Speaker 2Here we go , we're in in .
Speaker 2God bless you wherever you are this evening . May god uh carry you and lead you , because here we go . We just want to say thank you to everybody across the world , everybody that's um online with us through this broadcast at this moment in time . You know the lord is with each and every one of us and we pray that you will find healing and you will find peace in the arms of Christ . You know God is with you and we just want to let you know this evening that God has chosen you .
Speaker 2I think it's really important , I really feel that the Lord is leading us to go back over a few things . You know , I think it's really important that we just go back over a few scriptures . We're going to go 11 , verse 27 . If you have a Bible , grab yourself a Bible . Turn to Matthew , chapter 11 , verse 27 . We're going to go to the book of Ephesians also , and we're going to pick up in Ephesians , chapter 1 , and we'll pick up from verse 4 , and we'll just see where we go . I just want to let you know tonight that you are chosen , that you are blessed , that God is with you in all things and all things are possible to those who believe you know God has chosen you , god is calling you , you know the hand of the Lord is over your life , within you and around you and there's nothing to be fearful of because you have been chosen for salvation . You have been chosen to walk eternally in the heavenly realms with God and he is with you and there's nothing to be fearful of regarding salvation . I know the Bible says work out your salvation with fear and trembling , and I really believe for everybody that's capturing our voice and seeing everything online and that's with us across the world . I really believe it's something really special for us to know that God has chosen and we thank God that he has chosen that it's not by our strength , but it's by the word , it's by his presence , by his love , and you have been called and I just want to just refresh our memories , if we can , this evening .
Speaker 2You know verse 27 of Luke chapter , not Luke Matthew . What am I talking about ? I'm ahead of myself . I'm about 10 minutes ahead of myself . So we're in Matthew , chapter 11 , and we're in verse 27 .
Speaker 2Let's start it there . So , wherever you are , we thank God that you're following us , that you're with us , you're online , you're on Buzzsprout , you're on Spotify , you're on iHeartRadio if you're in America , and we thank God for your support and everything that's going on . And throughout the world and throughout the globe , it's really important that we share this stuff out and we push this out . But God is with each and every one of you and I want to let you know that you're not alone . You're not alone . God is with you and he chose you and you are saved .
Speaker 2And let's get straight into the scripture , verse 27 . And it says All things have been committed to me by the Father . No one knows the Son except the Father . No one knows the Father except the Son . And this is the last bit that I think is really important for me tonight I don't know where you are with your life . I don't know where you are with your walk with God . But you know , I just need to refresh myself with this .
Speaker 2I think it's really important for each and every one of us to know what Christ is saying through the Father , what the Father is saying through the Son . And it simply says there the Father accepts the Son through each , and it says the Son has chosen to reveal . So let's just refresh ourselves in that , in verse 27 . It says all things have been committed to me by my father . No one knows the son except the father and no one knows the father except the son and those to whom the son has chosen to reveal himself .
Speaker 2You know , christ is revealing himself to you tonight . Christ is revealing his love , his mercy , his sovereignty , his power , his word . Salvation has been revealed to you , salvation has been given . You know , if you have a bible , go to john 3 3 . You must be born again . That beautiful text that we , that we spend so much time in lately . John 3 , 3 . You must be born again . Beautiful bit of text , really , really , really important . You know that we understand that salvation has come from God and God alone , from the triune , godhead that we serve , father , son , holy Spirit , that you are saved because of the power of the Word , because of the love of God , the power of the Holy Spirit , and you are blessed and highly favored .
Speaker 2And just because we're in the silly season , we're in the crazy season , we're ramping up for tinsel , christianity , christmas and all that sort of stuff . You know , just remember who you are in Christ . Just remember who you are in Christ and this is the God that we serve , this is the son that we serve . The son has been given . We are at that time , you know , and the world is getting ready in certain areas . You know , know it's very interesting to see that , even through commercialization , christmas and the things that are going on around the world , you know , christmas is starting to be pushed on the back burner now . It's not lit up as much as it was . You are starting to see a different stretch now
.
Speaker 2But we got to remind ourselves that the living word is alive and the living word is living in your spirit , living in your heart . The living word is over you , the living word is around you . You are healed and I pray , by the power of god and and the love of christ , that you will feel that healing , that you will feel the love of god in your spirit and you won't never give up , that you will press in and you will hold on to the scripture because it has been revealed . The son is revealing who . He chooses to reveal what , what comes first ? He reveals salvation . He reveals John 3.3 . He reveals the love of God , he reveals the power of the Holy Spirit . He reveals and wherever you are at this hour , we pray that you will feel the love of God , the power of the Holy Spirit , that you will know that the living word of god is with you and you are blessed and highly favored , wonderfully and fearfully made .
Speaker 2Let me read verse 27 of that gospel reading again and we're in the gospel of matthew , chapter 11 , verse 27 . And it says all things have been committed to me by my father . So everything has been given to christ the power , the authority , the beginning , father . So everything has been given to Christ the power , the authority , the beginning , from the end . Everything has been given to God , everything has been given to Christ , everything has been given . I said God and I mean God and I mean Jesus , because it goes round in its continuum . God gives himself everything . Jesus gives himself everything through him , through the living word . It can be a bit of a minefield when you start looking at all this sort of stuff , and I pray that you will just hold on to the living word of God tonight and realize that salvation has been given to you , power has been given to you . Hang on , what do you mean ? Power ? Does that make me a superhuman ? No , what I mean by that ? Power ?
Speaker 2To speak the gospel of Jesus Christ in your workspace , over your life , in every area of the circles of life that you walk , that there is power of the living God that is living within you . You know you are blessed and highly favored . You are saved . The glory of God is sitting over you and Jesus Christ loves you . And it has been given . Everything has been given . Salvation has been given . You know redemption has been given . Everything has been given . Salvation has been given . You know redemption has been given . Hope has been given . Favor has been given , love has been given the . The seed of faith , the size of a mustard seed , has been given to you . The glory of god has been revealed to you . The power has been given to you . Everything has been given to you the father , the son , the holy spirit . And when we say being given , it has been revealed . Everything has to the Father , the Son , the Holy Spirit , and when we say been given , it has been revealed . Everything has to be revealed , everything has to be given as a revealing moment .
Speaker 2And as you look at these scriptures , verse 27, . All things have been committed to me by my Father . Everything , through authority , has been given to Christ , everything has been committed , everything has been handed over . So when you look at salvation and you look at the love of god and the power of the holy spirit . The sovereignty , justification , redemption and everything has been given to christ by the father , uh , in the heavenly realms . But also we understand that the father is omnipresent , omnipotent . He is in all , he's about all and he is in every area of our lives . God is with you and god has given his son , and he has given his son in many , many ways . He has given him his salvation , he has given us hope , he has given us the power , the holy spirit . So when you look at verse 27 , it says all things have been committed to me by my father . No one knows the son . I find this so powerful . No one knows the son except the father and no one knows the father except the son and those to whom the son , we are the , to whom we are .
Speaker 2That reference , that scripture reference . We are the whom you know you have been . You are the born again whom . You are , the one that scripture reference . We are the , the whom you know you have been . You are the born again whom . You are , the one that has been chosen . You are the one that god , through christ , has decided to give you salvation to be revealing his word to you . You didn't go into church and you didn't hear it preached across the pulpit . Then you decided to have that God revealed that through his son , because all power , all authority has been committed and given to Christ from God . And that includes salvation , that includes justification , that includes redemption and hope . Sovereignty and power has been given to Christ through God . Because it very clearly tells us that in the Word of God and when you look at that scripture , the son to whom he chooses .
Speaker 2Now , if you're with me , turn to the book of Ephesians . If we go to Ephesians , it will just literally concrete and it will just cement everything in place that we've been reading . And if you have a Bible and you look in Ephesians , chapter one , verse four , it says for he chose us . So not only did he choose us , not only has it been given , not only has it been revealed , but he chose . There are many biblical references that we could keep turning over and over and over again .
Speaker 2Because he chose . He chose you in sonship , he chose you in predestination , he chose you in redemption . He chose you in predestination , he chose you in redemption , he chose you before the foundation of the world . And when you look at these scriptures , this is so glorious , this is so powerful that salvation sits outside of the hands of the preacher , the evangelist , the church , the mega church , the small church , the religion . It sits outside of the framework of everything and it sits in the hands of God through Christ Jesus .
Speaker 2Because , when you understand the Gospels , god is Christ , christ is God , the Spirit of God is with Jesus , the Spirit of God is Jesus , god is the Spirit . It is all interwoven and it just blends beautifully the rhythm of the holy God that we serve . Father , son , holy Spirit . They're interwoven , they move together . You cannot separate , nothing can separate Father , son , holy Spirit . Yes , we understand that .
Speaker 2There is a clear scripture references where we see the individual divinity and the divine power of God moving through the Holy Spirit , moving through Christ and moving through the Father . We understand that because there are scriptural reference points that mark us and tell us that . But also we know that you cannot separate the Spirit of God , the Word of God , jesus Christ . You cannot separate the Father , even though that you might go to the New Testament and say , yeah , well , what happened when Christ died on the cross ? And it says the Father , separated , turned his face . That is something that is completely different , but we don't have time to unpack that and bring that into the wording tonight . We're just looking , very simply , that you was chosen , I was chosen , every one of us was chosen around . Very simply , that you was chosen , I was chosen , every one of us was chosen . Around the table . You was chosen online .
Speaker 2Wherever you are in your life , god is choosing you and god has chosen you for salvation . Because the bible tells us , for he chose us in him , in him , where , where . Who is this him ? Who is this ? This him that he's talking about ? The hymn can't be anything else but Jesus , because when you use the word he or him , you are referring to the masculine line of a human being and you are referring to a male and you are referring to Jesus Christ as the living word . So that gives us .
Speaker 2There is evidence very clearly just within a few lines , in within a few words in Ephesians , chapter 1 , verse 4 , for he , there we go , chose us in him so straight in the second word , and then , as you go on a little bit further for he chose us in him before the creation of the world , to be what , to be holy , blameless in his sight in love . So everything has been chosen . We have been chosen in love , we have been chosen in sovereignty and power and redemption . You know the love of God is so powerful . The love of God arches over everything . Perfect love drives out fear . The love of God drives out fear . You know , and I pray for you tonight .
Speaker 2If you're living in fear , if you're living in worry , you're living in doubt , you're living in uncertainty , you will just feel the love of God , power of the holy spirit , this triune godhead , father , son and holy spirit . You know that are interwoven , that you cannot separate . But you find the father , you find the son and you find the holy ghost , walking and moving and and seamlessly together . You know , when you see that , you know jesus , I will not leave you as orphans , I will send the counselor , the Holy Spirit . Do we realize that we are full of the Holy Spirit , that we are full of word , that we are full of the Father ? So if I'm full of the Holy Spirit and you're full of the Holy Spirit and you're full of Christ and we're full of God , we have this deity . We have the Father , the Son , the Holy Spirit living in each and every one of us . But you have been chosen . You was chosen .
Speaker 2God did not choose any other way to do this . He didn't choose the church to reveal himself , he chose the fabric of the scriptures . So when you look at the scripture , this can be absolutely mind-blowing . It can it can literally flatten science . It can destroy the way the mind thinks , the body thinks , the way life thinks itself . You know just physics itself . When you look at all this stuff , this is just atheists would scream at this when they see this .
Speaker 2For it says in verse 4 of ephesians , chapter 1 for he chose us in him before the creation of the world , to be holy , to be blameless in his sight , in no one else's sight , but in the sight of god , in the sight of the holy ghost and in the sight of jesus christ . You were chosen before the fabric of the world , before . God said let there be light . We are going back over stuff . We are just asking god that he will reveal this stuff to us and I believe that when we say we're going back over it , it is the Holy Spirit speaking very clear and the Holy Spirit is saying something . What is the Holy Spirit saying ? He's saying what the gospel says to us that the Holy Spirit will reveal things that the Holy Spirit will lead us .
Speaker 2And if you look in the Old Testament , in the book of Joshua , it says meditate on my word day and night . So often , and seasonal , we may visit certain scriptures , we may speak about the same scripture service after service . It's because we are meditating and we are grazing on that word . We are just grazing on the word . We are meditating on the word , we are looking at that word . We're staying in that scripture for a while . We're in John 3 , 3 . We're in Ephesians , chapter 1 . We're in the Gospel of Matthew .
Speaker 2You know , the word of God is so powerful that we need to meditate . The Bible says meditate on the word of God day and night . Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth . You know , we've got to keep this word . We've got to keep this word on our lips , the to keep this word on our lips . The Bible says your word is like honey to my lips . The word of God is precise , it is powerful , it is to the point .
Speaker 2And you are a Bible-believing believer . You are that , john 3.3 . You are born again and the power sits outside of the framework of your skill set , of your mind of the way that you live , the way that you plan , the way that you focus . It sits outside of your humanity and it sits in the realms of the spiritual realm that God has given you salvation . It wasn't the bishop , it wasn't the priest , it wasn't the pastor , it wasn't the leader , it wasn't the church . God chose you before the church even came into existence .
When you look at the church , as we understand , the church has only been birthed since the book of Acts , chapter 2 . We've had religion all the way through . We have the synagogues , we have all that stuff that goes on . But the birth of the church of Jesus Christ only happened after the cross of Calvary , with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts , chapter 2 . The church was not before the cross of Calvary , with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts , chapter 2 . The church was not before the cross of Calvary , because Jesus Christ is the church , he is the head of the church , he is the cornerstone . So when Jesus Christ gave up his life on the cross of Calvary , what happened ? Yes , we understand that humanity had the gift of salvation and that gift had been given through Christ and he was given the authority from god . Because that's what we read in the the gospel of matthew , chapter 11 . But when we look at what it says in verse 4 , it says for he chose us in him .
Speaker 2You was chosen not in religion . You was chosen in the king . You was chosen in the saviors and in the father's heart . You was chosen . In the god of israel . You was chosen in him . You was chosen in the savior of the world . You was chosen in the son . You was chosen in him , through him and by him and for him you was chosen .
Speaker 2Just the concept of that scripture literally can throw us off point for a while . Our minds and our process and our thinking and our understanding cannot get to grips when you really think about that scripture . It says for he chose us in him . You was chosen in him , not outside of him , but you was chosen in him . You was chosen in his plans . You was chosen in his thought . You was chosen in the word . You was chosen in him . He was chosen in his plans . He was chosen in his thought . He was chosen in the word . He was chosen in the dialogue . He was chosen before the stars were put . In the heavenly realms he was chosen before he put the sun in the sky and the moon that revolves . He chose you before anything else , over all things . That can be so difficult for humanity to grasp , that can be so difficult for the human being to work out , that can be so difficult that you was chosen before you was birthed into the world . You was chosen , your family was chosen , everything . Go all the way back through your chronology , chronology , chronology . Come on , get it out chronological , chronological timeline of your family . You was chosen before all that . You was chosen before the family tree put you into position . You was chosen before the fabric of time , when you look at that verse . For he chose us , for he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight and love . He predestined oh , here we go . Predestination again . Uh , pre , pre , planning , pre-focusing , pre-pushing , pre-hoping . He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through christ jesus . So everything is through , everything is in , everything is around , everything is is in , everything is around , everything is for . So everything was predestined , everything was forechosen . Predestination . We know what that means . It was beforehand . It was already signed off . He was already signed off , he was already signed in . So look at the power of these scriptures . He says he predestined verse 5 of Ephesians , chapter 1 , he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Christ Jesus , in accordance with his pleasure and his will , to the praise of his glorious riches depending what you're reading from which he has freely given us in the one . He loves us and it says in him we have redemption . So verse 7 verse 7 he's talking about salvation . In him we have redemption . Through his blood you are redeemed . You have been bought , you have been brought in . And when you , when I say you have been bought , you have been bought with a price , and the price was the blood of Jesus . You were bought in before the creation of the world . God was thinking of you before . God said let there be light before the creation of the world . So when you put all this stuff together and you bring all this stuff to the forefront of your mind and you look at what's going on here , you know God created you before the foundation of the world . He was more interested in you than what he created . Through the power of his voice he brought you into existence . Here we go , let's pick it up in verse 7 of Ephesians , chapter 1 . In him we have redemption through his blood , forgiveness of sin in accordance with the riches of his grace . That is just so powerful . That is just so powerful . Verse 7 of Ephesians , chapter 1 . In him we have redemption through his blood . Everything has been done and will be done through the blood of Jesus . Nothing can be done without the blood of Jesus . No redemption can be done without the blood . Everything is done with the blood . The blood is critical . We are washed in the blood , the crimson tide . By the blood of Jesus , we have been redeemed , we have been set free . The riches of his grace , the riches of his mercy , the love and grace , you know grace abounds . You have so much grace over your life . You have so much love over your life . You have so much forgiveness over you , within you and around you , because christ has forgiven each and every one of us . He loves us unconditionally , unconditional love . Verse 7 in him we have redemption through his blood and forgiveness of sin in accordance with the riches of his grace that he lavished on us . Look what that says , for god lavished that on us with all wisdom and understanding , uh , and . And he making known to uh the mystery of his will in accordance with his good pleasure , uh , which he purposed in christ to be put into effect when the times will have reached each fulfillment , to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head , even Christ . In him you are also chosen Again . In verse 11 it says In him you are also chosen , having been predestined according to the plan of him , who works out everything in conformity with his purpose , of his will , in order that we who were the first to hope in christ might be for the praise of his glory . And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth the redemption of those who . God's possession and peace has come upon you , to the praise of his glory . The promise of the Holy Spirit you have been sealed with the Holy Spirit . You have been promised the Holy Ghost , and that promise has been been fulfilled . When does the promise of the Holy Spirit be fulfilled in any human being ? Is it when God calls us unto salvation ? Because God calls us to salvation . God calls us , god delivers us , god rescues us , god saves us . You have been sealed with the power of the word . You have been sealed with the Holy Spirit . You have been sealed with the blood of Jesus . God's hand is over you . The power of God is with you , wherever you are tonight . God loves you unconditionally . There is nothing too big , nothing too powerful . There is nothing outside of the framework of the Holy Spirit . There is nothing outside of God , there is nothing outside of Christ , there is nothing outside of the word that is too big for God to handle . When you think about creation , when you think about chosen , when you think about predestined , when you think about predestinational places that God will get us to , there are markers in your life that God will get you to , no matter what the world is saying about you . God has a plan for your life and we're going to come to the table in just a few moments . We're going to come to the table in a few moments and I pray that , wherever you are situated tonight , that you will feel the love of God and come to that realizing of that understanding that salvation is outside of the concept , outside of the handling , outside of the church . It's away from . It's away from the church , it's away from religion , it's outside of the parameters of preaching , it is outside of the preacher , it is outside of the evangelist . It can only be given to whom God decides to give through Christ Jesus , the Good Shepherd . So when you look at this , this is all woven together , that that is the greatest safeguard on the planet earth , that God gives it to Jesus . Jesus reveals it to the human being and salvation has been revealed to you . So , wherever you are at this hour , salvation and the word of God has been revealed through the redemption plan , through the power of the Holy Spirit , and the Holy Spirit has sealed you . You have been sealed . There are no demonic forces in your life . There are no demonic forces within you and in that skin that you walk in , because the power of God has sealed you , sealed you up tight . The love of God has sealed you . The spirit of God has sealed you . The blood of Jesus has washed you . The spirit of god has sealed you . The blood of jesus has washed you . You are in redemption . You are always being redeemed . We are always going for redemption . We are always going through the power of god . We are always going through the refiner's fire and as we come to the table in just a few moments , I pray that you will feel the fire of god and the power of the Holy Spirit . You'll know that his Redeemer lives and because he lives , we can face tomorrow , wherever you are across this earth . Tonight I pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal more of his word to you . I pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal more of his presence to you . I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you in paths of righteousness . I pray that the Holy Spirit , he will and he has and he will continue to lead you through Psalm 23 . I pray that , wherever you are , if you are in Psalm 23 and you're going for a valley , that you will feel the love of God and the power of the redemption word of Jesus Christ . And I just ask God tonight Lord , will you reveal yourself to each and every one of us ? Will you reveal yourself through the sovereign plan that you have ? Will you reveal yourself through the power of the grace that is over us ? Will you reveal yourself because of the glory , through the power of the Holy Spirit ? You know , holy , holy is the Lord most worthy of all praise . God loves you . God loves you and he chose you . I have just quickly rambled over this tonight through this podcast , through this sermon , through this reading . Whatever way we look at it , you know God has chosen you . We can't escape the fact , the biblical fact of the scriptures , that you have been chosen . You have been chosen not by your father , by your mother , not by your team leader , not by your pastor , not by your church . You have been chosen by the god that said let there be light . And he gave that authority to his son . When his son come to the earth and his son is himself . You know , we understand through the scripture in the Gospel of John . It is very , very clear , very , very clear . And you look at the Gospel of John , chapter 1 , verse 1 . In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God . He was with God in the beginning . You know , it's clear , it's fact , it's biblical , foundational understanding and teaching that God chose you and he has revealed all things to you . That's when we suddenly enter into that position and that posture of where that word comes in , of free will . I have the free will to follow him . I don't have the free will to reject him , because he chose . When he chose , he gave and you can't give back what the gift giver has given . He has given you salvation , whether we like it or whether we don't like it , whatever way you want to look at it . It has been given and the power of God has been given to you . The love of God has been given to you , the spirit of God has been given to you . Salvation has been given to you . Redemption has been given to you . Hope has been given to you . Redemption has been given to you . Hope has been given to you . Brother and sister , we're coming to the table right now in the name of jesus , right now in the name of jesus . So , father , we thank you that this bread symbolizes the body of christ . And as we break this bread together right now , in jesus name , father , let your glory come , let your power be revealed across the earth . Take us into a deeper walk with you , lord . We want to walk with Christ , we want to run with Christ , we want to be still with Christ . So , as we break bread together tonight , lord , we thank you for the love of Jesus , the love of Jesus that has come from the love of god . And as we break this bread , father , bless this bread as it symbolizes your body that was broken for us . Father , we thank you that we are born again , that we are spirit filled , that the hand of god is over us . And as we come to the table . Lord , just reveal yourself , god . Reveal yourself , holy spirit , reveal yourself , father , reveal yourself , jesus . Bring your glory to our lives tonight , lord , just switch us , turn us . Reveal to us , lord , bring us to the table . Bless this bread that represents the body of Christ in Jesus name . Amen . The body of Christ In Jesus' name , amen . Hallelujah . Wonderful God , holy Spirit , come Jesus , reveal Yourself , pour out your Spirit . Come Jesus , reveal yourself , pour out your spirit , lord . Come on , jesus , pour out your glory across everyone , online , everyone across the world , tonight , in the world of podcasts . Reveal yourself , jesus , at home , driving home from work , sitting on the edge of bed , wherever we are . Reveal yourself , jesus , at home , driving home from work , sitting on the edge of bed , wherever we are . Reveal yourself , jesus . Wrap us up in that love . You chose us , god . We didn't choose you . We didn't write the book . You wrote the book . We didn't give salvation to you . You brought salvation to us . You brought yourself to us . You created us for your purpose , your will , your pleasure . So bless this cup . Cleanse us from the crown of our head to the soul of our feet . Thank you for the redemption , the redemption plan of salvation . Cleanse us , lord , in the mighty name of Jesus , amen , hallelujah . Cleansed by the blood Redeemed by the Crimson , tide Free because of the cross of Calvary . The scriptures have been fulfilled . The glory , the power , the anointing , the love , the living word was given to you . Salvation was given through Christ Jesus , because he decided , he decided to be revealed to you . He is the one that decided , not the pastors , not the bishops , not the church , but God , through his son , has been given to you . Wherever you are across the other side of the world , jesus has been revealed to you . There is no power in our skin that we walk in to understand this stuff . Every , every word is revealed . Everything is revealed , everything is given . It's like god opened up an envelope . He opens up the envelope and he gently pulls the stuff out and he reads this letter over your life . And God says I love you . I love you so much that I gave you my one and only son that whosoever shall believe in me . And then there is that complex part of that text that the human brain starts to grapple with , for God so loved the world that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life . But the belief can only be accelerated . The belief can only come when there has been a revealing of the word . Once the word has been revealed and it is so close , it is so thin it it runs so close together when god reveals himself through christ jesus to the human being , then suddenly belief comes in , faith drops in , everything drops into the human being and then we say , yes , there is a God . Yes , there is a living word . Yes , it is by grace that I've been saved . Yes , it is not by works that no one can boast . Yes , it is through the revealing word of the power of God , it is through the power of the Holy Spirit , it is through the love of Jesus , it is through his glory , his measure . You know God loves you and there is such an anointing on your life , there is such a presence of God in your life . We may try and knock it and reject it and just laugh and say what do you mean ? You know God's power , that or that brought this world into existence , the power that opened up the heavens . The power that brought and took jesus to the cross of calvary . The power that let light be light . The power that put all the fish in the ocean . The power that makes every wave move , the power that makes the sun and the moon revolve and move around , the power of the universe accelerating the power of light , increasing moment by moment , millisecond after millisecond . You know , everything is through the power of God . It is the power of God . There is no other way . There is no other meaning . It is the love of God . It is the power of God . There is no other way , there is no other meaning . It is the love of God . It is the power of the Holy Spirit . There is no other way . It has been revealed and that power is in your life and that power is sitting over your life and that power is in your life . That power is all over you because you are redeemed . We're coming to a close right now . May God bless you and touch your lives in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and wherever you are situated across the world . We just want to say thank you for downloading these streams . We want to say thank you for watching this live stream . Yes , we get the buffeting here and there . You know we get things happen , but this is just raw . This is just straight out of the barrel of truth . It is not edited , it is not shaped , it is not changed in any way , shape or fashion , but god is with you wherever you are across the world . The power of the holy spirit is in your life and everything has been revealed . I pray that god will bless you , that the holy spirit will enrich your life , that you will see the hand of God like never before , that the glory of God will strengthen you , that the word will encourage you , that you will realize that you are redeemed and you are loved beyond human understanding . We're out of here . May God bless you and strengthen you . We'll see you Wednesday morning for coffee and prayer . May God touch your heart tonight . God bless , take care , we'll see you later .
