Stop, Drop, and Roll: Trusting God in Challenges

by SeedsTV Seeds of Greatness Bible Church
on Nov 05, 2023

Hi Seeds, your chatbot for this sermon is being created and we'll email you at joe.simon.facebook@gmail.com when it's ready

In the name of Jesus, we will be victorious. We will be victorious. We will be victorious in the name of Jesus. We will be victorious.

We came to worship in the morning. If you're watching us online, we welcome you and all of our online viewers who are here today. Come on, let's celebrate the Lord today. Come on, we came to praise His name. Let the name of Jesus be glorified today. Your holy name will be praised now and forever. Let's come down and praise God. Guys, when we praise God, come down now and forever together. We are here, and we're going to praise Him, and we're going to worship Him.

Hey, come on, let's put our hands together and praise Him forever. Nobody loves me like Jesus, who created the mountains. Nobody like Jesus, we pray for Jesus. Oh yeah, answers says Hallelujah. It's not about us, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh, we worship You, Father. We want to be Father. I'm not gonna wait till I feel Him; I step on this word, we stand on this word. We're not moved by situations; we're not moved by circumstances. We worship You simply because of who He is; we worship Him simply because He exists.

Hallelujah, glory, glory, glory, glory. Glory, glory, glory. I'll be worshiping You, Father, as the deer pants for the water, so my soul, our very soul, our very soul longs for You. I'm gonna need your help; I'm gonna need your help on this next one. Everybody who's watching all around, we're gonna need your help this morning. I don't care if you're in education; I don't care if you're in your family room. Come on, we need you to stand up and lift up the name of Jesus. Come on, hallelujah. This morning, foreign hallelujah.

Can you sense the glory of God in His voice this morning? I said, can you sense the glory and the presence of God in this place this morning? Hallelujah, it's glory in this place this morning, and I want you to know today that you've not just stepped into another service, but you've stepped into the presence of God.

And I heard the Spirit of God say that in the name of Jesus, we will be victorious. We will be victorious. We will be victorious in the name of Jesus. In the next 30 days, God is going to restore things that have been taken or stolen from you. This is a season of restoration for your house, and somebody shall restore. Give God the biggest shout of praise and turn to your neighbor and tell them it's not over. We serve a God of restoration, and He's not only going to restore some things, but He's going to fix some things. He is a fixer, and He knows how to fix what has been broken. Give Him praise, glory, and honor and thanksgiving. Hallelujah! The Savior is wonderful.

Turn to somebody and let them know that God is wonderful, omnipotent, and all-powerful. He's going to turn some things around, and He's going to restore it to its original intent. Believe that in the next 30 days, things you've been believing for are going to be restored with great scores. When something is restored, it's brought back to its original intent.

That's what I'm looking for and the things that I believe in more. Shouted one at one more store. Man, amen, we're in agreement, right? Amen. Well, God bless you. Sit down; we're gonna have a good time. We're leaving here changed by the word of God and the power of God. Amen, amen, amen, amen, yes! Hallelujah. Our God is faithful; we serve a faithful God. Sometimes the enemy tries to wear us down, try to make us give up. We're not giving up, are we? Our miracle is on the way. Amen, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Do you believe that this morning? Yes! You know, when you said something that really kind of triggered, when you think of restoring, you bring something back to its original purpose. And as I'm sitting there, I thought about what God said through the prophet Isaiah. He said, "The children that you've given me are for signs and wonders." That's the original intent for your children. Now, I know they might not be there right now, but when God brings your children back, when God brings your children back to their original intent, He's going to use them for signs and wonders.

I know it might not look like it right now; it might not seem like it right now, but He's going to bring them back to their original intent that they were born for signs and wonders in the name of Jesus. Somebody give Him praise and glory. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Listen up, listen up, listen up. I don't know who this is for today, but bringing your children back to their original intent. They were born a girl; they were born a boy. That's right, that's right, that's right. Their original intent: restoration, restoration. Restoration in every aspect of it. We serve a God of miracles, and it's not going to take Him a long time to do it. They're going to go to sleep at night and wake up with a totally different mindset because of the miracle-working power of God. He's not going to take a long time to do it.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to God. I know you're excited, but listen to what the Spirit of God is saying. Listen to what the Spirit of the original intent, the original music. Don't get hung up. Listen to what the Spirit of God is saying this morning. The original restoration has come into our households; the original operation is coming to our fair. Restoration is coming to our jobs, our churches. Amen, amen, the original intent, the original intent.

Yeah, the scripture says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he's old, he won't depart." Sometimes they depart when they're young, but they're coming back. The scripture says, I think it's Isaiah chapter 8, around verse 6. Prophet Isaiah said, "I and the children that the Lord hath given me." God gave you those children. He said, "I and the children that the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders." The devil has perverted it and used it as a sign and a wonder to the world, but God is going to turn it and use it as a sign and wonder for the kingdom of God.

All can be seated.

Welcome to Family and Friends Day at Seeds of Greatness! We're so glad you're here. We've got a whole time just planned for you. You're going to get the word; you're going to get filled up spiritually, then you're going to get some natural food. Our guys have been out there since five o'clock this morning; they started yesterday setting everything up. So y'all going to be out there for a little while; be patient, okay? Be patient when you go out there. Our whole events team has just put a lot into this, and we're just so excited that you're all here today.

We used to do this in November, and we decided to switch it up to the summertime for a while. We may switch back again, but we're just so glad you're here. So glad! Welcome to Seeds of Greatness. Those of you who are viewing online, we welcome you as well.

Do we have, I know we do, first-timers? Who's here for the first time? If you don't mind standing, we got [Applause]. Awesome, awesome. So I'm gonna ask you to do something. I'm going to ask you to do something, and those of you who are in the balcony, if you could keep standing for a moment, but those of you who are here, we got something special for you. For the first-timers, you are our VIP guests today.

Okay, so when you go outside to get food or you go ride the mechanical bull, you get to go first. You get to go to the front of the line, all right? [Applause] Hey, you know, we were in Florida not too long ago, and we went to Disney, took our grandkids, and they had this thing called Speedline, yeah, fast pass. Fast pass means you get there a lot faster than other people. Well, this is what these red bands are like; it's like being at Disney World. You get a fast pass through the food; you get a fast pass to everything.

And listen, all you got to do is when you walk into school, that's all you got to do, all right? That's all you got to do. Our guests are our VIP guests today, all right? So those of you on the floor, if you could just come down real quick, it would be easier. Y'all can be seated.

Thank you, Father! Hallelujah! If you receive it, shout, "I receive it!" Love your children no matter what they're doing. Your kids deserve your unconditional love no matter what they've done. You've said it all; I'm sure you have said it all right. You don't need to say no more; just show them love. Let them know when they come home they're coming to a place where they receive unconditional love.

Keep your mouth shut now. If you're like me, you probably have said everything you should say, and sometimes it's alienated your kids. Now it's time to keep your mouth shut and show love and show support. They know what you stand for, right? They know what you believe. Show them love, show them love, all right? That's what restoration does; somebody give Him praise for that! Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Come get your bands! Those of you who are standing, make sure you're a first-timer because if you hold them, we're gonna set you back down because you tried to get a fast pass. Get your fast pass, the first-timers, all right? Hey, make sure they are first-timers because I know some of them might be some people that you know. So glad you're here; thank you for choosing Seeds today on this Fourth of July weekend. So glad you chose Seeds of Greatness.

As they're coming to get their fast pass, I want to let our online guests know that we're doing a special meet and greet at 12:30 right here. At 12:30, for those of you who have been watching online and have never attended a service in person, we want to meet you. Okay, so they'll be out there doing stuff; we want to meet you, Pastor and I, right here, and then you're going to get a fast pass.

Okay, so our online viewers who are here for the first time, at 12:30, come inside, and we want to meet you, Pastor and I, right here in the sanctuary. Okay, so let's give all of our guests a big hand that were they passed out up there. People in the balcony, did you get your fast pass? Who's passing out fast passes in the balcony? Okay, somebody is going to be keeping standing while I'm doing the announcements. No, make sure you get your fast pass; they're coming, all right?

All right, this is awesome, right? All right, we have a video we want to show you with a special announcement.

Good morning, Seeds family! I'm Nayel, and you may recognize me from greeting you with a big smile at the doors when you come into Seeds. I'm super excited to come to you today and share that we will be hosting an event for all those who are single of all ages on July 13th from 7 PM to 9 PM. This will be a fun night of fellowship where we'll be able to meet and eat. We're gonna meet, and we're definitely gonna eat. We'll also have some good music, card games, so make sure you come with your competitive hats on because we're not handing out any freebies. Any games you play and any games you win, you're gonna have to work for.

You also do not have to be a member or attend Seeds, so make sure you invite your single friends. Tell them to come on out, have a great time, enjoy good conversation, and some good eats. This is a free event; however, we will need a headcount for food and beverages. Please RSVP using the directions down below.

We heard you, and now we want to serve you, so make sure you RSVP and save the date: July 13th, 7 PM to 9 PM. Don't meet me there; beat me there!

All right, singles event on Thursday, July 13th. You don't want to miss it; you do not want to miss it. And then coming up on July 15th, we got a Saturday night and two services on Sunday. We have special services with Michael and Maria Durso out of New York City. We're really excited about it. The Saturday night service will be at 7 PM, two Sunday services. You do not want to miss this anointing.

Eddie and Faith, leaders of the Evolution youth group, have an exciting announcement! On Saturday, July 15th, they are taking the sixth, seventh, and eighth graders to Dorney Park.

Eddie and Faith also want to remind everyone that Evolution meets on every third Wednesday during Bible study in the yellow room. Lastly, they want to wish a happy birthday to everyone with a birthday in July! Having a birthday is better than not having one, so celebrate all month long! If you have an anniversary this month, wedding or otherwise, celebrate all month long!

Today we're trying to conserve a little bit of time, but make a major deposit on the inside of you with the word of God that's going to change and impact your life. When we come together on Sunday, it's like no other day of the week. We get a chance to worship the God that we serve and thank Him for everything that He's done for us. Even on your worst day, someone would love to be in your shoes. We've all got something to be thankful for.

As we receive our morning tithes and offerings, we want to show our love and appreciation for everything that God has done for us. We've come to the place that we realize that what we have in our life, we didn't do it because we're so smart. The good things that have happened for us, we didn't make it happen, but it's because of the God that we serve. Our heavenly Father has been extremely good to us, and one of the ways we show our appreciation is by giving to His work.

This church is a work of God, and our purpose is to build strong Christian families and develop leaders to leave an impact and Jesus's footprint in this community and around the world. Proverbs 11:24-25 (NLT) says, "Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything." Give freely and become wealthy - that's the message of Proverbs 11:24-25 in the New Living Translation. The Passion Translation puts it this way: generosity brings prosperity.

When we talk about prosperity, it's not just about money - it's so much bigger than that. Prosperity is having good, healthy relationships, a strong, healthy body, gainful employment, and good kids who listen to their parents. Obedience to God's word is the key to prosperity. When we give, we give out of a place of generosity, appreciation, love, and thanksgiving because God has been so good to us.

If you want to give, there is information on the screen. We want to pray over you - if everyone will please stand, we will pray over your giving. We pray for you as a child of God that God will increase you more and more, both you and your children. We pray that you will be blessed in the city, blessed in the field, and that everything your hands touch will prosper. We pray that God will not only bless you but make you a great blessing. We declare over you that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Amen.

Father, we thank You for Your grace and goodness. We thank You for the wisdom of Solomon, the courage of David, and the insight of Joseph. We thank You for being empowered by Your Spirit and for giving us the power to get wealth. We thank You for being the originator of family and for filling the need when You said it is not good for man to be alone. We are part of the first family, the family of God.

Father, we ask You today to fix families and relationships on every level. We ask You to restore and fix families today. We pray for fathers, mothers, children, and grandchildren that bridges would be built and walls would be torn down. We ask You for healing to start today in our families.

We thank You that every tongue that rises against us in judgment will be shown wrong. We thank You that no weapon, strategy, scheme, or plan known or unknown will work against us. We thank You that their hands are anointed to prosper and their minds are anointed to be creative. We thank You for creative ideas and witty inventions that flow through them.

My faith is not fragile; my faith is not weak. My faith gets stronger every time I speak. Neighbor, your faith is not fragile; your faith is not weak. Your faith gets stronger every time you speak. You're not breaking down; you're not falling apart.

Don't think it's strange; don't think it's something that's out of the ordinary because it's not. It's something that's going to happen to you, and I want to submit to you this morning that when you're going through the fire of test, stop, drop, and roll.

When things heat up and pressure is too much to handle, I'd like to submit this technique: Stop, Drop, and Roll. This was something that was brought about in 1973 as a fire safety technique taught to adults and children, emergency service personnel, and workers as a component of health and safety training to get through or escape a fire.

The Bible says in First Peter Chapter 4, verses 12 and 13, "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trials which is to try you, as though some strange thing is happening to you." So, when you're going through the fire of test, don't think it's strange or something out of the ordinary. I'm praying you don't forget this message and that you can tuck it away in your heart and carry it with you the remainder of this year. God is with you, God is for you, and God is in you. In Jesus' name, somebody give God praise and thanksgiving. Thank You, Lord, thank You, Lord.

When life gets extremely difficult and you're going through a difficult time in life, being a Christian doesn't mean that you're exempt from problems or pressure. The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:7 that the devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Just the very fact that you were born, the devil doesn't like you, and he's going to put pressure on you because you serve the God that kicked him out of heaven.

So when you go through pressure in life, don't think it's something strange. The New Living Translation says, "Dear friend, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through as if something strange is happening to you. Instead, be very glad, for all these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world."

The Passion Translation says, "Beloved friend, if life gets extremely difficult, I know that you're here today, and there are people in this room and there are people viewing online that are going through some difficult situations right now. I know you're covering it up with a smile; I know you're covering it up lifting your hands, but still, there are some extremely difficult obstacles and hurdles and issues that you're going through. He says here, with many tests, don't be bewildered as though something strange were overwhelming you. Instead, continue to rejoice, for you in a measure have shared in the suffering of the Anointed One so that you can share in the revelation of His glory and celebrate even more."

I thought about the Hebrew boys. These three young men were taken from their homeland and put in a situation that they didn't ask for, but they were forced into. Sometimes things happen in life that we didn't ask for, and we didn't even see it coming. When you're going through pressure, what does He tell you to do? Come on, it's right there; I can see it. Rejoice! When you are going through a difficult time in life, rejoice!

Three Hebrew boys were put in captivity and faced with a decision to bow down to the image that Nebuchadnezzar had built. When they refused to bow down, King Nebuchadnezzar became furious and ordered the men to put them in a fiery furnace and heat it up seven times hotter than usual. The Bible says that the temperature was over 3000 degrees, and the men who put them in were consumed. Despite the heat, the three boys refused to bow down and were thrown into the furnace bound.

Sometimes it seems like the bad is winning and the evil is advancing, while people who do the wrong thing seem to be getting good things. However, these three boys were bound for doing the right thing. Doing the right thing does not exempt us from problems, and sometimes when we do the right thing, the devil turns up the heat. We must keep doing the right thing, even when it seems like the odds are against us because the right thing will bring about the results we want in our life.

Children, we worry about our finances; we worry about our jobs; we worry about our relationships; we worry about our future; we worry about our past; we worry about our present; we worry about our reputation; we worry about our safety; we worry about our security; we worry about our success; we worry about our failures; we worry about our dreams; we worry about our goals; we worry about our purpose; we worry about our calling; we worry about our destiny; we worry about our legacy; we worry about our impact; we worry about our influence; we worry about our potential; we worry about our purpose; we worry about our calling; we worry about our destiny; we worry about our legacy; we worry about our impact; we worry about our influence; we worry about our potential.

I'm here to tell you that when you're in the hottest of a situation that seems like it's hotter than it's ever been, I want you to know who showed up for them will show up for you. Can you say Amen to that? The Bible says that when he looked in, he asked a question; he said, "Didn't we throw in three?" You talk about confidence that you don't even know how it's going to turn out, but however it's turning out, it's going to turn out for your good. Can you say Amen to that?

They said, "King, we're not careful to answer you in this matter, but we're still not going to bow down to you." And he got furious, and I love it. The Fourth Man showed up. He said, "Didn't we throw three in there?" He said there was four that showed up. Shout at your neighbor, "Stop, drop, and roll!" They were a classic example of somebody thrown in the fire: stop, drop, and roll.

So what does this fire technique have for us? Number one, stop worrying. Turn to your neighbor and say it very emphatically, "Stop worrying!" Worry creates stress. Eighty-three percent of U.S. workers suffer from work-related stress, and seventy-six percent of workers report that workplace stress affects their daily life.

We worry about our health, our children, our finances, our jobs, our relationships, our future, our past, our present, our reputation, our safety, our security, our success, our failures, our dreams, our goals, our purpose, our calling, our destiny, our legacy, our impact, our influence, our potential.

I'm here to tell you that sometimes you might think you're in it all by yourself, but I'm here to tell you He is carrying you. That He is carrying you, and if He is carrying you, He is carrying you. The devil can't bury you. So, stop worrying. No matter what situation you are in, God is with you and will show up for you. Can you say Amen to that?

Children, we worry about our finances, our relationships. It's interesting. Do you know who has the highest level of stress? Eighteen to thirty-three-year-olds have the highest level of stress. You know who has the least amount of stress? Those seventy-five and older. It's very evident because this level of stress is causing a lot of our young people to not even finish college. Young people in their 20s having heart attacks and nervous breakdowns due to stress, living up to an expectation that is not realistic.

The highest level of stress on the scale of one to ten is eighteen to thirty-three-year-olds. Generation Z is at six on a scale of one to ten, one being low, ten being high. The Millennials are at level five on a scale of one to ten, one being low, ten being high. Generation X is at five on a scale of one to ten, one being low, ten being high. Baby boomers are at four on a scale of one to ten, one being low, ten being high. Seventy-five-year-olds are at three.

See, when you get older, stuff doesn't bother you no more. You've got to understand, young people. When I hit fifty, that was a Year of Jubilee. You know what that means? That means freedom. I don't give a care. You've got to get to a place that you don't care what people think about you because they're gonna think it anyway.

You want to change seats right now? Turn to your neighbors. I don't care what you think about me. Tell them, tell them, I don't care what you think about it. Somebody just got set free. No, you've got to get to a place that people are always going to have an opinion, and people are going to think what they want to think, and you've got to come to a place that my life I've got to live it out according to God's plan. Some people are going to be happy, and some people are not going to like it.

See, you've got to understand, child of God, that when God wants to do something significant in your life, He will bring in new people. But when the devil wants to do something significant, he will bring in people too. You've got to be able to discern which ones God sent. Everybody, God did not send into your life, even when they say, "The Lord sent me." I got to take you through TSA.

You've got to get to a place that people are always going to have an opinion, and people are going to think what they want to think, and you've got to come to a place that my life I've got to live it out according to God's plan. Worry is a form of meditation because when you meditate, you think about something over and over and over again. Worry is connected to fear. Worry is a choice. All you're doing is meditating on the negative, and I'm here to tell you that's a choice.

Worry is connected to fear. You've got to be able to discern which ones God sent. Everybody, God did not send into your life, even when they say, "The Lord sent me." I got to take you through TSA. You just, I just pulled that out of there, boy, yeah. Come on, turn to him and say, "Stop worrying."

Listen to me. Worry is a form of meditation because when you meditate, you think about something over and over and over again. Worry is a form of meditation; all you're doing is meditating on the negative, and I'm here to tell you that's a choice. I said that's a choice. Worry is connected to fear. Turn to your neighbor and say, "Stop worrying." Come on, tell them emphatically, "Stop worrying."

Stop allowing yourself to be agitated. Jesus said, "My own peace I now give and bequeath to you, not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." We have to choose to stop worrying. Don't let people agitate you. Don't let them rub you the wrong way. Stop letting little things agitate you. Speed limits are fifty; you're driving thirty; you got two lanes, go around them. Stop letting stuff agitate you.

You're not responsible for the fire in their life that was burning before you got there. Don't lose sleep wondering about this person or that person. Put your head in the wind and just ride your bike. Talk to yourself and say, "I ain't letting her bother me; I'm not gonna let them get under my skin."

We all have a responsibility to put out our own fires. People will come to us and ask us to put out their fires, but they lit themselves up. They poured gasoline on their own situation, and it blew up in their face. We can't take on so much that was never assigned to us. To stop worrying, we need to mind our own business.

We need to stop allowing ourselves to be agitated or disturbed, fearful or intimidated, or unsettled. People come to us and dump stuff on us, but we don't need to worry about it. We just need to move on. We need to drop to our knees and pray. Prayer changes things, people, and situations. When we pray, we need to boldly believe that we will receive what we asked for. If we do this, tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a Godly believer.

He said you've got to believe you've got it before you see it, and if you believe you've got it before you see it, you'll start acting like you already have it. Can you say Amen to this? Let's not just talk about prayer; let's do it. Can you say Amen to that? Prayer only works when you believe it; it only works when you believe it. The prayers of the righteous make tremendous power available.

So what was the first word? The second word? The third is roll. Roll your cares and roll your problems and roll your troubles over on the Lord. Psalms 55:2 says, "Cast the burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved." So what is He saying? You're not built to carry weight. I said you're not built to carry weight. He says roll it over on God.

The New Living Translation of Psalms 55:22 says, "Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you; He will not permit the godly to slip or to fall." The Passion Bible says, "So here's what I've learned through it all: leave all of your cares and anxieties at the feet of Jesus, and measureless grace will strengthen you." The Message Bible says, "Pile your troubles on God's shoulders; God did not make you a donkey to bear burdens you should not be carrying."

Your children, you should not be carrying; your parents, you should not be carrying; your siblings, that is not your responsibility. And some of you are wearing yourself out trying to be everybody's answer when God wants to be everybody's answer, and you have this God complex that you feel like you have to fix everybody's problem. You are not the fixer of people's problems; He is.

And the reason why your kids keep coming back is because you're not pointing them to God; they're coming back to you as their source instead of you pointing them to God as their source. Because whether you believe it or not, you are a limited resource, but He is unlimited in supplying our needs. Get rid of the God complex; you're not God; you're not a fixer of everybody's problems.

So tell people no, amen, no, no, no, no, you got to go. It's okay to help people every now and then, but even be led by the Spirit of God. Don't let people pressure you; don't let people pressure you or guilt you into helping them. Some people will guilt you, "I thought you was a Christian; don't you go to that Seeds Church?" They said to be blessed to be a blessing. Your man tried to make you feel bad asking you for money, and they got money in their pocket.

Let people guilt you into helping them. You'll be led by the Spirit of God. I said, "Brother, you feel led to help me?" "No, I don't; the Lord's been speaking to you; He said nothing to me yet." Oh really? Because people will play you, man; you got cons, and you got people.

Sometimes people need to be taught to do it on their own. You don't have to help everyone all the time. You can have a good heart and still tell people no. Don't create a mess and then get mad at me for not helping you to clean it up. If you asked me before you started the drama, I could have saved you some time. You're not a bad person because you don't help people; you're not a bad person because you tell people no, and you're not a bad person because you're not their ATM. Point them to God.

Jesus said this is where my peace is; this is where the peace is. We just need to stop and roll it over on God. First Peter 5:7 in the Passion Bible says, "Pour out all your worries and stress upon Him and do what?" There's a reason why He said leave them there because you know what happens? We have a tendency to go back to stuff we got delivered from, and we go to pick stuff back up again, and we try to figure out why am I going through this again? Because you were delivered.

God wants us to be carefree, and the only way we can do that is according to Romans 12:2, "Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Today is a big day for us, and the most important thing is to make sure our souls are secure concerning eternity. We don't get to Heaven by being good or coming to church, but by choosing Heaven as our home.

The Bible says in Romans 10 that if we believe in our hearts and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, we will be saved. I'm not here to embarrass anyone, but this is a very important decision that we have to make. I want to lead everyone in a simple prayer, and after we pray, we need to get into a Bible-believing church where we can be fed the Word of God and grow spiritually.

Father God in Heaven, I believe You sent Your Son Jesus to die for me, and on the third day, He was raised up by the glory of God. I need a Savior, so I ask You today to forgive me of my sins. I repent and ask You to come into my life, come into my heart, and be my Savior and Lord from this day forward. I commit myself to live for You and to serve You all the days of my life. Satan, I renounce you. You no longer have control over me. I belong to God. I'm a child of God. Take Your hands off of God's property in Jesus' name.

Brother and sister, you prayed that prayer. You are now born again. Let's give God grace [Applause]. Oh, I know we can do better than that [Applause].

Our elders are here, and I'm going to ask them to come up quickly to the altar. These men and women will be here after the service is over. They will pray with you and agree with you if you have a need in your life that you want someone to add their faith and agreement with you. They will be here after the service is over. I promise you we will serve you, save you a burger and a hot dog so you don't have to feel like you're going to lose out.

But if you want prayer, if you want someone to agree with you, if you want the infilling of the Holy Spirit, these men and women will pray with you so that you receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

So they will be here after the service is over. I'm going to ask you; we're going to dismiss in sections so that there won't be a bottleneck at the door. Let me pray over you that my wife has some further instructions for you. You can be seated for just a moment.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray over Your people, those that are viewing online, those that are in the sanctuary, the balcony, the floor, the fellowship hall. Father, I declare the 91st Psalm over them, that because they dwell in the secret place of the Most High and under the shadow of the Almighty do they abide. No evil shall befall them, and neither shall any plague come near their dwelling.

Father, we call each and every person here under the sound of my voice, Father, we call them blessed and highly favored. We declare the 23rd Psalm over them, that Father, You are their Shepherd, and Father, You meet their needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Father, we call them blessed, and we honor You in Jesus' name. Give God praise and thanksgiving. Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Let's give our pastor a hand. That was a great message, awesome, something easy to remember: Stop, drop, and roll. Stop worrying, drop to your knees, and roll the care of that over on the Lord.

I heard a psychologist say recently, "You can care about something without carrying it." Amen, amen. So I want to give you some instructions on our dismissal. Thank you so much to those of you who are watching live online. We want to remind our live stream viewers that if this is your first time in the house, we want to see you at 12:30 in the sanctuary. You can cut the live stream at this time. We want to do this in order and operate with integrity. Thank you. Let's give all of our live stream guests a big hand. Amen.
