to us that if we would train up our children in the way that they should go they will not depart from it and sometimes lord it feels like they're taking the very very long way around the barn but lord we can rest in your promise we can rest in the fact that they are on a journey to find who you are that you are seeking them that you are running after them because surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives and lord we thank you for that we thank you for the goodness of who you are that in every trial we can lift up our eyes to where our help comes from lord that in every season of life we can glorify you and praise you lord we can enter into your gates with thanksgiving and into your courts with praise because you are the exalted one the name above all names the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end and lord you are everything in between no matter the season you are everything that we have ever needed for every season of life for all of our days and lord we lift you on high lord we join in with all the angels and saints and say holy holy holy is the lord god of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory lord you're still the same god today that you were when jesus stood on that boat and he spoke to the winds and waves and he said peace be still the winds and waves still obey your name all of creation follows the sound of your voice father and lord we can trust in you we can believe you for our children lord we can go toe-to-toe with the devil we can stand and resist the devil and he must flee from us lord today would you give some mamas in the house some holy ghost power within them lord that they would stand and resist the devil for their children the god because lord you have given us power to trample like scorpion and serpents god lord we are victorious for you we are not fighting for victory god we are fighting from a victory lord lord we stand in the heavenly places with you undefeated lord you are undefeated god and lord you have never lost a battle the battle belongs to the lord and father we can rest in that promise today that you will never lose lord you have already taken the keys of death and hell you have overcame the grave and father we could trust in you for our children mort we can trust you right here right now in this place brother we can lift up a hallelujah to you lord lord we can give you honor and praise and glory father because you are truly worthy of it all lord and no matter the valley god you are with the shango i walk through the valley of the shadow of death thou art with me my rod and thy staff they comfort me lord lord you comfort us god you restore our souls god lord we thank you for the healing of the inner man father lord we thank you for who you are in jesus name hallelujah hallelujah if you are here today
