Good morning. Yeah, it is morning it is the midnight hour, wherever you are at this moment in time, whatever your timezone is across the earth, may God bless you and strengthen you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ God is with each and every one of us. Wherever you are this evening, I just pray that you will feel the fire and the presence of the Holy Spirit. And God will just strengthen you in all ways in all your lives. And as we just gather for communion, as we just wait for a few social networks just to gather speed and just to capture and to catch up with us. Wherever you are in this evening, we thank God for you. God is with you. He's with you. In every area of your life, we're here this is the midnight hour, and to all those that are live as at the moment across the other side of the earth, and to everyone in the world, a podcast and we thank you so much for joining with us. In Buzzsprout, Spotify, Amazon music and so many other platforms, but let's just be bowed in prayer, whatever your stretches across this earth, whatever you are looking at whatever your life looks like at this moment in time, never give up God is with you. And I'm going to take us to Matthew chapter four, if we can turn to Matthew chapter four. In Matthew, Chapter Four is a simple, very easy read. And it's about following Jesus because I believe that's where we are at this moment in time is about just to follow Jesus, there are so many things in our lives, there are so many issues. There are things happening around us within government, within life within home, within business within just in every situation. And I really believe Christ is calling us into a deeper stretch, walk journey with him however you want to articulate however you want to verbalize, however you want to extract that from what I'm saying. And so from verse 18, so from verse 18. People are just jumping on line there. Yeah, good morning. Yeah. Good evening. Yeah. Good morning, good evening, good afternoon. Whatever you are, whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever the time is in your world. At this moment in time, we're gonna go to the Gospel of Matthew chapter four. And it's the calling of a few fishermen are calling of a few fishermen. I believe God is calling a few fishermen tonight and what do you mean fishermen, ordinary people, God is calling ordinary people, wherever you are, this morning, at this hour, at four minutes past 12. In the early hours, the midnight hour here within the UK, the rain is beating outside we can sit for at a window just over there. It's just coming. A torrent coming out over there, you can just hear it against the window. And so there is a storm, we looked at earlier, there was a storm and there was a storm on the UK there was a school there was a storm just beating across the the ship of the UK there is a pressure on the UK but Christ is with us amongst the pressure. And I believe amongst the pressure and amongst the issues and amongst the carnage and everything that's going on. I honestly believe God, Christ the Holy Spirit is calling you tonight to a deeper walk with Jesus a deeper walk with Him. So wherever you are, let's learn to walk differently, less learn to walk in a greater relationship with the Living Word of God because He is your word he is yes and amen. And he is for you and not against you. So I'm going to read from Matthew chapter four. We'll be breaking in the bread in just about 3540 minutes time. And it says in verse 18, of Matthew chapter four, to the end of 22. It says, As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, two brothers Simon, and called Peter and his brother Andrew, they were casting their nets into the lake for they were fishermen. Verse 19 of Matthew chapter four. Come on, follow me, Jesus said and I will send you out to fish for people at once they left their nets and They followed him. Going on a little further, he said to two other brothers James son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them immediately they left their boat, and they left their father and followed him. I honestly believe that we are living in very powerful, rich spiritual times, you know, there's a lot going on. And I believe God is calling you. The Holy Spirit is calling you and I believe Christ is calling you, the deity, the Trinity, the Godhead. However, we look at that however, we understand that through our Christian walk, I honestly believe Christ is calling you to a greater level. And me and Donnie, any Bishop, any leaders, I believe Christ is calling us to walk in a in a deeper walk with him, you know, sin, the Bible says, All have sinned and fallen short of that glory. And, and I sit before us at night and I say, Lord, forgive me, wash me in the blood of Jesus, Lord, a wretched man am I but I thank you for the power of repentance, I thank you for the power of justification, sanctification, I just thank you that there is power in the living Word of God. And tonight, Lord, I pray for my brothers and sisters that are on this broadcast with us, I pray for those that will capture this on the other side of the world. At this moment in time, I pray for those that will capture this podcast a week later, those that will join us later on today. Tomorrow, whenever they see this broadcast, I pray, Father, that all of us will just come to you and to say, Father, I want to walk in a greater relationship with you, Father, I want to walk deeper in the word father, I want to, I want to just go deeper into the presence of the Holy Spirit. So whoever, wherever, whatever your life might look like at this moment, God is with each and every one of us. And Christ just walked up to their business. He walked into their life, he walked into their, their family, he walked into their life, when Christ comes into us, it's really important that we remember that Christ comes into us he, he always comes to us. Yes, the Bible, in a few places tells us that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. But you can only do that when the power of God has already come in and released your lips and your heart to call on him. So wherever you are at this, this hour, whatever your time is, and however many hours you're in front of us or behind us, depending on where you are in the world. I thank God for your lives. And the reason I do that is because we are in a very powerful position at this moment to be believers in this world wherever we are, and to see what we are seeing. So God is moving God is just His ways are just, his love endures forever. And I pray for you tonight, I pray for Donnie and myself and everyone in our lives everyone around us. People we meet in work in church and culture in life. We just bring everyone before you tonight, Lord, and we say, Father, will you draw all of us to walk in a deeper walk with you on? Father, we thank you for the power of the blood of Christ, we thank you for the power of the living word. We thank you for your love that is just unconditional. But right now Father, every one of us on the broadcast everyone that is capturing this via Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and the other platforms and the podcast in areas Father, we pray, Father, that You will just draw us deeper into your love, Lord, that every one of us Father will be drawn deeper into your love that we will walk Lord in a new way in a fresh way, in a way that we've never walked before, Lord, that we will walk in your presence. Lord, we thank you for your love, Lord, your love, just cover us covers us Your presence is with us. And as the scriptures that I've just read out very clearly in Matthew chapter four, it says that Christ just called them and Christ is calling you Christ is calling you at this hour. Maybe you've been a believer for many years maybe you might be a new believer might be bouncing in and out of Christianity. Maybe trying different churches, different denominations not sure or maybe you might be a strong believer and everything in your life is sewn up with nice rose petals and and everything is groovy and wonderful in the name of Jesus. Maybe you're one that might be broken and busted and just completely on the floor with life at the moment. But wherever you are, whatever. And however you long you've been walking with Jesus, I can assure you that Christ is always calling each and every one of us to walk at a newer level of fresher level, a level because, you know, that's what he is about. He's always drawing Christ is always drawing us into him. And I pray for that. for you tonight I pray for me and Dani, and everyone on the socials, everybody that we come into contact within the framework of Christianity as Christ called the two. Then he went to the next boat and he called the other two, as Christ is calling them Christ is calling us and Christ is always calling. It's absolutely astonishing that when you read about Christ, he always presents himself to humanity. He always comes to their business, their home, their life, their well, Jacob's well he went to the well he met the woman at the well where she was, Christ meets us where we are, Christ comes to us. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. And there's just two simple stories, two simple factual points of the Scripture tonight, that Christ was calling the fisherman. Christ was calling the business owner, Christ was calling the self employed, Christ was calling the worker Christ was calling his disciples. And wherever you are, at this moment, man or woman, God is calling you to walk in a deeper level. Not because we are sinning more or because we're up to tricks, nothing to do with that, because of his love is unconditional. And God just wants us to walk. Always at a greater level. God is always calling God is always drawing and even if we are the world's biggest prodigal son, yo yoing, backwards and forwards into into the father's house and then back out in and out, doing what we call the Hokey cokey Christianity walk in and out backwards and forwards like a Yo yo, one thing's for sure is the father's eyes are always on the sun. Let me just remind all of us tonight the father's eyes are always on his child. The father is always expecting us to come back. We might disappear off, you know, we might say, Yeah, I'm off by Jesus in a little while. I'll be back here. But his eyes are always on us. His love is always over us. His kindness, his favor, His mercy endures forever. There's nothing finer than following Jesus. So the simple stretch on his text tonight that we are in is in verse 19. of Matthew chapter four. Come on, follow me. Jesus said it is the same for you and for me at this hour. Wherever you are. Come and follow Jesus. Jesus is calling. Jesus is calling. He's not calling the fabric of the building. He's not calling the hierarchy system he is calling the worker he is calling the fisherman He is calling the parent He is calling the child He is calling you. God is calling you tonight. And he is simply saying, Come on. Follow me. Yeah, thank you. It's a journey. It's a journey. And as you look at the text, you might dissect it, you might just skim over it. You might just read it and not get nothing from this. But in the name of Jesus. One thing we can't run from is Jesus is always calling. Come follow me. He said and and I will send you out to fish for people at once they left their nets and followed him. Isn't it interesting when Christ is is drawing us we we automatically without even thinking? There are certain things in our lives that we just lay down that we just lay him down. They laid their nets down, they laid their livelihood down, they laid there the gift in their skill set, they lay down their business, they laid it down. See when when Christ comes and calls, you can't hang on to it. They went back a few times and tried to mend their necks. They went back and Simon Peter said I'm going fishing again. So there is a tendency to go back to the nets of life. But even when you're at the nets of life, Christ will come on the shoreline and shout across the lake. Friends haven't knew any fish. We've been fishing all night they said we know what we're doing. We know this lake we know this sea we know our nets we know our boat. Jesus said fish on the right side. When you fish with Christ when you live with Christ when you drop your nets into the ocean you might be the greatest business person on the earth you might be whoever you are but if you're not fishing if you're not walking with Jesus is very empty. You will exhaust yourself. You know how to fish you know to live you know to put food on the table. But there's an emptiness but Christ is calling you to drop your net, drop your materialism, drop everything that is a capture, and will hold us as the Bible says, Don't let the snare of life grab you. So Father, we pray right now Lord, in the name of Jesus, Father that we will just keep walking. I pray that we just keep walking that we just drop our nets at the shoreline, we just lay everything down. And we just walk for Jesus, we just walk for Christ. That's all he requires. He says, Just come and follow me. He doesn't say, I want you to go to go to a theological school. We don't say that I want you to spend five years studying he says, Just come and follow me. From business, to kingdom, from hard work is a freedom from struggle to blessing wherever you are. Christ is calling you father, as dawn will lead us in prayer and communion as our brother will read Scripture and bring us to more into Christ. I just pray love for myself and Donnie and everybody online and this broadcast. I pray that the Holy Spirit will just draw us. I pray that the word will enable us, I thank you that you have equipped us that each and every one of us is gifting in our own certain way that we carry the gift and Father, you're the one that gives us gives us the gift. But father, the fruit of the Spirit, Father, God, we just thank you for the fruit of the Spirit. We thank You, Lord, that that is evident in our lives. We thank You, Father, that the power of the word is staring us tonight. Whether we're in bed, whether we're on the sofa, whether we're working wherever we're on the other side of planet Earth at this moment in time on this broadcast, I pray, Lord, that you will draw and you will continue to call us. Give us is to hear. Give us eyes to see Lord and give us a heart to receive. Stir us and sturdiness and sturdiness and Steris. Lord, draw us and draw us and draw us Lord, I thank You, Lord, that the sick are healed. I thank you that the blind that are seen. I thank You, Lord that the deaf are hearing. I thank You, Lord, that the hard hearted, their hearts are being softened in the name of Jesus. All those that are carrying weariness and fear. We thank you that it is broken at the name of Jesus and there is power. In the name of Jesus and Lord in the simple read of the Holy Word of God tonight, Lord, the Living Word. We thank you that Your word is sharp, and it is sharper than a double edged sword. But tonight, Lord, I thank you that there is a new calling. There is a no calling on our lives. There is a fresh word for every one of us. It doesn't matter what we've been up to. It doesn't matter what what FOXO or rabbit Oh, it doesn't matter what Cody said, we found ourselves in a date doesn't matter what wrong move we've made. Christ died on the cross for you. And for me, there was shedding of the blood, the cross of Calvary and you are redeemed and you are his his his child and you belong to him and I belong to him. Nothing can separate us Romans chapter eight, nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. So wherever you are tonight, what ever, the spill on the carpet is whatever the problem is, whatever is going on, God is with me and you and we are loved. We are loved. His love endures forever. Just remember John 316. Just remember John 316, For God so loved the world. He loves you. You are blessed. You are redeemed, you are justified, you are sanctified. And let's glorify the King together tonight. Let's glorify the King. Let's just give him a praise and let's just give him our heart. You know, what a silly thing to say, Pastor Ben, give Him your heart. He has already got my heart. So a lot of our Christian walk has already been predestined. But our lips have to speak. Out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water. Our hearts are already stamped. freedom in Christ. Our hearts are already free in the name of Jesus. Just give him a price. Dawn my good brother. My brother's gonna lead us in prayer tonight.
Donny Stockburn:Thank you. Yay, God's good. I'll get a laugh out of it. Sometimes Ben goes down to his house or go home to mine. Or God tells me Sunday God tells him something and we get any and he's told us the same thing. And yes, slowly much. Tonight I've got written down. So got kept it right Tonight when keep our eyes completely on Jesus, not to talk about our sin and, and things like that. It's very important, but just keeping our eyes on Jesus, and let's run this race, let's live this life looking at Jesus, because he's the author and perfecter of our faith. Who for the joy, it says, in Hebrews 12, wants to Ooh, for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising all the shame, and in the sat down at the end of God. And I've got a little question, why? The answer is because He loves us. Amen. He loves us, hallelujah is the answer. And I've got some scriptures here. About the power of the name of Jesus. I'm not gonna go reading them all. I'm just gonna read your son. eyes on Jesus is x four to 12. No other name under 11 given by which we can be saved, has one reason for following Jesus is one reason for keeping our eyes on Him. And His under some. I am the Way the Truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except by me. Oh, man. Here's another reason. John one one, in the beginning was Jesus. And Jesus was with God. And Jesus is God is another reason. And then I got my animal favorites here. And it's John 1125. Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, yet though he dies, he shall live. And our member, her working on the market one day giving stuff out. And I come across two old guys sitting on this little metal bench under a tree chatting away. And we offered him a Bible and we got talking. And one of them showed me a wound on his left calf, where he shot in the wall, bullet went through it, and each made such little thing of it. And then he got reached in his pocket. And he pulled out this picture, an old sort of torn, almost sepiolite photo of of his lovely wife. And she had been long gone. And he was looking around. And I was looking here and I said to him, do you know what Jesus said? Said, I am the voice of action and life. He that believes in me, yet know he died, shall he live? And he looked up. And that look in his eye told me in until he heard that. He never had a hope of seeing his wife again. Suddenly, how come into his life? There's a Why is a chance that I might see her again because she did believe. And I said to him the same again. He that believes in me Jesus said yet oh, he dies. He shall have eternal life. Amen. Well, there's a reason. There's a reason why Jesus is a reason why he's lime is so powerful. There is no other name. I just want to read you two other scriptures to show us the power the name of Jesus. Jesus, one of them's in Ephesians one, verse 21, Cochituate, the mouse just two of them. Far, far above all principality, and power, and my and dominion, and even every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the age which is to come is the name of Jesus, far above, or dominion, or power is the name of Jesus. And going back to Philippians chapter two verse nine down, I'm just gonna read it quickly. It says, Therefore, God, who has highly exalted Him, Jesus, and given to him the name, which is above every name, the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, and those in heaven, and those on the earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. What a name that is, what a name. Father, we you know about all our fears and troubles. You've written this whole bible about us, Lord, and Father good. We just look at you, Lord, and it says, space, time and matter. Do not apply to you. Yeah, thank you, Joe, all under your authority to your all things of all things. Space Time, matter of all your creation of all the stars and constellations, of all eternity, of all things in the earth. under the earth, you love us the most is the incredible thing, Father, that You love us the most. And you've made promises to us. I've got a couple of them. But one of them I love one of them that brought me such comfort in life, especially with all the fears and things like that is the one that says, I'll be with you forever. I will never leave you. And no one can snatch you out of my hand. All those who come to me, I will not lose the father's Commander, I will not lose one of you. That's secure a is Jesus is for real. And Lord arches pray now. This, this word that we've read out all these wonderful things Jesus promised us. And it's love that is poured out on us, Father God, it will be ministering to the hearts now. Jesus, thank you Holy smokes, good luck learning coming to you walking back to a lonely house tonight. Lonely bed next to your bed, perhaps your wife or your beloved husband have passed away. And things like that, or maybe the loved ones in US Bill. All these things, all these worries and cares and battles that we're in. We welcome with Jesus. And it says, let's keep our eyes fixed on him. Because he's the author, and he's a perfect of our faith. And he will not let us down. When God speaks. He cannot lie. And he's promised. The Bible says God is faithful. He has secured everything. When you go walking back to the empty house. He's with you. Because he promised he would be Yes, father, when you lie in a fight, that you got that hospital appointment coming up, you've been dreading. He's with you. He said, I'll never leave you are not very educated really. But I know what never means. Never means without bright without cease. He will be with us always a lot. If I'd only known. In my early years, I wouldn't have suffered after fears. I did do that, Lord, you you in your love. And in your perfect timing. have bought me into your Kingdom far ago. And we play like been in agreement. Were to agree that you're gonna call many, many people. The time is right now. As it was for me, it is for them. Now the time is right now being called. You've been drawn to Jesus. Imagine that. If you said it to someone. God drew me to Jesus. It didn't just happen. God did it. I know I remember all the time, kept asking questions, or give up football found myself sitting in a church, the only one who could answer my questions was Jesus. And all that time I thought it was me looking for him. In all the time it was him drawing me to his son, and nude. Lots of you are under that now lots of you have been drawn to Jesus. She says me Ben and I were Ben was a book. I was a plaster. Father God and you bless my life, didn't deserve all these things. lovely wife, lovely family, love his children. Lovely church, met Ben Kamya got blessed in the old age. God is not stopped blessing our lives. He doesn't cease. He is faithful and He will do all he promised. He will give us eternal life when we come to Him. He would give that old man on the on that bench. He told her life when we come to him is how far God we pray that tonight your minister and if I if someone said to me, always Jesus right now, aside, walk into those hospital wards. And those sick people. He's operating in the prisons, where those people are, they're sort of given up on any sort of normal life, just accepted that they're going to spend a lot of time in prison, and Jesus is ministering in there. And amongst those lonely and outspoken people to prostitutes in a brokenhearted drugs uses those with addictions that I can't see ourselves ever get. Now, Jesus can minister to you. He can break that addiction. He can bring that grief to stop. He can make promises and keep them to you. Jesus is able to do that he is a name above all names. Thank you No Name above him. In all the earth and under the earth is a highest name. Space Time and matter do not apply. Amen. He's Lord has that as well. He's Lord of the stars when we look up, he is of all these things. We all his most precious, because he gave everything word of the precious pearl is so true. That the gave up Everything to purchase us. He gave His life up. God gave His Son up so he could have us. These are all truths and fairy tales and ways of life and not codes of living. These are truths. Go beyond science, go beyond education, go beyond knowledge and say, Father God, we pray that by your Holy Spirit, tonight you will minister to all those Lord who coin out who need help Father God, all over the third god, you're the only one who can meet the need God only one who can pay addiction God only one who can change a person's heart. You are the heart changer. There is no other art changer. The thought of God we pray that you will come now as we piled, you touch people's lives, who do your power and your loved Lord, just touch Him Lord touched him as he touched those lepers touch them as you touch those blind people. Touch them as you touch those crippled people touch him as he touched those dead people and brought them to life. Far good. You could not pass anyone who was sick without touching them or healing them. And it's sound today, Fargo, we asked you now Jesus, in his early hours of this morning, in days in with you sitting under a bright blue sky in the middle of the day, all curled up under the blankets, listening and not looking forward to some more. Jesus is Lord of your life is Lord of everything he wrote over time. He's lost a lot of space time and it doesn't apply to him. And so far to go we just asked you, give you thanks, Ben, and I will give you thanks, it was easy to come in here and share what you've done in our lives. What you've put into our house, far too good, as it was shared and given to her Father, we pray you will rise up now. Decide disciples like you've eyes Peter, and John, and James and Philip. Lord, who would have ever thought you would advise him

Father, we pray that you will just draw them closer to you, Lord, that we won't get caught in materialism, because Jesus is calling that Lord that we will leave the material nets that we will leave what we think is is going to bring us peace in our lives. But Lord, we just ask you now, for those that are worried father about their utility bills, Lord, just the general humdrum of living, that you will just make a way in their lives where there just seems to be no way, Lord, that you will strengthen them and lift them and draw them closer to you, everyone that is on the social tonight. Everyone on YouTube, all those father in the water podcast and across this nation, Lord and across the world as we broadcast at this midnight hour, we ask You, Father, that you will call us that you will keep calling Lord and we will hear your voice loud and clear. Because sometimes Jesus if we're honest, it's a difficult walk. Father, it's a hard walk. Lord is a walk father that sometimes feels very lonely. Lord, it sometimes feels that I have faith majors drop out of our boats some days, Lord, some days it feels like Lord that we could climb a mountain farther. Because we're so full of faith and other days it feels Lord that we're empty. Lord as a as empty could ever be completely dry, completely running on out completely running on fresh air. But tonight and all those that are just looking to move or those that are looking to relocate their lives, Father bless them, or those that are looking for a new job or are in a job that are worried about their job, Father, bless them.

So fast we pray, Lord, that you will slow the thinking you will slow the mind down, Lord, that You will bring calmness to those that are really struggling, that are just really struggling to sleep Father, we just pray for peace on their bones, on the innermost being that they will find rest in Christ. We thank You, Father that heavenly hosts are put to flight. Lord concerning our lives. We thank you for Psalm 91. Lord, the angels are assigned to our lives that they will guard us in all of our ways that they will lift us up in their hands, so that our foot will not strike up against the stone. So Father, we thank you, that heavenly hosts, Lord are commanded Lord to lift us up in their hands. Lord, when there is a situation arising that is very Hydras. And very dangerous, that Lord that we get lifted up. And with Lord, we get carried over the situation. We thank You, Lord, that You give us strength. We pray for endurance tonight, not all those that are going to endure or those that are caught in temptations or those that have got fear. Any one of us that has got pride issues in our lives, break the pride, right, the anger brighten the frustration, Father, take it, draw it, remove it from our lives, the root Lord, if any of us has got a root within us, Lord, that is a strong root Lord, that the top of the tree is cut off, Lord, and we've turned over the top of it but there is a root, there is a root inside of us, Lord, take the root Lord, father finished the extraction. Lord, remove that root father, and Father, we thank you for freedom, who the sun sets free is free indeed. And tonight, Lord and brothers and sisters, as we just lift each other before the Lord in prayer. And as we carry each other in prayer, Lord, we pray for all those on this broadcast, Lord, that the love of God will be surrounding them. And they will feel your presence and your love like never before that they will feel that lift in their heart, they will feel that lift in their being. They will feel, Lord, that their hearts have been lifted in the name of Jesus. So Lord, all those that are mending their nets at the shoreline of life. Father, we pray, Lord, that they will just drop them nets and follow Jesus. For all those that are trying to fish Lord with them nets and trying to bring stuff into the house. Those Lord that have so used to got caught in their own nets. Lord, I pray, Lord, that we won't get tangled in our nets. So Lord, help us to lay the nets down, Lord, help us Father, not to fish so hard. In the Lake of life, Lord, we exhaust ourself. So tonight, Lord, all those that are fishing so hard just trying to survive. Lord, I ask you that you'll give them strength, Lord, to let go of their nets, and to walk by faith. So Father, as Christ called the fisherman on the shoreline of Galilee, it took faith to drop them nets. So Lord, give us faith, give us more faith, increase our faith, Lord, to drop everything. The such a strong Titus, Lord, financial issues, political areas, the pride of life, the angles, the frustrations, the doubts, the fears, the worries, the the entrapments, the snares, the temptations, Lord, the screaming moments, the crying moments, help us to lay everything down at the cross of Calvary. Lord, I pray that you will just draw us always and I know you will, to the cross of Calvary, because at the cross, there is freedom. At the cross, there is hope. At the cross, there is life. At the cross there is redemption. And Lord at the cross we find Jesus. So Lord, I thank you for the cross. Because it is the cross that just bridges everything. It is the cross that bridges me, to the Father. It is the cross the power of the outward work in excess of the cross through Christ on the cross. I thank You, Lord, that it is because of Christ went to the cross. We have access to the Father. So Lord, I thank you for what the cross represents. I thank you for what the cross Lord symbolizes when we see it when we look at it. Lord, I pray, Lord, as we focus on Christ, we will know that our Redeemer lives and because he lives we can face tomorrow. So at this moment in time, Lord, help us to drop our nets to leave every materialistic, draw and gain every idol worship, drop our nets, every area Lord where we are casting our nets and trying to fish and bring money into The House help us to lay everything down. Because my God shall supply all my needs according to the riches and glory. And I don't need these nets that entangle me. Because I am really a slave to the net. The net doesn't work for me, but I work for the net, I have no choice. So Lord, I pray, Lord, that that will be broken at the name of Jesus, we will find freedom by letting the nets go, letting the issues on the lake of life law, we leave our nets. Father, as Donnie takes us to Communion tonight, Lord, as our brother brings us to the passing over, as we break bread as we take the cup as we be still and know that you are God. And as we rest in the everlasting arms of the Father, I thank you that your arms are wrapped around all those that are broken. And last and fearful and doubtful. Tonight, Lord, we thank you that the prayers of the saints have been answered, we thank You, Father, that when we call you've answered, you've set the captive free tonight. Lord, we bring all those before you that a broken hearted, all those that are crushed in spirit according to the Word of God, the brokenhearted and the crushed in spirit. Lord, I thank you that there is freedom for those that have got a broken heart. And Lord, all those that feel crushed in spirit. I thank You Father through the crushing experience. Father, we endure. And we rise on wings as of egos. And we stand in the Word of God and we believe in healing, all those that need the healing hand of the Father, the healing balm of Gideon, Lord, the healing presence of the Holy Spirit, the healing presence of the word, the fullness of God, all those that need healing all those that have got ailments, or those Father God that are carrying heavy weights Lord of infirmities, Lord, we pray that they will be broken at the name of Jesus and freedom will abound in the human body tonight, Lord that that kept it will be free from mental health issue. Issues lots of for those that just box them into their own prison law, those that are got a prison going on the inside, that have boxed themselves away from culture and society. We pray Lord for a blessing on them in the mighty name of Jesus. So healing tonight, there is healing at the cross. There is freedom at the cross there is break for the cross, there is hope at the crust. And you will find Jesus Christ of Nazareth at the cross, but also at the cross. He came off the cross. And at the cross, it is an empty cross. And it reminds us that He is risen. Your God and your King, the King above all kings, the Jesus that you follow the King of the Jews. And Jesus said, it is as you say, The King above all kings, the King of the Jews, the Savior of the world, as the crowd shouted out on Palm Sunday, as they call it out or the top of their voice, as they called, and as they shouted, with exhortation and praise, the same crowd a few days, hours later, will shout in. Give us give us Give us Barabbas Be careful of the crowd. Because they'll praise you one minute and they'll be tearing you down another minute. Find yourself brothers and sisters that will carry you in prayer. Watch out for the crowd hosanna hosanna here comes the king. Then before they could draw breath give us give us give us Oh Lord, Holy Spirit. Lord, help us to be careful of the crowd. Barabbas I believe that we need to be very careful. We are living in very tender times. And I pray that wherever you are tonight be careful of the ones that praise you in one breath. And as they cough they chant Sonic F they're waving palm leaves, welcoming the Savior of the world. And by the time he gets down the ever end of the road they're running to Calvary and Colin, Crucify, crucify. Watch out for the crowd. Step away from the crowd. Drop your nets and follow Jesus. Drop your nets as we come to the table Don's gonna break bread and take the cup and lead us in this area will is a few minutes where we can just get ourselves some bread and a bit of wine, grape juice, or a little bit late it's 10 to one here in the UK to get the wine out. Take it easy. Take it easy crab, grab a fruit shirt, grab a fruit shirt, that's the best bet. Don't want to get wobbly this time of night brothers and sisters. Were Father in the name of Jesus we thank you for the power of the living word. Because we are grafted in sisters and brothers wherever you are across this earth you are grafted in. You was coding. You was grafted in. You was built in US accepted in and nothing can separate you from the love of God. Do you realize how blessed you are? To he realize how much God loves you do you realize that you are grafted in. You are grafted in on the graft than that you're connected you're joined you are in and you cannot be separated from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. You are you are in you are in a new can never be separated nothing. No devil in hell no nakedness, no famine, no, no sword, no peril. It says we are like sheep to be slaughtered every day. But nothing, no famine, no beating, nothing can separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, you are saved, you are born again. You are Spirit fills, you are filled with the Word of God, you are redeemed, you are saved, you are on your way to heaven. This is a destination. This is just a few train stops. This is just a bit of a bumpy ride on a rough old train route. And you were going to land in glory one day, we're going to be in the biome buyer. We're going to be walking the streets of gold, we're going to say the king. He says I've gone and prepare in a place for you. But I'm coming back. He says In My Father's house are many rooms. And I preparing. I've prepared an arm. I'm coming back for you. But I'm not gonna leave you as orphans I'm gonna give you I'm gonna give you the council I'm gonna give you the Holy Spirit. But I want you to wait in the upper room I want you to be patient wait. I believe Christ is asking many of us as well to wait to be patient. There's a wind blowing from heaven. There's a wind blowing from heaven. You are anointed, you are chosen. You are blessed. You are a son and a daughter. And as we come to the table tonight, let's just drop the nets. Let's hand it over to Jesus. This is handing over our this is handing over moment this is lifting your hands up just letting open in your palm of your hands. And just physically just letting everything go. Give everything to Jesus. Give him everything you got. Give him everything. Our brother is going to break bread now and we come to the table.
Donny Stockburn:Thank you, Father, for your ministry. Lord, it's going on right now. People's lives Father God as we speak, Lord, people being healed. We thank you for that. Lord, oh, no follow. Just Lord minister that night to us now Lord night, it's Jesus said he had looked forward to for a long time of all those nights that they sat around, perhaps a little fire or on a hillside or in some little room, speaking and learning from Jesus and talking about what they've been doing those days. For three years. This was the night of nights. This was the night that Jesus said he looked forward to so much doing his bread and wine. And so many teachings come from that night. Let last great prayer Jesus when he prayed to sign prayer for us, as he prayed for Peter that when when we got tested, her faith would stand. Amen because he said follow Oh want him? Yes, let's see my glory. I want them to be where I am. Thank
Reverend Ben Cooper:you Jesus.
Donny Stockburn:I can't imagine a prayer that Jesus prayed that God wouldn't answer. And here we are. He because he said this prayers for, for my disciples, he said, but I pray also, for all those who will believe, as I do. That's us now, by now, in SWAMI inexorable, sitting down here, in his back room is exactly the same for us, as it was for them. So far, God, drawers round table, let us sit amongst your disciples, let us lean against you, like John did, fall, God, bring us there, and bring all Lord we are not going to bring anything other than ourselves, we will need you to minister to us tonight, Lord, Your word of Father God, which is our set, we will expand your presence now. Father God, and and you know, of all the healings we need doing and all all the issues we got going on. That's why you spent this night because you knew your disciples, were going to be facing all sorts of things as you did. And I was going to get abused, and they were going to be pushed around a bit. As your church has now your true church. Sadly, the same for us. And you knew that Lord, and so you ministered this word. Never forget how you get your salvation. Jesus gave his command. Yes, Lord, don't forget, remember how it comes about? Remember, this is nothing to do your works your performance. This is my body. And Jesus said, back there and ebos says, a body you are prepared for me for the sacrifice. To take our place in death. God gave him a body, a perfect body, to take our place in death to take our punishment. That was it. You're telling them that night. This is how you get to heaven. This is my body given for you to Take death away from you to take separation away from you to tell that old man on Swanley on the bench is he could see his wife again. If he believed like she did, Lord wa was savior, all because of you. Your love for us Father, Yes, father, John 316, For God so loved the world. That's all mankind owes. Whoever would come. Whosoever would come let them come and drink the walls of life. Father God, we just thank you for that gift, Nolan and command to make sure that we never forgot how it comes about. All our sins are forgiven, all passed into you. Remember, that little story of a boy said Dad, what does Jesus do with our sins? Did he put them in a big bat bag or something? Now son, he puts him in it puts them in Jesus, God put our sins into Jesus. He took them to the costs in his perfect body and fulfilled the Lord that we could never do. Give us eternal life follow this is your this is the body of Jesus. We thank you for as we tag it now will you remember how is we got saved? Jesus name Amen. Since lots of times says there is power in the blood of Jesus and Jesus blood. He had to be pure blood or his life it means the same thing had to be pure without sin. His blood never came from any any human. It was his father's blood that was running in his veins. Jesus came from heaven, not Bethlehem. He comes from heaven. I'll come from Yorkshire. Jesus comes from heaven. He is the King of kings. Yeah. That blood that life was put into Mary. And Jesus became a man who really was the perfect Son of God. But he became the man and through suffering he became perfect. At something you have to remember, through the suffering, he became perfect. But his blood his blood was blood Xin his father. That's what made it so precious. That's what mode is so priceless. Because there's nothing else in existence that can bring us salvation. It's the only thing that can fulfill the law, there is nothing else. And LVDS there is little bit in one way or the old rough fishermen who Jesus transformed. Put this down, says, knowing that you are not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct, received by traditions from your father's, but with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish, without spot, he indeed, was for dying before the foundation of the world manifests in these last days. For you and me, this is the blood. This is that precious blood. It was in Jesus, it was a father's blood, running through his veins, he was his life in him. And this is what it cost God, it cost him his son, and it costs Jesus his whole life. And Father God, we just remember that is we get saved, that we are covered in the blood of Jesus, that all those saints that was seen in Revelation, Revelation seven, who had eyes, the old said, who are like, Who is that I will washed in the blood of Jesus man. And Father God, every soul that comes to you will get the same treatment because you said, Whosoever will come, let them come. Lay out a predestined, whosoever would come predestined for glory. Father does the blood to open the doors of heaven for us. And we just thank you for in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Just want to go back on Summit, Ben Mitch mentioned about the devil, a lot of people are afraid of that. And, and I think that you can do something to him. If he can, if he could, wasn't he done it? Amen. Because he can't thank you, Jesus. Because we are covered by the blood washed, we're not in under law. It's nothing to do with our way. Goodness, our performance. We're not under law anymore. We are covered by grace and mercy and ending and it's forever whenever whenever you're safe, you're in Jesus, you're safe. And you come less CZ. God will keep you safe. is charged Jesus to bring each one of us home safely. He says, a note won't lose. One of them is the Father's will, that I lose none of those belong to me. That's the word of God. All witches thank you for that. In Jesus name, amen.
