You Feel Trapped By What Others Say You Can't Do

You've heard it a thousand times: you can't start that business, you can't leave that job, you can't be worthy of love. This message shows you why those voices keep you captive and how to actually break free.

Pastor Ricardo Zaal · Fountain of Grace International, Pretoria North

This message is for you if:

  • You're paralyzed by shame about past failures
  • People around you keep telling you what's impossible
  • You feel stuck in a grave situation with no way out
  • You wonder if you're too broken for God to help

The Chains Holding You Captive

You know the feeling. Someone tells you not to start that business because you'll fail. Someone says you're not smart enough for that job. Someone whispers that nobody will ever love you the way you are. And the worst part is, over time, you start believing them. Those words become chains.

The story of the demon-possessed man in Mark 5 is your story. People tried to bind him with chains. He broke them. People tried again. He broke them again. Eventually they gave up and let him wander between graveyards and mountains, cutting himself with stones. He wasn't held by chains anymore. He was held by something worse-the belief that he was beyond help, that he belonged in the grave.

Your own negative beliefs work the same way. They're the chains you've stopped noticing because you've worn them so long. The voices telling you what you can't do, the shame from what you've already done, the fear that you're too broken-these are your mountains and tombs.

Why People Keep You Trapped

Here's what most people don't tell you: the people holding you captive usually think they're protecting you. Someone says you can't start that business because they're afraid you'll get hurt. Someone keeps you small because they're scared you'll fail and suffer. Their chains come wrapped in concern.

But protection isn't the same as freedom. Love that locks you down isn't love-it's control dressed up as care. When someone tells you that you're useless, that you don't deserve better, that you should stay where you are because the outside world is too dangerous, they're not protecting you. They're keeping you in a graveyard while you're still alive.

The Stone You've Been Using to Survive

When the man in the tombs got desperate, he cut himself with stones. You do this too, though it looks different. When life gets too hard, you pick up stones-gospel songs, prayers, routines, habits-just to get relief for a moment. There's nothing wrong with those things. But you've been using them to numb the pain instead of using them to meet Jesus.

A stone is what Jesus became-the cornerstone that builders reject but that holds everything together. When you're crying night and day in your mountain and tomb situation, you're actually calling out for the one who can move mountains and raise the dead. Jesus is the cornerstone you've been using as a crutch. Stop using him as a band-aid. Meet him as your rescuer.

The Fear That Keeps You From Jesus

Here's where the real trap springs. Once you see Jesus coming toward you, the devil shows up with a list. All the things you stole. All the people you hurt. All the times you failed. And the devil whispers: Jesus is coming to torment you, not save you. You're too dirty. Your sins are legion-too many to count, too big to forgive.

But that's a lie. Jesus didn't come to torment you. He came to forgive you. When you ask for forgiveness, He doesn't pull out a ledger. He doesn't say your sins are too numerous. He says yes. Over and over again, yes. The only barrier between you and freedom is the shame you've agreed to carry, the belief that you're beyond repair.

What's your name? Jesus asked the demon-possessed man. And the answer was Legion-because he was carrying so many problems, so much shame, so much weight. But Jesus didn't flinch. He healed him anyway. That same Jesus is asking your name right now.

How to Actually Break Free

Breaking free from your mountain and tomb situation doesn't start with changing your circumstances. It starts with a choice: you have to decide right now that you need Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Not as a helper. Not as a bonus. As the one who moves mountains and opens tombs.

That choice removes the shame barrier. Once Jesus is your foundation, the voices telling you that you're useless become background noise. The chains you've worn so long lose their weight. Your past mistakes stop defining your future. You don't have to use stones to scratch yourself anymore. You have a cornerstone.

Then action follows belief. You start the business. You go after the relationship. You apply for the job. You stop waiting for permission from people who benefit from keeping you small. Every time fear whispers, you remember: I have someone on my side. I have Jesus.

Your Next Step

If you haven't made Jesus your Lord and Savior, do it now. The prayer is simple: acknowledge that you've sinned, ask for forgiveness, and invite Him to be your personal Lord and Savior. That's it. He's waiting for you to call.

If you used to follow Jesus but you've drifted back into the world, come back. He's the Father who welcomes His children home-not with shame, but with celebration. Come back to work with Him, to help others break free like you did.

Then reach out. Tell someone at your church or in this community that you've made that choice. Take the next step. Let someone help you understand the promises God has actually made to you-not the chains others have placed on you.

"For far too long people have been holding you captive with their words and their fear-but Jesus is here to tell you that you don't belong in the grave and the mountain is not your home."

- Pastor Ricardo Zaal

Key Takeaways

  1. Chains Are Broken By Choice, Not Circumstance You can break chains a thousand times and put them back on a thousand times more. The real breakthrough happens when you decide you don't want to wear them anymore. That decision has to come from inside you. Your circumstances won't change until you change your mind about who you are and whose you are. Jesus removes shame; you remove the chains.
  2. Your Mountain Gives You Strength, But It's Not Your Home Mountains and tombs teach you something. They show you that there's better than this. They force you to seek higher ground. But people who love you wrong try to keep you on the mountain to protect you. They confuse the lesson with the destination. Thank your mountains for making you stronger, but don't pitch your tent there. God didn't design you to live in the crisis-He designed the crisis to draw you closer to Him.
  3. Shame Is The Real Prison; Jesus Is The Real Key Physical chains can be broken. Emotional ones are harder because you carry them willingly. Shame is the story you believe about yourself-that you're too damaged, too sinful, too broken. Jesus doesn't argue with your past. He rewrites your future. The moment you accept that He forgives you completely, shame loses its grip. Your past becomes proof that His grace is real, not proof that you're worthless.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I've done too many bad things for God to forgive me?

No. Jesus told His followers to forgive seventy times seven-not because He runs out of grace on the 491st time, but because He never runs out. He forgave murderers, thieves, liars, and people who completely abandoned Him. Your sins are not too many. Your shame is just louder than His forgiveness. When you ask, He says yes.

How do I stop letting people's words control my life?

First, acknowledge that their words are chains, not truth. Second, ask yourself: would I let someone this broken, this limited, this afraid tell me who I am? Third, give your life to Jesus and let Him tell you who you really are-a son or daughter of God, someone He died for, someone He has a purpose for. People's words lose power when you're anchored to something bigger.

I feel stuck in my situation. What do I do right now?

Stop waiting for everything to be perfect before you move. Your mountain situation is there to teach you, not to stop you. Start somewhere small-apply for the job, have the conversation, take the step. And bring Jesus into it. Pray. Ask for His help. The action matters because it proves you believe He can move mountains. He rewards faith plus action.

This morning I want to just greet you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior. This morning my message is entitled We all need somebody. We all need someone. We all need someone. We all need someone. Now we all need someone. I entitle it that way because I want to prove to you a few things. A few things that you should be knowing is that number one is that we all need Jesus. We all need Jesus. Whether you like it or not, we all need Jesus. So this morning I want to bring a few ideas into you so that you can understand why I say we all need someone. Because this morning if you don't have somebody on your side you will always be struggling. I intentionally started this video on Facebook by making some few mistakes just to prove to you that we all need someone. My son is sitting here. My daughter is there. I mean all of them are here and they could be helping me in resolving the issue. But I wanted to prove to you that we all need someone. Regardless whether you telling yourself that you don't need anybody else except yourself. This morning I want to show you why I'm saying that we all need someone. I just want to pray for you this morning Heavenly Father. Anybody listening to this this morning, Father God, let their ears be opening to the Spirit of God. Let their eyes be open to what you are doing in their lives, Father God. Whether they see it or they don't, Father God, let their eyes be open, Father God. Let their hearts be pure, Father God, because you said in your word that only the pure of heart will see you, Father God. So whoever has a heart that is hardened to you, Father God, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus this morning, purify their hearts so that they can see you. And for those who doesn't want to purify their heart, use other ways and means so that they can see you because I want them to see the glory that comes down from you this morning, my God. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, O Lord and Savior, this morning I want to pray, O Lord, that anybody that will be coming to the church this morning, anybody who will be listening from wherever they listen from, whether it's Facebook, whether it's YouTube, whether it is from any other platform, Father God, this morning, I want to pray for them, Father God, because your word is here, your word is amen. Nothing can be added, nothing can be taken from it, Father God. And therefore I want to pray for your word this morning so that your word, as it goes out, Father God, let it go out for what it is said to be going out for, Father God. Let that word be the word that will be proof that who you are in our lives this morning, Rabbi Shekeribos Sandad, Rabbi Kassian Dederibay. This morning I also want to pray, O Lord, Jesus, that as each and every one will be listening to this, Father God, let their spirits be so open so that they can only see what you say. They can only hear what you say, no other things that come from their mind. I take the mind kept in obedience to the Holy Spirit this morning in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, O Lord and Savior. I hold kept of any thought that is taken out of proportion from what God is trying to say in the mighty name of Jesus. And I listen to the Spirit of God over this word this morning in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, O Lord and Savior. I pray, Amen. Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ, O Lord and Savior. I greet you all. I greet you all. Every pastor, apostle, or let me say, men of God, any man of God, we all are men of God, regardless whether you are... I don't have a title, but still, you are still a man of God just by preaching the word of God. I salute you this morning in the mighty name of Jesus. You will be so blessed by sharing the good news because one good news shared from you brings up so much joy into others' lives. And therefore, I just bless you this morning in the mighty name of Jesus. Let everything you touch be of gold so that God can see the transformation in everybody else's life through you. In Jesus' name, I bless you. I bless you. I bless you this morning. I bless you this morning. Anybody who's listening to this, I greet you this morning. I greet you. I greet you. Anybody sitting and listening to me this morning, I bless you. Thank you for coming up to the house of the Lord because through your coming to the house of the Lord, there is some sort of purpose for me standing here this morning. For you listening to this, there's a purpose for me standing this morning. And regardless whether the devil is trying to steal from us, whatever God has given to us this morning, I just say thank you, Lord Jesus. The devil cannot take away what you have meant for us to do. So this morning, I want to take my scripture reading out of Mark 5, verse 19. I just want to get a light. Just give me a second. Hallelujah. Thank you. Now, Mark 5, verse 19. I'm starting off my message with this scripture specifically just so that you can see the end from the beginning because I will start from the beginning, moving my way up to the end. How but Jesus suffered him not, but said unto him, Go home, thy friends, go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee. And had compassion on thee. May the Lord bless the reading of his word. Now, this is a scripture from a man that has been going from far, from this side to that side, and every time things happen. But I want to tell you the story from my point of view. And when I say from my point of view, what God has laid upon my head or my heart to tell you how this story ended up. Now, picture this. Certain things happen in life that you don't understand. And because you don't understand it, it's what makes things to be different. It's what makes things to be different. And therefore, whenever you tend to not understand certain things, it makes it a bit tough. But I have this chorus actually that is so in my heart. I don't know if you all know the chorus, but I will sing it as far as I can. If you know the words, please join in with me. If you know the words, because sometimes these words, it's a bit difficult or tricky. I sometimes struggle myself with these words. Oh, we glorify your name, God. We glorify your name. Everything has a dear banted fall. The water saw my soul long after thee. You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship thee. You alone are my strength, my shield. To you alone may my spirit heal. You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship thee. You alone are my strength, my shield. To you alone may my spirit heal. You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship thee. Has a dear banted fall. The water saw my soul long after thee. You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship thee. You alone are my strength, my shield. To you alone may my spirit heal. You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship thee. And I long to worship thee. And I long to worship thee. And I long to worship thee. Thank you Heavenly Father. I long to worship thee this morning. Now I want to tell you a story about a guy. This guy has been sleeping on mountains, has been moving from mountains to tombs. Or let me say graveyards, like we know it. And every time when people see him, they try to captivate him and fasten him. But every time this guy is so strong, he actually breaks all the things that they are trying to keep him captive with. And every time whenever they try again, he breaks it again. And I think people ended up saying, this guy is too strong and therefore they just leave him. This guy has been walking around with change surrounding his hands. And this is a story of many of us. And you might be saying, but why are you saying this is a story of many of us? Why are you relating this guy to us? Why are you saying that somebody like this has been walking with change, like this has been going through graveyards, like this has been going to mountains, has been like us? Why do you say this? Let me break it down for you. And I want to show you something. That is why my message is entitled that we all need someone. We all need someone is where you think that you need somebody, is not always where you think you need somebody. Sometimes you need somebody in an unexpected way. Now why I'm saying you need somebody in an unexpected way is because of the change that they are putting on your hands for you not to be moved. And therefore I'm saying to you, when you look at somebody who's putting a chain on you, trying for you not to move from one place to another is the person I'm talking about this morning. So I want to show to you what I mean by this. Let me show you. When somebody holds you captive is the person that actually tells you, but Ricardo, you can't do a business because of certain things that you will be doing or will be getting into, will be killing you. I want to hold you captive. So I want to put chains on you so that you can't do the business and kill yourself in doing the business. But my friend, my brother, my sister, I'm here to tell you for far too long they've been holding you captive. For far too long they've been holding you captive. I come to you this morning and I break the chains that has been holding you captive from living out the dream or the life that you would like to live or the dream and the life that God has purposed you to do. Because God has planned so many things for you in life that certain people will keep on telling you, but you, you are useless. Putting that chain on your head and keep on saying because you are useless, you cannot be moved. So therefore you have to break those chains and say I don't care about those chains that is coming upon my life. I still want to know that God has a plan and a purpose for me. I am free by the Word of God. Yes, my brother, my sister, this is why I'm saying to you that I want to bring a message that is different than what you have been hearing many times because so many people that you need, you are in need of because of the words that they say to you, every negative, negative words, word that they're giving out to you makes you to think I'm useless but the more you hear the negative words and the more you start knowing yourself, the more you realize, no, no, no, no, no, but you are so wrong. You are so wrong. How can you be holding me so captive the whole time? Every time you hold me captive it's like as if you want me not to go anywhere. I understand, my brother, I understand, my sister. I fully, I'm fully with you when you say I want to keep you from getting hurt. But when you're looking at this guy, what actually happened is I want to show you something. Now, I want to bring this message to you to make you understand what I'm trying to say. So let me read something for you. Now, and they came over into the side of the sea, into a country of the Gadiranas and when he was come, he, and when he was come out of the ship immediately, he made out the tomb man with an unclean spirit who had his dwelling among the tombs and no man could bind him, no, not with change because he had been often bound with fetus and change and the change had been plucked asunder by him and the fetus broken into pieces, neither could any man tame him. And always night and day he was in the mountains and in the tomb crying and cutting himself with stones, trying and cutting himself with stones. Now, this man is the same like you and I, you've been cutting yourself with stones most of the time and not understanding what the meaning of those stones is. So though this morning I want to break the stones down to you so that you can understand any time whenever you feel uncomfortable, why you use a stone to scratch yourself. Why, say for instance, you are itching, I'm just making an example in this case, you're using a stone to help with that itching. Why is it like that? I want to bring it back to you just so that you can understand what I mean by that because if you're looking at it, if you're looking at it, let me explain it to you this way. Now, a stone is the same color stone that the builders have been rejected, is the same color stone that brings relief to you because the stone in the Bible has been set up to the builders so that any time whenever they build a house, they make the same stones to build the house and it's a strong color stone normally that makes everything to be helping. Now, Jesus is the same color stone that has been rejected and the same color stone that this man was using every time whenever things are tough. He had himself taking up a stone and it's the same like you, whenever you are down and high up, you use the same stone. Now, how do you use the same stone? Now you think to yourself, life is tough, life is hard, life is giving me so much difficulties so therefore I want to use a stone this morning and that is when whenever the things get so tough, you start singing some songs that you are going through and there is normally your gospel songs to uplift yourself. You've been using stones to uplift yourself. So this morning I want to say to you, you don't have to use certain things. The cornerstone is here this morning to uplift you out of the situation that you've been going through, the situation that has been putting you down, the situation that has been holding you captive. That same person is here this morning to prove to you that you do need someone and that someone is Jesus. You do need someone and that someone is also your circumstances to tell you that I don't want to live like this anymore. Your circumstances is there to help you because you need someone to tell you that you are in the wrong place because most of the time, some people are living amongst the death while they are still alive. So if you live among the death and you are still alive, you need somebody to tell you, hey, that is a tomb, that is a graveyard where you are at the moment. You don't need to be there. A graveyard, you are so used to your graveyard situation this morning that your graveyard situation is actually giving you a peace of mind. I am just well to live among the graveyards and find where I'm living amongst the death. Nobody can speak back to me. Nobody can tell me. But you are so wrong. You need someone to tell you you are at the wrong place. You are at the wrong place. So this morning, I want to tell you that Jesus is here to tell you the graveyard situation that you've been dwelling amongst the death this morning. I want to take you out of that in the mighty name of Jesus. I'm taking you out of that graveyard situation this morning. I'm taking you out of that graveyard situation this morning. Any graveyard situation in your life, I come against it now in the name of Jesus and I bring life, life that is just a life coming from Jesus. Life in abundance this morning. So I want to take you out of your graveyard situation where you've been going up mountains and I mean mountains that you've been climbing. You don't even feel the mountains anymore. But I want to say to you, thank your mountains because it's your mountains that give you strength to live another day. Because the more you go up mountains, the more strength you gain. So this morning, I want to say to you, even though the mountain is not a place to stay, don't stay at your mountain situation because your mountain situation is there to help you, to actually uplift you, to give you strength so that you can live for the next morning. But it is not the final destination this morning. So this morning I want to say to you that your mountain and your grave situation is not the final destination. Your mountain and your grave situation is something that needs to come out of you because for far too long, people have been telling you that I want to keep you here so that you don't go back to the grave. I want to keep you here so that you don't go back to the mountain because any time you have a mountain situation is that that mountain is helping you so that you may know there's better to life than just a mountain and a grave this morning. So this morning I want to come to you and I say to you that the cornerstone is here this morning. The cornerstone is here to take you out of that mountain situation, to take you out of that graveyard situation because for far too long you've been sitting there and for far too long somebody has been trying to help you out. But instead of helping you out of your mountain situation, instead of helping you out of your graveyard situation, they actually is holding you captive because the more they hold you captive, the more it is that you as a person realize but this is not the place I want to be. I don't want to be held captive. I want to be loosened up. I want to be loosened up. And therefore this is why sometimes when you're so drunk and you don't understand but why am I... I just feel like singing a gospel song this morning and you start to sing and you start to sing and then you start singing things that you don't understand why my situation is going on like this and then you will be singing and then you feel so dirty and you start singing all these songs and then you start singing so you start singing the Lord is loving you the Lord loves me so much the Lord loves me so much because you need that stones to start scratching you so that the situation where you are in the graveyard situation the mountain situation that you are in is actually so much making you to yearn to God to making you to feel like I want to come closer to God and therefore as a dear partner to the water so my soul longed after thee is that says the songwriter says the songwriter and I mean as you yearn to God you use these stones to start scratching you like as the scripture was just mentioning here as the scripture was mentioning here and always night and day he was in the mountains and in the tombs crying and cutting himself with stones so this is why every night and every day you crying and you crying and you crying and you say but God the situation is too tough for me God this tomb situation is too tough for me God this mountain situation is too tough for me and by giving yourself some sort of relief is where it actually happened that you cut yourself with stones not knowing it's the cornerstone that you are using as a comfort and therefore anytime whenever you feel like you need to draw closer to God he will draw closer to you as well and therefore is the reason why it happened so I want to go further and I want to tell you also something but when Jesus saw him but when he saw Jesus afar off when he saw Jesus afar off he then worshiped him so imagine this is what happens to you anytime situations comes to you you have a way of just going and saying oh Jesus I worship you I worship you I worship you because you know that in Jesus actually this is a better life it's better things to come but this morning your mountain situation and your tomb situation is allowing you to see Jesus because it's allowing you to see Jesus because you need someone to introduce you to Jesus this morning so you need someone to tell you about Jesus this morning so therefore when Mark 5 verses verse 5 says it so nicely and always night and day he was in the mountains always night and day you are crying always night and day you are crying and cutting yourself with some stones always night and day moving from one mountain to another tomb not moving from a mountain to a valley not moving from a tomb to a life not moving from things but things just become become worse and worse and worse that makes you to introduce you to Jesus so if life becomes tough go to the one who has made everything in life because that person will be the one that will help you so we all need someone today and that someone is Jesus this morning so if you go through a tough situation this morning I want to tell you it's not necessary to go through your mountain and tombstones aside because all you can do is just to go to Jesus and start worshipping him but now the problem is one when you start worshipping Jesus you can see that there is some sort of a way that the devil is using so that the devil can say to you no no no Jesus is here to come and hurt you and this is what the guy was saying the next thing because now what happened is that as you worship Jesus and the devil doesn't want you to worship Jesus what then happened is that now he is telling you something that you should be a concern of because now you're thinking but if I go to Jesus my drinking problems he is going to show me back to that my problem where I hit my wife last night is going to show up when Jesus sees it so anytime whenever you go through your mountain situations and you see Jesus and then the devil is showing you back what you did before oh last night you were stealing somebody's things and you can't be taking it back because you already sold it so the devil will keep on telling you these things as you see Jesus trying to go to Jesus and start worshiping him therefore anytime whenever you start worshiping Jesus now the devil is trying to show you don't go there because the devil knows once you come closer to Jesus you will be having a problem and therefore he will show you something like what he's saying further up in the verse he said and cried with a loud voice and said what have I do with thee Jesus thou son of the most high I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not that thou torment me not so you think that Jesus is somebody who is just going to crucify you who is just going to torment you who is just going to tell you how useless you are how you've been stealing how you've been hitting people how you've been corrupting others against the word of God these are the things because now Satan is about to tell you you know that you are so bad that you have been drinking for so long God cannot help you and therefore when you come to Jesus you say Jesus why are you coming to torment me and therefore you want to now turn around and say but Jesus is a tormentor but Jesus is not a tormentor it's your situation that has been tormenting you and it's your situation that has been tormenting you and therefore this morning I want to pray to you this morning I want to pray with you this morning to let that mindset of Jesus will be judging me in a different way Jesus is a loving person he said that even by the time they were asking how many times should I forgive and he didn't just say seven times but he said it's so multiplication of times that you should be forgiven this morning Jesus will forgive you for everything that you have been doing so this morning Jesus has been forgiving you for everything already it's just you that have to forgive yourself and ask for forgiveness by God so that by you when you ask for forgiveness it helps you so this morning please Jesus is here Jesus is here Jesus is here this morning Jesus is here Jesus is here to tell you that anything that you've been going through any mountain situations that you've been going through any tomb situations that you've been going through it might be so many he's still going to take you out of that situation because what happened as the story goes on the story goes on and Jesus was actually asking this guy what is thy name? and he answered and said my name is legions for we are many so legions your situation has been so much it has been legions of problems legions of problems legions of things that you've done wrongly things that has made you to think that you're not allowed to even come closer to Jesus so many situations have been telling you that you are not worthy to come to Jesus and ask for forgiveness he will not forgive you your sense is so big your sense is so high your sense is so low your sense is so wide that Jesus cannot help you but this morning I'm here to tell you that even if you have legions of situations that you've been going through all you have to do is just to ask God this morning and say Lord Jesus I am sorry for this I have done please forgive me please forgive me Lord Jesus and Jesus is right there waiting for you to call upon his name because he said that whosoever call upon the name of Jesus shall be saved shall be saved so it's just for you to call upon the name of Jesus and you will be saved because therefore I'm saying to you we all need someone and that someone is Jesus we all even need your enemies as well because your enemies is there to prove to you that Jesus is in work with you because the more trials and tribulations you get the more it proves that Jesus is actually working in your case so this morning I want to tell you this morning as you are listening to this we all need someone even if that person is the person that is trying to hold you captive by the words that they are saying to you hold you captive by stealing your joy hold you captive by giving you things that you feel comfortable with but the moment you realize but they are holding me captive by saying I cannot start the business I cannot go into that relationship I cannot even go to the guy because in today's time a woman is not supposed to go to a guy and tell him I love him or tell him I like you or tell him I am looking for a husband are you available?

the mighty name of Jesus I prophesy this morning that everywhere you go you will be loved in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior if you have not taken Jesus up as your Lord and Savior this morning because it's no use of you saying I want to have this mountain and tomb situation taken away I want to have this taken away you cannot have that taken away if you have not made a decision to let the mountain mover let the tomb mover who has moved Lazarus from the tomb let that person be your personal Lord and Savior you cannot have a tomb be removed from your situation if you don't have the tomb removed if you don't have the mountain mover because Jesus is the tomb mover and the mountain mover Jesus is the one that will change your life so this morning if you have not taken up Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior you can lift up your hands and just say this prayer after me Lord Jesus say this prayer after me Lord Jesus I know that I have sinned I know that I have done some things wrong I know that I don't actually know that you are God I ask for forgiveness this morning I ask for forgiveness this morning forgive me all my sins because you said as we ask for forgiveness you will give us forgiveness this morning I ask you Lord write my name in the book of life I ask you this morning Lord whatever has taken whatever has been a cover between me and you or has been a wall between me and you or has been a wall between me and you whatever has been a wall between me and you take that wall apart so that I can see you face to face this morning wherever I have not known you in situations I ask for forgiveness Lord Jesus this morning as I come to you asking you to be my Lord and personal Savior I know you answered that prayer because of who you are I know you answered that prayer because of who you are and I thank you for you taking me into your family giving me a son of God to be a son of you giving me the name that you are my father giving me the name that I am your son or your daughter this morning I am your son or your daughter this morning and I thank you for taking me up in your family in the mighty name of Jesus Amen now this morning I want to also give up to those who said Jesus I know you I have been with you for far too long I know everything about you I know your word from Genesis to Revelation but life has been telling me so many stories that I ended up going back to the world I am cold I have not been living up to the standards that you have set for me if you are that person this morning say this prayer after me Lord Jesus I know I have made some mistakes in the past I know I have run away from you as a prodigal son I ask this morning take me back into your family I know this morning you will do it because you are a father that welcomes your children in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior I pray this morning take me back make me useful to you again again so that I can start working for you again so that I can be in the vineyard saving souls for you again in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Amen now all we can say is that for one soul that comes back to the Lord angels are dancing we should be dancing as well I don't want you to dance as yet because there is still work to be done so if you have given your life to Jesus you can see me after church if you said I want to come back you can see me after church as well this morning I want to also make sure that if you are on Facebook YouTube wherever you are listening to this from number on the screen you can just say I have given my life to Jesus what is the next step because I want to take the next step with you and start showing you certain things start showing you the promises that God has given to you so that you can see these promises that God has given to you is actually something that you should be loving up to so as you go in there do that so this morning if you want to give an offering you want to give a seed if you want to give your tithe you may bring it to me after the service or you may bring it to there is a bowl here you can put it in there online if you are online and you would like to sow in the ministry feel free to do that but please I'm asking you nicely if you feel that this is not for you because it's not for everybody to give into the kingdom of God if you feel that it's a burden to you rather don't give just leave it if you feel like it's just about the money making scheme please don't give because I'm only speaking to the person that God is saying that you should be given and as you give God will bless you so much I don't need money I'm working, my wife is working also but the kingdom of God is in need of money to pay for certain things and I'm not going to go into that just know whenever you give somebody on the street gets food to eat somebody who doesn't pay the rent sometimes or couldn't get the money for the rent sometimes we even help them as well sometimes it's just to have a electricity so all these things that we pay is where your money goes to and most of all it goes through the orphans, the widows it goes through the ones that doesn't have a house it goes through the people that are sleeping on the streets most of your money goes to those kind of things so if you don't feel this is your cause, don't give if you feel like no, this is not for me, don't if you do feel like I can't because I don't have money you can just drop off the food clothes you can drop it off at the church so this morning anything that you feel like you want to give you can bring it and like I said if this doesn't resonate with you rather don't do it just leave it because the call is not for you the call is for the people that feel God is speaking to them this morning and therefore God will be using that money and as you give, God will give back to you, good measure press down, shaken together it will be running over for you that will give back to you if you don't have money, you don't have clothes food all you can do is give your time you can come to church and you can start doing something in church or you can go out with us as we go and feed those who are hungry you can use your time to do that and may God richly bless you now may the grace of God the love and his fellowship be amongst us all from now until forever till Jesus comes surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever in Jesus name Amen Thank you
