Donny Stockburn:is so important. They join us in one body,
Reverend Ben Cooper:one body wherever we are around the world. And what I love about when we record these podcasts is that they go out and people listen to them weeks, months, a year or so after and it's so so relevant though that prayer is so powerful. So whether they're listening through Alexa, whether they're listening through Google Play, whether they're listening through the world of Apple Music, Spotify buzzsprout, you know, this is so powerful. The world of speech speech is very powerful, isn't it? Is it Jamie speaks about the power of the tongue parent is the power of the tongue.
Andy Hammond:Yeah, for what we say
Reverend Ben Cooper:what we say because that is a matter of life. And death isn't
Andy Hammond:the smallest organ, but it has the most power.
Reverend Ben Cooper:It even gives life. Or it takes life, doesn't it? Anyway, and they lead us in prayer this morning. Let's get straight down to business.
Andy Hammond:Yeah, Father, we just thank you for the privilege of coming together in prayer here. Because we know your words, were two or three are gathered together, there you are in our midst.

And those who will listen later, you will be with them to that you will fill their rooms wherever they're sitting with your power with your love, and with your hope and a verse that came to mind this morning. is from JOB, JOB 1513 verse 15, though he slay me, yet, well, I hope in Him, I will surely defend my ways to his face. Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance. Father, we just thank you for your word, your word, but that is so true. Yes. So even though he slay me, will be my deliverer.

So your word your Lord and prayer, a law which is pray that you will raise our understanding of your faithfulness. Yes, you are up to a new level. Father God. I haven't done yeah, the first one. I've shouted out many times, but you're familiar with it. Lord, I've done it again. I found again, or my faith, I can't find faith or anything. And the first voice say is I will I will I will is my salvation on the line. So fallen back to answer is the devil. He says. Yeah, you've lost it. Put your Word says No, you haven't learned and we're gonna read it. Yeah, the reassurance that our faith Yeah, he's never underlined is never in doubt. Why? Because of God's love and God's faithfulness to us. That's why it's not down to our words. It's not down to our heart. We we cry or anything of that kind is purely down to God's faithfulness, and God's amazing love for us because he's not bought us into a religious relationship. He's pulled us into a love relationship. Praise God. And the word says that your love is perfect Father God. Without full it says it keeps no record of wrongs or ignored. I love that. I love that word. I can lie back in that Lord and enjoy the die. Your love keeps no record of wrongs. We have a great shepherd. His name is Jesus. And he doesn't leave us Lord when a wolf comes. And he has marked each one of us. You've seen those shepherds, they like got a mark thing they put it on the back of the every sheep load and we have been marked with the blood of Jesus. And nothing can take that away. Nothing No, no fault in us of anything Lord, you've ensured our salvation with your goodness in your faith was Lord and this whole book is about your love for us Father God, everything in it is written about our your love for God and your faithfulness to us Lord, but I've just chosen the god show me just two words that touched my heart that bring bring me closer to him. And in we've talked about the word earlier about our powerful is, this is God's word. They don't count no stronger than it's not. So pierce me it just got me back on my feet and give me such peace. Not our pray that this will bring. Those who have been suffering lows have been down even their salvation fall. Right down there in the bottom of the barrel. Jesus works most good where he does the miracles. brings out all sorts of wonderful things loaded from prisons or jails or, or broken lives, Father Godfather, you bring them up for the good from there. And Lord is your word to that restores and reassures us that our salvation is never, ever going to be in download. And artists will read it to you. It's Isaiah 46. And two verses first three and four. And there's one more reason after that, and God says, to the answer of Jacob, to the remnant of Israel, is peace people, that means we're his people. So the word is to us as well, to listen to me, of house of Jacob, and all the remnants of the house of Israel, who have been upheld by me from birth, thank you all, who had been carried from the womb, even to your old age. And even to the gray hairs of a carrier like that, I'll go it alone. And I made and I will bear, even I will carry will love you, and we will deliver you. That's God's promise.

And you said this word says you will deliver us Come on all the days of our lives that a cat has ruined Shawn online, our salvation is secured in your faithfulness, and in your amazing love that keeps no record of our loans, Father God. And there's one other one here, this one is Isaiah 54. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills shall be removed. But my kindness shall not depart from you.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Or what? Thank you, Jesus.
Donny Stockburn:Nor shall my covenant of Peace be removed since the Lord mercy on you can be any word that's more reassuring? can it mean anything other than that? You have got us saved, safe and secure. In your keep in your faithfulness, your faithfulness? Yes. Oh, love Lord, King. That's a relationship. You pull us into a day. Pray that we will grasp this truth. And it will bring our understanding of your faithfulness and your love to us. So everything you will hold on to us, you will serve on the foot and we have that shepherd who has bought us pray, Father God, that blood is not for a day or two or two the next time in our life that that blood means forever.

Whatever the illnesses, Father, Lord, we thank you that we're here. Whatever the fear may be, we thank you that it's gone. Yes, whatever Lord is troubling us. It is God's Will at the name of Jesus Christ for strength.

I pray, all those that are listening and watching that they will be strong and courageous, they will feel the power of the Holy Spirit. But Lord, we have to reference Exodus chapter 12, the blood will be assigned the blood of the Lamb. Yes, and I thank you, Lord, that we are covered in the blood of the Lamb. The blood is a sign. The religious understanding is not a sign. The amount of times I walk in and out the church is not a sign the blood of Jesus Christ, the lamb.
Donny Stockburn:Yes, good isn't a
Reverend Ben Cooper:sign of eternity. Yes, no walk in the streets of God and see how God has now been embraced by the Messiah. So Father, I pray for every one of us today that we won't understand how powerful the blood of Jesus the Crimson Tide is for you. Have you washed your watch? In the blood of Jesus, the great hymns, the great hymns that are so scriptural, that are so powerful. So Father, I thank you for healing. I thank you, Father, that disease has gone at the name of Jesus. Lord, we call the things that are not as they are, because that's what the scripture says about our God. Lord, we do not focus on the negative we do not focus on the doubts. We ask our God not give us your we mighty, we lift up the name of Jesus, we lift up the name of Jesus, we lift up the name.
Andy Hammond:Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord. That first set, so Ben quoted in Isaiah 55, so is my word that goes out from my mouth, it will not return to me and will accomplish what I desire, and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Praise God, Father, we just, we just love to pray scripture. Yeah, we just did that to you. We just lift that verse to you. But there's also other verses in that amazing chapter of Isaiah, seek the Lord, while he may be found, oh, you're all on him while he's in here. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the evil man his thoughts, let him turn to the Lord. And he will have mercy on him. Come on. So Father, we just thank you that you've had mercy on us that we pray, Father God, for all those who are seeking now who want to live life explain to those who who are troubled. And sort of we hear that comments like, Is there more to life than this people sitting at home now? Is there more to life than this? Well, I can confirm that there is, I can confirm that there is. And Father, we just prayed for healing for for people. And we know that you hear every word that we have, yes. I just love scripture, Father, and I just pray this scripture. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received, thank you, and it will be yours who believe it. So Father, we just we just believe that we just believe that whatever we ask, you hear us, and you will give us the right answer. Thank you. No, we thank You, Father. And I just well, Ben was praying, I looked at Joshua, again, and where it says in Joshua 24. Joshua was speaking to the people, and really was calling them to say, Who are they going to follow? And their response was, we will serve the Lord our God, and obey Him. That's him. 24 verse 24. On that day, Joshua made a covenant to the people and their Shechem, he drew up for them decrees and laws. And Joshua recorded these things in the book of the law. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the rug, near the holy place of the Lord. See, he said to all the people, this stone will be a witness against us. Thank you. So far, I just love that way that and this happened many times in the Old Testament where a stone was set up where a promise was made, or a decree was confirmed. And I just love the idea of maybe someone listening today would just like to take pebble from the garden. Yeah, come along, and and set it Yeah, somewhere where they can see on a on a window ledge or in the garden, where they can see it. Every time they go into the garden. They will look at this stuff and realize that God loves them. And yes, maybe is the side to follow him here and set that stone as a permanent reminder that God loves that. And Joshua asked the people who were they going to serve? And it says if verse 21, but the people said to Joshua, no. We will serve the Lord, we will serve the lone soldier, thank you, Father God, that we have so much in our Bible that we can follow it and that we can see what happened, how you guide it to people of Israel through all these times, that you were with them. Turns out, you never left us as stood in the same way. You are always with us, and never leave us here so we can rely upon you. Notwithstanding all the trials and tribulations that we may have to experience, that you never leave us that you are always there, you are consistent, that you are a God who loves each one of us. So we thank you, we praise your name. We worship You.
Donny Stockburn:Thank You, Lord.
Andy Hammond:We bless you. Yeah.
Donny Stockburn:Scripture again, Ben. About Lord's mercies his limitations? Not not. I'll go into that much. I don't know why. But this works so outstanding, and its limitations for the first 22 to 24. It's a word that goes along with everything that's going on this morning. It says, through the Lord's mercies. We are not consumed. Because his compassions fowl not. They are new every morning. Yeah, great is your faithfulness I swear to God, oh Lord, what what medicine that is great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion says my soul. Therefore I hope in Him or sure and certain hope you give us Lord, Father, God, artist, artist go back to that. It's a john a lot that don't names have mentioned with COVID. Lord, I pray in Jesus name. Those COVID wolves, Lord are getting a reputation. Once you go in there, you don't come out. I've heard it so many times, Lord. But that's so serious. It's so dangerous Lord, our pray. Now. Jesus walked through those COVID was every one in this nation. COVID ward in this nation, I pray that Jesus will walk through there these days, Lord, and miracles will occur and miracles people will come out farther God not because of the the medication, how wonderful is law, but because of the blood of Jesus and His promise, because of his great love to us, Lord, Lord, we just lift up those knives that stuck in my mind, john and Ma. No, no, pray, Lord, that You will deliver them. In the name of Jesus in the power of the name of Jesus. We see him walking through those wards. And that scripture, that when that leper knelt before Jesus knee and he said, Lord, if you're willing, you can heal me and reply, but Jesus seems as though he was offended by if you're willing, he and he just replied, I am willing. always willing, he never turns anyone away. Nobody just pray that you'll do miracles in these wards Father God, in COVID was finally God your turn those places into miraculous places, the Lord and we will live stories and testimonies. Lord, lies our five Lord and bring people to you, Lord, and restore your word and your love and your your possession to you, Lord, because this nation was your possession. Father God, we pray for restoration. We pray your bring us back, Lord. And we ask this in Jesus name.
Andy Hammond:Amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Father, we come before you and Lord all the names or the people father on the list this morning. We thank You, Lord, that You are with them that you are healing them that you are bringing peace, you are bringing stability, you are bringing hope. You are bringing love, you are bringing mercy and goodness around the bedside of the sick. Yes, so you are with the last because of the great power of predestination, the power of the blood of Jesus solo, we thank you that there is power in the name. power in the name of Jesus, Lord as we as we come to the table now Lord us, as Andy and Donnie are gonna lead us in communion. I pray Father that you will touch those that still feel very down within themselves those that feel very lost within themselves. We pray for a great awakening in their spirit in their heart, their mind, Lord, that they will feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. And they will know that their Redeemer lives. And because he lives I can face tomorrow. And the weapon formed against us shall prosper. Any tongue that rises against us in judgment or condemnation will not prevail. Father, we thank you for romans eight. Verse one, four, there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ. Thank you for what the law who was powerless to do, and for God's one and only Son, for the blood of Jesus, by marking peace on the cross for what the law was powerless to do. Christ came and set the captives free, the blood was shed. For each and every one of us the blood is a sign. So wherever you are on planet earth today, there is always hope. In Jesus, there is always hope. In Jesus, there is power. There is a life in the blood, as the scripture says, There is hope in His Word, there is eternal glory, and rest in His Word, His Word is yes and Amen. His Word cannot return empty ovoid. it accomplishes everything that it is set out to do. But what God's word is set out to do is the opposite to what our flesh wants. So Lord, help me bring me in line with the Word of God. As I come to Communion this morning, with my sisters and brothers around the world as we come in the name of Jesus as we be still, we thank you that we are sons and daughters of the living God. All things are possible to those who believe we're going to read from one Corinthians chapter 11, verse 23, and then Donnie will lead us in prayer for praying over the emblems that represent the blood of Jesus and the body of our Lord. For I've received from the Lord what I also pass on to you, the Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed, took read, and when he had given thanks, he broke it 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. To 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 brand or drinks of the COP of the Lord, in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and the blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat the bread and drink of the cup. Father, my life is a wreck without Jesus, my life is complicated, complex. Frustration running everywhere, your walls everywhere, but with the power of God, yes. walls come tumbling down. frustrations disappear. Fear runs, doubt your spouse, to the name of Jesus. There is no de nom de nomic satanic oppression dinamik attack, spiritual attack that is greater than our God.
Donny Stockburn:Thank you, Lord of the Good Shepherd.
Reverend Ben Cooper:The devil is a liar. Yeah. Lord, I just pray for the outside influences that are coming against us. Father, I thank you Lord, that You will block every spiritual inroad that the enemy is trying to get through to us. And there will be a fire around us. The Holy Fire God God, every arrow that comes from satanic realms and as it hits that fire wall, it is consumed and drops to the floor. Oh come on. Thank you for Lord purchase, purchase this morning. Purchase with the holy fire a God is saying father be the blacksmith Lord beat the blacksmith law put us in the fiery furnace and pull us out and tap us and shape us shapers father shapers father called me in the fire.
