You’ve Got Something to Say (Psalm 107:1-2) | Pastor Kelvin Shaw (Sermon)

You have a testimony, and God did not redeem you to remain silent.

In this powerful message, Pastor K. Shaw preaches from Psalm 107:1–2 and calls every believer to boldly declare what the Lord has done. The redeemed are not just saved from something—they are saved with a story to tell.

Shame may try to silence you. Fear may try to hold you back. Guilt, regret, and the enemy’s accusations may whisper that your voice does not matter. But when Jesus saves, delivers, restores, heals, and brings you out, there is something worth declaring.

Your testimony is proof that God is still working. The blood of Jesus still saves. The blood of Jesus still delivers. The blood of Jesus still restores. The blood of Jesus still overcomes.

This sermon will encourage you to stop hiding your story, overcome the fear of speaking up, and give God glory for His mercy and redeeming power.

SPEAKER_01 1:05

Psalm chapter 107 and verse number two. Let's read it together if you have it. Says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from the enemy and of the enemy. And that's all we're reading. Now, this is not just a statement, but it's an action. So it says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. So with the help of the Lord this morning, and I believe by the end of this service, we're all going to be saying what that so is. With the help of the Lord, I want to preach just from this scripture. You've got to say something. You got to say something. If you've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, it's a command. You can't keep quiet. So if you've been redeemed, I want you just to shout out the name of Jesus. Say something. Oh, I felt that in the spirit. If you've been redeemed, why don't you just say hallelujah? Say, say hallelujah. If you've been redeemed, say praise Jesus. Or let the redeemed of the Lord say something. Put your Bibles down and lift your hands to the Lord. Jesus, we are here in your presence to make a declaration this morning that you have been good to us. You've brought us, Lord, from a mighty long way. You've kept us, you've pulled us out of darkness into your marvelous light. You've healed our bodies, you've kept our minds. You've made a way when there seemed to be no way. And because of all the things you've done, Jesus, we are gonna declare out that you are good. We are gonna say so this morning. And by the word of the testimony, we are gonna declare that we have overcome, and because you have done something great in our life. I thank you, Jesus, for what you're gonna do. Bless this word in Jesus' name. Somebody shout, Jesus! And you may be seated in the name of the Lord. You've got to say something. There are many verses in the Bible that we can't really understand until we walk down the road that the scripture is speaking about. If we read Psalms chapter 107, verse number one, and verse number two, number one tells us, Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever. The second verse goes on to say, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. We would think that this scripture was on the back of a great victory alone. Sometimes we read scriptures and think that they are only spoken from a place of comfort or a place of high times. But no, this scripture is actually the backdrop of this scripture is from people that have been taken out of bondage. This scripture is a declaration while people are in exile away from the place that God has for them. And in the midst of this scripture, they have realized that there is great pressure that comes with saying a scripture like this, and there's great tribulation that they have fought through, and this scripture is not just a high praise, but it's a praise even in the low times that God has been good to us. It opens with a praise, like I mentioned in verse number one, but it is a praise with history. I know it sounds beautiful, it sounds simple. In fact, when we read it, it even sounds like one of those statements that we should put in a picture frame and have on our wall at home. It's one of those things that we should uh uh enjoy, and it's one of those statements that we repeat in a worship service. But before we go to the worship portion of it, I want us to remember that this was in uh a time where the people weren't just saying religious things, but they're giving a great thanksgiving to God because they know what they have been through and they realize that they've gone through hell and high water, but they're still there because the power of the Holy Ghost. I'm not talking to anybody this morning, I'm talking to a people that knows what it's like, not just to stand on the mountaintop and shout hallelujah, but a people that knows what it's like to walk through the valley of the shadow of death and still be able to say, I serve a great God. Come on, somebody. I'm not talking to somebody that is free from struggle or free from trouble or free from being displaced. But no, this is a scripture for people that have been under pressure, of people that remember what it was like when the devil had them, of people that knows what it's like to be down and out, but somehow, someware, someone and another, God has brought me through, and I'm standing here and saying, hallelujah, let the redeemed of the Lord say something. We see in the scriptures that Psalms 107 stands up to make an announcement that what happened to them didn't have the authority over their life. This was a place that they had just been exiled, but the exilation wasn't their conclusion. This is a people that have experienced shame, but can I tell you, shame does not have the last word. This is a people that have gone through their own mistakes and gone through bondage and gone through broken seasons, but they're there to say those seasons will not have the last word in my life. They realize that mercy had stepped in. And when everything tries to set God's people back, mercy stands up to speak louder than the trouble. And if mercy gets the last word over our life, then our testimony must be louder than the trouble we face. The psalmist is calling for a very particular group of people. A people to speak, a people not just to be comfortable, a people not to act self-righteous, but a people that remember they have the scars to prove that they've been through a lot. But their testimony is always going to be louder than their trouble. He says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. In other words, let people who know what God has done open their mouth and begin to declare unto God a praise, command a praise, shout a praise, give God a praise, because my praise is always bigger than my problems. Come on, somebody. Because our testimony speaks louder than the things that we've gone through. You know, I let me give you a secret. I I don't like people that only tell me about their trouble. Now you say, oh boy, my goodness, Pastor, I can't tell you about my trouble. No. I said, only tell me about the trouble. Because sometimes we make trouble bigger than God. Sometimes we talk about our trials and tribulations so much, it's fact we give testimony more of our trials and tribulations than the victory that God has given us. But let the redeemed of the Lord say something. I remember whenever I was in my teenage years, between my teenage years and young adult years, there was a few-year period that I was wandering in my wilderness. Does anybody know about the wilderness? I knew all the things that God wanted me to do, but I I wasn't doing them. And if I'm honest with you, which it's good to be honest. There was a time in my life between 18 and 20 that I was just walking, doing my thing. Anybody ever did their thing? Oh no, I'm talking to people that always have walked with God every moment since you came out of the womb. You were speaking in tongues. And I remember thinking, Brother Jamil, I remember thinking when I would be in a service, I would feel like a hypocrite. Can I be honest, Bishop? Because I knew what I wanted and needed to do, but I also knew what I was doing. But I realized over time that that was just the accusation of the devil. I wasn't a hypocrite, I was just somebody who fell and I needed to get back up. You said, Pastor Shaw, please don't share that you fell when you were a teenager. I thought about it, you know. Yeah, I'm not scared to share the stories of when I wasn't winning, because I'm standing here today as a sign that the redeemed can say something. Oh, I'm gonna get you in a moment. Don't worry. This is where the tension of the text begins. Because the same people of God that were redeemed are now being commanded to talk about it. Can I tell you our miracles aren't meant to be silent, and deliverance that God has delivered us from is not meant for us to hide it. Oh, I'm I've always been perfect. Can't you see the halo on the back of my head? Mercy is not supposed to be just a private memory. But there is a tension between what God has done and what God's people are willing to say. And can I tell you one of the greatest tragedies is that the redemption that God has brought a person out of, they still live in that down place because they refuse to say something. God delivered me, but I'm gonna be quiet about it. Nobody needs to know. God rescued me, but I'm gonna still live ashamed. God restored me, but no, I'm afraid to share what the Lord had done. And can I tell you that's exactly what the enemy wants? He wants to keep us bound with our mouth. You say, aren't you embarrassed that you shared that you were down and out? No, because I've come up because of Jesus. So I ain't embarrassed about yesterday. I'm thankful that I've been redeemed. The enemy's biggest trick is to tell the people of God to be quiet. Because if you can control your mouth, he can control the narrative. But there's a power that comes out of somebody's mouth that they know what God has delivered them from, and they aren't ashamed to say I was down in hell, but look what the Lord has done. I came to declare to somebody this morning that I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. My past is not gonna explain what I've been through. I'm gonna explain it that I've been through it. I didn't stay down, but the righteous falleth seven times and rises. Spiritually don't just tell me what I've survived, they also testify that what trying to attack me did not have victory over my life. Come on, somebody. I'm talking to somebody that's been redeemed, I'm talking to somebody that knows what it's like to bend down to the pit, but you're standing here only because uh of his grace and his mercy. So I have a question for you. Will you say something this morning? He said, So let the redeemed of the Lord say so. The second part of that verse says, Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy. It tells me something that redeemed people know how to speak their way out of trouble. The hand of the enemy, when I looked it up, the hand always represents power. The hand represents control and it represents uh possession. So when it said the hand of the enemy, it meant that the enemy had control at one time over their life, had power, and the enemy's hand is is like a picture of a grip on God's people, and uh they're all of us, all of us, all of us, at one point in time or another has had the hand of the enemy gripping us. But I realize that the voice of the redeemed is bigger than the hand of the enemy, the mouth is greater than the hand. When the enemy had his hand on me, and I said, Get your hand off me in the name of Jesus, he had to release it. There is a power in what you say, and there's more power in what you say than in the hand of the enemy. I I talked to Solomon the other day, and he said, Where the word of a king is, there is power. So when God has spoken over your life, the enemy has to lose his grip. Come on, somebody, because the enemy can hold us, but God can speak us through. Tells me that God has the final say, God has the last word. In other words, God always gets the last laugh. They say, He who lasts, laughs, lasts best. Oh, come on, somebody. It says the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. God has the final say over our life, and if I'm struggling even right now, I just have to hear a word from God because if God shouting over my life, I gotta shout too. Somebody say hallelujah! You know, this is why I talk about some of my experiences, not because I'm trying to give glory to myself, but I'm trying to give glory to God. You know, there was a time when I was younger that I thought that the call of God on my life could never come to pass, Bishop. And I remember being in services almost like this, and I'd be sitting there knowing what God called me to do, but knowing what I currently sat in, and I would hear something in my ear saying, You'll never be what God called you to be. Pastor Shaw, please don't share. Just share, Pastor Shaw, that you were perfect your whole life when you walked on the went to the beach, that you walked on water, and and but I share it, and and I even was there's something in my mind when I was thinking about this service. I was sitting at my desk, I'm like, oh, I don't know why this because it's gonna look bad on the pastor to share. But then something came into my memory. I remember when I was 15 years old, and I was sitting in the back of a camp meeting at Orland camp, and all the youth were up there praising and worship God. And I bishop, I sat in the back and I said to myself, I'll never be what God wants me to be. And I said, God, if you're real, has anybody ever said that? If you're real, tell me something different. And I waited, Bishop, for a few minutes, and I didn't hear anything. And I thought, oh, I'm finished. This is never gonna work for me. God, and I said, I'm sorry, God. I talked, I said, I'm sorry, God, but I will never be able to be what you want me to be. Oh, it will never happen. And as I sat there with my head down, the preacher of that camp meeting came up to me. Bishop, you you would know him. His name is Calvin Gene. You remember Calvin Gene? He was a good youth preacher. And he came all the way to the back, and everybody was dancing and shouting, and I was just sitting there with my head down, and he said, not my shoulder. And he said, I don't know who you are. I've never met you before. But let me tell you, everything God just told me to tell you, everything he said about you is still true. And I said, Well, I didn't even hold my head up. And he said, Let me say it again. What God has spoken over your life, you will do exactly what he said you will do. So when I say I share the story, I don't share the story to share you what the enemy told you. I tell you the story because I'm redeemed. So let the redeemed of the Lord say so. What God has done in your mind. That there's a power of our testimony. Look at your neighbor and tell him there's a power in your testimony. Now I want you to say it like you really believe it this time. Look at your other neighbor and say, There's a power in your testimony. Testimony. And if you're still here, say so. This tells us that our testimonies of declaration as people that are redeemed are not optional. It's not just an extra thing, it's not just something that we share when we feel emotional, but our testimony matters because it gives God glory for what he has brought us through. Like I mentioned, the enemy wants to keep us silence because he knows something very special about a testimony. He knows that a testimony is evidence. Remember when Satan, the Bible says that he was going to and fro in the earth, and that he ended up in the courtroom of God. He came and he he he rushed into the courtroom of God, and in that courtroom they were discussing Job. Picture it, it's a courtroom, and the judge, God Almighty, was there on his throne, and Satan comes in as the accuser. And he says, God, if you touch Job and you destroy his life, he will turn around and say, He'll curse you and die. And he says, I know this to be true. Because he only has a testimony right now because all things are working for his good. But you God let something come negative to him and see what he does. Picture this, this is the courtroom. In the courtroom, there's two sides. And the the the accuser is there to say what we would do. Just like I told you, he he was telling me you'll never live for God. And I believe he was telling God that. Look, look what he's gonna go through. He'll never live for God. God says, okay, you go ahead and let all these things negatively affect Job. Job loses his family, Job loses all his money, Job lose everything else. And in fact, the Bible says something quite interesting that Job's wife is the only one that's left. And Job's wife lets the enemy use her. Because she repeats back to Job the same thing that Satan said to God. She said, Job, why don't you just curse God and die? Picture that. His own wife. And Job says, The Lord has given, but the Lord has taken away. But blessed be the name of the Lord. I realize in the courtroom of heaven, our testimony is our evidence that argues with the argument. Oh, come on, somebody. There's two sides giving an argument. If you think about it, in a courtroom, two people are arguing, and then all of a sudden they say, Let me bring the evidence. And when the evidence shows up on the table, it always goes beyond the argument. Oh, I've laid out all the facts of the case, but let me bring the hard evidence. And when the evidence shows up, the evidence trumps the argument. You still following me? So it's the evidence that tries to destroy the argument. It's evidence that I have, that you have. When God has taken you out of bondage, it's evidence that his grace and mercy is stronger than any type of bondage. When I testify and say, my sins have been forgiven, it's evidence that no sin is able to hold me down too long. Come on, somebody. When I've survived the storm and I've been beginning to clear about it, it's evident that though the storms may rage, there is one that has mastery over the storm. And when Jesus stepped into my life, he just said, Peace, be still. And I don't say the storm disappeared or the storm wasn't there, but I said I survived the storm because of my God. It's evidence. And the evidence of God and the evidence of our testimony is stronger than the hand of the enemy that tried to bring the accusation against me. Somebody say, God save me. That's evidence on record if you've been saved. Somebody say, God forgave me. That's ev don't let the enemy make you think that you're not forgiven. If you've been forgiven by God and you begin to declare it, it's evidence on record. When God keeps us, it's the evidence that we need to declare. Imagine the courtroom when someone had a great piece of evidence and they didn't bring it to the table. What would happen? They might lose the case. I was gonna never mind. Help me, Lord, stay on track. I need two or three witnesses, Bishop. Can I say it? Never mind. He said no. He said no. Let me get back to this thing. I was thinking of the OJ Glove. Never mind. Let me go back to the Bible. Let me not let me not mess with this stuff. Remember there was a woman at the well. The woman at the well is there in the middle of the day. She's there in the middle of the day because nobody was gonna show up in the middle of the day. In that region it's extremely hot as soon as it gets past ten o'clock. So most people that would go to wells would go before the break of dawn. So four, five, six is the prime time to go to the well. This is in John chapter four. The woman she goes there in the middle of the day because she doesn't want to tell people what she's been going through. She has had many husbands and boyfriends, and uh she's kind of ashamed because she knows what she's done is wrong, but she also knows she needs redemption. So she goes in the middle of the day, and Jesus uh the Bible says in John 4 that Jesus goes there at a particular time of the day and sends his disciples away for them to fetch lunch. So we know that lunch is around 12. Unless you're a very hard worker, it might be around two. And he sends his disciples away, and this woman shows up, and he's expected to see her. And the Bible says that he begins to have this dialogue about water, and she's like, Oh, he's like, Give me some water. Does anybody know the story? He says, Give me some water, and she says, Well, why are you a Jew asking me to give you water? And he says, You don't even know who you're talking to, because if you knew who was asking you for water, you would be asking me for water. And she's all confused, what water are you talking about? And he said, Looks down on the well, and he said, I'm not talking about H2O, I'm talking about the water of the Holy Ghost that if it fills you, you'll never thirst again. And she's like, What kind of Gatorade is this? Then Jesus changes the conversation about water, and he begins to tell her, You have been with X amount of men, and the person you're with right now is not your husband. And I can picture her drop the bucket. He reveals to her who he is. And even though she's in a bad place, the Bible says, John 4 and 29, that she runs into the city and she says, Come and see a man who told me all the things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ? And all I heard in that scripture is Psalms 107 beginning to rumble in the spirit because she was about to be redeemed and she knew the contract with the redeemed. The redeemed have to say something. Can I tell you if she didn't say anything, I don't know if she would have really got the revelation of her redemption, but she goes and tells everybody, I've been with everybody else, but I've seen a man that told me everything that I've ever done. And verse 39, the Bible says, and many Samaritans of that city believed in him of the word of the woman who testified. Hold on, they never saw Jesus, but when they heard what Jesus did in her life, the Bible says that she went and told them, He told me everything that I did earlier before Jesus, I was hiding because I didn't want to know anybody to know what I did, but what I did. Then they said to the woman, now we believe not because of what you said, but for we ourselves have heard him, and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world. Can I tell you your testimony will be the very vehicle that will bring somebody straight to Jesus? And when they see Jesus for themselves, they can testify that I know him because I see him, and I'm gonna testify. Brother Arrow, I just I just saw you come in. Oh, when I was when I was studying this word, Brother Arrow, I can see your face. I can see you because I know the testimonies that you're gonna declare over your life, and it's gonna free others. I'm gonna say so because I know he still is able. I'm gonna say so. Because I know he's able to. Someone say, Pastor. I don't know about what you're saying. I don't have a testimony like what you're talking about. So I I'm just gonna keep quiet, Pastor. I I don't have a testimony. Can I tell you testimonies? Don't have to be dramatic. A testimony is any place in your life where God stepped in and proved that grace is greater than the thing that had us found. So testimony is if Jesus has saved you or is saving you, or if he's kept you, or if he's killing you, or killed you, if he restored you, or he's restoring you, or if he's provided for you, or he's providing for you. It's something to say so about I'm almost coming to a close. I said, almost. I realized that there might be something as or or really let me say it this way. I looked in the Bible and said, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. And I said, What's a say-so? And it's a say-so testimony. I look through the word of God and I see many say-so. A say-so is it was this way at one time, but now it's this way now. It's a say-so. Does that sound like it makes sense? I was dead. I was dead. But mercy made me alive. That's a say-so testimony. It is true that I was dead spiritually, but I'm alive now. Ephesians 2 and 4 to 5. But God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ. Not just improving us, but making us alive. Jesus brought us from death to life. So if that's your testimony, say so. I was in the dark, but God changed my address. Some of us, I heard this, Bishop. Can I I I heard this and I thought it was quite interesting. I listened to a preacher. He said, Some of us were so close to hell that I can still smell the smoke off you. But he brought me out on the Myri clay. He set my feet on the rock to stay. Colossians 1 and 13. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. If God changed your address from darkness into his marvelous light, you gotta say so. I realize there's a say-so of I don't or didn't have enough. The say-so of I didn't have enough is God still made a way. If God provided for you when you didn't, is oh, I feel the Holy Ghost here. Am I talking to anybody that you looked around and you said, I don't have enough? And and God stepped in and intervened and I said, I still don't have enough, but nothing happened. I'm still here, I still paid all my stuff, I still have a little extra to just do my thing with. If God has ever provided for you, you gotta say Philippians 4 19, and my God shall supply all your needs according to my riches. Oh well, it says his with a capital H. That's a capital boss. It says, I don't trust in my resource, but I trust in the source. Come on, somebody. When I don't have enough resources, bishop, that's okay. I can go to the source of my resource. That's why I don't worship my resource because God can give and he can take it away, but still, he's blessed. So my say-so says, My God. But failure didn't finish me off. This is my testimony. The righteous man falleth, and look, I said that and everybody said, What did he fall with? I'm just talking about you know life. But the righteous man falleth seven times. It's the wicked man that sits in mischief. I named my son after, we named our son after this verse. Micah 7, 8. Do not we oh, can I give you a story? I have a bit more time. When I was growing up, Proverbs 24 16 is my journey verse. It's the verse that God stamped on my life. And everybody has a verse like that. Um Brother Mark, we were with uh young people the other day, Brother Danian, and I asked the young people, what is your does anybody know what their life verse is? And I was pleasantly surprised. All the young people in the chat was just shouting out their verses and saying, I know the verse that's connected to my life. And everybody has a life verse that God has stamped. I believe it, God has stamped on you, and your life will run by it. So you need to find your life verse. And mine is Proverbs 24:16, the righteous man falleth seven times and rises. So it means that if I fail, I'm gonna keep trying until I get it right. So I let me go into a further story before I tell you. So I my first business that I tried to do, guess what? I didn't make any money. I didn't. My wife, she's so trusting. I had a full time job, and I said, Sister Shaw, I didn't say it like that. I said, I'm going to start a business, I'm quitting my job. And she just looked at me, and I can see the face of my father. Are you mad? And I worked for a year behind the scenes trying to get the business going and I went into the office that days was the green and I said I quit and they said to me all the best money And then I started the business and I knew what it went it was like to go from a regular salary brother Daniel to every two weeks I saw the big number of zero and I failed I did it for a couple years and had some successes but overall it wasn't what I thought it was gonna be and then I didn't stop because of the scripture he put on me was the righteous man for all the seven times and wise so I tried again and can I tell you the next business helped us buy our nice home in Ottawa and can I tell you the next business that I was in and then I left even when we were coming to Toronto God gave me the biggest contract of my life to help me move here you don't believe me and I said Google don't Google Pastor Kelvin Shaw Google Kelvin Shaw Football Canada and I had friends calling me and saying I saw your name on TSN What kind of business are you in? Another one called and said, You were on SportsNet? I was watching TV and your name came up. What are you doing? And I realized that if you keep I keep getting up, God's gonna do exactly what he says over my life. So I said all that, that whenever Micah was on his way, we prayed to the Lord. What before we asked about the child, we said, what is his light verse? And Micah 7, 8 says, Do not rejoice against me over me, my enemy. For when I fall, I will arise. And when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. And I realized in that moment, and I wanted this, that anything that the Father does, he wants his son to do greater. And I realized that this was a greater verse of Proverbs 24, 17. He's gonna laugh in the face of the enemy. Do not rejoice against me. When I fall, I'm gonna rise. You can bring me to dark places, but the Lord will be my right. Can I say that again? When I've been redeemed, I'm responsible for telling you why and how I've been redeemed. You see, the church is not meant to be silent, but the church is made up of people that cried out to God and God answered them. Can I tell you this like this? The church loses when we stay silent. If I don't take up my responsibility to say that I've been redeemed, I lose out on the redemption. But when the redeemed begins to cry out to God, when the redeemed begins to say so, the enemy has no choice but to let go his hand over our lives. Can I tell you? A silent church gives rooms for skeptics. I realize that there's some people that said, I'm not sure about what Pastor Shaw is saying, or some people that have heard of a healing, heard of a miracle and the miracle, and the first result is, or the first mindset is I don't know if that happened. Do you know anybody know anybody like that? Don't raise your hand. Is anybody just naturally like that? Glass, glass half empty. There's probably a few in here. But if I stay quiet, it leaves room for the narrative to be changed in my mind or in the minds of others. If I don't tell you about a healing, you won't know fully that he's a healer. If I don't tell you that I've been delivered, somebody might not believe in the delivering power of God and the power of the church rests in their testimony. Singers, you can come back. Can I tell you our redemption is too powerful to remain silent. If God has healed us, I gotta say so. If God has delivered me, I gotta say so. And can I tell you this as I close? If I say so now, I'm gonna say so later. Hear me. If I say so now, I get to say so later. You say, Pastor, what's the later? Revelation 12 and 11. The Bible gives us insight to what we will do on the other side. Satan will come try to accusing his peep God's people, and the Bible says that they overcame by the blood of the Lamb. Number one, they overcame because they knew Jesus did it and they applied the blood of Jesus over their life, but it wasn't good enough for just the blood of Jesus to be on them. It says they overcame him, small H by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, that they did not love their lives to the death, but they loved him. You see, John is describing a spiritual courtroom in the end, and he says, What's gonna be the defeating blow to the enemy is the fact that Jesus came and died for all the sin of the world. But what that works for everybody, but what's gonna work for the individual is that they can testify that I applied the blood to my life. I was one that received the deliverance, and my testimony then becomes my weapon, or better said, it becomes my evidence. Yes, I was born into sin, but I was redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

Yes, I was walking without God's spirit, but shall be on Pentecost Sunday. I was filled with the Holy Ghost.

SPEAKER_01 53:17

Yes, I was I was going through a lot in my life, I was down and Jesus lifted me up, and the only way we're really gonna overcome is when we begin to declare it. So I have a question this morning as I close. I have a question. Will you come and say something? You say, Pastor, what do I have to say? Here's what you can say. I've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Here's what you can say that I don't have all things together, but I have the one that holds my life in his hands. Here's what you say. I don't know what I'm gonna do next, but I know the one that I can go to if you can stand with me this morning. This is a redemption service. This is a service for the redeemed, this is a service for those that want to be redeemed, and here's how you're gonna help yourself, you're gonna declare it. I've been through a lot, but God has helped me, God has saved me, God wants to save me. I know I fought devils, but I'm still standing only because of his grace. If you have a say-so praise and a say-so declaration, I'm asking you to lift your hands in this house. Don't close your mouth, but say something. The beauty of this is I don't know your all your testimonies, but you know your testimony. I don't know all the things that you've gone through, but you know, and if you know that you know, begin to declare it unto God. This altar is open for anybody that wants to even take further and just make steps to the enemy in his face and say, You're not gonna hold me down, but I'm gonna declare. I feel that the release in the Holy Ghost happening here. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, and maybe, maybe, maybe you you have so many great testimonies. Well, if you don't have anything to say to God, why don't you tell somebody else? Tell somebody else beside you, I'm gonna testify to you that if God worked on me, He can work on you. Why don't you grab somebody's hand and bring them up to this altar this morning and say, you know, God has been so good to me. Let's go together and declare the redemption of the Lord. Wherever you find yourself, I want you to say something. Wherever you are this morning, say something to God. Don't don't close your mouth, don't say something, say something, whatever you're dealing with, say something. That's it, that's it. Open your mouth and say something. Thank you, Jesus. You have redeemed me. Thank you, Jesus. You've given me hope. Thank you, Jesus. Come on, somebody.

SPEAKER_00 56:40

SPEAKER_01 56:50

SPEAKER_00 57:07
