A collection of messages from voices at our UPPERROOM Dallas Campus
Hey, UPPERROOM Dallas Podcast. We wanted to let you know that there is a pastors and leaders conference coming up next month, April. And if you are a pastor or a leader in ministry, we know that you're carrying things that most people don't really see. And we wanna invite you to a space to be refreshed, to come worship with us, minister to the Lord, and just receive and to be in a place of receiving. So if that sounds like something that you're interested in, you can find more information and you can register for the conference on upperroom.co.
Speaker 1:We love you.
Speaker 2:Well, hi. Chase, I'm so thankful for you. Are you guys thankful for Chase? I'm really am. This is a true man of God and he carries you in his heart before the Lord, especially he's our young adult pastor.
Speaker 2:So, I also wanna honor this team that was up here because, wow, Brett, what a what a beautiful way to hear the Lord and make room for people to respond to him in a moment. And, and then I also I I don't know if if you how many of you are newer to UPPERROOM? Anyone? Visiting? How many are visiting?
Speaker 2:Welcome. We're so glad you're here. I don't know if anyone's ever talked about this, but do you know why we paint? Why we have dancing? Why we have instruments?
Speaker 2:I'll tell you why. Because we believe that all creativity has first originated with the creator. And that the first thing that we should do with that creativity is give it back to Him in worship. And so everything that you have in you that's creative is actually because He breathed it in you, and it's first and foremost for Him. It's from Him, through Him, and unto Him.
Speaker 2:And so we love to just all the expressions of creativity are for worship to our Creator. And so, I know. Let that bless somebody who's out there creating. Okay. Well, I my name is Lorisa Miller in case I think he said that, but my husband and I are the senior leaders here and I'm gonna be with you this tonight and next Sunday night.
Speaker 2:And wow. Yay. I'm excited too. I am. I am.
Speaker 2:Know Michael said this last week and I'm like, we both are like, I want Sunday night. No. I'm kidding. I love all the all the church. But I love this group.
Speaker 2:There's just something about the hunger that is special. But I so we're gonna do two parts. So we're gonna talk about what John said about Jesus. In John chapter one, he said, behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. And so tonight, we're gonna talk about Jesus, our Passover lamb, and what that means for you.
Speaker 2:And next week, we're gonna talk about how we handle the sin of the world. How we what do we do? What do we do when sin comes across our screen? You know, I don't mean your screen, but like your proverbial screen. What do you do when sin touches your life that's not even yours?
Speaker 2:But you see it, you hear it, you experience it. What do you do with that? So, let's pray. Okay. Father, thank you.
Speaker 2:Thank you for being the kind of father that stands on the porch and sees your sons and daughters while we're still far off. Thank you for being the one that comes running. We love who you are. And Lord, we confess we need a revelation of just how wonderful you are. Because religion and the devil and sin, sometimes it all clouds our eyes to just see how wonderful you are.
Speaker 2:How full of love you are. How merciful. How kind and compassionate. How long suffering. And so I'm asking God for a spirit of wisdom and revelation to be in this house tonight, to fall on hearts and minds, Lord.
Speaker 2:Because I know, Lord, that sermons don't last. They don't change things. But Your presence, Your spirit, a revelation of who You are, it changes everything. And so Lord, I yield my whole self to You. Have Your way in me, through me.
Speaker 2:Have your way all over this room. Be unhindered, Lord, by anything. In Jesus' name I pray. If you if you didn't grow up in church and then maybe even if you did, the whole idea of like a lamb, like worthy is the lamb. Have you ever thought about how strange that is?
Speaker 2:No, no, really, like have you ever pictured just a lamb? And a whole, you know, all of heaven singing to a lamb. And then we sing about we overcome by the blood of the lamb, and like, sometimes I just, I've been having been in church my whole life, sometimes I just glitch out and like, that's weird. That sounds so weird. If I had to explain that to a completely unfamiliar unchurched person, that would be like a lot to explain.
Speaker 2:Am I right? And so I I wanna just I we're gonna be a little bit teachy tonight. So put on your like, I wanna be a student of the word tonight. So do take notes. Passover is in let's see what's today?
Speaker 2:It's in like two and a half weeks? Two. No, three. Three. It's in about three weeks.
Speaker 2:Well, in three weeks will be Palm Sunday. Yes. In three weeks will be Palm Sunday. This is how I count. In three weeks will be Palm Sunday.
Speaker 2:And then that week starts Passover. And, we're gonna have actually, you need to mark your calendar. I said this recently. I don't know if I said it to you guys, but on Tuesday, March 31, we're having a very special night here. We're gonna have a Passover service with a guy with a group called Tickoon Global, a guy named Asher and Trader who's a messianic Jew who's gonna teach us about Passover.
Speaker 2:It's gonna be very rich. We're not gonna eat a meal, but we're gonna learn. And then what we're asking of you, if you call UPPERROOM your home, I really wanna encourage you to host a Passover meal in your home or attend one, like get together if you're not, you know, a family unit. Get together with some other people here and have a Passover. It's called a seder.
Speaker 2:The dinner is called a seder. Have and we're gonna give you resources, we're gonna give you tools, we're gonna equip you so it's less intimidating. The point is that the gospel is revealed in the Passover meal. And so there's so much that as Gentiles, we're missing. When we when we sing about worthy is the lamb, there's just so much that like is doing this.
Speaker 2:And there's just a richness that I wanna invite you into. Yes? Are you okay? Yes. Alright.
Speaker 2:So in John chapter one verse 29, John introduce this is Jesus' introduction. Right? They've been cousins, but this is like his public introduction. Jesus is comes walking up. John's already been preaching to a crowd, and he says, behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Speaker 2:Now, let's just explore this concept of a lamb for a minute. The first time that we know of that like a lamb appears in scripture is a ram. Anybody know? Should we play by yes, Abraham. So so Abraham is going to sacrifice his son Isaac, and he's he's has him tied up on the altar, it's a terrifying horrifying scene.
Speaker 2:He's lifted the knife, he's getting ready to to do the deed, and the Lord stops him, and he says, I've provided. And he looks over and there's a ram in the thicket. So this is the first time we have an imagery of a lamb in place of. Are you following me? So a lamb was it's a it's a ram though, in that situation.
Speaker 2:So then the second one we have is when the Israelites are getting freed from Egypt. So I want you to go to Exodus 12 and we're gonna look at a large chunk of scripture. So how many plagues were there? Come on. 10.
Speaker 2:There were 10 plagues. So there've been all the the locusts and the frogs and the darkness and the blood and the Terrible. And now and now we're about the tenth plague is about to come. And God institutes something called the Passover. Say the Passover.
Speaker 2:He institutes something that he commands the Israelites to do in perpetuity, every year. So I want you to go to Exodus 12. This meal, this feast, this whole this whole ritual that we're about to read, is it this is what I love. It it it's going to it's going to mark their beginning of their time from now on. Look at this.
Speaker 2:Chapter 12 verse one. Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, this month shall be your beginning of months. What's he saying? He's like, this this whole moment where you're gonna get finally free, all your all your beginnings start with freedom. All your beginnings are gonna start with freedom.
Speaker 2:It shall be the first month of the year to you. Verse three, speak to all the congregation of Israel saying, on the tenth of this month, every man shall take for himself a lamb according to the house of his father. A lamb for a household. Say, for a household. And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons.
Speaker 2:In other words, if there's only like two people next door, and a lamb is way too much for them, they could just join their neighbors. You following me? Alright. According to each man's need, shall make your count for the lamb. Verse five.
Speaker 2:Your lamb shall be without blemish. Say without blemish. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Okay.
Speaker 2:So on the tenth day, specific day, they're supposed to take a lamb, a year old, a male without blemish from their, whatever you call it, herd, fold. I don't know what it's called. Flock? Flock? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Flock. Whatever. The group of animals. Okay? I come from cow country, not sheep country.
Speaker 2:But, okay. So so they find this, they locate this lamb. And now they're bringing it either, it's unclear. It's either in the house, or right there, like in the courtyard of the house. So in other words, this lamb now, from the tenth day to the fourteenth day, is like a pet.
Speaker 2:It's like a it's it's not with the other animals, it's like close. So the family's having to walk by it, they're having to feed it, they're having to tend to it, because little lamb is just there by himself. The shepherd's not taking this lamb out with the other lambs. He's he's part of the family. So for four days, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, that's five days.
Speaker 2:There this is what's happening. So there's the lamb there close to the family. And on the fourteenth day, everybody look at verse six. Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
Speaker 2:Alright. So everyone at the same time on this certain day, takes that lamb that's been at their house for four days, they've been tending to, they've become accustomed to over these over this time, and they're all slaughtering sorry. They're all slaughtering these animals at the same time, at twilight. And then, verse seven, they take some of the blood and they put it on the doorposts and up above, which is called the lintel of the house that you belong to. I want you to picture where you live right now.
Speaker 2:Picture your house, your apartment, or whatever. Okay? And you blood is gonna be applied to that entry point, to both sides and the top. Verse eight. Then they shall eat the flesh on that night roasted in fire with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs, they shall eat it.
Speaker 2:Do not eat it raw nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its entrails. You shall let none of it remain until morning. And what remains of it until morning, shall burn with fire and thus you shall eat eat it with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, your staff in your hands, you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover. Verse 12.
Speaker 2:For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And against all the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Speaker 2:So this day shall be to you a memorial, and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. Okay. In in first Corinthians chapter five, Paul let's look at this scripture. First Corinthians five seven. He says, therefore purge out the old leaven that you may be a new lump since you truly are unleavened.
Speaker 2:For indeed Christ, our Passover was sacrificed for us. Interesting parallels. Jesus Jesus went in rode into Jerusalem on the tenth day. And during those days that he was questioned and accused, it was up until the fourth day when Pilate said, I find no fault in him. So it was confirmed after four days, no blemish.
Speaker 2:Now, when Jesus was crucified at the ninth hour, when he gave up his spirit, history tells us that that even though that was like 3PM, even though that wasn't twilight, on Passover during those years, like Josephus recorded that that they would have been slaughtering at the temple like 250,000 lambs for Passover. And so they had to start earlier. They had to start earlier because that many lambs were getting slaughtered. And so at the very time Jesus gave up his spirit at the temple, hundreds of thousands of lambs were being slaughtered. The Jews, because it was Sabbath and Passover, wanted to hurry up and get the bodies down off the crosses, and so they said, can we go break their legs to like hurry this process up?
Speaker 2:And when they get to Jesus, he had already died, which was a miracle. And and so none of his bones were broken, which is which is another prophecy about the Passover lamb, it could not have any bones broken. So even though those the others being crucified, their bones were broken, but not Jesus. Jesus is our Passover lamb. And and and something I want you to see tonight, is that the Father, just like Chase said, the Father so loved the world that He gave His own lamb.
Speaker 2:He gave His own lamb, and He took He took hyssop, and he applied the blood to the door of his house. And he said, if you if you wanna be protected from the wages of sin, which is what? If you wanna be protected from death, you come in this house, and you stay in this house. And then when I see the blood, I pass over you. Because sin has to be accounted for.
Speaker 2:It has to be paid for. It must be paid for. And so the Father sent His own lamb for us. And then He called us. Look at Ephesians two nineteen.
Speaker 2:He says, now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but your fellow citizens with the saints. And what are we? We are members of the household of God. What I saw a precious woman do up here on the mezzanine today when she raised her hand, what I heard her say is, I wanna be inside that house. I wanna be inside that house.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna let the Father cover me with the blood of his son. There is no there's no other way to be saved or to be free. And so this this this meal, this this holy celebration marked the beginning of the Israelites experiencing coming out of bondage and going into freedom. And every year, we celebrate to remember, oh, I'm in the household of God and the blood is there on the doorposts. And I'm not my The wages of my sin are not being paid by me.
Speaker 2:They've been paid. They've been paid. And and something I've I've felt specifically for tonight, I might need Danny, are you here to hop on the keys? I don't see you. Are you?
Speaker 2:Oh no, it wasn't you. Who was on the keys? Sorry, Martin. I don't know why I thought it was Danny on the keys. I I feel like I wanna share a little bit of my testimony with you.
Speaker 2:Because I I was raised in church, but I did not have an understanding of the gospel. I didn't have understanding of relationship with God. I just had an understanding of like right and wrong. Like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And, when I finally came into an understanding of the gospel and the presence of God here on the earth by his spirit, so much started to change for me.
Speaker 2:And one of the things that the Lord led me into was freedom from bondage that came through my family line. And I sensed tonight as I prayed and prepared, that as we lead up these weeks to Passover, that the Lord Himself was really zealous for this group to receive the freedom that He purchased. And things travel in family lines. Iniquities, biblically, come in family lines. And I I don't wanna I don't wanna uncover too much about my family, but I there was divorce.
Speaker 2:It was a really bad ugly messy divorce. I was 14. And, I, from the time I was 14 till the time I was 24, I was just plagued with this fear that I would be like my family members. That I would become what they I would do the things that they had done. That I would sin in the ways that they had sinned.
Speaker 2:And it was a crippling fear. It was a paralyzing fear. And the thing about that crazy fear is that that iniquity actually like, it was become a self fulfilling prophecy. Does that make sense? Like, don't know how many of you have like, you have a parent who maybe dealt with substance abuse, or rage, or I'm gonna go through a list in a minute.
Speaker 2:And you're you're like, I don't wanna do that. I don't I will I will not be that way. I will not do that. I will not treat my kids that way. I will not act out in that way.
Speaker 2:And yet, have you ever shown yourself like, I'm doing that very thing? It's because it's because iniquity actually, it is passed down. I don't have time to go into that. But the blood of the Passover lamb applied to a household has the power to set you free from any generational generational? Generational.
Speaker 2:That sounded off coming out of my mouth. You ever say a word and all of sudden you're like, is that a word? It has the power to set you free. The blood of the Passover lamb has the power to liberate you from those bondages. One of the really key things when I when I began to receive this understanding, when I began to like step into, oh my goodness, I think I think this is I think Jesus purchased this for me.
Speaker 2:That I could be free from that tormenting, crippling fear that was becoming a self fulfilling prophecy in how I lived my life. You see, because there's a lot of pride in a heart that says, I won't ever do that. I won't ever be like that. There's a lot of pride in there that thinks that you actually have the power in and of yourself to accomplish that. You don't.
Speaker 2:I'll just burst your bubble. You don't. But one of the the most key parts of this is forgiveness. It's it's coming out of the pride that has judged your family. And that has made, we call these inner vows.
Speaker 2:I'm like doing a little bit of training on deliverance this, in this moment. And let me just like, level the playing field here. We all need to be delivered. Either you have been, or you're going to be, but if you don't need deliverance, then you're saying, I don't need to be in the house. I don't need the blood.
Speaker 2:So tonight, you're either going to stand in celebration and gratitude for what's already happened, or you're gonna say, I need that and I haven't had that yet. Okay. So so here's what happens when you've said, I'll never do that. That's called an inner vow. And that is a vow of pride, rooted in fear and control.
Speaker 2:And it makes no room for the power of the Holy Spirit to work through you. It's judgment. And it's it's two different things to say, I'll I'll never do that. I would never I I I swear I'll never be that way. That's different from acknowledging that was a thing.
Speaker 2:My I'm just throwing out examples. Like, my dad was an alcoholic. My dad was not an alcoholic. I'm giving you an example. That that's different.
Speaker 2:That's not a judgment. That's a statement of reality. Do you understand the difference? And and I remember also being really afraid to just call a spade a spade in my family. Not to anyone, but even to admit to myself, this was a thing that existed in my family.
Speaker 2:This control, this manipulation, this religious arrogance, this like, whatever it was. I I felt afraid to admit it because I didn't want it to be true. Anyone understand that feeling? And I didn't want to accept the fact that my my family had a lot of imperfection. And I wanted so badly to honor my parents, that it was difficult to admit some of those things.
Speaker 2:Are you guys following me? Yes. Okay. So so so two things have to happen as these things begin to bubble up in your heart. And I guarantee you, many of you right now are already thinking of things like, oh, this.
Speaker 2:Oh, this is a pattern. This is a thing. Two things have to happen. You've gotta you've gotta repent of that inner vow. That vow that says, I will never.
Speaker 2:You've got to go, actually, I don't have the power in in and of myself to do that. It comes from a good motive, like, of course you never wanna be an alcoholic. Of course you don't ever wanna abuse someone. Of course you don't ever wanna rage. That's great.
Speaker 2:That's a great motive. But you've gotta it's gotta come from dependence on the Holy Spirit. Okay? Okay. So you've gotta repent and break that inner vow.
Speaker 2:And then the second thing you you have to do in order to get freedom, is that the same blood that you need to go on your house is the same blood that your back line, your, you know, the people before you. Your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents. You've got to forgive. They also need that blood. And the healing and the freedom, I'm telling you, ten years of a tormenting crippling fear that controlled so much my that that that tormenting crippling fear controlled my behavior.
Speaker 2:I lived from that place. And it was so destructive to me and to others. It was destructive. And but I'm telling you that the freedom came when I acknowledged that vow, and I repented of it, and I forgave. Now depending on your situation, I was able to one person have like a moment where we we we were face to face, and I got to that person got to confess what they had done, and I got to look them back in the eye and say, I forgive you.
Speaker 2:Not all of us are gonna have that reality. With the other side of my family, I didn't I I will one day have that experience in Jesus' name. But I haven't had that yet, but I have forgiven from my heart. And the freedom, I'm telling you, ten years of that was gone. It was gone.
Speaker 2:I felt I felt clean. I felt free. I felt light. I felt hopeful. I felt like, wow, God could write a future for me that looked different than what I had experienced or what I was terrified that I was going to recreate.
Speaker 2:And so, we're going to just we're going to take some time to step into this. Okay? So here's what here's what I'm going ask you to do. I want you to find something to write with. If you need to make a note in your phone, that's fine.
Speaker 2:Just like, please put it on airplane mode or something. I myself am that easily distracted. I understand. But just help yourself. The enemy would love for you to be distracted right about now.
Speaker 2:There actually really is power in the blood of Jesus. And Revelation 13 says that he was the lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. So the shedding, the slaughtering has been done. Even the applying has been done. What's left for us to do is get in the house fully, and not leave anything about us untouched by that blood.
Speaker 2:You following me? Okay. So I want you, this is like, we're we're we're gonna all step into this. I want you to let the Lord, let the Holy Spirit just bubble up in you anything that comes to mind. Especially about your family of origin.
Speaker 2:You're like, what did you grow up? What did you notice? What what are you Is there any part of my story that you're like, oh, I I understand that. I I That thing that I hated, I've I've been afraid of happening. It has marred me.
Speaker 2:And I'm gonna begin to name some things. And I just want you to write down like what what of what I'm saying like, if one of these hits you, just write that down. These are in no certain order. And again, let me just repeat it again, there's no shame. And there's no there's you're not doing anything wrong by admitting what was a thing.
Speaker 2:Calling a spade a spade. It's okay. You can still honor and love and respect your family and still just admit this was a thing. All right? Okay.
Speaker 2:Anger and rage. Divorce, adultery, abuse, drunkenness, drug abuse, bitterness, gossip, Slander. And you might have many. It's okay. Racism.
Speaker 2:And I want you to just let the We're partnering with the Holy Spirit right now. So let anything come up that like, oh yeah, I overheard my grandparents say this once. And that And it The fact that you're thinking of it right now is an indication that the Lord wants to apply his blood to those things. Okay? Did I say slander?
Speaker 2:Slander. Family division. Like, oh, we don't talk to that uncle. That person doesn't talk to so and so. We haven't seen them in twenty years.
Speaker 2:That kind of a thing. Greed. Poverty, debt, gluttony, suicide, self hatred, Seduction. Pride. Misogyny.
Speaker 2:That's like the hatred of women. Violence. There's a lot of like filthy language. Victim mentality. And now I could keep going, but I'm kind of getting to the end of my list.
Speaker 2:But I know there's things that like, if you're just like, you're sitting there like, oh, I saw this in my my mom, my aunt, my Like this was a pattern. I want you to just pay attention to any pattern. Can I get the team to come up here? I realize that for some people this feels a little scary. That's just because freedom is so wonderful and the enemy wants you afraid.
Speaker 2:Are you guys doing okay? I want you to now just give me a nod if you're like, I have something written down. Give me a nod. Okay. Good.
Speaker 2:Some of you may have already like, this is all things that you've already experienced freedom in. Praise God, then tonight will just be a night that we enjoy and we minister. Okay. So two things. So we're going to just go ahead and activate.
Speaker 2:And in a minute you're going to actually respond. Okay? So we're going to do two things. You're we're going to I'm going to lead you through breaking that that vow. I would never.
Speaker 2:We're just gonna humble ourselves before the Lord. Whenever you'd you made that vow, you were probably doing it from a place of fear and pain. And so the Lord's merciful. He's good. He's a healer.
Speaker 2:He's a dad. And then and then we're gonna forgive. Whatever person in your family that you witnessed those things in them, or maybe experienced it from them. Now this is between you and God. I can't do this business for you.
Speaker 2:This is a you thing. Remember, I can be in the house with the blood applied and I can be like, come in here. But I cannot like Right? You get to choose. This is the Father's wonderfully gracious in that He lets us choose to come in and experience full freedom.
Speaker 2:Okay? All right. Now remember, I'm gonna I'm gonna go through this list again. And now remember, there's no shame in like standing up if you when you hear one of these things because we're not looking at you thinking that you have rage or that you're we don't know. It could be your great granddad.
Speaker 2:Okay? So no one's judging anyone. Can we agree? No one's judging anyone because we all need freedom. And all families are weird with stuff.
Speaker 2:All of them. Trust me, I've been doing this long enough and hanging out with all kinds of people long enough to tell you that all families have really weird things. So we're gonna just enjoy being in God's family and in the household of God. Alright? Alright.
Speaker 2:So here's what I want you to do. I'm gonna start naming things off and when you're you're just ready to be like, yeah, that is something that I'm ready to receive freedom from, then I want you to just stand up. So I'm gonna read them quickly, so we're not like, oh, you have debt. I'm just gonna read them quickly and you just stand up when you're ready. Ready?
Speaker 2:Alright. Anger, rage, divorce, adultery, abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, drunkenness, drug abuse, bitterness, gossip, slander, racism, family division, greed, poverty, debt, gluttony, self hatred, suicide, misogyny. I've meant to say anxiety, depression. Yeah. And anything else.
Speaker 2:We'll just do and miscellaneous. I think everyone's standing. Alright. Do you all have your your communion cups? Because we're gonna do that at the end.
Speaker 2:Can you grab those? Sorry. I need one. Chase, will you come up here with me? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Go ahead and pass it out. Anybody need the elements? Okay. Let me tell you something let me tell you something important. Forgiveness is not a feeling.
Speaker 2:Forgiveness is not a feeling. Forgiveness is obedience. Freely you receive. Freely you give. I can tell you this if feelings come later.
Speaker 2:But I can think of someone in my life that I forgive a lot. Like I don't I don't it's not my goal, although I do forgive him a lot. I I I you you you don't like you're not one and done. If you have relationship with people, you're probably gonna just be forgiving your whole life. That's why Jesus said, our daily prayer is forgive us our debts as we forgive.
Speaker 2:It's just it's forgiveness is the air we breathe as Christians. It's just what you do. It's what you do. It doesn't come from I don't feel like it or I don't know if I can. You can because he did.
Speaker 2:And if the perfect lamb of God can do it, you can just say yes to it. And and here's the thing guys, vengeance is the Lord's. Vengeance is the Lord's. And if there's if there's a
Speaker 3:if there's something that needs to happen with someone who hurt you or wronged
Speaker 2:you or you saw wrong someone else, I promise you, our God don't mess around. He's He will take care of things. But it's not your job. It is not your job. Alright.
Speaker 2:So we're gonna before we take this, so this will be the last thing we do, and I'm gonna have Chase pray with me. But but but and then we're gonna just worship. Okay. So first, you got your thing? You're thinking everything?
Speaker 2:Okay. So any of you who made an inner vow. So we we're just gonna say this, Lord, I repent Of the vow I made. Of the vow I said in my heart. When I said then you just need to whisper that.
Speaker 2:What is that? I will never. I would never. I am not. I will not.
Speaker 2:I I Whatever that is. Just actually say it. Whisper it. No one listen to anyone else. I repent of that vow, Lord.
Speaker 2:I'll never And Lord, I repent. Now say this, I repent for judging that person. Leave judgment to you. Repent of my pride. And I say, need you.
Speaker 2:Holy spirit. And I need the blood of the lamb. Okay. So that was your first one. Good job.

Speaker 2:I choose to forgive. Sometimes we just forgive by faith. Okay. Say that. Say, I release them to you.
Speaker 2:And I bless them today. In Jesus' name. Now we're gonna step in. Okay? We're gonna step in.
Speaker 2:We're gonna come up under into the father's household where the blood has been applied. And we're going to leave behind. I think that's why they had belts around their waist and shoes on their feet. They're like, not only am I breaking free, I'm out of here. I'm leaving this behind.
Speaker 2:I am leaving behind this death, the wages of sin in my family that require death. I'm leaving that behind and I'm going to step in to freedom. So we're gonna pray. Would you grab a grab a mic? And then we're gonna worship.
Speaker 2:Good? I'm gonna pray for the body and then you do the blood. Hold up the body.
Speaker 3:Jesus, you are the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. You've chose each one of us in the beloved. Before we were ever a thought, you chose us. Thank you, Lord, that you willingly gave up your life, Lord Jesus. Nobody took it from you.
Speaker 3:Even when you surrendered your spirit, Lord, no no angel came and took you. You said, into your hands, I commit my spirit. Jesus, we acknowledge you as our Passover lamb, as our precious lamb. Not just the one that covers the masses, but the one that's in my house. The precious lamb of God.
Speaker 3:The one that I know well. And Lord, I'm praying for every heart standing right now. I'm praying for the fullness of what you paid for, Lord. May you lamb of God receive the reward of your suffering in a free whole people tonight. We thank you for your body that was broken for us, that was beaten and bruised and given up so that we would not experience death.
Speaker 3:And so we receive it Lord over our household. Just say I receive it over my household. In Jesus' name, just take the body when you're ready.
