And as we just be still and know that he's gotten wherever you are across the earth, just gather yourself. God is with you. God is for you. Is not against you. Good morning, everybody. Let's just go straight in to the scripture this morning. We're in the book of Philippians chapter four verses six through to seven, a very simple text this morning. Be anxious for nothing. Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever your press on life is this morning Philippians chapter four verses six through to seven says Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving. let your requests be made known to God. Don't hide anything back from him. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and your mind through Christ Jesus, such an interest in texts that we have there. Philippians chapter four, verses six through to seven, Be anxious for nothing. I pray that you are anxious for nothing this morning. And if you are anxious for anything in your life, I pray that you will just hand it over to God. It's easy for any one of us to say how do we do that? The simple fact is that we just say Father, I need your help this morning. Lord, I'm anxious Lord, I'm worried about work. I'm worried about the bills. I'm worried about the children. I'm worried about relationships, Lord, I'm worried about work. I'm worried about life, Lord, and even the question that a lot of people are asking themselves Am I saved? You know, that is a big question that's rumbling around church this morning across the platform of church, Lord, am I save work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Let me just remind you that God is the God that gives salvation. It is a gift, you are saved, you are blessed. You are a child of the living God and God loves you unconditionally. But I just want to remind you, and I just want to try and encourage you this morning, wherever you are across this earth that Be anxious for nothing. But isn't it easy when someone says to you Be anxious for nothing, don't worry about it, it's okay. But when you're carrying the worry and the fear, it's such a different story, when each and every one of us might be worried about our work, our finances, our relationships, our home life, our children, whether we're married or married, whatever we may be going through as human beings as sisters and brothers in Christ. It's really easy, isn't it to say to someone, don't worry. But the issue is, is releasing that worry releasing that fear releasing handing it over? I think that comes down to faith and I and we all been given the same measure of faith. You know, we get that we understand that. And what is so lovely about the Word of God and the power of God that we're we're all the same in his eyes. We're all the same. We're all his sons, his daughters, whoever you are today, I just pray that you will find peace. Let me just read that scripture again. As we enter into prayer together this morning, get yourself some communion communion, get yourself a Bible maybe whether you're at work wherever you are, excuse me, wherever you may be today. I just pray that the Holy Spirit the Comforter will be the advocate. I pray that the Comforter will strike for you today, verse six of Philippians chapter four. Be anxious, sorry, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, Lord, with prayer and supplication, Lord, I bring my request to you today. I make it known to you, Lord, I verbalize it Lord, I speak it. Lord, I'm worried today. Lord, I'm generally anxious today, whatever it may be, it's okay to be anxious. It's okay. It's fine to be anxious. But don't let the anxiety hold you. Because anxiousness, anxiety, stress and worry is the general press of life that goes with being a human being. And guess what we are human beings at the end of the day, we are filled with the Holy Spirit. We are not little, little gods, as some ministers tell us that we can do all things through Christ, and we are supernatural beings, and we can float and weaken, and all that sort of stuff. We are humans, we are blessed and highly favored. We carry the Word of God. Yes, I understand what the scripture says the old is gone, the new has come. But yes, I still carry worry. I still carry fear. I still carry doubt. Yes. I said that sometimes I doubt God. Are you here? What is what is this life all about? But then it says in verse seven, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, the peace of God, I pray this morning that you will have peace. I pray that you will have peace over your life over your ministry over every area of your life. Yes, everyone experiences fear. Everyone experiences worry, you know, general, anxiety disorders are high at the moment. Fear is high. You know, and I think that if we do not recognize that we have fearful moments that we could be cheating ourselves, we could be letting the devil ever ever run around with it. Because when I say Lord, I'm worried this morning. I'm verbalizing it. I'm letting my request I'm bringing it before the Father. I've got to speak it. The scripture says You have not because you ask not. So this morning, Lord, I asked that anyone that is fearful. Anyone that is doubtful, anyone that is worried this morning, Lord, that you will lift them, you will lift them and carry them in the name of Jesus carry them in the arms of the Father, I thank You, Lord, that the arms or the father always open the Father's arms as the prodigal son left the father's house and the father was welcoming him back from a distance before that that person came back to the Father's house, the father knew that his son was coming back. And there are many protocols today, there are many protocols, and I thank God for the protocols and coming to that realization. Lord, I gotta get back to the Father, I got to get back to the Father's house, I got to get back. But for those that are just jumping online this morning, the biblical reference for our launching point this morning is Philippians chapter four, verse six through seven, Don Anandi will have scriptures, but I'm just going to lead us in a very simple prayer in a few moments. Philippians chapter four, verses six through seven. This has been a very interesting text over lockdown, it has been a very drawing text, it has been a text, I would say not my go to text. But this is a text that I believe God has been leading me to when there has been many around me that are anxious and worried, not just for myself, but for any one of us. And I have to remind myself that yes, I am a human being, I am a man, I am a father, I am a husband, I am a son, I am blessed and highly favored. I am a child in the living God. And we've been a human being there runs an area of my life, which is called fear, doubt, worry, stress, general life issues, because that comes with being a human being. We find this in the disciples. So what gives me comfort, there's nothing wrong with actually recognizing that I'm fearful and worried. I'm a bit down today, but I cannot allow that to overtake my faith. David has a fantastic scripture in the Old Testament, where David and God are having this conversation and David says, What do I do? What do I do? It says David strengthened himself in the Lord. That's where we get our strength from is the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit from our garden? It is about walking with Jesus. Then we say, well, what does walking with Jesus look like? It just is so simple. Father, I'm just gonna follow you. I'm a disciple, because I can't change me. He changes me. I can't change myself but through the power of prayer, through the power of supplication for the power of thanksgiving. let your requests be made known to God knows my heart he knows your heart. And if you are carrying anxious thoughts this morning if you are feeling doubtful, if you are feeling worried about your money, your job your life, that is very normal. We must have to recognize that that is normal, that we are not the super human beings that certain ministries tell us that we are. There are many ministers tenants that we shouldn't be unwell we shouldn't be this we shouldn't be poor we shouldn't bla bla bla we shouldn't be but what my my Bible tells me very clearly that I am a human being but with God, all things are possible to those who believe. What my Bible tells me is that I will go through pain and I will go through suffering as a human being as a believer for the living God. Look what God said to Anna nice and a nice, don't bring your trouble to me. Just go and pray for Sol Sol. But Lord, do you know what you've been doing? God's said to analyze, I will show him how much you will have to suffer for my word. Do you know what being a Christian is the hardest thing that you will ever do? Being a believer in a world that is so carnal? And so Antichrist being a believer standing on the word, being being a man or a woman for Christ, just just just if you say I'm a I'm a Jesus follower, I follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I follow the God of Israel. Then you know there's there aren't the Bible says there are many gods there are many, that you only got look at Simon the sorcerer. So what Jesus Am I following? What Jesus? What gospel? Am I following? Who is this God? Well, this is the God of Israel, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, this is the deity This is the God that said, let there be light. And if you are bold enough to say, I am a believer of the God of Israel, the creator, the creator of heaven and earth, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, I belong to Jesus Christ, he is my first he is my last, then suddenly Our bodies become this vessel that God uses us we are filled to the full measure of His glory. By just trying to encourage you this morning, please do not worry. Please do not let fear get out of you. You know, and anxiety, worries and doubts. It is the natural pres of life. But by faith, let's encourage one another. Let's be encouragers let's be Barnabas is let's be in sons of encouragement. Let's be Daughters of encouragement. Let's encourage one another. And when someone says, You know what, we're worried to go, do you know what I was worried the other week? I was a bit down the other week, but I just prayed and God lifted me. You know, look at that. Look at Doubting Thomas. I'm almost at the end of my little ramble, Doubting Thomas. He said very clearly. Don's got a little smile on his face there. And I'm almost at the end of my ramble. You know, Doubting Thomas. He said, Don't tell me any more. I don't want to know about this Jesus. Unless he doesn't, unless he shows up. I'm not gonna believe. I love Thomas. I think that that character represents me in many, many ways. Thomas, I don't want to know any more. You've got your miracle. You've seen him but I haven't. So I need to see him and Christ that back into the room, through the stonemason wall through the wall through the wall. And he said to Thomas, Peace be with you. And I believe that Scripture is prominent for all of us, all of us. Peace be with you. Amen. Do not be afraid wherever you are across the earth today. Do not be afraid, because your God is Jehovah Jireh Your God is Jehovah Nissi Your God is Jehovah shalom, Your God is God. Jehovah Rapha, Your God is your provider. He is your King. He is your everything. He is your great I am and he is your Redeemer and you are redeemed. You are free from the penalty of sin. You are free. You are saved. And I pray that God will just bless you so much today through that through peace through his presence through his love through the the comfortable beauty. I can't I'm lost for words this morning. And I believe God is revealing His scripture to you. I believe God is calling you. I believe God has saved you. I believe God is with you in your home. I believe God is walking with you. Now I believe God is with you in your workplace. In your university. I believe God is in your marriage. I believe God is in your life. If you are single, even if you're going through a divorce, God is with you. Even if you're in the darkest position of your life, God is with you. Even if you're stuck and you're trapped in addictions, God is with you. God has not left you nor forsaken you. God is a rescuer. He rescues the person when they are in the most difficult, darkest position. And you know what he's always rescuing. He's always setting me free. He's always given me a hope and a future. He is the God that loves you so far this morning. bless everybody around this table. Everybody in this house. Everybody online today everybody that will capture this through the power of podcasts. Think, strengthen us we pray in the mighty name of Jesus Come Holy Spirit. Thank You that You are the advocate. You are the king. You are the Lord of lords. And in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray that we will fill a refreshing rain Lord, it's the only way I can describe it this morning, Lord, let your let your presence Lord be like fresh rain on us, Lord, Lord, let your your presence Lord just be like the fresh rain just just raining on us the latter day rain that your presence Lord, let us feel your presence. And all those that just feel fearful. And all those that can't talk about their fear in their family or in their workspace or in their lives. Because it will react to others to think very differently of them. Father, I pray that their god that you will be with that person that has to carry that fear that has no one to share, Lord, But Lord, they have you. So Lord, I pray that they will find a space in their life. And just Lord give you everything Lord that's on their heart because you see our hearts, Lord. And we thank you for this moment in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit.
Donny Stockburn:Yeah, I'll just look down at a little piece of paper scribbled on during the week there. And as Ben was preaching, Alpine. Can anyone show me where Jesus said, this life, this journey would be easy. It was a question. There's nowhere that Jesus said it would be easy. He said, It will be trials and tribulations in this world for his children. Yes, Lord. And I just believe that. I wonder why I kept getting this scripture in the week. And now I know why God is right this morning, who wants to reestablish in our lives, who we are, who we really are, not who, who the world thinks we are just a bunch of this that Alia or whatever, no, but religious people all sorts of titles, but to re establish who we are who we really are in Christ. And I wouldn't go to Romans eight, verse 15, and 16, to do it. And so it says, For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear. But you received a spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are the children of God. Amen. Yes, that's who we are. period, which is thankful that Lord Paul reminds us here we are God's children, we are by the power of the Holy Spirit, we've been brought to repentance, and, and made sons. And now we will, we may not always feel like that, like this morning, we was talking before we started here, we didn't feel like that we felt quite worldly. But the Holy Spirit of God is putting us bears witness to the fact of fact that we are our children of God. And so learn, to learn that to download into keeping it's gotten in our lives. And so we are no longer fearful slaves of fear. Like, Paul describes it well, they're fearful slaves to fear. That's what we once were. But now we no longer are. Now we've been set fully empowered, God has already given us His greatest gifts thanks, gave us His Son, Jesus, He gave us the Holy Spirit to be with us forever and ever and ever in his life, to not just walk with us, but to dwell in us, so that we would never be apart just as just like the three years or so that the disciples walked with Jesus, that close, Holy Spirit is with us. And he's given us that spirit, that Holy Spirit, that gift, and he's given us an eternal life. God has poured out on us, because we are his children, his most precious gift. He's given us everything we need. And Lord, we just fix our eyes on you now. And, Lord, as we go through this life, and fix our eyes on the wonderful terms. I've got a few things written down there that God gives me in a way that we've repented of all our sins. We've asked for forgiveness, and God has done it, God has completed it. Jesus has done it all for us. And Lord, we just ask you now, as we go along, Lord, that we will not listen to those voices of discouragement. Yes, we won't listen to self opinion. God, sometimes we do the enemy's work for him, Lord, we we persecute ourselves and we say, well, we failed again. We've done this again or done that again. Lord, we are children of the living God. I pray you will remind us all Lord, who we are in Christ Lord, that we've been raised up to eternal life, that we will live forever that we belong to him that his name is written on us Father God, we have been deemed we're both were paid for, everything is done, everything is finished. Jesus did it all. Lord just remind us of these great truths in our lives Father God, as we as we walk through the world, we get welding opinions about ourselves, Lord, Father, I pray to in every single our, you will reestablish who we are Lord, Father, God, that spirit of the living God bears witness that we are children of God, we belong to God, and Father arches, Archie now that for all those Lord who are down in the valleys, following God and walking down there, and thinking that they're on their own, and all those worldly thoughts piling in Father God, you know about those things. That's why you gave us the Holy Spirit. That's why you sent him Lord, that's why you said he will be with you forever, bearing witness to who you are. You are my sons, you're my daughters, and I love you. And that's the that's the testimony of the Holy Spirit in us, Lord. So far, we pray that you will turn our minds and our hearts and our souls and our spirits upon this word of truth theater, I'm looking at Lord, my funds on fire and God pulled out all those years ago. And the power of your Holy Spirit, Lord, you wanted us to know that and we established in us our lives, who we are Lord in Christ, we are your sons. We are your daughters, Father, God and no less than it. And I pray this in Jesus name, Lord, that all all all listening, all who come to you. We'll have this truth we established in our hearts, Father God. I asked in Jesus name, amen.
Andy Hammond:Amen. Amen. Thank
Reverend Ben Cooper:you, Jesus. Thank you.
Andy Hammond:Thank you for that text. Donnie from Romans eight. The, My Bible says the Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now, if we are children, and we are heirs, amen. Here's a golden code is Yes, Lord, and the Spirit of sonship. I think your says the Spirit of adoption. And yeah, I think in Roman and Greek culture, to be adopted was one of the greatest privileges that one could have. And, of course, when you're adopted, when you're adopted son or daughter, you have all the privileges of someone who is born to those parents. And that's what God has done for us through Christ hormone is selected us into the family is done. So we have all the rights of men, the children. And so we are adopted into his family, which is astonishing, that through Christ through His death on a cross, we are given all those privileges. Thank you. We, as Paul goes on to say, we're more than Congress. We are We are more than Congress. Thank you for that all those things. God has a knew what was going to happen. And he didn't spare his own Son. Thank you. gave him up for oh man, thank you, Lord, please been given up for us all. And that's, we have to bear that in mind. Each time we awake, because just ponder on that, that Christ was given up for us all. And we have this hope. We have this hope in Christ Jesus, amen. And he Hebrews tells us that faith is being sure of what what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see. As long as amazing. We have this hub. We have this open Jesus is Lord and we are then called to persevere, as it says in Hebrews. Because as I think Ben was praying earlier on that we don't know what's around the corner. We we struggle, we are anxious. We despair Some of us are grieving. But God is with us. He walks through this
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you.
Andy Hammond:We have this confidence in Christ Jesus. And I think some of us just need to sit down and be calm. Turn off the TV, just the radio. Yes. Come before Jesus, and just open our minds, open our hearts, to what Jesus wants to say to you. Thank you to ask him to come now. Yes for Ask him to come there. And a man who promises to do open your hearts to Him.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Lord, we
Andy Hammond:bless him to give you that strength. Give you that love. Such love Did Jesus show for each one of us. And we are called to love as well. A call to love one another. Thank you, Jay. Cool to love our neighbor. Not just our friends, not just our family. That love should radiate out from us to just picture walking down the street, passing a bus stop. And you see someone standing at the bus stop. Just as your eyes me, you can just smile. Have you noticed that when you smile at someone, they quite often smile back. Yeah, and but if you don't, there's no contact there. Right? So today I would ask you just think about that. When you're out walking or when you're in the shops or when you paying the bill at the tool, smile and see what reaction you get. Very true. See what reaction you get very, very true so far that we just thank You that use smiled upon us. You smile upon us when we walk the walk that you want us to walk Yes, Father, you smile. Amen. And but you're better than your dislike a parent. You're lucky a good mom or dad, when a child falls over you come along and pick us up. And you brush brushes down, rub our knees when we graze them. And help us back on our feet. Amen. So we ask Father God that you do that. For those who've tripped and fallen this last few days. Help them to their feet. Brush them down. And that comforting word. Are you okay? I'm with you. Thank you, we can come to you. And we thank You that You give us such power by your spirit. Yes, we can carry on. And we as we've prayed already, we asked you to come Holy Spirit just to invade this place. invade the homes of all those who are listening today. Yes, father, who are watching today that you will invade their homes that you will fill it with love and compassion. Compassion for the lost father.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you Jesus.
Andy Hammond:It's on my minds morning. All those who don't know you, the lost. Father. We pray now that there will be many contacts made. Many contacts made this day. For all those who don't know you. They will come into contact with someone who loves you. And that love will radiate from them. To those who are lost. They will see the love of Jesus. So, we pray that today that many, many people will come into contact with you, Jesus, the Son of God What are some of the most high thank you and they will be able to declare that they love you because you first love them
Reverend Ben Cooper:and thank you, thank you Holy Spirit, you know, and you said st that's created a bit of activity on the timeline I see there Yeah, keep smiling, keep smiling and keep waving, you know how important is that something that is just so, so nice and so beautiful just to smile at someone you know, because the smile says so much you know, but we're in a culture and society where you're much frightened to look at some people you know, and you're you're commuting all day you're rushing around you know, but what a smile does and just a general good morning good afternoon you know and I just pray that wherever you are that you will have someone actually smile at you today and say good morning good afternoon, you know that the good that beautiful feeling you know when humanity smiles at humanity just that that gentle you know that gentle smile that that wave of Good morning so Father we thank you. For the pleasantries of life we pray Dear God, that we will not keep our just heads down focused on the ground, Lord run running around very robotic but Lord that we will lift our heads we will look towards the hill and we will smile and as we smile, Lord the world will will capture Lord Jesus capture the radiance of God's glory. Lord from each and every one of us the presence of the Holy Spirit's a Father we thank you, that we carry hope we carry future we carry destiny, we carry the Living Word we carry everything so Lord I pray Lord that today Lord we will make an effort Lord to smile at work colleagues at friends even at family would load the joy of the Lord but yeah, strength we pray, Lord, that this nation will be a joyous nation. We pray, Father God, that religion, law God will will go and law we will fill the very charismatic the very refreshing breath, Lord, the move of the Holy Spirit Lord God, Father, we thank You, Lord, you are moving Lord. And we asked you this morning, as we come to the table or just for the very simple things of life that we will be reminded of, of that very thing of saying, Good morning. How are you? Good afternoon. May God bless you. Lord, I pray for the power of conversation. How powerful is a conversation, Lord, as the book of James tells us very clearly, that the power of speech the power of the tongue, even though it's the smallest muscle in the body, it can do the most damage through lifting someone up or pulling someone down. So Lord, I pray that our words will be words of encouragement Lord, our words Father God, we words very thoughtful, very wise words that we share with the world. So Father, we thank you for the power of the spoken word. And the power law of just smiling to someone of just saying good morning, good afternoon. How are you the very simple things of life law but are very, very rich Lord, for that person that may be feeling down that may be feeling anxious a Lord this morning, we pray, Lord, for Nehemiah chapter eight, the joy of the Lord is our strength. So Lord, when we realize who we are, we can't help but smile. We can't help Lord God but smile, Lord and sing praises to your name. You are the God of Israel, you are the great I Am and Lord, as we come to the table this morning, I pray right now in the mighty name of Jesus Lord, Romans chapter eight, verse one, Romans chapter eight, verse one, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, that should make each and every one of us smile when we actually look at that scripture. Verse one of Romans chapter eight, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit, who gives life has set you free, we are free. What we free from this morning, let's go a little bit further through free from the law of sin and death for what the law was powerless to do. Because it was weakened by the flesh God did by sending God did God did not religion, not men, not the bishop, not the not the pastor's no one. But God did what did God do? God did by sending His own Son in the likeness in the likeness, of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in the flesh in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, that brings a smile to many of us today that brings a smile. We are free, who the sun sets free screen, you are a child of the living God as Andy and Dawn take us around the table of remembrance as the passing over of the angel of descript destruction. And as we break bread and as we Take this cup together this morning remembering, remembering that we are sanctified, justified, we are redeemed, we are blood washed, we are children of the living God. And to those in the world a podcast a week later down the timeline of life. May God bless you and strengthen you and new just gather yourself some communion and some bread. And as we do this together, week in week out, we're not doing it religiously. We're not doing it robotically. We are doing it with our heart, we are doing it with our heart. And this morning, Lord, my heart smiles because of the power of your word, Lord, I feel at rest. And I pray, Lord, many will feel at rest today, Lord, as we break this bread as our brothers leaders today, Lord, thank You for peace. You know, peace brings a smile, the joy of the Lord brings a smile, the love of God brings a smile, we are redeemed, we should be jumping around our front rooms at the moment, we should be running around the office shouting out Jesus loves me. Wouldn't that cause it to fifl? Wouldn't that cause a disturbance in the workplace at the moment? Wouldn't that be crazy? Wouldn't that be just wild? Wouldn't that just be nuts, just running around the office space at the moment, jumping up and down on the scaffold wherever you are in a lecture hall, jumping up and down, you know, praise the name of Jesus, the joy of the Lord is my strength. God is with you today. And God is always with you. Our brother, Donnie and Andy are going to lead us. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for
Andy Hammond:just staying in Romans eight to towards the end of the chapter. Show that heading says more than conquerors. Amen. And it says, and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. Amen. Who have been called according to His purpose. Yes, father. For those God for new, He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers and those who predestined, he also called those he called he also justified and those who justified he also glorified. What then shall we say in response to this? To this, if God is for us, who can be against us glory? He who did not spare His own Son, but gave him up for us all? How will he not also along with him graciously, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charges against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns Christ Jesus who died more than that, who was raised alive, is that the right hand of God and is also interceding for us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution, or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is? For your sake, we face death all day long, we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all of these things. We are more than conquerors through him who loved us and praise God, For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor demons, neither the president nor the future, nor any powers, neither height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God. Amen. That is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. can't add anything to that Father God. That's a powerful word from you. Yes, yes. So we just say amen. Amen. As we take the spread in remembrance fear.
Donny Stockburn:Yeah, thank you, Lord, you foresaw all the things in our lives follow? And you provided in advance the answer to it all, Holy Spirit, given to be with us forever, not just walking beside us and keeping his company like some good friend in us, with us, His power, change is his power to enable us His power to get us through his power when we own the mountaintops, his power. We were in the valleys in his fat power, when we're facing troubles and issues that we just can't even think about. He's there with us. When we fight, when we're fighting for our lives, even he is still with us. He will always be with us. He will never leave us. God said forever and ever and ever. He will be with us. So far to God, we just pray as we turn our eyes upon your provision for us in this life, Father God, it's real and powerful, more powerful than ever. Anything that we can understand yet limitless power of the Holy Spirit, who was hovering over the waters of this earth, as creation came, that same spirit of God, living in us, God has given us that power God has given us that help. God has given us that guardian. And we really want the truth to remind us like he's doing right now. It's the Holy Spirit at work in us, speaking, re establishing who you are in Jesus, knowing what we're facing, knowing what we're thinking, knowing what we're doing, is with US Air Force, he will never leave us off. Thank you for these truths, Father, God, that we are not alone. We are more than conquerors as Andy just read to us. We are the sons and daughters and children who are living God has for eternity, Lord, because of his blood, because of his blood law, because he took our place in death. And now we have life, whoever, we just thank you for in Jesus name, Lord. Amen.

Andy Hammond:can I just say something bit odd. Give you some homework to do. Just everyone who's got a few minutes, read Romans chapter 12. And I think this speaks to each one of us today. Read the whole of Romans chapter 12. Talks about living sacrifices, and about love. Now we should love. Christ loved us so much. It's a really powerful chapter. Just read it for yourselves and take it in and see how this could change your life. To say a prayer to God, and ask him to draw yourself closer to Him. Amen. Today, just draw yourself closer to him. But read these words and take them on board. And I feel that some lives are going to be changed today by Jesus kind of read that. And is this a moment? This is the moment i i got a copy of God's word today, the whole, the whole works is free for years. And if you want a copy, I've got one for you here. Just get in contact with us. And we get one too.
