Good morning, everybody. God bless you. God bless. Thank you so much for joining us today for this online church streaming service wherever you are, across the world today. We thank you so much from the very bottom of our heart today. May God bless you and strengthen you. Thank you so much for joining us for coffee and prayer. As we dive into the scriptures, we broke bread together this morning, as we got our brother Glen missing this morning, we just pray that God will be lifted up in the hands of God today and he will be blessed and his family will feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. So Lord, as we are gathering, we thank you for everyone in the world of podcast, we thank you for everybody on line with us this morning, as we gather around the mics as we just share the gospel of Jesus Christ as we rest. And as we be still I just pray that wherever you are, whatever your timezone is, that you will just feel his presence in your life that you will feel the love of God, the power of the glorious King of kings and the Lord of lords as we gather around the word. We thank you so so much. And the scripture that comes to my spirit this morning. What comes to my heart this morning, is about the cross of Calvary is about the cross of Calvary because I really feel in my spirit today that there may be many of us just need a little reminder this morning that everything was canceled out across the Calvary that we have hope that we have a future that we have everything because Christ went to the cross of Calvary. And when we look at the cross, what does it mean to us? What does the cross mean to each and every one of us? When I look at the cross, I simply see something very powerful. Yes, it's an empty cross. Yes, it's a place of victory. It's a place where the Old Testament came and was finished and completed. It's a place where the New Testament started. And we entered into a new covenant. And I just want to let you know this morning from from the the writer of Colossians chapter two, verse 14, it says, having cancelled the charge of the legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us, he has taken it away. And now that to the cross of Calvary, there was a legal charge against me. But because Christ went to the cross of Calvary, everything was wiped away because of the blood of Jesus. And I liked and I need to. And I must remind myself this morning that everything is wiped out because of the blood of Jesus, it has been canceled out because of the cross of Calvary is being canceled out. Because of the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. And wherever you are today, whatever is going on in your heart and your mind to Colossians chapter. Sorry, why should say Colossians chapter two, rather this morning, my mind is a little bit gone this morning, because I'm just thinking of the power of the cross of Calvary. And Colossians chapter two, verse 14 says having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness which stood against us and condemned us, he has taken it away. Now that to the cross. Now that to the cross, and then verse 15, and it says, And after He disarmed the powers and the authorities, he made a public spectacle of them triumphing over them by the cross. It's the cross of Calvary, we are here because the cross of Calvary are here because the victory of Christ Jesus, we are here because of the obedience of Jesus Christ. We are here because the scriptures were fulfilled. So that's what I said earlier about the fulfillment of the Old Testament, the scriptures were fulfilled up to that point. And then we entered into a new covenant and I just want to let you know this morning, whatever your life looks like, whatever you're going through whatever you've been through, the Scripture tells us that he counseled out that legal binding Word document he was cancelled out because of the cross a Calvary, because of the Messiah went to the cross for me, and he went to the cross for you. We are free this morning. We are free we can get so caught up. I believe in so much church stuff so much ministry stuff, so much just worldly things and live in life and suddenly take my eyes off the cross for a while and almost think to myself without thinking properly. What is all this about when actually I will never understand the power and The spiritual power that is behind salvation. I've just gotten to come to the realization in my human thinking and capacity as a human being as an as a believer that Jesus died for me. And that's it. That is it. The legal binding requirement and the document and everything that was drawn up against me as a sinner was canceled out, because Christ was obedient. And he went to the cross to Calvary, on free this morning, because of the blood of Jesus, you're free this morning, because of the blood of the Lamb. You're free this morning, not because the church has laid hands on us not because the pastor has said anything to us. We are free this morning. We are free not because your family is set you free, you are free this morning, because the blood of Jesus we are free because of the blood of the Messiah, we are free. And I just want to keep reminding myself and I hope you can poke up with me this morning, and I just gotta keep reminding me, me, me, me that I am saved because of him. You and you and me, Me and you, you and me, Me and you, all of us are saved not because of the power of religion, not because of the power of any other authority on this earth, but because of Christ because He now made it to the cross. I'm gonna read that scripture regret again. Colossians chapter two, verse 14, having canceled the challenge, there was a charge against me. There was there was a charge against me. The scripture makes it clear having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness which stood against us and condemned us. He has taken it away. Now that to the cross, and having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross of Calvary. It is because of the cross it is because of the cross it is because of the book of Exodus when I go all the way back because of the blood will be a sign. The blood is a sign when I look at the Old Testament and realize how powerful the Old Testament scriptures on how relevant they are. When when God gave the clear instruction down through Moses all the way down through air and down through the Israelites, the blood will be a sign that blood will be on the doorpost up upon the lintels. Now that blood transferred from that position, that blood transferred when Christ went to the cross of Calvary, and that blood suddenly washed everything away from Calvary. So when we look at Calvary, that Calvary suddenly become the doorpost and suddenly became the lintel of what we see. Because everything that was covered and marked with the blood got got a new beginning. If you have been washed in the blood of Jesus, then the question is, how do I know I'm saved? If we're asking these sort of questions, you're saved, because you're hungry. You're hungry for for spiritual answers. You're hungry for spiritual answers in a very physical world that can't answer that. We look at well, we look at society, we look at cultures, we look at work, we look at everything going on around us and we are in a physical domain, we are in a physical world, but there is the spiritual world that is that is there right beside us right with us. It is around us. God is with you and you are saved, you are blood washed, you are sanctified, you are chosen, Because of Calvary, because of the cross of Calvary. You are alive you are well forget what ailments we have on our physical body. Forget any aches, forget any pains, if we can, as I'm saying this, and I understand that there are many carrying real heavy burdens upon the physical themselves. But I just want to let you know above the physical, above the pain, above the anxieties above all this earthly stuff. Every everything was now to the cross at Calvary, you are saved and you are chosen, and you are blessed and you are redeemed. And you are a son and you are a daughter of the living God and you are in the salvation plan. You are so because of the cross. The scriptures were fulfilled at across a Calvary. Now we're waiting for the rest of the prophecies to be fulfilled. Regarding the return of Christ. That's what we're waiting for. But you are saved, you are washed in the blood of Jesus. There is nothing too big for the Messiah. There is nothing too big for the king. And when we look at that scripture, even in one Peter chapter two, verse 24, and it says He bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we may die to sin and live They have to righteousness for by his wounds, we are healed. He died for our sins, He died for our transgressions. He took everything on the cross of Calvary. And I just want to encourage us this morning, I just want to let you know, whatever your life is, whatever your situations are today, you are saved, you are chosen, you are loved, you are washed in the blood of Christ. Because when I look at Colossians, chapter two, verse 14, it brings everybody into the arena. It talks about us, us, it talks about the clergy. It talks about congregations, it talks about the center, it talks about anyone whose eyeballs glanced that scripture, anybody's heart that hears that scripture, suddenly they become the US, even without going to the church and trying to become the US. And the US is referring to those that are saved because of the power of Calvary and the blood of Jesus, we are the US. So you may be looking at that scripture, you may be hearing this and never ever entered into a church. But God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross of Calvary, so that you will have life and have life in abundance, because the blood will be a sign. I want to remind you this morning, I want to remind my heart this morning, that the blood was shed at Calvary is cross his side was pierced blood and water, according to the scripture, came out of the Messiah, as the Word tells us. And as we clearly understand the scriptures will fulfilled because Christ went to the cross. And let me read it again, as we come into prayer is going to lead us in prayer this morning to Colossians Colossians chapter two, chapter two in the book of Colossians, verse 14, through 215, having cancelled the charge, a very powerful, very powerful, right and in front of my eyes, having canceled the charge of the legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned US. So it stood against me. And it condemned me, I was over it was finished, there was no way forward. But because, but because of the obedience of Jesus Christ, for fill in the Scripture, not listening to man, not pandering to the religious organization, go into the cross, even when they cried out, Give us Barabbas even when they cry out, and they were shouting out, and the clergy were crying, when I say crying out, I mean, screaming out, Give us Barabbas at the top of their voices, they wanted that one, that insurrection they want in that one that was worthy of death, and they wanted to put the one to death that there was not worthy of death. And when Christ was on the cross, He said, It is finished. When he said it is finished. Suddenly, the earth shook, graves opened, the temple curtain was torn into access to the father became accessible through the son of Christ Jesus, I am the Way the Truth and the Life No one comes to the Father except through me. We have access, access to the Father through Christ Jesus, because Christ was obedient, even to death. On the cross, he was obedient to the Father's will. The Fathers will was to take the son to the cross. Then we find in in the scripture that that Christ says a few times, not my will, but Your will be done. Very interesting. So it shows us there was this the man Christ Jesus, as the scripture speaks about very loud and clearer. Christ went to the cross of Calvary, and Colossians chapter two, as I hand over to my brothers this morning. I'm going to read it again. Having canceled the charge of the legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us. He has taken it away. Oh, man, now that to the cross. And having this arm the powers and authorities, having made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. There's a lot happening in this scripture. There's so much happening in the Scripture. We've got salvation, we got redemption, we got hope. And also, at the tail end of that scripture, it says that He disarmed To the devil's work has been disarmed because of the blood of Jesus. The devil's work has been disarmed and powers, the authorities, the rulers, he made a public spectacle of them and triumphing over them. See there is power in the name of Jesus. If I've got any vices of art, if I've got any temptations, if I've got anything in me and around me and on me, that is trying to draw me, because Christ is in me, Christ is in you. So greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. So you are saved because of the blood of Jesus, you are saved, because the power of the Scripture, so greater is He Christ is in you. And Christ is for you. You have the deity, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and you are chosen doesn't matter how we look at ourselves, what we think of ourselves, you are blessed and highly favored, you are wonderfully and you are fearfully made. And Christ went to the cross of Calvary, because of obedience, and the scriptures were fulfilled. And the cross has made a public spectacle to the devil and all his spiritual agents and you are free. Because of the blood of Jesus, you we can trace it all the way back to Genesis, the redemption plan, we was you was I was in the redemption plan of God. Before I created the heavens and the earth, I know you, before you put any physical stretch on this earth, I created you, I see you in your unformed body that blows science and logic and physics out of the window that God see our physical being before our being was even born into being into existence. God loves us. Let's just just let our hearts know this morning. God loves me say that, just say that aloud just quietly at your desk at home, wherever you are. Even in here this morning. God loves me. He loves me, He loves me so much. And when we say that, when we really just just pronounced that just not going down the route of the naming and climate and the Pentecostal shouting and hollering gospel and say this to your brother next year, shake hands 10 times and all that. I'm not going down that road. What I'm just saying is I just need to remind myself sometimes, when everything is out the front door when everything is cracking away at me, I gotta say, God loves me. God loves me. And I know you love me. Because the Scripture tells me, then I got to try and transfer the sound of my voice. God loves me, to me actually believing it because sometimes I can't believe it. Because of my thinking, my attitude, my ways. My life, sometimes it can be difficult to grasp that God loves me. But he does love you. Because the scriptures have been fulfilled. God bless you this morning. And I thank you so much for joining us on this live stream service, whether you're in the world of podcast, wherever you are today, capturing this service. May God bless you. And just read Colossians chapter two, verse 14 through 215. And our brothers will be leading us further into this communion service. But Welcome this morning to coffee and prayer. God loves you. Good morning, my friend. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you, Jesus.
Andy Hammond:Thank you, Father. For that, Ben. It's kind of led me on to one John chapter three. And again, it's talking about love. Wow. And it says in verse or chapter four as well. Then in chapter four, verse seven, it says, dear friends, let us love one another. Yeah, come on. Lord. love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Yes, Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. And this is how God showed His love among us he sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. This is love. Not that we love God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Oh my lord. Dear friend, since God so loved us. We also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God but if we love one another, God lives in us and his life is made complete in us. So that's quite a commanding scripture. That's a very good scripture for all of us. That we should love one another. And I know that's that's not easy. And we need to come before God. And really just say that we're we're sorry, because we don't really reach those levels at all. yesterday, Sunday Jesus you can do that. As we've already said this morning, that Jesus went to the cross for each one of us, and died for us so that we could have life. And in Psalm 51 This is a song when David completely child up his own life, and he comes before God. And you know, we might be in that position as well that we completely messed up, and we can come before God. And he says here in Psalm 51, have mercy on me, oh God, according to unfailing love, according to your great compassion, blot out my transgressions, wash away all my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. Just as Thank you stop and think, for a moment of those words, those powerful words that was said by David, he came before God and said, just blot out my transgressions, wash them away. And that's what God did for David. And so powerfully, Jesus went to the cross, so that we can be whiter than snow.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, God.
Andy Hammond:How marvelous is that we can come before him continues. So all those an hour we come before God for Father, we just pray that we pray that to short verse from Psalm 51. Because of your unfailing love, we can come before you. And we If we confess our sin, you have mercy upon us, and take away all our sin. You blot it out. It's gone. And, as someone once said, it's like dropping them in the deepest ocean. So that, that God, amen. Thank you, Father, God, that you can do that. We come before you this morning, and give us a fresh start. We pray so that we can step out today. As we open our front doors, we can go out into the sunshine. Yes, knowing that you've forgiven us knowing that we have a fresh start for today that we can walk under the sunshine. And there are two sons out there. There's a some spell Sqn shining down upon us. But as we feel the warmth of the sun, we know that the Son, the Son of God, spell SLN is our Savior, and he loves us, and has died for us. So we thank you that we can be in that deep, deep relationship. Open our hearts to you, Father, God this morning, open our hearts. Come, be with us. Take us by the hand so that we don't trip or fall. And even if we do we know Father God that we can come back to you and you lift us up and forgive us. Amen.
Donny Stockburn:Amen. Yeah, I've got one prayer today and that's calling all prayer warriors. That's that's our God's been speaking to me lately. Linda, I just want to take you to a piece of gospel see neighbors for first seven, and it's about Jesus crying. And we hear a lot about Jesus but we don't really hear much about his private life, pray. Prayer Life, Lord doesn't really come to light like his his ministerial life, but it was there. It was powerful. And it was a big part of Jesus life. But I just want to read you about that. It says, during the days of Jesus life on earth, he offered prayers and petitions and fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death. And that was Jesus. That's how Jesus played us our same praying that with tears and cries at night those great prayers of old did is paid all alone sometimes on the sides it says he went out on his own and price. It might Neil's with wild animals and will quit as well. In in Gethsemane. And in the wilderness, again, he pried even even on the cross, his last words will the prayer Father, forgive them, his whole chapter, he spent a whole chapter, chapter 17 in John's gospel, praying for us for our lives now. That was the way that prayer operated in his life. And I just want to take it down to this little piece of news. It's really got me going in is about a man, a great preacher in the past and assembly and undertaking androids called Feeny in America. And he was a great evangelist and, and the work he did there is still known today in regions all around America. And he said this, someone came up to him once, after a sermon, a great sermon he preached and it said, your sermon, Mr. Feeny was very pleasing. And his reply was, he got the answer there. Is said pleasing. He said, I don't want it to be pleasing. I want it to be effective. And that's what prayer is. That's what we want to. We want to be bold, we want to break through. And this is the prayer life that Jesus has called us to this prayer life, thought of God I, my prayer is for lost souls. You've asked me, Lord, what do you want to pray for? And the answer is lost souls, lost souls father, God, those that will never know. Alyssa saved the loveliness of Jesus, the loved in this of the Savior, Lord, they will never know that they'll be lost forever, Father, God, and it says, Your heart was in anguish. The fathers are the prodigal son. He wasn't just filled with divine love for them, but filled with anguish that they wanted to be saved. He wanted them all to be so far got a new put that in souls, and hearts and spirits of your children. Those you are loading their life, Lord, and you've called into this life of prayer. Father, pray now Jesus name, that you will revive those souls arts look for these days now, Lord, to biking or being a great salvation, Father God that they will see that those that are still lost, follow you shout them, their poverty, and the riches of your kingdom. Thank you, Father, God, you showed him the difference, Lord of knowing Christ, and not knowing Christ, follow you. So shout them the death is found final. So follow, Lord that something has to be done about a new day, Lord, and I pray that in a prayer room, he will rise up prayer warriors follow God. They'll verify like Jesus that will play like a fini, Lord in his in his beard, a man called Daniel Nash who Pi Day and night, sometimes he would go into a city two weeks before Feeny came there, and he would cry. And it says in that room, it was loud cries and noises. They almost called the place to see what was going on in there. And they, they stayed in there, day and night praying and praying and praying for a city or town or price before evangelists moved in. Father God we pray for you will rise up prayer warriors like that, in this day, follow God's father, there will be a great salvation, Father God that it will be hearts one for the kingdom of God, Father, God, the thought of those souls, never seen you're never knowing you will never have been saved Lord for eternity. Lord is just too much. So Father God, we pray now that you will rise them up and bring in prayer warriors, Lord, bringing great people day and night, who cry out like Jesus did in anguish, and Lord for lost souls full of lost people, Lord, that's my prayer today. follow God that you will rise up prayer warriors. In the name of Jesus house is Amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you Holy Spirit. If we were to turn to the Book of Exodus, flick the pages over to the book of Exodus chapter 12. And it says something so powerful. Just a continuum of what we've been looking at and talking about the love of God and the power of prayer, the power of salvation, the power of the blood of Jesus. And it says in verse 12 of Exodus chapter 12, on the same that I will pass to Egypt and I will strike down every firstborn of both people, people and of animal. And I will bring judgment, opening judgment on all the gods of Egypt, thank you. That is at the door at the moment as well. judgment on all the gods, the blood will be a sign for years on your houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over. No destructive plague will touch you. When I strike Egypt, the Redeemer is coming. When the king is coming, the judge is coming. The word is on his way. No one knows the hour except the Father in heaven. Not even the angels, not even the Messiah. The blood will be a sign, quite graphic. We don't really hear many preachers this day and age speaking about the blood of Jesus, the cross of salvation. Maybe that could be because of political correctness and the fright the frightened thought of speaking about blood publicly and death because everything in the world of church is happy clappy jumping up and down and praising the Lord. But judgment is coming. The King is coming. You are washed in the blood of Jesus. You are single. celled with the blood of Jesus we are living in critical, we are living in powerful, we are We are really blessed to be living at this time in which we are living. Because we are seeing the scriptures just so alive. Time is is is in the acceleration mauve time is quickening, Time is moving extremely fast. Everything around the globe, one world order one world government, one monetary system. Everything is one, one race one one globe, save the planet. Everything is about the one and we are being prepared for the one before the king comes back. Before the King comes back. We are going to see the man of lawlessness the Antichrist, we are going to see the one. But there is one coming that is greater than any demonic force. There is one coming and his name is Jesus. There is the King, the King of kings and the Lord of lords the great I AM. Heaven is preparing. The horses have been released. Now, please God, speak to this nation father, speak to this nation Lord, Father, bring this nation to a place of repentance. Bring the church to a place of repentance bring me to a place of repentance. Lord, as we come to the table this morning, Lord, I asked you that we will be bold, bold believers and St. Lord, I thank you that I was a wretch. I thank you that I was lost. But now I am saved. And I am blood washed, and I am a child of the living God. And Lord, I drop and Lord, you put me into the category of Exodus chapter 12, the blood will be assigned and Lord and now, Lord, because of the cross of Calvary, I am captured in the New Testament. Lord, I thank you that blood was shed for me, Lord, and I thank you that blood was shed for those that are listening and those Lord, that may not even be thinking about Christianity at this moment in time, but the blood will be a sign. There's always a sign before there is a there is a physical move, very interested in the power of salvation. Salvation is already in and upon before the lips of the human actually says I received Christ. Christ saves you Christ went to the cross because the cross has happened. The New Testament has been fulfilled in certain areas and certain scriptures but we are waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecies of eschatology, the rapture of the church, and the end days. But what we have seen and what we have experienced is the early part of the early Testament where the scriptures were fulfilled and Christ went to the cross of Calvary, the old and the new came together. You cannot separate the old and the new. We see Christ from Genesis all the way through to Revelation we see him in history and we know that he is the president and he is what is to come. So he is the King of glory. So as my three brothers sit in this house, as the people are in the house as well this morning, and wherever you are today. The blood is a sign sealed with the blood of Jesus. Thank you sealed with the blood washed in the blood of Jesus. Whatever church we go to whatever religion we're Under salvation does not stop at religious doors. Salvation does not stop at hostile people, salvation breaks barriers salvation comes in. And how can it do that? Because God is love as our brother read out. God is our Redeemer. When I bring all the scriptures together, God's love is unconditional. And God will break down the hardest and the harshest hearts on planet earth. And God will break everything, and God has and God is getting through. So prayer is critical. Scripture reading is critical. walking with Christ is critical. But thanks be to God that my human press on all this Christianity that we look at, has no full bearing on my salvation because I am saved and you are saved. And I have no physical strength. To put any more emphasis on my salvation, because it is spiritual. My body has been saved, my body is going to return to the to the earth, as the scripture says, from the earth from which it came the earth it shall return and we will have a heavenly body, a heaven li body, and we are going to get there. Because Christ said It is finished. Abra I think it was our brother Randy that read out God is love. God is love. John 316 For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only begotten Son that whosoever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life back good, old faithful scripture of John 316. For he did not come into the world to condemn the world but to save the world. Isn't it interesting, it talks about world. But we got a king that stood in front of the screens every week that spoke about the planet. See, we got another king on his way that is coming to save the Savior of the world. Amen. Not the savior of the planet, because the planet is going to burn up. And we know what that planet is going to happen to the planet. Heaven and earth. We know what's happening to that. But we have one king that is being prepared by the monarchy. We have one king that has been prepared to talk and to really be very vocal on save the planet. But we have one king that the scriptures have been writing and have written about for 1000s of years. The King is on his way. The King, the King above all kings, the King above all kings are brothers are going to take us in.
Andy Hammond:I'll just be quoted John 316, which is probably known as the most famous verse in the Bible. But I'm always reminded when someone says that, to go to one, John 316, which is an easy way to remember this verse as well. This is how we know what love is. Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. Amen. Well, that is really powerful, verse it to remember, but this is how we know what love is Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. Thank you. And if the Son of God can do that for us, yes, we ought to be ready to make sacrifices for our own brothers and sisters. And even those that we don't know. And I just also wanted to refer to Isaiah. To us, a child is born. Thank you. That that is some really strong verses there in Isaiah. We haven't really got time to read it all this morning. But just go back to Isaiah. When he said, you know the people walking in darkness, have seen a great light. On those living in the land of the shadow of death. The light has Dawn, a light has dawned. And going down to verse six and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom. Wow. That is amazing. And what was it So I've sort of 500 years before before Christ, and there is that prophetic voice, speaking over Israel at the time, that there will be a king who will reign. And he was in the line of David. It's amazing how scripture is put together, how we can trust the Bible, from the old and the new, you know, when I was a young Christian, I hardly opened up the Old Testament. But it is so powerful when you read through the Old Testament, how it fits in with the new, and introduces, I suppose this is why I've been involved with giving away scriptures for a number of years and years, a number of years, over 30 years. And I've often offer scriptures to people and I've done it over these airwaves. And it's so amazing what Scripture is. And I've got New Testament in front of me and some of the helps in the front of this New Testament are quite interesting. And this is what it says about this book, the Bible. This book has the power not only to inform, but also to reform and to transform lives. Through its influence. Countless people have been given a new strength and an unerring purpose and assure hope in life. It has brought blessing to millions in every land and age. It is supernatural in origin, eternal induration, divine in authorship, infallible in authority, inexhaustible in meaning, universal in readership, unique in Revelation, personal in application, and powerful in effect. It will give you life, it will be open at the judgment, it is established forever. So come to it with all and with reference frequently. Slowly, and prayerfully.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yeah, amen. Straight to the table.
Andy Hammond:Thank you. Yeah, So Father, we just come to you. Those words, really sum up what your word is, what it does for us, how we can approach it, how we come to read it, how we apply our minds to it. And we ask, we want to drink it in, we want to take it into our very souls, to our minds and bodies, Lord, we want to walk your way. And as we come to Communion this morning, we remember your complete and obedience and so powerful act that you gave yourself for each one of us. And we remember that now we take the bread, we want to remember how your body was broken, and we we break this bread and knowing that you broke your body for us, broke your body so that we could have life and we take it now in your precious name we pray Thank you. Amen.

I'll set in Jesus name, Lord. And Lord, we just take this one, as Jesus did it all written down, Jesus did it all. But you can't do this. He can't repent for us. We must repent and come to him. But your blood, this bloodier paid the price for all our sins. Your blood, paid the price for our entrance into Evernote. To make us holy and righteous like you are a Lord, we just thank you for the truth of this Lord, that Jesus did it all. Amen, man.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Jesus, thank You, Holy Spirit. Wherever you are, across the earth today, God is with every one of us. God is with each and every one of us. And we pray this morning as we bring this in about five minutes or so to just a bit of a pause for for a while was we just pressed into the earth and walk and work and live and do whatever is coming our way I pray that God will make your way for those that just seem to be looking so clearly at Jericho. For those that are looking at their Jericho, they will see this morning that the enemy, according to the Word of God, was in lockdown. But we're living in a world where the enemy wants to lock the believer down. When it's the other way around, really what we see across the earth is many authorities want to lock Christianity down and away and push it away. Lock it away, destroying churches in certain parts of the world. Trying to remove Christianity off the face of the earth is impossible. So locked down is a very interesting word lockdown has some very spiritual implications. But you are not locked down you are free. Because the sun sets free is free indeed. And you know that your Redeemer lives and because he lives you can face tomorrow. We're experiencing lockdown in many ways, there was a forerunner. And it was titled as COVID-19 a forerunner of what a forerunner of lockdown processes. Now we are starting to hear and to see the effect of the fuel price. And what that is doing, it is stopping in our certain stretch, in our reach in our driving and our where we can go. The fuel price has to go up, because it's a means of control. There are many areas there are lots of things going on. But if you look at someone's life, you can shop online, you can stay indoors all day long, and have everything come to your front door. Don't be one that's locked down. Get out, stretch your legs. Get out and talk about Jesus. The Bible says go into all the world. Society. The largest shop online is saying, Stay indoors, we're come to you. Because if the world can lock us into a very insular and a very inward focus, we don't see what's going on. But the Bible says go into all the world. So get out and share the name of Jesus. The love of Christ. So this morning, we pray I pray as our brothers will bring this to a pause for a little while. Never give up hope. Never give up hope. God is with you. If you need a Bible, and he's going to share something.
Andy Hammond:Yeah, as I do every week, we have copies of the Bible. God's holy inspired word If you need a copy, it's it's a good, reliable translation. You see NIV. I sometimes call it the nearly infallible version. But that's just a joke, really. But if you want a copy, just get in touch with us, and we certainly will get a copy to you.
Reverend Ben Cooper:There we are. We're there. We are there. Let's just done what you close with scripture on percolators. We Yeah.
Donny Stockburn:Okay, yeah. Go to John 17. That great prayer that Jesus prayed, firstly, for his disciples. And then for us. This is a prayer, I go back to time and time again. And it kind of emphasizes what God's laid on my heart today. And she's says, This is Jesus words. That's what I love to see this read writing. I know that this come out of Jesus mouth. John was close to him. He earned it and he wrote it down. And now I'm reading to a lord. And this is what it says. Jesus said, I do not pray. I do not pray, remember is in prayer. I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in me through their word. Those who will believe me, God is looking, Jesus is looking forward to all the unsaved souls. And he's praying for them, that they will believe because of our testimony in these days now. And what a prayer, a prayer that he could look down through 1000s of years, wars and strife and trouble in his world, right through Dell law, and pray for us, pray for unsafe souls, that they will believe that they will be seeing God's glory. Jesus, I want them to see my glory far, or wanting to know more joy, or wanting to be one with me, all of them, Lord, Your love is so great. It's beyond even our imaginations, that you could pray a prayer like that for all those unseen unborn people. And us as well sitting here right now, this prayer, Jesus is for us. He prayed it and it was in God's will. And everything point in God's will, will come to be, and so follow God, we just, we just hang on to these words, knots, so only in hope but in short and certain hope that this prayer will come true, and is coming true right now. So Lord, send us out. Get us in that prayer room wherever, Lord, that those children who are still adrift Lord, those who don't know the loveliness of Christ, yet, will do Lord one day, and they will be with you in heaven as well. That is our prayer, Lord. In Jesus name, amen.
