TRANSCRIPT BELOW
You have such a purpose, man.
I know that you feel that, and I’m sure it’s ridiculously overwhelming because there’s so many things in this Earth that only you can do, and you’ve been through so much.
And you feel darkness and you see darkness so much because that’s all that’s behind your eyes, and I and I and god replaces memories there. That he would see in vivid and feel in vivid color in his brain.
That it the life that he lives behind his eyes would be so vibrant and colorful and full of you that you would take him on great adventures that and and go in different spots of his brain that he didn’t know existed. And I’m so thankful that he’s on this earth, man.
That even though he went through all this stuff, that stuff is gonna be his greatest triumph. That when I look at him, man, I just see how many lives he’s changing. I see how many people he’s motivated to get off the couch and do whatever. But now you’re gonna put a bigger motivator in there. He’s felt it for a long time, but he just wasn’t sure.
You’re gonna put this this your motivator in there, man. You’re gonna you’re gonna use this man to change thousands and thousands and thousands of lives. It does. And I want you to visualize in your brain right now that the thousands and thousands of people just in front of you realizing that Jesus is is because of who you are. All these great triumphs in your triumphs in your life are really compared to nothing.
And when you get to heaven, you’re gonna get to see it. You’re gonna get to see it and feel it. It’s such a call in your life. You have such a purpose on your life. So and through the things that were meant to destroy you, gosh, we’re the same people.
So God just blessed them. Give him the courage. He already has so much of it, but I ask for perseverance. That perseverance of where Jesus walked to the cross, and he, like, he knew what he was carrying and he carried the door.
So I pray that perseverance over there.
That no matter on the darkest days, the days that you don’t you wanna give up, the days that you don’t wanna be here anymore, I pray that you that God can just reveal himself in a special way in those moments so that you know that he’s always listening, and he’s always that that still small voice that’s here for you. Jesus. Jesus. And I love it. Yeah.
It’s a good day. Um, you believe that Jesus is Lord? Yes. You believe it in your heart? Yes.
Uh, we’re gonna baptize you, In the name of the father and the son, and Okay.
