✗ The mask has got to go | Carl Lentz ✗

• When you meet Jesus you have the right to meet Him face to face so the mask in your life has got to go
• Even though we met Jesus, there is a lot of people who still put up the mask
• You have the right to know real freedom
• The moment you get saved, you have the right to drop who you were and pick up who He is - Real freedom, real security, real transparency, real calling, real purpose, real passion
• How can we leave a church setting and hit the streets and tell people to be real if you can't be real in church
• God is going to create a type of church atmosphere, where you are going to come as you are, you can be you, mask off, face to face in the living God
• Genesis 3:8-10
• You can do away all the old labels
• If God ever ask you a question, it is not cause He doesn't know
• People are fearful of exposing who they're really are
• When you get scared, you put on the mask
• 2 Corinthians 3:18
• "When one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed... And where the spirit of the Lord there is freedom..."
• God can't work with your mask 
• Are you going to let God minister to you or your mask because there is no mask ministry in heaven
• You get behavior modification but God is about soul transformation and it can only happen when the masks comes off
• Multi masking is soul texting - It is hard work to be somebody who you are not suppose to be
• The mask came in and the peace went out
• You might be tired, but God is going to get you through it
• It is just not fun being somebody who they are not called to be
• It is so good to be free
• You have to resist the urge to reach in and pull out the mask (Eg. Strength mask - You are not the rock, Jesus is the rock, Happy mask, Sex appeal mask)
• Only in the real Jesus can you find the real you and if they see the real you they see the real Jesus
• Let the mask go, and then we get to see God move in supernatural power
• The masks exist because it covers up the need
• We need Jesus - Our relationship is on need
• Don't pretend that it is anything but Jesus
• When the heat is on, the truth comes out
• Don't get caught in the fight and find out you are a fake
• You can fake Christianity for awhile
• We go to church out of the love of Jesus
• Better than it comes out now
• Find out right now what is in you because God gotta need the real you
• The issues that you face tonight is not even about you but is about somebody who needs you
• To hold on to that masks is the most selfish thing you can do
• You get over your issue, and maybe you can help somebody else get over their issue - This is Jesus following
• The heat is on, and it should always be on - Get use to the confrontation
• He does not put on the mask of compromise ever
• Mask 1: Unnecessary complexity for the freedom of supernatural simplicity
• Mask 2. Drop the mask of selfish solo (me), and feel the freedom (Jesus) of supernatural yofo 
• After Jesus, life is all about the give - It feels good when you live for others
• Mark 1:40-45
• Jesus did not want to get the message get caught in the miracle - He was still consumed with other people
• I only live once, how can I bless somebody?
• There is still more to come - As much as He's done in your life, have a feeling that there is more
• Enjoy God's blessing but don't forget the burden for the lost
• If you have a collection, you better have a really good reason for it, because if you can't take it to heaven, why are you treating it like you can?
• James 4:13-14
• The masks of selfishness can be painful to peel off, but the result is too good to pass up
• Our God owns the world, He is above it all
• The question is not if but how much and if you are going to handle it well
• We can't have extra, when people have nothing
• You got to get over it, and people would need what God has put in your end
• Before you can do anything about it, your spirit leaps towards selfishness and that is why we would need Jesus to break that cycle
• I pray that you get to heaven with empty pockets
• What if what somebody needs in Jesus, you have?
• What you have in your hand it is more powerful that you think it is
• But you also don't know what other people have on them
• There is so much more to come in your life, there is more in your hands, more opportunity, more ability to reach people than you think there is, so Jesus gave it all so you can give it away - People need Jesus now
• The only collection that you want are the names of people that you gave money to that you never met, and you giving towards dreams that you see flourish
