Good morning and welcome wherever you are across the earth today, thank you so much for joining us. In the summer holidays, wherever you are, children are off. Parents may be off to wherever you are, whatever you are doing. We thank you for joining us today for coffee and prayer as we sit in as we gather around the mics as we break bread together, wherever you are across this earth. My God bless you and strengthen you. We thank you for everybody joining us on this broadcast this morning and everybody around the world. It's just absolutely mind blowing. It's amazing what God is doing. So we thank you and we welcome you this morning. As we gather for the Scriptures we gather for some prayer as we gather as we just break bread together as we just join hearts together wherever you are across the earth. Thank you so much earlier in the world of podcasting, the 1000s of downloads from Amazon music, I Heart Radio, Buzzsprout and Spotify and so many other platforms that we're broadcasting on May God strengthen you. We are straight in this morning and we're going to go to Psalms Psalms 28 Psalms 28. If you have a Bible, please please turn with me to Psalm 28. The word that I have in my spirit is the word strength. Do you feel that you're lacking strength this morning? That you feel weary this morning, that you feel tired of the drum skin of life God is with you. God is with you. But let's go to Psalm 28. Psalm 28, verse seven, The Lord is my strength for my shield. I really believe this morning God is strengthen you, God is guiding you. And wherever you are, I pray that the Holy Spirit will just take care of your life, your situations, everything that's going on, in and around you that you will find peace but all those that feel weary, or those that feel tired or those that feel exhausted of life with you can please turn with me to Psalms 28 Verse seven, The Lord is my strength and my shield my heart trust in Him. And He helps me My heart leaps for joy, with a with my song that I praise him. The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed ones. And it says save your people and bless your inheritance. be their shepherd and carry them forever. The Lord is your shepherd, you shall not be in one for those that want to turn to Psalm 23. And have a read of what Psalm 23 says, please do so. But I pray for you this morning. For wherever you are across the world. If you feel that you need strength for this morning, I believe God is speaking to you through the scriptures. The Lord is my strength and he is my shield. Why do we need a shield? We need a shield from the fiery darts the arrows of the enemy may fire and which they will fire? And how does that come? And how does that affect us as believers it comes through words. It can come through people's actions it can come from an audience in front of us whether it work with a family or friends or whatever. And however, words are extremely powerful. And that the Bible makes this very clear in the book of James you know whether you build someone up it talks about the the tongue is a smallest muscle in the body. And it does the most damage either lifts you or it can destroy you. So words are extremely powerful. And I believe this morning that there may be many listening that have had words and negative words spoken over your life for too long. Well, this is the day that the Lord has made we shall rejoice and be glad because this is breakthrough day. This is a new season, maybe you've been in a relationship. Maybe you've been in a university or school in a workplace, where line managers, family, whoever it may be, I've been putting you down with words, but words are extremely powerful. And they are like arrows, but I want to let you know this morning. God calls you a son or daughter of the living God and your God is with you. The God of Israel, the father of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham is with you. And this is the word for your life. You are a child of the living God. You are blessed and highly favored. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. And God is with you and you have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. But in verse seven of Psalm 28 says the Lord is my strength. For all those that feel weary or those that feel tired or those that feel that they're just energy levels have been zapped out of the bottom Have your feet God is restoring all the years that the enemy has taken the locusts, what the locusts has destroyed as it says in the good book. I find this really interesting that we are living in a time when energy levels are very low, when morale can almost seem very low when our feelings can be very, and our emotions can be quite low and our physical strength and our mental health can be quite low. But I just want to let you know this morning the Lord is your strength as it says in the Psalm, Psalm 28, verse seven, The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart, trust Him in him. It's all about trusting in the King of kings and the Lord of lords, The just shall live by faith. And as we have looked at over the weeks and through locked down, what does faith look down look like? Faith is a very interesting and a very powerful area of our walk with our living God, faith. Faith comes from hearing the message. And the message is heard through the word of God. So I pray this morning. As we enter into this time of prayer. Father, I just pray this morning for strength. I pray for those that feel that their bones are aching. I pray for strength for those that feel weary and tired of the general drama of life. I pray, Father, that you will bless them from the crown of their head to the soles of their feet as we gather for coffee and prayer as we sit as we beat still, as we know that you are God I thank You, Lord, that perfect love drives out all fear. And Lord, the Lord is my strength and my shield as the psalmist says, Father, I believe Lord in Psalm 28, verse seven, The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trust in Him, Lord, I'm not trusting in chariots and horses, as the scripture says, I'm not trusting in number 10 Lord Downing Street, I'm not trusting in the political agendas of the world. I'm not trusting in the money markets. I'm not trusting in what the world might be saying. But Lord, I trust in the living Word of God because your word is yes and amen. Your word Father, God is strength. Your Word is hope your word is life. And this morning, Lord, You are speaking directly into my heart, my mind, and my physical being the Lord is my strength and my shield. I thank You, Lord, that you shield me I thank You, Lord, that you protect me. And even if he was to turn into Psalm 91, if he was to turn into Psalm 91, as we hear the rustle of the pages turning over for this broadcast that we're in this morning, Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, I will serve the Lord. He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust God is your Savior. God is your strength, God is your deliverer, and he is your shield, he will hold it, he will stop the work of the enemy. What I love what I love about the Scripture, is something that really, really moves in my heart so clearly and so powerfully, is that one thing I've learned through the power of God's word is that when God is moving and God is speaking, the enemy actually flees. The enemy has no strength for no power. When God starts dealing and God starts keeping us on the potter's wheel. So if you are on the potter's wheel, with God as your master today, all is well God is shaping you, and God is delivering you and God is healing you and God is and has redeemed you you are redeemed, I believe that there may be many this morning that are holding a lot of guilt in there being many people are holding a lot of guilt, fears and worries about yesterday. All the stuff that went on more of the stuff that went on has already been now to the cross a Calvary before it physically took any position in our lives. It was now at the cross of Calvary. So if you are feeling guilty if you are feeling lost this morning, if you feel that you foul God, just look at the cross. Just look at the word of God and say Father, I thank you this morning for the power of redemption because Lord I am redeemed and we we are catching the socials as we see this as well. Yeah, good morning to everybody that's coming online. Father, we thank you that we are redeemed Lord, that father everyone that's joining this broadcast this morning. Across this Earth Lord, we believe we know that we are redeemed. The devil is a liar and we are sons and daughters of the living God and wherever we are across this earth today. I thank you for Psalm 91 Verse 11, For he will command his angels concerning you. To guide you in all your ways in every way of your life. There are angels been put to flight because of you because He loves you because He cares for you. Because you are precious in his sight because you are a son and you are a daughter of the living God you belong to God, your mother and your father. They are just owning you and looking after you just for a while. They just looking after your earth so your well being and they are just looking after you. But God is your guide and God is your shield. He is your Creator. He is your yes and amen. God created you. You are here because of him. You are, you are here because of his unconditional love and God has an he will command his angels in Psalm 91, verse 11, For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Isn't it interesting that sometimes we anticipate and we look at our lives, and we think, God, where are you working in our lives? Sometimes we look and we might think this is very hard to us. This is a very long stretch, Lord, I'm really struggling. But you know what, in the valley times we see the hand of God. In the valley times we see his strength in the moments of exhaustion. He carries you in the moments of almost your physical being going I've had enough I'm packing up, God says we've only just started he says his ways that are just his Marvel's to perform. So if you are in the valley this morning, give him a praise because God is your strength, he is your shield, he will deliver He has delivered, he has trusted, he has set you free. Trust in God, He is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. But this morning, the word that keeps coming back to my spirit, to my heart, to my mind, is the word strength. You feel that you've run out of strength, you've run out of physical energy, there is no gas in the tank that the energy levels are gone. I believe God will refuel you today. I believe God is filling you refreshed today. I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, I believe in the great I Am is with you. If you feel that you've got no energy, your energy levels have been zapped. You feel and your mind is saying what is the purpose of living anymore? Why am I here? Trust in the living Word of God. Just hold your place because God is surrounded you, and God is within you. And the enemy cannot get near you because the Scripture is clear. If God is for me, who can be against me? If God is for me, who can be against me, let the world come with all its armory. Let the world come with all its texts. Let the world come with all its false. And my let the world come with whatever it wants to come at me with. But it cannot get near me because God lifts up a standard. And actually, before that happens, there is a fiery hedge around us and before any arrow of the enemy has been fired through word deed or action, God snaps that arrow in mid flight. We got to be careful of our minds because the wasteland and the battlefield of the mind, but Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most higher will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Just trust him. Are we tired? Aren't we? Ministers like me going just trust Him? will teach me to trust him. Show me how to trust him. Show me how to lean into him. Show me it is through the word of God opening the Word of God up and letting your eyes follow the Scripture and just read the Scripture. Start in the Psalms. Start in Psalm 23. turn to Psalm 23, Psalm 91, and use that as a prayer. Look at Psalm 91. We could use verse one as a prayer. Father, I thank You today that I dwell in the shelter of the Most hi and I will rest in a shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord. He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. God, I trust you. You are my shield. You are my fortress, you are my King and you are my God and Lord, I will dwell in the shelter of the Most Hi, I will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord. I thank you Lord for Psalm 91 Verse 11, I thank You, Lord, that you have commanded your angels concerning me that you are going to guard me in all my ways, Lord, that they will lift me up in their hands, so that we will not strike our foot against the stone Father, I thank you for the power of your word. You know, the Psalms are so beautiful to bring into your prayer life. They are so powerful. It can be a you know, you just just grab a Psalm and and just just read it and just pray over. He is your refuge. He is your strength. He is your God. Then you could turn to the book of Joshua. You could pick up in Joshua chapter one, I will be strong and I will be courageous Lord, you have commanded me to be strong and courageous Lord, I thank you Lord, that I am prosper and I thank You, Lord, that I am loved. I thank You, Lord, that I am listening. Thank you, Lord, that I am on the potter's will even turn to Jeremiah. You know Jeremiah and turn to that scripture. I thank You, Lord, for the plans that you have for me declares the LORD Plans to prosper me, not to harm me, but to give me a hope and a future. Lord, I will follow you with all of my life, you know, following the Word of God in our prayer life. So Lord, I pray this morning for all those that feel that their strength has gone. All those that feel that their faith is departed Lord. We know that that is a lie because faith is a gift and it has been given, and it cannot be snatched by any devil. It cannot be snatched away by anyone because God has given us the gift of faith and Lord, that gift has been deposited in our innermost being. And Father, we thank you that as you water, that Lord, that faith, Lord through the Word, the living Word of God, as our faith is watered. And as we read the word we thank You, Father, that our faith grows in Christ Jesus, because the scripture says very, very clearly. faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the word of God. So this morning, Lord, we pray the Word we believe the word, Lord and you have put our feet upon the rock, you are the rock, you are the Redeemer, you have redemption in your hands, Lord, You are the king. Your plans are perfect. But this morning, Lord, we just pray for peace and strength, and endurance for all those that need to endure. We thank you that they are able to endure because you are with them. Father, bless them abundantly, Lord, as we are in this service this morning as Donnie Anandi to take over and continue through this service as we break bread together. Come Holy Spirit. We thank you for this morning. In Jesus name. Welcome, Donnie welcome, Andy continued, brothers, as we are led in prayer this morning through the power of the Word of God. We bless everyone this morning that's joining us that's jumping online, God bless you done.
Donny Stockburn:Then was painful strengthening, and God's given me that same word, but strengthening for an increase in faith. And that's specifically for faith. Today, you're going to pray for faith today. And I want to start in Colossians, one first 24. down to a low, I'll tell you when I finished that 29 Okay, this is Paul and his letter to the church in quasi. And this is his message. It says, I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh, what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of his body, which is the church, of which I have become a minister, according to the stewardship from God, which was given to me for you, to fulfill the Word of God. The mystery, which has been hidden from all ages, and from all generations, this is the plan of God, the fulfillment of the planet, God is speaking about you. Yes, hello. All generations, but now has been revealed to his science that's us. To them, God will to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is us and non Jews. A whole world the mystery that God had planned and was released by porn and into the church is is was down in Christ in you. Amen. Christ in you is the fulfillment of God's plan on this earth. Christ in us. Just want to briefly if I can tell you a little story, you gardeners out there, get a larva this early in the summer I grew about it seeds or so of sunflowers, put them out of front for the kids who go by my ass go to school for a bit of fun, but I kept some back for myself, not tall ones. And first at this summit foolishly no gardener would do. I'll put these sunflower seeds in pots, big pots, really big pots. And one of them. Now I've been measuring almost every day, it was up to edging towards seven and a half eight feet, and couldn't wait to take some photos of it and everything else. And yesterday evening, there was a little bit more than the summer. Lovely summer wind gusts it up a bit. And what did I find? I found my big sunflower light boys that I've been waiting for. fallen over and stepped almost in tow. And have sort of rescued but the lesson I learned was, I couldn't believe it for all the time I've been doing this. And I didn't realize the height of this plant and the size of this pot. Mathematics told me a little bit of wind and it would have gone over and it did and made the mistake of going in a place wherever where it got all its food. All its good is all its power all its might to live this life from the earth, or not out of a pot are planted in one place. And the message is there. We must have roots in Jesus. Amen, we must ever have roots in Jesus anywhere else is going to fall. My my plant looked wonderful. above the ground, it looked perfect, like lot of Christian for people to ministers, including in this Yeah, we look wonderful, we played apart, everything's good, while the summer winds are blowing. But when at times, we're living in an era when the wind blows art, and the weapons not predictable. And everything gets tested, it fell over. And its roots were not in the ground, where they should be world goodness comes from. And likewise, if our roots are not in Christ, the same thing will happen. There'll be a full. So my prayer is, Lord, we put our roots in Jesus course. And a lesson to you as it was to me. God told me this quite early in this morning of change everything I had really and and giving this message, our roots, although we may seem we've got it all going, we may do a good deed. And they do listen to that. If our roots are not in Christ, there'll be a fall. The same with a wise man who didn't build his house on the rock. But we understand there'll be a full thought of God arches apply now in Jesus name. I pray that Your boy your beautiful church, Lord, we put our roots deep down into Christ, that we will be in Christ and Christ will be in us. Yes, that was your last prayer, Lord, that we would be in you and you would be in us. And that we would have your joy and what was in you would flow into us. All the strength, all of my all the glory of God. All everything that's in Christ would be us and us in Christ. That's God's plan. Not that we live off the world. And lots of people have got no roots in the world. But above. Above that they look okay. A little small. Summer's here. But when the wind blows, you find out where your roots are. when trouble comes. You find out whether you're in Christ or not. And Lord arches point now, I'm asking God, for strength in faith. I'm asking anybody who's got their roots in the world, thinking or believing that they're in Christ, are by far God, you will transfer them into Jesus, let their roots will go down, that what's in him will be in them, Father God, and when the wind blows, and these stormy days of COVID and lock downs are now Lord, when the wind blows, they won't fall, that what's in you will be in them that love that glory, that peace. Power to live this life, follow God. Lord, our faith will be able to stand in those days. Lord, this is my prayer, that you will increase voice our faith, increase it, Lord, and empower us, Lord, with what's in Jesus to flow in us follow God, just as He is his environment, and we are invited on what's in Him to come into us. Laura asked, our roots will be deep in Jesus. And Lord, you will expose anything that's not like that pot. Lord, I thought I had it all my foolishly, my the roots of that plant was in a pot and not in the earth where all the goodness comes from. Lord, likewise, I pray the elbows will be in Jesus. And this this word that Paul had to deliver Christ in you will be true of everyone following God, that our roots will be in you, Lord, this is my wife. Put off today, Lord, that you will increase our faith that you'll give us five fire to good faith that's in Jesus, Lord, in him alone. And I asked, it's in your known Lord Jesus, amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit. Father, we just bless you this morning Lord just strengthened us Lord in on every level of life, Lord, Lord, and just very quickly before I did brings his the scriptures that God is leading and and he is pressing to Psalm 119. Psalm 119, verse 28, My soul is where we weave sorrow, strength for me according to your word. It is the word and as Donnie was bringing that very interesting and clear understanding what he was saying about faith, we just got to stand upon the rock and how do we stand upon the rock, he puts our feet upon the rock, he is our rock and he puts us on the rock, but keep in the word, keep your eyes on the word. Keep your heart in the word if you feel sorrow this morning if you feel pain if you feel weak this morning, strength It comes from the Living Word or coming home and it comes from the word of God. You know, Psalm 119. Again, verse 49, says, Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope, my comfort in my suffering, is this your promises, preserve my life. Find his promises ransack the Word of God. Get the scripture for your life, read it and read it and read it, put it on your ears, get it, get it on through the sound system of your phone, get it through your tablets, get it through your, your devices, get it through every mean shape, and form. And you know what I mean by Get it through your tablets, you know exactly what I'm saying there. Get it through your electronic devices, get it through the sound system to get it through the Alexus. Get it through every platform that you can get it but get the word of God ringing in your house, get the word of God, allowed in your heart, it says, Remember your word to your servant. I have to remember that I am a servant, and I am a son of the living God. And His Word gives us hope is what gives us strength. His Word gives us comfort. His word is our stability. His word is everything that we need. And Andy, Good Morning,
Andy Hammond:Morning. Good morning.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Good morning, my brother.
Andy Hammond:My thoughts this morning really go to our relationship with with Jesus. And it all depends on our relationship with Jesus. And Psalm 91. In verse 14 says, Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him. I will protect him. For he acknowledges my name. acknowledging your relationship with Jesus is quite often difficult. It can be difficult to say, Yeah, I'm a follower of Jesus. But because we love Jesus, we love God through Jesus. Then it says here in Psalm 91, I will rescue him. Thank you for and often we have to put him first and that's difficult. We can be rebuffed by that. We can be laughed at we can be sneered at. But if we make that stand out, we can go deeper with Jesus. And that is so so important. And Psalm 93. Talks about relationships, The Lord reigns, he's robed in majesty. The Lord is roped in majesty, and is armed with strength. Amen. Well established it cannot be moved. The Lord on high is mighty, your statute stand firm. Holiness adorns your house for endless days. Oh, Lord. That's something that we can stand on. We can rely on, particularly in these difficult times and days where you're slowing, everything seems unstable. So God is firm and and he is a rock. That's who we build our foundation. He is a rock. And again, I mentioned that it's about our relationship with with Jesus. I had this first two Chronicles 714 It's quite well known. If my people who are called by my name will humble and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their Lown further and so again, that's our relationship with Him, we have to come before the Father. And if we know in our hearts that we haven't been quite right in our relationships, we can come before him confess our sins He will forgive them. And if we are humble and do that That's a word says, He will forgive us our sins. We can come before Him, and He will heal us. This morning, I woke up with another song. On my mind. I didn't really know what it said. But I just had the number Psalm 53. Jesus, and which is quite relevant in this day of ours. So it says in Psalm 53, the fool says in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt and their ways of vile there is no one who does good. God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand any who seek God. Everyone has turned away. I have to gather together become corrupt, there is no one who does good, not even one. Will they learn? Will they learn? Oh, Lord, the fool says there is no God. Well, I don't need to explain that at all. I just felt I had to say that this morning.
Donny Stockburn:Amen.
Andy Hammond:Father, God, we come before you.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Yes, this morning.
Andy Hammond:Father, we pray for our nation. We pray for our politicians. We pray for our prime minister, the next prime minister, whoever that may be, we pray that you will intervene in their lives. Yes. Amen. That you will come by your spirit. Yes, Father. We ask. We've already pray, Father, for your spirit to come. We pray now that you will come and fill this room where we're sitting seated this morning, that you will inspire us that you will fill us with your power. With your prophetic voice today. Yes, we can speak Your Holy Spirit over the airwaves now that we pray Father that people will turn back to you that they will hear your voice. And as it says in to chronicle seven if people will humble themselves and pray. Thank you, Jesus, we pray that now over our nation, over all those who are listening today, that we will come humbly before you and strengthen us we pray, help us to make a stand for you. Amen. Help us to proclaim who you are, hallelujah. Help us to give witness to what you do in our lives. That we can declare now that you are God, that you are our Creator, that You sent Your Son Jesus into the world so that we could have salvation. And Father we declare now that Jesus is the way he is the way and we just give thanks that we've come into relationship with. As your Word says, I am the Way the Truth and the Life No one comes to the Father, except by you. We declare that now Father, Jesus name,
Unknown:amen. Amen. Amen.
Donny Stockburn:Hallelujah crutches. Dad has a lovely word in there that that scripture that Andy just gave the full says isn't in what? In his mind? No, in his heart, says it in his heart, his heart, in the Bible is everything. Your soul, your mind, your spirit and your body. He says it in all things right though. There is no god the fall says things like that. And I'd love to know what Scripture means. Those who say it with their spirit with their heart, Lord and Father God, will you just lift this up to you today? This word, Lord, that we, as Paul said, it become a minister of Lord, as we ministered this word of truth. follow God, Lord, that you will you will make sure that it goes into their hearts Father God, Yes, Lord, into the hearts of people, into their souls, into their spirits into their roots into their foundations Father God, Amen. We pray for this Lord. This is what we ask the Lord, our roots. Our faith will be in Jesus, and he will be in us Lord POTUS, thank you, Father, God that you've made, the way you've made it possible for this to happen, Lord, that our roots can be taken out of this world that is passing away and put into the eternal love of Christ, our roots, were all our goodness, and all our food, spiritual food that is coming from that will feed us, and nourish us, and help us to grow. And to be like Jesus. All these things are made possible because of this, this blood and that we will be celebrating soon, and the body of Christ and we just thank you for it, Lord, just give it a glory as we sit in this your house of prayer, Father God, and ask for these things asked for strengthening of the faith in people in your people in your church in your beautiful boy. We asked for strengthening Lord, who asked for no five. We ask you, anyone who's who thinks, boots have in Christ, Lord, but are not. We asked you to transfer him out of the world into Jesus, like this word says that they will be saved. Oh Lord, we ask that you will come and minister this word today. Light across the earth. In Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Thank you.
Andy Hammond:I believe that. The church, that is all of us, who are followers of Jesus and are expecting a revival. And I think that is going to be imminent. I believe that is so we need as church as followers of Jesus to pray for that revival, to pray for a great outpouring of his spiritual when the Word of God will just flow and be powerful. And I just this morning, turn to that scripture in Nehemiah, when the people of God were rebuilding the city walls of Jerusalem, and then that had been completely destroyed and knocked down. And Nehemiah stood up and said, Don't be afraid of them. Remember, this is to the opposition. Don't be afraid. Remember the Lord who is great and awesome. Some fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes. That's a command to us today. Scripture is is so relevant, even though this was spoken to Israel, but it's spoken to us today as well. That we need to fight. Yeah, we need to fight for our brothers, our sons and our daughters. We need to cover them. We need to cover them in prayer. We need to be strong in what we say and what we do, and be expected that God will be raising up more followers of Jesus, amen. And we pray, Father God, for your great outpouring of your spirit is on us today. Give us strength, give us words to say give us the willpower father to continue in this work. We we need your strength we need your Spirit. Holy Spirit we pray, Come Holy Spirit. Fill us again with your strength with that great outpouring so that we can give the message to you are savior, you are king, you are alone. Amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Sisters and brothers. God is moving in your life. God is moving clearly in your life. Hold on to the Word of God, just just rest in Christ and we're coming to the table. We're going to break bread together for these next five minutes or so. So and wherever you are joining us around the table, redemption, redemption, redemption, we are saved. We are children of the living God, our mind our thinking capacity and our thoughts tries to pull us down but nothing can pull us down because your name is stamped in the Lamb's book of life. You belong to Jesus, you belong to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. And as we pray for one another, as we stand on the Word to God for one another as Christ puts our feet upon the rock, hold that position, you know build upon the rock not on the sand. The world is just fastly disappearing, extremely accelerating. We're coming to the table. Donnie and Andy are going to take us to this last part of this service for these couple of moments. So grab yourself some bread and some grape juice and whatever that may be that you have around you at this moment in time, as it just seemed, is very symbolic to what we are about to do. So wherever you are, please join us as we just come to this part of the service.
Andy Hammond:Yeah. Thank you, Father, for who you are, that we remember your Son, Jesus, who came into the world with that specific mission, to die for each one of us so that we could have life. And I just want to read from Psalm 32, this morning, blessing is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Another translation of that word covered is expunged from the record. surgeries are just wiped from the record, which means that they were never there. And or blotted out isn't another way of saying that, whose sins are covered blesses is the man whose sin, the law does not count against him. And whose spirit is noticing. When I kept silent, my bones wasted away, though my groaning all day long for day and night, Your hand was heavy upon me, my strength was sapped, as in the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to You, and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and you forgave my a guilt of my sin. So Father, we just thank you, and we come before you, and we take this spread, as a remembrance of your body broken for each one of us. Amen.
Donny Stockburn:Amen. Yeah, I just want to read to you from Ephesians three, from verse 14, down to 19. And it's Paul again, he's in prison, and he's right into the church in Ephesus. And he says, this is it this prayer is the same prayer that we've been playing now. And he says this, For this reason, our bow my knees, so the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family of heaven and earth is nine, that he would gone you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened, as the word force Lord, with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the signs, what is the width, and the length and the depth and the height, to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge that you may be filled with the fullness of God. That's our prayer. That's our prayer, Lord, that we can be filled with knowledge of God, that we can be filled Raleigh's goodness, that we can have access through faith, to all the gifts that God can give us. All this instead of our sinful lives, all made possible by this blood, which is Thank You, Lord, how can we find a word for such a gift, but Lord, who would do our best? We say, The Lord, thank You.
