She's, she's, she's welcome, welcome.

But what you see at change is not just Darius.

It's her.

So it is a ministry partnership.

All right, so let's go to Matthew chapter 18, verse number 21.

It says, then Peter came to Jesus and asked, Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother,

a sister who sins against me up to seven times?

Jesus answered, I tell you not seven times, but 77 times.

I want to stop the reading of scripture there and talk from this subject.

We're in part 12 of a series of teachings called goaded. We're arguing that the goat is the lamb.

The greatest of all time in life is Jesus. You become goaded when you let him do more than save you.

You become goaded when you let him train you. When you you become goaded when you let him train you

when you let him teach you how to live a life not culture's way not church's way but the king's way

and so we're in part 12 of this series and this topic of today's teaching is called I'm above it now

so clap your hands if you're ready for God's word. I'm above it now. I want to leap into this

lesson with this sticky statement. The goal of God isn't just to make us blessed book and busy,

but the goal of God is to make us better. In other words, God's obsession is not simply improvement. God's obsession is

evolution. If I were to use an analogy from the insect kingdom, I would suggest that it is not

the intention of our eternal God to make us a faster caterpillar. God actually wants to transform

us into a butterfly. And I want to speak with some pastoral

confidence and maybe even some prophetic implications. During this Lent season, it's your time to get

some wings. In other words, no more crawling incarnality, no more sliding in stagnation, no more waddling and wading in what was.
