Revival Sunday W/ Marcus Criner

He say, come this morning because I have great and mighty things to show you. And if you keep it in your mind, you will miss it. If you keep it under the comfortable umbrella of your family and of your finances and of your comfortable zone, you will miss the miraculous. But God says, I have more for you, and this is a narrow path. It's a narrow path. It's narrow. It's uncomfortable, and sometimes it's gonna feel like you're the only one on that path. But the truth is is you're not alone because he said I would never leave you nor forsake you. And God has a way that when you just step into your yes, God has a way to finding things to get to you, people that'll get to you. Come on. Conversations that'll get to you, finances that'll get to you, favor that will get to you. [01:35:22] (44 seconds)  #StepIntoYourYes

I can't say that it's all gonna make sense in your mind. I can't say that your family is gonna fully understand it. Hear my heart. I'm not ever saying being foolish and being unwise and being stupid, but I am saying that when you say yes to him, everything will work out if you keep your eyes on him. It'll work out. Maybe not in your timing, but things that I'm walking in today, I wanted twenty years ago, but it wasn't the time because I wasn't ready. I thought I was ready. In my mind, I thought I was ready. I felt like I was in my prime. I'm ready to go, but I was still needing preparation. I still needed to get planted. I needed to get submitted, and I still am, by the way.

I would rather I don't wanna miss god, but I would rather fall flat on my face trying to follow him than just stay safe. Does that make sense? Like, I don't wanna miss him, but I would rather like, god, I'm trying. Come on. I'm walking. I'm trying to follow you. I believe he honors that. And if we would just move forward, come on. He will help us. And sometimes as we move forward, he might say, I'll go this way. Okay. At least I'm moving. I'm trying. I'm moving. I'm not gonna play it safe and just say, god, move in my life. God, I'm walking. And I ask you to direct my steps, be a lamp unto my feet. Come on. As the bible says, highlight into my path. [01:41:37] (38 seconds)  #ChooseFaithOverComfort

And if more musicians and singers would quit trying to become somebody and realize that you already are somebody in Christ, that you don't have to get discovered because you already are. People don't need me. They don't need you. They need him. And it's not the gift that breaks the yoke. As Isaiah says, it says, it's the anointing that breaks the yoke. So, my heart this morning is just the flow with the anointing. I've got about 14 different sermons that I have kinda brewing. [00:45:44] (33 seconds)  #AnointingOverFame

Thank god he doesn't just say, man, it's bad out there. Religion will just say, you know, it's bad out there and whoo, you know, Mike, it'll just get better when you get to heaven. That's not the gospel. Religion will say, you know, it'll all get better when you get to heaven but guys, it can get better today. Because as heaven, you know, what what did Jesus say? Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I'm not saying you won't have trials and tribulations. The Bible's very clear about that but he also said, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. Amen. [01:05:09] (34 seconds)  #HeavenOnEarthToday

We know that guys, I'm not here to say that he's coming back tomorrow but I am here to let you know he's coming back soon. Guys, and I'm not trying to scare you because I've been told this since I've been a little kid. We've all heard this. Jesus is coming back. Right? And you're like, please wait till I get married. Be honest. Lord, please wait until after my wedding night. It's okay. We've all thought that. I did. But he's coming back. Guys, he's coming back. Not to be scared but we we the Bible does declare that we should look up for our redemption is drawing not which means that in this season of life, we can't just do everything anymore. We can't just go everywhere. We gotta say, lord, what is it that you want me to do? Help me be wise with my life. [01:03:58] (46 seconds)  #LiveReadyForJesus

As Hebrews fourteen four thirteen says, for the word of god is alive, living, active, sharper than any two edged sword. It pierces between joint and marrow, and it judges even the intentions of the heart. As Jesus was preaching, it wasn't just words. It was cutting this dude to the core. He was like, oh my gosh. This guy is getting in my business. Have you been there? When someone's preaching or God's dealing, it's like it's getting in your business. I was there. God was in my business and telling me to get out of this corporate world and to follow him. He was getting in my business, and I could feel it. [01:26:31] (32 seconds)  #WordThatCuts

But that is the life god has called us to live. A life of faith that god, if you don't come through because I don't wanna just make my life comfortable because if you live, if you strive to be comfortable, you will miss the will of god for your life. I'm not saying we need to be foolish. That's not my intention But wisdom is following the lord. And your mind is gonna freak out. Your mind is gonna scream at you. You're gonna have family members that feel like it is the will of god for their life to tell you how you're wrong. Amen. That's why you gotta be careful, Joseph, not to share your dreams with everyone. I [01:10:05] (39 seconds)  #CourageToFollowCall
