1 Zion Assembly of Harrisburg Sermon: Speaker: Abide in My Words Pastor Raleigh Wingfield Date: June 16, 2013 Length: 00:43:50 PASTOR WINGFIELD: I ll tell you guys, what a powerful place this is. I m just sitting here, just thinking about the faith level and the maturity level that s in you guys. Listening to the worship and your passion for God and your ability to comprehend, your ability to get the point. You make it so easy to teach. I meet people on the street and different ones who have visited here, and they all say the same thing about you. They come in here, and they say they immediately feel like family. They feel like this is home. You treat them with such grace, and you welcome them with such charm and dignity and faith and genuineness. And it makes me feel just wonderful to be a part of this community. I listened to Brother Ancil s teaching several times from last Sunday. I ve read the script. I listened to the audio. And I think it is probably the most significant and important message that you could hear in this house. I put it at that level. And if you didn t hear it, I encourage you, go online, ZionAssembly.org, and listen to it. Still yourself in a quiet place and really listen. And then read the document. It s in print also. There s a PDF file right there with the audio file, and read it. It s about 24 pages. But it s 24 good pages. He makes our faith so clear. In fact, I was challenged, what I was going to say to you today. And I had things already prepared from weeks ago. But I just I was I m telling the Lord, listen, with all of what was said, and what Crissy elaborated on on Wednesday, brought our faith and our place in God to such clarity and such truth that

2 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 2 where do you go from that platform? I mean, what needs to be built once you ve established that platform, other than just to recline in it, to rejoice in it, to celebrate what it means? Because really, I mean, listen, you really want to be careful adding anything more to what is complete. He was able to break down something that we ve talked about here for a long time. And maybe because I ve taught from these scriptures so much that it just got me at a level, I mean, I so celebrate our Elders and their ability to minister. I am ministered to by our Elders. When they teach, I m getting edified. And they spoke things that added to my faith and my understanding on the issues that they presented concerning being dead to sin or being dead in sin. And the distinction between the two is so important. And God knows I speak the truth, that that is one issue that speaks in my heart. And I have tried my best for many times to explain the difference of that; and to help you to make the change in your own sense of your soul, to step out of this dead-in-sin mentality and this struggling to feel at peace with God, and to receive the promise that you are the righteousness of God; and to explain what it means to be the light of the world without your soul telling how no-good you are, and without your mind reminding you of how many mistakes you ve made, and without your mirror pointing out how many flaws you ve got; and to present to you the promise of a God who paid the way to make your life exactly as his without remembrance of flaws and faults and shortcomings, without references to your failures and your fracturedness. He has promised you life absolute, life complete. And we re getting there, guys. He s talking about elevating us, and you re hearing that kind of language here. God s elevating us, causing our hearts to look up. We re getting what that means. It makes my heart rejoice as your senior Elder to see you able to repeat those words, and standing in that platform because you re coming from that place of being elevated. You understand. You re getting what it means to have Christ as your life. I mean, not putting on the Christian way. I mean Christ as your life. And you can say it with an understanding when you say Christ is my life. Your language is changing. Your references are changing. You re changing. Did you know that? You are changing. You re growing. And if you look at that statement back on that back wall, that is why we re here. And I rejoice to see faith going to a new level. It s becoming secure. It s becoming anchored. It s becoming solid. Your

3 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 3 faith is solid. And I m not talking about just faith to believe you can be healed which, by the way, I have received this week. CONGREGATION: Amen. PASTOR WINGFIELD: Amen. Amen. Yesterday I wouldn t even be talking like this. I could hardly catch my breath. Not just that kind of faith to believe that, well, God will open to, I mean, Ken talked about a powerful faith just a minute ago, the faith to obey God in giving. I mean, to actually detach yourself from this earthly wealth and to put no meaning on the earthly wealth and greater meaning on the response that God gives because you did it. And he talked about that. That s a kind of faith. And we tend to hold Christianity to those kinds of levels. But here in this house we ve taken our faith and our sense of Christianity beyond the levels of God providing those kind of things. We understand that, in Christ, we are actually we have actually died once unto sin, and we know what that means. And it doesn t bother us to say that because we re not judging ourselves and condemning ourselves because of looking in the wrong mirror. We re looking into the mirror of the way of Christ, the thing that was given to us by the shed blood of Christ and the resurrection of Christ. And we are discovering that we are alive to live forever. And we know what that means. Come on, somebody say, Praise the Lord. CONGREGATION: Praise the Lord. PASTOR WINGFIELD: We re getting it. Say it with me, I m getting it. CONGREGATION: I m getting it. PASTOR WINGFIELD: I m getting it. You re getting it. We re growing. You re getting the point. You re standing on another platform. You re standing at another place of understanding. I just want to look down at your feet this morning. I m still praying to God, what else needs to be said today? Because I m prepared. But he, his mind is what we want for us because he s been leading us along a

4 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 4 path of discovery. And it s not just for information s sake, but many of you all are unpacking and repacking life, the meaning of life, based upon what God is saying here. Some of you are throwing away old religious packages that churches taught you, and now the spirit of God is teaching you something about what it means to be alive. God has defined for you death and darkness, and he s defined for you life. He said to you, life is God, and God is your life. He explained to us how simple that is. He said, when Christ died, all men died. And we get that. Somebody say Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. PASTOR WINGFIELD: Now, we still see people walking around the earth. But if God said all men died, we have to ask the question, and we have: What kind of death, God, are you talking about? That death is the absence of knowing the life that is God. He called that death also a darkness. And he said Christ came to show you the way back. Therefore he s the light. He came to the darkness. He came to the confusion. He came to the distance. And he said he connected the two together, and he presented to us the way back to God. And he said, it s simple. If you see me, you have seen the Father. God wants to live through a human vessel. In other words, God can be seen in a human life. We get that. Somebody say Praise the Lord. CONGREGATION: Praise the Lord. PASTOR WINGFIELD: And we re not putting on acts and putting on airs. We are laying hold, we have laid hold to the truth. And the truth has made us free. Somebody say Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. PASTOR WINGFIELD: I m telling you, I see this. I see what s going on here. Do you? Can you see what s happening to you? You are taking hold to this life. You sang a song a minute ago. Do you understand how much of a testimony that was of you? This is the air that I breathe? Your holy word?

5 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 5 Spoken to me? What have we been talking about here? What is the nature, when God speaks, what goes on when God speaks? I ain t talking about the preacher s preaching. I m talking about through the preacher preaching, did God speak? What happens when God speaks? And we looked at that. And our hearts are able to discern when God is speaking. We have been trained to look for God in all things. And we re changing. We re growing, Church, we re growing. We re growing. We re growing in faith. The light has become our life. We are the light of the world. We are a city set upon a hill. In other words, they can t be hid. In other words, there s purpose. There s purpose to God giving us to be the light of the world. We are the difference-maker in a dark world. We walk among them that don t get it as those that do get it. And our mission is to help them see the light. That s your duty. That s your calling. That s your mission in life. I don t care what your job is. I don t care how old you are. If you get it, if you are the light, if you get that you are the light, it is your duty as a human being who is illuminated by Christ to reflect who he is in truth and in grace. Because of him we have received grace and truth and fullness. If we have received the life that is Christ, we have received the fullness of grace and truth. And if you have, then it is your duty, in fact the very demand of grace and truth is that you reflect that nature to them who don t know it. I m not talking about just being nice to people. Because we can all act nice to people. But we re talking about embodying and embracing the new identity of what you have become by virtue of what Christ has offered you by his resurrection. And you have received the spirit of that. And we re just now beginning to understand what it means to walk in the spirit that raised him, the spirit of that, the spirit of that. The spirit of that church. The spirit of that. A raising of a man from death, a righteous holy man from death who had become sin for us, that s a miracle in itself. God said that s the most expressive way that you can know me. In fact, the Bible calls it the righteousness of God is seen in this very thing, that God paid the price of sin for every man. I mean, of all the great ways you can know God, beautiful mountains, and the heavens and heavenlies, and all the wonders of the Earth, and all the splendors that he has created, nothing speaks more profoundly of him, nothing. Nothing. Nothing more than the price he

6 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 6 paid to have us inhabit his life. He took the offense out of the way, and the good news of the gospel is it s freely given. And God said let my love be perfected inside of you. And you know what, we re getting it. I m just here to tell you we re getting it. I want you to know that today. I want you to know that today. You re getting it. We re changing. We re growing. We re growing. We get it. Our meetings are powerful. The spirit of the Lord shows up. We come together with such joy and anticipation. It s so easy for us to weep before God. We hear with such anticipation. We re ready. We re engaged. When God wants to open his mouth we re all leaning forward. We re pressing in. Why? Why? Not because we have good meetings, but because we know God is here, and something of light is going to be bursting forth inside of me. And we get it. We get it. We get it. We get it. We re changing. We re growing. We re growing. You see, Church, it s not all about striving. Sometimes it seems that way when we teach the Scriptures. It seems that we re giving instructions on what to do, what to do, you know, there s always this search for application, application, how shall I apply that, how should I apply it. It s almost like, you know, you ve got a box of tools in front of you, and a blueprint, and you want to pick up some tool and build something. Hogwash. That whole mentality of you doing something needs to be put away. Because it s not about you doing anything. It s about you accepting the fact that God has done everything. Can you accept that? It s about God doing everything for you. He didn t ask you to do anything. He said you can t do anything. That s what got us into trouble, doing something. He told Adam, Let me do it all for you. Adam said okay, up unto a point. When Adam did something, he died. So if we understand life and death on the basis of what Adam did, I think we ll learn something. Because as long as Adam was doing what God wanted, Adam was in fact just receiving. And thus Adam knew God. On what basis? Receiving from him. He knew God on the basis of receiving from him. God gave him things to do in his mind, and thus we see the authority given that Adam was walking in because, listen, God told him he could name everything. But believe me, everything that he named was already in the agreement of God s mind. He just needed an instrument to carry it out. Adam

7 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 7 didn t name anything according to a way God didn t want. He was in agreement with all of it because he was in agreement with God, because Adam was in agreement with God. Do you understand that? So we can see that, when we can allow our life to be totally given by God, that there is a connection in terms of our duties, our things that we re doing, and walking in the will of God. There s an intimacy between us and God that assures that the things that we are doing will be according to his will. That s almost like Adam walking in the Garden. In other words, God s giving you permission to do things, but he can trust you to do it because he knows you are deriving life from him, and everything you do is in response in to him. So why wouldn t he trust every thing that you do? You re not doing anything that wasn t already given to you. Are you saying Amen. CONGREGATION: Amen. PASTOR WINGFIELD: Can you get that? Because you re only doing what you ve received from him to begin with, when you know that your life emanates from him. So why wouldn t he trust you? Because he knows you re deriving all things from him. He said, Adam, let s keep it that way. Because the day you decide on your own to do for yourself, that day you die. So then death, then, is doing for ourselves. Which takes us away from the relationship that God wants to have for us, with us. He said, of the trees, all of you can eat from except that one there. And the reason he ate from that one was because of what he could do for himself after he did it. You see, I don t think that tree was any different than any other. I think that tree looked like all the rest of them. It just happened to be in the middle. And he said, the day you take from it. Because God understands seeing things from the inside. He understands that, when you do it, there s a reason you do it. You see, the things that we kind of have operating in us when we want to hear, what s the application, what s the point of application, so we can do something. God is realizing what s going on inside of your heart is really not spiritual at all. We think it is, but it really isn t. It s not spiritual at all. It s not relationship with God at all. It s still working on that mentality that I ve got to make sure I please God because there s so much wrong with me. And I just want to do the right thing because there s so much

8 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 8 wrong with me. I m so aware of what s wrong with me. And that s the reason that we keep doing wrong things, because we re fixated so much on what s wrong with me. People are running from God because they feel that they can t do the right thing. And so some don t even want to hear the words of God because it gives them more guilt. It just to them separates them more and more from God. And God is saying, wait, where are you going, child? That s what God is saying. Where, child, where are you going? You re just running, running, running, running. And I ve taken care of all of these things that are bothering you, if you would only stop in your tracks and look at who I am. I m God. I do for you what you cannot do for yourself. I have already cleaned you. I have already paid your debt. All these things you re worried about, I ve already satisfied the debt requirement of those things. Stop repeating them because that doesn t define your life anymore. That defines something that was paid for that s only repeated because of ignorance of the truth. He said the truth is what makes you free from that. Because really that s enslavement. And Paul said, No longer be a slave to sin. Why? Because they shall not have dominion over you. Do you all know I m preaching right now? CONGREGATION: Yes. PASTOR WINGFIELD: Okay. Because if you need to read a Scripture, I can get the Scriptures out. Okay. Okay. I just wanted to make sure because I know we have visitors here, and I don t want anybody think I wasn t preaching. He said sin, sin will no longer have dominion over you. Well, when did that change? That changed when Christ rose from the dead. That took away the dominion of sin. The law of sin was removed at that point. So therefore the condition whereby men naturally do for themselves ended right there in the grave. So those who continue to take life in your hands and still try to do life for yourself, you re living in a system that has already been resolved, obsolete, put down long ago, before we got here. So the whole act of God now is to bring people into the knowledge of the truth that that season is over. And God is saying to you, you may now come freely to the throne of grace and receive mercy in the time of your needs. You can freely come. You can freely come. So life now is

9 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 9 letting God do for me, where I thought life was me doing better for me. Life now is letting God do for me because then God becomes me. How many of you are okay saying that? God becomes me. Or you know what, that makes the Devil mad. I just thought that that statement makes the Devil really disturbed because theology, or that carnal thinking of that would say, well, did that just elevate you to God? Well, when Jesus called himself a son of God, yeah. And the Devil wanted to stone him for that because he made himself equal with God, because he called himself a son of the Father. And he said the Father has known me, and I have known him. And the Devil rose up and said, what gives you the right to say that? And that s what the Devil would say today. If I tell you to say My life is God, the Devil will rise up in the back of your mind and say, What gives you the right to say that? And all you have to say is Jesus. Jesus, on the basis of his name. I can say it without shame. My life is God. My life is God. And when I do it, I tear down all of the doubts and fears by confession. You save yourself. You believe it in your heart, but you have to confess it with your mouth. You believe it inside. You want to believe it. But when you confess it with your mouth, I mean, the principle s right there in Romans 10, and we look at that in terms of salvation. Listen, salvation is the new life that we have that we re talking about. And if you believe that new life, then you confess it to set yourself free. I mean, it s a different level of acquisition when you actually say a thing. I mean, if God just sat wherever he would sit and think about creating life and never spoke anything, it d still be contained up in his head. He wouldn t be observing anything. He d just be feeling it. Right? But he didn t just feel it. He actually said, Let there be, and it was. Let there be, and it was. Let there be, and it was. My life is God, and it is. God said, I am, and he am. Right? Who shall I tell him sent me? I am that I am. He spoke all he needed to say. I am. I am what? I am. And we get that. You see? We get that. We get that. That lives inside of our heart. We talk about our identity and being elevated in our identity. Guys, this is the identity of truth that God wants us to have. It is the identity of truth he wants us to have. And it s okay for us to walk around with this thing because this is the new life. This is the truth walking in the midst of people. Last time I

10 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 10 spoke to you, I recall it, I recalled Pilate saying to Jesus, What is the truth? And then he turned around and walked outside to the people and said, I find no fault in him. And I m saying, Pilate, why are you confused? You asked them what the truth is, and you went out front and told everybody what it was. What is truth? And you said, I find no fault. Truth is perfection. Truth is a human life that is God. Truth is a human life that is God. Are you following that? He said to Jesus, What is truth? And then he went out to the people and said, I find no fault in him. He was saying what truth was. But he didn t see it as God. He saw it in the carnal sense of what can you do? What can you do? Not what can you be. He didn t realize that he was looking right at the truth in human form. You are the truth. Jesus said, if you follow me, like we have been doing, you will know the truth. What is he saying? You will know the new life. And the truth or the life will make you free. The life is a freeing. It s a freeing. I ll be free. Somebody say I m free. CONGREGATION: I m free. PASTOR WINGFIELD: [Laughing] Be about free people, boy, you re free, you re free, you re free, you re free. Hey, listen, you re free to have fun. You re free to laugh. You re free to have a sense of humor. Listen, now, we don t have to sit up and act like we just sucked on lime juice. To be holy we d better look [demonstrating physically]. We can laugh in the community. We can laugh with God. Because we are free. We re free. We are living the truth. And the truth has made us free. And Jesus said, listen, you guys are all pent up with your rules and duties and details. He was talking to the Pharisees. He said, who the son sets free is really free. Your knowledge and all your ways ain t making you free. Who I set free is free. I set you free. Because they said to him, we re not bound by any man. We re Abraham s sons. He said, no, you re not really Abraham s sons. If you were sons of Abraham, you wouldn t have wanted to kill me. Abraham saw me in my day. He saw me. He saw me. We re talking about sight here. Did Jesus walk among Abraham? Not really. But how did Abraham see him? In his heart, he saw the life. He saw the life in his heart.

11 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 11 So life exists, guys. It s reanimated in a human. But it s the virtue of God. Life is the virtue of God. That is why, when God is speaking words, the virtue in those words give you life, even though he s not physically here. Because his words have life in them. The Scriptures say his words are spirit and life. They have the virtue or the nature of God in the words. Jesus said, listen, man lives by every word God speaks, by the virtue that is in the words. That s how Abraham saw Jesus in his day. And Abraham said to the Pharisees, you re not sons of that. You re not offspring of that sight. You re not born by those who can see. Even though you name Abraham as your forefather because you re of his religion, you re not of his spirit. You can t see with the spirit. That s why you want to kill this thing because it doesn t conform to your rules. Because light and dark are not the same things. Because in dark you ve got to work and earn your credentials. What gives you the qualification to say that you are a child of God? Who are you, Jesus, to teach us the meaning of life? Who are you to come into the temple and tear up the tables? What gives you the right? We know your background. We know your credentials and your pedigree. That s all coming out of the dark. But in the spirit there is the frequency of the virtue of God that exists beyond the human eye level. Your heart must perceive it. And that s what s happening here. That is what s happening here. Like rolling thunder. That s what s happening. The frequency of that virtue has become the standard of the community. I m just here to tell you. The frequency of that virtue is the standard for this community. It s the spirit that defines us. Now, if these words today make you wonder, if these things sound foreign to you, if you re sitting there saying, well, I m not sure I m of that, then you have some work to do. And guess what, I can t tell you what that is. You should know. Because I just defined for you something God is doing. And when you re of God, you follow God and not men. And I m telling you how God has made himself resident here. I m telling you how the voice of God is heard here. I m telling you the nature of the atmosphere, the attitude when we come together, to prepare you to expect from God and to receive from God. Jesus said, if any man is of the light, he hears my words. If any man is of the truth, of the light, he hears me. He hears my words. That s the best I can do, guys. Listen. You have to be of a certain quality to

12 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 12 hear. We re going to be a spiritual community no matter what. I m not going to lead with the arm of carnal flesh. Not going to do it. Not going to do it. We are going to be a spiritual community. That s what gives life. Nothing else gives life. And carnality, if we sniff it out, we ll kill it. And we re not going to be a carnal community. We have to be led by the spirit. Born of the spirit, led by the spirit, raised by the spirit. We have to be. So Father, thank you, Lord, for visiting this house, for dwelling here. You said if any man would obey your commandments, you would come unto us and sup with us, and we with you. We thank you for supping with us, Lord, dining, fellowship with us. These things you re showing us, God, it takes faith to receive. And such joy abounds when we do. We thank you for making us new vessels, new creatures. Thank you for breaking off the shackles of the old, and thank you for building us up in our new mind and our new mentality. Thank you for giving us a heart to comprehend, a spirit that jives with your spirit, that communes in consensus and oneness with your spirit. Thank you, because you re feeding us with the air that we breathe. You re feeding us with the words that you speak, the fellowship, the sharing. The light comes on in every word that you speak. We re seeing life. We re receiving the divine life. We re interfacing with divinity, with the power of heaven, coming to us every time you speak. We engage you, and you re causing our hearts to grow and our faith to grow. We thank you for that. Thank you that this is the new normal. Thank you that your virtue, your grace, your truth is in full display here and in full arrangement here. And we live from it. We receive from it, Lord. And we thank you for that. Thank you for the power to believe beyond our previous level of accomplishments. God, we are not trying anymore with our sweat. We re not building altars with our strength. But Father, we are learning to trust what you have said through Christ and what you have done through Christ. We are accepting that by faith, and we re letting you do the work of rearranging what we understand to be life and tearing down inside our own minds what we used to think and how we used to rely upon how we felt and what we were trying to do on our own accord. And now, God, we are letting

13 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 13 you be our life. And we re drawing from you and giving everything that happens to us, we re accepting it from you, God. Father, thank you for being our life. There s peace that comes to us when we realize that you are everything. We don t doubt anymore. We re not condemning ourselves. We re not weighing on the scale of good and bad. But we re fully receiving your full grace. The life that you have lived through Christ is now upon us. We thank you for it. Thank you that sin has no power over us. It has no dominion over us. It does not dominate us. We thank you that we have thrown that old vestiture away, that old garment that we have to sin, that we are weighted down by our carnal nature, and that we have to drag this thing along and be constantly tormented by it. Father, we thank you for giving us understanding about that. Thank you for the power of death, that the real death can only happen once. And from that death springs forth a life by your spirit. And that s the spirit that s given us life. We thank you, Father, that as has already been spoken in this house, we have eyes to see our salvation. Thank you. Now, Father, we pray, feed into that. Whatever happens when you come to this level of understanding, God, do that next thing for us. Add measure, add increase from the new platform of understanding that we re upon, the new identity of ourselves, the new understanding of the truth, the new clarity that comes with confessing that this human life we have, it is truth. I am truth. Because I am in the light. I am the light of the world. I am the truth the world needs to see. And I m fully involved. I m fully engaged. Can that be you today? Can you say that? I m fully engaged, Lord. CONGREGATION: I m fully engaged. PASTOR WINGFIELD: I m fully engaged... CONGREGATION: I m fully engaged...

14 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 14 PASTOR WINGFIELD:...with the truth that is about me. CONGREGATION:...with the truth that is about me. PASTOR WINGFIELD: That my life, I am the truth because I m the light of the world. CONGREGATION: I m the light of the world. PASTOR WINGFIELD: And there s no fault in me. Ooh, you all got soft on that one because you re scared to say it. But listen, we have an advocate with the Father. And just as profoundly as he is there to confess our sins to, we know that the occasions may come. But I want you to start not from giving room for the occasions. Come on, guys, take that foothold away from the Devil. We re not starting by giving room for our failures. When Jesus looked at the woman has already been preached here. And he said, I find no fault in you. Go and sin no more. That woman had just committed the act. She couldn t go away walking in faith, knowing she had just done it. She probably still looked like she d just done it. But he said, I don t find any fault in you. So quit looking at fault in yourself. Come on, rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Let the peace of God, let the joy of God that God has upon you, let him know that his work and his blood was enough for you. Come on, let him know that your redemption is precious to you. Let him know that his work was enough. Don t make him think he s got to give you more because you just can t be cleansed. You just can t be clean. His blood is great enough. It s strong enough. His redeeming power, his redeeming love, it was good enough. And he said, I find no fault. He may have to wash your feet through the ministry of others. He may have to come alongside through someone and help you overcome something or deal with something. But you start with the statement, You are already clean. That s what he said. You re already clean. And if you don t let me engage you this way he told Peter this. If you don t let me engage you like this, you have no part with me.

15 Zion Assembly / / Abide in My Words 15 There s no other, there s nothing else. There is no other life. There s no other way. This is how it works. This is how it works. Jesus is real. He s become manifest in you. Nobody can say that Jesus isn t real. Jesus, they re looking right at him when they re looking at you. They re looking right at him. They may call him by your name, but they re looking right at him. They re looking right at him. They re looking right at him. Take on that, saints, come on, take it, take it. Take it and walk in that. Take it and walk in it. Take it and walk in it. Take it. They re looking at him. They re looking right at him. They re looking at you. They re calling him by your name, but they re looking right at him. I am the light of the world. Thank you, Lord. Oh, God, we put that mantle up on us today. We put that mantle upon us today to walk it out, to walk it out with strength and gladness and joy and glory, put a smile on our faces. Lord, as you make us remember this when we engage people, put the joy of Jesus upon us. Put a smile of Jesus on our face. Put the glow, the glory, come on, somebody, put the glory, the glory of Jesus, put it on me. Put in on me, Lord. Put it on. Let me engage people a new way. Let them see a new me.
