Donny Stockburn:Well, we all know, we fight battles, each one of us different battles, illnesses, sicknesses, diseases, accidents and injuries were talking about earlier, all those things. Remember that died in a in a world when they lost months of his life. And he looked across a friend he made friends with someone just across the world. And he was wearing a cowboy book, and metallic LD his Bible up in the air and wag the sort of wind in the air. And he said, I don't know what you're here for. He said, but all the answers you need are in here. And I'll always remembered I've got that picture of him in my mind now. But then I woke up this morning, I was telling F fathers he had all sorts of Angel I might be praying about this morning, and this word came. And it was so strong it reached down from a pen and advice, scribble a few words, I've got them on a paper next to me. And it says this, don't let the enemy bully you into believing these lies. And then a picture of Pilate claiming he, he didn't want to be try Jesus, but he did because of fear. And we can be the same we can get bullied. So we just what do we do about it? God's provided for that scripture. I want to take you to that famous passage Ephesians six, starting at verse 14 to 17, that can be the bump that from first 10 But just do those two for now. And it talks about the armor of God. In this battle we're in and out of being protected and all the rest of it you will see as we go down the army that Stand therefore, having girded, your waist width, the truth. I love that word, having girded your waist with the truth having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and have ensured your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is a word of God. Praying always with all prayer and supplication. Tyson in the spirit, being watchful to this end, with all perseverance and supplication for the saints went on a bit there was one piece of advice, which is go down at the belt of truth. What is the belt truth? Tell the truth is for me is that all the power and all the glory belongs to God. And we are is we always beloved, the whole Bible sings of His love for us. And that's the truth we have too old to in these days, an element of salvation. We already have it, nothing can take it away. So when troubles and fears come and illnesses or sicknesses when you're worrying about your loved ones, and everything, nothing can ever take our salvation away. That's the only of salvation and his righteousness is not held righteousness. I pray every day we go out that God will make our righteousness manifest. So people will see righteousness and holiness, but not ours. That righteousness and holiness comes from God alone. We can rely on that 24 hours a day 100% The righteousness and holiness that he's talking about here comes from God, not from us. I literally for that, and the shoes of the gospel of peace, that they don't wear each day are my cabinet over, trying to tell someone that Jesus every day might be a friend might be a family might be a child or grandchild, or even a great child, grandparent, or just speak to them that word of God. But just make sure that our practice speaking that word of God, should gospel of peace. Lord, I pray note for everybody listening now, Lord, that they will have that peace of courage or faith or whatever it is, Lord, to speak your word. Each day, Lord, and in that way, we keep in line with your gospel. Lord, thank you for that. And the shield of faith, or love that one, Lord, Increase our faith, increase our faith, Lord, give us a massive shield that we can get behind all and shield every single lie. Every single accusation, the enemy throws at us Lord, will be stuck in a shield that will never arrive at us. And Lord, we've just playfully five now Lord, I asked for increase. He said at faith is a gift. We asked for an increase in a faithful to God, in Jesus name, and of our love, as much as any of these things. All these all these things are real, they're spiritual weapons, and you must use them. They're mighty, to it's sort of fun to build, we can undo the work again, and we were that and we asked Lord, disloyal in everyone, everyone law will have that soul you know, and, and Lloyd, those mighty men of David, Lord, that that soul will freeze in our hand for usage, Lord, that will never put it down. Father God that wherever we are, we use that sword. It can't do any lies of the enemy file of God and set people free and Lord and bring glory to your name. And which is thank you for that Lord in Jesus name. And you can build your church on these things sword in us and Laura just got down here. Say a warrior. Say a warrior in the prayer room, as well as in the pulpit. A fire to god she's rise up leave warriors, dresses in the armor like, like Nehemiah did when he's rebuilding the war. In Jerusalem Father God, he he had to wear the armor for 24 hours a day and man and Father God, we pray that that's what we will do with his armor, Father God. And when that liar comes, he's always got a land full of fear in there. What if this what if that Lord will be able to resist it, and it will revive us from doing it all the accusations, all the lies that are going around now in the world or in the highest places? People believe in in lies, Lord, and all our beaches pray or put the soul to them in high places Father God and revealed alive it Lord. And we asked all these things, Lord, we pray in Jesus name Father God, we will all wear their armor. 24/7 not in the almighty Lord. In Jesus name, I pray this. Amen.

Glenn Walsh:Few things that we've been mentioned in this new beginnings got Mike in a way where there is no way and I was looking at Isaiah 43 Verse 19, where God reveals Behold, I am doing a new thing. Amen. Now springs do not perceive it. I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. So Lord, we do pray that, yeah, Lord, we do speak that into being just like Zika when you said prophesy, salad men make it so. So Lord, we don't say now in the name of Jesus, peace. Come on those families that we've mentioned already, Lord, let your peace come the single parents, amen. Those who are fearful of husbands returning. Yeah. Christian husbands. Remember what the Scriptures say Husbands love your wives, like Christ loved the church, and lady's life down for her. Come on Christian husbands. follow his example. Let not your wives be afraid of you. Come on, what a fearful thing.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Jesus.
Glenn Walsh:God is doing a new thing. And then I felt God take me through a quick journey through Isaiah. So bouncing over to Isaiah 44 And this is verse 21. Oh my child, will you you will not be forgotten by me. I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like missed, returned to me, for I have redeemed you. Sing, Oh, heavens, for the Lord has done it. Then I felt Isaiah 46 Verse 12, listen to me, You stubborn of heart, you who are far from righteousness, I bring my righteousness near, it is not far off, and my salvation will not delay. And then over to Isaiah 49. Listen to me, and give attention, you people from afar. The Lord has called us from the womb. From the body of our mothers, he named our names. Yes. And then Isaiah 50, verse 10, who among you fears the Lord and obeys the vote voice of his servant. Let him who walks in darkness and has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. And then how can we be sure with this? Out so wobbly, you know, walk are so sometimes preferred darkness to the night How can we be assured that God's righteousness is near? Because Isaiah 53 that the bidden chapter starting at verse four, because he surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. Of course, this is talking about Jesus. Thank you How savior, a Messiah, but he was wounded for our transgressions, he was wounded for your mind sin, how can we be assured he's paid for it? He was crushed for our iniquities, again, iniquities, that's a weakness a character, For all have sinned and fall short. Now to the creases are falling short. This is a weakness of mine weakness of stature, our fallen, no ball ruined characters. Unto him was the punishment that bought was place and with his stripes we are healed. Lord, we thank You that us even no matter how far away people might feel this morning, they may not have met that unquoted of religion. They may feel when I haven't prayed enough, I haven't done this. I haven't done that. Thank you, Lord, that that is irrelevant. It's the old way it's passed away. It's gone. Now, Lord, our salvation is in you know, confidence in the flesh, no confidence in willpower. But a confidence is in you have done a finished work accomplished on the cross. And our reason savior has sent forth the spirit, praise God. And His Spirit lives in us and calls us His voice is there saying come? I'm with you always. And he will make way new ways in the deserts, rivers in the deserts, whatever our circumstances, they do not dictate to us and right or left, but the Word of God does. He's ever present living word. He may be calling us to walk on water. What a safe place to be. Because if we sink within his arms, thank you. So Lord, we do pray for an abundance overflowing of your Holy Spirit. Yes, Lord, Lord, that we would not be those who look at our circumstances and sink, who look at the waves that threatened to in Gullfoss filled with the wind on our faces and think this is going to drown me. But Lord, we look to you, the one who reaches down the one who pulled Peter from the depths and carried him in his arms safely back to the boat. Well, Lord, we want to remain in your arms. Yeah. And we do pray that this would be a day of miracles. Thank you days of healings New Days, Lord, like you said, a new day is springing forth. We pray that your church your people, not the establishment that we see where Church and the kingdom of God see so divided, we pray, Lord, Your kingdom come, Your will be done. And that church, your church will be established him on the lead by your Holy Spirit, walking by the Spirit, not by man's weirdness, laws, bullying. So Father, come, give us boldness, give us confidence for you our Redeemer from on high.

Glenn Walsh:As I 55 Verse eight, God says, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways. Your ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth. so are my ways higher than your ways in my thoughts higher than yours? Yes. And I believe someone woke up this morning and your first thought was, it's been taken from me. You felt like something had been stolen from you? A treasured possession. And he grumbled against God saying, what why? Why? You know, I love that but it's gone. What God says to you now is come because remember His ways are not your waist. And his book hype thoughts are higher than yours come. Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters are men and he who has no money, Kumbaya late, yeah. Come by boy in and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not read and your labor for that that does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich fruit. Amen. Incline your ear and come to me. Hear that your song made live and I will make with you an everlasting covenant. You know what? That everlasting covenant is deeper than marriage? Amen. Yeah, yeah. Okay. It was a material thing. But don't put your satisfaction there. For God is saying, and he looked at you and said, words deeper than this. Will you marry me? Will you be mine? Can I be yours? That we would be together forever, forever. Not just in this life, but an eternal covenant. Do not put your happiness and your peace in trivialities that can be stolen. Jesus said that. Do not invest your treasure where thief may come. So he's waking you up. He's waking us all up. Where's our focus? Where's that treasure? Yeah, where do our hearts truly live? In the one who calls us Beulah in the one who calls us married. I will make with you and everlasting covenant.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you Jesus.
Glenn Walsh:Thank You Lord. I'm so wretched in every way. Oh, yeah. Came for us the good shepherd. So I am so us out. And then you look us in the eyes knowing everything about us. Every floor, every wrinkle every moment every walk and you look us straight deeply in the eye and say will you be mine? If I lay my life down Fear, such as your love for us, Lord, let us be those who say yes, yeah no man we will walk with you. Amen. Even here in the earth Come Holy Spirit. For by you we cry, Abba, Father.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you Jesus,
Glenn Walsh:what deepness what richness. Let us not be those who hold you off a farm. Those who think Christianity is a big wave on top of the rest of life, but the rest of life comes first. Let us be those who truly embrace this covenant. Let go of these fleeting lives. Thank you for the privilege Lord of being called. Thank you for the privilege of being yours. Amen. Amen. Amen. Lord,
Andy Hammond:just wash your guys been speaking I've had acts to fill in my Bible here when Peter addresses the crowd. And he quotes doesn't need from job. In the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit and all people, your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old man will dream dreams, amen. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my spirit and those days, thank you, Jesus, and I will prophesy. This is some when Peter was addressing the crowd, in that first occasion when all those people turned to Christ, turn to Jesus. If you look at chapter two, verse 36, Therefore let all Israel be assured of this. God has made this Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter, and the other apostles, brothers, what shall we do? Then Peter replied, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Amen, the promises for you and your children, and who are far off. Yeah. And that's a promise for us today. So we thank You, Father, God, that you did go to the cross through your Son, Jesus, and that call all those years ago from Peter, Repent and be baptized? Yes, we come to you this morning. And we ask for your forgiveness. For all those stupid things that we do, constantly. We come again, before you and you can sell scripture says you wash us whiter than snow. We asked for that this morning. And Father, this is you're putting a seal upon each one of us by your Holy Spirit. We thank You, Holy Spirit come and fill us in fresh with your power. But with especially with love, Father, for the loss today. Yes, Lord, especially for those who are seeking after you. Or, well, I just really feel Father God that you want to reach out to those who are just wondering, I don't know where they're going. They're just confused with what's happening in society at the moment. They are really lost. They're like wandering in the desert, because of two years of COVID. Just wandering around, not knowing. Their minds are confused. But we ask you to bring revelation Holy Spirit to because Jesus is the way your word says I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through you. So we asked Father that we come before you now. And for all those who are wondering and listening today.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yes, Lord.
Andy Hammond:Jesus is the way. Just sit with him now. And ask Him to come into your life by the power of the Holy Spirit. Yes, Lord, and He will be with you. And he promises never to leave you. We thank You, Father, that we have this relationship. And Father, there's someone who needs you this morning. And we've had that prayer request online. Here we pray for Megan, who is it really traveled, we asked you to bring your tastes. Bring your love into her life bring that reassurance that you are with her, and that you will guard her that you won't let her fall. Oh man, we are setting out in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen. And Father, we also pray for those who are anxious today. Not knowing what's going to happen, too scared to walk out the door that they are troubled in body, mind and spirit, Lord, the enemy is attacking. Father, we ask you now to send your holy angels to God and to lift them up to protect them. And we now warn the enemy to get back. Yes. You have no rights here with the children of God. Yes. Thank you, Father. Amen. Thank you, Father for what you're doing. Amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Jesus. Yeah, we're coming to the table very, very soon. So if you're going to join us this morning for communion, please get yourself some bread that symbolizes the body of Christ, and some grape juice, wine, whatever that may be. And as we just prepare as we just lay ourselves completely bare before the Father, you know, there's nothing hidden. There's nothing new under the sun. He's the King of kings and he is the Lord of lords. He's your God. He's your Redeemer. He is your great I am he will not turn you away. He says, I will never leave you nor forsake you. Don't look at the physical don't look at the, this this natural realm that is around us. Just seek the presence of Almighty God. We're in, we're in Holy Communion, just breaking the bread together, being still together, just present in everything to Christ this morning. Philippians four, verse 19, a My God shall meet every need according to His riches, in glory, every need of yours, every need of yours. My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches and glory, or my needs, not my wants. Not my wants, but my needs because my needs are so different to my once thank God he don't give me my once we've been serious trouble. So Lord, thank You that You are just almost drip feeding me what I need to get through today. Lord, You are my supplier. Lord, You are my yes and amen. You are everything. And you are our garden, our King. So Lord, as we gather around the table as Donnie Anandi leaders, Lord, through Holy Communion this morning, I thank You, Father, as we just rest, in the presence of Almighty God breathed over this nation today, Lord, in a powerful name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Andy Hammond:Thank you, Father, we just come before you say to round this table, now we're in Unity. How great it is. Psalm 133, that says, have brothers and can be in unity with each other. And we pray, Father, God, now that you will come with all those who are now participating in this celebration. It is the celebration. And I just look at this verse from Isaiah of Acts, chapter four, verse 12. It says, salvation is found in no one else. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which we must be saved packages. And Father. That's what Scripture says. That's what the Bible says. And we proclaim it now over the airwaves. Yeah, there is no other name. Amen. Jesus, you are the one. And that's why we come before you and remember how you achieved that. And it's through the cross. So that was achieved. And we take the spread now and in celebration, and thanks for what you've done.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Lord, thank you, Jesus.
Donny Stockburn:And if he got your little glass of wine or whatever, if you just hold it in front of yourself right now, yeah. And just follow these words. That God sent a savior, not a judge. Because he loves us so much. All things are possible with him. And Father God, all power, or all glory is yours forever. Never. And Solloway Your marks on us. We've been redeemed, we invoke we've been paid for, or after given his life for us. Is there anyone who thinks that he would let us go now? No, it's not possible. We owe his marks on us. And this is a blood that paid for us. In full price lower than wages, thank you in Jesus name, that we are redeemed, we are forgiven. And it's an eternal thing, Lord, a covenant silver, your blood. And our names are and we thank you in Jesus name, amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Thank you, Holy Spirit
Donny Stockburn:Thank You, Lord,
Reverend Ben Cooper:thank you, Jesus,
Andy Hammond:you know, just just the thought that crossed my mind is that probably most of the people who are listening to this are believers anyway. But that might may not be so because people bends told me that people tune in to this broadcast from all around the world. And that's the thought of anyone who is thirsty. And we got our bottles of water this morning, because it's so warm in here today. And anyone who is so stiff, and there's a scripture in John says, If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me. As the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him by that Jesus meant a spirit. And as I symbolically take a drink from this water now,
Reverend Ben Cooper:thank you, Jesus.
Andy Hammond:I pray that whoever drinks now will be filled with that power of the Spirit and mom and all that will come into that precious relationship with Jesus. Amen. Amen. Thank
Reverend Ben Cooper:you. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Oh, god, you're worthy of all praise.
Glenn Walsh:It's knocking on the door, because I stand at the door. Thank God
Reverend Ben Cooper:for the builders. God for the builders, the carpenter is knocking. So literal Lord, we thank You for this morning. And Lord as we as we just bring this to a pause law because you're never finished. Lord, you're always moving Lord, you're doing a no thing. Lord, we thank you that the Word of God is alive, sharper than a double edged sword. And Lord, whatever today looks like for for all of us, whatever today is bringing in law to the door whatever is happening, we thank You, Lord, that there is nothing outside of your plan. There is nothing outside of your word, though nothing has taken you by surprise. So this morning, Lord, as we just bring this to a pause for a short while. Come Holy Spirit, refresh us again. restore this nation again restore, Lord the church's restore Lord, Father, Lord, we just want your holiness, holiness, Lord, holiness, Father this morning, holy next Lord, You tell us to be holy because they are holy. And this morning, we are sure you got dear God that you will draw us deeper into a walk with you that your draw us deeper into your presence, Lord, and all those that feel tired and weary as it says in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 11, verse 28, come to me, all of you that labor and heavily ladened and I will give you rest farther, you are our rest. You are our fortress, and Lord, all those that feel that heaven has gone quiet on them today. All those that feel, though, that you're not saying anything, all those that just feel exhausted with life. Father, we thank you that you are always speaking, you are always revealing. You are always leading us carry us when we're tired. When our legs are weary when we just can't seem to move any more farther, you carry us you never drop us you never leave us nor forsake us. So Lord, I thank you for the plan of redemption, that we are redeemed, that salvation is not hanging upon our lips because you've already ordained us. We thank You, Lord, that salvation doesn't sit upon us. But salvation is on Christ and it is a gift and Lord, You have given us a gift. So one thing is for sure in his life, our salvation is secure in Christ Jesus, and whatever this world places before us. We thank you that we are more than conquerors through him who loves us. For I'm convinced neither death nor life, nor anything principalities, Lord, nothing in the dark realms. Nothing can separate us nothing can take no one. No one can separate us from the love of God that Christ Jesus And Lord, we thank you for Romans eight, verse one there is now, Lord, all those all those that feel condemned by life's experiences. We think that the scripture says there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, For what the law was powerless to do. God did. God has done, God has set us free. You are a child of the living God, and you are loved, and you are loved, and you are loved. Unconditional Love. Have a wonderful day, I'm going to see if any of the brothers want to close in prayer to
Donny Stockburn:say one thing, I just want to remind people, that salvation is so simple, God couldn't have made it any simpler. It's just, we just come to him and repent their sins and turn to him. And Jesus said, You must be born again, with repentance comes a new spirit. And that's what begins a new challenges in our lives. And it's that simple. There's no small print. There's no add ons, or anything like that, if ifs, and if buts and all that. It's just what John the Baptist preached was, repent, repent and turn to Christ. Yes, long. And that's it. And he will do the rest. He will give you a new spirit. It seems too good to be true. But it's the truth. And and we just rejoice in it. Father, God, in Jesus name, law, which has come to you now give you thanks, Lord, for all the goodness that you've given to us in the past, or when we, each one of us in here, and listening now could turn around and see our lives since Christ came into it, and see the richness in the goodness, and the amount of battles and things that we've gone through. We would never have survived without him. His word is true that he is faithful. That is a Faithful is He can't be untrue to himself. Every battle, every fight everything you're facing right now. Perhaps you're sick or ill and you're thinking the worst about things. It'd be with you. He won't leave you day all night. That is promise. And we want to leave you with that now that promise of Jesus that can never be broken. If mark is Mark is on you. It's forever and ever and ever and ever. Amen. Amen. Amen. And
Glenn Walsh:I say this before we close, it's for those who are fearful of their children, fearful of your grandchildren. This is what this wonderful covenant, Isaiah 59, verse 21. And does for me, this is my covenant with them, says the Lord, my spirit that is upon you all. And my words that I've put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children's offspring, and says the Lord from this time forth and ever more. This is his covenant. Then Isaiah 60, verse four, lift up your eyes all around and see, they are all gathered together. They come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hit, man, then you shall see and be radiant, your hearts shall thrill and exalt. Because the abundance of the see Shall we turn to the Lord, we thank You for Your promise over our children. We thank You for Your promise over our children's children. And we speak that into being Yes, you've not forgotten them. They may have forgotten you. They may have turned away from you, but you have not turned away from them. Because you say it's your covenant. Amen. So we pray, Lord, call them from afar, wherever they may be. Call them.
