Well, family, family, let's get in it. Let's get in it. Let's get in. Just anybody love the Word as much as I do. I declare, I could stand up here sometime and just read a few chapters and sit down. The Bible is so powerful, but I'm gonna unpack it for you a little bit, Put some seasoning on it, bake it, cut it up, serve it to you. So here we go. Acts, chapter 4, verse 32. Now, the multitude of those who believed. Am I in a multitude of believers? Amen. Now the multitude of those who believed were of what? One heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things common. I want to focus on one heart today. Amen. Grab your seats. Acts 4. 32. At this point, Jesus has died, risen from the dead, ascended on high. He's sitting next to his Father in heaven, interceding for us and the gift of the Holy Ghost. The promise was delivered and they have been filled with the Holy Ghost, and it has changed them. And Peter is leading this moment, and they are of one heart and one soul. This is so critical. On Thursday night of the revival, Pastor Phil preached a powerful message to us about unity in the Spirit and how important it is for us to be in that flow and one family. We are stepping into another season. Never underestimate, spiritually what's happening. And so, yes, I've been here for a year, and yes, I said yes on day one. And we had a little, little courthouse thing going on. But there's something important about covenant in the way that it's going to be established on February 23rd. And before Pastor Torrey even told Me that he had put that date on the calendar, which was just in these last few days, that he told me I could already feel something shifting in the spirit. I was telling my close friends, I feel like something's happening. I feel like I'm being sucked into a vortex. It's like I'm being pulled into something. The spirit is shifting. And then when he told me, I was like, ah, got it. That's going to be all of us. If you're part of the movement, we're all shifting into something else. And it's important that we do it together because we are a revival movement. And I started talking to you last week about how important it is for us to be aware of what's going on in our hearts and how often it is that we are not. And in order for us to have one heart, we gotta get into our individual hearts and pull some stuff together. And so I'm gonna pick right up from where we were last week. We're gonna dive back into the deep. If you weren't here last week and you haven't heard the message, it's called walk worthy. Please take the time to listen to it. But one of the things we looked at was the heart and the fact that our hearts are like oceans. Our hearts are gardens. Yes, I believe that, obviously, but gardens live on the surface. But when that water goes into the garden, it eventually gets down into the ground. We call it groundwater. It finds its way into the rivers, and then the rivers flow into the ocean. So ultimately, in the depths of the deep, below ground space of our heart, we are an ocean in there. And there's all kinds of things swimming around in that ocean. A couple of scriptures. I gave several scriptures last week to show where the Bible brings that. I'm going to just read a couple of them today. Proverbs 20:5. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. Psalm 64, 6. They devise iniquities. They say, we have perfected a shrewd scheme, but the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. There's a verse, Isaiah 57:20. But the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. We are oceans in the depths of our heart. This is why we were told to be fishers of men, because it is for us to share the word of God in a way that captures hearts, not argues with minds. And so as a revival movement. And what does that word, revival mean? Our apostle taught us it means to bring things into divine alignment with the kingdom. And so if we're going to be out moving through the city, moving through the region, moving on around the globe, bringing divine alignment, when we see that in someone's life, it's a heart thing. It's not how well you can argue and how far you can fight and whether you read the whole Bible and the Quran and the Zoroastrian text so you can argue with them. Honey, this isn't about arguing. Nobody ever healed your broken heart with an argument. Now it never happened. So as we go to bring revival, that realignment. We are fishers of men. That means we're diving into hearts. As I showed you an image last week that the Lord gave me and that my graphic artist helped me create, can we show it again of what our hearts actually look like in its deep place? That's us. Things are happening in the deep. Fishing is happening. What will you catch? That's why it says fishers of men. We want to get deep into that space. But this is a sometimes dangerous place because we know more about what's in outer space than we do about what's at the bottom of the ocean. Space exploration has gone more quickly than ocean depths because it gets dark down there, black dark. And the pressure is so intense that ships and vehicles are crushed by the pressure. It's easier to get to the moon than the bottom of the ocean. And it's easier for you to live in your mind than for you to know what's going on in the depths of your heart. We need God. We need the light of the Holy Spirit. But this is not inherently a bad place. In fact, the very first time the word abundant is used in the entire Bible is around fish. I know Genesis 1. Let's go to chapter 20, verse 20. Y' all know I love me some Genesis 1. And as much as I love Genesis 1, the Holy Spirit had to bring this verse to my remembrance. It did not come to my mind right away, but here it is. It says, then this is day five. What? Five is the number of grace. Then God said, let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures. And let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens. So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves with which the waters what abounded according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And look at this. God blessed this them saying, be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas and Let birds multiply on the earth. So the evening and the morning were the fifth day. This is actually the first time we have the blessed, fruitful and multiply language. It's not said for the first time about us, but we always go straight to the scripture about us because we can read the Bible kind of self centered like that. And so we know, we all know, that when he made the first man and woman that he said be fruitful and multiply and he blessed them. But the first time he uses that language is here. And the language of abundance is not used on any other day of creation. I know, isn't that crazy? I've been reading the Bible all these years. But because abundance is the word over our year, this is so critical for us to understand. You always want to know the first time something appears in scripture because it lays a foundation. And so the fact that we are supposed to abundantly see fish and birds multiply and that he called them both out of the water. Here is one place where evolutionists and scripture intersect because it is their theory that birds came up out of the water because of the similarities between birds and fish. Now I'm not gonna preach, I'm preaching about birds next week, but we on fish today. But they have similarities. Both of them move in mediums of flow, airflow, water flow. Wings and fins do the same type of work to lift their weight in the flow. They both lay eggs, they don't birth, live. God called this out of the waters of our soul. Something is supposed to happen abundantly in the waters of the soul. They are supposed to abound. And so your heart life, your emotional life, the thoughts, the intents, the motives of your heart are meant to be this beautiful clean space, full of life, abundant life. And so what it means to have the life of God as humans that remember John 10:10, that's our verse for the year. That's our memory verse for the year that the enemy comes but to steal, kill and destroy. But he came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. Well, this is the groundwork for that abundance. How do we understand what it means? It's poured out. We've been learning that all January. Here we are in the water and the life in there are fish and the birds come out. So let's stay on the fish because they are teaching us something about what's happening in our hearts. But isn't that just the coolest? I just love this. Here's our abundant life and these things that live in the waters of life within us. That he pours out are meant to be fruitful and to multiply, to fill the seas and the birds will multiply on the earth by grace. Cause it's day five. And so this brings us back again to why Jesus calls fishermen and makes such a big deal about it. Luke, chapter 5, verses 1 through 11. I may not read it all because of time, but says so it was as the multitude pressed about him and to hear the word of God, him being Jesus. And he stood by the lake of Gennesaret and saw two boats standing by the lake. But the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. My very first time here in January, I preached to y' all about some nets. Then he got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat he's floating on the surface of hearts, teaching hearts. Every time you see somebody on the water in the Bible, from now on, check the heart message. And when he stopped speaking, he said to Simon, launch out into the deep and let your nets fall down your nets for a catch. Examine your heart, Simon. But Simon answered and said, master, we toiled all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, at your word, I will let down the net. And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their net was breaking. When he tried to do it his way, he trust me, when you try to understand yourself. He didn't catch nothing. He got nothing. No explanation. I don't know why I did what I just did. I don't even know why I told that lie. Why did I answer that? Why did I just gossip about that person? What am I even doing? Sometimes you hear stuff coming out your mouth and you're like, why am I even saying this right now? And then you try to figure it out, you dig down into your heart, you come up with nothing. Oh, but if we go down Jesus way, oh, my God. So they had so much, caught a great number of fish. Their net was breaking. They had to get partners come from the other boats to help them so it didn't sink. And so he called them and brought them to land. I'm gonna skip down to verse 10. And also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon specifically, do not be afraid. From now on, you will catch men. So when they had brought the boats to land, they forsook all and followed him. Man, how many of us were decided to follow Jesus because he revealed something to us so deep about what's happening inside of us that we just had to follow him. Amen. Let's go to Matthew 16 because I wanna look at Peter. Peter is gonna kind of be our focus. Last week we looked at Job and the fact that when Job went overboard, he was in the waters of his own conflicted heart. He was swallowed by his own motives. God let him come in contact with what was really driving him in his heart. And so now I wanna look at Peter. Cause Peter spends a lot of time around water and fish too. And he's going to help us how we discern our hearts so that we can be clean hearted and be in unity as a result. So Peter knows who Jesus is. This is really important. It says verse Matthew 16:13, When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying, who do men say that I, the Son of man am? So they didn't have a good answer. They said, some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. He said, I didn't ask what they say, who do you say that I am? And in verse 16, who answered? Simon Peter answered and said, you are the Christ, the son of the living God. He knows who Jesus is and he's not afraid to say it. His faith is strong and he's tuned in. His discernment is present. We talk a lot about Peter's problems, but he was able to see Jesus clearly and declare who he was. But we know that there are other things that are going on in his heart that's going to cause a problem later. Hebrews 4, verse 12 says, for the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. We got to pay attention to what thoughts and intents means, that thoughts is not thoughts, like your mind, like conclusions or ideas. These are what we would call a pre reflective intelligence, embodied emotional attention to something. Remember last week I told you there's 40,000 neurons on the heart. Neurons are involved in our thought process and that memories are actually stored there. They know that because people receiving heart transplants often report having the memories of the person that their heart came from. And so memories are stored on the heart. They aren't up here, they come from down here. So we don't always know what's going on. So we have all these things happening at the motion level, the body level, and so this word thoughts is not the same as the thoughts of the mind, which we'll talk about next week. It is a pre reflected, embodied, emotional leaning. When it talks about intense, it's a direction. I lean in this direction if somebody shows up to pick me up late and I always decide they didn't care enough to be here on time. If I lean in the direction always of a negative interpretation, leaning in, or I'm so scared to be rejected or have a problem that I always lean into the wildest, most optimistic, insane. I don't see you standing there about to punch me in the mouth. Blank out and you'll call that one holy. But not necessarily. If you're just trying to escape conflict and rejection. Still not healthy and not holier. It doesn't make you holier. It just makes you avoidant. Anyway. And so down in that heart, we got a leaning. Think of it like a current. The water's flowing in a specific direction. It's very hard to get anything to move opposite of the current. If I go and stand ankle deep in the ocean, because that's as far as I'm going. Cause I don't swim so good. I have sometimes had to step back out of the water because the current was so strong that even by the ankles, it was about to snatch me in. That happened to me in Mexico one time. I was on the coast and took my whole flip flop, my Tory Burch flip flop. But did I go after it? No. Because I want to live and not die. But it tells you how forceful water is. So when you think about that ocean in your heart, what way is it flowing? Where's the current going? Because it's gonna take you that intent. Those heart thoughts and intents are the direction. And then motive gets into the picture. Motive is the emotion giving that direction energy. So emotion gets me looking, the intent gets me leaning, and the motive gets me moving. But it all came from a place that's pre verbal and preconscious. So maybe until I just said it earlier, you didn't realize that your current runs toward a negative interpretation or runs beyond reality to avoid anything painful. It's a leaning. So that's where we get that thoughts and the intents of the heart and motives is where we cross the threshold into action. Again, emotion supplies the force, intent supplies the direction. And motive is emotion and direction together we on the move. It's the why that you're looking for, the why that I did this. And it's really important for us to recognize that we can Find this in our own bodies. Hebrews 5:14 says, Solid food belongs to those who are full age. That is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. You have to start paying attention to what's happening in your body immediately when something starts. Immediately I have learned and then had to relearn this lesson. Do not respond when my body is activated. If I'm a little mad, I don't care how well I choose the words. People won't remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel. Prophet Maya Angelou My God, but it's the truth. You can feel what's really behind the words no matter how well they are chosen. And so I have learned to be still. And then I've had to learn it again and again that I should wait until I am not in an activated pain, emotion state state to start talking because I'm leaning somewhere and I don't want that. And so I pay attention to what's happening in my body in order to not have that happen. Peter needed to do that, but he didn't. Let's go to Matthew 14:22 33. This is Peter walking on the water. I'm going to summarize the story, read it later. But Jesus shows up walking on the water when they are on a boat. And Jesus speaks to them in verse 27 and says, Be of good cheer. It is I. Do not be afraid. I think this is the third time we've seen a don't be afraid in one of these verses. And Peter answered him and said, lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water. Now remember, Peter said, I know you're the Son of God. He declared it. He's on this thing. And so Jesus says, come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walks on the water to go to Jesus. He pulled it. He pulled it off. Now, most of us know he about to sink, but let's pause and give him credit for going out there and getting a few steps in. He did get a few steps in. I don't know. It would have been me ankle deep, right? And so he comes out and he says, come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, the water, he got caught up in how the water was crashing. When the wind was boisterous, he became afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him and said to him, O ye of little faith, why did you doubt? And when they got into the boat, that's a whole nother message. The wind sees. Stay in the boat. Stay in the boat. Stay in the boat. Stay in the boat, Stay in the boat. Jesus is always in the boat. The word will keep you sailing good from the boat. You can pull up the fish that are good and throw back the mess. Not from down. Okay, I don't have time. I don't have time. I don't have time. And so we see Peter have this half thing. Now, I've had an experience like this somewhat. Some of you may have heard this story before. It's one of my favorite moments in my walk with Jesus. But I was living in a brand new townhouse that we had just gotten. My baby was small and there was a mouse in it. And this was the first time to my knowledge that I had ever been in a place with a mouse in it. Maybe my dad killed a few, I don't know. But to my knowledge, this was the first time I have been housed with a mouse. And when I first saw it, you know, you just see that like little streak you like. Was that a shadow? Did the light flicker? I'm sure it's fine. I'm feeding my son. He was 2 years old or so. He's in his crib, he's in his high chair. I'm feeding him. And then about 10 minutes later did I see another flicker. And how I got up to go to the restroom and when I came back to the kitchen, I seen it with my whole eyes. That was a mouse. A rodent has run across my kitchen. Now the house was new construction, so I'm sure it must have gotten right in the beginning when it was being constructed. But this was a problem for me. And so over the next couple of weeks, this mouse chased me all over my three story townhouse. I saw it in the kitchen, so I stopped going in the kitchen. I only would go to the basement. So now I'm in the basement. And then one day I saw it run across the basement. So now I can't go to the basement. So now I'm staying in my bedroom on the top floor. Only I run to get something I needed. I go back up to my room. And then one night in the middle of the night, I heard this scratchy sound and I turned the light on and that mouse came running out from under my end table. Oh, the scream, the blood curdling scream. I ran to my son's nursery and climbed into the crib with him. Cause I was like, I don't think they could climb. But obviously it could climb. Cause it been on every level of the house. And so after I got into the crib, now I got nowhere else to go. The next day, I had to go to the kitchen to get the baby's food put together. And I got a little spiritually indignant. I said, this God gave us this house. And a mouse is chasing me all over the house that God gave me. Ah, ah. We not having that devil. I got real saved. And so the way the house was made. Here's the front door. When you come in the front door, the kitchen is right here. And right here are the steps to go up. And so I came marching down the steps. The front door's here, the kitchen's in front of me. And I stood there because the kitchen was the last place at that point that I had seen the mouse. And I said, in the name of Jesus, by the power of him who spoke to the winds and the waves and told them to be still and told the animals to walk two by two into the ark, Mouse, come out and get out of my house. I had opened the front door. Oh, yes, I did it. And in about 20 seconds, I kid you not, that mouse came running straight out from under the refrigerator, straight at me. And you know what? I did and took off running. And when I screamed and ran, the mouse turned around, ran back under the fridge. Dang it. But I walked a few steps on that water. I walked a few steps. I walked a few steps. I did that said, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I went down. I did it again. In the name of Jesus, who speaks to the winds and waves, tells it to be still, and who told the animals to walk two by two into the ark of Noah, come out and get out of my house. And it came out instantly that time. Zoom. And I said, ow. And I ran again. And it ran back under there again. We did this whole thing one more time. And then I realized, this isn't gonna work. And so I said, mouse, I never wanna see you again. Go into a wall and die somewhere. Cause I reduced my prayer to what my body could handle. I had faith in God, but I was scared of the mouse. See, you get mad with Peter. Peter walked a few steps. He had faith in Jesus, but he was afraid of the waves. You have faith in God, but when you get scared, you have faith in God, but when you get mad, you have faith in God, but when the money is Tight. You start sinking, you start running. It's not the faith in God that's the problem. It's your fear of the thing. Do not be afraid. Fearless February. Fearless February. And guess what happened a couple days later? I was down in the basement and I smelled something terrible. I was like, what is that smell? I mean, nostril burning kind of stink. And somebody came home. I said, what does that smell? They said, oh, it smelled like a mouse or something died in here. This was a poor choice, but I used my authority and God allowed it to happen. To take. Teach me something. Stop chasing a watered down version, minimized version of what you actually want God to do. The power is available to you, but you cannot fear the thing. Do not be afraid. Peter got scared. He walked a few steps, but he sunk. And what was Jesus teaching Peter in that moment? That your boldness can collapse under pressure because what's happening deep in your heart? See, my intent, my motive was fear in the first place. I'm scared of this mouse and I want it out today. I don't want an exterminator next week. I don't want a trap to wait for. I want it out now because it's scaring me to death. See, Dennis? And my motives o my motive undermined the full operation of God. We got to get down in here to know what's really going on because Peter actually lives this out. Later, we all know that Peter betrays Jesus. I got to hurry up. It's in Luke 22, verses 31, 33. Peter tells him, I'm going to just go to verse 33. He says, Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death. This is at the Last Supper. This is right before the crucifixion. Peter said, I will die for you. I'm your man. And he means it. And Jesus says, you going to deny me three times? You going to walk a few steps, then you're going down? And so Peter shows that he means this. We all know the story. I don't have time. Jesus is in Gethsemane. Read it for yourself if you don't know it. Jesus is praying. The disciples fall asleep because they're so sorrowful, it knocks them out. That's in the book of Luke. And then they go down. The soldiers come to get Jesus and they go down there. And Peter pulls out his sword and cuts off a soldier's ear. That is him proving that he will die and go to prison with Jesus. There was like hundreds of soldiers. What was Peter? He was not gonna win this fight. But he was willing to take somebody out before they took him out. But that was a death move. He was willing to go to prison or die for Jesus. And Jesus rebukes Peter, puts the man's ear back on. And now Peter feels, I believe, humiliated and rejected. See, we always talk about Peter's betrayal like he was just evil and he didn't care about Jesus. He just showed he was willing to die or go to prison for Jesus when he cut off that ear because he was about to get took out by 300 people. But if that were you, and you were that loyal and you were that willing to sacrifice and that person rebukes you and then reverses what you just did to protect them, tell me your feelings wouldn't be hurt. Tell me your feelings wouldn't be hurt. And so we look at Peter then later when people come and say, weren't you with Jesus? No, I wasn't with him. And I mean, he cussing. And he does it three times. And we look at that as this stone cold betrayal that we're not capable of. But you don't know your heart. Let something in your walk with Jesus go awry. Let him not answer a prayer the way that you wanted it answered. Let him not let the relationship work out. Let the loan not go through. Let the job not happen. After you fasted for three weeks, God, I did all these things. Why didn't you? Oh, and then you're not at church for three weeks and that's your denial. Oh, hey, hey. Them tithes short next week. Cause I've been paying my tithes. And he did it. Jesus, God did it. You think you won't betray him, but you don't know what's in the depths. We walk a few steps, we sink. But Jesus is so good to us that when he rises from the dead, we find Peter with the other disciples. Which means that they embraced him back. One family. Everybody not gonna get it right all the time. But we gotta stay together. We gotta stay together. There can't be a shark, so many sharks in your heart that as soon as it smells the blood of somebody else's failure. And now they have to be cut off. And I can never see them again. And I can never talk to them again. And they can never come back to this church. Absolutely not. That's not. That's not who we're supposed to be. That's not abundant life. That's not. Not. That's not having the waters filled with the kind of life that we are. Supposed to at creation. And so we find the disciples all together. And then Jesus shows up and not only forgives him, but restores him. He asked him three times, will you do you love me? If so, feed my sheep. He asked him three times to say he loved him, because three times he denied him. He gave him a chance to fix it and get his heart right. And because of that embrace, Peter becomes the leader on Pentecost Day. He's out there preaching and telling people what's happening, that Pentecost has come and to let us know that everybody was of one heart. He actually becomes a unifying leader. Where before he was worried about who's going to be greatest in the kingdom and what Jesus thinks about me. And all of a sudden, now he's unifying, even to the point where he has to lay down his racist tendencies toward the Gentiles and actually minister to them. He is shifted, baby. They will be shifted up. And when the shift happens, we have to be the body of Christ to say, still my brother, still my sister. But if my heart is full of sharks that say, oh, absolutely not. If I see somebody coming who hurt me, I'mma eat them. Oh, my God. We got to be willing to have the cost of unity be paid. Does that mean I just let people treat me any kind of way? I don't know. Jesus died bloody and naked and never said a mumbling word, as the old folks say. I don't know. Jesus stood in front of Pilate and did not respond to the accusations. Y' all know I'm a therapist. I'm not saying abuse, but some of y' all don't even get to abuse. It's not even abuse. It's just somebody being human and collapsing and doing a bad job. And you just. And I used to be her, so I understand. I mean. And could nobody snatch the plug out the wall faster? Oh, really, baby? Not even lose no sleep? Delete your number. You text me, I'll be like, who this? Ain't even thought about it no more. Y' all be stewing. I wouldn't even stew. Just delete your files from my memory. So I know God can change a person because he changed me. But we have to allow the change. And the changes often happen by suffering. The thing that we're trying to avoid to find out that we're different. Oh, I gotta go. I gotta go. One family, your. The thoughts of your heart, the intents, the motives. I'm gonna ask you to become meticulous in your observation of self and in your Submission to God, because you won't be able to change yourself by yourself. That's why we serve Jesus. This is the only faith, the only Savior, the only one who actually makes me different. I don't want you to behave different. I want you to be made different. So what it means to be born again. When something happens comes out your mouth, you respond in a way, you're like, that is not me. Yes, that's the goal. Every other religion gives you rules to live by, and that makes it all right. But we are following a Christ who promised that we could be born over again. That means I'm actually made so different, I don't recognize myself in the mirror. Peter was so transformed, Jesus had to change his name from Simon to Peter. And the story is told of Peter that when he died by crucifixion, he asked to be crucified upside down because he didn't feel worthy to die the same way Jesus did. That's how far into humanity humility this prideful, angry man went. Are you willing to have the waters drained and have God pour rivers of living water to fill you back up, that this abundant life will be so profusely flowing out of you that you will be filled abundantly with a heart of God? We can't have his mind. That's next week. His thoughts are not our thoughts. But even King David, with all his failures, God still said he was a man after my heart. If you would stay down in there. I'm not excusing mess. I told y' all last week, walk worthy Daggett. But in our pursuit of worthy walking, we must allow God to keep training, refilling our hearts. Have anybody ever seen that thing on this thing I've seen on Instagram a while back where there's this picture of, like, dirty water and they start pouring clean water into it, and they pour it until all the dirty water has overflowed out, and then the whole thing is full of clean water. That's what we need God to do for our hearts. If we would just stay in the constant, abundant outpouring flow of the Holy Spirit, eventually all of the messiness will flow out and there will be a heart full of fresh water. And everything that swims in there will be good things. And if we're floating in the word of God, when we cast down and pull up, if we see some mess, we toss it back and ask God to keep cleaning us out. Stand to your feet. I'm done, I'm done, I'm done. We gotta go. Oh, glory, To God. Does anybody want a clean heart? I want that to be fresh water, good water. I want it to be crystal clear, see, down to the bottom. I want to trust everything that's swimming around in there. Because, man, I'll probably dig into this more in the next service, but there's a verse in Matthew where Jesus is talking and he says, if you. If your child comes and asks you for bread, would fish, would you give him. I'm sorry, bread, Would you give him a stone? And if he asks you for fish, would you give him a serpent? And that fish. Serpent link so critical, because there are many snakes who swim. There are many snakes who swim. And you gotta be on the lookout for the enemy swimming around in there, making his suggestions. In your heart, you'll think, that's just me, it's mine. But the enemy is swimming around. Serpents are the only animal that can move in every medium. They swim, they move across sand, they can climb trees. And some of them are flying snakes. They can jump so far from one tree to another, they call them flying snakes. They can move in every medium. It don't matter where they are, where you are. And that's how the enemy got at the first woman. He didn't go after her mind. He dove down into the heart. Guard your heart, for out of it flows the issues of life. Every river is fed ultimately by the ocean. Ocean water evaporates. It comes back down to the ground. It gets into the ground, it goes into the rivers, it goes back to the ocean. It goes up, it goes around again and call it the water cycle. So you gotta guard your heart, because whatever you let get in there, whether it seeps in from the soil of your flesh, that hatred, that addiction, it gets into the water. We want our water to be clean. Give us a clean heart, oh, God, renew a right spirit in us so that we would be of one heart, that we would manifest unity of God in a way that has not been seen in the earth Every time. Unity seems to expand rapidly in a faith space, all we get is a culture. But I believe that it's possible for the holiest form of unity to exist and that we, as one, are called to be the ones to exhibit it. God, wash us out. Make us of one heart. Let us show the world who you are by our love and the unity that it breeds. Is there anybody here who doesn't know Jesus? You don't have a relationship with Jesus. He's not your savior. You aren't chasing after Jesus daily. You haven't said, Lord, Save me, change me. Make me different. Change my heart, change my purpose, change my way of thinking, change my life. Is there one here who doesn't know Jesus in that way? And you want to. It's all right if you told him that when you were 10, but I need you to tell him as a grown person with all your faculties and volition. Is there anyone? Just slip your hand up real quick. If you're watching online and you want to give your life to Jesus, just type it in the chat and one of our prayer team will jump in to get with you. I'm going to believe everyone in the room knows Jesus or you are one step closer to saying yes. Keep coming back. We want to see you transformed. Lift your hands. Let me pray a benediction over you. Man 1 I love you so much. If you could see the excitement inside me about you and what God is doing in this room. And with this movement history, it's going to be marked in history the move of the spirit. That's why we got to have our hearts bound together. Father, unify us in Jesus name.
