 We live in a day-to-day where attention has become the currency. Not just gold, not just silver, but attention has become the currency of a modern generation. A documentary about social media dilemma says, if you are not paying for a product, then you are the product. Social media sees your attention as a product. In fact, we are a product. Our attention is the product being sold to the advertisers. Social media, this is what people who worked in social media developed like buttons, share buttons, and a lot of others. There's a whole documentary where different engineers from the social media machine, this is what they said, he said, you see social media as a tool. We design it as a drug. Your attention is the product now. Your attention is the currency, but this Warsaw works in marriages. Your attention is the currency for intimacy. If you want to have intimacy with your spouse, all you got to do, you don't have to be super funny. You got to do that when you're single. The moment you're married, you don't have to be super clever. All you got to do is pay attention. You pay with your attention for intimacy. You pay with your attention for closeness. You pay with your attention for God's blessing on your life. You also pay with your attention for car accidents when you use the phone and you drive and text. Our attention is under attack. I'm going to read to you the statistic. National Safety Council reports the cell phone usage while driving leads to 1.6 million crushes every year. One out of four car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving. Now listen to this. Texting while driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than being drunk while driving. Texting while driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than being drunk. There is an attack on our attention. There is an attack on our ability to pay attention. Many people, we live in a generation today where we are not able to fully pay attention without distraction. Like for example, if you monitor yourself within about 15 minutes or 5 minutes, your phone gets, your hands start searching for something else to do on the phone. 7 minutes into a date night and you need to check your phone. Of course, maybe somebody died. Maybe something really big happened. Who liked my picture? Who followed me? There is a constant addiction even to the things where we cannot focus to one thing at a time. And I believe that God wants to bring freedom to people's lives from this area and God also wants to show something today. If you are under attack, there is a very high chance you paid for that attack with your attention. This week, if you are married and your husband, most likely UPS guys come deliver packages to your house that your wife ordered. It will be foolish to get up there with a baseball bat and begin to threaten the UPS guy for bringing packages. And say, why are you bringing packages to my house? And he will look innocently and say, well, it's not my fault, I'm only delivering what your wife paid for. I wonder how many things devil delivers to us that we paid for with our attention. I wonder how many emotional problems devil delivers to us and we cast out the devil, but in reality we made the transaction and paid with it with our attention. For example, you give too much attention to news, you give too much attention to the social media, you will have anxiety. You will actually live in your house closed in and feel like the only time you should get out is when the world finds a vaccine for death. So many people today are trapped and this is not to bring shame on anybody who is not feeling comfortable staying in. What my goal today is this, is that if you're battling with fear, battling with anxiety, stop watching conspiracy theories. Take a break from news media, take a break from social media feed, take a break from your favorite place that feeds you, not with the truth and life, but feeds you with things that create negativity. You can't live a positive life with a negative mind. And a lot of times what happens is that we pay for our own depression with our attention. Whatever we give our attention to becomes something that fills our life, then devil delivers packages, but he doesn't deliver them just to any address. He delivers them to addresses that paid for those packages with their attention. And therefore today's message is going to be called, pay with attention. Because your attention is the currency for which you pay for. Your attention is the currency for which you pay for. I used to subscribe to the local news and to other news and it became frustrating because every single post had to do with how many people died out of COVID. I didn't see one where they shared how many people recovered. A doctor, John Inanoides, and I apologize if I mispronounce his name, which I probably did, Professor of Medicine of Health and Research Policy of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University School of Medicine. Big shot, in other words. He said this, if you are between ages 20 and 40, your risk of dying from COVID-19 is the same as your chance of dying from playing football. If you are between ages 15 and 24, you are more likely to be fatally afflicted by falling down the stairs then by COVID-19 from 15 to 24. Kids under 15 have more chances of getting hit by lightning than dying from COVID-19. Healthy women under 40, your odds of dying from COVID-19 are about the same as dying from a plane crash. If you are under the age of 65, your chance of dying of COVID-19 is the same risk you face from dying while driving your car to work. And what happened is this, because the mass media, because of all that information, people are living under attack that's self-imposed. We paid for it with our own attention. There are people I prayed for, for freedom in the last few months from deliverance, from anxiety. There are people I prayed for who have, you know, even insomnia, and I asked them, I said, could you turn off YouTube? Could you turn off the Fox? Could you turn off the CNN? Could you log off? And honestly, read the simple Word of God. I was having a haircut yesterday at my barber, and my barber mentioned something. He said, the world is crazy. I said, no, it's not. I said, should I say it's crazy? He said, no. I said, is our streets crazy? I said, no. I said, only what's crazy is media. Because the world, what media does is it takes the worst places in the world and puts them all in a one big bundle. And then you can't enjoy your city, you can't enjoy your family, because you live with a negative mind, you can't live a positive life. And then depression subsets, sleeplessness comes in, you become political, you become anxious, you become fearful, because you pay for that with your own attention. God wants us not to live under attack, He wants us to live under open heaven. He wants us to live under His presence, He wants us to live under the mighty hand of God. And for that to happen, my friend, we must understand, it's not enough to tell the devil, stop bringing me package of depression, stop bringing me package of anxiety. We need to disconnect, we need to disable this payment method called attention, giving attention to everything and anything that is online or even around us. Can somebody say amen? I'm going to read to you today a verse from Mark chapter 4 verse 24. Then he said to them, take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you. And to you who hear, more will be given. Somebody say more. Touch your neighbor and say, there is more for you. If you're watching, you can comment below if you want more. The Bible says take heed to what you hear for with the same measure that you use will be used to you. We want to see few things from this verse. One is that every person has a certain measure in their life. It's also confirmed in the Scriptures in Ephesians chapter 4 verse 7, where it says that we all have a measure of Christ's gift in our life. Meaning there's a certain measure that we all have. Some of us have this measure, it's been passed on to us by our family. For example, there's a measure of peace that your family might have. It's been your grandpa had this measure, your father had this measure, you have this measure. Some people have a measure of depression. Some people have a measure of fights in the family. Some people have a measure of poverty. Honestly, it's like a family thing. Everybody is born with this particular measure. And you use that measure, it's being given back to you. There's a certain measure, it creates a ceiling and a limit in your life. I love those books and songs and conferences, no limits. But that's not true. Okay, I know it looks really good on Instagram, hashtag no limits. There are limits. There are limits and I don't care how many books you read. I don't care how many degrees you have, you will have limits. Because we all have a measure. You and I have a measure, because somebody say amen. We have a measure of influence. We have a measure of God's grace. We have a measure of even knowledge. We all have a measure and currently we have a measure as a church of how many people come to church, how many people are being saved, how many people are being healed. There is a measure, there is a ceiling and there is a limit. There is a thing that we reach and God says use that measure, work that measure, meaning work the measure that you have. But then he says this. He said to those of you who hear, you can trick the measure and you can have more than your measure. God says you can have more, more will be given. While everybody is enduring or enjoying their measure, you can step into another level in life and have more than your measure in finances, in marriage, in your walk with Christ and God gives this secret. He doesn't say those who pray. He doesn't say those who fast, though prayer and fasting is vital. He doesn't even say those who give, though giving is very important. He says those who hear more will be given. If you ever been in debt and your whole family is in debt, all you need to do is read and listen to Dave Ramsey for one year and you will have more than your measure. You're struggling with marriage. All you gotta do is find a marriage counselor, start reading marriage books and you will find out that there will be more than your measure in your marriage. Same thing happens in your relationship with the Lord. If you switch off from things that are not holy and wholesome and you start listening and feeding yourself with the things of God, there will be more than the measure that you currently enjoy in your walk with God. There is a new level that exists in our walk with God, in our walk in our finances, in our walk in our marriage and if that measure is unlocked by what we hear, what we pay attention to. In other words, your attention is the currency for the next level in life. Your attention, my attention, what I give my eyes, my ears, what I give, what content I consume every single day is what determines the next level in my walk with God. Now, this is the misconception that we have fallen to believe that as long as I have a desire and intention, I will have a new level in life. Your intention doesn't determine new level. Everybody has good intentions. It's your attention that determines new level in life. Every failing marriage has a good intention to have a good marriage. Every failing person in their finances has good intentions. Intentions do not determine new level. It's the attention that you give to what you read, what you watch, what you subscribe to, what you feel your life on your free time, on your drive to work while you are working out. What is going into your mind is the key that will unlock the new level in your life. That's why Jesus called Pharisees. He said, you took the key of knowledge. Knowledge is the key that unlocks a new room that you are not in yet. And my friend, unfortunately, many of us think that as long as I have a good desire, that's enough. As long as I have a good intention, my life will change. Intentions will not change your life. Desires will not change your life. It has to be your spiritual diet that will change your life. Can somebody say amen? A diet will change your life. It's a spiritual diet. They say in the area of fitness, 20% of exercise affects your health. And the rest of the 80% is your diet, is your eating. So if you're working out and you're running and you're exercising an hour every single day, but the rest of the 80%, you're eating whatever, you will not be as fit as you want to be fit. The same thing applies to our new level in life. If you go to school, it's one thing. That's great. You know, stay away from this. That's awesome. But the question is, what is your spiritual diet? If you hate your job, but you don't hate it enough to change your diet, you will live a miserable life in your career. If you, I just hate my marriage, but not enough to change the usage of your leisure time. Not enough to switch off the entertainment and turn on the enlightenment. Not enough to switch off things that numb you and turn things on that nurture you. Not enough to turn off a radio and turn on an audiobook while you drive. An average person, a statistic says that an average person spends a study done by Harvard said that an average person spends 101 minutes per day driving. Now, I understand you live in Tri-Cities, so we're not average. We don't spend 100 hours a day, excuse me, 100 minutes, I'm sorry, 100 minutes a day driving. Most of us drive less than 100 minutes a day. But let's say 50 minutes a day you spend driving. That means that's few audiobook books every single week. That means that could be a lot of consumption, but most of us do not use that time and then we are angry with our spouses. We're angry with our bosses. We're angry with our church. We're angry with the world while we come from work and four hours, two of those hours are spent on social media and the other two is spent on TV. You don't hate your life enough to change it. And it's almost like God's like, I want you to suffer more until you stop relying on your intentions and desires and you say, you know what, I'm gonna change. I see people all the time saying, you know, I wanna lose weight. Your desire is not enough. Oh, my intention is, I'm gonna get healthier. 2020, I'm gonna go healthier. That's not enough. Desires are not enough. It's change of a diet that's enough. You have to change your diet. Oh, I wanna walk in the ministry. I wanna walk in the anointing. That is awesome. That's not enough. You have to have a change of your diet. Spiritual diet has to change. Oh, but I just don't have time to go to college. I don't have time. You have four hours of free four hours every single day, but I need to unwind. Unwind from what? Nothing else is working. There's nothing to unwind from. We have to use the time to say, you know what? Yes, I cannot change the fact that I work here. I would love to have a different job, but I'm gonna come from home and instead of unwinding, I'm going to rewire my life so that in five years I have a different job. I will get classes. I will get books. I will change my attention. I'm not a police understand. I'm not against unwinding. But I'm not four hours a day. I'm not against, you know, having a time where you spend time on social media, but not like an average person spends two hours a day on social media and then we don't like our measure. We want more and think just because I want more, I will get it. The Bible says the key is not wanting it. The key is what you hear. And God says if you want it, change what you spend your free time on, what you spend your workout time on, what you spend your driving time on, have other things that will go into you so that in the next two, three years your life changes. Not because God did a miracle, but because you applied His principle and you took the key of knowledge. Because somebody say amen. Not only desire doesn't change our life, but diet does. But the other part that I want to highlight is many times we get discouraged because when we begin to spend time on listening, learning, feeding ourselves, we then become inconsistent. We want to see results right away. It's kind of like a person who ate unhealthy all their life and today they decided to skip McDonald's and they're hoping to lose 10 pounds tomorrow. That's not how that works. It's today's attention guarantees tomorrow promotion, not today's promotion. Today, what you give you, today's attention changes tomorrow's appetite. Today's attention, it changes tomorrow's level in life. Today's attention changes tomorrow's habits. Today, what I give myself today, this is what God says to Joshua. Joshua said this to the people of Israel. He says, sanctify yourself today. For tomorrow, God will do wonders in your midst. Sanctify yourselves. For tomorrow, God will do wonders in your midst. And see, you have to understand today's sanctification brings tomorrow's miracles. Today's consecration brings tomorrow's conquest. Today's sacrifice brings tomorrow's success. And a lot of times people who begin to shift what they give their attention to and they're saying, you know what? We're going to change what we watch. We're going to change what we listen to. We're going to change what we read. Or we're going to start reading. We're going to change how we unwind. We are going to change and replace that stuff. You won't see the change right away because God says tomorrow, I will do wonders in our midst. My friend, if you want God to do wonders in your midst, please understand what you have today is a result of yesterday's attention. What you will have tomorrow will be a result of today's attention. If you don't like where you are today, it's not God's fault, my friend. And I'm going to tell you one thing and it's also not your fault of what you did today. It's what you did yesterday. If you don't like the way you are in your health, if you don't like the way you are in your marriage as a general rule, if you don't like where you are in your walk with Christ, you must understand is where you give your attention today, tomorrow, something will be changing. Tomorrow, you will notice a change in your character, you will notice a change in your spirit, you will notice a change in your emotional and mental state. But some of us, it's not the problem that we're not patient to wait for the tomorrow. It's not the problem with us that we are, you know, lack of persistence. It's that changing our attention, stop feeding on things that are poisonous, has become an addiction for us. We have become addicted, because this is how attention works. At first, whatever you give your attention creates your appetite. And then after that, appetites become addictions. Appetites become addiction. Pornography is not something you look at. First, you look at it, and then you're hooked at it. And then you can't stop looking at it. And even if you make promises to yourself, you can no longer stop looking at pornography. Pornography is not the only thing that does that. So is entertainment. At first, it entertains you, and then it captivates you. At first, you consume it, and then it controls you. And a lot of us, the reason why we can't switch what we give our attention to is because if we be very honest, we're addicted. We're hooked. And we no longer, I hear sometimes people say, well, I don't want to stop playing video games. Why? Your attention creates your appetite. What you give your attention to, you didn't have an appetite for video games. It was developed because you paid with it for your attention. Same thing with sports. Some people are addicted to sports. Check every single day. They know every player that is an NFL or NBA, but they don't know one name of the disciple of Jesus Christ. And they have a passion, even as I'm speaking right now, they already checked the scores and what's happening. And why is that happening? Because your affection, your appetite comes from what you give your attention to. You didn't grow up knowing about football. It's because you gave in your attention to that, it became your appetite. I'm not against football. I'm just against addiction and making an idol out of football. Where you sacrifice church, you sacrifice your family and you're constantly on your phone and you're checking those people who honestly give you nothing except taking your time and you're not happy with where your life is at. That's what I am against and I think that God is against that because our attention becomes our appetite. We begin to want that, which we gave our attention to. And then after a while, it becomes our captor. It becomes something we are addicted to. We can no longer be free from. And so when you hear something and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't apply to me. Yes, my friend, it does apply to you. The only difference is for you, it's not going to be enough to make a decision to stop watching. You need deliverance. For many people, they could simply repent and say, God, I'm sorry, switch. And for people who are hooked, they don't need decision. They need deliverance because when you're addicted, you no longer need self-help. You need God-help. You need God-help. You need to be delivered. You need God's help. You need somebody to break the chain of that addiction. You might need to fast. You might need to not only repent. You are actually trapped in the net. And somebody is sponsored that net and somebody derives joy from the fact that your life is going nowhere and is sucking life out of you and you have no desire for the things of God, no appetite for the holy things, no passion for the things of God. And life is going and it's not how you intend it to do what you do at the age of 25. But you can't change it no more. Why? Because you listen to this message, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you go home to the same rut, to the same thing. Why? Because it's a trap and it's an addiction now. And it's demonic. There are demons behind it. You're like, does it mean that I have a demon? No, you have a company. You got company. You're not alone in what you're doing. How I know that because the Bible says God gives us desire to do His will. If God gives desires, so do devils. If God gives me appetite, so do demons. If God gives me something to crave after, so does the devil. And you might not have a demon in you, but you got company. Last week, Prophet Ed, when he was here, he ministered, it was an awesome conference and I was dropping, we were, me and Ilya were dropping him off and in the parking lot, I asked him quickly, does he drink coffee? And he said, no, I don't drink coffee. I haven't done it in 28 years. I looked at him and I was like, you're missing out, bro. And I said, may I ask you why you don't drink coffee? And I'm like a, you know, coffee, not drinker. I'm addicted to coffee. And so he looks at me and he said, I was casting out demons of caffeine. And I've seen a lot of crazy deliverances. We've done quite a few of them ourselves. And I looked at him and I was like, really caffeine? And I was like, anything else? Demons of apple and you know, and I'm looking at him and I was like, I was like, come on. He said, Vlad, if you can't go without coffee, you're not free men. He says, if you can't live without coffee, he said, what kind of a Christian are you? If you get attacks called migraines, if you stop it, he said, don't tell me that's healthy. And then he says this that the quote was used. He said, if you're addicted to anything, you got company. I was like, deliver me men, I got it. I didn't say that, but I was delivered. When he said that, I was delivered. It's been seven days without coffee. Or caffeine. Now, I'm not against coffee. I understand. We have coffee, coffee holders, we have coffee shop. I think Mike is going to be like, hey man, finally, I'm going to put the thing down. No, no, no, no. Not that fast. Honestly, I went home and I started to think, I have said this, I can't live without coffee. And the Holy Spirit convicted me and he said, can you say that about me? And when I stopped taking coffee on Saturday, on Sunday, I had such a migraine headache. I preached with migraine headache last Sunday. That's why the message on misery was so good, because it came straight from the heart. I took pills on Sunday. And then I still had headaches. On Monday, I had headaches. And I took three days to fast this week for my personal deliverance. Why? I'm not against coffee. I probably will still take it after maybe some time. But I've noticed one thing. If you're addicted in one area, it's usually never just one area. It's a place of domino effect. Demons, there's, every time you use the deliverance, you always saw us demons, not one. Because one demon comes in as this one, he always opens the door for his cousin. He always invites his nephew. There's always multiple of demons that will come into a person because it plays a domino effect. And I started to examine my heart and I've noticed in this area, in that area, where you just kind of, you let it go, you let it go, you let it go. And then it slowly, and the enemy doesn't always seek to come in. If he can only be in your company, he'll be happy. And my friends, some of us are in that place right now where giving attention to holy things, giving attention to the things of God, seeking God's face, praying, reading God's word, coming to church, even paying attention in church without, all of that is an appetite problem. There's no appetite. When there is no appetite, my friend, it's because there's already attention given to something else. There's something you're passionate about. There's something you're obsessed with. There's something you'll watch three hours straight and you will not even notice three hours past. There's something you'll pay subscriptions and you won't wonder, where do they spend my money on? No, you'll just go with it. Why? Because your obsession is there. Your addiction is there. And my friend, for many Christians, on the outside, we claim to have affection, appetite and attention to Jesus. But on the inside, a lot of us are slaves to technology. Our wives is complaining, can you get off your phone? Kids are scared because you're texting and driving. Why? Because you're addicted to that device. The constant TV is constantly on and it's not holy things. It's not the sermons. It's not the miracles. It's not the signs and wonders. And we'll notice, why do I have no desire toward God? Why do I feel bored when I read this book? But I can scroll through aimless, dumb stuff, and I am not bored. Why do I have no passion too fast? Why God doesn't speak to me anymore about giving? Why is my life complacent? Why am I burned out? Why am I numbing myself all the time? My friend, you have no attention given to God. You will have no appetite for God. And when you have no appetite for God, you develop alternative addictions. And we need deliverance. We need deliverance. Come on somebody. Amen? Somebody say amen. When your desire is too weak, deliverance is needed. To finish this message, practical three things to take home with you. One is take inventory of your attention. Mark 4, 24, Jesus said, take heed to what you hear. He didn't say first, change what you hear. He said take heed. Take heed to what you hear before you change what you hear. Take inventory of your attention. Look at your phone. How much time do you spend on social media? Just take inventory. What do you do when you drive? Take inventory of, if you work out or go for walks, what do you listen to unless you prefer total silence and solitude? What do you watch on your free time? When was the last time you opened your Bible after your devotions in the evening? Do you have peace or anxiety? Are you burning for God or are you burned out? Are you creative or have you become critical? Are you numbing or are you nurturing? Are you, what you're feeding yourself, is it enlightening you or is it just entertaining you? Is what I'm eating feeding me is what I'm consuming, controlling me. Take inventory of your heart. I can't tell every person what God is dealing with me that he has to deal with you, but I invite the Holy Spirit right now, even as you're listening us on livestream or in here. Let the Holy, give Holy Spirit room to zip the veil out and take inventory of your heart. Number two, redirect your attention today where you want to excel tomorrow. Ask yourself a question. Where do you want to grow tomorrow? Where do you want to be tomorrow? Based on that, you will pay for your tomorrow's excel with today's attention. Redirect your attention. You might not have money for college, but there is a lot of free courses online. You might not have money to go get a business degree, but there are so many books that you can borrow from library or pay for, they could change how you think about business and how you think about your finances. You might not afford to go get counseling as a married couple. You know the podcasts are free and you can listen to them. Nah, but I just, I don't like to listen. Then enjoy your miserable marriage. I'm sorry. I meant what I said. That's what I'm sorry for. I just don't like the way we are financially. Well, if you are not willing to change what you learn, then enjoy your poverty. Enjoy that debt and that constant fighting. You gotta change what you put yourself into. You change your here and your life tomorrow will begin to change. Choose your diet. You know, a person who eats whatever and then they're like, well, I don't like my body. Well, you fed it. Nobody shoved it into your mouth. You bought that, you ate that and it was your hand last time I checked. Not an alien that shoved it into your mouth. Amen. You know, when I cut off coffee, I started to eat healthier. I started to, God bless soul, she started to make these green juices. I remember one time she made it, I looked at that stuff and I was like, that's the nastiest thing I've ever seen. I said, I will never even, and I smelled it, even smelled worse than the way it looked. Now those juices, it's the manna from heaven. I drank the thing. I was like, this is way better than coffee. Why? Because you will develop new appetites after a while. Your health, and this is how it works. You begin to get one area of your life under control of the Holy Spirit. It will lead right away to another area. How many of you after you exercise, do you want to eat better after that? You want to live, you wash your car, you want to watch how you drive, you avoid the puddles. You're like, God, why did you send the rain? This is not Seattle. Why? Because you wash the car because it's a domino effect and the moment you let yourself go, you let go of your attention, you watch whatever, you're tired, unburned out. I just had a horrible day. Well, you're about to make it worse. And you're like, well, I'm just going to bench watch on something. And next thing that happens is that you're tomorrow, you can't excel in your tomorrow because you're slacking today. And God is not asking anything hard. He just pay with your attention. You want to change your future? God says, I give you the opportunity. Here is the currency. You got it. Every person got it. Every person has the same amount of this currency. It's called your attention. Number three, last one. Endure temporary withdrawals. When you start paying with your attention for new altitude in life, there is a price. And this price is called keeping your focus. Get ready for withdrawals. When it comes to coffee this week, I had a hard time sleeping at night. I don't have a problem sleeping at night. I couldn't sleep at night, partially probably because of fasting. And then I had needles from two in the morning from here all the way there. It was like sharp needles were pinching me. I couldn't sleep. I woke up, went to prayer. Of course I was like, well, there's a solution for that. And I told my wife and I said, I don't know what's happening. And she said, that's what drug addicts experience when they have withdrawals. My wife shoots straight. She's like, you're just going through the process of deliverance. There is withdrawals when you start shifting where you focus on. For example, if you always got used to entertainment, you're going to get pumped right now. You're like, you know, I'm just going to go, I'm going to honestly finish that book that I started in January. I'm going to pick that back up. You know, Jim's reopened. I'm going to go back. You're going to get excited within about seven or five days with draws kicking where the emotions die and then you become unstable. So what do you do then? You do, you focus with your attention on that which you committed as a form of payment, not as a form of enjoyment. You just do it as a form of a payment. I remember when I had to change my spiritual diet to watch miracle signs and wonders. I loved me good, funny, connecting sermons. I enjoyed them. And the Lord started to shift. He says, is that what you want to see in ministry? No, I want to see deliverance. I want to see healings. He says, then you have to watch people who move in that. I said, God, but I don't like them. I don't like their preaching style. I don't like their hour services, which are usually seven hours long. And I was like, I don't like that stuff. And God's like, well, then you have to understand you can't excel in the area. You're not willing to pay for by yielding your attention to that particular field. You're going to spend your time on something. You're going to watch something. You're going to listen to something. You're going to feed yourself with something. Why don't you choose your diet based on the destiny God has promised you? Choose your diet based on the destiny you desire that God plays within you and you will see changes in your life. I encourage you. Pay with your attention. You are paying with your attention for something. Whatever that's coming in your life right now, if you're very honest with yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to examine your heart, you will see the transaction was made and your payment was, your attention was the payment for that thing that you have right now in your life. You can change your payment. You can change your currency and you will change what comes into your life. Can somebody say amen? I want us to rise through our feet. Every head bowed and every eye closed. If you're in this room right now or watching us on live stream and you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior if you are coming maybe for the first time or maybe perhaps you've been coming for a few times already and you have not yet made the decision to give your life to Jesus Christ I want to tell you that the most important decision you'll make is what you do with Jesus Christ. As we pray today for thousands, local and millions globally, we're not praying for a mega church. We are praying for many, many people to meet Jesus. This is why we exist as a church. This is why Jesus came. Every success, every blessing in life has an expiration date. But your soul is eternal. If you need to give your life to Jesus today, today is your moment. If you don't know where you will spend eternity, if you don't know where you will go if you will die today, right now is the moment to make your life right with the Lord. When I'm going to ask, when I count to three and when I do so I'm going to ask you to raise your hand if you need to give your life to Jesus. Maybe you backslid. You walked away from God completely and you want to come back to the Lord today. This is a perfect opportunity. When I give you that moment, I want you to raise your hand and then I'm going to pray with you. One, two, three. Just raise that hand high. Raise that hand high. Say, hey, I would like to give my life to Christ. I would like to give my life to Jesus today. If you're watching me on live stream today and you're saying, pastor, I would like to give my life to Jesus. You can comment below or go to hungrygen.com slash VIP. Thank you. I see your hands. I'm going to ask you to do something that is bold right now. Those of you who raised your hand or you wanted to do that, or maybe you came with a friend and honestly, you had a fake discussion and they came here already expecting to give their life to Christ, but they're kind of shy. Could I ask you right now? Could you come to the front right now? I'm going to pray with you right here. Could you just come? If you raised your hand or you wanted to just come. Come on. Let's give them a round of applause. It's a bold thing to do. It's a bold thing to do. Come on. Come on. Come on. That's a bold step to do. Come on, somebody. If I can have some of the life group leaders as well to be here. Thank you. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. We're just going to take a moment. If there's anybody else, if you're watching me on live stream right now and you would like to give your life to Jesus, you can do that right there. If you are here today or you came maybe with a friend, you can come with your friend right now. The best decision you can make in your life is to make Jesus the Lord and the Savior of your heart. He will begin to heal you. He will begin to restore you and give you a new life. Let's begin to pray together, church. And I want you guys to pray with me. I want you to say, Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner. Please forgive me of all my sin and wash me with your precious blood. I come to you the way I am. Please change me. Deliver me and make me yours in Jesus' name. I want to take a moment and pray for one more category of people who today, if you can give me a little bit more juice, today during this message you realize that your focus is broken. You realize maybe today that you're addicted to something that you no longer can control almost. And you would like God to deliver you and you would like God to set you free. Or today you're saying, I'm changing my focus. I'm changing what I'm watching. I'm changing what I'm listening to. I'm changing. I'm changing. If you are in one of those two categories, I want you to raise your hand and we're going to pray right now. I want you to identify yourself right now before the Lord and before God's angels because God's going to release help right now. Keep your hand up right now. Let's begin to pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, I ask you right now, close your eyes and begin to ask the Holy Spirit for help. The Holy Spirit, give me some help. Holy Spirit, deliver me from whatever that is binding me. Holy Spirit, I want you to set my... Help me to set my eyes on the things of the hills of God. Help me to move my attention to something that will bring acceleration in my life. Lord, I pray right now in the name of Jesus for every person that is here, God. For people who gave up maybe reading the Word, who gave up maybe God listening to things they could replenish and feed them and they're just numbing them and they find themselves burned out. Those are God who find themselves anxious. Those who find themselves drinking from the sewer of Hollywood. Drinking from the negative waters of media, Lord God. Or maybe who are constantly, Lord God, filling themselves with gossip, filling themselves with things that are numbing them, God. And their life is not progressing and their knowledge is not growing and they're not expanding. Father, I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, God. Every chain that Satan has used to bind us, let it be broken today. Every chain that Satan has used to trap us, let it be broken today in Jesus' name. Every little domesticated demon, I command you to go in Jesus' mighty name. I break your grip over God's people's lives. I break your grip over our attention. I break your grip over our appetite. I break your grip over our affection in Jesus' mighty name. Come on, place your hand up on your heart right now. Begin to praise the God. Give me fresh hunger for your word. Give me fresh appetite for the holy things. Give me fresh hunger for your presence, God. I don't want to be a lukewarm Christian. I don't want to be a Christian whose heart, whose love is called for God. In Jesus' mighty name. In Jesus' mighty name. Lord, release that fresh hunger right now. Release that new focus right now. Release, God, a new desire for the things of God. Lord, that we will see in our tomorrow your wonders. We will see in our tomorrow your miracles. We will see in our tomorrow a new level in life. We will see in our tomorrow a new level in our business, in our career, God. Because today we consecrated ourselves. Today we sanctified ourselves. Today we chose to grow in you, God. In Jesus' mighty name. We bless every father, every mother. We bless every businessman. We bless every student, God. We bless every person or God who desires to be in ministry. Who desires to grow in you, God. That you will begin to expand and grow them. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. In Jesus' mighty name we ask. And everybody said, Come on church, let's give a round of applause to the Lord. Amen.
