Summary

During this special gathering, Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell yields the pulpit to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, leading the congregation into an extended time of prayer, healing, and altar ministry. Rather than delivering a conventional sermon, believers are invited to step away from busyness and sit at the feet of Jesus. The moment serves as a powerful call to lay down heavy burdens, receive emotional and physical restoration, and prioritize God's presence above human plans.

Key Points

1.Spiritual maturity requires having the humility to yield human agendas to the desires and movement of the Holy Spirit.
2.God sees, knows, and cares deeply for each individual, even in a room full of thousands of people.
3.Believers are called to lay down heavy burdens—sickness, marital strife, weariness, and anxiety—at the altar without taking them back.
4.Forgiveness of self is necessary to step into the complete freedom and grace provided through Christ.
5.Followers of Jesus are not called to be passive spectators during times of ministry, but active intercessors who pray for one another.
6.Pastors and spiritual leaders are merely servants pointing to God; believers must guard against making idols out of human leaders.
7.Sitting at the feet of Jesus is far more important than maintaining human schedules or religious busyness.

Sermon Moments

“In a room of over a thousand people, God saw you. He saw you. He knows. He sees. He cares.”

“Don't stare at me. I'm a man. I'm not your idol. I'm not your God. He's above you.”

“The Lord says, 'You need to forgive yourself. You can't carry that any longer. You need to let yourself go.'”

“If you're a follower of Christ, you're not spectating. You can pray. Don't spectate. Pray.”

“If the spirit of God desires to do something different than our plan, then we have the humility to submit to that.”

“Sometimes he wants us to shift from our busyness and our schedule to just sit in his presence and just sit at his feet.”

“You got the best thing today. You got God with no filter.”

This Week

Set aside dedicated time this week to sit quietly in prayer at the feet of Jesus without rushing through an agenda.
Write down your heaviest worries, anxieties, or grievances and intentionally surrender them to the Lord.
Practice self-forgiveness by choosing to receive God's grace for past mistakes instead of carrying lingering guilt.
Read and reflect on Matthew 26:1-16, meditating on what it means to extravagantly honor Christ.
Actively pray for and lay hands on brothers and sisters in Christ who are going through difficult seasons.
Examine your heart to ensure your worship and devotion are centered on Jesus alone rather than human leaders.
Remain flexible and sensitive to the Holy Spirit throughout your daily routine, allowing Him to redirect your plans.

Remember This

True spiritual devotion requires yielding our plans to sit in the presence of Jesus and lay down every heavy burden at His feet.

A Challenge for You

I want to ask you to be mature enough to take a few moments this week, put on your headphones, and listen to the message online so that you can dive deeper into God's Word.
