In this sermon, Pastor Mike Burnette encourages the congregation to start the year with a mindset of transformation, inviting them to ask God, "What changes do You want to make in me?" He emphasizes the importance of daily choices in following God and the privilege of consecrating oneself to receive His blessings, particularly through fasting and prayer. The message challenges believers to leave behind what holds them back and fully commit to living for God, as this year can be a season of wonders if they align themselves with His will.
