what an awsome time last night at the Experience. my message was called "NEVER SURRENDER". it was a look at never surrendering to the attacks against us in life. i used the story of moses when he had to keep his hands lifted in order to win the battle. and the story where the expert sailors who were transporting Paul lost all hope during that storm. i opened with a 5 min clip from "Kingdom of Heaven" where the guy surrenders Jerusalem and then he tells the queen, "your brothers kingdom was in his head and in his heart, and that kingdom can never be surrendered". at the end of the message i played a 2 min compiled clip i made from scenes from "saving private ryan". i added the movie theme song as a background audio and while it played i made this statement.
"Never surrender. When life crashes in on you… never surrender. Life is worth fighting for. If you surrender where will you be then? So even when you think “I can’t do this anymore” it’s really your only option. You can make it through anything if you never surrender… when depression attacks you – never surrender; when you cant find the answer to WHY your even doing what your doing – never surrender; when your sick and tired of all the bad things in life falling on you – never surrender; never surrender yourself to bitterness even though it seams to have you…never surrender yourself to hate, even though it seams to have you… never surrender yourself to arrogant pride even though it seams to have you…never surrender yourself to lust and perversion even though it seams to have you… never surrender to the thought that God is not on your side because He created you…never, never, never, never surrender……" then i went right into a time of prayer as we totally surrendered to God, the only way to be able to NEVER SURRENDER to the attacks in this life..
