Andy Hammond:Well, I'm not sure that it is.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Come on. Let's get straight into prayer. Good morning. Good morning world. Good morning, everybody, wherever you are around the world for the means of social media. Whether you are listening on the podcast later on down the timeline of technology. We welcome you here to eat in churches, we just gather, and we just rest in the presence of Jesus because this is the season. Isn't it interesting. As we come to prayer this morning, the worldly church. Sorry, the worldly Christmas, I should say. And something else about what we charge as well. The worldly way that Christmas is is closed the world Christmas is closed. But Christianity the Christ is alive. My Christmas will never be closed. You can lock down but the world's Christmas.
Donny Stockburn:Oh, yes, sir. It's closed. Yeah, sir.
Andy Hammond:The reason for the season? Is Jesus Jesus. Yeah. And that's why we celebrate. And that's why we get together. That's why we're bothering to sit here. Yeah. gathering that this time of the morning to actually celebrate what Jesus has done. And there wouldn't be the church if it hadn't been for Jesus.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Hallelujah.
Andy Hammond:That some while we're here, and I think, you know, Jesus promised his followers the helper. He promised the helper the Holy Spirit would come so can we start by just asking Holy Spirit to come and be with us. So, Holy Spirit, we ask you to come down with us. Fill us afresh with your power, with your insights with your love with your passion, your purpose. For the last, we ask Holy Spirit that whoever's listening now that they will be drawn to yourself that you will draw them to Jesus. And as I said, right at the beginning, the reason we do this is because of Jesus, because of who he was. He was the Son of God, who's part of that Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And we know, although we celebrate his birth, at this time, we know that he went to the cross Easter time so that he died so that we could have life. So we thank You, Father, that we can come to you. And we praise your name. So more of you, Holy Spirit, we've prayed more of you.
Donny Stockburn:Amen. Amen. Yeah, you know, the Lord's Prayer says, The kingdom come? Well, the reality is, the kingdom of God did come. Yes, for Christmas night. That night that heaven met. It wasn't a failing. It wasn't a Father Christmas story. It really did happen. That Evan came down to earth price God that God came out of heaven, hallelujah. They missed him in him, because he wasn't there anymore. Where was he? He was down on the earth. Heaven come to Earth Lord, it was the beginning of the end of the enemy, and the beginning of new life. Yes. Which is, Thank You, Lord, that we can step right into that. Come on, so easy, so simple, you might not be so easy for us, Father, God, you send a savior. A Savior, is not a DIY, Jesus, salvation that he bought when he came to do it or he came to bring us along with him. The purpose of not just to save us, but to spend life with us, life on Earth. But now he says, I will always be with you that blesses assurance that we've not just got a savior, but we're not on our own anymore. That Christ will be with us Jesus promised, he promised he will be was he promised he would never thank believers that in all our existence in this world, and the next we would never be separated from God. How does he do?
Reverend Ben Cooper:Thank you all.
Donny Stockburn:There is in Colossians one I think is first and 27th. Christ in your Christ in you could have a king in your camp. Yeah, pretty good. But when the king is living in you, it's possible to lose that salvation. That's the blessing assurance that we once saved. We're always saved, that our job is just to repent and trust him. He does everything else. All the nursing, all the recovery, everything. What a salvation.
Reverend Ben Cooper:God.
Donny Stockburn:What a glorious night for this world found a way to thank you Lord, as we ponder on it here today. In Jesus name, amen. Amen. Father, we

Donny Stockburn:Father, what was that great joy the angel spoke about. He didn't just say joy. He said great joy. What What was it that was so great about this joy that Jesus had bought? Well, I think God's challenges today with making this this Christmas really Jesus really personal to you today? Yes, I can really personal looking character looking into his promises here. Written on the top 10 this
Reverend Ben Cooper:net joy
Donny Stockburn:made in heaven, saved by oven. Oh God kept by oven. That cell nation made saved and kept. The joy for me is that my salvation is kept. It's not up to me. There's not a DIY Christ, no strings attached in it no smoke, in this gospel, our lives, it's there for the taking. Anyone can have anyone who will come to Jesus said whosoever who keep your eyes on that word who so ever would come? Let him come, Come as you are. As you are, yes, it's so personal to everyone. And God took me to the to the other end of the story of Christ really is last night on earth when he played that great prayer in john 17. And it says the whole of God's salvation plan was that he and you and asked, all of us here will be together throughout all its own whole plan, that nothing would ever separate us from God. You have to understand that this is not probation. This is sound. Get into it. It's forever. God will look after you He will take Jesus a precious, come on righteous load. They're the perfect story of every Christian realizes Psalm 23 braincase along that road, he will ever give us a rest. He will give us a hard time sometimes it changes and and sought us out. It will lie us besides us still will take us through the valley. shadow of death. But there's no fear. Why? Because Christ the King is with us. We could look at him. I'm not far from it. He's never away from me. Right on a dark night and find out me life and everything seems to dry down. And everything we laid on. This promise is true. The I'm always with you, Tom. Yeah. Have you ever know got you this far? Yeah. What is the end of it? The last verse in Psalm 23 is where we end up. That's, that's the perfect picture of Christ wants you to know that now. Yeah, that's his plan, his plan of his. And if you look at that player, that say, john 17, first 2622 26 in that prayer, glass, great prayer. You can look deep into the heart of Jesus, explain his desires to his father. Find in there that you and I will never be separated. He was chance to God's got charged over us that he will keep us that he will save us that he will get us to the end. That's Jesus prayer to his father, and that we will all see his glory. Have a good friend of mine passed away this morning. Lord, I just pray that you got the gospel before you when the gospel is here for us right now. Anyone sitting at home now? You may not Yeah. taste that joy. You may have had a year full of big troubles. He may not have had that security, that great joy, the angel pool, that this is forever. There's no part in when you get to Jesus is the king in your life whoever in order and you can make that commitment and right to die if you want to anyone who's not saved yet and or is wondering about their side function. It's quite simple if you do it with all your heart, and I wonder if someone wants to believe that prayer? Yes, Lord. Yeah. Do what? You got the big voice and

We pray for those Father God that are losing family. Now at this moment, there's a transaction from the heaven Lord, Father, Lord, we pray right now as people are going through bereavement, love, we think of Don, and he's his friend this morning, our brother in front of us that has lost his friend, that gentleman that he's known for a long time. Father, we thank you, that all things are with you now. Right now, Father, we pray for those that are going through bereavement, those that are coming up to this time when they can't really face Christmas, any celebration whatsoever, because the pain is so vast and so strong. Father, we pray that you will overcome all pain, or anguish or doubt or worry or fear father or those that have lost children, or those of us parents, friends, brothers, sisters, colleagues, whoever Lord, whatever that person meant to us. We pray, Father, that you will give us peace in the season. And Lord, we know that no government no president, no leader can snatch Christ out of us because Romans know nothing can separate us from the love of God. That is in Christ Jesus the Lord, this Christmas is alive more than any other time long. Because the world is talking about closing it. Father, God and Lord, why would they ever want to come against Christmas because it is spiritual. It is powerful. It is the buff of the Savior of the world is talking about Christmas. The world is talking about Christ in us Lord, Your word father is so true, so powerful. Lord, we are living in n times, Lord, your return is so soon Spirit of the Living God. We just recognize that you are the God of Israel. And right now we need a savior on this earth. We need the king to walk down every street. every town we need the king to go into every prison, every hospital, every hospice, every college, every university, every place every residence loan, we need the king, Lord, we need a king, for the Lord, this monarchy, this earthly government, we thank God for them, but they cannot get us into heaven. Lord, no one can get us into heaven. You are the way the truth and the life. It doesn't matter how much money Lord we got in stocks in shares. It doesn't matter how much we invest in the markets at this moment. Lord, it will not save us from hell. It will set us free father it will not deliver us money will not deliver us the power of God to get us through So Father we thank you the money does not come into salvation. We do not buy our way in Lord we just say Lord, take my heart. I was a sinner. I was lost. But now I'm found and the Bible says all have sinned and fallen short of Kobe's glory of God's glory. Now, Lord, as we live as believers, not as churchgoers not as religious people, we live as disciples of the living God, Lord, we want to see our king. We want to see our King we want to see the glory. We want to feel the power we want to feel the Word of God, Lord, so powerful within our being Lord, I pray for all the Christians that are downhearted this morning. I want to pray Father for all the protocols law that a yo yo in, in and out of Christianity I want to pray for all the Christians that are CO in secret sin I want to pray, Lord, for all of us that are caught in addictions worries and fears. We want that broken in the name of Jesus addictions broken can load we want father the the enemies voice Satan's voice that was in the Garden of Eden, that voice that unwelcome serpent was in the garden was in God's glory. Lord, just because we're Christians don't mean to say we might be in the garden of your glory we might be in your creation. But there is always a snake in our lives there is always an unwanted voice. Lord, remove the unwanted voice of satanic Lord rounds this morning, Lord remove all the slippery ones. Father, remove the dogs the evildoers as the scripture says, Father, remove people from our lives that are draining us emotionally, that are exhausting us remove people lawn that have other agendas other than the will of the Father, Spirit of the Living God. I pray for anyone that feels drained this morning. You know because of outside influences. I pray for anyone that feels drained because they're exhausted. Lord, I pray for anyone that has got a soul trying to stab them in the back this morning. When we think of David and we think of soap, we think of the young king David, and he was wise he got out of the way of soul. I pray for all those that know that there is a soul in their family in their life that is trying to tear them down. That they will get out of the call. They will get out of that situation where David was Father, I pray that you will remove all souls from anyone's lines. I pray Father that as we look across the plane of the UK, Lord, we see Pharaoh and we see Jess rebel spirit. We see Lord innkeepers, we see pastors and religious saying, Lord saying from over the pulpits, there is no room at the end. Because it's all about me, me, myself and I, my ministry, my church, my domain, Father, remove those leaders out on the church and put spiritual leaders, Lord that will listen and walk with you in faith. I pray for congregations today. I pray for all of us that are in congregations. I pray, Lord, that any time that we come under a motivational preacher, speaker from the pulpit, you will close areas because we don't want to hear about how great they are. We want to hear about our good out goddess. We want to hear our powerful Our God is that he's going to get us out of the mud in the mile. We want to know that our God is going to lift us we want to know that our God is going to save us from the Fowler's snare. We don't want to hear from leaders and authors. We don't want to hear from motivational speakers anymore because Lord, there is trouble in the UK and we need the word to miss breached. We may learn we are spiritually thin. We need the power of God to come out with all authority across pulpits across social media. We need the power of God,
Donny Stockburn:the Spirit of the Living God only in the word,
Reverend Ben Cooper:let it rain, let it rain Lord, can I say father light spiritual man, let it ring father we are spiritually thin in the UK. Lord, we are in famine, period, spiritually Lord the church as turning his back on you, religion as ignored you. And Father you know what I mean by church Father God, those lawn, the chat but don't live it. Spirit of the Living God. Oh God, I pray Lord, and I will live from Genesis to Revelation that I will stay in the Word of God. I will stay in the Word of God, Lord, we will stay in the Word of God breathed over this nation line of Judah. Come, come Lord at this Christmas time. Christmas is alive. Yes, no Christmas is being celebrated across the world like Joe is trying to push Jesus out. But they can't stop talking about Christmas. They can't stop talking about closing it.

That joy Landry. Joy is about we play it down, that nothing will have it Lord, that You will give it to them. This is gift on, no one could own A kiss for the living gift anymore. This gift, Lord, Sangha stands for your spirit of God. And it comes from the God himself, who allow us to live our eternity with us.

And as we come to take part in communion now, are you going to lead them? Yeah,
Reverend Ben Cooper:yeah. Well, the reason this one is cover one Corinthians chapter 11, verse 23, for I've received from the Lord what also passed on to you, the Lord Jesus and the night he was betrayed, took bread, when you're given thanks, he broke in and said, This is my body, which is for you Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way after supper, he took the cup, saying This cup is a new covenant in my blood do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of me for whenever you eat this bread and drink of this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes so then whoever eats the bread and drinks of the cup of the Lord unworthily in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the Lord. And everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink. The confuses. Can Oh god.
Donny Stockburn:Thank you, Jesus. And Jesus says thank you all that night that last night, it is with fervent design, that I've desired to eat this meal with you this past with you. He said that to His disciples, to us to ones he prayed for those who would believe that's us. This is a worst Jesus sentence with the fervent desire to belong to spend this last night on earth with you share this nada. So there we see a picture of what's going on in your heart towards us. Northern you would give your life to save whales or man on earth we come to you now, which is take this, this bird that is your body. And we say we just say thank you, Lord.
