Welcome to Transformation Church Podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found for

transformation in Christ. We're so glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe God will transform your life through today's message.

We are in, this is week three of a series called Launch in Victory. Everybody say Launch in Victory.

And the hope and the goal of this series is really to be the flame to your faith for whatever it is, God has called you to start.

Now I don't know what God has called you to start, but I know that in a room this size with how many people are watching through online church, that there are plenty of things that God, whether through a journal,

whether in a previous season, whether through your time of prayer, through confirmation, through your community, there are things that God has asked you to start.

We all have something in our life that God has asked us to do, that He has asked us to start. And that's all that word means. The word launch means to start to begin something.

And I want to pose to you through this series, what has God asked you to start?

I want you to write it down. What is it? Has He asked you to start writing the book that He gave to you when you were 15? The book idea that you downplayed?

Because you thought, oh that's not the big of a deal, I don't know, I'm not good enough. Is it a business idea? Has He asked you to start dating your wife because you stopped in 1994?

Shout out to still be married, that's exciting, but you got to date your wife and your spouse all through what has He asked you to start? Has He asked you to start being intentional with your children at bedtime?

And not just saying, all right, go to bed, go to bed, be quiet, go to bed, go to bed. Has He asked you to start praying over them? Asking them, like me and my wife do, what do you want to pray for?

And these, now listen, don't ask a three and a two year old what you want to pray for because you could get literally it be the most random stuff Luna's like, I want to pray for, I want to pray for my leg, my leg is hurting, it's hurting mom.

Immediately, just like we'll find a place the God can heal and then he heals it immediately, it's amazing. Teach them that their prayer is working, like oh it's pain, look at the name of Jesus.

Is it better? Come on, do something you couldn't do before. And Luna starts to run around the house shouting, it's amazing.

But what is God asked you to start? Many of us, if we're honest, we have put up fake timelines and things that we feel like we have to have in order to start what God asks us to start.

Only to not realize that God knew what you had and what you didn't have when He asked you to start. And He didn't ask you how much money do you have in the bank account?

Are you really really good at writing or have you produced a movie before or have you done that? No, He didn't ask you how. He just said it's time to start. Somebody say it's time to start.

I wanted you to get that in your mind, it is time to start. I don't know what that means, I don't know what it is, I don't know what small step you need to take.

But it is time to start. If you've been waiting on confirmation, if you've just been praying God, if you just give it to me very clearly God, I'll let you know.

This is your sign, I'm up here in this pink jacket because the blazer is my safe place. Hello somebody. And it is time to start.

It's time to start. We said this the first week because there's this saying that you might have heard it's not important how you started about how you finish.
