Thank you for your reviews , thank you for your emails , thank you for those that support the ministry through prayer and through buy me a coffee at three pound a month . We really , really do appreciate this , because this is the listener supported ministry . Without further ado , we're going to get in . I know I speak fast sometimes and I'm so sorry , you know , for the coughs and the splutters and the tongue tied way that I get , but this is as I always say , this is straight out of the barrel of truth . This is not edited in any way , shape or form . We just put it straight out in the name of j .
Speaker 1We're in the Gospel of John , chapter 1 , verse 1 , and it says In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , and the Word was God , the Spirit of the living God . We pray that we will feel the power of the Word in our lives today , that the Word of God , through the eternal work of the cross of Calvary . We thank you that Jesus Christ was at the very beginning of creation , that Jesus Christ is the living word , that Jesus Christ is yes and amen . And , father , we come to you , lord , we seek the Father's heart and , as it says in the Gospel of John , chapter 1 , verse 1 , in the beginning was the word . We thank you that the word was at the very beginning of creation . We thank you that the word walked in the call of the garden . We thank you , lord , that the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us . So , lord , we understand that the word of god is christ , jesus , that jesus christ is god . And as we come to you this morning , father , we rest in the scripture .
Speaker 1I pray , lord , for my sisters and brothers . I ask you , god , right now , from my depth of my heart , that you , dear god , will put your loving arms around every listener today , that they will just feel the love of Jesus and they will know that the living word of God is living in their hearts , that everything is okay in their lives . So , lord , we step up and we step out , lord , and we carry the eternal word of God in this earth suit in which we walk in . So , father , we pray today that , lord , that we will hunger for you , lord , that we are thirsty for you . Lord , you tell us that man doesn't live on bread alone , but by every word that perceives out of the mouth of God .
Speaker 1And Lord , we cannot sustain ourselves anymore on materialism . We cannot sustain our lives anymore on social media .

I'm always , lord , leaving the pigsty of life and running back to the Father's house . Thank you for forgiveness . Thank you , lord , that you are the eternal word and today , lord , we pray for this word as we search the depth of your heart .

The pressure of a human being , the pressure of a minister , the pressure of a father , a son , a mother , a brother , a sister , a friend , the pressure , dear God , that we have around us . Lord , I feel like a volcano some days and , lord , don't let it erupt . Lord , please , lord , put a cap on the volcano of frustration . Lord , please take the lava away from us . Spirit of the living god , we want to overflow , lord , not with hot ashes and a volcanic activity . Lord , I want to overflow , lord , let your , let the river of god overflow .
