``This is the transmission, low I am with you always. The bad news is, no go, no low. The good news is if you're willing today to say, here I am, Lord, send me, then low, I am with you. And that means that the shifting power of God, the Holy Spirit's great power will fuel us to do things we could never do before and to witness the miraculous in our city.

He has all authority. Our role is to submit into his lordship. Jesus begins not with a request, but with a declaration of his sovereignty. All authority is given to me. My level, our level, friends, our level of submission to his call and his lordship is equal to our level of success in the world that's out there. First is our submission. First is our yes.

I said, one drop of what? He said, that man is worth one drop of blood from the cross of Jesus Christ, just like you, just like you, just like you, just like everyone else. Our worth is in Christ, and he paid it all, sacrificed, gave his life, shed that blood that we might be set free, and we might know there is a god who has a son whose name is Jesus.

Don't be afraid. Don't let them lie to you. Don't let them tell you that you can't talk about him. Don't let it happen. It's not true. The truth is you're here today because there is a God who has a son whose name is Jesus who died for you. And he's worthy of people knowing that. And I assure you that if you speak for him, he will speak for you. [01:03:28] (29 seconds)  #SpeakBoldlyForJesus Download clip

The why behind the go, Jesus prayed that we would be one just as he and the father are one. Jesus said all. He said every. He said, I pray also for those who believe in me through their message that all of them may be one. Father, just as you are in me and I'm in you, may they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. [00:58:16] (23 seconds)  #PrayForUnity Download clip

If we plan to go out there solely on the actual fact that they're worth it, the lost that are out there, that they're worth it. Pick day's worth it. These people are worth it. They're worth it. They're they're they're worthy of our yes, and our commitment, and our time, but I found that if I go out just based on their worth of receiving, in time I become frustrated, challenged, and maybe the fruit of my effort only lasts in a generation.

I've also found that in this compelling drive to go, if I look at my own merits, own talents, my own treasure, my own ability, and I go out in that worth and that value, I found very quickly that I become frustrated, challenged, and the fruit of my efforts are often short lived and last within a generation. The reason that we go is because Jesus is worthy. [00:46:34] (37 seconds)  #GoBecauseJesusIsWorthy Download clip

First is our submission. First is our yes. Obedience trumps gifts and talents every day in the kingdom of God. From our submission is our commission. We're called to make disciples of all nations. He actually trusts us in that work. Oftentimes, I'll say, why? Help. That's part of the process. Do you believe that you alone are capable of raising a generation in this nation that knows their God, is living in righteousness, peace, and joy?
