And we thank God for the power of technology that we can reach one another that we're connected to one another. And let's just dive straight in. And I've got a simple scripture this morning. An absolute simple scripture, you might guess it and you might really be on point this morning. And I'm just going to go to Psalm 23. I've had this in my heart this morning. I've had this just resting in my innermost being something so simple and something so easy, something that we have spoken about a lot through lockdown in Psalm 23. You know, maybe it's your favorite Psalm, we understand very clearly that it is a very popular Psalm. And I haven't picked it this morning purely because I'm lazy. It has been sitting in my heart and in my spirit. And I just want to let you know this morning. You're just walking through whatever your situation is, this morning you are walking through. God is with you. In your situation, the fire of the Holy Ghost is upon you. And wherever you are. Today we are in Psalm 23, six verses and the and Donnie will lead us in communion as we press the first run, they will have some stuff on their hearts as well, that God has just dropped into their spirit and I pray this morning, that God will just touch your hearts today. God will just draw you closer to him. You know, our sales, salvation is given. We are blessed. We are chosen. You are saved, you are sanctified, you are justified, you are washed in the precious blood of the Lamb of Christ. So let's have a look. I'm going to read this all the way through Psalm 23. verses one through to six. The Lord is my shepherd I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters He restores my soul. He guides me along the path of righteousness for his namesake. Even though I walk through the valley, or the darkest valley I will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff. They comfort me, You prepare a table but for me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflow, Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23 A simple but so powerful six verses of God's word I just want to let you know this morning. The Lord is your shepherd you lack nothing. You lack no good thing the King of Glory is with you. Wherever you are today. You are just Walking through, God brought you in, and God will keep you in and God is walking with you. He says I will never leave you nor forsake you. So whatever your situation is this morning, just never give up. I want to encourage you and my two brothers before me this morning, and our brother Glen, that may depend online. We just want to encourage you this morning that wherever you are across the Malteser of the earth, this little round ball that we walk on and what we live in, you know, I just want to encourage you this morning, God is with you. Yes, the Holy Spirit is with you, you are saved, you are sanctified, you are justified, you are redeemed. And I want to let you know as well, I'm redeemed to we all are redeemed. We all are washed in the blood of Jesus, we all have been chosen. We all have been saved. We all have been justified through faith through the power of the Holy Spirit. And Psalm 23, verse one the Lord is when I look at those first three words, those first words really speak directly to me, the Lord is so let's remind ourselves this morning that the Lord is my shepherd. You lack nothing, you lack absolutely nothing in your life. He is with you. He makes me lie down. He makes me lie down he he he gets hold of us he were on a potter's wheel you might be you might be in the garden of gifts seminar, you might be stretched beyond human belief beyond human understanding, but God is with you. And He makes me lie down in green pastures and new beginnings. He's leading you beside quiet waters. He's restoring you at this moment. And the scripture says in verse two, Psalm 23. Sorry, verse three, it says he refreshes, I pray that you will find the refreshing presence of the Holy Spirit. I pray that you will find the refreshing presence of God's Word. And even though you walk through, even though I walk through, every one of us is on a walk through this morning, we're on a sponsored walk. We're walking through, you know, you're just walking through this life and life has nothing that is too big for our God. He is your Redeemer. He is your Christ. He is your great I am He is worthy of all praise and Father, we come before you this morning. And Lord, we thank you for Psalm 23. But Lord, we just want to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit like never before. So Lord, I ask you that you'll forgive me Lord, anything in my life father that is not pleasing to your sight. That you will continue to strip me back Lord of self pride, arrogance, whatever it may be. unforgiveness, Lord, that you will come in like a flood, Lord, the Scripture says as the enemy comes in. The Lord lifts up a standard. So Father, we thank you. There is a standard that is lifted up, Lord, that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. And at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow on the earth, under the earth through the Earth, every tongue confess, every demonic force has to bow the knee to the King of kings in the Lord of lords, you know, there is power in the name of Jesus. It isn't the devil that we got to worry about. The Scripture says, just work out your salvation with fear and trembling. We just got to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. I want to let you know this morning you are saved. I want to let you know this morning that your God loves you. I want to let you know this morning that you are on a walk through of the valley of the shadow of death. It is a shadow, it cannot touch you because you are redeemed. You are a child of the living God. God has you exactly where you are at this moment. He loves your character. He loves your ways. He loves everything about you purely because very simply, he died on the cross for us. He died for you. He died for me. He saved me in the most bleakest time of my life. Because God is a rescuer. He doesn't wait until we've rescued ourselves because I will never be able to rescue myself. I will never be able to get myself right and say, Jesus, I'm ready for you today. Never. He is always present in His holiness, His purity, His goodness, His power, His love. He is wrapped around you right now wherever you are. The glory of God is around you. You cannot escape him. You cannot run from Him. You cannot hide from the glory of God. You are saved. You are a child of the living God. You know, but sometimes our life doesn't. Can we be honest this morning, sometimes lifestyle choices, vocabulary, habits, certain situations seem to arise. But God still loves us. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil. I want to let you know this morning. That fear has no place in your love. Amen. Fear has no place in your life. Fear has no place In that hope, fear has no power over you. Fear has no oath and has no has no authority over you Sorry. Fear has no claim over you. Because you are washed in the blood of Jesus. Amen. Fear might come along, anxieties come along, doubts all that they just come along like arrows, the enemy fires, arrows, but our God lifts up the shield, the shield of faith. So if he was to look in the book of Ephesians, chapter six, about putting the full armor of God on, let's put on the full armor of God, and let's not put it on every morning. Let's keep it on every second of our heartbeat. Let's keep the armor on, let's keep the shield of faith. Let's get that shield lifted up this morning. Let's lift that shield up this morning. You know you're you're fitted with the gospel of peace, your your feet are fitted with the gospel of BS. You know, you have the belt of truth around you have the sword of the Spirit, you have everything. And you know what the battle belongs to the Lord. You know, we should be skipping and dancing straight down the valley of the shadow of death. Because that is just a shadow, it cannot touch you. Because Christ is in charge of every heartbeat. Christ is in charge of every breath that is in your body. Christ is in charge of your DNA. He's in charge of your blood cells, he's in charge of you. He said, Let there be light and there was light. And he loves us there was a redemption plan, even before even Adam took of that forbidden tree, even before they they fell Christ God the Holy Spirit. There was a plan. That garden episode that made us live in how we live now was not and did not take God by surprise. He was already prepared. He was ready for the fall. He was ready because he is the God of all things. He created us because of his good purpose, His good pleasure, his goodwill. So wherever you are today, I pray that God will lift you up, God will hurry you. And God will reveal to you that you cannot lose your salvation, that you are a child of the living God that Christ loves you. And we are in this morning we are in and God is keeping us in. And God is with you. Psalm 23. That is my reference point this morning, verses one through to six, as we hand over to our brothers as they will continue to lead us this morning. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Welcome, everybody. Welcome as we gather around the table, God bless you, gentlemen.

Donny Stockburn: 12:44

I don't know about you like listening, or where you are. But for me personally, things have been sort of lightly, pretty, pretty rough. And you just start sometimes to wonder when they're gonna get better. Or you just get to the point where you you think it's all over. And things seem to get worse at times. And you're kind of left wondering whether you're going to ever get back to the victory scene again, Lord, and and so I was having a look through Scripture. And God gave me some it about as simple as what Ben said, Psalm 23 was, and it's very short, and it's in one Peter five, seven. And it simply this costs all your cares upon Him. All he cares for you. Amen. Holy Lord, if there was ever a man, yes, I've been through it all. It was Peter. He failed. He sank beneath the waves when he thought he had the faith and, and yet to be pulled up, perhaps a bit humiliated into the boat, that it failed. And other times the same Lord, when he swore that he would not fail you that he would be in the mood die with the Lord, but in the end is five gateway. And he just followed you at a distance, Lord, that man Peter, he went through it all and and yet, amazingly, Jesus said, Peter, you're a rock that I will build My Church on. Thank you, Lord, that is absolutely amazing, Lord. And as I read that, that scripture encouraged me to pray even more in these difficult times, to know that you know, all my weaknesses, you know, all my faults, or my troubles or my failings, and yet you still love me as much as you love, a Peter their Lord, that is amazing for me, like you told us that this little bit of Scripture about casting your cares on Jesus, Lord on purpose, to encourage us in times when they were really really tough Lord, and give us the example of Peter, that he that he was a man of How many times you built your church on a man Father God, what what an amazing thing that is an oldest Lord is to lead us to prayer. lead us to a deep prayer life that we pray in storms and all kinds of situations and whether or not Peter went through, we could still pray, because prayer brings miracles. It brings miracles about the Jesus pride that Ben was preaching the other day, about the loaves and fishes. But Jesus prayed over those fish. And he prayed over those loaves, that a miracle came. He prayed over the water. And they turned into wine. He prayed over jars his door, and she came to life. He prayed over refund Lazarus, yes. And he came to life. And the miracles are unending follow God, some apply for me. And I became a Christian, applied from the dead, and he did to Lord and it goes on and on and on the miracles that come from prayer, Lord, sometimes we have to wait for him to come about in order. But Father God, we just know that this prayer life that you've bought into Lord is something will bring positive results. Always Father God, it will always be your world that comes about in your will is that we should have a prosperous life, not prosperous. Yes, financially and stuff like that. But prosper in Spirit, Lord, that we will grow to be like your Son, Jesus, full of these love full of his everything, Father God, alone, right now, I just want to pray for your church, Lord, you're live in church right across this globe. Ben said about being a little ball. We can look, we like Lord, but right across the whole globe. You're living church, Father God, because that's what Jesus paid for there in John, John 17, I think is first between verse 20 and 26. Jesus prize for those who follow him, his premise for for us now that Christ prayed for us to lift us up in these times, finally, God, that we would not fell, he pray for Pia. Lord, when Satan asked to sift him, yeah. And he got through it all. So this, this prayer life Lord is getting more and more important to me and fall apart as we move into these harder times. Or the more important kind of wars are starting father got all the more we hear people praying, praying, praying, Father, God, we just lift up your living church, over this whole Earth now, Lord, and I see that little tin shed with Jesus written over again, in the vast cities a cathedral that's fine and straight workers going out with a little books and, and Jesus stickers and things like that, Lord, to testify to your life, all over to serve those who are working in persecuted countries. Those are working in the war torn lands, father, God, all your children, we pray for now, Lord, and I pray for myself and us in this room and those who are listening, Lord, that, that that fire of God will come in, lift us up fire to God, and Lord, that Divine Love, Lord, I'm short of divine love. I kind of got a few issues I need forgiving for Lord. So Father, we just pray now that over a holler to every single person who's got Jesus living in him right now. We pray, Father God for a new outpouring of your Holy Spirit, and your divine love Lord, lift us up Father God, and make us men of God like Peter was Lord who, who went through all the stones went through humiliations, Lord and you restored in Fargo we pray for restoration. In those troubled places Fargo you pray for the underground churches Father God, oh Lord, what a joy. Lord, lift them up. Let them hear your voice, Father God, let him receive the fire. Let them receive divine love and new outpouring all over this earth. We pray for now. The Miracle Lord, in Jesus name, amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 19:02

Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Thank You, Lord, before Andy's brings anything, Isaiah 41 Verse 13 says, coming off of what God was just dropping into our hearts today for I, the Lord your God will hold your right hand. Amen. saying to you, Fear not. Fear not. I will help you. What a beautiful line Jesus, what a beautiful text. So Father, we ask you that the Holy Spirit will unpack that Isaiah 41 Verse 13 form is the Lord your God will hold your right hand saying to you, Fear not. I will help you. God is helping you. God is extracting you from certain circles of life. God is removing you out of awkward situations God is removing certain people From around you, God is planning God has moved. God is opening doors that no man can open. God is closing doors. God is dropping walls of Jericho right before your very eyes. God is removing the glass of life. God is removing stress, strain, worry and fear, whatever is going on in your life. Look at that scripture at this moment in time. Isaiah 41, verse 13, four is the Lord your God will hold your right hand, saying to you, fear not, I will help you, God will help you God has already helped me. God is always helping me. God is always getting me out of the mud out of the mire. God is always moving in my life. God is always moving. In my circumstances. God is always moving, and shaking. And God is always dealing, God is always opening up doors, God is closing doors of the past, I really believe that there are many of us at this hour in time, staying in a room that we shouldn't be staying in. I believe that there are many of us staying in a place that we shouldn't stay in, as God called out. And as he spoke over to the Prophet, what are you doing in that cleft of that rock? Why? Why are you staying in this place? Why are you here? What is the purpose? But Lord, I thought you said, I believe God is saying, Come on, it's time to move. It's time to take that step of faith, it's time to jump out of the boat, it's time to move out of that room. We are so familiar. Yes. And we are like creatures of habit. We stay in a parochial stretch, we stay in a certain room, we stay in a certain job, we stay in a certain atmosphere, we stay in an environment that we feel that is right for us when actually we're feeling uncomfortable, because it's time to move out by faith. There are many of us just staying in one place when God is saying the stretch is greater. The Reach is greater. Don't limit yourself, don't limit what I can do through you. Not that because God is not limited in any way, shape, or form. But I limit my thought pattern. I limit me I limit my my faith, I put a block on it. I'm not sure if God can. I'm not sure if God will I'm not sure but but maybe not shows. I don't think God can raise this ladder of situation. I don't. It's over, it's finished. And I believe there is a crowd. very vocal around all of us. Just saying what they said to the sisters of Lazarus. It's finished, it's dead. It's over. Why bother the teacher anymore? Just just just That's it. It's finished. It's over. It's finished. It's too it's too late. He's dead. He's gone. What don't bother him anymore. And it's like the enemy, the voice, the voice that you can hear and, and certain people in certain cultures around us saying, it's done. It's finished. You're never going to come to much you're not going to be able to now just forget it. The Lazarus is dead, it's finished. But hang on a minute. God is rolling stones back Amen. God is rolling stones back God is removing. God is removing the boulders of life God is God is speaking to every Lazarus this morning, where the world has told you you're dead, you're finished, you're over. It is no more. God is saying, roll the stone. God is telling us very clearly this morning. God is rolling the stone on religion. God is rolling the stone on people's lives and people are looking at you at this moment and telling you through the power of words, you are finished. It is over you will never come to much. But God is removing the stone. There are Lazarus coming to life this morning. Because of the power of God's word there are Lazarus is coming back this morning because of the power of the Holy Spirit. You might feel like a Lazarus this morning, when the world and the culture is crying out and telling you and your family is finished. It is over but God is rolling the stone back. God is moving the power of Christ voice now I have the word of God. You know, Jesus said come out Lazarus. Come forth Lazarus, I believe that there are many that are trapped in churches in religion, you are in a tomb and it is not called church it is a tomb you are in a cold place you are in a place that is that as rigor mortis religion is very rigor mortis. It is real, it is rigid, it is fixed, it is dead, it is over. But the king's domain, the Kings the Kings place the king's palace, the king the kingdom. The kingdom is alive. And Christ is calling you out on the Lazarus term of church out of religion ministries ministry many ministries are finished and over and gone. And now it's time to walk out to Jesus. I'm following Jesus. Am I a Jesus follower? Or I'm a people pleaser? Yes. Am I pleasing those that are in religious orders are going to say, I'm jumping out the boat. I'm going to be discipled. It's going to walk on water. today. I'm going to call Mr. God. And I'm going to watch my Goliath fall at the name of Jesus. I'm going to call him our God. I'm going to walk around this Jericho, I'm going to be obedient to the word, I'm going to see these walls collapse. And I'm going in, and I'm going to take back what the enemy has stolen. I'm going in, I'm going into Jericho tonight. And I'm going to take back, I'm going to listen to God's word, I'm going to take back my territory. I'm going to take back everything that the devil is trying to snack from me when actually he cannot take anything from me, because through obedience, isn't that interesting in the book of Joshua, when you look at that scripture of Joshua, there was no devil on the page. Jerry codes fall through obedience, glass fall because of obedience. And obedience is a devil Slayer. Obedience will flatten any worker the enemy, you don't need to fight. You don't need to put on the gloves and jump in the ring with Lucifer and Leviathan and the sons of God. You don't need to jump in the arena, with anyone or any devil. You just need to be obedient. And I'm speaking to myself. Just be obedient Ben. And demons flee at the name of Jesus, you are a name carrier, and you carry the greatest name in heaven on earth. And that's the name of Jesus every demonic force. Get dressed every morning. But put the armor on, and never take the armor off. Never remove it, keep it on learn how to keep it on the sword of the spirit, the breastplate of righteousness. You know, order all the staff, the helmet of salvation, your feet are fitted with the gospel of peace, the gospel of peace. I find that fascinating, that the gospel of peace flattens every demonic force. Amen. Come on long. Please learn our good friend and he is going to share some scriptures when he's when he's ready. But I just want to let you know again before I say, God bless. You don't need to jump in the arena with any any demonic force. You don't need to go to any more deliverance ministries. Because what you are carrying, is holy dynamite. What you are carrying, will blow and knock over and push over and destroy the work of the enemy. Because you are a child of the living God, you are blessed and highly favored. You are washed in the blood of Jesus. You are a son, you are a daughter. Just smile at the world. And watch demons flee, to say at the name of Jesus. I'm a son. I'm a daughter of the living God, I know who I am in Christ. I know my identity. And I am a son. And I am a daughter of the living God. Thank You, Jesus. Thank you. Thank you, Father, follow the Holy Spirit. You are worthy of all praise. Come on, Lord, by your Spirit. Lord, refresh us today. Lord, refresh us today. Lord. Speak Lord. Speak Lord for the word. Speak, Lord for the stillness. Speak Lord through for every area of our lives today, Lord. Thank You, Jesus. We just rest in you today Lord, glass for Goliath for what the name of Jesus. Amen. Langille Jericho is fall at the name of Jesus. Come Lord, refresh us today. Fear will drop. anxious thoughts will drop. Doubt will drop. Yeah. Be like David run down to the battlefield. Run down. Don't run back. run into. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Lord.

We pray that the word of God Father will come in so powerful into this nation, Lord, that every leader every preacher, evangelists, Lord, we pray, Lord, for any one that calls themselves a prophet, anyone that calls themselves a Bible teacher, a pastor, a bishop, anyone The reference themselves as a spiritual leader, strip us back to beyond the bone. Bring us to holiness. Bring the church in the UK to holiness. Lord, speak to the nation. Lord, speak father to the church, speak to Government speak to business. Father, we pray that we will fill the very breath, the very breath of our God, breathing life into the valley of dry bones.

Donny Stockburn: 41:09

Can I am? Yes, Coast Coast on. I just take you back to Pete again. Don't mind me doing that? And who would have chosen Peter? That's a question I've got written on top of me, Peter Piper is a smelly fisherman, full of faults and love to touch on the outside. Oh, Lord, you don't look at the outside. Who would have chosen him? And King David? Lord, there was all those fine young brothers standing there, all gleaming and strong and, and everything and, and Samuel said, Is this a? Have you got anyone else you don't need only my young son. He's just a shepherds boy, who would have chosen the shepherds boy. God calls those hope for what see inside them, and not what's outside them. Amen. And then he says this. The first will be last. And the last will be first. What God chooses is on the inside, and not on the outside. God chooses the great leaders who would have chosen a farmer's son, Billy Graham to preach the million million people who would have who would have thought he, he would have gone to the synagogue to find someone other than Peter, a rough, tough old fisherman. But Lord, you looked inside and on what was lost in this world, you might first and what's first, in this world, the great leaders of this world, the Gulf gaffers, as they like to say, Lord, they will be lost. This is the kingdom of God. And Lord, you establish that your leadership's Lord and you said that the least will be the first be the greatest and the greatest will be the least Lord You, you, you turn everything upside down. Lord in you, you create something brand new in us follow God you create a Son of the living God. And as Peter became Lord, and as David your, your your king, Lord, perhaps the greatest king that lived on this earth, a shepherd's boy, and Billy Graham and other ministers as well, who preached to millions of people that were just farmer's sons and things like that law, but you looked inside, you look inside of us, each one of us fall to God. You may be looking inside yourself right now and saying, What is not matching me? You know, I'm in prison. I'm this I'm that, Lord. Lord, God sees far more than that. He sees our hearts he sees our souls. He sees our minds he sees our spirits, Lord, and we just pray, Lord, that in this day his Lord, He will rise up again. Great men of God, in in these places in Parliament's and in places where decisions are made. Father God, I pray that you will push your fire through our parliament in this country Father God, bring back men of God women who God fire god, establish your kingdom in the heart of this nation. Get this foolishness and the noise out of our system, Lord, out of our schools out of our places placed at the learning out of our hospitals. establish your kingdom bring the kingdom of love the kingdom of life, the kingdom of peace. Only God can give you peace. No man can give it. Lord we please pray in Jesus name Father God for this. This turn around, Lord, that those who you chose, Lord will be seen as the greats in this world. And we ask this in Jesus name Father God. Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 44:40

Amen. Father as we come to the table, as Andy is going to lead us and Donnie is going to lead us as well to the bread and communion this morning. Lord, I thank you Father that You shall set us free Lord, Donnie mentioned the word. Lord, we need the truth. Father, you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. So this morning, Lord, we need the word of God. I pray for myself. Lord, I pray for my brothers in front of me Lord, I pray, Lord, for everybody in the house of the Lord that no one can see that in and working around their Lord. I pray, Lord, for everybody on the other side of the lens, everybody listening to the world of podcast, all those that are on the socials now I pray, Father, that Lord that you will bring us to a place Lord of clean hands and a pure heart. I'll bring our pray, Lord, you bring us to a place Lord of surrender, that we will just leave everything that your footstool. Lord, you tell us that you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. So Lord, I asked you today that the truth will abound in our spirit, as we break bread together as we take the cup together, Lord, Lord, just in our wrongness Lord, in just our character, we come to you and I present myself to You, Lord, as the scripture says, Our wretched man or my Lord, why do I do two things as the scripture says, Why do I do the things that I hate? And I can't do the things that I know that I should do, Lord, why is this flesh so powerful? Some days? Why my thoughts so dangerous some days? Why, Lord, But Lord, we know why. So Lord, I thank you for this communion, I thank you for this, this time of able to come to the table, and to bring my dirty washing and leave it. Amen. Christ fee, Lord, to leave for my thought pattern, to leave my thinking to leave my my rough nest and leave my character to leave all the idiosyncrasies to leave my failings at the foot of the cross. And you know what, Lord, I just can't say enough that I love you, Jesus. Amen. I love you, Jesus. I love you law because you first love me. Yes, I love you law because you say me. I love you, Lord, when I was at my darkest and my weakest. And my bleakest moment you love me. You saved me when I was at my most dangerous position. Lord, you set me free Lord, when I was at my most bleakest thought, oh, man, you you came in, and you give us a hope and a future, Lord, if there's hope for me, how much more than God do it for you? If there's hope for me if there's salvation for me? If there's more if God has saved me and given me new life, how much more can he do? For you brothers and sisters on the other side of the table on the other side of the lens on the other side of the world, God loves you. Oh, man, he loves you. He loves you. So Father, I want to say thank you this morning. personal prayer for my heart. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for saving me lord. Donnie and Andy are gonna lead us Yes. Community.

Andy Hammond: 47:48

I just want to thank you to Father for saving me. And I think that's part of the mission of the church is to take the good news. Yes, long term. And that's when we look at the end of Matthew, it was that challenge for each one of us to take the good news. And I just feel a heaviness in my heart today, that there's someone who really needs that good news. Oh, yes, they are. I feel at their wit's end. And I, I think Psalm 116 is them to a tee. Amen. Thank you. Psalm 116, says, I love the Lord, for he heard my voice. He heard my cry for mercy. Yes, because he turned his ear to me, I will call the gym as long as he saved us and the court of death entangled the anguish of the grave came upon me. I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the Lord, oh, Lord saved me. And the Lord is gracious and righteous. God is full of compassion. To law protects the simple hearted, when I was in great need, He saved me. And if the Court of death Zentangle give at the moment, are you feeling overcome by trouble and sorrow? Just cry out to the Lord. Oh, Lord, silently. Yes. And thank you, Lord, we pray for you now, that as you cry out to God, Holy Spirit will come and meet with you will bring that love the love of Jesus into the place where you're sitting now. So Come Holy Spirit. with some Holy Spirit How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me, I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. So going from Psalm 116, the cup of salvation, sometimes referred to as the Passover Cup, which is rather appropriate as we approach Easter. And remembering what God achieved for Israel when they were in, in Egypt, the Passover. So Father, we are set the cause of death will pass over all those who fear at the moment. Yes, father, guy now heart goes out to the Ukrainian people. Such horror and sadness, fear, just having to leave homes, we can't imagine it here in this country. But be with them, Father, God, come and meet with each one of them. Let them find peace with you, as in their in their deepest struggle. Thank you, Father, God, thank You, Lord. Just one thought is just dropped into my mind is that lady who's been held captive in Iran for six years now. And there's talk now of her release, because she's been given back her passport. We pray Father, that that will be a good sign that she will be released. And that she will be able to return to this country or to her family. And we pray that all the behind the scenes movements that are being taken by the government will come to fruition for that moment. In Jesus name we pray, amen. And Father, we come before you because you taught us to remember you for that supreme sacrifice that you made by breaking bread and drinking wine together. symbolizing the body and the blood broken for each one of us. And we remember that now as we take this way for a bread knowing that you broke it for each one of us, each one of us and for anyone who wants to come into relationship with you. We pray that now that your word will spread abroad Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 53:14

Donny Stockburn: 53:30

Yeah, thank you, Lord for this time together. When will you win remind ourselves of our is we got saved. So easy, Lord, you could have made it easier. I just got a few words down here from quite a famous song about the blood of Jesus. I'll just like to say him now. Hope they do to you what they did to me. It says you paid them my way into heaven. And your life was his price. My sins were gone must seems forgot. His precious blood gave me life. And then he was the stand in my defense. He drives every tear that falls. He has the power to free our chains that bound us and cleanse ourselves. Who can cleanse a soul who can change a heart but Christ and this is the blood This is the price for us for our salvation. A Lord which is take it gladly Lord and Lord and be reminded of the power in the blood of Jesus. They opened way to heaven first Father God, they broke the chains of the vilest sinner and made him a Burning child of God. And this is a blood that did it. And we just thank you for in Jesus name, amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 55:07

Reverend Ben Cooper: 55:23

You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Yes. Thank you, Father for your word. Thank you for your love. Thank you for the power of prayer. Law, we were praying forever for everyone to be filled with peace today, Lord, encouragement, Lord, hope, and love. So whatever the day looks like for each and every one of us today, whatever Lord, it has been looking like since our eyes open this morning. We thank You Father, that as the scripture says, As we sleep, our sleep will be sweet, even while we are asleep. You are protecting us, even when our eyes are closed, and we are laying rest. And you dear God, have angels around us. Lord, I thank you for Psalm 91. For he will command his angels concerning you, to lift you up in their hands, so that you will not you will not strike your foot against that stone. You will not strike your foot against that stone. God has already made away he has prepared away. He is the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. He says, So Lord, we're praying for the refugees this morning. We're praying, Lord, for the parochial stretch around us. We're praying for our communities. We're praying Father, for politicians, we're praying for church leaders. We pray for humanity where Lord we are just Lord. Can I say Father, to be in the roadway law to say is fro in the prayer over everything? Lord, we want their guard your hand to be on every one of us today. So Lord, we thank You, Lord, that the list the prayer list is long, and is endless. But our God is the God of eternity. Amen. And before we've called before we've called he's answered, your newest. Father, we thank You for this hour, as we bring this law to just oppose for a few hours, until we gather again, though, in the house of the Lord, father the gap in between now and later on, Father, we thank you that we are always filled, always filled, always blessed. always saved. Philippians chapter two, verse 12. On the back end of that text says continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Don't worry about the devil. He's chickenfeed. He's over. He's gone. It's done. We do not need to give him any more airplay. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. God is with you. The devil is a liar. He is the father of lies. He is lying. He is trying to capture us by false prophecies, false words, messages that have no meaning. And God is telling you this morning. Come to me all of you that are wearing heavy land and I will give you rest. The devil can't hang around the kingdom of God. He can't get near Jesus. When you when you study Christ ology when you study Christ, when you look at the ministry of Christ, when you look that wherever Christ when the demons recognize the Messiah, what are you going to do with us? That's God's job. That's the Holy Spirit's job. That's Christ job. He as they have already the deity has already dealt with that. So all I got to do is be obedient to his Word. Amen. Obedience. Is a demon slayer. Obedience. slays the enemy. obedience brings confusion in the enemy's camp. Obedience to the God of Israel froze the enemy in a spin. As they come up, and they said to Christ, what are you going to do with us? Throw us into that herd of pigs. Christ is always throwing the work of the devil out. We ain't got to worry about him. Just rest in Jesus. Just rest in Jesus. Father remove the thoughts remove Lord the the cognitive processing removed father the stuff in our head that brings areas father of fear and doubt father, remove all that today, Lord, and Lord just just Lord. We want to lean into Jesus as the disciples sat around a communion table, the last supper table he leaned in. So Lord, help us to lean into Jesus today. Yes, in the mighty name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and he's got something he wants to share regarding the Bible's just before Oh, yes, Donnie will bring us to a close this morning. And

Andy Hammond: 1:00:19

I think there's a verse also that I've just, I was looking at that last one from now it will give you rest from Ben, which is Matthew 11, verse 28. But in chapter 11, there's a verse in verse 12. It says, from the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men and women, both for lay hold of it are men. So as usual, I think that's an encouragement of us to what I think it's asking us as men and women of Christ to stand up and be counted a men stand up, to be stand up to be courageous in the way that we take the Word of God into our communities, into our relationships into our families, and it's there in Scripture, false for men, and women are advancing the gospel. And that's a last word for me. And talking of the gospel, I have a copy of New Testament Psalms and Proverbs here, freely available if you want to copy. So just get in touch message. And we get one two,

Reverend Ben Cooper: 1:01:42

amen. Thank you, Andy. Donica. We are closing prayer. Yeah, lead us my friend. Yeah,

Donny Stockburn: 1:01:47

I'll just close on a Sunday, almost replica of what Andy first spoke in the Psalms in the Psalm 18. Just first is one of the three. And I've got it all marked down in the little box. It's done me good so many times. It's such a such a intimate moment between David, King David and God, and David's looking at all the things that God has delivered him from, and is like, is he standing right in front of garden and pokes his fan bases? I love him. I love him, says, I will love you, Lord, with all my strength. The Lord is my walk. He is my fortress, and he is my deliver a man, My God, my strength in whom I will trust. He's my shield and is the horn of my salvation. He's my stronghold. And I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised. So shall I be saved from all my enemies. He saved us. We do have to be obedient. But he saved us. This is a work of God. And David realizes that, that he's just been delivered for the most treacherous situation. And any sign Lord, I love you. I love you. Just like Peter said on the beats that day. You know, I love you, Lord. Fatherhood I just pray that in the name of Jesus, like everyone, everyone who lives in now, everyone who's involved in the work of God, Lord, Father God, that that love for God will expand Lord, and Lord that I have come to realize that this this is a God of love. This is the father of love. This is a source of love. Now one can do what God can do, no one can give us peace. No one can give us joy. No one can give us eternal life. No one can break the chains, but it's God who loves us, who sent His Son to redeem us. And Lord, we just thank you for that in Jesus name. Amen.
