Good morning. God bless you. Thank you so much for joining us for coffee and prayer. We're a little bit late this morning, as you join us on this broadcast, wherever you are, across this world at this moment in time, may the hand of God be on you. And never give up. Never give up. There is always hope. We pray that wherever you are in this morning, God's love will surround you today. And you will feel the very presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. And you will just find peace and rest for your bodies and your mind. And whatever you are going through, just hold on tight to the Word of God, we are living in very challenging times. We're living in times when we are being stretched on every level of life in every area every way in shape and form. And I pray right now, as Glen and myself and brother dawning this morning, just gather for coffee and prayer and years away today. And we just ask that God will just touch all of our lives and our families and our friends in the wider communities, work colleagues, friends, brothers, sisters, the church. So wherever you are. I pray that God will give you peace in your circumstances today. And we're going to go straight to the Gospel of John Chapter 14, verse one, do not let your hearts be troubled. Wherever you are today, I pray that whatever you are going through, you will hold on to the Word of God. And you will feel His love and His goodness and His presence. Whatever you may be facing as a mortal human being, I pray that you will see the goodness of God. But in your work life, in your home life, in your relationships with your family, your friends, whoever you are walking with today, I pray that you will find peace, I pray that you will find complete peace and complete rest in Christ Jesus, that you will just find that space and just call out to God and just say, Father, I thank you that Your love is unconditional. Life is very fleeting. Life can be very precarious. And whatever you are doing today, us three here are going to break bread together very very soon. And whatever your eyes are looking at today, however you are feeling in your innermost being, do not allow the world and the system and pressures of life to get hold of you. So John 14, verse one, do not let your heart be traveled, believe in God, but also believe in me. And then if he was to turn to verse 27 of John chapter 14 Peace I leave you my peace I give you I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled. And do not be afraid. Are you afraid this morning? Are you troubled this morning? Are you stressed this morning I pray that the presence of the Holy God that we serve the God of Israel, the King of kings and the Lord of Lords will give you stability like you never know before. Even though you go through the valley of the shadow of that for you know we are looking at a government that is as lost as never been lost before we I'm lost. I'm actually lost for words, believe it or not, of what we are seeing in front of our very eyes what's happening but he's biblical. It is it is very biblical times now yeah, there's almost been a quiet time that we've been through almost that that stage of like a tsunami where where the sea is drawn out on has been such a stillness for so long, but suddenly now you can hear the roar coming to the shoreline. Let me tell you this. If you are a believer, thank God. If you're just dropped onto the socials, just by pure chance, it's not by pure chance God is calling you. If you call yourself an atheist, I will guarantee you in the next few weeks you'll be calling the name of Jesus. We are about to experience and to go into some unusual turbulence. There has been a storm brewing for so long. The wave is almost touching the shoreline. And I pray that you will find strength in the Word of God. We are seeing family breakdowns, we're seeing business breakdowns, we're seeing governments break down we're seeing systems we're seeing healthcare breakdown, we're seeing the finance markets break down everything is being broken down lots of areas, lots of areas of life are being broken down. You know see Things are happening that we never thought that we would see things are happening that we never thought we'd hear. And it's coming like a torrent it is coming at a pace that the human being will not be able to survive unless, unless you're in the king. You got to be in the king. You got to be in the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And wherever you are this morning, this scripture is for you, peace be with you. You know, God is our rescuer. God is your shield. And I pray that wherever you are to that whatever you are experiencing, across this earth and wherever you are joining us at 947 here, as we livestream this broadcast, Peace be with you. And Jesus says in verse 27, Peace I leave you my peace I give you, I do not give you as the world gives. What is the world given us this morning? It has given us serious drama. What is the world given us? It has given us a right drama. It is it is up to everything. There is so much chaos before our very eyes. Do you feel very unstable? Do you feel shaky? Do you feel lost? Do you feel worried? Do you feel doubtful? Do you feel that this this wave, this tsunami wave is going to crash down and almost engulf you and sweep your way? Well, God has you. There are lots of circumstances that are breaking out. We've had the incident over the last few days of those guys that are use that word, guys, protesters, and they gotta be very careful doing what they done, causing what they've caused. The ricochet effect, the aftermath. What's gone on there. You've got governments, you've got people losing money and losing their businesses because of the actions of others. Things happening in certain places. We've got the church almost gone in hiding. I think the church works for the saps I think it's disappeared. I don't know if it exists anymore. Where where is there anybody there anybody in the church? Hello, we need leaders. We need this is prayer for this morning, believe it or not, Lord, we need leaders. We need spiritual leaders that will stand up for Jesus Christ. Lord, please go first. Breathe down a spine of this nation. Father, bring your holy glory. Bring your holy powers Father, Father, in the name of Jesus, we are lost as a nation. Father in prayer in very respectful prayer this morning, Lord, I pray for all those that filled last Lord that just fill out Lord light as as we've been talking for such a while now, through the Scripture of Acts where Paul that Vetterli was on it broke it broke into it snapped on the soundbar and Lord that is where we are this nation is broke into the wave is crashing against the vessel. And Lord, I feel that we've almost got to swim for our lives. We're almost swimming or we're grabbing DeBary just as survive. We're grabbing bits of wood that is floating load that we see the dry landlord we see what is on the shoreline. But Lord sometimes it feels that I can never get to the shoreline. I'm always swimming a lot of filth, we feel like that salmon going upstream, can't get near the edge because of the wildlife or grab it. I got it the salmon that has to go home the salmon that has to swim upstream, just going upstream all the time, just just going against the tide, that you feel like that today that you're swimming, you're trying to get home that Eric should be because the tide of the world. Jesus said, This is what Jesus said we're looking in the scripture it says peace I give you So Christ has given us peace but he's telling us in two different formats Peace I leave you. So there's you can put it like this. He deposits peace, I leave you peace and then also says My peace I give you so there is a leaving and there is a given a complete covering with peace, whatever you are going for if you've lost a family member, I pray that you will find rest. If you are in trouble at work, I pray that you will find rest. If you are alone, parent, whatever you are going through if you're in a marriage that is hajus I pray that you find peace. There are so many different scenarios we can look at this morning through prayer Lord, and Lord. The word that we're looking for is this nation needs pace. Father, we pray for this government law breve over this government, Lord, we need leaders, Lord, and as the church going asleep Jesus, can you help me out on this one Please, Lord this morning, because Lord, I need to see these leaders standing up for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lord, we need the blood preach Sunday after Sunday law we need the fire of God in the churches. Lord, we need the power of the Holy Spirit love we pray for the churches that are on the front line. Then front missional churches that are in the communities feeding water and nurturing given the Word of God giving tracks out we thank you for those that are on the streets given that given the tracks out. We thank You Father God for the event. You're less than or out preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. But Lord, we need to hear the Word of God in the church of father. Where is the church? I see on the social networks. But I don't see it father, preaching the gospel. Lord, is it me? Lord, am I in a church that's labeled One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest because it's a little bit crackers. I need your help today. Jesus, we're being absolutely on the baton today, Lord, Father, Lord, you know me, Jesus, you know, a little bit. We're in a little bit worried sometimes a lot and But Lord, you know, our hearts, the Lord this morning, the church is probably in more trouble than it's ever been. Because it doesn't have peace because it's taken of what the world is given it. Jesus says, Peace I leave you peace I give you church on being extremely respectful, extremely respectful. Have we got blood on our hands? The preaching and the teaching? Has it been on Jesus Christ? Very prayerfully. There is a lot happening in this nation. There is a lot happening in the church needs to take hold of God's Word. Repent. So Lord, I repent of my ways. I repent of my life. I repent of my thinking, I repent of my head. I repent of my heart, I bring everything I've got to the table, and I put it on the table. But Lord, then I asked your father, can you take it to the cross because sometimes I'm frightened to go to the cross. And I'm frightened to go to the cross law because I'm frightened. I might burn up Lord. But Lord, by Your grace and Your mercy in your goodness, Let peace abound today, Lord, let your love and your mercy and Your goodness and Your presence Father, wash over this nation, Lord, we need leadership in government. Lord, we need leadership in churches, we need the and I thank you for those that are standing up this morning, Lord, I thank you for those that are standing up for the gospel. I thank you for those that are preaching, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John revelation, all the way back through to Genesis I thank you for the preachers that are preaching and the true teachers are the Word of God, I thank you for the churches that are singing praises to God and not to any other man or woman that wrote the song. Father, we pray that this nation will rise Lord, rise, Lord law on wings as of eagles, Lord, but where is the church? Jesus, I'm asking you because I'm not getting any answers, Lord from anywhere else, because I know you will take me to the truth. You will show me through Scripture. You will show me Lord what I say Lord, is a Tiktok church. What I say Father is a Facebook church. What I say Father, God is an Instagram church. What I say Father is a social church. Pushing Social Justice when actually father is going to push the gospel first. Because everything else comes after this. preach and teach. Pray, worship. Come Holy Spirit, Lord, this is a time father. When we really need the fire of God on Glenn on me on Donnie Anandi on every one of us the Lord every one of us needs your glory like never before. Lord, Come Holy Spirit. But where is the church? is no good. Tell me on the socials. We are the church is no good. Tell me that. It needs to be preached. It needs to be on the street corners. It's easy to put it on. And it's easy to text it but actually to live it to stand for it to come against the tide of the world. That is the difference is easy when we're together on a Sunday for a few hours. The just shall live by faith. God help me Lord. I thank you for those that are preaching the gospel. I thank you for the Christians that are out there that are living by the word I thank you for those that are delivering the word. But Lord, the the religious mob. Father in the name of Jesus, Come Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit. Send your fire god send your fire alone. Send your fire across this nation father purge businesses purge education, purge law God purge the corporate world. Father, the church, the Body of Christ. Lord, I thank you that I belong to the body of Christ. Because that's how I put myself I belong to a body movement. I belong to the kingdom. I belong to the body movements of father. I pray Lord for that church because that label is massive. It's massive. It's like opening up a can of Heinz beans, loads of beans in it all Cobain's hundreds of beans in all different shapes and sizes just because it's got beans on the can don't mean to say it's gonna operate like a bean on the inside. So far in the night Jesus, there's hundreds of beans. There's hundreds of beans father. And they look the same. Father, if if you got if you go to the supermarket, just take that a can of beans for a minute or a little bit wacky this morning. But if you've got all the labels on all the beans across the nation, you open them up. They taste different, they smell different, but they're still called beans. So there's lots of labels on buildings I will say that says church. Now the Scripture the Scripture says about the disciples. They was disciples. They looked like disciples they smelled like disciples. But when their back was against the wall one went fishing one sold him for 30 pieces of silver or God we need help but loads start with me start with a strip me back if I've got this wrong. Who will bring me into what I've got to be into right Lord, if I've got anything wrong, turn me to the to the right viewpoint, turn me to the right scripture. Wherever I'm failing whatever I've got wrong now, Lord, help me in the name of Jesus. But Father, thank You for this time. Thank you, Lord, for the Scripture. Peace. I love you. And I pray for anyone that is looking at the political agenda, the political world, the finance markets, the business markets, the elite markets, if you're looking into the world, you will not have peace. But even when you follow Jesus, even when you are a Bible believing believer, fear runs in your bone somedays fear runs in your bones, faith and fear you just got look at the disciples, but today, today is a new day. Today is a new day. And God is with us and He will never leave us nor forsake us. But as I read this one more time, and my my lovely brothers, they're going to continue this prayer time for John chapter 14. Do not let your hearts be traveled, believe in God believe also in May. John 14, verse 27, Peace I leave you my peace I give you, I do not give you as the world gives. An opposite. So whatever Jews Jesus is doing, the church needs to do opposite to the church. We can work that one out. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled. And do not be afraid. Don't be troubled. And don't be afraid brothers and sisters. God is with you. We are blessed even in the darkest hardest moment. But I honestly believe we need to really stand up. It's not about getting my life, right? Because I can't get my life. Right. When I mean stand up. I mean, literally stand up for what I believe in. There's a difference between believing in it, and living in it all have sinned and fallen short of the glory. So I'm always gonna have the sinful challenges that that's a given. But now, as believers at the end time harvest, we are expected to stand up. Do you believe? Or don't you believe a man or you're a follower? See, when you follow mistakes still happen? When you believe mistakes in life still happen. When you worship and praise thinking still happens. So now this is not about oh Lord, help me to this is literally we are living in times as believers that have got to take the word from Genesis to Revelation and say, God, I believe, I believe because there's a wave. There's a wave. When this wave hits. There's another one after it. It's time church, Body of Christ. To get deep in Christ, in Jesus. God bless every one of you. This is the day that the Lord has made we shall rejoice and be glad. Amen. Glen, my brother, Donnie, my brother, you can lead us in bread and wine and do what you're gonna do and be led by the Holy Spirit.
Glenn Walsh:I remember in the 80s there was a prophetic word God gave across this nation and it was me back my church. Come on. I remember that one. Yeah, they were saying give me back my church. I believe God's saying now I'm taking God's taking his church. He's take you are right. And I had a picture of you've probably all been in this scenario. You on the beach, you put your towel down, you come back and your towel is covered in sand. So what do you do? You pick your towel up and you shake it? You shake it and the wind and everything else takes that sand and sweeps it off in your town? Yeah. I believe that's what God's doing. He's taken back his church and anything that's built on it out of sand, you'll be blown away. God because Jesus said, I will build my church. Thank you Father, can even the gates of hell cannot stand against Yes, Lord, I love it. You know, it's aggressive. Jesus said, I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail. They will not stand against it. Yeah, he's building his church, and we align ourselves with him. It's not ours. Two Corinthians four, verse seven. If you're feeling fragile, this is for you. This for me. But we have this treasure in jars of clay. Thank you. So we're here to show you the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. It's not our kingdoms. It's his. And we've got the privilege and the grace to be his people were saved by faith through faith and even that was a gift. It's by grace. We're saying, Yeah, but this is what Paul goes on to say in verse eight. We are afflicted in every way. Feel like that? Yeah. Where's your peace? Your turn round and you realize that the person tapping on your shoulder is putting another sword in your life? We have afflicted in every way but not crushed. Yeah. perplexed, ever been confused? ever stood there and thought I'm so perplexed. I don't know what's going on. But even they're perplexed but not driven to despair. persecuted but not forsaken. Struck down. Ever felt like that. How am I gonna? How am I going to rise again, but we do. Struck down but not destroyed. Always carrying in the body, the death of Jesus, amen. So there's the life of Jesus may also be manifest in our bodies. Yes. So we who live are always being given over to death isn't life so fragile? Isn't it you've read those calls and you think and and we've got but we who live always been given over to death for Jesus sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifest in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us your life when you come to verse 16. So we do not lose heart, though our outer self is wasting away quite get that every morning when I look in the mirror. Inner Self come on cites outer self is wasting away. But our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light moment truly affliction. This is Paul talking. Look at the things he went through in prison more than twice shipwrecked more than twice beaten, flocked, stoned, left for date. Yeah, this momentary affliction is preparing us or preparing for us an eternal weight of glory. beyond comparison, yes. In other words, he doesn't even find it worth comparing the short window of affliction, the short window of suffering compared to where we'll be so privileged brothers and sisters to be alive in these days and in these times, don't cling on to your life as though it's something precious, for we're given over for eternity, as we look not for the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient passing away here. Yeah. But the things that are unseen are eternal. Jesus, I want to thank you for saving us. I want to thank you, Lord, that bless it is the person who sins and transgressions will never count against them. Thank you, Lord, it's because of your blood. Thank you, Lord. It's because of your sacrifice. You paid the price that we deserved. You took it, you've paid it in full, where yours were secure in You. And Lord, this is a painful world to live in. We all go through so much so often. But your kingdoms within us. Yes, Lord, Your peace is within us. The storms all around us, Lord, all that can be shaken will be shaken. Amen. But your kingdom is unshakable. Yes, thank you, Jesus, for that security we have in you. So many empires have come and gone blown away like CEF. Lord, when we look at the graveyards, we know that is our inheritance for these bodies. Yes, we're fleeting, here for such a short time. Come home with you eternally. Yes, thank you, Lord. Thank You, Lord, for Your Grace, for your mercy and for this gospel of truth. Lord, we stand for you. And we do stand up for you. Lords, your kingdom come. Build your church. Build your church, Jesus in this nation in Britain. Would you shake the sand that's been built on your church and blow it away like Jeff, come on and build your kingdom? On your word, purchase by your blood, and that alone.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Amen. Thank you. Yeah.
Donny Stockburn:When we, when we get out on the street sometimes one of the most common questions we get is, why a God of love? Why does he allow this? Why does he allow that? What is these terrible things go on in his world? Well, the answer is quite obvious, really. Because God does not live in this world. Because of sin, God does not live in this world, but he will come and live in you. That's the message. That's the message Jesus bought. And when we get saved, when we get born again, when Jesus comes to live in our life, everything changes, absolutely everything. And we begin a journey. They are in John Five, Verse 24. It says, our eternal life begins now, right now. Right now, we're not waiting for Christ, hallelujah gun, we want more journey. And that journey for me is perfectly described in that beautiful psalm 23, I just want to go down it a little bit entitled to some more scriptures, to establish who we are in Christ, and go to Psalm 23. there and it says, He will make me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the stall as he restores me, He leads me in the paths of righteousness, I will fear no evil for you all with me. You prepare these things for me. And then right at the end, this is verse six that are really going on now today. It said, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. How did we get there? Added we get to that place where we will dwell with God forever. Is it been good, well behaved little shape on the journey. Now. His Christ, the mercy of God got us there. Jesus gets us there. It's not down to our works and efforts in this life. It's down to the grace and mercy of found us. And there we have it now. Now we live under grace and mercy, our just want to take you into Romans six, verse 14, and it says, for sins shall not have dominion over you. And that lovely, love that one. You are not under law. But under Christ, common law, we live under Grace now. It's not down to our works in our efforts, yes, of anything like that. It's we live under grace and mercy. Because Christ fulfilled the law for us. We could never do. By working our demo yard we were, we could never fulfill the law of God. So Christ did it for us, he removed all the sin for us. So now, we live under grace and mercy, all the time, not some of the time, but forever and ever and ever. And now, just one more scripture to take you right back here to Ephesians. One, verse 13. And it's something that really did a great deal in my life, to to confirm this salvation that God is talking about, and this perfect salvation, this plan of God was downloaded into us. And I just want to read it now. It says, In Him, you also trusted, after you word, the word of truth. The Gospel having believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, God has put His Spirit in us. Thank you, Jesus, His Spirit in us. Yes, Lord. And he says, this is the guarantee, or guarantee, this is the makers guarantee, God made this plan. That's a divine plan is a perfect plan. And God made it and he said, I'm gonna go and say it. I'm going to put my spirit in you. Out of you will come works for me. All the food of God's Spirit will be showing in our lives. If Christ is in you to cook can't fall. That's the message. I guarantee. Yes, Lord is salvation to you, Don, Ben, Glen, whoever's listening. God guarantees the salvation. Once you aside once you're born again, once you believe you step into Christ and mercy is no longer down to our heart. We will our batch we push this Christ and mercy is forever. It says there in 23rd Psalm. It says, I will dwell in the house and rule forever. If God didn't mean that. Why did he write it? It means business God does He means our salvation to be a last in one, not to be under, like a kind of test all the time. If you're good enough you can come into heaven. But if you have a bad day, you're out. It's not anything other than grace and mercy, Father God, which is pray now in Jesus name, we will recognize this truth. Lord, you have bought us under grace and mercy, your love, it's your work in us, Lord, that brings us into your kingdom, Father, God, all we do is come to you, and you do everything else. Lordy, all these works. All these works we hear about disciples did that was all your Spirit at work in him, a Father God, we get the same, we get the same spirit as I did. And so in these days, Father, we pray now in Jesus name, that you will clear the decks once a fall in our lives, that we have salvation, and it's guaranteed by God by him putting his Spirit in us. And now we live under the grace and mercy of God, forever and ever and ever. And it's guaranteed. You've read the scriptures along with my father God beat his praise and worship You, Lord, the all those who love you all those who believe you all those who are born again, are saved forever. There is no question of salvation. Lord, you have guaranteed by putting your spirit in us. And now we now think is one John. One John 518. It says, anyone born again, will not continue to sin, her, not any works of us, but God, God in us, God's Spirit at work in us. Father, we thank you for letting now. That is done. It's finished it when Jesus said, It is finished, it is finished, Father God, this is a finished work, a plan of God, that he is guaranteed to us. And we to thank for your grace and mercy now, in Jesus name, Lord, amen.

This word is very relevant. Peace be with you. Everything that our brothers have brought to the table today is very relevant for where we sit, as human beings. As brothers and sisters, the Bible talks about humanity. We are human, we are mortal, as I believe it says in the book of Job Job chapter 14, I believe are left to check that we are mere mortals, mere mortals birthed from the womb, but by Christ, we've been saved. We've been created by the King of kings and the Lord of lords, the God of Israel, we have been created by the creator, you are not here because of chance you are not here because of an accident. You are here because of the plan of God. You are here because he loves you. You are here. Because of the the Scripture tells us so before the very foundation of the world. I know you. He knows you. He knows you. He knows you. He created you and He loves you. Come on brothers and sisters. Let's stand up for what we believe in. I believe, I believe from Genesis to Revelation. And this is a time where the church needs to take hold of the Word of God and say, Yes, God, I believe in the scriptures. Lord, I'm not wrestling with what you said. What you said, I believe. I'm not going to another conference to debate it for another three weeks. I'm not going to sit down and listen to some articulate person trying to persuade me different to what the scripture says. I'm not going to come under an ethics conference again. I'm not going to come under a political agenda wrapped up in Christian speech, Lord, I believe in the word and whatever your word says. is a given. Done. So Father, I pray that we will not wrestle with From denomination to domination sign, we got it right you got it wrong. But Lord, I will just concentrate on me because, Lord, I've got the Amazon rainforest growing in my eye and the Scripture says, Your brother's got a speck. You got a plank, Ben, deal with it. So Lord deal with me. I've got a forest growing a lot, and it's rapidly increasing. So Lord, help me strip me back. Lord, fill me with Your goodness and Your love and Your mercy, Lord, remove any selfishness I've got, if I'm arrogant, remove the arrogance. If I'm prideful, remove the pride. Lord, if I'm weary, removed the weariness if I'm tired, remove the tiredness, Lord, all this stuff, Father, God that is going on within me. That is the opposite to the word, remove it. And fill me more with You. And Lord, as my two brothers bring us to the table today, Lord, as we come to the cross as we come to the cross of Calvary, what a beautiful place to find ourselves. We might be saying, well, I'm driving, I can't get to a cross. I'm working I can't get to the cross. It's right for you for a you got the cross in there in the in the studio that you're in. Yeah, but you've got the cross. Just think about the cross a moment. Just think about the working not because of the symbolism of it. But what happened at the cross. What happened at the cross, Jesus said it is finished. And then we walked, we walked into a new covenant we he actually we was drawn into we were brought into. So this is this is for all of us today. Let's just think about the cross. And what the cross leads us to think into more Christ was given for you and for me, he carries our worries, our iniquities our transgressions. We're now to the cross of Calvary. Isn't it interesting that before he would before anyone could obviously be now the now has to go through so the now had to go through him. Oh, Lord, it's deep, isn't it? It was the crucifixion it was the nowt. The penetrate into the skin, the crushing of the bone, everything that went on the cross. One now to now it's free now. We're saved, we're washed, we're cleansed in the blood brothers are going to lead us as we, as we bring this, you know, we're 42 minutes in, we still got a decent bit of time. It's okay. So I would urge you, they're going to reckon a couple of minutes, you got a chance to grab yourself some bread and some wine, you know a bit of a bit of bread, Wherever you are at work, whatever you're doing, do not hesitate, do never do not ever hesitate to take this bread and wine, because I will never be worthy of doing this by my own accord. That's what repentance is, Lord, I repent. So I'm bringing everything to the foot across this morning, my thinking my attitude. My all my ways, Lord. All my ways, all my thinking, all my understanding, all my speech, all my action, or everything, I've been to the cross, and I leave at the foot
Donny Stockburn:of the cross, finished.
Reverend Ben Cooper:And I just do that through my thinking I do that, through that. That visionary position on my mind, I do that I present myself internally, you know, wherever you are, we can do this wherever we are in a plane, in the car, at the desk, wherever you are, we can do this. As we live our lives, we can do this. Get yourself to the cross. There's a cross within you.
Glenn Walsh:Thanks for the things you kind of covered in that one of them was about to not be unequally yoked. Yeah, you know, again, this is integrante and six, verse 14, Do not be unequally yoked, strong, better, stronger. I was chatting to a minister just a couple of days ago who said he was at this conference Christian conference. And he was encouraged to go and support pride. He said I can't do that. Yeah, it's if you want to go and support that you go and do it, but I'm not going with you. I'm not going with you. Because the Bible tells me something very different and I don't want to be yoked with that. Also I've heard another believer saying all religions are the same. Well he says he's a believer what are called has Christ with beyond below I'll just do a Google search on below I will do it yourself. Look at for lawyer what it means. Yeah, I'm sorry. I follow Jesus. I'm not sorry for that. I'm actually so pleased for them to Lord for giving me revelation of who I'm not Yes, Lord. I don't follow other prophets. I don't follow other religions that actually preach against him. Once they don't mix, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Me. Jesus said, He is my Savior. I'm not yoked to other things, I follow him. He's my Savior. Come on, shake these things off. Because it goes on to say in verse 16, what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living dot Dani was saying that earlier, as God said, I will make my dwelling among them, and walk among them, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore, go out from their midst, and be separate from them, sister, Lord, come on, when we love our enemies, we don't shout them down. We don't go around, gluing ourselves to bridges and causing chaos. We pray for those men persecutors. We love those we turn the other cheek, but we pray for them, because we were once with them. Yeah, we came out from them.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you, Holy Spirit,
Glenn Walsh:but we no longer them. We're free. God says, touch no unclean thing, then I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you. And you shall be my sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty. Since we have these promises, Beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of the body. Those who say it's okay, there's no such thing as sin, get away from them. They do fine with the body, and spirit, those who want to tarnish your spirit by saying all roads lead to God, they do not. There's only one narrow vote leads to God, the rest of them lead to hell. Eternal. Yes. Yes, do not do fire with a body and the spirit bring in holiness to completion in the fear with a god. And Ben mentioned this as well. This is verse 10, two Corinthians seven, verse 10, for godly sorrow. Yeah, depends what interpretation you've got For godly grief, produces a repentance or leads to a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, when godly sorrow produces repentance, that leads to salvation, without regret, thank you, for whereas worldly sorrow leads to death
Donny Stockburn:and wrath of God,
Glenn Walsh:Lord, I want to thank you for your body given for us as we come to Communion. Lord, we're sorry for the lives we lead. We're sorry for the sin that we chose to do. Lord, we repent. And we come to the cross. And we thank You, Lord, that you call us to repent because it leads to low if godly solo produces repentance. We choose to turn away from the things that defile only because we know in you there is salvation. And, Lord, thank You that there is no regret. You do work for God in all things for those who love you, and are called according to your purpose. Thank you, Lord, that you found us and we found you. And we surrender our lives to you in repentance that leads to life in you, and from you. This take the bread together and remember,
Reverend Ben Cooper:thank you, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit. Thank you, father. Thank you, Lord. Yes, Lord, thank you, Jesus.
Donny Stockburn:You have this plan of salvation that God gave us is a perfect plan. God sent us a savior, not a probation officer. Thank goodness. We don't work for it. Just Christ comes into us. And it's finished. And that's the word of God. I just want to read you, somebody that confirms that. It's in John 10. We've read it before verse 27. Onward down, says my sheep, hear my voice. And I know them. And they follow me. Yeah, come on to and I will give to them eternal life and they shall never perish. I want to emphasize that word, I will give to them eternal life. Their salvation is purely from God. Grace and Mercy, no words, verse nine, neither shall anyone be able to snatch them out of My hand. The father, who has given them to me is greater than all and no one is I With a snatch them out of My Father's hand. Is that not clear enough? Why would God say that if he thought isn't true, it's absolutely foolproof the plan of God. Absolutely perfect. God, plan is perfect. And we're in it, and nothing can snatch it out of it. And Lord, its grace and mercy all the way down the line. And we thank you for it. Lord, we thank You for this blood to that opens the doors of heaven to us so that we can go in Father God that nothing can open those doors. Nothing can get us into ever no words, no claims No banging drums, oh, no, this Lola The only thing that gets us into heaven is his blood. It is because it fulfilled the law for us. It took all our sin away, and made us holy and righteous. And Lord, it was no work of ours, but holy a work of yours. On that cost. You said, It is finished. And Lord, and we must know that I pray Father God, that message will go through your church, like a cannonball, Father God, that it's no work of ours. It's purely grace and mercy. Hello, Laura will take hold of it with both ends. And hold on to it. Father, God, as you hold on to us, as you will see us to all the trials and tribulations. All that we go through far to go we assure as we are sitting here in this room, we'll be sitting in heaven with Jesus. Absolutely certain God has guaranteed it. God has spoken word over so many times in his in his scriptures, Lord, that that's where we be. That's our destiny. That's our destination. Why is it because of grace and mercy of God has come on us and Jesus has stepped into our lives. Father, we thank you for the blood of Jesus that has brought us into eternal life. In Jesus name, thank you Father God, amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:washed in the blood of Jesus washed in the Crimson Tide in the in the blood and Lord of Jesus, wherever you are across this beautiful earth this morning. Creation is beyond science. Creation is beyond human understanding creation. When you look out, look out across your windows. Look out across the grass, look out across the fields, look across, look into the sky, look into the heavens above and how God created all things. God is the Creator of heaven on earth. And Christ is with you. So as you look into the splendor of creation into nature, God is in the wind that moves the truth. God commands the wind to go God is in everything. Because God created everything. The Scripture says in Colossians He is before all things and hope all things sorry, exist and consist because of him. He commands the waves to move he commands the son to do what it does. He is stretching out the universe's he's stretching out the marvels of the stars, the galaxies. The scripture says he's stretching it out like a scroll. He's in front of time. Time only moves because he moves. Time only exists because he created time. He's your God. Look out your window, wherever you are. Look into the beauty of creation. And God said let there be light and there was God spoke. And planets came into formation. God commanded and stars appeared out of nowhere. God spoke on the sun rose in the sky for the first time. The moon shone for the first time when he said let there be. God created the fish. Of allseas The birds of all the heirs. He created all things every animal, every create create chia, every fiber every tiny creature that is only seen through the microscope is here because of him. Nothing exists without him. He loves you unconditionally. Then he said, Let's make man in our image He spoke the human into being he drew them from the dust of the earth. You are here because of him. You belong to Him. You will always be his, you will always his. You are a slave to righteousness. You are a child of the living God. And the fire of God is burning in your innermost being. Don't worry about how you feel where your your noggin is that your mind is turning over. Don't worry about all and feelings of all the anxiousness and the worries and the doubts and all the earthly attributes that go with the skin that we walk in. Just remember who you are, you are a son and a daughter, look into the heavens above. Look at the aircraft that fly at 36,000 feet. God is above and beyond. He created all things. Look at the beauty of creation. If you're up the coast, look at the see if you're in your garden. Look at that, wherever you are. He created all things as the book of Colossians says all things exist and consist. Everything is in his hands, he speaks and the Red Sea moves. He's speaks and the Reverend Jordan hold back. He speaks and the world were formed. Jesus said it is finish. And as Jesus spoke, the temple curtain was torn into as Jesus spoke, darkness come across the earth. It is finished. And then there was a change that humanity, the spiritual areas, the layers, the realms reacted, because Jesus said it is finished the world reacted because he said it is finished. It is finished. Satan fought they had him. But then on the third day, the grave clothes were folded up by itself. The angels one at the head and one at the foot said he's not here. He has risen. Why are you looking for the living among the dead? Get out of the cathedrals, get out the boxes. Christ is not living in Dead places. Christ is alive. The angel says he's not here. He has risen God breathed. On interesting, what a powerful word that we follow. beyond human understanding. So wherever you are today, may God bless every one of you as we bring this to a close, I'm gonna ask Glenn if he would bring us to a close today in prayer and the dawn. Have you got any scriptures before we say?
Donny Stockburn:Yeah, I've got lots lot of love is knowing that my salvation is down to my performance. I can remember when I was a young Christian, I think I've said this before maybe that I was driving along one day down at down to this country line. And I was thinking about God and what was going on in my life. And I suddenly thought, What a poor representation was of God, as I drove down now all the things I've been doing wrong and you know, no, I hadn't changed much and everything else. And suddenly, it come on me I thought is what is this about? What is this salvation about? If is it mean? If I'm a bad person one week, if I'm not doing the stuff one week, then I mean ill. And if I'm doing good stuff, I mean, Evan, Lord, you can't be that it must be something else. And God reassured me they are actually stopped the corner, a little over the steering wheel, sort of hugging it. And it's got it's got can't be like this. He reassured me that day. It's nothing to do with my performance. It says love is grace is mercy. And ever since then, I've been trying to grasp this love of God. Our great is our merciful is that he saw my sins. He saw my sins left Evans, pay the debt, so I could be with Him forever, even in that condition. I've been trying hard to grasp that love, I still haven't made it. Foolishly, compared it to a love of my loved ones, my mum and dad, my sisters, brothers, my wife even were children. Lord, they all love me deeply, but nothing, absolutely nothing can compare to the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus is our Savior. And he came in to do that one thing to make sure and so We would be in Heaven with Him. And I've just got this scripture it says, this is the will of the Father who sent me that all he has given to me, I should lose nothing, I should lose none of them, but should realize him up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent me that everyone who sees the sun and believes in Him may have eternal life. Thank everlasting Thank you though, and I will light him up at the last day. That is a promise of God. words come out of the mouth of Jesus. And Lord, we just thank you for and Father God, we just pray, Lord, that we will stand faster than knowing that your promises are shown certain. Lord, we will build our lives on them like on that rock falling God, that we will down sinking down, Lord will sing a new song there. And Farrakhan which is give you thanks and praise now, that is finished. You did it Lord. Jesus did it all. He is our Savior. He is our Redeemer. And we thank you for in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Thank you,
Glenn Walsh:Father. So in closing, Lord, we thank you, there's dollies just read and other translation is my desire is that you be where I am. Yeah. Lord, I want to thank you that we know your desire, the desire of your heart is us. Lord, that you so loved the world you came. And we want to thank you for your promise that Your Word is true. Yes. And your Word says that you are with us. Always. Amen. To the very end, until we see you face to face. So pray for everyone listening now everyone who will listen for our sat in this room, Lord, that we will know your abiding presence with us. That whatever we go through whatever we face, whatever mountains we have to climb, whatever valleys we walked through, that you are with us. Never will you leave us and never will you forsake us. And that confidence is this slot that you who began this work in us is the one who brings it to completion. Thank you, Jesus. Our faith is in you know in ourselves.
