Good evening , world . God bless you wherever you are , in the mighty name of Jesus Christ . God is with us wherever you are this evening . May the hand of the Lord always be upon you . Thank you so much for joining us wherever we are across this beautiful world this evening . Just a quick reminder , very , very quick reminder . There is a little bit of trouble with the screen this evening , but that doesn't matter , because all we need to know is that we can hear . So the volume is okay , we're in and we're ready to go wherever . Wherever you are this evening , we thank God for your lives in the powerful name of Jesus Christ . We're going to turn to Psalm 27 , verse 1 . Psalm 27 , verse 1 . And that is it . Wherever you are , we thank God for the thousands , tens of thousands of downloads right across the earth .
Speaker 1In the world of podcast , we're not worried about the visuals , it's just the sound that we need to hear . It is the word of God . That's all we got to hear is the word . May God bless you and strengthen you in the mighty name of the Father , the Son , the Holy Spirit . God is with you wherever you are . I pray that you will feel the love of the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit . You know , it's really , really important that we dive in the scriptures , we get in the word of God and wherever you are this evening , may God strengthen you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ . But we're in and we're in Psalm 27 , the Psalm of David . We thank God for your support , we thank God for your prayers and , wherever you are placed , may God strengthen you . May the hand of God , may his presence , may the Holy Spirit , always lead you in paths of righteousness .
Speaker 1Let's get straight in as we gather around this beautiful word of god psalm 27 . Psalm 27 , verse 1 the lord is the light of my salvation . Whom shall I fear ? The lord is the stronghold of my life . Of whom shall I be afraid ? Are you fearful tonight ? Are you doubtful tonight ? Are you worried tonight ? Are you fearful tonight ? Are you doubtful tonight ? Are you worried tonight ? Are you lost tonight ? May the hand of God be resting upon you and may the power of the Holy Spirit sit within your heart , your mind , your body , your soul .
Speaker 1But as we get into the word of God , when you look at Psalm 27 , verse 1 , and it says the Lord is the light of my salvation , two areas there , two key critical areas as we look at these scriptures , as we gather for breaking of bread and undertaking of the cup in the presence of our Father , the Son , the Holy Spirit . So the Lord is my light . You know if you have a Bible with you . If you turn to Genesis , chapter 1 , round about verse 3 , it says and God said Let there be what he said , let there be light . Light is critical . We understand through science . The darkness only has its strength when there is the absence of light . But when light comes in , darkness has to flee . There is power in the word of god .
Speaker 1If you are struggling with life itself , if you are fearful , doubtful with whatever is going on in your world , your situations , wherever you are at this moment in time psalm 27 whether you're on the visuals , whether you're on the audible , whether you're listening through I heart radio in america , singapore , japan , uh , israel , wherever you are at this hour , may the hand of god always be upon you , but he is the light of the world . The Bible says that . Jesus says I am the light of the world and darkness cannot exist . If you are carrying the Father , the Son , the Holy Spirit , there is the greatest light within you . You know when you study light , when you look at light , when you work out light , when you try and come to some form of human understanding , trying to look at everything that goes on . You know , in Psalm 27 , verse 1 , if you're joining us this evening , I see people just joining us for this live stream broadcast , for this podcast across the world .
Speaker 1We are in Psalm 27 , verse 1 , the Lord is the light of my salvation Two critical words . So you know that obviously you might say that salvation is the is the stronger word , but also we might lean into that word light as well . So in verse one it says the lord is my light , the lord is my light . In the beginning of genesis , chapter one , verse three , it says and god said let there be light . There is something extremely powerful , whether you look at it through picture formation , whether you look at it through word , whether you look at it through visuals , whether you just look at it through the eyes of science . However you look at light , light is powerful . Jesus says I am the light of the world . There is a correlation and you can hear the fabric of the text . You can hear that the text being woven together all the way from Genesis , chapter 1 , verse 3 , and God said see , there is power in speech . What we got to remember is that when we speak , you know , angels have to move . When we speak , the word of God is put to flight . So if you have a Bible , turn to Psalm , turn to Psalm . Let's think , let's go .
Speaker 1Psalm 91 you know it's very clear what the psalmist writes in psalm 91 . He is very , very clear in what he says . Psalm 91 that god will command his angels , concerning you , to carry you in all their ways so that you will not strike your foot against the rock . You know , god has your life . God has every area of your life . He has every centimeter , every area of your life . He has every centimeter , every millimeter of your life .
Speaker 1Are you fearful ? Tonight ? There are angels assigned to you . The word of God is written for you . The word of God is with you and whether you're in Psalm and you look in Psalm 91 , whether you might want to dip your toe in Psalm 23 , but we are in Psalm 27, . They all just run smoothly together . They are woven . The word of god from genesis to revelation is woven together .
Speaker 1Psalm 27 , verse 1 . Let's read what it says again the lord is my light . There is power in light . You know , when you just strike a match and you bring light into a dark situation , when you bring light into a dark place , you know the darkness seems to disappear , it seems to fade away . And remember , you carry light , you carry the word of God , you carry the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and the living word is amongst you . He is the great I am . He is worthy of all praise .
Speaker 1If you are worried , if you are fearful , if you are doubtful , as the psalmist writes it , just as he just presses on after the word salvation , he says whom shall I fear ? There is nothing for you of me to be fearful of . There is nothing in this world that we should be fearful of , frightened of . There should be nothing in our lives that we are , uh , stressed about . You know stress and worry and fear . You know , we know where that comes from . It is from the outside environment . It is from the outside world that is around us .
Speaker 1But if you are stressful , if you are fearful , I would encourage you tonight , across the world , to get yourself in the Holy Word of God , because there is power , there is freedom , there is redemption , there is hope , there is glory , there is mercy , there is justification . There is glory , there is mercy , there is justification , there is redemption . Everything is in the word of God . So we encourage you this evening to be brothers and sisters of the word , brothers and sisters of the greatness of the word of God . You know God says do not hide that light . You know the Bible is very clear in Psalm 119 , 105 , I do believe it says your word is a lamp unto my feet , a light for my path , a light . The word of God is a light . The word of God is power . The word of God is fire . The word of God is hope . You know it will deal with every situation in your life . It won't remove every situation , but what it will do ? It will strengthen you through your situation . It will give you hope in your situation . The word of God is power and it is authority .
Speaker 1But if you are joining us , if you are linking through to this service at this hour we're sorry about the broadcast , but you will be able to listen to this back through seamlessly and flawlessly , so beautifully and so so clear . If you link into the podcast later on , it will go up soon . You can find all these services just very simply on spotify iheart radio . You can find them , alexa . You can find them on apple podcast . You can find them on google . You can just find them anywhere . So we don't worry about the visuals , because the audible that the , the voice is , is what we are looking for . So there is clarity , you know . There is clarity through the word of god and wherever you sit across this world at this hour , I pray that you will realize that god , through christ , through the lord jesus christ , the lord is my light , the lord is the light . He will light up the path .
Speaker 1Again , again , we have to reference the Psalm . We can't escape the fact that the Psalmist is so powerful when he talks about light , when he talks about the word of God . And if you have that Bible still flicked open tonight , you may be just on that text in Psalm 119 , 105 . Your word is clear , it's given us clarity , it's given us authority . Your word is a lamp . Your word is a lamp . You know , a lamp is so critical , it was so poignant , it was so powerful . In those days they didn't have electricity , all that sort of stuff . Light is so powerful .
Speaker 1Darkness has to flee at the power of light . We understand through science , as we've said , as we've looked at , as we've pulled this apart more times than we can count . You know , light is greater than darkness and darkness through the eyes of science and through the eyes of a test tube , darkness only exists because there is an absence of something . Darkness only exists because there is an absence of what . Darkness only exists because there is an absence of something . And when you put light into a dark space , when you put light into darkness , you know the light is greater than any darkness and you carry the light of the world . Jesus says I am the light of greater than any darkness and you carry the light of the world . Jesus says I am the light of the world . No one comes to the father except through me . Again , we have to reference these scriptures there because they're woven together .
Speaker 1The scripture cannot be separated . The word of god cannot be removed from one text to another . The word of god just flows like a beautiful river . It glistens like a beautiful lake when the sun is shining upon that . Psalm 27 , verse 1, . The Lord is the light of and my salvation .
Speaker 1Then we come on to the word salvation . What does salvation mean ? It means to be saved . The basic principle , the basic understanding means to be saved from what Saved from sin , saved from the eternal bits of the lake of fire of hell . To be saved , to have salvation .
What is salvation ? Salvation is given . Salvation is a gift given . Salvation is a gift . Light is a gift . Christ is a gift . So when we look at all this stuff that goes on through the word of god , we are given everything . Light is given , salvation is given , hope is given , redemption is given , because they all run beautifully together . So salvation is upon you tonight . Salvation is around you . Tonight . Salvation is around you .
Speaker 1Salvation is living in your heart . You know , it's not a suit that we wear , it's not a skin that we carry on , this outside of this body of ours . Salvation sits in your heart . You are saved because it's not the flesh that is saved , it is the inner man , it is the inner me , me . It is the inner you , that , the inner person . It is not the flesh . We understand through scripture that flesh is corrupt and flesh is enmity to god . But the heart is the critical thing , because the heart is saved , not the flesh . We've got to understand that the flesh doesn't get into glory , because the Bible clearly tells us one thing , and one thing's for sure that this earth suit will return .
Speaker 1As it says in the book of Genesis , when someone is laid to rest , it is very obvious , as the scripture says ashes to ashes , dust to dust . So we have a heavenly body , a body that is free from pain , a body that is free from anxiety , a body that is free from pain , a body that is free from anxiety , a body that is free from stress , a body that is free from wheelchairs , from cancers , from sickness and disease , a body that is completely well . You know , when we leave this earth you know even a twinkling of an eye you'll be with me in paradise . Thank god , thank god that when we get to glory that this earth suit , that this body that carries pain , this body that is crippled , this body that is almost useless to a certain degree , this body that suffers all these attributes of being a human being , thank goodness that this human earth suit stays on this earth and it disintegrates and it goes into the earth . That's why it says disintegrates and it goes into the earth . That's why it says from the earth we came the earth we shall return .
Speaker 1When you look at the scripture , god created man from the dust of the earth and God said let's make man in our likeness . God does not have an earth suit . So when you look at Christ , we could say well , christ does to a degree . Yes , he does to a degree , because the Bible says the man , christ Jesus . So Christ has flesh on the skeletal , he has blood running through his veins . We understand that he has DNA . We understand that he is in the likeness of himself .
Speaker 1When you study Christ Christology is a great thing to study you study a man that never lifted a hand to the world . He never jumped in the arena with any area of physicality , he never punched , he never kicked , he never rebelled as in physical fighting . He just used the power of voice . He used the power of the spoken word Because he is the light of the world . The light of the world is the living word .
Speaker 1So when you look at what god said in genesis , chapter 1 , round about verse 3 , see what it says for yourself . Do not allow yourself , uh , just uh , for me to say what it is . Get yourself a bible and find the scripture reference for yourself genesis , chapter 1 , verse 3 . And god said let there be light . He did not create anything else but light first . First was the first physical creation from the uh , the physicality , from the spiritual realm , into this , this physical place that we live .
Speaker 1We understand that there are dimensions and we see this dimension in which we walk in , in which we live , in which we operate , in which we move in . There is a dimension that is around us , but there is another dimension that we understand . It is the spiritual world . That cannot be seen by the natural eye and it can only be accessed sorry , it's only accessible by faith . Sorry , it's only accessible by faith . We understand that faith and by being born again , because Christ said to Nicodemus in that beautiful scripture , john 3 , 3 , nicodemus , you must be born again .
Speaker 1I cannot . How can I be ? How can I move up this transient route ? How can I disappear back into my mother's womb ? I am an adult . It is an impossibility . That cannot happen . Jesus , how can this be ? Jesus says you're born from above . You know , born again means to be born from above . You are born from above , you are born from the heavenly realms , you are born from God . You have been created by God , for God , for his goodwill and his good pleasure .
Speaker 1We are sorry about the pixelating on the visuals tonight . There is nothing that we can do about that , but it is the audible that is critical . Just grab yourself a coffee or a cup of tea , throw your slippers on , throw your legs on that sofa and just sit back and listen to what God is saying . God is telling you that there is light living within you . Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world . The power of God is living within you tonight and the power of God is a few things , but we're looking at salvation and we are looking at light . Light cannot be crushed by darkness . Light cannot be pushed out by darkness . Darkness can be crushed by light and darkness can be pushed out by light , but darkness cannot supersede and it cannot arch over the power of light . It cannot do that .
Speaker 1When you look at Genesis chapter 1 and you study creation , it's very , very easy and it's very , very clear to see that God done a great work out of the darkness of space . Let's use the word space , let's use the word of just of nothing . You know , when you look at Genesis chapter one , god brought , god brought the world , god brought creation from an out of darkness . God does his great work in dark places . God does his great work when he pulls someone from the darkness into the light . He pulled the world out of this dark , invisible substance . He pulled the glory and the power . He pulled creation out of the darkness and he said let there be light . So light was spoken out of the darkness of existence . We can't imagine what it was like at the very beginning of time . But god created light first . There is a reason why he wanted to create light first and if you was to study genesis and if you was to study creation , we understand that that god created light first and then darkness was in existence . But further , through the scripture , it says that god separated light from darkness . There was a separation . What was he telling us ? He was telling us through the text that he brought into existence , through the living word of gen . He was telling us that light cannot be equated and cannot be connected to darkness , because darkness is on the other side of the cross . So we have to look at this .
Genesis is talking spiritually as well as physically , as well as quantum physics , as well as mathematics , as well as creation . The word of god is telling us that god said let there be light . And there was . You could look at that and you could unpack that you could ravel that without going , uh , too far off the peg of what the word is . God says in genesis , chapter 1 , verse 3 . God said let there be light . And there was . You know . Jesus says I am the light of the world . So God is not only creating this physical attribute of this physicality of this world in which we live and which we run our and we move our lives through , this very physical world . We are living this physical world because he brought us into the physical world .
Speaker 1The Bible says that he knew you before the fabric of time , before creation . He said before the world was formed , I knew you , I created you , I formed you in your mother's womb , before your mother , before that generation , before generation , before generation . I created you , I formed you and I put you in a consistent line . I knew that line . When that line would come into pass , when your mother would bring you out through that vehicle of that body that I created , that she would bring you into the world . It wasn't your father and your mother that had the skill , through the biological processing , to bring you into the world . It is the living word of God .
Speaker 1You are here because of Jesus Christ . You are not here because of some family tree . You are not here because your mother and father got together . You are here because your mother and father were put together because of Christ , put them in your life , but you was here before the foundation of the world and God was with you . You was here before the foundation of the world and God was with you . So , when you look at the scriptures , you are here not because of a father's will , because of a mother's will . You are here because of the existence of the father's will , not of an earthly father , but of the heavenly father . You are here because of his unconditional love . You may be brought into an unusual family . You might have been brought into an unusual family . You might have been brought into an unusual existence , but God brought you here .
Speaker 1No matter how you look and how much you unpack that and how much you analyze that , god brought you in and God will take us out . He brings us in and he brings us out . You know he is the creator of heaven and earth . And let's get back to the word of God . And we are in Genesis , chapter one , verse three . And God said let there be light . So we understand that God is speaking through the rhema word , through the spoken word , we understand that God is speaking the power of speech , he is speaking the power of creation through the word of God . So when you look at this scripture and God said let there be light , do we think that could we possibly just stretch our minds a moment ? Do we think or do we ask God , god , are you speaking a little bit more deeper than just what the fabric of that word says ? Lord , do you want to take us a bit further ? Can you reveal more through that text ?
Speaker 1Genesis , chapter 1 , verse 3 . And God said because there is power in speaking , there is power in light . And God said let there be light . Jesus says I am the envelope of the text and we could just look inside that envelope of the word and say I just wonder if God was not only speaking the world into creation , but he was letting creation know that there is something greater than the natural light that we see . Was he letting the world know that Jesusesus christ , through the spoken word , is coming into existence ? He said let there be light . And there was . Jesus is extremely clear through his scripture , through himself , because he is the living word . And he said and I'm repeating myself for a certain reason this evening , because we all rest and we all listen at certain times and there are many online tonight . God said let there be light , and there was . I believe that God was using that metaphor of a physical attribute of light to let the world know that Jesus is coming . He said let there be light , and there was . And he is speaking light into the darkness . Jesus , what was Jesus and what is his ultimate role ? He is the saviour of the world . The world is dark and the light came into the world because Jesus is the light of the world .
Speaker 1If you have a living word we're in front of you tonight Turn to the Gospel of John and you will find such power and authority in the living word of God . And when you look at John , chapter 1 , verse 1 , in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God . We get that there is a woven , that there is a gluing , that it is unable to separate God from the word , word from God , jesus from God , jesus from word . There is a move , a transient move , there is a lift , there is a move of the word of God . That cannot be separated , you know , but God separated light from darkness . We understand that as you read through Genesis , that God saw and God created and God spoke . But there comes a point when God said let there be light . And there was , and I actually believe God was speaking the physical world into being , but also he was letting us know that Jesus was on his way .
Speaker 1When you look further down the timeline of creation , the Bible says that God saw light and darkness and he separated that light from darkness . This is exactly what the cross does , this is exactly what the blood of Jesus does , this is exactly what the living word does . So you can understand when you look through revelational knowledge and God reveals the word and you explore creation , and God said let there be light , and light was thrusted into existence . And when Mary pushed on that last push and the savior of the world popped out of that transit route not a transit , not a full transit , but I'm referring to the transit route of the mother's womb , when Jesus was popped out into the arms of Mary , when she wrapped him up in swaddling clothes , it's interesting that what stood in the dark sky over Bethlehem ? What stood out ? What was there ? It was the star . It was a bright star . So brightness and light is greater than darkness .
Speaker 1So when you look at light , when you look at light and you study light through the living word of God , where you find light , light is more powerful , obviously , than darkness . That when Christ popped out of that beautiful Mary as she gave birth and she gave one great push and he came out , the living word became flesh . Let's refer to the scripture . That is a greater way to present what the word is saying . So when you look in the Gospel of John , chapter 1 , verse 14 , and it says the Word became flesh , the Word became the Word came into existence , light came into the world . So not only do we have Genesis , chapter 1 , speaking of the physical attribute of light that may be through stars , that may be through light itself , that may be through the moon , through the sun , that might be referring to many areas of light , but it is also referring to Jesus Christ . You know we might touch the boards of unfamiliar teachings and theological understandings , but we have to look beyond the fabric of what we have been taught before , that Jesus through the living word , the God , the heaven and earth , the creator .
Speaker 1When you look at Genesis 1 , verse 3 , it is fascinating that God created light . First he created light , first he spoke . The spoken word brought light in , and then the spoken word brought light in , and then the spoken word brought light in again . When do we see this ? We see this in the birth , in the coming of the king . We see this when Mary pushed that final push . We see light again , the light of our salvation . So when we look at these scriptures and when we really ask god to get to reveal that's what we got to say we say god , reveal the living word . So remind ourselves that genesis , chapter 1 , verse 3 , and god said let there be light . So light was accelerated from darkness into darkness and suddenly we find that light is an explosion and suddenly light is greater than darkness .
Speaker 1And when Christ came into the world as the sacrificial lamb and as you look in the Gospel of John , chapter 1 , verse 14 , and the Word became flesh , so the Word became flesh , but the word is the light of the world . So this is the second time that we see that light is an explosive reaction to the darkness . You know , when you look at what is happening , there was darkness at the time of Christ's entrance into the world and so we can look at that and say Jesus says I am the light of the world and the gates of hell and darkness cannot prevail . He is the light , he is the king of kings and he is the Lord of lords . So we understand that God brought the physical light and also God gave us the spiritual light . So you find from Genesis and then you find in John Genesis is the physical speech of the eternal God that God brings . God brings light through the physical realms . And then in the Gospel of John , chapter 1 , we clearly see that God brings through Christ Jesus , through the dressing room of Mary . We find that God brings the spiritual light , yes , as long and as well as the physical . It says the , the word became flesh and made his dwelling , that the light of the world lived amongst us . So there is two very important points , two very important pivotal points of the word of god genesis , chapter 1 , verse 3 , and the Gospel of John , chapter 1 , verse 14 .
Speaker 1It talks about the word coming in and the word , the spoken word . Word is critical , word is light , word is power . If you are in trouble , if you are fearful , speak the living word over the darkness that may be around you . So back to the scripture , psalm 27 , verse 1 . The Lord is the light and my salvation . The Lord is my light , depending what translation you're reading from . The Lord is my light and my salvation . Whom shall I fear ? The Lord is the stronghold of my life . Of whom shall I be afraid ? It's interesting , isn't it , that he speaks about fear and he talks about being afraid . We see that they are connected . Fear and being afraid is connected , but there's a difference and there is a different understanding from fear and from being afraid . Excuse me , my voice is giving out , but we are coming to that critical point within this time where we will break bread and we'll take out a cup . Wherever you are , just remember that the light of the world is living within you . The power of the Holy Spirit is with you , wherever you are at this moment in time . You might be lonely , you might be fearful , you might be doubtful , you might be struggling . You might be doubtful , you might be struggling , you might be stressed , you might be exhausted from living the greatness of the living word .
Speaker 1So we have genesis , chapter 1 , verse 3 , and god said let there be light . And light was thrusted into the world . Science is trying to measure light , science is trying to work light out . Science is trying to keep up with light , the acceleration of light . You know you can't control light and you can't control the word of god . You cannot box the word in and you cannot control light . Light is impossible to gauge , to measure , to work out . There is only certain areas of light that we will understand . It is always superseding , it is accelerating beyond human understanding . Light is so powerful , god is so powerful , jesus is so powerful and you carry the light of the world .
Speaker 1The Bible says let your light shine . Let your light shine , let the word of God shine , let the glory shine in your workspace , in your life , in your family , in every area of your life . Let your light shine . You are an ambassador for the eternal God . Do not allow the world to crush you , do not allow any situation to hold you back . Press in and never give up . There is power , there is glory and the Holy Spirit is with you wherever you are . We're coming to the table in just a few moments and I pray that the fire of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit will carry you across this earth and you will realize who you are in Christ Jesus , not within oneself , not within the skin that we walk in , not within the life that we live in , but we will recognize who we are through the eternal word that we are blessed and highly favored , wonderfully and fearfully made . That the power of the Holy Ghost is with you . Whatever you are facing , do not be afraid . Whatever you are going through , do not be fearful of the situation . The Bible says in Psalm 23 , that great Psalm , even though I walk through , just remember our life is just a walk through , we are walking through . Many might spend hours in the understanding of life as we walk through Psalm 23 . Some seem to get just a little quick , psalm 23 . Some seem to get loads of it . You know , just keep walking , never give up .
Speaker 1The Bible says the steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord , god's plan over your life . Jeremiah 29 , verse 11 . For I know the plans I have for you , declares the Lord . Plans to give you hope of future , plans not to harm you , but plans to take you to a place . Plans to give you a hope , a future plans , not to harm you , but plans to take you to a place , plans to give you a place , plans to accelerate you to a place . What God has for you ? Have we really explored what God has for me and you ? Have we really explored what the living Father has for each and every one of us ? Have we looked into the scripture and said Lord , I want all the promises . Lord , I want every word . Lord , I want everything in your word . I want your power , your glory , your mercy . Lord , will you strip me back of flesh ? Will you strip me back of self ? Lord , will you carry me to my destination ? Will you carry me to the place ? Will you carry me through the word of God ? Let's not live our lives by fear and doubt . Let's live our lives by the power of the word of god .
If you're with me , wherever you are scattered across the world , whether you're joining me through uh , visuals or audible , whether you're listening to this as a podcast , whether you're watching this through this really bad , you know broadcast that . You know we got a bit of bit of quite a few things going on within the camera system tonight , but we're not worried about visuals . You know we just want to hear what God has to say to each and every one of us . But wherever you are situated , can you grab yourself just a bit of bread ? Can yourself a bit of grape juice , whatever you may have . And as we just gather ourselves around the table of remembrance , as we may have , and as we just gather ourselves around the table of remembrance , as we gather our thoughts , as we just be still and we know that he is the King of Kings and he is the Lord of Lords , I pray that the fire of God and the presence of God and the Holy Spirit and his love and his mercy will just radiate over you , that you will feel his presence , his mercy , forever .
Speaker 1Father , as we gather as Bible-believing believers , as we gather around the scriptures , we gather around the Passover table . Father , for these last few minutes of this service , father , these last 10 minutes , will you speak very clearly to each and every one of us ? Will you open our hearts , will you open our minds , lord , will you bring us to a place of rest in christ ? Jesus ? God is with you , the spirit of god is over you , the power of the holy spirit is with you tonight and I pray that you will find rest for your heart , your mind will stability , the love of God will strengthen you . But , father , we thank you for this bread as it symbolizes the body of Christ . And tonight , lord , will you strengthen us tonight , lord , will you bring peace tonight , lord , will you bring that place ? Lord of rest as we come to you , lord , as we rest , as we be still .
