Yes, we are living at critical days. I have to mention these things. I do not stand with any political side. I do not stand with any political side. I do not allow myself to be governed anymore by the political drumbeat of this nation across the world because I have to get my life right with Jesus Christ. And what we are facing in this nation, we are trying, we we think that by whatever flag we lift is going to change the rhythm of government. And whatever way we vote, it's not going to make any difference. What way you vote will not change the agenda that Satan has. Now that agenda was written by the word of God. The scriptures have got to be fulfilled. So it doesn't matter where you put your vote, it doesn't matter how much money you give to this party and that party. It doesn't matter what they say at your front door. It's irrelevant. We cannot try to change this nation by following a political or a journalistic way of approach. This nation will never change because we are not in a uh natural crisis. We are in a spiritual crisis. We are living at a time when when um when uh suicide is at the highest rate ever. We are living at a time when when mental health is so high that we've never, the system can't can't keep up with the with everything that's going on within the area of mental health. We can't address mental health issues, and I've got to be extremely careful with what I say. I have to be very careful. Because what we have, we have a spiritual crisis. The spiritual crisis is here because of the church in the UK, and I'm not talking about the congregations for all for everyone, I'm talking about the leaders. The leaders have come away from the gospel of Jesus Christ. The majority of fact. That is biblical fact because we are watching a great falling away. So we have a crisis that we've never seen before in the UK. We have got more churches springing up than ever before, but they're not of the church of God. Because pastor can't be the leader. The cultural pastor can't be the leader, the color person can't be the leader. It's got to be Jesus Christ. We have so much division in church. Division by money, division by uh poverty, division by class, division by cars on the drive, division by denomination, division by color, division by everything. You won't find that in the church of the Pentecost. You and I'm not talking about that, the Church of the Pentecost, I'm not talking about that massive movement. I'm talking about the Acts Church, the book of Acts, the birth of the Church of Jesus Christ. We are watching very, very clearly that the state church, interwoven, the church of England in areas are interwoven with Catholicism. Catholicism is interwoven with the Church of England. They're interwoven in different areas. Now, we are hearing, and you can see it across all every area of life. We are watching that they are saying they are the church. They cannot be the church. Any church, any denomination that decides to marry two men is of the church of Satan. That's fact. There's no need jumping around a skipping rope and going, oh, Pastor Ben's not politically correct. I don't care, I'm not bothered. I don't care. I ain't worried. I'm not being arrogant. I just I ain't bothered. Because when I get called home, I want Jesus to go, come on, son, you're in the door. I want when I get upstairs, I want to know I'm living up there. Now the fact of the matter is, the government is leading the church. Elim, every church, every denomination has a charity number. You've heard me say this. When we have charitable status, we come under the hammer of number 10 Downing Street. So suddenly the gospel can't be preached as it should be preached. Because if we preach the gospel as it should be preached, they pull our funding. We got to get back to prayer. The church has got to get back to prayer as an individual. Now, the scripture that I'm going to turn to is in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2. There's a fair bit of reading. So no, we have a nation where the children have never been so wild. I ain't worried what your parents might, what you might call me. The children are wild. There is no law for the children. The children can do what they want. Schools can't touch them, parents can't touch them. I'm going to ring child line. The children are untouchable, so that they have no, they have it's no good talking about morals. Don't think about morals. What we've got to teach the children is the word of God. The word of God needs to get back into the family home. The word of God needs to get back in school. And let me put it out there. Any children, any parents that need a Bible, please contact us and we will give you a Bible. We will give you a Bible. We are in a society where children are not reading the Word of God. Children don't know who Jesus Christ is because they're gaming. We have the biggest amount of gaming young adults, adults, young children we've ever seen before. For a long time, we've I know and I can hear the parents sending emails in already. When we go to restaurants, we chuck an iPad in front of them. Oh, they're uncontrol, they can't control them. Oh dear me, I can't control my child, he's wild. Well, take a look at me as a parent. The child is only wild because I'm letting them get away with it. Oh, I'm gonna have it today, but bring it on. It is critical. It is critical that we deal with this crisis that we're in by Jesus Christ. Now we're living in and we've watched this government. The man says he goes to church. Well, I ain't gonna go to his church, that's for sure. Because if he speaks about Palestine the way he speaks about Palestine, he's biblically illiterate. So if he has done what he's done and speaks about Palestine the way he speaks about Palestine, he doesn't know the Old Testament. So he can't, he can be a churchgoer. He can go and go to church, that's fine. But about being born again, because if you're born again, God will start to drop in your spirit. We've got to keep our eyes on Jesus, keep your eyes on Israel. Israel is the is the clock, the clock of heaven. Israel, the signs of the times, excuse me. So we have a government that will not teach our children the gospel of Jesus Christ. They will teach them every other faith. They will tell you wherever you go, we've got to be a nation of multi-faith. God told the Israelites, when you go in the land of Canaan, don't copy what we're serving, don't serve foreign gods. But we have chaplains that have no choice to a roundabout way in many areas of life where they have to be multi-faith. You can't be multi-faith. You have to stand alone as a Bible-believing preacher and teacher. You can say hello and shake their hands and tell them about Jesus, but you can't be kin to. You can't go into the land of Canaan and be swamped by multi-faith. It's not correct. So we have chaplaincy being stretched beyond human understanding. We have the church across the UK that is struggling to preach the message of Jesus Christ. We're more concerned on filling up the auditoriums and putting on a show. Now we're coming up to Christmas. You can watch the mega ministries, they'll be charging you to go to the O2. Uh they'll be blocking out the O2 for a Christmas carol night. You'll be paying a tenant to go and see baby Jesus. So you go and pay a tenor, you go and watch a show if you like. It's up to you. Jesus didn't charge for anything. So when Jesus Christ comes back, is he coming back as a baby? He's coming back as ruler and judge. When he comes back, now we are living in the in the days of the second coming of Jesus Christ. So when we look at the signs of the times, we've got a government that is completely anti-Christ. We have education in the majority of the area which is anti-Christ. We have churches in many areas are antichrist. Yes, I've said it. We have witch doctors preaching at the front in tribal settings, in cultural settings. We have celebrity church happening where we got smoke machines, dark rooms, cameras are on the man and the woman at the front, just doing me lipstick and my makeup, get myself ready to go online. We have so much of the world within the church. So no wonder we are in such a mess. So this is what is where where we're at. Now, the man of lawlessness, we're in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2.
There's a bit of a read here, so if you can bear with me. And it says, concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and our uh being uh gathered to him. And it says there very, very clearly. Uh verse 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecies, reports, or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. Don't let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed. The man doomed to destruction. Here we go. He will oppose and will exalt himself. Exalt himself. We've got this in church. We got men and women exalting themselves through their ministry, exalting themselves. You watch on social media many. I have to have I've had a laugh this week because I've been watching many things. It's cheered me up when I've had a bit of a bad air day. I just click onto the social media and watch some of these churches around the world, then the way they welcome pastor in the door. The way they welcome pastor in the door. And then pastor takes his jacket off, and as I said, he waves his jacket and everyone falls over in the power of the Holy Spirit. It's absolutely crazy. And then the other day I was watching one where this pastor was speaking to this person that was supposed to have a demonic tongue and he was saying all this crazy stuff. See, we gotta be we gotta know our Bible because if we allow ourselves to watch all this crazy stuff, we'll be following the wrong stuff. You've got to follow Jesus. Jesus didn't take his robe off and wave it at the 12 disciples and they fell over in the spirit. Find somewhere where they fell over in the Holy Spirit. Find somewhere, yeah, I know where you might take yourself to, but you've got to look at Jesus Christ in his ministry. Was they all falling around in Capernaum? Was they all slain in the spirit? Oh, Jesus has walked in a room, he's just taking his jacket off and I've fallen over. They didn't even know who Jesus was. So we got pastors online across the world exalting themselves. Here comes the prophet, here he comes, the man of God, here comes daddy, here comes the man of God, he's in the house, and you hear the house erupt, and they're praising the name of the pastor. He's just got out of a car that could feed a million kids. He's got off an aircraft that could build schools around the world, but he's got to have it because he's got to get the gospel out quicker. He's got to come, he's got to have a load of security guards around him. Jesus didn't have one security guard. He was the most wanted man in the world, and he didn't have no one to protect him. He just walked about his day, he walked in every area and you didn't find anyone making Jesus was secure and okay. Jesus didn't have a security guard, he didn't have an entourage, he didn't have a Mercedes, he didn't have an aircraft, he didn't come in helicopter, he didn't have a smoke machine, he didn't have a TikTok account, he didn't have a building. He's the king, he's a real man, but we got these men coming in, and the reason I'm reading this is so clear, it's in the scripture. Don't let anyone deceive you in any way. The day will come, and it has to come until the man of lawlessness is revealed. The man doomed to destruction, he will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that God that is called God or worshipped. And it says there, so he will set himself, sets himself up, sorry, in God's temple, proclaiming I know what that scripture is referring to, but it's also referring down to every area of the forerunners of the Antichrist. Don't you don't you remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you these things. How old is this scripture? How old is this scripture? The last days began at the cross. We're at the door. We are at the door, and he's coming. And he says, Didn't I tell you this? Now it goes on a little bit further. This is really interesting, verse six. And he says, There, we're in 2 uh Thessalonians chapter 2, verse 6. And now I want you uh and I want you to know what is holding him back so that he may be revealed at the proper time. Now, this is really important. Verse 7 for the secret power of lawlessness is already at work. The secret power is in government, the secret power is in the Illuminati. In all that, all them, all them hashtag names that are out there, it's in the world of celebrity. The secret power is already at work. It's in government, it's in agents across the world, it's working already, it's out and it is real. The secret power that is already at work, and it says, but the one who holds it back will continue to do so uh till he is taken out away, and then the lawless one will be revealed. Whom the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I love this. This is what it says the Lord Jesus Christ will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy uh the splendor by his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan. This is where we're at. The work of Satan. Displayed now. This is really important. Really important. Are you ready? Look what it says. In all kinds of counterfeit what miracles, miracles, signs, and wonders. What have we got in the celebrity church? Demonic, Satan, miracles. We are watching counterfeit before our very eyes,
displayed across the social networks, and we're getting into it. It's God moving, God is getting pastor to wave his jacket, and the whole stadium is out. God is telling Pastor to lift his right arm, and the right side of the auditorium have fallen down.
Where do you find in Scripture that Jesus waved his jacket and anyone went
out? Where do you find in scripture that Jesus walked into a place and there was uproar? There's only one place you'll find that when he was going to the cross. Only one place you'll find those. But there was a hidden agenda under all that stuff because when they said Hosanna, Hosanna, they quickly chucked the palm trees down and the branches, they ran round a corner to the next day, and then they said, Crucifier, crucify. The same crowd that welcomed him in on a donkey, took him to the cross. So, what we have, we have a counterfeit church. We have counterfeit miracles. We have Lucifer's preaching the message. Here we go. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders. And it says, and in every sort of evil uh that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refuse to love the truth. Help us, Jesus. They refuse to love the truth and to be saved. For this reason, God sends them a power, a powerful delusion, so that they may believe the liar, and so that they will be condemned. There's a lie out there. Don't follow certain churches. Be careful of denominations, be careful of the system of religion. God is telling us loud and clear through the writer of Thessalonians, watch out. Then we've got to go on a little bit further. Verse 13, but we always ought to thank God for you, brothers, loved by the Lord. Because from the beginning, God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through the belief in truth. When you look at that scripture there, it tells us something very clear that salvation comes from God and God only. If pastor waves his coat at you and you receive salvation, it ain't salvation. If you go and you get prayer four out the front of an auditorium and you feel a little bit of a shove, it's not the Holy Spirit. If you are being manipulated in a church service to run down the front, throw your life to Jesus, and on your way down, fill a gift aid form out. Be careful. Because Jesus preached the greatest message in a tiny little space to Nicodemus. He didn't have a social media account, he didn't have security guards around him, he didn't come into that place on a Merced in a Mercedes. He didn't fly into Jerusalem on his own private jet. He just walked into that room and he said to the teacher of Israel, You must be born again. The greatest message the world has ever preached. The king that we serve doesn't need anyone to protect him. The king that we serve walked the streets, and the whole world was against him, and he had no one to protect him. The king walked everywhere. When he was born and he came into the world, the king wanted to destroy him. But what happened? God took his mum and dad. That's what we gotta understand. God took him into Egypt. What came out of Egypt? Two things came out of Egypt. Egypt is a very satanic and a very spiritual place. It serves foreign gods at a high level. So Egypt is where God hid Jesus. And the Bible, what did the Bible bring out of Egypt in Exodus chapter 12? The Passover supper. So it's very interesting. You've got the spiritual coming out, and then you've got the uh breaking of bread, the unleavened bread, you've got the Passover. So the Passover was birthed in Bethlehem, the Passover lamb was taken back into Egypt, you know, a good number of years after God gave the instruction. Don't be fooled. Don't be fooled by what is out there. Sister and brother, it is critical now that we detach ourselves from many things within the world of church. We got to detach ourselves from many things within ministry, detach ourselves from certain areas of government, detach ourselves from certain areas of education. It is now a time that the church has got to get in prayer because it is only the power of prayer. Remember this. All those pastors that you watch running into them auditoriums have got men protecting them. Jesus doesn't need anyone to protect him. Jesus Christ is the creator of heaven and earth. He is the greatest king that ever walked this earth. They wanted to destroy him, they wanted to kill him, they wanted to take him out, but they could not do anything until he said, Now is the time. You don't need any security guard around you when you tell the world about Jesus. You don't need to lock yourself behind your door or your house. You need to tell the world about Jesus because when you tell the world about Jesus, what happens? God's got to protect you. When you're in the fake name it and claim it, you need protection. But when you're bold and braggadocious and you speak about God at work, at home, in your culture, in your life, when you speak the word of God, God's gotta protect you because he's got to put angels to flight. But God ain't gonna put angels to flight when the pastor, Mr. Apostolic, whatever his name might be at the end of the day, comes into the auditorium when he's surrounded by men that are guarding him. Oh dear me, we've got to protect him. God ain't gonna put angels to flight because he's already got devils looking after it. God has to put angels to flight when the individual that no one knows your name across the world, and you're at home crying your heart out, you're driving into work on the commute, you're at school, you're busted, you're broken, everything's gone, and you cry. God has to deploy an army over your life. He will not deploy an army over a man that is calling himself greater than Jesus Christ. He will not put an army and a legion of angels over any ministry when the man is exalting himself. That's why he's got bodyguards. Let me tell you this: if you're a born-again Christian, God has to protect you. If you are born again and you are spirit-filled, and you are marked with the blood of Jesus, and you have been chosen, and you know that you've been chosen. There's an interesting scripture in 2 Thessalonians chapter, yeah, 2 Thessalonians chapter 3 from verse 6 down, and it talks about idols, not idols we worship, people that are idle. And the Bible says that if anyone doesn't work, they shouldn't get food. Take that one. That's what these gospel writers put in. They say it extremely clearly. We will not be a burden to anyone, and we're the gospel writers. We are the real evangelists, we are the real preachers, and we work night and day. It says we toil till our hands bled. We worked and we bought our own food. But I watched Saint the other night. Oh my goodness gracious me. Pastor was brought in, it was his 50th birthday. Oh my goodness, I had to laugh. I had to pull myself off the studio floor. I couldn't believe what I was watching. They were feeding him, carrying him in, giving him grapes and all that. It was just absolutely crazy. He had a gold jacket on, white gloves. It was just madness. I've never seen any. I thought Michael Jackson had come back. I thought he was
going to do a moon walk in a minute. I couldn't believe this. It's Pastor's 50th birthday. Pastor's 50. Let's get him two Mercedes. Come on, he deserves it. Come on, let's get pastor a million pound house in Chelsea Row. Come on, Pastor deserves it. He's a devil worshiper. There's nothing worse than lazy pastors. There's nothing worse than lady lazy. Actually, yeah, I could say that one as well, but I won't use that word in terminology here. There's nothing worse than a pastor that wants to sit back and have his back washed in the bath. There's nothing worse than what we see across the channels at this moment in time. The scripture is clear. The gospel's writers tell us this. If a man will not work, he shall not eat. Take that one, Pastor. Tell me how to get out of that one. Yeah, but but yeah, but I've got a church of 500. Yeah, but I've got this, I've got that. Jesus Christ has got more believers than you can count. And let me tell you this, he picked up a D-Walk saw and he jumped in a transit van and Jesus went to work. Jesus Christ was a carpenter, the greatest preacher, the savior of the world. And he put food on his mum's table when his dad had gone. And what do you mean, gone when his dad passed away? When Jesus was around 25 years old, he was the head of his house. And Jesus went to work, Pastor. Jesus went to work. He started his transit on a cold, frosty morning in Jerusalem. He got out, he cleaned his boots off. He went out and he was a carpenter. He hung doors, he built houses, he was the carpenter's son, the Bible tells us. And he fed his mum. Let me tell you this out there, world. If your children are not going to work and helping and feeding you, you've got to do something about that. If your children are sponging off you, you've got to watch what's going to happen. Because the Bible says, the Bible says, it's not good today, is it? It's not good today. So lazy pastors that are out there, we know you're watching. We know where you are. Sounds a bit like that Liam Neeson film, doesn't it? I'm watching you. Pastors, you might have a large ministry. But is it of Jesus? Religion is so lazy. Religion is so lazy. It was sit back. We're more worried the other week or the other month when the Pope knelt down to pray about his red bottom shoes. He's got the wrong shoes on. Oh no, he's got red soles on his feet. What are we gonna do? Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. The Bible talks about laziness. The Bible is clear what it says about the work of the hand of a human being. Nowhere where you find that God says, when a pastor gets this sort of status, he's gotta sit back and be fed grapes and wine. Jesus Christ is the greatest priest, pastor, leader the world has ever seen. And he worked and he put food on his family table. He picked up the keys to his van and he went to work. He worked in an environment that was not good. His dad taught him the trade to be a carpenter. But we got pastors longing it off, playing golf, having a sauna, giving it large. I've worked hard. I've preached twice this week. Oh God, have mercy on your brother. Sisters and brothers, what does the Bible say? We made tents, we were homeless, we sold everything we had. We sold everything we had, and we gave it, and we gave ourselves. This is what the scripture talks about don't get caught by the counterfeit. Not world, he's telling you about the church the counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders. It's time to pray. It's time to pray like never before. It's time to seek the Father's heart. It's time to get in the gospel like never before. Don't follow lazy pastors. Don't follow lazy stuff. Don't give your good hard earned money to someone that's got an aircraft. The best thing you can ever do if you want to see it sow a seed is to buy some shopping for someone that you know that's struggling. Don't tell anybody what you're doing and at a quiet time go and knock their front door and go, I've got this for you. The greatest gift you'll give anybody, don't go and give your money to the pastors that are driving the most powerful vehicles in the world. Don't sow another seed to a minister that's got more aircraft than we got cars on our drives. Buy a Bible and take that Bible and leave it at the door of someone's house that you know that is struggling. Don't give your money to men that are living lavish lifestyles. Don't give your money to the system that doesn't know who you are in the mega church. You're just the gift aid number. Fill the form. Hallelujah, sister. God bless you, brother. See you next Sunday. Oh, next Sunday, I think it's payday. So we're we're expecting a bigger tithe next week. I got a gift aid. How many envelopes do you see in many churches? A gift, a wave offering, a dance offering, a praise offering, a gift aid offering, every offering under the sun. But who's it feeding? If you want to sow in the kingdom, stop giving it to millionaires. Give it to a family that needs a loaf of bread. If you want to sew some money that you got, go and buy a load of Bibles and take them to your school where your children go. And say, I want this school to have this gift that I have given you. If you got someone at work that needs a Bible, the gate
the greatest gift you'll ever give is a Bible to someone. Don't sew into millionaire ministries. Don't sew into aircraft ministries. Don't sew into religion. Go and buy food. Go and say to someone, I'll put 20 pounds in your fuel car this week so you can get your children to school. Go and have a conversation. Don't let the right hand know what the left hand is doing. Sisters and brothers, we are critically at the coming of Jesus Christ. We're going to come to the table now. We've got to get out of here in a moment. I've got to get in the aircraft and get lace down as quick as I can. Wherever you are, in the name of Jesus Christ, wherever you are across this world, the only thing I can ever tell you that I know is right and true is follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth. If you want significant change in your life, study Jesus. Study Jesus and follow Jesus and get a Bible. Because church ain't doing it no more. Church never really done it at the end of the day. Ministry never done it. No wonder we got so many denominations. No wonder we got so much stuff going on. I've got to tell you to follow Jesus. You've got to follow Jesus. Don't follow Eelim. Don't follow me. Don't follow those mega ministries. First and foremost, get into the scripture and pray. And you might say, Well, well, Ben, I've got an issue with prayer and I don't need to, I can't pray out. You haven't got to pray out. You haven't got to go into church and pray out. You can sit in a field, you can sit in your workspace, you can sit at home. And then you might say, Well, I don't know how to pray. How do I pray? How do I pray? What we would tell you to do is very simple. Get your Bible, go to Psalm 23, six verses, and just read them aloud to yourself and say, Father, you are my shepherd. And take that prayer, the prayer of David. And then if you get the Lord's Prayer, Matthew chapter 6, take Matthew chapter 6, the Lord's Prayer, and Psalm David, Psalm of David 23, put them together and sit and just read them. Read them aloud in your car. Read them as you're on the commute to work. Read them in your staff room. Children, this is really important for the children. Read a Bible as you sit at your desk. If your teacher says no, don't listen. Be respectful and read the word. Take a Bible into school and read the word of God. Young adults, read it in university. The whole world is searching. So let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we understand that there is power as we come to the table. And as we come to the table right now, Lord, I ask you right now that you will strengthen us for the wave that is about to crash on the UK. I ask you, God, that you will save this government. That this government, Lord, will be biblically sound. Holy Spirit, please move through every church, move through me, move through all of us. Lord, bring us to the cross. Bring us to the cross. Bring us to the cross. I pray, Lord, for the parents that have got children just completely disrespectful. I pray, Lord, that you'll give the parents wisdom and strength how to deal with the children that are wayward. I pray, dear God, for the many cultures that are out there, Lord, that we will realize that culture doesn't mean anything. But being born again and spirit-filled means everything. So Lord, I pray, Lord, right now for all of us, myself, as we come to the cross. Forgive me, Lord, as I sin, as I regular sin, as I make mistakes, as I live life wrong, as I do things wrong, as I act wrong, as I say wrong. Thank you, Lord, that I can come to the table now and say, Father, forgive me. And I thank you that I'm a sinner saved by grace. And Lord, wash me from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. So, Lord, we thank you for the blood of Jesus. We thank you for the body of Christ. And I ask you, Lord, that you'll give us strength. Give us strength to rise on wings as of eagles. That we will soar, dear God, above the cloud line, the storm line. And we will realize who we are, that we will find our true identity in God. Help us, Father, find that true identity in God. Holy Spirit, bless everybody in the house, all those that are not with us, all those that are online, wherever they are. But Lord, we need Jesus. We need Jesus. Father, we need Jesus. We need Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Father, as we take this bread, we recognize that this is bread in itself. It has no power because it's symbolic to what it symbolizes. So Lord, as we break this bread, thank you that it is symbolic to the body of Christ. Father, bless us, we pray. In the name of Jesus, amen. Please, God, have mercy on the church and this nation. Holy Spirit, I pray for such a stirring in our lives. As we take this cup, Lord, as we just take this cup whenever we want to, however we want to, I ask you, Lord, that we will just remind ourselves that we are saved and washed in the blood. And Lord, as we pray, we just pray for ourselves that we will actually find our true identity through the word of God. And we will be that man and that woman that you've called us to be. And we will rise and we will be able to deal with everything that comes our way because God will fight for us. And God has deployed angels concerning your life. When you speak the word of God over your life, angels are put to flight. When the word of God is spoken through prayer, angels are put to flight over your life. So cleanse me, Lord, from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet in Jesus' name. Amen. Father, I thank you for time in the house today. I pray, Lord, everyone that is before me visually, everybody that is under the sound of my voice, that you'll touch lives today. And Lord, we will we will follow Jesus. We won't follow Eliam. We won't follow the denominations. We won't follow this, we won't follow that. But we will literally put Jesus first. Jesus first. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And everything else shall be added unto thee. Help me to be a Jesus seeker. Help me to be a Jesus seeker, to seek him in the fabric of life, in the fabric of living. Help me to seek Jesus. Help me, Lord, to give you everything I've got in my life. Help me to hear the heartbeat of heaven. Help me to hear the rhythm of God's word. Help me to stand up. Stand up for my God. To let the world see that I follow Jesus with my failings. I follow Jesus. With the idiosyncrasies that I've got. With the crazy thoughts that I've got, that I am a Jesus follower. I ain't got it right by no chance. So Lord, I'm probably at the back of the queue over everybody. But Lord, I thank you. I'd rather be the last in heaven. At least I'm in. At least I'm in, Jesus. At least I'm in. Holy Spirit, pour out your love over each and every one of us. Draw us to a place of freedom. I pray for all those that are living in chains. All those that are living in cultural chains. All those that are living in relationship chains. All those that are chained to their children. All those that are chained to the world. That the shackles will open today. And we will feel the freedom from our ankles and from our wrists. That the shackles are gone. The shackles are gone. Come, Holy Spirit. Send your word today. Release us and bring us to a place of freedom. In Jesus' name. Amen. May God bless you wherever you are today, across the world. Thank you for joining us in the house. Thank you for joining us wherever you are. We pray that the Holy Spirit will lead you in great days, in powerful days. I ask that the Lord will keep us wise. Keep us wise with everything that's going on, with the digital stuff, with the stuff that's happening in every area, the streets, the towns, education, school, life, home, whatever it may be. God will keep us wise and God will keep us strong and God will keep us grafted in. May God bless you. We're going to stand and say the Lord's Prayer. So if you can join us and say the Lord's Prayer with us in the house and for everybody online, may the Lord bless you. Keep you. In Jesus' name. Our Father.
