Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will save the Lord. He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. The key word for each and every one of us is to trust in God Yeah, trust God. Yes. Thank you. God bless you. God bless you everybody.
Donny Stockburn:Yeah, yeah, thank you, Laura. I just wanna say thank you for this Dilaudid I've had it's been a good day. All as well will be the watchman's cry for me has some issues going on but all is well. A very good day on the streets, praying for people and, and talking to people about Jesus and playing in here this morning. And it's a beautiful moon out there tonight. Not for one but it's a beautiful summer's night. People are walking about still in their sort of shirt sleeves and things like that. You see Benny's as well. I ran into bed at this time in the morning and not finding anyone. But um, yeah, it's a seems, seems to me through my life, I'm getting old. Now. troubles and fears in our life seem to sort of get worst during the night. Or at night when it's bedtime, you go to bed worrying about sometimes keep you asleep, keep you awake, and, and all shallow sleep and your dream a lot and stuff like that. And it's good time to we confront some of the things and get the Lord in on case. As I've done. I've spent a lot of my years younger years with a terrible fear of darkness. And I'll can tell you, there's only one boy, I've got rescued from that and house from the Lord and just want to say a few words of Scripture that helped me through some of the times and one of the more recent ones ism. It's in. Numbers. Chapter 2120 foot 223 That's, that's the chapters it's in. But I'm gonna go into chapter 23 Jas, verse 28, is a story of Balam and Balloch. And I think, you know, Balam was a prophet of God, God, God used him as a prophet, a ballot was a king of Moab, and he didn't want the Israelites to go through his land. So he thought he could I God's prophet to curse them. And so they wouldn't be able to come through. This is what Balam said to Balika. He said, When he got to view the Israelites, he looked down on him. And it is a lot of us now, God's people, and he says, How shall I curse? What God has not cursed? How should I denounce? Whom the Lord has not denounced? That's, that's more than a sign? How can I curse someone who God has blessed? We are blessed. God has blessed our lives, and nothing can come of us, except for God as to all be sorted out. So we've got and God has said, are blessed you so we are blessed. So fear not of all that stuff about curses and stuff like that. They do not apply to God's people, they have no power of your life. And that's one of the things I learned, give me bought me to, to relief in. And in lots of other ways as well. This Word reached into me right into my spirit, and bought healing there. God's people are blessed, and nothing can get to him. Nothing can get to them, no cursing, no, no words, no druids or anything. We are safe. We are blessed in Jesus name. And I just want to take you over to well, Psalm 34 Is it was another one. That was a big breakthrough for me. When I saw David's life, he was in a fearful place at this time. And he says, And God says, Oh, bless Davis says, I will bless the Lord at all times. Yeah, it tries to continually be my mouth. That's why I always begin saying thanks. And my soul shall make its boast in the Lord. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad, Oh magnify the Lord with me. And Let us exalt his name together. And here it comes. This is what I sought the Lord. And He heard me and He delivered me from all my fears. And I can tell you, I mean, all my fears. They looked at him, and we were right in and their faces were not ashamed. A poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The Lord saved me out of all my troubles. Yes, you may be troubled tonight. I don't know. I know we've all got his. Some people may be listening for hospital beds and got all sorts of issues going on in our lives. Maybe your fight of the dollar I was and darkness means, you know, a bit a few hours of misery and Hindus later waiting to see that little glimmer of a dawn come up in the morning. And you're sort of relieved and you can go to sleep at that moment. Yes. You don't need to do that God can flakiness rescue you. It's not just fear of darkness and stuff, fear of everything. God is with us. As Ben said, God is with us. He will not leave us. Yeah. And that's a promise. Set me for praying tonight, Lord, or notice lots of people, perhaps you Your dreams are terrible, and perhaps you dread sleep each night. Perhaps his sleep is so shallow, all kinds of issues come up, perhaps you're worried now about this, that and the other. Lord artists play now in Jesus name, that you will find a way into this spirit Lord, you Michael, by you all my wife, and we just pray together now us, me and Ben, and all those who join us online. Lord, we pray that you will make a way into every life is listening. Now, Lord, that afraid or worried or fears and stuff like that. Farrago, Michael, wait until your prompt that seed of truth, Father, God, that you are always with us, you will never leave us, you're with us. And we are blessed by you. And we are defended by you. And we are kept by you until it dies when Jesus returns. And it is your promise, this word of God is at complete truth. And you can stand on it, you can trust it. And you know, one of the things I used to do was if I was a little bit of fight or start worshipping God, and suddenly my mind would transfer off blobs of fight of what might happen and and onto the God God who I could trust, who could keep me safe. He promised that he would always be with me. And I believe that, and that set me free. And there is a verse, perhaps I can rely on that, in John, and his would tells us that God has given us the spirit. And he will be with us forever. I think I've told you this before. It set me free. When I actually heard it. It was another thing from believing it when I believed that word. When I trusted that word that set me free. And it'll set up Father God, I pray that anyone who's going through the meal now, in any way at all over darkness and fears and troubles and issues like that, for God, you will find that way into the arts with that word of truth, that you are with them, that they're not unknown, they will never be on their own. And that is a word that they can trust. Day and night Father God to set them free. I pray you will set him free. In a powerful name of Jesus. I ask this amen,
Reverend Ben Cooper:amen. Psalm 93, Psalm 93, The Lord reigns. The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty. The Lord is robed in majesty, and is armed with strength. He is our strength, His Majesty, he is your God and He is your King. And let's just take a moment just to rest out of the busyness of life. The chaotic press that is upon each and every one of us. The Bible says in Psalm 93 Verse five, stand firm, hold your place. Stand firm. Do not worry about the weight of the world. Do not worry about government departments. You know, this is really relevant for each and every one of us today.

I pray that you seek Him like never before. But each and every one of us that we carry each other in prayer. We carry each other in prayer.

Lord, we need revival in our hearts. We need revival Lord. In the church, we need the breath of God, we need the breath of God that breathed into that, that tomb into that the lungs of Christ, we need that breath that that word Father, we need that breath that was breathing down. The Israelites the army that was dead Lord, the valley of dry bones, Father, we are in a valley of dry bones. And Lord, we need the breath of God. Lord, we understand that the prophet had to prophesy. The prophet had to speak over the situation. So Lord, we are speaking over our lives we are speaking in and over and through Lord and we believe in the power of the Word of God. We believe, Lord, that the Lion of Judah is with us. We believe that the comforter is with us. We believe that the father is calling us we believe in the word of God, we believe we believe in miracles. We believe in the gifts of the Spirit. And God, we're all learning to walk very differently. Father, we're all learning, Father, to come out of this, this rhetoric, this this entrapment, this snare of religion and church. And, Lord, we want to walk in a fresh way. We want to walk in a new way, Lord, we want to walk father, in a way that we've never walked before. Father, as you said to the Israelites, keep close to me, because you're about to exit the wilderness. And you've never been this way before. Law. This is how we feel that we're about to exit the wilderness of life. Because we've never been this way before. And many of our journeys Lauder are very different. Your journeys is different than mine. Our journeys are really different at this moment. But we are all led by God, the God of the heavens on the earth. And God is bringing many out of the wilderness. But he is saying hold into my word. We're about to exit. We're about to be extracted. We're about to move out. We're about to press out to the right hand side, we're about to move out. There are many of you that are about to leave the wilderness of life. There are many of you that have never walked this way before because that's what the Word says. holed into the word you have never walked this way before. God said to Abraham, walk before me and be blameless, our Lord desecrate our heart, to walk before thy father, to walk before they interest within the living Word of God and, and feel the love the glory and the power. You are forgiven, I am forgiven. You are redeemed, I am redeemed. But I really believe that we are living in the data as it as it says in the Old Testament as it is in the days of Noah, so will it be in the end time. And I believe that there are many of you that God is preparing to exit the wilderness of life. God is taking you into the Promised Land. God is taking you into the promised land. And I pray that you will just focus on Jesus. You will focus on his word. He is the author. He is the perfecter of your faith. He is guiding you into new beginnings. Psalm 23.

Thank you Holy Spirit. Thank you, Father for this time around your word. Thank you, Lord for this time around the Scripture. Thank you, Lord for this time of resting in your presence. Thank you, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit. God's promises God's word. God's love. We are prisoners of hope. We are slaves of righteousness. And we have been bought with a price.

There is a move in your life that you never thought possible. There are new beginnings line ahead of you. There is a power on this nation that we have never seen before like it. God is breathing. God is breathing over this nation God is God is drawing you God is drawing me where we will see you will see and you are seeing strange, unusual situations unfold. The government isn't in control.

As Donnie will lead us in the bread and the wine, as we just gather, and continue to walk around the word of God tonight. Let the Holy Spirit draw you let the Holy Spirit just just take you further. Take your hands off the steering wolf of the vehicle of life. And trust him.
Donny Stockburn:That's the word.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Trust him. I'm learning to trust Jesus. More and more. I'm learning to walk very differently as a believer. I'm learning to lean into Jesus. I'm learning to listen to the word. But you know what, it can be really quiet. It can be so quiet. It can almost be frustrating. The quietness. Just listen to the quietness. Listen to the the atmosphere. Listen, listen to the presence of God in the stillness around you. You are loved unconditionally. God is with you at your home tonight. In Jesus name, amen. Thank you Jesus.
Donny Stockburn:Yeah, she's another scripture here that Hebrews 13 or thought about verse six, verse five, for six. And again, it confirms what what a long time here all my life to have would never be on my own. Again, no matter what was going on and unload on a loader. All around this world right now. In on the mission field. Here are some of your children, Lord, working in countries where his leveraging was, what his terrible sickness and applies of poverty and hardships of all kinds, Lord, and I've never done that sort of stuff myself. But I can imagine how hard it is. And Lord it there must be lots of times when they like everybody else, feel alone in it and and question what they're doing and a Father God, I pray that this word will go to them to Lord, and its neighbors and I'll just love it. And it says, Be content with such things as you have for himself,
Reverend Ben Cooper:thank you says,
Donny Stockburn:I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. As the Word of God, a pilot he said to Jesus truth. What is truth? This book here is the truth. Jesus said, I am the truth. This is the Word of God. And it's not written by anyone other than God, and God's Spirit. And Lord a we are found out that he's completely trustworthy. Of a Father God is living to Amen. isn't living True Father God, and I just pray. Father God for everyone who's listening now, this word here, I will never leave you nor forsake you will go deep into your spirit father, God, Father, all those issues, all those fears, all those questions, you will put to the salt. This word he will you run them through with the Word of God, Lord, and take them out of this system. follow God and leave him filled up with your Spirit and His living word Father God is completely trustworthy, that you said I will never forsake you And I will never leave you an order just thank you for that word that sets me. And I pray Father God, that everyone will receive what I received Father God, that freedom let break through Father God, the art didn't ever dream was possible. Yeah, good days get bad days. It's not an anesthetic is not a comfort. It is deliverance on speaking about not comfort, not anesthetic not getting by not bumping along for about a day, it's deliverance, out of it is left beyond a new life, a new life has begun. Once you know that, God is serious when he says, I will never forsake you. And I will never leave you. Never. He means never, I am not very good at English. But I know what that word means. Never. It means without seeing an old fart good, thank you for that word. It's so secures me to you loans, brings me into a full trust for God, still stuff that I need to get overlooked. But this word set me free. And I just pray, Lord, that it will be going out now and taking root. In so many lives, Father God, have not yet been set free from all your fears like this. And of Lord, I ask this in Jesus name. And we come into the table now. Thank you, Jesus, share, thank you, Father. Take part in his command, Jesus gave His command to bless our lives. And now I just want to take you back to Luke 22. And in that room that night, last night on Earth, we we learned so much from in the Bible from last night on earth, when when Jesus was in the upper room, teaching and comforting and prophesying to his people to his church, and that's us. And everything we read here is for us the same as it was for the disciples. So he says when the hour would come, he sat down, and the 12 apostles were with him. And perhaps we can imagine that were there as well right now. And he said to them, it's with a fervent desire, of desire to eat this Passover with you before suffer. For I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. I said before, there's a prophecy there that Jesus is going to return, he will be back and do what I did in that room that night. So he took the cup, and he gave thanks. And he said, divide this among yourselves. For I say to you, I will not drink the fruit of mine, until the kingdom of God comes. And he took the bread. And we take the bread Lord, as you told us now, and he gave thanks and he broke it. And he gave it to them. Each one. This is my body. He said and it's given for you do this and remembers me. And the wonderful that commandment is that we will never forget how we get saved. We will never forget who gave us all this, who delivered us from all our troubles and secured our future for endless times with you Lord in Glory. This is a body, that mighty eyeball and we thank you in Jesus name, Lord, amen. Can we take the cup now? Oh, this is the one. This is a symbolic of your blood, Lord is the blood that redeemed us that paid for us, paid for us. Thank you for all you bought us back out of that sentence of death. This blood bulls back ever said it before if you had if you had a solar system of gold nuggets. He couldn't buy one second of eternal life, but his blood. This blood is bought life for as many as we'll come to him. For Jesus said, Whosoever will come let them come and join the wolves of life. And this is the blood that made it possible, Lord, which is thank you lord in Jesus life. Amen. So Laura, we invite you, we asked you to come into our lives now and take us to a new place. Take us to a new level lot of knowing you and trust In your loving you, Father God and, and being blessed by you, your Word says, First word we read was, we are blessed. How can I curse God's blessed, we are blessed, and will be blessed forever, not just for this life, but forever. And as we guard our eternal life, it says there in John 524 think is, it's already begun. We've already got it. It says, Anyone who believes in me has eternal life. We've had it, we've got it already. And it's guaranteed to us because he's put His Spirit in us, for God, all these blessings. So enormous Lord, we just can't realize the more Lord but follow I pray. Tonight is my prayer. That we begin to trust you at a new level, not just hear this word not just be devoted readers of it, Lord, but we will trust it, that it will live in us and bring us into a new freedom father, God, of worshiping you and loving you, and serving you and Lord and enjoying this life and looking forward to eternal life. In Jesus name I played his Lord. Amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Psalm 119, verse 105, Your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light for my path. This is a critical place for us to be right now, in humanity. If you are a believer, and you're with us this evening, or wherever you are, the word of God is a lamp for your face. Thank you, it will light up the path of life. It will make the way easier. Thank you, Lord. God is revealing. God is drawing. God is moving psalmist says in 119, verse 107, I have suffered much preserve my life. Please Lord according to your word. God's word cannot return void. God's word cannot return void. His word is on time and on point. What do I need to do is get myself in His Word. And then all will be on time. Because His Word is a lamp unto my feet a light for my path. As the psalmist cries out, I have suffered much preserved my life, Lord, according to your word. Everything is according to the Word of God. Amen. And we see this power in Genesis chapter one. And God said, Let there be light. And there was the power of the spoken word as the universe came into existence. Not from a Big Bang Theory, not from a couple of existing atoms that just happened just to collide into each other. God spoke. And when God speaks, the world moves. When God speaks, nature moves. Your word is a lamp unto my feet. A light for my path. Light is needed in this nation at the moment. The Word of God is needed in this nation like never before. As we sit on the morning of the dawn of a new day, I pray as we have about 10 minutes to go. That you will just continue to walk in the Word of God. That you will just saturate yourselves in the word you choose. Let the word be in your heart. The Bible says. Press the Word of God onto the tablet of your heart. Let it rest upon you and all the world with you. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else shall be added unto thee. Seek ye first the kingdom of God. God is with you. I keep saying this so much lately. God is God is with you. God's love is unconditional. God is pouring out His Word into you and on you and around you. His word is a lamp unto your feet a light for your path. The scripture says meditate on it. Meditate on this word. So Father tonight pray, Lord as we as we disappear into our homes, our lives and wherever we are across this world. I pray, Father, that we will do what Joshua was commanded to do. Never let this book of the Lord depart from your mouth, but to meditate on it day and night, so that you then you will be successful, successful and prosperous, wherever you go. So Lord, I pray that we will meditate on the Word of God, that we will rest in the Word of God. Because, Lord, we come to an understanding that when I rest in the word, I'm resting in Jesus, because Jesus is the Word. He is the spoken word. He is the living word. And the Word became flesh, and made his dwelling among us. So Lord, help me, guide me, help those online and help those that are on the socials. Lord, bring us all to a place of walking in the Word of God. Walk in, in the Holy Word of the God of Israel is, Lord, bring the church in this nation, to walk in the Word of God. Father, I pray, Lord, for the power of redemption, to sweep for every house tonight. every child, every adult, all those that feel broken tonight. Let their bodies let their minds let their thinking be held. Father, let those that suffer with sleep, with issues with sleep that can't sleep that are struggling with sleep, Father, let their sleep be sweet tonight as the psalmist writes, let the glory of God descend in every house, every home every area of life Lord, Father, let us feel and hear of the voice of the Lion of Judah. The Lion of Judah Father, let us hear your roar let us feel the power of your stillness. Come Holy Spirit. We invite you in even though you are already in Come Lord Yes.

Donny Stockburn:Yeah, outage sir. Go back to her lovely word. Jesus spoke to the son, Matthew 1128. One of the words finally persuaded me to give her life to the Lord. Sounds a bit cheeky there. But that's how it was. And I was near to it for quite a time Jesus would have said you're not far from the kingdom God don't. But I wasn't there any. When it when I heard those words, it was much troubling, and still had questions and I heard that voice I come to me. If you got troubles, if you got burdens. Come to me. Give those to me. Yes. Put them down there. Put them down. Now. You take my yoke is light and it's easy to carry. I am humble and gentle. And you will find rest in Me. How could I have a sister? How could obviously say, How could or not long for my family to come and do the same? To stand near Jesus to heaven say those words to my children. He said it and they're saved now. Lord, I just pray now that we will all join in this prayer Lord, as we just come up to you now or go and sit down at your feet. Perhaps you can picture him sitting in seashore Galilee and we would just gather in front of him. And, Lord, we just pray to you and we we asked you, Lord to take He loves troubles and burdens the Lord and take them just in cowardice, Lord, to trust you to listen to that voice of love, and put them down not just love but power, and love, Lord, and put all those troubles down. Just give us a new bit of courage, whatever is required to lay down our troubles are really, really given to you, Lord, and leave them with you. And take your yoke. Lord, and we'll find that life is easy, and not to not to carry your bones or it's not saying that all your troubles are over. But he's saying that look what Jesus gives you is light and easy to carry. And make sure that you're carrying don't start trying to do things that he hasn't told you to do. unburdening yourself and I'm thinking you go work for this salvation. That's not what he's saying. He's saying, Give me your troubles. Give me your burned, Laura else now that we will all come to you. And leave those things at your feet. This night, Lord, and trust you trust that word? What you spoke, the Lord give you will be light and easy to carry. And you will find rest. A Lord that's what we're longing for. And I pay for this. In Jesus name, Lord, amen.
