I Know God Can, I Know God Will, But I Don’t Know How | Pastor Jabin Chavez | Elevation Church

Should I tell them? Do you want me to tell  them? Yeah. Okay, I'll I'll tell I'll tell   them. Elevation nights 2026. Uhhuh. October 9th  through October 18th. What is Elevation Nights?   Oh, it's only the greatest night of your life. All  your favorite songs. Believe in God with thousands   of brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm going to  bring a word. Yes, you are. Holly's gonna bring   a word. He's coming. And I'm bringing you  elevation worship. Elevation rhythm. We're   all you. All right. Give them the cities. We're  going to Lubbock, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Houston,   Kansas City, Memphis, Birmingham, San Antonio.  That's October 9th through 18th. Now, you got to   get your tickets right now. elevationnights.com.  And in the comments, let us know if you're coming,   thinking about coming, or going to regret  not coming for the rest of your life.   elevationnights.com. We'll see you soon. Quickly  turn in your Bibles while you're standing. We're   going to look at one passage of scripture, Hebrews  chapter 11, Hebrews 11:8. I bring greetings from   Las Vegas, Nevada. How many come at least once a  year on your mission trip? Amen. Let me see your   amen. Praise the Lord. Praise God. Thank you. So  grateful for so many of you that when you do come,   you come into church and you come say hi to us  over at City Light. We're so grateful for that.  While you're turning to Hebrews 11, I just  want to honor our pastors. I just want to  

say amen. I don't have really words. I've  been preaching here every year since 2019,   besides 2020. There was a little hiccup that  year, but praise the Lord. But besides that... And   every year I try to think of something. I'm just  mindful of how grateful I am for Pastor Steven and   Pastor Holly, and I just- Aren't you grateful  for your pastors? Come on, clap your hands.   The words, the songs, the books.  I'd go back to 2020, and chunks,   I think about "The Blessing." That song got me  through. It just got me through. And I could   just start naming song after song that just got  me through, sermons that just got me through.  You know what I was maybe so excited about? This  week we were in Miami, and Pastor was preaching   there, and the kids were there, and Graham did a  Living Room in Miami. I tell you what. Let me just   talk for a second. Let me tell you what. I was in  tears the whole time. Abby's leading worship. What   the heck? I remember when Abby was a year, I think  I would've met her at a year or two years old,  

now leading worship. Graham's up there  preaching. Elijah's doing an interview   and teaching and preach. And I'm just like,  "Look at the next generation rising up." I was   so stirred. I see this whole youth section over  here on fire for God. Come on, clap your hands.  I just tell you... And I wrote Pastor Steven and  Pastor Holly, and I said, "Thanks for being great   parents. You inspired me tonight," as they  were ministering, and I was watching Pastor   Steven and Holly just smiling, just watching.  And again, just impacted again by their life   and by their ministry. I just want to say thank  God for our pastors. Thank God for this house.   And how many know the best is yet to come? Come  on, we're just getting started. Twenty years in,   we're just getting started, and so  are you. Can you say amen, everybody?  I'm going to read a passage of scripture, Hebrews  11:8. One little verse, and then we're going to   have church today. Will you help me preach  a little bit? Yeah. All right. I'm going to   yell. If you don't yell back, it's going to be  awkward. "It was by faith that Abraham obeyed   when God called him to leave home and go to  another land that God would give him as his  

inheritance." Now, let me just stop real quick.  These are all faith phrases. "It was by faith   Abraham obeyed," that's faith. "When God called  him," hearing God, that's faith. To leave home,   that's faith. To go to another land, that's faith.  That God would give, he receives an inheritance,   that's faith. That's all faith, but now I'm going  to give you my favorite faith phrase in the Bible:   "He went without knowing where he was going."  Ooh, and I want to preach about that today for   a little bit. I know God can, and I know God will,  but I don't know how. I know God can, and I know   God will, but I don't know how. And I believe  today God's going to help us walk by faith.  Father, I thank you for the gift  of faith that is on this house,   and I thank you today. You're going to strengthen  our faith, and our response in advance is yes.   In Jesus' name, and everybody said amen. Amen.  One more time, every location, clap your hands and   give God praise. Come on. Amen and amen. You can  be seated. Look at your neighbor and tell them,   "I don't know how." Just tell them, "I don't  know." "I don't know how. I don't know how."  God invites his children into a life of faith.  This is the possibility of every believer, 2  

Corinthians 5:7, that we can walk by faith and not  by sight. Let me just say this. Before you are a   Christian, you've never walked by faith. You only  walk by sight. You only walk by the five senses.   But now that you are a believer, we have  an opportunity to do something that we've   never done before, and that is walk by faith.  That we don't just live by the five senses,   we don't just live by circumstance, we don't just  live by what we can see, but we now get to live in   an unseen realm called the life of faith. God is  inviting us into this, and let me just say this:   most Christians will never truly experience  the joy, the adventure, the peace of walking   by faith. But God is inviting us into this walk. See, eyesight shows me what is. Regret shows me   what could've been. But faith shows me what could  be. And I just want you to know, right now, we are   living in one of those three areas as I speak.  Eyesight, it just shows me the obvious. It takes   no faith to see. It takes no faith to talk about  what I'm already experiencing. A lot of times,   we just walk by regret. We just live in what  could've been. "Oh, man, if I would've, if I  

could've, if I should've. Man, if I'd have bought  Bitcoin when it was $0.10." Come on, somebody.   "I should've done this, I should've done  that, I should've..." Whatever it could   be. And so many believers end up living their  entire life really not believing. They just   end up in eyesight, and they end up in regret. But there is a third place that we can live.   It's called faith. It's called the unseen. It is  called a place of what could be and what should   be. And I've never been there before, but I  feel like the Holy Spirit is calling me into   something that I've actually never seen before  or experienced before. I have no reference for   it. See, when you're walking by eyesight, when  you're walking by regret, you can always look   back and have a reference point for what you  should expect for tomorrow. So it's been bad,   it's going to be bad. It is bad, it's going  to be bad. You always have a reference point,   a worst case scenario of what has been, that is  lying to you, telling you what could always be.  But faith shows me something, and reveals  something, and tells me something that I've   never been in before. The only reference point  I have for tomorrow is Jesus himself, because   he is the God who was and is, but he is to come,  and he is inviting me into something that I've   never seen before, I've never lived in before,  but something in my spirit says my best days are  

still in front of me, and God still has a plan for  me. Come on, everybody say faith. Faith. We walk   by faith. Yeah. Walk by faith. Oh, it's one thing  to talk faith, and it's another thing to believe,   but it's another thing when your faith gets in  your feet. That's where the real joy comes. Do   me a favor. Everybody just kind of stomp a little  bit. Can I hear your feet? Can I hear your feet?   That's when you know you're really in faith, when  it starts getting in your feet. Yeah. When your   walk starts changing, and when God starts calling  you into a place that you've never been before,   but oh, this can be scary. Faith feels  risky. It's not risky, but it can feel risky.  And a lot of times, we end up not taking  a step of faith because we're waiting on   clarity. Come on. "Pastor, just pray for  me. I'm just really in a season right now   where I'm praying for clarity." Yeah. I  think a lot of us are praying for clarity,   and we need to be praying for courage. Yeah.  Yes. "Just really believing for clarity in this   next six months." I would stop praying that,  and I would just start doing something that   God's calling you to do. Amen. Come on. There have  been a lot of seasons that I prayed for clarity,   and really what I needed to be praying for was the  courage to obey the thing God's calling me to do   that is terrifying to my flesh, but my spirit  is saying, "God is calling me into something."  

Faith requires movement before manifestation,  confidence in God before clarity, and believing   before seeing. Abraham went. And I believe  that God is calling us into a life of faith.  So here's what I know about faith. Number one,  faith knows. Faith knows. The Bible said that God   called Abraham. Abraham had a word from God, and  all Abraham needed was a word from God. Friend,   all you need is a word from God, and it  could change your entire life. By the way,   that's why we should always come to church with  expectation. That's why we should always come to   church with a Bible. That's why we should always  come to church leaning in. We're not just here to   check a box, but we're here to have an encounter  with God, because we know that one word from God,   one little phrase from a song, one little prayer  that someone might pray for you, something might   happen in your life that changes your entire  life. One word from God. Abraham got a word,   and it changed his life, and I believe you  can get a word that changes your life. Yes.  There's an old preacher, F.F. Bosworth, he's  in heaven now, but he said that, "Faith begins   where the will of God is known." That once God  can reveal it to me, now faith can begin to be   birthed in my heart. And that's why the word  of God is so important to us. "That man shall   not live by bread alone," Jesus said, "but every  word that comes from the mouth of God." That means  

that there is an entire way of living that goes  beyond bread alone, goes beyond the natural alone,   goes beyond what you can see alone. There is a  place called faith that can sustain you and can   cause you to go... See, that's what sustained  Jesus for 40 days. For 40 days, he didn't eat,   but he had the word. Yeah. Yeah. And see, any  time the enemy can keep us ignorant in a place,   he can keep us bound in that place. Yeah. But if  I can get the word on it, I can get freedom in   that area. And this is why the word matters. Can  I just talk about this in 2026? That's why you   ought to read the Bible. Come on, somebody. Come  on. That's why whenever you read the scripture,   something supernatural happens in your life. Yes.  Something begins to change on the inside. "Well,   I read the Bible, and I don't feel like I  understood it." I promise it's working. "Well, I   read the Bible this morning, and I don't remember  anything I read." I promise it's working. Just   keep showing up to the book. Just keep eating.  I promise it is doing something in your life.  By faith, we understand, this is so  powerful, Hebrews 11:3, "By faith,   we understand that the entire universe  was formed at God's command," watch this,   "that what we see did not come from anything that  can be seen." Let me just say that one more time,   that what we see, you see it now, but it didn't  come from the seen. Oh, yeah. You see it now,  

but it didn't start there. It actually started in  the invisible. Yeah. Oh, you see Elevation now.   Come on. Come on. But you didn't see it when it  was a dream in the heart of our pastors. Amen. You   see all this, but it didn't start here. It didn't  start in the seen. It started in the unseen. Yes.   You see that great marriage now, but it didn't  start there. It started in the unseen. You see   that family serving the Lord now, but it didn't  start there. It started in the unseen. You see   that person in business now, but it didn't start  there. It started in the unseen. That you see that   person on fire for God now, but it didn't start  there. Everything that God does always begins in   the unseen. It begins by faith. It begins with  a vision. It begins with a picture. And I just   want to declare God's going to give you a word.  God's going to give you a vision. God's going to   give you a picture that right now it would make  no sense, but if you don't give up on the Word,   eventually you will see what you couldn't see. Everything we can see began in the unseen. Let   me go a little bit further here, Colossians 1:16,  "For by him, all things were created." All things   were created. Now he's going to explain what  things are. "In heaven and on Earth," watch this,   "visible and invisible." What are things? Some  things are visible, some things are invisible,  

and to God, they're both things. So we only  appreciate the things we can see. Right. But God   is more into the things that cannot be seen, that  are going to eventually do something in our life,   that eventually we will see. If you can see it  today, it began in the unseen. I'm talking about   faith knows. I'm talking about getting a word from  God. I'm talking about I am going after God. I   am believing for a move of God in my life. I've  gotten a word from God, but I don't see it yet.   That's okay, because that thing that God spoke  to you that you don't see is as real to God as   the things that you can see. Yeah. And it has to  get that real in your spirit before you ever see   it with your eyes. And we only appreciate what  can be seen, but God appreciates the unseen. Yes.  In 1971, Walt Disney World opened in Orlando,  Florida. And when Walt Disney World opened in   Orlando, Florida, Lillian Disney's best friend  leaned over to her, Walt's widow, leaned over   and said, "It's such a shame Walt never got to see  this." And Lillian looked back at her and said,   "He did see it. That's why we're here." Yeah.  Walt's been dead for five years, but he saw it.  

Yeah. He saw it before we saw it. He dreamed it  before we saw it. He was walking in it before we   were walking in it. And may that be the testimony  of your family, and may that be the testimony to   your children that mama saw something, Daddy  saw something, they got something from heaven,   and because they saw it and because they believed  it, though it was invisible, now we are walking   in something that our parents believed for. Yeah.  He did see it. Don't give up on the word God spoke   to you. Don't give up on the dream God put in  your spirit. Don't give up on the thing that God   promised you, though it is taking longer than you  expected, and it always will. Yes. That's right.   God's doing something in your life. Yeah. In 171 Peter 1:23, Peter talks about the   scripture, and he says this: "We've been born  again, not of corruptible seed," but watch this,   "incorruptible through the word of God, which  lives and abides." Here's what Peter's saying,   he's saying the word is incorruptible seed. That  means every time the Word goes in you, it's doing   something in your life. I don't see it today,  but it's working. Yeah. I don't feel it today,   but it's working. Haven't seen a breakthrough  yet, but it's working. Even when I can't see it,   you're working. Yeah. Isn't that so much  easier to sing than to live? Come on,  

somebody. Yeah. Even when I don't feel it,  you're working. You never stop working. Man,   that is so good to sing on a Sunday morning. It  is so hard to live on a Monday morning. Come on,   somebody. Yeah. But God's word is working. I want to show you a place right by where   I live in Vegas. It's called Death Valley. This  is the hottest and the lowest point in America,   and it's the hottest place in the world.  That's where I live, y'all. That's my backyard,   actually. That's a picture of my backyard. I  don't know. If you ever want to see where I live,   that's where I live. And so right now, it's  like a squillion degrees, and I don't know,   it's hot and it's brutal. So that's Death Valley.  Every once in a while, it'll rain in Death Valley.   It's very rare, but when it does, Death Valley  turns into a field of flowers. Because what you   couldn't see in picture number one is that there  was seed in the ground. That seed's been working.   That incorruptible seed has been working. I don't  see it yet, but when the rain of the Spirit of   God touches my life, all of the sudden, something  begins to work in my life. And I declare the rain  

is falling on your life. I declare you will see  what you've been praying for. You will see what   you've been believing. Don't give up yet. God  is working. Come on, give God a big shout of   praise if you believe that the Word works. Haven't seen it yet, but I'm standing on a   word. Come on. My life don't look like right  now what God told me, but I'm standing on a   word. Yes. God put something in my spirit, and  my circumstances do not agree, but I'm standing   on a word. Yes. And my life might look like Death  Valley right now, but it's actually not dead, it's   just dormant. But I believe the rain's going to  fall in my life. Yeah. Y'all, faith will make you   look like a genius eventually. But at first, it  makes you look like a fool. Yes. You get a word,   you're believing God, and nothing agrees. That's  right. Yeah. And then one day, one day you see   it. Yeah. And then we call those people overnight  successes. That's right. But we didn't see the   years, and the years, and the years of believing  God. I've just come today to tell somebody,   do not quit yet. The word is working. Faith knows. Number two, faith doesn't know. Dang. I wish that  

wasn't true, but it's true. Oh, faith knows.  Faith gets a word from God. Faith stands on the   authority of scripture. Faith does not know the  details. I know God can, and I know God will, but   I don't know how. I know God can, and I know God  will, but I don't know how. Wow. He went without   knowing where he was going. Can you imagine that  moment? Abraham comes into the tent, "Hey, baby,   pack up. We on the move. God spoke to me." Sarah  goes, "Wow, that's great. Where are we going?" "I   don't know." "Is that the same God that told you  we were going to have kids?" "Yeah. Him. Come on,   let's go." Felt like a fool. Felt like, "Where  is God?" But faith goes without knowing. I don't   need to know. God knows. And anything God is  not telling me right now, I guess I don't need   to know. The Bible said it like this, that  the secret things belong to God. So anything   God is keeping a secret from me is obviously  to protect me. Yeah. He went without knowing.  And we want God to show us everything. I just  want to submit this to you: if God showed   you everything, you wouldn't do anything,  because it would freak you the freak out.  

So thy word is a lamp unto my feet. Yeah. This  little word lamp right there, I don't want to   bore you, but it's a little hand lamp that they  would hold like this, like a little candle. They   say it was four to six lumens. So your iPhone  is like 100 lumens, 200 lumens. We're talking   about step-by-step. Wow. "God, show me more." "You  can't handle it. I can't even show you five feet   in front of you, let alone five years in front of  you. So I have to give you enough to take a step.   Go left." "Okay. All right." "Go forward." "Okay."  "Take a step back, relax." "Okay." "Go right."   "Okay." Here we go. And it feels slow. Yeah. But  God's actually protecting me. It feels longer   than I expected, but God is actually covering me.  The Bible would say it like this in King James,   so it sounds really pretty, "Though the  vision tarries." Yeah. Come on, King James   people. That's just a really cute, poetic, King  James way of saying, "This is going to take a   while." But I'm going step by step. The walk of  faith is a walk. Yeah. God just wants a walk.  Faith doesn't know. I want God to show  me everything. You can't handle it. You   don't have the faith for that yet. God can't  show you what life is going to be like in 10  

years. You don't have that faith yet. You have  today's faith. Jesus said, "Don't worry about   tomorrow." Today's got enough issues. Yes. You've  got enough faith to get through the next 24 hours,   and then tomorrow morning, you will have  the faith for those 24 hours. Yes. Man,   you've got to settle this in your heart. In 2018, we planted our church in Las Vegas,   and God showed me. I saw the building. I saw the  worshipers coming. I saw the impact we would make.   I saw it. I saw it. God showed me that. God  gave me enough faith to believe that God could   do something big in Vegas. God showed me that in  2018. You know what God didn't show me in 2018?   God didn't show me COVID. Yeah. God didn't show me  that year. I wasn't ready for that. Yeah. If God,   in 2018, would've showed me COVID, I would've  never started our church. Yeah. I'd have been   working here, I'll tell you right now. I'd have  called Chunks and said, "Do you need a janitor?   Do you need a facilities director? What can I  do for you? I'm here to serve. Amen. I'm just   a humble servant." I wouldn't have done it. So  God had to... He didn't lie to me, but He had to   give me just enough of a word to cause me to move  without showing me too much because it would have  

overwhelmed me. Yes. So God doesn't lie to us, but  God doesn't give us all the details either. Yes.  I love the names of God, Jehovah Jireh, my  provider. Man, I love that. I love Jehovah Rapha,   my healer. I love these beautiful names  of God. There's another name, though,   that they need to add to that  song, "Call the Name." You know,   the "Jehovah Nissi fights your battles." There's  another name. You got to be deep in the Hebrew,   though. It's only in Leviticus. It's  Jehovah Sneaky. Y'all ever met Jehovah   Sneaky? Yeah. Jehovah Sneaky be getting you into  battles. "Jehovah Sneaky got me in a battle."   He didn't lie. He just didn't  give me all the information,   because if He would've given me too much info,  I would've never done anything. Yeah. "God,   I wasn't expecting this." "I know you weren't  ready for this, but now that you're in it,   I'm going to give you the grace and  the faith to overcome a battle you   would have never walked into unless I got  you here." Come on, somebody say "amen."  Think about Joseph. "Yo, Joe, you want to lead  a nation?" "Yeah!" "You want your hater brothers   to bow down?" "Yes, I've been waiting for this  moment." "All right, cool. Let's go." God just  

didn't tell him about the pit. Just didn't tell  him about Potiphar's wife. Just didn't tell him   about the prison. God just left out the next 13  years of training for reigning that was going   to get Joseph ready for his place and his  promise. And I just want somebody to know,   you're in training right now, but don't  give up. You're in process right now,   but don't give up. You might be in a pit right  now, but don't give up. God is working, and God   knows exactly where you're at, even when you don't  know where God is at. Yeah. He is Jehovah Sneaky.  "Hey, Ezekiel, can these bones live?"  I love what Ezekiel says back. Again,   just so spiritual. "Lord, you know,"  which is Ezekiel's way of saying,   "I don't know." Yeah. And I like living  there. I like being right there. "Lord,   you know. I don't know, but you know. I'm  surprised you're not surprised. I didn't   expect this, but you're working, and you're  moving." Yeah. Faith knows. Faith doesn't know. 

Number three: faith goes. Faith goes. Faith moves.  And the Bible said that Abraham went. I just want   to ask a simple question, and I'd love for you to  wrestle with this if you're taking notes today.   If you haven't taken one note, this would be a  good one: what is God asking you to do? Do it,   and stop being scared to obey God. The  devil will convince you that obedience   is a risk. Wow. But obedience is never a risk.  It feels like a risk, but it's not a risk. What   is God asking you to do? I love what Mary said  to the servants. Look what she said about Jesus:   "Whatever He says to you, do it." Whatever. Is it time to start serving in this house? Do   it. Is it time to start giving financially to  this house? Do it. Is it time to forgive that   person? Do it. Is it time to make it right in that  relationship? Do it. Is it time to make the call?   Do it. Is it time to get married? Do it. Some of  y'all been living together for 18 years, you're   praying about getting married? Do it. "We're  just still making sure." Dog, it's been a minute.   There's a conviction at Ballantyne right  now, we need to move on. Is it time to  

start having kids? Do it. "We don't know if  we're ready." You're not. You're not ready to   have children. Do it. Is it time to get water  baptized? Do it. What is God asking you to do?  Every act of obedience, it always leads to God's  blessing, it leads to answers, it leads to wisdom,   it leads to better. Eventually, it  leads to better. Proverbs 4:18, that,   "The path of the righteous is like the dawn."  Watch this: it's getting brighter and brighter.   Here's what I've learned, that if I walk with  God, I'll have the team come. If I walk with God,   eventually it's getting brighter and brighter. Not  worse and worse, not darker and darker, brighter   and brighter. But it can feel so scary to obey  God. What's God asking of you? Give it to Him.  I have a nine-year-old daughter. She's turning  10 in a couple of months, Goldie, and every once   in a while, we realize she's outgrown her toys.  Any parents in the house? She starts outgrowing   things, so we start packaging these toys, and we  start getting them in bags and boxes because we're   going to bless a family with younger children.  And JJ, I'll pull a toy out of her closet that has  

not seen the light of day in five years, and I'll  pull it out because we're going to give it away,   and the moment she sees it, she goes, "Dad, I've  been looking for that. That's my favorite toy,   Dad." "Homie, you haven't seen that toy in five...  I love that toy." "I have to keep that toy."   We'll find clothes and shoes. "I love those  shoes." They are that big. "I love those   shoes." "Babe, babe, you've outgrown that. That  fit you in a season, but it's time to go. That   was good for you in one season, but it'll  hurt you in a new season. It's time to go."  But see, we pray, "God, do a new thing," until  He starts doing a new thing. And then just like   Jesus, we go, "We like the old wine better." Jesus  goes, "Nobody likes new wine in new wineskin." We   pray for change till God starts changing, because  change don't feel like change. Change feels like  

pain. "Dad, I just really think I need to keep  this. I just really think, just in case." Does   anybody have any just in cases in your soul? So I'm going to show you a picture. It's so   cheesy, but I don't care. I'm 42, and  I'm embracing the cheese season of my   ministry. Is that okay? Because I want you  to see this, because I've been there. Have   you ever been there? I can't look at that  picture without crying. But I love it, God.   And God's going, "But I'm doing a new thing. I'm  taking you to a land that you don't know." See,   you know your past. You know where you've been.  Even if it's unhealthy, at least it's familiar.   And now God's taking me into an uncomfortable  place. But I have to believe that in the exchange,   there's brighter and brighter. But I've never  been here before, God. But this is bigger than me,   but I love this. But I've outgrown this. And Abraham says, "Let's go. Never been  

where we're going, but let's go." And if  I'm willing to go without knowing, that's   where the blessing is. And maybe you're holding  onto something today going, "God, I love it."   A comfort zone, a place that maybe it's  bitterness, maybe it's unforgiveness,   maybe... I don't know. Maybe it's a relationship.  Maybe it's a season of your life that you've so   identified with it that it's become a familiar  place. And yet Jesus is saying, "I'll trade you.   You want to have an exchange? Because I promise  my way is better." And by the way, whatever act   of surrender you have to give God today, I promise  you, it won't be your last. So you might as well   just get comfortable saying yes, because He just  keeps pushing me, and leading me, and guiding me   without knowing. But that's where the joy is.  "If you want to keep your life," Jesus said,  

"you're going to lose it anyway. But if you'd lose  it," in other words, if you'd live like this, it's   all yours. You actually end up keeping it. Doesn't  make sense. It's God math. Because there really   isn't control. So the moment I yield, whatever  lie of control I've believed, there it is.  So Lord, today we choose to go without  knowing, because whatever you're leading   us into is better than where we've been.  If you just need to give something to God,   why don't you just lift up your hands and  give it to Him right now? Why don't you   just stand and give it to the Lord? Come on. Oh, come to the altar. Oh, come to the altar.   The Father's arms are open wide. Just reach out  to heaven right now. Come on. Who was bought with  

the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Oh, come to  the altar. Oh, come to the altar. Let's have an   exchange right here. The Father's arms are  open wide. Let's have an exchange right here   with heaven. Forgiveness was bought with... Give  Him your burdens, the precious blood. Give Him   your fears of Jesus Christ. Oh, come, oh,  come. Oh, come to the altar. Give Him your   care, the Father's arms. Give Him that addiction,  are open wide. Forgiveness, give Him that   worry, was bought with... Hey, the precious  blood, one more time, of Jesus Christ. Oh,   come, come to the altar. Oh, come to the altar.  The Father's arms, the Father's arms are open   wide. Yeah. Forgiveness was bought with the  precious blood. Oh, what a Savior. Oh, what   a Savior. Isn't He wonderful? Sing hallelujah.  Sing hallelujah. Christ is risen. And today we bow  

down before Him. We bow down before Him. You're  Lord of all. Lord of all. For He is Lord of all.  Come on, sing. Sing hallelujah. Hallelujah.  Christ is risen. Sing it again. Oh, oh, what   a Savior. Wonderful. Isn't He wonderful?  Sing hallelujah. Sing hallelujah.   Christ is risen. And we bow, bow down.  Bow down. Bow down before Him, for He   is Lord of all. Sing hallelujah. Christ is risen. Oh,   come to the altar. Father's arms are open  wide. The Father's arms are open wide.   Forgiveness was bought with the precious  blood of Jesus Christ. So today, Father,  

whatever we're carrying, whatever semblance  of control we're trying to keep, whatever,   "But God, I love it," whatever that is, we just  open our hands and we want to stay right here   surrendered. I've been following Jesus for 27  years, but I never want to lose this. I just   never want to lose, "God, it's all yours." I  never want to lose that. Tell me what to do,   Lord. I'll do it, because there's a joy in  obedience that I can't find anywhere else.  Just stay with me right here. There's people  that today you need to give Jesus your life.   You need to surrender your life to the Lord. You  need to become a Christian. Jesus called it being   born again, not just being a better version of  who you were, but having a brand-new creation.   "Jabin, I don't know if I'm ready." You  probably aren't. When I was 15 years old,  

I gave Jesus my yes and my life, and I had no  idea really what I was saying yes to. I just   knew who I was saying yes to. I didn't know I'd  be a preacher. I didn't know I'd be in Vegas. I   didn't know I'd be here today. I didn't know  any of that. I didn't know the valleys that   I'd walk through. I didn't know, but I knew who,  and I've never regretted that yes, 27 years later.  Would you say yes to Jesus? Just at  every location, in a place of prayer,   just bow your head, close your eyes for a moment.  To our eFam, just settle your heart for a moment.   If that's you and you would say, "I need to give  my life to Jesus." "Jabin, pray with me. I want   to give my life to Christ," or, "At one time  I did, and at one time I was walking with God,   but I've kind of lost my way. Today, I need to  come home." If that's you, pray with me. Say yes   to Jesus all over this place. We're going to all  pray together. From your heart, say this, and God   will meet you right where you're at. I'm going to  ask everybody at every location to pray with our   friends who are saying yes to Jesus right now. Everyone say, Jesus, I believe in you. I believe   you died for me. I believe you rose  again. And today, I give you my life,  

and I receive your life. I give you my  sin, and I receive your righteousness.   Jesus, be Lord and Savior of my life. Now, just please keep your eyes closed one   more moment if that was your prayer. All over  this room and at every room, from the pop-up   that's happening right now to every location,  to everyone online, to right here in Ballantyne,   if you're saying yes to Jesus, I'm going to count  to three. On three, I'm going to ask you to raise   your hand. "Jabin, do I have to raise my hand?"  I think it's important. I think it's important to   make that public declaration that says, "Hey, that  was for me, preacher. I want to become a follower   of Jesus. Today's my day. That was my prayer. You  stopped the entire service just for me. I'm giving   my life to Christ for the very first time," or  you're coming back. You're coming back to Jesus.   On three, I'm going to ask you to raise your hand,  and I believe God's going to meet you. It's going   to feel like a million pounds is lifted off your  shoulders, and you're just going to know that you   know that you're a child of God. Say yes to Jesus  today. You'll never regret it. You may not be   ready, but if you're willing, God will meet you in  this moment. Yes to Jesus, coming back to Jesus,   returning to Jesus, whoever you are. Come on, on  the count of three. One, two, and three. That was  

my prayer. Lift up your hand. God bless you.  God bless you. God bless you. God bless you.  Hey, thank you for watching the Elevation Church  YouTube. I want you to subscribe.
