HANGING BY A THREED? GOOD.

Let me be straight with you.

I’ve had seasons—maybe you have too—where I wasn’t striding into life with my shoulders back and my head high. I was barely putting one foot in front of the other. Holding on. Just. About. Hanging in there.

Hanging by a threed.

And do you know what I’ve come to realise? That’s not always a bad place to be.

Because sometimes, the thread you’re hanging on to… is divine.

WHEN THE ROOM IS WILD, THE SPIRIT IS MOVING

Before I got into the word before this message, I looked around and saw a room full of people not spectating—but participating. Hungry. Expectant. Wild in worship. That’s when I know God’s about to do something.

Dead churches stay quiet. But where there’s life, there’s volume.

If that’s not your thing, I get it. But when people clap and sing like they’ve actually met Jesus? That’s not performance. That’s power.

THE THREAD RUNS RIGHT THROUGH SCRIPTURE

The message I shared was called “Hanging By a Thread.”But not just any thread. A Crimson Thread.

It shows up all through Scripture. A scarlet cord tied in a window that saved Rahab’s whole house. Blood on doorposts that marked families for rescue in Egypt. The blood of Jesus, spilled for you and me—that’s the thread.

It’s not decoration. It’s protection.

And that thread? It doesn’t snap.

GOD IS STILL SINGING OVER YOU

Zephaniah 3:17 says

“He will rejoice over you with singing.”

We called it God’s “Wrap of the Day.” Because His song over your life isn’t yesterday’s leftovers. It’s fresh. It’s current. It’s wrapped in grace and delivered with purpose.

Some of us are tuning into the wrong voices—fear, shame, distraction. But if you could hear what God’s singing over you? You’d walk taller. Pray bolder. Breathe deeper.

THE 59TH MINUTE

I said it on Sunday and I’ll say it again here:

We are in the 59th minute.

That’s not to scare you. It’s to wake you up. You can’t afford to be spiritually sleepy right now. There’s too much at stake.

But here’s the good news: the thread is still extended. The lifeline is still available. And it’s strong enough to carry your weight—even when you’re not strong yourself.

HERE’S WHAT I’M CHALLENGING YOU TO DO

Before you go back to scrolling or stressing, stop and ask:

Do I need to change my posture? Stand like someone loved by God.
Do I need to change my previous? Your past doesn’t get to own your future.
Do I need to change my prayer? Stop praying small. Knock harder. Ask louder. Move with shameless audacity.

If anything I’ve said here hits home—even a little—I want you to go deeper. Take 45 minutes and watch the full message. Not because I preached it. But because God was in it.

You might be hanging by a thread.

But maybe that’s exactly where God wants you.

As long as it’s the Crimson Thread, you’re not falling. You’re being held.
