It is all about the cross it is about the cross is about the cross of Christ. But we want to encourage you this morning I'm I'm going to read from Joshua chapter one. Joshua chapter one from verse three, okie give you every place where you set your foot as I promised Moses, your territory will extend to the desert to the Lebanon from the great river of the Euphrates to the Hittite country to the Mediterranean Sea. And to the west, no one. This is for many this morning. This verse five is for many no one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life as I was with Moses, so will I be with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you. God has not left you. God has not forsaken you God is with you. Wherever you are today. Across this globe, Christ is reviewing the Holy Spirit is guiding you the power of God is upon you. And we just want to encourage you this morning and we're encouraging ourselves this morning because everyone needs that encouraging model and everybody needs that brother or sister just to encourage them He says very clearly inverse Life of Joshua chapter one. No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life as I was with Moses, so will I be with you? I will never leave you nor forsake you be strong and courageous. Many of you this morning many of us this morning are finding it very difficult to be strong and courageous. Many of us may be struggling with the issues of life, we may be just struggling with workplace pressure, we may be struggling as a single parent family, you may be struggling just as a human being whatever it may be, you are blessed you are a daughter, you are a son of the living God. And we want to encourage you this morning, never give up. Your body may be tired, your mind could be weary. You may be just absolutely frying all the toys out the pram, but God is with us. Whatever way you look at it, God is with you. The Holy Spirit is with you. Verse six, Be strong and courageous be Be careful because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers on their ancestors to give them again, verse seven, Be strong and courageous. Be careful to obey all the law My servant Moses gave you do not turn from it from the right and on the left, that you may be successful. Wherever you go, keep this book of the law always on your lips. Keep the Word of God on your lips. Just keep quoting the Scripture just keep just giving him praise. You know, just say Father, I thank You, Lord, that I am blessed and highly favored Lord, I don't look at my outside physical circumstances. Lord, I trust you this morning you are the God of Israel and father, I come to you this morning. Wherever you are across the world. I just want to let you know again God is with you. If you are unwell this morning, God is with you. If you are going through a mental health issues, if you are thinking of suicidal thoughts, if you are at home alone, if you feel fearful, worried if you're at work, capturing it, wherever you are on a building site, in office, wherever you are walking on the school, run whatever you may be doing, I believe in the word of God and I believe that this where the scripture says I will never leave you nor forsake you. He's with you to the very end of this age, an interesting tech three. But he says keep this book of the law always on your lips meditate on it day or night Father, I pray that Your word father will be pressed on a tablet of our heart and we will meditate on His Word. In the mighty name of Jesus. He says further down in verse nine Have I not commanded you have I not commanded you be strong and courageous Do not be afraid. sisters, brothers, boys, girls, whoever you are, wherever you have come in from whatever your nation is, wherever you are kept capturing this live stream service today. Or this this watching it back later on wherever it may be. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. Do not let fear be a part of your life. Do not let fear grab hold of you. You are a child of the living God, whatever you're fearful for or about if you feel that fear is grabbing hold of us just just simply pray, Father, take this fear in the name of Jesus take this bear now. Father, take worry away from me. I'll get worried I'll get fearful I get anxious. I have moments where anxiety kicks in. You know, I have panic attacks and all that sort of stuff. All the razzmatazz that goes along with that, you know, there comes moments in our lives where the human body suddenly kicks in the adrenaline, the chemicals in the mind, you know that the brain that just the processing of life is okay to worry. But come on. Let's not let that let's not let the worry grab us because fear is not a part of God's plan. And I really believe this morning, wherever you are, be strong and courageous. Let me just emphasize this with my brothers around the table this morning. Be strong and courageous. Be fearless in your faith. Hold on to the Word of God. God is with you. He's with your daughters, he's with your sons is with your family is with your friends. You know, salvation is powerful. Let's remind ourselves again, we can't lose our salvation, because it has been given by the greatest the King of kings and the Lord of lords, you are saved. Let's just remind ourselves let's tell the devil this morning. Listen, I am saved. I am a child of the living God. I am blessed and highly favored. You can try to throw the fear arrow at me as much as you want. But I'm going to remind you that my God created you I'm going to remind every demonic force out there this morning that my God created the heavens and the earth. My God is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. My God is the God of Israel. So these thoughts these demonic, oppressive outside press that the enemy tries, I will not allow it to attach itself to me because I am a son of the living God. I am a daughter of the living God he is my garden he is my king. So anyone that is going through any thoughts where we got to be careful of certain areas of the Pentecostal movement and all what we know because they will just keep beating the drum that the devil is on the towel. Well the devil is under my feet in the name of Jesus. The scriptures tells me very very clearly the devil is under my feet. He has given me strength, God has given me strength to trample on the lion and the cobra, He is my God, He is my king, the devil is defeated. And he might be trying to do what he's doing on the outside, but he is not going to influence my life. I don't even need to give him any more attention. Fear is just part of normal life. When you look at the disciples, he said, Lord, if that's you, I will jump out the boat. And I will come and I will walk to you. You know, one of them great disciples jumped out the boat, he walked on water. But as soon as he looked at what, as soon as he looked at the natural elements around him, fear will come in. Because it's part of the makeup, it's part of us, but it is not going to take us out. You know, it is part of the physical life that is part of this life that we live in. It is to be expected, you've only got a look at the great prophet that ran under the juniper tree, and he fell and he prayed, Lord, I've had enough now take my life, he was running in fear, because of Jezebel, because of the message that the messenger sent him, you know, so you will find in many places in the Word of God, were great men reacted in fear. You will find great men, great writers, great writers have the word of God spoke in fear in certain places of their life, the one that said, Lord, if that's you, call me and I will come. Christ was calling him out of the boat, Christ was calling him come to me. He said, If that's you, I'm coming call Me Lord. So he was walking in his calling, he was walking in his colon, by Christ, and we're even when you walk in your calling, you can still be very fearful, even when you walk in your gifting, you can still be very fearful, not because fear is greater than faith. It is because sometimes I've got to recognize that yes, I am a human being. And yes, it is the part of life. And yes, I will not believe that the skin on the drum that the church preaches that are that all that I can do all things through Christ, and I'm never going to be fearful. I'm never going to be ill. I'm never going to be bla bla bla, because I will find in the Scripture. Three times I pleaded with the Lord, extract this, take this from me. But God said, No, My grace is sufficient for you. So wherever you are today, God's grace is more than sufficient for you. His grace is more than sufficient for you. You are blessed. You are a child of the living God, you will make it through not because of your physical strength, but because of the strength of the living God. And he loves you. And I pray today that you will take hold of Joshua, chapter one. And maybe one of my brothers may pick up Psalm 23 through this, and we will read Psalm 23, as we press on, but I just want to encourage you this morning, God is with you. God is with you. He's with your children. He's in your marriage. He's in your life. He's in your workspace. He's with your family. He's with your parents. Yes, bold statements. But I serve a bold God. I serve the God created the heavens and the earth. And he said, Let there be light. And there was, and I love that place in the Scripture, where I believe it's the psalm it writes, even darkness becomes light, when you step into it God, when God steps into a dark space, the darkness cannot stay. It has to move. Darkness has to react to the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, darkness has to allow, darkness has to go out in the name of Jesus. So wherever Christ is, darkness cannot be because darkness has to move. And I pray wherever you are, just remember that Jesus is with you, the Holy Spirit of the counselor, the advocate, the King of Kings is with you this morning. And he is with you to the very end of this age as I finish this prayer as of just finishing what I'm just about to say. It says in the new book, He who began a great work in you are a good work in you will bring it to completion. He who began he started to work. He's responsible for the work, he has to finish the work because we are slaves to righteousness, and we have been bought with a price and that is the price of the blood of the Lamb of God. Jesus Christ died for you and He died for me. You are a conqueror, nothing can separate you from the love of God. That is in Christ Jesus, Romans eight chapter one. There is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, you are free this morning. You are free. You are free because of the blood. You are free because of the word of God you are free because of the scripture has been fulfilled. Come on church. Let's give him a price this morning. Let's just shout the name of Jesus because you are free. We welcome Danny. We welcome Andy will welcome our brother Glenn this morning and everybody online. You know, as I've said earlier at the beginning of this service for podcasting, for I heart, radio and many other platforms that we're using, and our brothers and sisters that are joining us that are partnering with us in the services that we're doing. May God bless you and strengthen you. Good morning, chaps. Good morning, guys. God bless. Thank you Jesus.
Donny Stockburn:Can I just switch it for a minute, being away from Psalm 23? Okay, two pieces of Scripture, one, John four, verse 16. Just a very short word. And it says, and so we know and rely on the love of God that He has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God, and God In Him. Amen. And I just want to hold that there. And this book here that's in front of each one of us is the greatest love story that was ever written the true love story it's ever written. It's written by a very source of love. I'll put some notes down here God spoke to me in week but he is the fountain of love. Where he is where love comes from. It's about the God of love. And his son, the king of love, and the Holy Spirit who is love. He can't bequeath anything but love because he is love. We are in a, we're in this Book of Love, our names when, and of all the stars and, and all the creation that God has made. Millions and millions things we now and things we don't know, of all those things we always most precious creation. And his whole book is about his love for us. And Lord, it says here a little quote, as great a script as virgin, that great preacher. He says, As long as there is a Christ, you shall live in his love. I don't know what it does to you. Amen. But it pings me down to God, I don't want to move out of his presence, I love of God. And yet there are times in the Christian lives, although God is in us. And his love is in us as well. This word says sometimes we seem to run out of love. You're on the way here this morning I had a few people shoot have me in front of me, while I was singing the hymn or suddenly changed and, and all love went out of me I chose into another being though I almost love just when. And we can go through periods like that, as Christians, a kind of apathy comes in a kind of forgetting of this divine love that sent his Son into the world to save us even though he was steeped in sin and in awful mess. He loved this man God loved us. Yes, father and father which is come now to Jesus name law. And we confess that we have run out of love and and we can see there are times when that kind of apathy comes in Father God, and that looseness towards his divine love. And love is faithful love that will not bite down. Divine Love is the word God always gives me to pray about that. And to fill our hearts with it right up to the very top. And then to press it down and pour some more in. So there's an overflow, Lord. And that's what we want, Lord, come if you've got that need to dive you realize you run out I love you invite plies, because God says, asked me enables for I think it is she's asked me and we come to ask the Lord. We can't force you to fill us up with Divine Love, Lord, not a love of this world. No love between a man and a woman sizes for you. But divine love, love that comes from you, Lord, because you are a source of love. You are a fountain of love. And there is no love but but for you. You are the source of it. So we come to the source this morning, Lord, and we confess, Lord that we've run down on that one thing Lord bought us to love when we fall off, you loved us. And a father which is asked you now in Jesus name, to bring that love into his Lord we we don't ask for a river load or trickle or puddle of love or top up. We also an ocean Lord, an ocean of your divine. Yes. Fill us up, Lord. Yes farfield us out with that love Lord. So when we go out it will be seen in our eyes. It will be heard in our voices. It will be in our mannerism in our body language. Everything lonelier be, it'll be almost so say out of control with divine love. Laura, I'll stick now for all those for your whole church over here. Thought of God. That is show of love. That is one out of love for most, Father God that they will open our hearts. We're getting that prayer room and asked you, Lord, to fill us up. Top is up far to go man, and Lord and so that we are almost supernaturally can't help but be witnesses to you, Lord, that something wonderful is in us. Instead of God. Look God's love, Lord, not our love, but your love. Your love has come into us as your presence come into us. Father God, we just lift it up to you now. Changes Lord, fill us thought God, will your love are priceless. In Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Thank
Reverend Ben Cooper:you, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit.
Glenn Walsh:So love is struggling. This has been tried earlier than Donnie just said about love that people struggle. And I was thinking about when we started this morning, John the Baptist, a man of who Jesus said, Truly, and this is in Matthew 1111. Truly I say to you, amongst those born of women, there's a reason no one greater than John the Baptist. What affirming words and yet, just prior to that, and 11 Verse two, when John heard in prison, about the deeds of the Christ, He sent word by his disciples and said to him, Are you the one? Are you the one who is to come? Or should we look for another? This is John the Baptist, John the Baptist. If you read in John 129 goes, Look behind that same old same the Lamb of God, who can to take away the sins in the world. Yeah. John said, I baptized in water, He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with Amen. Amen. Thank you saying the youth one. Are you the one someone who Jesus said no one greater struggled, doesn't make give hope to you and make it really clear that Yes, beautiful does it's really a prison, John then gets beheaded. You can understand in his struggles, in his, you know, it didn't turn out what he thought it would turn out like, amen. Thank you. Jesus is higher than our ways His ways are different. And I was led to Psalm 103 level in response to this. And God reveals through His Word in Psalm 103, verse 11, for as high as the heavens above the earth. So great is His steadfast love to all those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove their transgressions from from us Amen. As a father shows compassion to his children. So the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him. He knows our frame, thank you. And he remembers that we are dust, John the Baptist, dust struggling?
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yes, Lord,
Glenn Walsh:Jesus says of John, any struggles, he says to His disciples, Go back and tell him, the blind see, the lame walk the Deaf here, blessing to those who don't fall away, on account of me. Thank you today. He says, After hearing John struggles, Truly I tell you, among those born of women, there's a reason no one greater than John the Baptist, what does he sound for us? With our struggles and our doubts? What does he say about us? He says, You're brilliant. He does. He says, I love you your mind. Almost nothing can snatch it from my hands. He says, I came for you. Designed for you. I took your sin upon myself that you may be free in your mind and I am yours. That's what he says us. Well, no sweetest he knows where flesh and as far as Heavens are from the earth. He can't get there, mate. He can get your satellites. You can look out to the stars, you will not find heaven is unreachable. except through Jesus as high as the heavens are above the earth. So great. Is he steadfast love towards those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west. Yeah, different directions. Thank you, God, as far as the east is from the west. Has he removed our transgressions from us? He shows us compassion, just like a father to his children. And he remembers their frame. Lord, I want to thank you that our weakness is no surprise to you, Lord, that our struggles are no surprise to you. We forget we're dust. We forget our limitations, but you know them. And when you say My grace is sufficient for you. Amen, Lord, it's true. It's right. It's in your foreknowledge. You chose us to be holy and blameless in your sight and such work of redemption on the cross. Thank you, Lord, for our steadfastness in you who is with us. Always. Never when you leave us, Never will you forsake us our confidence is in your faithful not in our ability. Not in our dust frame. But in God's who's above and overall, he's going to Father.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Simple text this morning, John 316. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whosoever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. You know what Glenn said, and what? And is going to bring no end is going to bring and God is moving very powerfully and what Don has already brought as well you know, God loves us, we cannot get away from the fact doesn't matter how we think about ourselves. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. That is in Christ Jesus, there is nothing doesn't matter how angry or frustrated I get, he chose to save me. He chose to save us for everyone on the other side of this lens, everyone that will capture this, God is the one that saves Romans eight, the world. First one, the world will condemn us religion will condemn us. The Pharisees and the Sadducees in our lives will try to crucify us. But you know, Romans eight one, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, how do I get in Christ Jesus, he comes to me, he presents himself he presented himself to us before our framework ever came into existence in this world, you are created for him, and by him, you are loved unconditionally. Doesn't matter what's happening at home. It doesn't matter what's happening at work. It doesn't matter how you feel. You cannot save yourself because salvation has come as a gift. The price has been paid 30 pieces of silver, but the blood of Christ has washed us we are redeemed. Let's just think about that a moment. We are redeemed, salvation and redemption, justification, mercy, God is sovereign. That's something those churches don't talk about. He is sovereign, He is the great I AM. He will not be mocked, he will not share His glory with no one. But this greatness of this, this mystery, as the great gospel writer writes, as he puts it, so clearly, this message of salvation is a mystery to human beings. But by revelation or knowledge, God reveals His Word to us at the correct time. So John 316, For God so loved the world. That he gave, see, he gave, he gave me he gave you his one and only begotten Son, He gave us his son. So it has been given. It has been given it has been pressed, it has been pushed, it has been given unto you. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whosoever shall believe, I love the fact that I cannot believe in an eternal God until the eternal God comes into me. Because my human body doesn't understand and cannot grasp and is not looking for Eternal God, because I am living by the way of the world. So I can only put myself in John 316, whosoever believes I don't believe first, he comes before I believe, his coming and his presenting himself to you and to me, that is the trigger point of where we go, I believe, then my physical body comes into line with his word. Salvation does not rest upon you on how great you are, how wonderful you are, how much money you got, salvation is a gift. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever shall believe I cannot believe until he revealed through revelation or knowledge, the power of salvation, because of unconditional love. We should be jumping up and down in our bed this morning. We shouldn't be jumping up and down like Tigger, because we are saved not by our own strength, not our own will not because of free will. Will I've got free will to choose. Well, actually, actually, actually he saved you before the world even came into existence. He Redemption was already in the plants before Adam and Eve popped out of the dust of the earth. God had a plan. What Adam and Eve done in the garden did not take God by surprise. He didn't have to think on the backfoot What am I going to do with this lot? He already had a process he already had everything for new in existence before it even came into physical existence. He's a supernatural God. So what I'm I want to say this morning. My worries are nothing to the God that said, let there be. My God has you and me in the plan of redemption. We're coming to the table soon. We're coming to the table. God is with us. God is with us. He is with you. He is with me. He's guiding you this morning. Bring it all to the table, and he is going to share something now.
Andy Hammond:Thank you for Thank you, Father, just for being with us today. Same, Sam, that we've had a long week already. You're one. But it's only Wednesday. But we thank you for bringing us this far. And a few scriptures have been going through my mind this morning, just as we sat down at this table, this brand new table. It's really great. And Joel 225 says, I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten. Come on Andy, that's a great text and goes on in verse 28, I will pour out my spirit on all people. And, Father, I just thank you for your spirit that you did that. And in Acts 216 to 21 Peter repeats that those verses from Joel when he says the promised Holy Spirit will come. And Father we just pray that your spirit will refresh us today. Come Holy Spirit. Come Yes. Fill us with your
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yes, Lord.
Andy Hammond:And Father, I just pray for that healing power today. Those who need that healing touch from you. Those whose minds are troubled. Those who are anxious.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yeah. Thank you, Jesus. Yes.
Andy Hammond:Can't see getting through the next hour, the next 10 minutes. Thank you. Father, we ask you now to come and meet with them. Bring your comfort and your assurance that you are with them. Yes, Lord. And Father, for those who don't know you. I just quote another scripture from Romans 1013. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, beautiful, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord. So if you're sitting listening to this podcast today, or whenever you sit down and play it back, if you don't know Jesus, if you don't know, God, the three and one. Just call on him now, man, because the promise in Scripture says everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Jesus.
Andy Hammond:We just thank You Father God. Squared scripture is so powerful. It is the authority that as Christians we rely upon. And who is God where it says we're like grasshoppers? Yeah, in His presence. We are like grasshoppers, and he sits enthroned above the circle of the earth. And yeah, I've just read that it's a noise I 40 and his people are like grasshoppers, he stretches out the heavens, like a canopy and spread them out, like a tent to live in. He brings princess to not reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. sooner, are they planted? No sooner are they so no sooner? Do they take root in the ground that he blows on them? And they with an A whirlwind sweep some away like chaff, goodness, To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal says the Holy One. So lift up your eyes to the heavens. Father, we lift up our eyes. Yes, we are tired and weary. Amen. We are tired and weary. But the promise the Nizar is that he will not grow tired or weary. And his understanding no one can fatten. He gives strength to the weary. So if you are weary this morning, just turn to God because he gives you strength. Yes, Lord, Amen. Thank you, Leah. increases the power of the weak. Man, even us grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow, grow weary and the Holy Spirit walk and not be faint. Yes, Lord, Allah, we want to walk with you. We want to be in your presence. We need some restoring today.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yes, Lord, some renewing
Andy Hammond:of our minds.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Jesus.
Andy Hammond:Father, we just feel wearing your promise is that we can come to you. And by your Spirit, you lift us up. You make us strong. Pray that now. For all those who are listening, be strong. And when we feel faint, we you've put out your hand to study us. And marvelous it is to be in relationship with God, overall, our Creator, we come to you. Restore us, renew us, refresh us. Give us that power, so that we can take your message, that message of salvation. We want to tell others what you've done. Thank you, Father God, to send him Jesus, your Son, the Holy One. How amazing. Father God, that we can be a relationship with you the Creator? Yes, father. Thank you, father. Yes, Lord, be with us. And Father, we ask that you. We knew each one of us sitting around this table today. Give us that strength and encouragement. We just want to be encouraged. So that all those things that you have in store for us, store for us. Although sometimes it's scary. But you walk with us. We want to be in your presence. We want to feel you beside us. Yes, law, we want to feel you're taking us by the hand and saying Not this way. But that way. We want to feel your guidance. We want to hear Your word. So we thank you that you spoken to each one of us this morning. How amazing is that? Amen. And you do it every week? Yes, Lord, you do. I'm so surprised that that that you do it every week, and you never fail. That's a good thing. You never fail. Amen. So help us when we track and stumbled on when we found that you pick us up and you dust us down. And just like an infant who's learning to walk you you pick us up and encourage us. Thank you. I just say thank you, Jesus. Amen. Amen.
Glenn Walsh:Amen. Yeah, that scripture read Andy those who trust in the Lord can also be translated those who wait upon the Lord knew their strength. And another thing for everyone a cause in the name of Lord will be saved is another everyone in one John five, verse four. And it's for everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Jesus, everyone.
Glenn Walsh:Everyone who's been born of Gods overcomes the world, not some everyone. And then it goes on to say, and this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith. The righteous shall live by faith. And then, if you like one, John one, John three, verse two, Beloved, we are God's children now. It's not something we're going to become we are God's children now. And what we will be is not yet appeared. Why, but we know when He appears, we shall be like Him. Yes. Seemed let's yes, no struggling in heaven because they were not seen in us we will be perfect in every way, just like Jesus, because we shall see Him as He is one of my destiny. Amen. Father, we do thank you that we overcome the world. We've overcome the world. Lord, we look at the world and we look at the chaos and we look at the nose and think what What a mess. And we've already overcome it. We're not part of it. We're just floating through this world with this Good News of redemption. And lords, we're your children now. We call you father now. Now yet we're not yet what we will be. Because when we see you, Jesus, when You come and take us by the hand and lead us into glory will be like you. What a destiny. Thank you, Lord that you chose, such as us. Common and you've made us holy. Thank you, Lord. Thank You, Lord, and we stand on that. We know it's true. What a reality. We've got the God of glory, living in us, you've made us temples of your Holy Spirit. All we can cry and pray, Lord is more of your Holy Spirit. Yes, more of you more of your anointing. More of your kingdom come here on the earth. Amen. Lord, we want those Pentecost days. We want the buildings to shake, and we want people to be moved. We want those who are dead in their transgressions and sins, to come alive. And know your grace and love on their lives. Lords, we're calling for revival. We don't want this good news hidden away in little corners. Lord, we do pray, just like you told us to Your kingdom come, your kingdom come your kingdom, not church. Not man's effort and weird, dear. It's it's silly,
Donny Stockburn:king of love.
Glenn Walsh:We just pray Your kingdom come, Your will be done here on earth. Amen. Lord, just as it is in heaven, just as it is in heaven, Lord, come and fill our lives with your presence.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yes, Lord.
Andy Hammond:I just believe this is for someone today in Isaiah 41. It says firsthand, so do not fear. For I am with you. Do not be dismayed. For I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. And in verse 13, it says, I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you do not fear I will help you.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you for that. Lord,
Andy Hammond:I will help you. Thank you, Father God.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yeah, brothers and sisters. We are coming to the table right now. Donnie and Andy are gonna gather us just around the bread and the wine and Glenn will close in prayer very, very soon. And as we just rest in His presence this morning, let's just be still and know that he's garden as I hand over to Donnie, that's going to pray and pray over the bread. And maybe Andy will pray over the the wine that represents the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ over to you, Danny.
Donny Stockburn:Okay. Just before we do that, just to remind you of a few things that we've been going over today, and is a kind of a word of knowledge here. And that sums it up nicely, I think. And it says this, you're struggling while Islam at your baby laying in bed can him get out begging, you look out and you see nothing but troubles and mountains. You don't I can get by all things. It says this, this is the word of God. As long as there is a Christ, you shall live in his love. You understand that? As long as Christ is, we will live in his love live in it and not have it locked, but we will live in it. And it will live in us. And Wislawa into that. And yes, we will fail. Yes, I'm not yet perfect. Yes, I'm weak, and I run for it sometimes. But my salvation is all about God's faithful love, not about my fullness. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for that word, Lord, that nothing. Absolutely nothing can take your our life away in you away from us, Lord, that is secure, is secured by the blood of the same Father God we just thank for the law mix. You've come to the table now. And no Lord, as if it was there that night. He was there with the disciples, Lord and we we take this burden as you told us to remind us of how is all this came into us, Lord, not to us, but into us. Or we are in a Lord forever. As long as there is Christ, we own it. And that is forever solo which is remember your sacrifice. And you're even more on top of that right now. Lord, your glorious love your divine love. You are a king of love. You are a source of love. You are a fountain of love. And you gave your love for us Lord of all creation. We are your precious, most precious pearl, which is thank you Lord as we take this bread We remember how it all came to be for us in Jesus name. Amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you Holy Spirit
Andy Hammond:Yeah, fathers we come to take the wine. We remember the blood that you shared for each one of us. And I just got Jonah's prayer. In chapter two of Jonah, just read this verse to, in my distress. I called to the Lord. And He answered me.
Reverend Ben Cooper:What a beautiful scripture. Thank you, Jesus washed in the blood, thank you. We are saved, we are saved, we are loved. We are children of the living God. Doesn't matter what our outside circumstances look like. We are saved, we are saved, you are safe. Because you belong to Jesus, you are saved, because the Holy Spirit is your counselor. You are saved because of the God of Israel. The God of Israel, the God of the universe, the God of all, is living inside of you. Yes. Beyond beyond human understanding beyond knowledge, beyond logic, beyond just the psychological processing of life beyond physics, beyond anything beyond science, he's beyond. But he's living in, he's living in you, and he's living in me. And I've got nothing else to say. I can't thank. Yeah, Don said, Thank you.
Glenn Walsh:We've been woven into. You want to be the lowly the God of Israel. Yes. It's our inheritance. Yeah, because of him. And my closing words before nd tells us about a gift that you can save, is what Andy said earlier from Isaiah 40. And then verse 41. So Isaiah 40, little bit 26, lift up your eyes on higher and see. And then down to verse 28. His understanding is unsearchable. Wow. He gives power to the faint. Thank you, Lord, and to him who has no might. He increases strength. And then over to 41, verse 10. To Fear not, for I am with you, thank you, do not be dismayed. For I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous. Yes, Lord. So within that you can't let God down. Why? Because you never held him up. Amen. He says, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. So Lord, we do try that as the final blessing. For those who are done our way we're unable to carry on. Let them know you're strengthening. Lift them up, Lord, just like your Word says, for Your word is truth. And your word is life. Amen. That supernatural life. Amen. Like when is he killed saw that valley of dry bones dead and wasted and gone? Nothing more than dust in the desert. And yet God said speak words of life. prophesied Jesus. So we do speak over the weary we do speak over the faint. We do speak to those who have no Knight, Holy Spirit. Come and bring your strength. Bring Fresh Hope, fresh revelation, because you know the plans you have for this host law to get planes to give us a hope and a future. Life Everlasting and life in abundance in Jesus name. Amen.
