Hello and welcome. God bless you, wherever you are this evening. Have your days been okay? In bit of a mad day today, I hope you're well and matching them up Jesus Christ, wherever you are across this earth tonight it is 730. For here within the UK, might God bless you across the other side of the world.

We are really blessed. We thank you so much. I hope you can hear yes, thank you so much you can hear us. And for all those that you can say it with me now, thank you so much for joining myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, for those that are in the world of the podcast, and they will capture this a week later on. You can find us on Apple Music, Buzzsprout, Spotify, Apple Music, and so many other platforms may God bless you, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you are worthy of all praise he is tonight because he is the King of kings and he is the Lord of lords. As we gather around the mics as you're on the other side of the lens to me, I pray that God will strengthen you and guide you into paths of righteousness. And this morning was in Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd and he is your shepherd and he is your God and He is your King. And all things are possible to those who believe I would just like us to turn if we made to the book of one Colossians chapter 15 verses that sorry, verse 15, through down to 20. And we've read this, we've looked at this, we've analyzed we've opened this up 1000 times, and I really believe God is leading me to this tonight to share with every one of you wherever you are across this world, we'll give a couple of minutes for people to jump online. We have the internet, we have the internet, God is good. And the internet is still with us. And yes, good evening, good evening to everybody. Thank you so much for sharing and pushing all this stuff out, we are really blessed to have you with us. And we thank you so much that you've stayed with us that you are here with us and God willing, you will continue to be with us. But wherever you are 736 Roughly across this world, and we are within the UK this evening. And the scripture that we are in is one Colossians Colossians chapter one verses 15 through 20. As we just see what God's word has to say to each and every one of us, as we relax as we take these times just to relax to gather yourself and just wherever you are, grab yourself a tea or a coffee, whatever it may be that some water whatever it is, that you are being led to this evening. And let's turn straight into the New Testament. Really interesting Texas is I find this absolutely fascinating the sovereignty and the supremacy of of God, the power of God, the power of Christ, the power of this is of his holiness and His presence and His goodness and His love. And I just want to try and encourage you this evening, that you cannot lose your salvation that you are saved that redemption is on you, as we know and as we have looked at and as we've studied and as we've gone over many, many times, but also that his sovereignty is power is just, it's just so beyond human understanding that we are living in a world we are living in a nation, that everything is managed, everything is conducted. Everything is forecast. Everything is is we are managed, you know, politicians are just managers. The whole world is just managed, you know, I mean, it's managed, it's dried to keeping that sort of posture. But we have a serious issue that we are hitting as the human race. We look across the world and we see leaders, good leaders, we see bad leaders, we see good leaders we see good bad in church, out of church in religion, we see good bad we see both sides of the coin, so to speak, but we are living in a time when our spiritual walk needs to be so strong, we need to continue to walk with him as an individual as the body of Christ. And I must remind myself as a leader of the Reverend vicar, whatever stamp is on on that Turner my skin tonight that what's really, really, really important is that he is the head of the church. Christ is the head of the church. He holds supremacy he is the one that is in charge. I shouldn't be listening to him as a leader, I should be following him as a leader, not my own plans, not my own understanding not the tradition that has been set out before me but to focus on God to focus on him. And I just got to read the scripture out. We've read this 1000 times, wherever you are this evening. I just want to try to remind you and to encourage you that Christ is the head of the church. Christ is the head of the church. There is no man there is no Lee To, there is no one that is higher than Christ, He takes supremacy, He is the great I Am he is the lily of the valley, he is your God, He is your guide, he is your strength, and he is the head of the church. When we understand denominational breakdown, when we understand that we are in a world that is very, is very commercialized, that is very highly driven by money, by fame, by culture, by the latest hashtag, by whatever is happening, we know whatever is breaking out on social media, you know, and I pray for the for the church within the UK that the UK church will really come back to Christ and I say the church I'm speaking about here as well, myself as leaders as brothers and sisters and congregations across this nation that we understand that he is sovereign, and His ways I just, and I need to come into line with his plans his will, his purpose of Christ was in the Garden of Gethsemane very, very clearly that Christ come under the sovereignty and the power of the Holy God. We see Christ in His full deity in the Garden of Gethsemane, we see him in his for humanity. So we have an issue within the church within the UK, that man when I say, man, human man is trying to control the supremacy of God, trying to control the holiness of God trying to control the Word of God, trying to be in front of God and trying to dictate to God, I see this, I see this very interesting time to be alive as well. But I am concerned for the church within the UK, across every platform, every different denomination. We've got to understand that we are living in end times. There are many foreigners that have already gone before the Antichrist, we are living in a time of many foreigners, we are living in the book of Thessalonians. And Revelations we are, we are sitting in a very powerful position, we are sitting in a very new place. But I pray that wherever you are, at this very moment, I pray that the hand of God will be upon you. And God will draw you into His Word. And he will just reveal to you the revelation that he needs to get to you. And he will do that he will reveal, He will guide he will strengthen he will nurture He will draw you in that he will just cultivate your heart that He will draw you and they will draw all men unto his side. But we are living in a time, we are living in very serious times we are living in times of stretching, we are living in times of renew, we are living in times of the oldest gone the newest calm we are living in times when we need our God like never before. And God has not left this nation. And I'm speaking a lot about this nation a lot. And I'm referring to the function to the structure to the organization to the religious skin of the church, that the church has a time for repentance, the church has a time to seek Him. The church has a time to understand the sovereignty of God that God is sovereign, and God is in full charge. And God does not need me as a leader to get his will done or his purpose or his plan done. His ways are just and what I need to do as a leader strip myself back of that leader, and the Reverend and the vicar and the titles on the chaplaincy and everything stripped me back right back to the point of where I am a worshipper. And I am a servant, and I am a follower of the living God. I'm here to serve. I'm here to encourage I'm here to do what God's will is. And it's very difficult sometimes for us to find what the purpose of God's will is when we're living in a society that is that is very, it's a very capitalist society that is driven by money that is driven by materialism, the church has a lot of dogma, he has a lot of stuff, historical stuff that he's turning over, he's like, you can see the church leaders that turning the earth over just trying to turn and turn all this old stuff back up, and trying to formulate and trying to plan when actually we are in a spiritual crisis. And I've said this so many times, I'm losing count of how many times I say it, and it's not because I'm I have nothing fresh to say is because God is telling me this and God is keeping reminding me and holding me in this posture, that the church I need to repent, as a believer as a son of the living God and understand very clearly that he is sovereign, and it is his bride. And it belongs to Him that He is the head of the church and he is the church. He is the head of the body. He is the king he is worthy of all praise and the sovereignty of God, the sovereignty of God. Lord, I need to know more of your sovereignty. I need to understand that you are yes and amen. You are the King of kings and You are the Lord of lords and you hold all power. And all authority is in your voice in your hands. It's in your plan. It's in your understanding and Lord as a human being, Lord, I've got to submit to the will of the Father. I've got to submit to the Will of the Father and I say to the will of the Father, because when I look at Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, He said, Father, let your will be done. So Christ in His for humanity, in his full. Christ, the man Christ, Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane. And we see very clearly the man Christ Jesus, calling on and look into his father in heaven, even though he is the full deity that he is the King of kings, he is the Lord of lords. And we see this in this scripture, the supremacy, the supremacy, sorry, of the Son of God. Let's read this before we go any further any further tonight. Let me just grab this coffee, grab yourself a coffee, we're in a position of just relaxing and looking at the Scripture. As God leads and I really believe God is leading us, God is leading us into paths of righteousness God is leading, leading us into new beginnings. First 15 of Colossians chapter one, the sun is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created things in heaven or on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones powers or rulers or authorities or things have been created through Him and for Him, He is before all things and in Him all things hold together. And verse 18, of Colossians, chapter one, and he is the head of the body, the church, he is the beginning, and the firstborn among the dead, so that in everything he might have supremacy, For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him and through him, to reconcile to himself all things were the things on earth or things in heaven by marking peace through his blood shed on the cross of Calvary. There is so much in this text there is. We have firstly we are living as I said, we are living in a nation that is driven by socialism, we are living in a nation that is driven by the carnal way that we live, we are living in a nation that's driven by capitalism, finances, we are living in a nation that's driven by materialism, we are living in a nation that has a very Darwinistic approach that trample on whoever I got to trample on to get to the top just so that I can have everything for me, we are living in a world where everything is focused around me and for me, and it's all about me, we are created to be worshipers, not to be worshipped by anyone else, but to worship the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And we have seen a massive decline within this nation morally, visually, as we look at this nation, this nation is in a decline. And we are being managed by managers and by leaders that are not recognizing that we are in a crisis. And it doesn't matter what managers get in the next post of leadership, we will always stay in this position all the time, we do not have godly leaders in the position of leading, whether that may be in the political drum skin, or whether that may be in the religious connotations of church, whether that could be in whatever area we need religious leaders to make sure that they are not going in religious footsteps. But suddenly they come out of religion. They come out of tradition, and they take a back step and they say, Father, forgive me of my religious ways. And Lord, I need to be a son or a daughter of the living God that I flow in the Spirit. Because when I'm religious, I become rigid. When I become rigid. I become almost like rigor mortis that I can't function that I become rigid in every way every process of my life I've become very carnal, very robotic. It's almost like we are living in a in a Lazarus time, a Lazarus moment when everything is dead around us. And we are not really admitting what's going on. Many are looking out across the plateau of life. We are looking out through through vision from church we are looking out from focus a church we are looking out into the political arena we're looking to into the capital arena, finances, we are looking into the to the markets, we are looking into the social areas, we are looking into the desperation that is around us we can we can hear the cry, we can hear the screams but we were trying to focus on they're not really here that the cry from humanity, the cry from the UK, the crying out, help us we are we are in need as if like we are crying out as a nation and no one doesn't want to admit because as soon as soon as someone puts their head above the parapet soon as someone comes up and comes against the rhetoric that is happening against the capitalism, the socialism and the drive that it is political, when I look at political, political, cannot fit with spiritual spiritual, cannot fit with fit with political you know, physical cannot fit and cannot overtake spiritually. We are in a crisis purely because not the crisis left us but the but the management's system of the of the nation the management has pushed out spiritualism are not talking about spiritualism, as transcending meditation. I'm not talking about that, as as that floating experience of spirituality, I'm referring to it as Christianity. See, Christianity has been pushed out, maybe I've worded that wrong, maybe I should have said, Christianity has been pushed out from education has been pushed out from business. It has been pushed out from society and culture. And as you push Christianity out, you take out the laws, God's laws, and God's and the morals and the understanding, and how to treat one another. When you sweep Christianity out, suddenly, you've got a vortex that is filled by humanism, that is filled by tradition that is filled by a man's Darwinistic approach, because we have no spiritual guidance whatsoever. So when you move out when you take the father out, not that the Father has left, because the father is always here, he says, I'll never leave you nor forsake you. But when a nation comes away from Christianity, what we find is that we have moral carnage, we have absolute carnage where anything can go, anything can happen. And what we are seeing, we are reaping the generations of the leadership's are that that whether are in the political skin, or within a religious skin, or within the business skin, or within the educational skin, within the major drivers and the major major systems as soon as you take Christianity out, and you and you try to move through a humanistic way, and you push God out of the equation, we are driven by human and when we are driven by humanity, we will find that we will hit a wall because we are limited in what we can do. Because when we push out Christ, when we push out Christianity, and Christ is sitting on the sidelines, Christ is looking in Christ is still with us. He says, I'll never leave you nor forsake you. But Christ is looking in the UK. And I really believe that we are having a stirring from God, and what we are finding that we cannot accomplish what we need to accomplish. And I really believe there are politicians, I believe they are business leaders, I believe that as we look across the plateau of life across the UK, we are starting to see that there is a big stalling issue going on, we are finding that there is there are issues all the way along but we are not hearing anyone addressing the issues coming out, I will say of the church, bring in a spiritual answer. And the simple spiritual answer is, is turned back to Christ that that is as simple as that of recognizing that Christ is sovereign. His ways are just and if any nation pushes Christianity or pushes Christ now and removes and tries to remove and tries to go his own way, you will find that as we wander in the wilderness of life, you will find we will start to struggle, you know, all morals or laws seem to break down because we have come away from the compass of God. And when you come away from the compass, and the compass is the word of God, when we come away from the Word of God, we've seen it for generations and generations now that we are finding that the UK is coming to a stop the UK starting to clog up the UK is starting to get very tender, it is very fearful. You can see fear on people's faces, you can see attitudes or worrying about jobs and lifestyles and everything. And I pray that wherever you are across this nation tonight, that you will focus on God because we have managers trying to manage this nation in in the biggest spiritual crisis that we've ever faced, coming out the back end of COVID coming out of the plague coming out of the the financial crisis is coming out of all the issues that we have around us. And what we find is that you cannot manage human beings without spiritual influence. You know, there is a certain layer and there's a certain press that humanity can have, but it will only go so far. And what we find is the human race, what I should say certain church leaders and certain religious people think that they are the Head of the Body of Christ, that they have that and they are calling the shots. But what we are finding is because we are just Earth, human beings, we are finding that we cannot manage our way out. The kingdom of God is greater than any management system, the kingdom of God is spiritual. And when you come away from the spiritual law of God and when you push the spiritual law out the word of God out you will find that you will have moral Carnage and what you will find that anything will go but actually, all of us whether we're spiritual or just sitting in the world, suddenly find that this this situation and you find humanity doesn't seem to be right anymore. The cogs of life seem to be getting clogged up on every line in church, our church business finances, stuck shares live education, the cogs are starting to jam. We're starting to see a rust coming over of the cogs of this nation and we are gonna grind to a halt soon Simply if spiritual leaders do not rise up and take the mantle that God has handed through the word of God, and God is calling leaders to rise up, and how do we rise up we speak the word we preach the Word, the the word that has no compromise the word is yes and amen. From Genesis to Revelation, and here we find the supremacy in Christ through the power of God, that has been handed down. And this is really, really important for leaders and congregations, and for myself and whoever we are, to understand that the supremacy sits with Christ, he is deity, he is Father, Son, Holy Spirit, He is the head of the body, which is the church and no man, no human being, can dictate to how the Holy Spirit is going to move. So what we have found over quite a few generations now, we are finding a nation that is grinding to a halt, because the spiritual compass of God's word has been removed off every platform, man is getting his will, man is pushing out, and God is a God that will not be marked. Now we are starting to find in our generation, and our time in this year, that the wills of this nation are grinding to a stop, because we cannot plan a way out of a spiritual crisis. The same things happen for the children of Israel when they came against God, when they served idolatrous gods. When they done what they wanted to do, we find that they were struggling for years that everything was hard, the enemy came against them, the enemy was beating them. And God said, you have been wondering because you have not listened to the clear instruction, there comes a point where the UK will stop wandering the UK, we are finding as you look right across the platform of the UK, every area of life is struggling, every area is stretched beyond human understanding, every area is pushed up against the wall. And it's like there is going to be a big stop any moment. Because we have come away. And there are certain leaders and there are certain management and certain teams in in the press of control that are removing and pushing Christianity out where you push Christianity out. And everything else is invited in, we open ourselves up to be a spiritual gateway for satanic influences from across the channel, and from other places, and from other areas and other gods and Sons of gods are before us now, what we must understand as believers that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. But as believers, we will find that the hard us times are getting harder, purely because the leaders have swept away, and they are looking for a humanistic approach. The human is king, the human is in charge of everything, rather than coming under the supremacy of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, come in under the sovereignty of God, and God is sovereign. And His ways are just you will find and you can trace it back through history ran about 1946 probably around about there, I would say that the UK started to decline morally, financially, on every level, and it was to do with Israel, and everything that went on with Israel, excuse me and everything that went on the way that the management at that time decided to take and to come away from what was happening for Israel on all types of spiritual press and decided to strip back into setback we are in a spiritual crisis. But by the grace of God, He is with us still. And His ways are just he's a jealous God. And right now, I'm just going to read from one Colossians chapter 15, right, the way down to verse 20, just five verses, the sun is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, For by Him all things were created things in heaven and things on a visible or invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things and in Him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church in the beginning. Sorry, he's in sorry, he is the beginning and the firstborn among that, that so that in everything he might have supremacy, For God was pleased to have his fullness dwell in him and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven by marking peace through his blood shed on the cross. Now, if we just back up a moment and if we look at verse 17, He is before all things and in Him all things hold together. When the managers and when the certain political parties, and when certain business layers and certain educational departments and certain areas of life when humans take Christianity The out, you are removing the spiritual guidance, the spiritual centerpiece to the nation when you remove Christ out and you Bordeaux's him out, and you bring a huge humanism in, and you make yourself a gateway to every other gods. I say Gods remember what the Scripture says, in Psalm 136, he is the God of all gods. So we understand that God is the God. But underneath him there are foreign gods. The Old Testament tells us that when God spoke to the Israelites, and he said, If you and when you go into the Promised Land that I have given you do not inherit and do not copycat their ways do not serve their foreign gods. We are living in a nation that has many foreign gods. And I pray tonight that if you are a believer in Christ Jesus, that God will reveal His word to you, as we sit across the platform of the UK. When you look at the system of the UK, we can see very clearly and as we tie this up with Scripture, we find in verse 17, and He is before all things he is before everything, he created the roofing, you will find in John chapter one. Very clearly, in verse one, John chapter one, verse one, in the beginning, that the word the beginning is very, very important. So what we have is in verse 17, of Colossians, chapter one He is before all things before means to be obviously before we don't need to be a theologians, we don't need to have a great education, we do not need to come from whatever Oxford University or anywhere to understand what it means to be the beginning, the beginning means to be at the very beginning, before the actual beginning actually became. So it's really important to understand for me as a believer, to study and to make sure that Genesis is the prime goal for me to study that creation, because creation is a very fundamental point in Christianity, that when I understand creation, I understand then that will that will give me a solid foundation to work on because when I when I understand, now, when I say understand understanding to a level, I can understand to, to my skill set a certain level and we all understand that different layers, but what brings God's word to us greater and into a deeper press is through the way the power of the living, God reveals His Word to us. So in a roundabout natural way, education has no forbearance on what God is going to reveal. See, we may be educated, or we may not be well educated, it doesn't matter where we sit, I'm dyslexic, but I don't let dyslexia stop my spiritual walk, because dyslexia is just off this natural vessel. dyslexia affects my natural ability. dyslexia affects my my speech and my thinking, but Dyslexia has nothing to do with faith. See, faith comes from hearing. faith comes from hearing so my faith is greater than any dyslexic problem that I have. Faith is greater than any discount. Kulia issue, faith is greater than any pronounciation issue, faith is greater than any mathematical issue, faith is greater than any science understanding. See, we are we are in a world that is is driven, so driven by statistics, and measures every area of business and life and culture, everything is measured, and what do we measure it from? We measure it from humanity, we measure it from ourselves, but when we measure it from ourselves, we will find that we are limited to what we can do. The world goes by quantum physics or well goes by, by, by all types of physics and understanding. It goes by analyzing the smallest of the smallest and trying to come up with an answer, but it will stumble in it and before science will fall, science is starting to hit a block on so many things because what science used to do it used to science used to speak very clearly through nature and through the air and through everything that we see. But science is at a very difficult press. And what science is starting to do is trying to disprove God. And when you try to disprove God, you will find that science will hit a wall. But science was created simply for to humanity to understand nature, and the air and everything around us that it would show us very clearly that through the spiritual press that we are told science backs up what the Word of God is speaking about, but there's been a switch and there's been a swerve since the world or should we say the nation that we live in? Where we are finding that the system and the managers because when we look at what we have, there are managers on every level and all they do is they manage us You know, we have managers but we don't have spiritual leaders. We have managers in church we have managers in education, we have managers in religion, we have managers, we have people with strong skill sets, but skill sets are limited in an in a place where we need a spiritual drive because what I will find is education is limited education as a city level, science has a certain level physics has a certain level, quantum physics, everything has a level, everything is worked out through natural abilities and natural skill sets. And it is worked out through science, it has worked out through mathematics, it worked out through equations, it is worked out. So everything is worked out in this natural world, to the natural ability of the lecture that is given and the teachers. So there will come a point and we have it's a point where we are starting to find that education is starting to stumble, because man is limited to what it can know and what it can deal with. So when you have a spiritual crisis, that we are seeing, and we are hearing through the book of Revelation and the book of fissile Orleans, so humanity will hit a point of complete confusion, because if humanity is trying to work itself out through physics, and through science, and through sociology, and working its way out through the culture of life, and trying to dictate how to get out of a crisis, what we find is humanity, in certain areas, humanism, is driving this nature is driving this nation sorry. So when you got humanism, and that is the is the skill set of human beings, and humanism, humanism, sorry, pushes out anything to do with spirituality, it tends, humanism, tends to come against Christianity, Christianity, it seems to come against faith schools, it seems to come against spiritual areas of faith. You know, we have many humanists that are very educated, and they are very indoctrinated with education. And they have very strong skill sets, and through their vocabulary, and through the language and through the literature that they read, they try to present it to certain cultures and certain areas are trying to disprove few humanism, that Christ does not exist, but we have hit a spiritual crisis. So humanism, the human cannot get us through a spiritual crisis. So we are finding that we have hit a layer, in the church, out of the church, in religion, out of religion, whatever way we want to look at it, where we are in need of a spiritual leader, a spiritual leader is needed to guide us through this spiritual crisis. This, the Bible makes it clear, the Bible talks very clearly about shepherds, and hired hands, the Lord is our shepherd, a shepherd is completely different to a hired hand, a higher hand who do the same work, but a hired hand works from nine to five, a shepherd has a calling a shepherd is a one that will lay down his life for his sheep, he will do everything to get them sheep into that place of safety, but a hired hand is only looking after them, that sheep for a certain amount of hours. So as they look after the sheep for a certain amount of hours, their interest is not about the sheep, their interest is in their pay packet, their interest is in their skill set of how their CV will be bolstered and built up and look even greater in the business platform. And we are finding that we are within a big percentage of the church within the UK, that we are led by very skilled and very naturally gifted people in education. We are finding that there are many leaders that have come from worldly presses, and now they are in the world. And we will call it the church just for for a quick concession of speech. We are finding that we have a migration from leaders that have led businesses that are trying to lead the church you cannot lead the church by business skill sets, you need to lay it down and you need to go by what you need to go by what is the will of the Father to go by the will of the Father there comes a very key word and a very important word and that is surrender. I surrender my will I say I surrender my skill set. I surrender my education. I surrender my academics, I surrender science, I surrender, quantum physics, I surrender everything that I understand in this natural world. And I asked God to put it in the briefcase of life. Close the lead now Lord, I've got to go by faith, because quantum physics, socialism, materialism. Humanism cannot get us through this crisis that we find The UK now is in a very serious situation, but it cannot see. It cannot see the crisis that we're in. God is calling a few to look above the parapet line and look above. Now the scripture says in Hebrews chapter 12, verse two, keep your eyes on Jesus. As soon as the human being starts to take and starts to desensitize, we have been living in a nation, that everything we have been desensitized to everything that is ungodly, everything that is not of God, we have been desensitized to that over the generations and the generations. It's very interesting how the managers manage and how they desensitize us to certain areas of life. And what we find is the generations below us find that what they the managers have done, they have desensitized us, they have made everything almost acceptable to that culture in that land. And suddenly, we are not in a in a nation that is led by Christianity we are in a nation, that is that is driven by socialism, that is delivered and controlling. We are living in a society that is very materialistic, that is very robotic, and is very humanistic. Everything is about the human, you can be you will achieve, you are great, you are wonderful. We don't need a god because we are just because we can't see him doesn't mean to say that he doesn't exist. We are living in a crisis. And if the church I will use the word church, if the church in the UK and the leaders of the church, and I will say denominations don't come back and come back to the word we will find that when we start going down into darkness upon darkness upon darkness, not because God has left us, but because we have been driven by humanism. And humanism is in religion, humanism, and socialism is in religion, we are living in a culture in a society that is all about the social media, hashtag hashtag I want to become what social media is, is is leading me to we are living in a nation and we are living in a world I should say that whatever is on social media, the human almost wants to go to so we are boxed and we are herded. And it is very interesting that the controllers are controlling what we look at what we see, because what they do, and very interestingly, through very quick secession before we understand that before we realize, we become what we feed ourselves. So if you take Christ out of the nation, and you feed us humanity, we will become very humanistic, that it's all about me, that I can do that I can become. And when we realize that we can't become and we can't we hit ceiling levels. Suddenly depression comes in. fear comes in because we have lost a spiritual compass, we have lost the preaching and the teaching of the Word of God. So we become very desensitized. And what we become is very boxed in a level. And we wasn't created to be worshipers of humanity we was created to be worshipers of God. Now when God has been pushed away, not removed because we cannot remove God, that has to be very clear because he's, he's all his everlasting from everlasting, he is the king and he is the Lord of lords, He is the great I Am He is the God that calls the things that are not not not as though they are as though they are, he is the God that brings everything into existence. But when humanity decides, and management decides to push God out the arena of life suddenly we are governed by management and management cannot lead us into spiritual guidance, because management is off the earth. Now, we enter into a different problem. So what we have is a nation when a nation is delivering and driving managerial systems, management systems of, of humanity, we find that when the human body the human race, was not designed to be driven and to be guided by managers, we was designed and we was brought into being and we was brought onto this earth to be worshipers. There is something different between managing and worshiping. You know, they sound the same, but they have completely different understandings. When you worship you surrender. When you manage you are taken on full responsibility onto the human being when the human being takes full responsibility. It wasn't built to take full responsibility because everything was created for him and by him. So we are living in a car We are living in a drive where everything is theories, everything is a fairy, everything is a study, everything is a, a, a psychological move, everything is driven by fairies. And what you find is when you are driving everything by theories, and after a few generations of theories and understandings and leading and managing, you find that we lose the spiritual drive not because the king has left us but because we have left the king, we suddenly find ourselves in a very dangerous position where everything becomes very unstable. So, we are very unstable as a human race within the UK, we are very unstable as the nation when you look everything is unstable, purely because the managers and the management have moved and moving away from Christianity. When you take Christianity out, you find that we become infiltrated by man we become infiltrated by theories, we become infiltrated by foreign Gods that happened very clearly to the Israelites as they wandered, and they lived their lives. And they said, Yes, God, we will follow you. But when they entered into different areas of life, when God took them and guided them, he gave clear instruction, when you enter into that nation, do not follow that nations understanding, do not serve the gods that they are serving, do not serve them. Or if you serve them, you are serving idols, but serve me, Yes, God, we will not follow some foreign gods, we will be completely faithful to you. But you find the Israelites as soon as they stepped into them nations, as though as soon as they stepped in the land of the Canaanites, they followed everything that the Canaanites done, then suddenly, you find that the Israelites became very unstable, they became very lost in culture and society. Do you feel that we actually don't fit that everything that's going on doesn't fit the nation, the government's the governors are looking for a piece of the puzzle that they cannot find, because the missing piece very brutally put, is God. And when you look for a human ancestor, human answer, sorry, in a very, very spiritual, spiritual and very dangerous crisis, when you look for a human answer, you will find that you can never complete the puzzle, because Christ is the missing link. We need to look to him because when he fulfills that gap, and that void, that is in the human race, suddenly we find we get what we get peace. And when you move Christianity out, you find that peace is erased. When you move Christianity out, you find that teaching from the Word is a race to 10 commandments, when you look at the laws. When you look at what God said, and you follow those laws, you have spiritual guidance. But what we must remember we are living now in a nation that is driven by humanism, rather than the church. Now when I say the church, I'm not talking about the church that we are reading, we are looking at a church across this nation that is very infiltrated by humanistic approach. And also amongst humanistic approach, we have paganism, tradition, serving foreign gods, we have mythological gods within religion and within the church in certain areas, I have to we have to label it, because that's what we are looking at denominational breakdown. When you serve foreign gods, you will find that there will be a breakdown in denominations. If a denominations can if a denomination continues to work until walk with God and for God and follow Him, you will find that that denomination will flourish, even though there is persecution, even though the managers of the nation because that's what they are, they are managing and you cannot manage a spiritual crisis. What you can only do in a spiritual crisis is to do exactly what King Josephat done. The enemy came against him. And he realized that he was unable, even though he was anointed, even though he was cold, that he was unable to fight this battle. Because what was coming against him was greater than him. But what he understood that if he went into fasting and praying and seeking God, and laying prostrate out, prostrate straight out on God, literally straight out before God fasting and calling on God and seeking God he found the answer In an unnatural world, he found the spiritual answer that absolutely flattened the enemy. When you look for the answer, in a very material world in a material way, you will get the same thing you will get trouble. But the Bible says, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything else shall be added unto thee. So when we look at this scripture that we are in the sun is the image of the invisible God. So when I seek the son, I find the father, when I find the father, I find the will, that is for my life, when I seek him. But when I look and I as I am governed by managers, I find that I am managed, and you cannot manage a spiritual crisis, a crisis that we are in is is very deep at this moment that the crisis that we are in what is the crisis, we are lawless, and what I mean by law less that the laws of God, the laws of the Covenant, the laws of God's spoken word, had been removed by humanity, when you remove God's laws out, and God will allow this to happen, because he sat and he watched the Israelites time and time again, come away from instruction. So what are the laws of God very simply, and very easily put, as I will put it now, that the it is instruction of what God is saying to me as a human, and what God is saying to us as a nation, and what God is saying to us, as the brothers and sisters and the governors, when the governors do not come under the governance of God, and the governors govern and they manage, we find that we have an issue. What we need is very clear, cut, preaching and teaching to bring this nation back. Yes, God is working in this nation. God is shaking this nation, but you find the more he has shaken the nation, the more he has shaken the church, we have a situation where the church is looking more at what the world is doing, and bringing worldly governance in rather than speak and looking for spiritual answers. In a very earthly situation. We are needing God like never before in this nation, there is carnage. But it's almost as you look across the nation, that the mouths of human humanity within the UK are being closed, because people are being frightened to speak out against the management. Because as soon as you speak out against the management, you rise up into a light layer, that is a spiritual layer. And when you rise up into that layer, you completely present yourself to God. And when you come up, not that you are coming up against the human being, because the battle is the battle belongs to the Lord. But when I come up, and I stand up for my faith, what I do is I come against the laws, the natural laws of the land, the laws that the managers are trying to do and the laws that the managers are trying to give us. And what we have seen across from the channel coming across from the EU coming over over a very many years that we've been governed by a governance that is outside of the will of the God that we serve, and that's what we had because Christian
