Sandals Church Podcast

The Gospels are full of interesting stories where people encounter Jesus and are profoundly changed. The famous story of The Woman At The Well in The Gospel of John chapter 4 details the story of a woman with baggage and deep relational hurt who encounters Jesus. The story shows how Jesus is able to get to the heart of matters when we encounter him.

Hi guys welcome to Sandals Church this is our last week in the she her series have you guys enjoyed it yes man I just I just want to thank you for being a church that really really cares about God's Word and is willing to wrestle through controversial issues where churches disagree and I think that's what we've done as a church but we've honored God and we're gonna just close this out today I believe with a word for you so this is Chanel my friend would you please stand as she reads God's Word and praise over this message all right today we're reading from John 4 1 through 10 it says Jesus knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John though Jesus himself didn't baptize them his disciples did so he left Judea and returned to Galilee he had to go through Samaria on the way eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sykar near the field that Jacob gave to Son Joseph Jacob's well was there and Jesus tired from the long walk sat weirdly beside the well about noon time soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water and Jesus said to her please give me a drink he was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food the woman was surprised for Jews refused to have anything to do with Samaritans she said to Jesus you are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman why are you asking me for a drink Jesus replied if you only knew the gift that God has for you and who you are speaking to you would ask me and I would give you living water let's pray Lord Jesus we thank you for today thank you for your word and how you use it to reveal yourself to us may we open our eyes to see who you truly are and the living water that you freely give to us we pray this in your holy name amen amen thank you bless you grab a seat so I want to talk today about how Jesus can heal your deepest wounds there are some of you today that are carrying wounds that you've carried since childhood you have carried since some point in your adulthood wounds from friends wounds from family and I want to apologize wounds from the church and I want to talk today about how Jesus wants to heal those wounds these this could be a wound that you've never even shared you've never shared with your spouse you've never shared with your friends you've never shared with your family but I want you to know that Jesus sees that wound no matter how hard you try to hide it no matter how much you try to pretend it isn't real he sees that and we worship a Savior who doesn't just save our souls but he heals our wounds and if you're going to change today he's going to invite you to be real so number one on your outlines I want you to remember this Jesus heals me with his words this entire scene with the Samaritan woman begins with an awkward conversation if you're joining us in church for the first time there's going to be some things that are awkward there's going to be some things that you understand there's going to be some things you don't understand there's going to be some things that are clear and there's going to be some things that are confusing I want you to know that Jesus speaks in all of that in all of that in John 4 7 through 9 soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water right she's gonna get coffee this is coffee with Jesus and Jesus said to her please give me a drink and I want to stop there many of us miss this the number one reason people don't want Jesus is they're afraid of what he'll ask for you see as Christians we think people come to the church to get people don't come to the church because they're afraid to give and I want you to know today that if you're ready to give your life to Jesus he's ready to heal you but you have to give something please give me a drink Jesus says he was alone at the time because his disciples they'd gone into the village to buy some food and the woman was surprised and let me tell you you will be surprised the first time you hear Jesus speak I was talking with a woman in our church who's gay and she's given her life to Christ and I remember when she first started coming to Sandals church she came with her wife they were married and she would mad dog me every single week at church and she didn't think that I saw it but I saw it I saw I felt it and I asked her I said when did you begin to consider Christianity and she said something changed she said when I first came I just came from my kids I was just here to be with them and then all of a sudden as you were talking I started listening to this hearing and then she said one day I was in a friend's home and I heard this voice you need to leave this house I have not called you to this I'm calling you to something else she didn't know what it was I said was it a real voice she said it was a real voice it was a real voice it was the voice of God I want you to hear me today I don't know what you're living I don't know what you're in but God has not called you to this he's calling you to something else he's not called you to live a life of trash he is calling you to be his treasure and so I don't know when it will happen I don't know how it happens sometimes I'm speaking and I hear God's word and it's hard for me not just to freak out in the middle of it but Jesus has this conversation with her she doesn't think they should have it listen to me she doesn't think Jesus is for her that's what I hear all the time oh no no no church isn't for me I'm not religious listen what she says she says I don't know why you're talking to me for Jews refused to have anything to do with Samaritan you see we all have reasons why we can hear from God she said to Jesus you're a Jew and I'm a Samaritan think about all our racial tension it's everywhere for all of humanity's history people hate each other for all kinds of reasons I'm Irish I didn't know Irish people hate each other if you're Catholic or Protestant they hate each other and I go I go how do you know you know they said your last name and your accent I was like well you all have an accent to me they hate each other in Ireland you can go to bars where they have bullets for the numbers of lives that a Catholic has killed for Protestant you go to a Protestant bar they have bullets on the outside of it for the number of Catholics that they've killed you see hatred is real because sin is real but listen to what she says she says why are you asking me for a drink I want you to ask God today why do you keep asking me why do you ask me to go to church why do I have to tithe why do I have to serve again God is not asking for things to enslave you he's asking for things to set you free I prayed with a woman in the lobby last week of Hunter Park and I said are you okay and she just just bright started to cry she said you know you you always ask me that and by always we've had two conversations in 10 years but she said you know the first time I came to this church 10 years ago you asked me if I was okay and I found out I had cancer she said I've been healed for 10 years she said but you asked me again and they said it's come back it's stage four she said my daughter's not okay and I said do you know that we worship a God who heals you know what she told me she said I know I said how do you know she said well he healed me the first time but he did something else in my life she said my sister whom I love with my whole heart has been an addict for longer than I can remember won't go to rehab won't admit that she has a problem she said do you remember that series called healer I was like oh yeah I'm writing a book about it and I hope you buy it that's like not a joke I hope you buy it she said I got my sister to come to church she said we were all the way up in the back and if you've ever been a Hunter Park you know it's like stadium seating it goes all the way in the back I mean if you're up there I can't even see you I'm not sure God can see you when you're all the way up there it's so dark but she said she said you were speaking and you called people forward to healing she said I didn't think anything of it and then I couldn't see my sister she just left and what she had done is she had heard God speak she got up she walked down and she asked for prayer for her addiction and you guys prayed and that weekend we drove her to a rehab facility she's been clean ever since and she's now a counselor for young women trying to change their lives I said what happened she said she heard God man if you're an addict today I want you to hear God he's not called you to be enslaved to a chemical he's called you to serve him and when you serve him you will be set free you'll be set free man but some of you are like oh you don't know I'm divorced I've been a rehab so many times I have so many struggles past or I every time I get on my computer all I do is I look at filth listen I understand that you're aware of how big of a sinner you are I don't think you're aware of how great a healer Jesus is one of the most unusual verses in the Bible is found in John 153 and Jesus says this to the disciples he says you are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you do you know that the words of Jesus are a bath just they're just cleansing they're just healing I get it some of you as marriage couples you've been to counseling you're on your last thread of hope the words of counselors are helpful they're wise the words of Jesus heal and cleanse you are already clean because of the words I've spoken to you do you understand that today that if you respond to Jesus you are already changed just by responding to his word that that's it it's not the magic of baptism it's not the magic of my words it's the healing power of the Messiah Jesus heals through his words can I just say that that's why we come to church every week we stop our lives we go to church to hear to hear God's word to hear it and God speaks think about that that woman's life was a drug addict for over 10 years think about that if she didn't come to church to that day where would she be today we don't know but God spoke to her that day and you're like well well okay I can I can just have a relationship with God on my own but it's when she went forward and she received prayer that she was set free and I want you to know this it takes courage for you to come forward it takes courage for our prayer warriors to stand there every week waiting for you to come forward you see there's something amazing that happens when your faith meets my faith that's what God does number two Jesus heals by pushing through my excuses anybody professional excuseer man if you wrote a book it'd be it could be called I can't and you can't too amen right that'd be your book like you'd be on Oprah you'd be on the today's show you got all these reasons why you can't change because you're looking at your life you're looking at your past you're looking at your skills Jesus said if you just asked me I would give you living water but sir you don't have a rope or a bucket you can't change me I hear this all the time I remember one of the the most profound salvation experiences I had in our church with this guy named Steve he the most awesome last name ever I don't care what your last name is it isn't studly and I met him on Taco Tuesday night at Carlos O'Brien's he was a devout atheist told me God was not real God was not real and he had all these reasons why he didn't believe in God he came to church one day when his daughter got baptized and he wept that day and he gave his heart to Jesus what's your excuse I know I know the kids are tough you can't make it you don't think the Lord Jesus is more powerful than your foyer when your tolerance get up on sunny morning just Jesus Jesus slay these devils and then for the love of Jesus don't feed him a donut and a soda or for you dropping them on for the us what do you do it oh my gosh we had past for Frato's kids over and we gave him smores they were freaking out and I was just laughing as they left their house all right good night now his daughter was tweaking man he's a marshmallows she said you don't have a rope you don't have a bucket and this well is very deep you see Jesus you don't know my family history you don't know my problems you don't know my spouse you don't know my kids you don't know my boss you don't know my jobs you don't know my financial situation you don't know how deep I struggle with anxiety you don't know you don't know Jesus the depression runs in my family tree you don't know and besides Jesus where would you get this living water right this is what the world says this why you don't invite your friends to church church is old fashioned out of touch out of date okay then why does the world hate us uniquely so much why is it us because Jesus challenges us and Jesus is real and she says do you think you're greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well how she says can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals enjoyed that's what some of you are today God you can't change me who do you think you are that's your attitude that's your attitude that's the attitude of an atheist Jesus who do you think you are you see today many of us we are all great at identifying what we don't have amen I mean if I could just interview the ladies in here what's wrong with your body you could just tell me right I mean you come up with a list two old two young two tall two fat two skinny I mean you got you got all kinds of twos that's your second book right I don't have enough money I don't have enough energy right that's what people say I don't have enough energy to go to the gym you do realize the gym gives you energy you know I don't have enough talent I hear that all the time what what what could God do with me you see you're all focused on the internet of the gifts and talents you don't have and you're failing to listen to God from heaven shouting at you about the talents you do have how about this one I don't have time I hear that all the time I don't have time you know it's time Jesus had the same amount of time you have yeah he didn't get like an extra hour and he probably could have swung it amen okay he probably could have swung it Lord dad we got to go a little longer you know like in baseball there's extra innings he's like come on pops I need an extra hour but you know can I can I just speak to the depressed and anxious you know what some of you don't have you don't have a reason what's it matter nobody cares about me nobody loves me nobody notices me what you're missing is a reason to change could you today just let Jesus show you what you can have look I don't know what you're missing in your life I don't know what what your financial situation is I don't know all your problems and issues here's what I do know if you focus on what you can have in Jesus today your life can change it can change John 4 13 and 14 Jesus replied she's got all these excuses you don't have a rope you don't have a bucket you think you're better than Jacob the Wells deep Jesus pushes right on through those excuses isn't it good to know that he cares more about you than your excuses Jesus replied anyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again let me just ask you about the amount of beers you consume and I know it's not Budweiser anymore I know you gave that up you the Lord healed you Lord healed you but Modelo is calling right I know you're so faithful I'm not drinking Budweiser just Modelo now well let me just say if beer could have solved your problems don't you think you've drank enough to find out if cigarettes and vaping could fix your anxiety wouldn't it have worked by now you see the reason we're hooked on stuff if porn could satisfy the cry for intimacy in your heart how many how many images before you give up how many man if you're if you're like me if you just if you just were successful as you think you should be then you'd be finally be happy man every time I turn around the most successful people are the most miserable you see what Jesus is saying you can drink whatever you want you can inject whatever you want you can achieve whatever you want you're not going to be happy until you get a sip of what I'm offering hey if this message has been an impact to you I would love for you to give and you can do so by going to donate.se for now let's get back into the message he said but those who drink the water that I give will never be thirsty again I want you to listen to a debrief episode that's going to drop in July and I was interviewing some of my gay friends in our church and I asked him what brought you to church and here's what they both said there was something missing we thought love could satisfy us we thought sex could satisfy us we thought a family could satisfy us but something was missing you see before Jesus fills your heart he has to show you the whole and so here's how you ignore the whole you just busy yourself like we all like to say we're more busy we're more busy than we've ever been really did you get up at 3 3rd this this morning and go get the eggs were you out there with the cow was that you this morning was that you were you fixing fence with wire was that you were so busy do you know why church traditionally was at 11 because that's how long it took people to get there seriously you had to get up and do all your chores in the morning and they moved church to 11 so you could make it so we're like that's why go to 11 45 pastor I'm working in the morning but in an amazing we just we oh I'm so tired slept on a mattress more comfortable than any human being has ever slept on until last you know 30 years I mean think about you sleep on mattresses that the most wealthy kings would dream about most of you have warm water when you take a shower all I can't get in until it's just right you get up in the morning and you have your coffee that's freshly delivered from some country you can't pronounce slice acidic and then you tell the Lord I can't make it to church because my ankle I can't I can't press I can't press on the gas I got you see right we use all kinds of excuses Jesus says if you drink the water the he offers it will become a fresh bubbling spring within them within them I mean we're also tired sometimes I you know I sit down with our staff especially the younger ones they're drinking these drinks is and I mean the label is accurate it says monster on it it's it's what it says you're swallowing a monster or a red bull that's what's going inside of you maybe just give Jesus a try he says it becomes a fresh bubbling spring within them giving them eternal life do you know why you don't feel like you have time because you're running out of time you're running out of time a couple weeks ago one of my one of my good friends is a pastor 40 years old drop dead bam drop dead and I was talking with my my friends we love this guy pastor J is just a great pastor I tried to hire him many times he told me no every time he was too good for us I love Jay but he went home to be with the Lord but here's the thing is Jay was ready Jay was ready he's ready are you ready? number three Jesus heals by revealing my greatest failures and I want to I want to really hone in on this because there's a difference between Jesus and the devil do you know what the devil does the devil reminds you of your greatest failures right the devil's got your top ten list and he just keeps playing I'm over and over and over again Jesus only has to reveal you your sin once if you confess it do you know that if you confess a sin twice to Jesus do you know what he's going to say to you what's in because when you confess it it's gone it doesn't exist anymore you see God has an ability we don't have he can forget wouldn't that be amazing in marriage what fight I don't I don't remember you know we we forgive each other and it's just God it's God and somebody like we'll pass around a professional remember so let me say this Jesus doesn't want to remind you of this stuff you've already confessed but he does want to reveal the stuff you're bearing man um the night before I wrote this sermon I had a terrible nightmare have any of you guys ever had a nightmare like you totally messed up your whole life like I had I had man I had a nightmare and I think it's because the the Hillsong documentaries come out and it's all about mega church pastors and you know about how like we're all like super rich which I wish was true because then I would be rich um but you know I really bothered me and you know you know some of the pastors blooped their lives having multiple affairs and I had a dream that's what I did so and it was none of the fun part it was all the aftermath the dream was like we just fast-forwarded to you're terrible right that was my dream and um I remember sitting on the beach in my dream and and Tammy sitting next to me and we're divorced now you guys fired me um and my kids won't talk to me and my wife says right before I wake up she goes you're just so dumb now she didn't really say that it was a dream and I remember I woke up and have you ever had this oh thank god that was a dream oh thank god and then I just thought well why am I dreaming about that and I wasn't right it was so bad I had to call some of our pastors to pray over me I was like man this is this is really messed me up um and I truly believe this that was the devil trying to scare me because Jesus healed us by by revealing and that's not my failure and some of you the devil he's trying to keep you from the Lord he's trying to scare you he's trying to he's trying to mess with you and he messed with me I was messed up and I didn't even do it say that again my wife's listening I didn't even do it right was real but if you if you want to get healed today you got to let Jesus reveal please sir the woman said give me this water and this is the thing who wants to go to hell right they always got those signs you're going to hell that that's not that's not that's not the issue the issue is do you want to be in God's house for the rest of your life can you imagine if you got married to somebody and their reason was I don't want to be homeless I mean that's love right that's like commitment yeah I couldn't do this reading anymore so I married you and we got all these people today that are like yeah I don't want to go to hell I want to go to heaven so I'm going to say these words so I get my get out of hell free card let me tell you what hell is it's exile it's exile you are out of the garden you are not in my house God says you're not in my house and people always get upset with that well why won't God let me and would you just let somebody live with you forever because they thought you should let them so why would God allow you know who God allows in his home forever his family that's who gets in his family she says she says give me this water then I'll never be thirsty again and I would have to come here to get this stupid water and Jesus says we'll go and get your husband oh this is about right birdie to get real she says I don't have a husband the woman replied and Jesus said you're right you don't have a husband for you have had five husbands and you aren't even married to the man you're living with now he said you certainly spoke the truth some of you are so afraid to confess to God what he already knows you've done like I don't know if you know this but camouflage does not work Adam and Eve man they they invented camouflage they had fig leaves you know they were hiding from the Lord he found them he found them and some of you are so convinced listen you you can hide your sin from me you can fake me out man I have been faked out by the best hypocritical Christians amen you can't fake God out you can't fake God out now listen if you want to get real excuse me if you want to heal you got to get real that that that's the truth next Jesus heals me by saving me from religious nonsense man some of you I love you but you bring your religious nonsense when you come to sandals you bring it how can we don't have crosses in all our buildings I mean 150 years ago you wouldn't have seen crosses on any American buildings seriously go go to go to grave yards in Boston you know what's on top of the grave yards not crosses this little heads with hands through really creepy do you know what that symbolizes the resurrection they're like almost no almost no almost it's so creepy but some of you guys you know like look man I praise God for whatever your last church did right but are you in your last church oh you're oh you're here okay well let us try to figure this out because one of the things we're trying to get rid of here at sandals church is the religious nonsense it's not all nonsense but a lot of it is a lot of it is so Jesus goes right at it right right at it man you're right you don't have a husband you've had five and you're living with the dude right now sir the woman said you must be a prophet so tell me why is it that Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship here's what happens God gets real she wants to get in a theological argument she's on Twitter she's on Facebook women can't preach and here's why Matt Brown's gone woke I mean what's wrong with us is Christians you know what's so in posted on my Instagram this week you misspelled God and I looked at it and I put a lower case G okay we'll change it are we all good now God in heavens like oh thank God passed her Maddie whoo he got my G right he got my G and what is wrong with you guys not you other people she said where does she wants to get into a theological argument that's what we do to avoid the conviction of Jesus we're all fighting against each other as Christians no one cares your neighbor doesn't care whether a man preaches or a woman preaches you know what they need to hear the gospel that's what they need to hear well I just think Sandal's church has lost it we lost it a long time ago right she says we Samaritans we claim here it's out in out garrison well I'm reformed well I'm Catholic well I'm Lutheran why don't care have you met Jesus have you met Jesus man oh my gosh my own denomination my Southern Baptist denomination with 5,000 people 5,000 people stand give their lives to Christ last Easter you want to know what I heard crickets we had a woman preach we got all kinds of people concerned well what is God concerned about God says that there's a party in heaven every time one person gives their life to Christ we have 5,000 nothing we had one woman preach oh I got to write an article hmm well what about the 5,000 come on they don't matter to you but they matter to God believe me dear woman the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the father on this mountain or in Jerusalem man look theology matters but it's not the only thing that matters we got all these soup or smart Christian students with their Bible it's not even it's a suitcase and they're just carrying it around listen to me you can know Hebrew and not know him you can know Greek and not know God see those were G's man he says use some erasons know very little about the one that you worship while we Jews know all about him he says for salvation comes through the Jews he says but the time is coming and indeed it's here now when true worshipers will worship the father in spirit and in truth listen to me my little truth tellers I love you where's the spirit in your life and my spiritual people I'm just spiritual where's the truth listen to me if you're a truth teller you got too many points if you're just a spiritual person you may not have a point do you have Jesus the father's looking for those who will worship in that way what way in spirit and in truth look I'm doing the best I can as your pastor to honor the truth of the word of God but to also understand his spirit has moved in the word of God through women and that is not negotiable it's not negotiable and you have to close one eye to read God's word to ignore that for God's spirit so those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth you need doctrine and Jesus do you have both do you have both and some of you guys are nitpicking and I don't know about this not do you have Jesus do you have a heart for Jesus because if you have a heart for Jesus you have a heart for the lost and all these all these churches with all this education and all these seminars you know who they're reaching nobody nobody and nobody cares nobody cares Jesus cares now let me say this Jesus heals in spite of his foolish followers amen oh thank God can you imagine if it was actually up to us I just would go around you're going hell you're going hell you're going hell do you know why because I stink at this Jesus heals us even from his foolish followers just then his disciples come back remember those guys who are they were shocked to find him talking to a woman as Jesus forgotten the doctrine of spiritual headship as Jesus forgotten that Eve ate the apple Jesus do I need to remind you of the words you wrote but none of them had the nerve to ask but boy they tweet about it later amen I'll put that on Facebook none of them had the nerve to ask what do you want with her because she and her matters why are you why are you talking to her why are you talking to her the woman left the jar beside the well and ran back to the village telling everyone come and see the man who told me everything I ever did do you want to know who started the first church in her town she did she not he she ladies I don't know what's happening in your life I don't know about your failures I don't know about your brokenness but I want you to hear this a woman with a disastrous personal life led almost her entire village to eternal life man God can make your brokenness beautiful if you just give it to him but here's the thing here's the most pregnant verse in this entire story that's missed by so many people John 412 do you think you're greater than a ancestor Jacob who gave us as well who's Jacob he's a womanizer she had five husbands Jacob had four wives four wives his first wife Leah he didn't even love her he'd have sex with her but he didn't love her and Leah knew her entire life Jacob didn't love her no matter how many sons she gave him Jacob always had an eye for Rachel are you greater than Jacob are you greater than Jacob yes because Jacob did not love a broken woman but Jesus does Jesus does some of you miss this are you greater than our father Jacob because if there's one thing wrong Leah was cross-eyed or whatever we don't know because her name means something with the eyes sorry the order God is rough and real who is Jacob not Jesus some of you read your Bible like oh my gosh what's this guy's problem who is Abraham not Jesus he pimped his wife out twice twice I've never even done that once to Tammy who is Isaac not Jesus you read these characters in the Bible who is David oh my god he killed somebody oh my god he slept with that Shiva oh my god who is David not Jesus who is Solomon that guy had a porn addiction he was a sex addict who is Solomon not Jesus who is the Christian who hurt you not Jesus not Jesus stop with your excuses all the church sucks yeah it's not Jesus it's not Jesus who am I not Jesus not Jesus so who is Jesus he's the only one who's always loved you he's the only one who died for you do you know how many Americans today how many people in the world today don't know their love and don't know that Jesus died for them and do you know why they don't know you never told them I'm just going to church again why I don't know I just kind of like it no you're going to honor the one who died for you Jesus is the only one who can save you he's the only one he's the only one who can heal you and listen to me he's the only one who can unleash you you see when we read this story and we look at this woman all we see is failure you ever wonder why Jesus talked with her do you think it was just a random accident do you think he just sent the disciples away for no reason whatsoever or do you think he's the son of god and he has a plan listen to me ladies he picked her he identified her because he knew she was not her failures he could see her future that's why he met her that's why he spoke to her and that's why he sent her into a village where she changed the life of thousands that's why he used the woman to spread the gospel and share the good news because to Jesus that is the most important thing let me ask you today what what's keeping you from being unleashed I got a feeling it's unforgiveness for some of you it's pride for some of you it's pain look you you can watch this message and you can be inspired but you will not be changed until you pray about this and you say god take this from me even if you're watching online type in right now man I need I need prayer and if you're at a campus you need to come forward you need to come forward some of you are married let me just say this if you could have fixed it it would be fixed if you're an addict if you could have solved this it'd be solved let me tell you say if you're battling anxiety if the hospital could have just given you a pill to make it would have gone away why not try Jesus he has bubbling water that springs from within let's give him a shot let's give him a chance and let's pray today and say god you've revealed something in me yeah I'm at the well I'm acting like nothing bothers me I'm just out here in the sun by myself but what I'm doing is I'm trying to run away from my pain and isn't it amazing when she came to Jesus the very people who had rejected her when she gave the message of Jesus or the very people that received her that's the power of Jesus he can take those who have heard us and he can use them to help heal us that's the power of Jesus I want to challenge you today is there something that you need to pray about we're going to have our our ministers forward at our campuses our prayer warriors and they're ready to pray for you I'm going to pray right now that if there's something that god needs to reveal some sin some darkness something that's wrong that he would reveal that to you and you would run forward for prayer and you would say take this away in Jesus name whether it's a miracle whether it's a confession for some of you the Lord is spoken today and today is the day of salvation Jesus has called you and you need to come forward and say I need to be saved I need to be a Christian let's pray together heavenly Father we pray in the mighty powerful name of Jesus that you would send your Holy Spirit upon us that it would convict us Lord so many of us in here are carrying such heavy weights and such heavy sin Lord we are drowning trying to carry this Lord I just pray that you reveal to us what it is and that we would we would release it to you in Jesus name we would confess it to you in Jesus name and Lord I pray that you would heal us and for those of us who need to come forward for prayer I pray that we would do that in Jesus name Lord we invite you to heal our deepest wounds we pray this in Jesus name amen
