Created By God and For God

Long time ago I've had a phone, same phone for a while now but the phone I had before the phone I have now I don't have upgraded phone yet so I don't know what I can and can't do but I'm sure I'll find out at some point but my second phone ago had this major issue and it would it would blink like all white like whoop whole screen, just turn white, do it real fast. And then you go, oh no. Because it's going to do it again, about two seconds later, it would do it again. And after the second time, everything would go squiggles. And you'd be like, ah, you don't know. You shake it.

That's what you do. I don't know if you remember the old days. Anybody remember a console TV by chance? I'm just safe to get anybody my age at this church. Anybody remember what that was? If you have no idea what I just said, could you just raise your hand just so I don't know? OK, thank you. A lot of those people also. The console TVs were all started. And when it didn't work, and it got squiggly lines on it, or it was fuzzy, what did you do to fix it? Does anybody remember what you did? You got up, and you just walked over there, and you just hit it a couple of times. Different size, different ways.

You poke on it, and sure enough, sooner or later, you know, things come back together. Well, I tried that with the phone, but that didn't work. And so I, you know, it's off, so I turn it back on. Everything comes back on this time you got to enter your code because, you know, you shut it all down. And then now you're doing something else, you're in the middle of a text or an email or something that's important, and then it blinks and you're like, no! Because you know it's going to blink again. And then you know it's going to go squiggles. And then you guys start the whole thing over again. And it did this for a minute.

And finally, I'm like, ah, so it's off now. I can't get it come back on this time. I have to go to another device. Hello? Anybody been there? Because I can't go on this device. I've got to go to another device. And I go in and I say, this is what's happening. And apparently, it's happening to a lot of people. Because immediately, a lot of information came up. And at the bottom of the deal, I'm just saying, how do I make it stop? Doing this. You need to reset your device

To its original factory settings. Don't want to do that. And here's how you do it. Step by step, by step. And I was like, hmm. And I just sensed Coming into 2026, and I know we've got resolution people, we've got non-resolution people, we've got some people already making modifications, we've got other people thinking about it.

To our original factory settings. I was thinking about that phrase and thinking about people, and I was thinking about this woman that Jesus had this encounter with in John chapter four, most everybody who's been in church knows this story. But I can relate to this woman in some ways, and I think everyone in church today can relate to her in some ways. Jesus is on his way, from Judea back to Galilee, and he ends up going through Samaria. And he comes to this well in the story unfolds like this, verse 4. Now we had to go through Samaria, so he came to a town in Samaria called Psycar. Now that Psycar means thieves, liars, and undesirables.

Isn't that a great name for a city to be from? Near the plotter ground, Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well, and it was about noon. Now, if we dug into this story, there's all kind of layers in this story, and the noon hour is one of them. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, will you give me a drink? His disciples had gone into the town to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him, you are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink for Jews do not associate with Samaritans?

And Jesus answered her, if you knew the gift of God, I just want to underscore this today, what God is warning for you in 2026 is to give you a gift. because he's a giver and not a taker. He doesn't need anything that you have.

He can do everything that you can do by himself. What he wants to do in 2026 is to give you of himself things that are better for you. Now, you may have to drop some other things by the wayside for that to happen, but primarily he is about giving a gift to you. If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him talking about himself and he would have given you living water. Now, just another thing to footnote here, Jesus is in a zone of ministry where he's trying to keep his identity on the downbow. But with this woman, he's coming right out of the gate saying, hey, you're talking to someone who can do amazing things.

You're looking at a miracle man. You're in the presence of having a conversation with somebody who can change your life. You would have asked him and he would have given you living water. Now, why is he shifted from, I'm thirsty from the trip to, if you ask me, I'll give you living water because he knows this woman. How does he know this woman? He shouldn't even be in Samaria. He shouldn't be talking to Samaritan in general. He shouldn't be talking to a woman in this culture. What is going on here? Sir, the woman said to him, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father, Jacob?

Yes. who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock. And he said to her, everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water that I give them. See, he's coming on out with it, will never thirst. In other words, he's saying there's two kinds of thirst in people. There's a physical thirst and there's an inside thirst. There's an outside thirst, but there's something deeper in every person than also thirst. But whoever drinks the water, I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water, I give them will become in them a spring of water, welling up to eternal life. And the woman said to him, Sir, give me this water.

So that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water. She only knew about one thirst and wasn't really in touch with the other thirst in her life and she was getting the message mixed up and thinking, oh, so you're saying you can give me something and I don't have to bring my jug out here at noon again? Now the noon thing, by the way, was not when you went to get water

Unless you didn't want to be seen by people. The new hour is when you slipped into the well. When it was hot outside, not in a morning when a normal person would go to the well. This woman was here at a weird time a day because she was in a very difficult season of life. And he's about to make that crystal clear when he said, okay, I'll give you the water but go call your husband and come back.

I have no husband. He said, that's right. When you say you have no husband, the fact is, you've had five husbands. And the guy you're with now is not your husband. So what you have just said is quite true.

Sir, I can see that you're a prophet. What a line, duh. And so the conversation gets really interesting right here. So you would think she would go, how do you know about Bob? But she shifts. I don't know if it's a joke, a dodge. I don't know if it's like,

Okay, what can I come up with? But she comes up with a theological question. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you just claimed that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem. And so Jesus clarifies for. Woman, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father, so it's not where you worship, it's about who you worship. neither on this mountain or in Jerusalem. Can we just say that's a nice message for today if you don't get anything else out of the talk. It's not about where you go to worship, it's about who you worship.

Use some inheritance worship, what you do not know, we worship what we do know for salvation. It's from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers, so they're real worshippers and they're fake worshippers. The true worshipers will worship the father, they're gonna know who they worship, and here's how. In the spirit, so this is gonna be an internal situation going on, and in truth. In other words, their life, their words, their attitude, their actions, all of it is gonna match up by the power of the spirit, and that's gonna be their worship. They're the kind of worshipers the father seeks. In other words, in 2026, God is looking for worshipers.

Not because he needs more worship. When you've got 10,000 times, 10,000 angels, and we did the math a few weeks ago, it's 100 million, you don't need you to add to the worship.

God is seeking worshipers because you need God to be the center of your affection. and he knows that's the very best gift that he can give to you. He is seeking worshipers to seek him in spirit and truth because he is spirit and his worshipers must worship in the spirit and in truth. When the woman said, I know that Messiah called Christ is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us. In other words, that was a good answer, but when Messiah comes, He'll break it all down. And then Jesus declared, I, the one speaking to you, I am He. And just then, just in time, as they always did, the disciples returned. And they were surprised to see him talking with a woman.

But no one asked, what do you want, or why are you talking to her? And then leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and sent to the people. This blows my mind. I've been looking at this verse for a long, long, long time. She went back to the town. And she engaged all the people. That was not her norm. She's at the well by herself at noon on purpose. Now she's back in the town saying, hey everybody, come around. And here was her testimony. You were like, man, I bet she had a great testimony. Yeah, here it was. Come see a man who told me everything I ever did could this be the Messiah.

So they came out of the town and made their way toward him. Now I would have thought if she came back into the town and said, hey, there's a guy at the well and he just told me about everything I've ever done. You should come see him. I'd be like, I think I'll pass.

But they went. Something about her was telling them we should go. So apparently she wasn't crushed under condemnation, smashed the smithereens by shame, something had happened to her. And her testimony was, there's a guy at the well, I think he's the Messiah. Well, what do you think he's the Messiah? He talks on a level higher than humans do.

He knew me. He looked straight through me. He knew everything about me. He told me stuff about my life. Then nobody else knows about my life. This guy, and then I asked him about the whole worship thing we've been talking about. He broke that down in a heartbeat. This guy is different. And the people in the town went out to Jesus. Now, there's a lot to unpack in this story, but here's what I want us to see in this story. Jesus, when he saw this woman, knew that she did not need relationship advice.

She needed a reset. She needed to understand her original factory settings. And I wonder if maybe we do as well. We're going to talk about them over the next few weeks, but the main that I believe God wants all of us to get our hearts around today is the same reset that she got in touch with on that day. And it's found in Colossians chapter 1, verse 16, this whole text beginning in verse 15 and down is one of the great texts about Jesus and all of scripture. but it says in verse 16, for in him and the him here is Jesus, all things were created. Things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities, all things, all of them.

That includes me and you. Have been created through him, some translations, I think, say, more accurately by him, and for him.

For in Jesus all things were created and all things have been created by Jesus and for Jesus. And that is your original factory setting. You have been created by God and created for God. And when you go through the instructions and get back to the original factory setting that you came out of the womb with, that's your setting, created by God and created for God.

So what does that mean? It means a few obvious things. Number one, it means that you're created, that you're not random. that you were thought through in the mind of God.

The philosophy the day wants us all to onboard some version of an idea that we're all random.

But God is saying when you get back to your original factory setting, your original factory setting is created. and not just created, but created by God. So this answers the number one and the number two questions that humans have in one truth. Am I valuable and do I matter? Yes, you were created by God. Why am I on earth? You were created by God for God. So there's your existence and your value and your purpose in life all in one truth. And that's your original factory setting. Just because you're created, by the way, doesn't mean that you're valuable. When I was working on this talk, I was in my study. And over on a bookshelf over there is a jar that I made in the

Pottery class in middle school. Did anybody take that class in middle school? Did anybody make anything? Anybody can show a hand. I like to see if anybody remembered that. Yeah, great. I made a paradise and a jar. I don't know what that says. But the jar is still there. It's on the shelf. It's been there a long time. It is the ugly looking thing you've ever seen. It's terrible. I don't even know why it's still over there. I guess just because it survived.

I created it. But it ain't all that valuable. Now, it probably has some sentimental value to somebody, but just because you're created doesn't necessarily mean that much. But then I look behind me when I'm working on this talk. So there's the jar over there. I look behind me, and you guys have all seen this before, but this abstract painting is on the wall right behind me. And long long story, everybody's heard it. Sherry Shelley shared it at the Grove. I've talked about it and preached about it. My dad, you know, commercial artist, designer, package design primarily, but he had all this stuff down inside of him. So every now and then, he'd stay at work on a weekend and come home with some piece of abstract art.

This one happened to be about nine feet tall and about this wide. My mom hated every single thing about it and their compromise was my dad took it out on the back patio of our condo and sawed the bottom off of it and sawed a whole chunk off of the side of it. I don't know where the chunk off of the side of it went but I know where that went and when my dad passed away I was helping my mom clean out their condo and in the coat closet down in the foyer of their condo, behind my mom's bowling ball. I'm just putting a timestamp on this whole talk today, just because some older people like to know at Passion City Church are so welcome here.

Behind her bowling ball and my dad's golf clubs, that's what was in the coat closet. up against the wall and the back of it was that when we cut it off the bottom of the painting. Shelly and I were living in Texas at the time. And I was heartbroken because I'm losing my dad and this made me feel a real strong emotional connection to him. And I took it to Texas, got it framed, put on the wall in my office of our ministry in Texas. I loved it because people would walk it and they go, what the heck is that? It looks like somebody threw up on your wall.

And my dad did that before he got a brain virus and died. I know it was terrible, but I did it to a lot of people. I did. I did that a lot.

The rest of it is in a different place in our house on a bigger wall. But this is where I work.

And what I love about it, even though it is nothing, unless you know what all the rest of it is, you know it's the bottom of something. But I love that when you zoom in on it,

My dad went by Lou. We called him Big Lou. You can see where my dad signed it.

And what God is wanting to help us see today is when you zoom in on your life, God's signature is on you. You're not just created, although that's life-changing. You're not accidental, incidental, random, expendable. You're created, but you're not just created, you're created through Jesus, Colossian says, by God. You have the signature of

The Almighty on your life. And that is where your worth comes from. That's where your value comes from.

Your worth is intrinsic in the sense that you were made by God. created by God. The way the Psalmist wrote it was for you created my inn most being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. So before you owned a company, before you raised a family, before you drove such and such a truck, before you accomplished whatever GPA you accomplished, before you climbed a mountain, before you did anything good or horrible.

The God of all creation was knitting you together in your mother's womb. The psalmist has a revelation of this and says, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. I know that full well. Now listen, I know it's New Year new me.

You need to forget that. And you need to go back to, in my mother's womb, knitted by God. In my mother's womb, created by God. In my mother's womb, the idea of God. In my mother's womb, God was the one who thought about my life. God is the one who designed my life. And yes, New Year, new me. But you can't improve on the, in the womb, God Almighty created me.

And I'm not talking today about self-affirmation and giving ourselves a pep talk and putting ourselves at the center of the world. But I am saying today that I would guess there are a lot of people in this gathering who don't look like who you see when you look in the mirror.

And it may be that you need a reset to understand my frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. And all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. I'm created, but

Created by God, but why? four God. All things have been created by God and four God. So your main purpose, my main purpose in life is spiritual. Hello. Am I here? My main purpose is spiritual. I have stewardship over the temporal, but my main purpose is spiritual.

When God knit me together in my mother's womb, he didn't say, you're gonna be such a good communicator. And that is why I'm knitting you together. He said, no, I'm knitting you together for a relationship with me. So how do you boil all that down? It means that the goal of my life is to know God and to make him known. Once this woman realized there was a spiritual thirst going on, that there was something under the surface going on, that she needed to know that her worth and her value were not all wrapped up in what He said, or what she said, or even what she said about herself, that her worth was wrapped up in a loving God who dreamed her up in her mother's womb and brought her into this world.

And once she knew that, she wanted to communicate that, to know God and to make him known. This is a original factory setting. So if that's the original factory setting, what would the enemies plan look like for your life? It would look like two things. Number one, it would look like you letting others or success or failure or the season of life you're in or yourself define your worth.

That would be the enemies plan for you. or secondly, that you would make your purpose not to know God, you would make your purpose to do whatever it takes to reinforce or fortify wherever you're getting your worth. So if you're getting your worth from your work, I'm gonna double down on my work in 2026. If I'm getting my worth from my family, double down on family, 2026, so I'm getting my worth from some accomplishment, it's gonna double down on accomplishing things in 2026. because I've let some body or some success or some failure or myself define my worth, versus going back to my original

Factory setting. And so for a lot of us, the screen's flashing. And then it's all squiggly, and then you gotta start over again and punch the code back in, and things go for a little while. But the screen flashes, and then it gets all squiggly, and here's the deal. You don't need to tap on the side of the phone. You don't need to go down and get a new phone. You need to get back to the original factory settings of your life. And what does that look like? It looks like a word that is one of the most freeing words in Scripture, and it's the word repent.

I know when you hear that word, all kinds of things go through your mind. But this phrase right here, this is beautiful. This is the first public thing that Jesus said when he started his ministry. The first word that came out of his mouth when he started his public ministry was repent. Why? For the kingdom of God is at hand.

Not repent because it's all hellfire and brimstone coming down. No, repent. God is here. Repent. The kingdom is here. And what does repent mean? It means reset. It means return. It means go back. Look for Eden. Remember Eden when I breath into you the breath of life? Remember that, and let's try to get back there. Let's try to get back to the original factory setting. Let's go back. This is what Joel too was about. This is a heart of passion, by the way, for many, many years. In Joel, the bigger picture was the people that forsaken God, and he sent a plague to them in the form of locust in one wave, ate everything. The next wave ate a little bit that was left.

The third wave just came along, and just if there was one little shred of something on the ground, they ate that.

And then he's saying, but it didn't have to be that way. Your 2026 does not have to be a wipe out.

Well, how do I not have it be a wipe out? Even now, chapter 2, verse 12, declares the Lord, return. There's that word. Return to me with all your heart. with fasting and weeping and mourning, render your heart and not your garments. What does that mean? It means this is not about an exterior superficial modification. Oh Lord, we're so sorry. We're gonna tear our garments and show you that we really do want more of you in 2026. He's gone now. You can save the garments. Thank you very much. I'm looking for somebody's gonna open their heart up.

Return, there it is again, to the Lord. How do you reset? You return. Return to the Lord, you're God. Why would I want to do that? Because he's gracious and he's compassionate and he's slow to anger praise God and he's abounding in love and he relents this God does from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and relit and leave behind a blessing, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the Lord your God. This is the woman at the well. Who knows? He may show up one day and go, you know what?

Weddings, the five failures, the five divorces, that's all in the past. No, no, no. There's going to be consequences and fallout. Yeah, but that's all in the past. Bob, he's not your guy either. But listen, I am your guy and I can give you living water. It is going to satisfy something in you that no other relationship could. It's going to answer the question you've been asking that you didn't even know how to frame the question and where the locust have done the wipeout, I'm going to leave behind a blessing and there's going to be such a blessing that there'll be enough grain and enough wine for you to give an offering to God. Why? Because you are created by God

And created for God. Your life is to be an offering holy and pleasing to God.

That means for some of us, we're gonna have to leave some stuff behind. I heard a pastor say recently, focusing on what matters means we must decide what does it matter.

And I thought about that lady. She left her jar. She's so blown away by what just happened. I gotta get to town. I gotta tell people about this man. It's like, excuse me, your jar, I didn't even think about the jar. Just focused on the fact that something is new.

I'm gonna come down and close and just encourage you today for someone here today. 2026 is about you embracing your created worth.

And for somebody else, and for really all of us, it's about making your purpose for this year that you would let nothing stand in the way of your relationship

With the one who created you. You would raise the standard of your expectation that I'm going to be a godly woman in 2026. I'm going to be a woman after God's own heart. I'm going to be what was said about David. I'm going to be a man after God's

Own heart. And I'm not letting anything stand in the way of my relationship with God. I'm going to embrace my created worth and I am not going to let anything or anybody stand in the way of my relationship with God. We heard at conference from John Tyson about Gen Z, we talked about it here.

A lot of pastors are reading a report that just came out a few weeks ago about the new trends for church in 2026. Some of them are very encouraging. Some of them are very discouraging. One of the encouraging ones is that once again, Gen Z has changed the game and church attendance among Gen Z is up and is

The highest of any demographic in America in terms of attending church regularly. is Gen Z.

That's the good news. I'm not sure how I feel about it news is, is the exceptionally high number, and this is not about Gen Z, because if you're a millennial, you're lower than this. That sounded terrible when I did that. You're lower than this. Gen X, you're lower than that. If you're a boomer, you're lower than that. And if you're whatever they call the people above boomers, you're, well, obviously it's just hard to get places.

So if you're not Gen Z, you should really take this to heart. But the good news right now, some of the best news is that Gen Z is the highest attending

Demographic on average of coming to church. And they're coming to church 1.9 times a month. So normally, we have gathered here to worship, gathered here to see people get saved, gathered here to encounter God. in the great assembly, gather here to lift up shouts to heaven, gather here to think about ways we can serve our city, gather here to open God's word and let it shape our lives four times in a month.

1.9 of those, Gen Zs here. And if you're Millennial Gen X, you're below that.

That's tough for a shepherd to get his head around. But what John Tyson said that just, I think, shot through global I field,

He said, is Gen Z really want to be satisfied that they're the highest attending demographic at 1.9 times a month or does Gen Z want to raise the bar and say, we want to go after God way more than that?

And of course, you're in a stadium full of people who've been standing outside since before the sun came up and haven't slept 45 minutes in the last two days because they're hungry for God. And they're like, oh yeah, we want to raise the standard. We want to raise the bar. But what I'm asking today are there people at Passion

City Church, not just at Passion 2026, who want to raise the bar this year and raise the standard and say, I want to be A man after God's own heart. I want to be a woman after God's own heart. You know why? Not because I should, not because I ought to, not because somebody told me I needed to because I was created for it.

That's why I have breath in my lungs. Let me just close and preach to the men just for a minute because I'm a man. If a woman was preaching this message today, she would do this section slightly different, because she would know way better than me exactly how to articulate it.

But if you put a bunch of men in a room, around a fire pit,

In a rural, cool library, if you're more in the Renaissance flair, here are the things that would be discussed. Guarantee, men, you don't need amen. But do just wink, maybe, or give me a little nod toward the end if I'm close. You'd be talking about Tai Chi chair workouts, especially if you're my demographic. That's all it's in my feed. They know I need it and they know I don't really want to go to the gym. And so apparently this man is telling me now that all I have to do is Tai Chi and my family will not recognize me by the end of January.

You're talking about your portfolio, your lifted truck, your belly tuck, your sports teams, where you got tickets, how you got passes, who you know that has box seats, your beer with the boys, your quarter zip, your athletes, your tire, anything best pro shop, your audio system, your cocktail choice, whether you're dealing with hair loss, gave up, still in it, what you're doing, corporate connections, The deals that have been done, the stuff that's own your collections, your family, your lawns, your toys, your guns, your bikes, your boats, your ATVs, your skis, your boats, your drivers, your wedges, your houses, your status with the airline. I just got my thing in the mail. I've got to do whatever.

You're talking about your 401k or your Roth IRA. You're talking about the leadership podcast you listen to, your watches, your wallet, your workout, your resume, your pit botch, your trailer, your smoke, or your green egg, your pellet process. The things you compete at, your par five, your paddle game, your pickleball, your hoops, your consoles, your video games, your shops, your tools, your Renaissance vibes, your experiences, where you went, how you got there, who you knew, how you got in, what you liked about it, the good reads.

Gotta get a nod, wink. Ladies and gentlemen, you understand what your list looks like, right?

Gotta get that fit in. And all that is fine. But none of it is your original factory setting. And preaching to the women and to the men

And I'm asking the question, does anybody in 2026 wanna go back to the simplicity of, I was created by God, and I was created for God. And if I'm gonna do anything in 2026, and I may do a whole bunch of that stuff in 2026, but if I'm gonna do anything in 2026, I'm gonna be a revival man.

I swear, don't get in between me and God doing a revival in my life because if you do, I will

Have to draw a line in the sand and say, I'm sorry. because I'm not letting anything get between me and my relationship with God this year. I want to be the man that it is said about me. I am a man after God's own heart. I am a woman after God's own heart. What does that look like? I'm closing. It looks like being a servant, man. A servant of other people and a servant of God's house. You can't do that showing up 1.9 times a month. It means being a Bible consumer. I don't want to own one. I love the app. I just went and spoke for their next billion celebration in Oklahoma a few weeks ago, Shelley and I were there.

I love everything about having a Bible on my phone. I look at it every single day of my life. But I want this word to get into my life and I'm not just looking for a preacher to give me a talk, a podcast to give me a sound bite. Somebody that can go online while I'm washing the dishes and listen to for a second. I want to get in this for myself. If God went to the miracle of putting his heart on paper, I want to get into the pages and I want to consume this word in 2026. And I invite you to join me.

I started somewhere in November to memorize first John, the whole book five chapters, 105 verses, by passion, I didn't make it. But I got two down. The first chapter is a shorter one, so I'm going to leave that till later. I got chapter two. I got chapter three down. I got half a chapter four down. And if you've ever memorized the whole book of the Bible, it's a piece of work. because you have to go back to the beginning and then go all the way down, back to the beginning, all the way down, back to the beginning, all the way down. On a normal flow day, when I'm working here and traveling back and forth from house to work, the thing, I'm spinning somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour on first John.

I challenge anybody to join me. You're like, well, I can't do that. You check the sports scores all day and all night long. So do I.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit. but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the spirit of God. Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the any Christ which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. but you, dear friends, you've overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world. And they talk from the viewpoint of the world and the world listens to them, but we are from God.

And everyone who knows God listens to us. Everyone who's not from God does not listen to us.

This is how we recognize the spirit of truth in the spirit of falsehood. A revival man.

I'm going to consume this. A revival man is going to be a prayer walker,

A disciple maker, an evangelist. You don't want to be an evangelist, okay? A testifier. That lady became the biggest evangelist in psychar. The revival man is going to be a baptizer, a spiritual leader, somebody that's hungry for a move of God, a worshipper, a glory giver, somebody marked by God. A revival man is going to raise the standard and say, I don't want to just be a good meat smoker. I want to be a revival man. And if I want to stand out there at the green egg for four hours, I'm going to be putting down some verses while I'm out there. I'm going to be putting some of this in my heart while I'm out there looking at that thing.

I want to be a revival man. I want to be a spiritual leader. I want to be somebody who hungers after God. And you know why? Because that's what I was made for.

That's what I was made for. That's what I was made for. Ladies, that's what I was made for. A revival woman. That's what I was made for. That's what you were made for. That is our original factory setting. And to get there, we just got a return. Repent. Come back.

And I'd love for us to have a chance to do that today.
