Reverend Ben Cooper: 0:01

Hello and welcome to Elim church swanley, you're joining myself, Reverend Ben Cooper for today's podcast. Yeah, good morning around the world. We thank you so much for joining us today for online church service wherever you are, we can see people are starting to click in and join us online and we just say thank you so much for just come in and gathering around the screens. And wherever you are, you know, this is such a different way of doing church coffee and prayer is online streaming service. And we got Donnie with us this morning, we've got our lovely brother Glen, and we are missing one of our brothers, he is still away on holiday. So if he is watching wherever he may be identified campaigner tonight, if you've got Wi Fi wherever you are on the on planet Earth, we hope you are on a lovely break with your wife, Margaret, but we welcome everybody. Everybody this morning, may God bless you and strengthen you. Thank you so much for joining us online this morning. And as we just gather around the Word of God as we just be still and know. So we just thank you so much. Wherever you are today just continue to press into the Word of God. I really believe God is leading us a new way I do really believe that God is leading us in a new direction. You know, we're coming out. We've had a few moments, we've had a few moments of freedom. And there is so much being pressed across the airwaves that there possibly could be maybes, buts, if possible as of what might be coming through the winter. If you're living within the UK night, we just want to emphasize this morning, do not worry about your life. Do not worry about any situation. God is with you wherever you are across the earth today. And we just want to say welcome welcome. Welcome, wherever you are. And we just say Carmen, just rest this morning. Thank you for sharing these hours together as we gathered for coffee and prayer. And as we just be still and know that he's God, but I do believe God is leading us. I do believe this morning God is leading us into new beginnings, new areas of life new new pastures, new new greenery, new new fields of hope there is always hope. So wherever you are today, whether you're listening to this, for buzzsprout, or Spotify, I Heart Radio, or even for Alexa and for many different platforms that this goes out. We just want to welcome you today. And God is leading you. And the scripture that I have this morning is coming from the Old Testament is in the book of Exodus, Exodus, chapter 13, verse 18, and it says, so God led the people around the desert road towards the Red Sea. And the Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle? How are we ready for battle? Wherever you are today? Are we ready for battle and I'm not referring to battle with flesh and blood, your family or your friends or your work colleagues. I'm talking about the spiritual entities in the heavenly realms. You know, in the book of Ephesians, he talks about the Battle of warfare, he talks about the principalities and the the authorities, he talks about so much about spiritual warfare. I'm really interested in that text that I flicked open this morning in Exodus chapter 13. It says in chapter 13, verse 17, well, Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them around the road through the Philistine country, though that was the shorter way for God said if they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt, God led them, let the people around the desert road towards the Red Sea, the Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle? Are you ready this morning for what God has for you? Are you are you ready? are you dressed spiritually ready, the book of Ephesians tells us about putting on the full armor of God. And I really believe this morning, that we got to be dressed and we got to be ready. So may God bless you and strengthen you. We thank you so much as we just gather around the mics. And as we just be still and know that he's God. And I just thank you for joining us today. And as people are jumping online, I just pray that the power of the Holy Spirit will strengthen you wherever you are today. We welcome Don and, and, and Glenn this morning. But as we are just just gathering gathering for communion this morning, I just pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you and strengthen you, and that you will never ever give up. Never ever give up. Never give up wherever you are today. You know, put in your prayer requests and we'll pick them up. We're ready to go. And but are you dressed ready? are you dressed ready? Are you spiritually dressed it? Are you ready to press? Are you ready to go deeper than you've ever gone before? Are you ready? Because I really believe God is leading us. And it feels quite foreign that we've never been this way before. There is a shorter way to go. There is a shortcut. There is a shortcut. But I believe as the Scripture is so true. It's not the right way to go. Because if we go through the shortcut if we go through the short way, what we face could frighten us. But the way God is leading us God is leading you on a very different journey of your life. You are being led in a very different direction got you are being led in a very different way. A way that you would have not taken yourself away that you would not have experienced the presence of God like you're experiencing now, but it seems strange and it seems foreign to your very being. And I pray as you're watching online as you join us right now as you just gather around the camera with us as we prepare for Holy Communion, you are not alone, you are not alone. But you are on very unusual, a very different. And we could almost say it's a very foreign experience, a very foreign experience, God is leading you, you are not on your own. You are not a loose cannon, God loves you beyond human understanding. And there is a way in His name is Jesus. But just as the Israelites were led by God, there was no shortcut. There is no shortcut. There is there is no shortcut with God. But there is a shortcut in the world. Don't take the shortcut, be ready for the long haul. And be ready for the long distance. Endure, I really believe this morning. This is a very important word for me. We've got to endure. Wherever you are across the world we want to endure. God is leading you in a very, very different journey. And the scripture that we started off is in Exodus chapter 13. And verse 18, for your reference, God led the people around by the desert towards the Red Sea, God is leading you around. God is leading you in a new direction, God is guiding you but but go by faith. Don't go in your own strength. Don't go in your own understanding. Don't go, by the way your mind computes everything, don't go into knowledge. Don't go in academia, don't go in your own strength going God, God is calling you. There is such a short window, a very prophetic window. I believe that there is a very prophetic window at this moment moment. And God is calling. And it feels very different because we've had the voice of pastors and leaders and brothers and sisters, calling us when actually God has been very quiet for many years. But he hasn't left us nor forsaken us. And now we've hit this place this, this crisis place within the UK, we are spiritually dry. We are very thin, and we need to walk by faith. Religion is finished religion is over and gone. This is a new way God is leading us a new way a new direction. Religion is a shortcut, but it is a dead end. Religion is a shortcut. And we've been that way many, many times before. But what it says very clearly that God led them round the outside round the long way, a long journey, because if they would see if they could see if they experienced if they went in the short way, and they see what they was gonna face. They would have been very frightened. But God led them God led them away, away, took them on the outside. And I really believe God is leading you in a very different direction. It's quite an interesting text. As you look at that it says when Pharaoh let the people go, God led his people on the road for the did not lead them sorry for the Philistine place. But flow that was a shortcut for God said if they face war, they might change their minds. I think that there are many people facing battles. And you want to change your mind. Reverse reverse for a moment and say God, take me a very different way. I'm not going to go this way. Because I've been this way before I'm unfamiliar with the area of the Philistine land, I'm very familiar of this way. But Lord, I want to go your way. If they face these Philistines, if they face war, they might change their minds. So in the kingdom of God, it is always war, but not for us. Because the battle belongs to the Lord. Yes. And the Lord dispatches his heavenly hosts as it says in Psalm 91 to lift us up in their hands so that we will not strike our foot against the stone if we could see the heavenly hosts that are that are there looking after us if we could see what is going on in the spirit world. But we live back by our eyesight we live too much by materialism by culture, by society by what politics is coming out with. We're we've been pushed around by Brexit reset 21 we've got everything you know g7 everything's breaking out once these big drivers save the planet. You know what I just I love the planet. I love Planet Earth, but we can't save the planet because my bible tells me it's gonna burn up. Yeah, you know, it's all it's all well and good. Yeah. I agree with with living, right, but we've got to be careful. You know, because the devil is out there trying to take our eyes off of certain things. And we got to keep our eyes on Jesus. But this is very different, a very different way of starting this this morning. I believe God is leading you a very different way. And don't worry, don't worry. It's the long way. It's a long stretch. It's a long push. It's not a shortcut. Because if they face and go through the shortcut, they might face war. And they might change their mind. See, isn't it beautiful? Where the Bible talks about in the mind, and the spirits in the mind affects my physical, but my spirit. So where my spirit comes in and comes perfectly in line with God's word, then my body has to do what my, my inner man is doing. But when my eyes clock on what the world is doing, and I live by fear, I'm living by the physicalities. I'm not living by by the spiritual me. So I believe God is leading us. And the reason it feels very foreign, is because you literally got to go by faith. You got to go by faith, because what you see is bringing a strange reaction to your head, in your heart, on your mind. Go by faith, wherever you are today go by faith, whatever you face, you are not facing it alone, whatever your fears are. God has already gone. Christ has already gone the Holy Spirit's already gone before you. Just close your eyes, wherever you are today in this online streaming service. And just call out the name of Jesus. Yeah. Just call out on the name of Jesus. God is leading you God led the Israelites. Yes, the world wants to take a shortcut. Dip in an everything quick fire stuff, but but when you're walking with God, when you really want God, it's a long journey. Yeah, it's a long stretch. So calling to him this morning, wherever you are your list back listening to this podcast, through Spotify or buzzsprout, all the other platforms that we're using, or you might be with us online this morning, I pray that if you online this morning, and you're with us, I pray that the power of the Holy Spirit will strengthen you and guide you like never before and you will feel the fire of God. But you are on a long journey. You are on a long journey. Prepare yourself, consecrate yourself, you know, we've got to be set aside from the world. We're in the world. But we're not part of the world we work in the world. But we don't engage in the in the war that they're in. We don't engage in the the cultic activity that they may be in, you know, in the workplace, in certain areas of culture, ran by the school gates in university in life in just lots of areas of life there is that there's a heightening of the spiritual atmosphere, do you feel heavy? That's because of the spiritual atmosphere. Do not allow the enemy to keep firing the arrow of fear God is leading you. God has made our way. Just trust him. Just trust him. Father, in the name of Jesus, we go by faith today. And Lord to too many times we've gone through the shortcut, Lord and when we've seen the battle, we've changed our mind we've been switching, Lord and because when we see what we see in our naturalized Lord, it's too big for us to cap to handle. And Lord, as Moses said very clearly, who am I telling these people that is sending us if your presence does not go with us, I'm not moving. He said, so far that I are here that your presence will really be strong upon us today. Thank you for your love and your goodness will be upon our shoulders today. That we will fill their guard that we are in that position where you want us to be. I pray that you will stir hearts today Lord, I pray, Father, that you will draw people into you today I pray God that we will go on the long haul the long walk the long way Jesus but Lord, the narrow path, the narrow path, but the long way around, because Lord we might change our minds. If we see dear god what's before us if we're not led by you, we will be leading ourselves and if we lead ourselves we could be leading ourselves into areas of trouble. So Father, I ask you that you will need all of us as three here today. The sisters the brothers online today that may catch this live at this very moment or catch this up through the means of podcast and I just pray Holy Spirit that you will lead us lead Glenn lead on a lead me lead our brother Randy that's normally with us leader. Our church family that's online today that's watching that's listening at church family on in the world of podcast But Father we thank you that your power is with us and we are not alone. We are not alone. Even though Lord, it feels a very lonely journey. We are not alone. You are stripping people back. You are removing things from us you are dealing with us, Lord, you are drawing us we want to go deeper. Lord, I want to go deeper brothers and sisters, as you join us for church or do you want to go deeper in the presence of him? Do you want to walk in a deeper relationship with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit? Do you want to go deeper in His Word, because I really believe the father is calling you this morning. The father is calling you for a greater and a deeper, walk with Him. Not in an intellectual way, not in a religious way, not in the way the church would put it but but a way that is just a connecting with the Father, the God of Israel, where you completely surrender because that's what it is. I surrender all Lord, Father, I hand everything over to you today. And Lord, I just lay it down farther. I lay myself down because, Lord, I can't go through the shortcut. I can't do the shortcut. Lord, I can't do the quick fix that the world is offering because Lord is no fix. Father, it's another trap. So Father, I pray that you will help us to be aware of the snare layers that are out there, that we won't get caught in a snare. But Father, we are going on a long journey with Jesus, our Father is leading us the Holy Spirit is our counsel that we thank you that there is power, in the name of Jesus. And this morning, Lord, I asked you, that you will be with my sisters and brothers online wherever they are to they watch in at work, sitting in a coffee house, sitting at home on a school, run, walking, exercising, however they catch this online service this morning, I pray that they will feel the fire of God burning in their belly. And I thank you, Lord, I thank You Father, as sins are now that the cross of Calvary. And we are free this morning because of the blood of Jesus and my sisters and brothers on line and us three here today we are free because of the blood of the Lamb. Remove all fear remove all doubt. Father, we thank You Father that the battle belongs to the Lord. And right now Lord, You are leading us Lord on a long journey, a very different journey. Father, we thank you that there is a very different journey that we are on now this morning. A very, a very unusual journey father and Lord, it may seem strange to you. It may seem foreign to you, it may feel very unfamiliar. But God is leading you not through the shortcut. God is not leading you through the quick fix way. Because he says if they face war, it will affect that affect their minds. So I cannot allow what my eye gaze sees to affect me because what my eyes see do affect me what my ears hear, do affect me. But I gotta go. We don't live by sight we go we go by faith we we go by faith for sisters and brothers. I pray that you will go by faith I pray that you will believe just believe. Just believe as Jesus is telling all of us through His Word. Just believe. Just believe. Just believe. Just believe. And it keeps saying the same time and time and time again. Just believe. Just believe. So Lord, I pray this morning that our faith will rise That we will rise up on wings of eagles. And you will lead us into new areas. And I thank you for Glenn and Dawn and everybody online this morning. But Lord as we gather, draw us in, take us in, in Jesus precious name Jesus. Amen.

Glenn Walsh: 18:40

Amen. Amen way that we don't rehearse this and we'll sit here before we start saying what have you got nothing. And we're looking through the Scriptures trusting God to lead us I think the biggest challenge I faced this morning was actually getting into swaddling who still gonna stand still and anyone who lives near with no. But as dawn was praying, and I was led to certain scriptures, it's like the Lord speaks and confirms. And yeah, trust. God is so sovereign. I'm going to briefly look at Psalm 40. And Isaiah 61, just where I felt led just minutes ago. But how about this from Psalm 41? Verse nine is the sovereignty of God. This was written hundreds and hundreds of years before Jesus hundreds of years. Thank you. Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who I shared, my bread has turned against me as that for the non sovereignty of God. Yeah. Anyway, Psalm 40. So as Ben was saying, you know, in Germany, as Ben was saying, it's, it's a new thing. You know, there's no seasons, there's different gods leading. But there's that waiting and Psalm 40. I was reading this famous drone. It's the son of David. I waited patiently for the Lord, Amen. patiently for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my choir He lifted me out of the slimy pit, the mud and the mire. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand. Put a new song in my mouth, yes, hymn of praise to a god, many will see and fear the Lord and put that trust in Him. And then that some ties into Isaiah 61. And again, as Ben was praying, I look at this as the psalm of instead, instead of instead of, and it starts off, and our hope is in faith, and it is all about the Holy Spirit's leading in our lives, isn't it? A man to be Spirit led spirit filled temples of God, His Holy Spirit dwells in us and it starts, the spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives, and release from darkness for the prisoners in the center again, that actually translates the blind, yeah, to proclaim the year with the Lord's favor, and the day invention, so they've got to come for all who mourn and provide for those who are grieving zeile. Here is instead of to be stolen them a crown of beauty, instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise, instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called out of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor, amen to lords, we do pray for those this morning. You have a spirit of discretion. Instead of that, Lord, let the joy of the Lord be their strength. Come on, come and bring healing come and bring freedom. Lord, come and bring faith where they are looking at the land of what if were they looking at their own means? Give them the gift of faith? turn it all around, let it do Holy Spirit, come and meet with them. Lord, we pray for healing as well. For those with problems with their eyesight. The blind Lord, we pray in the name of Jesus be healed to let healing come even across the airwaves. We know it retinas, we find that cataracts will fall off. Lord, we pray for miracles. We've seen you do it before. For squints, yes, go straight in the name of Jesus. I've seen that. Someone who needed an operation a baby. And they were healed before the surgeon could get to them. Pros guys got I've seen him, come and release it Lord, and the brokenhearted. Lord, let your comfort beyond them. bind them up. We pray in Jesus name. Come on here. And then he goes on to say and this is our identity in him. And you will be called priests of the Lord. If you're a Christian today. I believe in the priesthood of all believers, I never priest, you don't go to God through a priest. You are oppressed. You have direct access to the Most Holy of how many places? Yes, Lord, Lord, release your identity. Let your spirit the spirit of the Sovereign Lord, be honest, all Thank you, God, you will be named ministers of add God, you are a minister. You have a calling. And God wants to put on instead of instead of wandering, instead of just being in those desert places, just say to him, what is my calling, Lord? What do you want me to do? For you are already approached, you are already a minister of your God, walk in that identity? Don't so to the flesh. So to your identity. I often rebuke myself if I'm going this way or that I say Come on, Glenn, you're a pastor. What do you think you're doing? Wake up. Speak to yourself. Come on. No, be disciplined with yourself. Because there is so much there is so much in the kingdom. The spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me. Because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. So Holy Spirit, we do pray for your people. We pray for ourselves. And we play more with you. Calm, Holy Spirit. Let your presence fall. Even in this room you say where even two or three are gathered. There you are, Lord, we're not about ourselves, but we are about you. And we just pray Holy Spirit come, fill your people for God bring hope, bring healing. And Jesus you said when the Holy Spirit comes, he remind you of everything. Yes, every counselor will come. Come and show us Jesus. America must show us Jesus manifesting in our lives for he is glorious in date.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 24:44

Amen. Wonderful, say,

Donny Stockburn: 24:46

Lord, I've never seen so many anxious young people on the streets and meet them all the time. And lord, i just, it just seems like there's an avalanche of souls that are not loden and looking for Well, don't know where to look for, father god If you ask me, one gift, what would you give to them? I would say, peace to all of them all those faces, as in those mental cases, thank you that loss, look, drift out a door with a bottle full of pills into wherever they go, a lord and, and, and you you can give him peace. Lord, Your Word says you can give them peace. But Lord, not peace in this world. Not that peace, Lord, but your peace. And Lord, just just want to pray this prayer to all those locked away in another world of mental illness or issues in life, perhaps in hospitals and stuff like that. Whatever you're facing right now, this prayer of peace, Jesus meant it for the disciples. And right here in john for john 14, first 27. If you got your Bibles to seven, look at that follow this. This is this is a period of time in the disciples life when everything seems to about to fall apart. last three years of traveling with Jesus and watching miracles and everything. All of a sudden, he says, I'm gonna go and believe in you. And who knows what was in our hearts, despair and fear and all kinds of issues. But Lord, you saw it, just as you see in our hearts. And the artists want to read you these words. This word is for troubled hearts, and for troubled minds, and all kinds of Lord and we bring it to you now the earth for this prayer, bring them all to you in his prayer, Lord. I'll just want to read off here from verse 26. Jesus was tasked to speak to the disciples about the Helper, the Holy Spirit, He says, but the helper the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all thing Come on, and bring you your remembers, of all things that I said to you. And this is a bit this is the this is the gift, peace. I leave with you. My peace I give to you. This is a gift, not as the world gives you to I give it to you. Let not your heart. We were talking about heart A minute ago. The heart is a great air, the very seat of life to strength, our bodies as souls and minds and spirits is speaking to our hearts here. This piece now says net not your heart, be troubled, neither let it be a fight. Come on. We aren't going to leave. Because that's the most beautiful thing. Lord, you know, what your disciples were about to face? You know, the battles, the inward ones and the outward ones, you know that on their own, they would never be able to make it louder. Now I've seen so many faces like that, on one of them. And on that night, you pass to them. The brand new church that is that so we're about to be the most powerful gift imaginable? Yes, they were empowered with supernatural gifts. And all but this gift was out of you. You gave it to them. It cannot be gotten from anywhere or anyone except you. Lord, this was a love gift, your piece not known as other gifts, the gifts it changed our circumstances, stuff like that. But a gift that was able to bring peace to us in all circumstances, a man get that word, all circumstantial thing. You can be in the midst of a storm, you'll be lying in a hospital bed. Now, you may have to send a news that you're you've got cancer or all those things. Or you may be just one of those poor souls who look away in with mental illness and locked away in a level world, Lord, and no one seems to be able to get to him. This piece is for them to this piece. This is for everyone. in all circumstances, no matter how quiet. Peace, Lord, we want your peace as you gave it to the disciples, then Lord, give it to us. That's what I'm praying for now. Peace. Gone, all those with troubled lines. I've particularly got this troubled mind with me at the moment about a troubled minds, Lord, and with nowhere to go godless, and no God. No life as simply all it means. No God, no life. You've got to get God in your life. You've got to get this piece of Jesus in your life. You've got you need it. It doesn't matter what. I've got this picture of Jesus in the boat in the middle of a storm. How come he was asleep in that era. You think you'd be some sort of fear in him, but he was sleeping in the middle of this For peace, because all was well in his life, because that's the reason when all is when in our lives, when we've got that peace of Jesus, we can face anything, we can face anything off. Because it doesn't come from us. We don't have to look within ourselves for this peace is a gift. Jesus, I give you what's in me what's in Jesus is transferred into us. I don't know the logistics of that. I don't know how he does it. But I have experienced it. And I can tell you, it's the most beautiful thing, Lord, and I'm praying that for everyone who's listening on or may know someone who is in need of that piece. Well, you see that that piece will solve the problem. So whatever is going on in alignment, whatever the issue is, that piece will come to you, Lord, that peace will restore your peace will hold your position. Your peaceful oldest to five Father God is a gift, light, love. It's Jesus, His love is a gift, his gift to us. He knew we would not be able to make it without this piece, Lord, and each of us have it. But in the battles Lord. Sometimes I get so fierce in so many Lord, that we can't we simply can't fight them all. But we can have peace. And I've experienced a lot I pray that it what I experienced that peace into storms, Lord, whatever was facing grief, sorrows, illness in the family's folder. God so many things have happened in his last year. I've lost count of them. And I've seen so many lost souls, Lord, but I do know this, that your peace, your peace will solve it all Lord Derby able to make it through the storms, whatever they are, Lord, we just pray, Lord, that You that gift, a peace you will transfer to all those now, in in this prayer session, Father God, we are praying that that transfer will take place in their lives, that they will get your peace, Lord, in the midst of whatever storm they're in Lord, whatever confusion is around the father, whatever their minds are like at the moment, Father God, that is a piece that pills can't cure. counseling, conquer, nothing can cure because it comes from our Lord. This comes from the highest of the highest. This is a piece Lord, that is a gift. And Father God pray for it now in Jesus name. For all those who are going through stones right now. We pray, Lord, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 32:37

Amen. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Exodus, Exodus 14, Exodus 14, beautiful textures tucked away there in the Old Testament, verse 13, do not be afraid Don mentioned it, he brought the New Testament scripture reference back out. And he said that do not be afraid. So Christ was telling the audience before him in the New Testament and I and we believe in the Old Testament as well. You cannot break and separate the two. So as done with bringing that reference, this one is relevant as well. 1000s of years old, verse 13, of Exodus chapter 14. And Moses said to the people do not be afraid, wherever they come from, very simply that come out of slavery, they've been free. Who the sun sets free is free indeed, man. Yes, Lord, but interesting. In Exodus chapter 13, in verse 17, it says, When Pharaoh let the people go, we are experiencing a spiritual press, as they experienced the physical. We are hearing from certain departments of the UK, we are seeing through government leaders, acting just like Pharaoh, they let the people go for a while. And then suddenly, there's a change. There's a wind of change, there is a serious wind of change across this earth wherever you live, whatever nation that you live in. Governments are changing what they say, moment by moment. Yes, Pharaoh changed his mind. He let the people go, the scripture says it verse 13, of Exodus chapter 13. When Pharaoh let the people go, controllers will not let us go for long they will not let us be free. They might try and hold us in the physical but they can't hold you spiritually. You are free because of the blood of Jesus. So we are living in a nation that is tightening down on our physical freedom, our movement, our movement, the way we move, the way we monitored the way we looked at the way they measure our lives that our spending patterns our our Our habitual ways that we live our lives is recorded. They know how we live. So we are living in a world we are living in a nation that is ramping up for the rapture of the church, oh man we are living in in days. So where this scripture was so relevant for them 1000s of years ago, it said Pharaoh, let the people go, the governor, the king, the one in charge, let them go for a while. Now we've got new things coming out. Plan ABCD, the whole alphabet will be thrown at us restriction restriction, the enemy will try to restrict you. Because if he can lock me down physically, it will affect my mental health. It will affect my well being. But I've got to be like Paul and Silas. When the governors and when the system want to lock me down, I sing praises to my God, I lift up the greatest name in heaven on earth. Yes. And as I praise the king, fear starts to move as a prize, the greatest name in heaven and earth, demons flee at the name of Jesus, see, you can chain me down, you can lock me down. But you can't stop me singing inside, you can put tape around my face. But I can still sing internally. You can do what you want to do to me, you can lock us you can physically put restrictions on us. But I can still praise my king. Because when the sun sets free is free indeed. You are free. To not because of that, that word that came out a number of months ago from from a government official Freedom Day. Freedom Day, that's what Pharaoh would like freedom. You're free. But you're not free. Cuz I'm coming back for you. I'll let you think that you are free. I'll play with your mind. See the world plays with the mind. Yes, look what the scripture said, as I read out and on we've been praying about. And it said God said that the if I if they go through the shortcut, they might change their mind. So your mind drives you when it shouldn't really drive me cuz I gotta go by faith, the mind and faith are so far apart. But it's both me. So I cannot go by what I see. And by what I hear, I cannot go through this trouble that is coming our way. There is a wave coming to the shores of the UK there is a wave coming. And all I will say to anyone is get yourself in a word of God. Get yourself in a word that God we are experiencing in time stuff. We are seeing things that I never thought I'd say experiencing things but it's nothing to be afraid of because the Scripture is backing us up. As Moses said to the Israelites, the Egyptians you see today, what does he say? Look what the scripture says if you've got a Bible, it turned to Exodus chapter 14 verse from verse 12. I'll read it. Did we not say to you now these are the children of God. Leave us alone. I would press anyone this morning that wants to go back to religion. I would love to have a conversation with anyone that wants to go back to the old church stuff because that is not the Church of Jesus Christ. There's a new way. There's a fresh way. Did we not say to you in Egypt, leave us alone? Let us serve the Egyptians. It will be better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a desert. Moses answered the people. Do not be afraid. What did Donnie read from the New Testament Do not be afraid. The Old Testament is emphasizing this. It is bringing it home this morning. Do not be afraid but stand firm. And you will see the deliverance The Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you. You only need to be still ormoc God hallelujah. Jesus. Yes. I just got to follow him. Let him into your lives today.

Donny Stockburn: 39:14

Yes,

Reverend Ben Cooper: 39:16

that's a that's an unusual thing to say. Let him into your life because he's chosen us. He's watched us he's he saved us. As Roman says while I was still a sinner, he decided to save me. In my darkest hour he chose to send His Son john free 16 sisters and brothers church online podcasters Do not be afraid. How do you replace keep in the Word of God. Get yourself a paperback version. Get yourself a Bible that you can hold in your hand. Get yourself a word of God that you can look and you can read. It's great having the the electronical version. It's great having the electronic one in front of you. But there's nothing like a paperback version or the Word of God that you can you can have Hold on, you can move in, come on church, you got to hold your place you got to stand firm. You are a child, you are a child of the living God. You are a daughter of the Most High You are a Son of the Most High you are. You were born for greatness you you are created for him and his good pleasure. You know, the devil is trying to mess with your mind. The devil is trying to mess with your eyesight. The devil is trying to mess with your vision, your focus. He is trying to fire arrows of fear towards you, but you are a child of the living God and hold your place stand firm. But as you stand firm this morning, I would urge you to do what Ephesians chapter six says is put on the armor of God. Put on the full armor, the full armor, put it on today. Keep it on today, speak the Word of God over your life. Keep pressing in, never give up. You know if you've never read the Word of God, before getting the book of Psalms, read Psalms, just read the book of Psalms just let the word wash in you. And through you. You have been chosen for greatness. God wants to wipe away your tears. God has taken away your fear. He has taken away the mental health issues he is dealing with your children. He is dealing with the marriage he is dealing with those that are single those that are going through divorce, he loves you unconditionally. The single parents He loves you unconditionally. Wherever you are, today, the property goes he loves you unconditionally. But it is such a clear message today. Do not be afraid and stand firm. If you're in that mode. And that miry pit as Glen read out today, Christ will stretch out the right hand and he will draw you out the pit. Just call on the greatest name in heaven and earth. We're coming around the table soon Glen is going to lead us in the broken bread and Don is going to lead us in the taken the cup but never give up. I cannot emphasize this enough. Never give up. Press in to Christ push into the Word of God. Stretch out like you've never stretched out before. But Exodus chapter 14, verse 13, and Moses answer the people do not be afraid stand. And you will see the deliverance of the Lord will bring you God will bring the deliverance to you. Through you he will get it to you and He will give it for you and He will deliver it to you. You haven't got to go and find it. You haven't got to go and fight for it. Because verse 14, The Lord will fight for you. The Lord will fight for you. You only need to be still. We're coming to the table. Glenn's got some scripture. I can feel it. Yes.

Glenn Walsh: 42:37

Well, no, is the word of God where you know, as Ben was reading, I'm just thinking what a supernatural God we serve. I have faith everything is all about God's activity. As Exodus 14 goes on, I love verse 19, a man Then the angel of Gods who've been traveling in front of Israel's army withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Who would you rather have on your site? We want a man or the angel of God who stand alone. Yeah. Yes. So, so amazing. And I've also been thinking this supernatural lead people. Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 43:21

Yeah,

Glenn Walsh: 43:21

suddenly, as they become a nation as they reject King and have Earth, reject God and earthly kings, although God redeems that, and then there's David. And then there's the son of David Solomon, and then there's the temple to chronicle seven. So they've now got the temple. When Solomon finished praying, this is the dedication of the temple. Fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices and the glory of the Lord filled in temple. Yes, priests couldn't enter the temple. Yeah. They couldn't enter it. They couldn't enter the temple of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord filled in when all the Israelites so the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord about the temple, ma now on the pavement, with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks saying, He is good. He's loving Jewish forever. It's all about focus, fear. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom. David, the man who feared the Lord fr saw a Philistine giant and said, Who is this uncircumcised Palestine? Hold tight. Yeah, hold tight. And this is the God of glory, the one who spoke the universe into being the one who will bring the nation's low there but dusty him is the one who so loved the world. He said, his one and only Son, that whoever, whoever believes in Him will not be a wish. Thank you, Lord have eternal life. And Jesus on that last night with his disciples said, I have eagerly desired some longed to do. In this video, we explained everything. And he refers to the Passover that is at the Passover meal when they took the bread and he said this bread you break. So what about me? So what about my body, the Lamb of God to give us one broken for us God's plan of redemption is in himself, there was no sacrifice, great enough to remove us in. No one from Adam, to the last human to be born, was righteous enough, said God did it all. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Virgin Mary gave birth to a baby, who was conceived through the Holy Spirit, and His name is Jesus. And he lived that perfect life. He didn't come away. He didn't come to do away with the law. He came to fulfill it. And he fulfilled it totally. And then surrendered his life to the cross. And for the joy set before him, he endured the cross, and that joy is our redemption. He so loves us. He wants us to be with him. So his body was broken, for you and me, and he took our sin upon himself. Thank you, though, and he exchanged his life of righteousness for our lives of filth, and we were crucified with Him. And as he is raised from the dead, we will be raised with him. For we are His he is ours, in a covenant relationship through his body broken for us. Yes. Let's take the bread together.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 46:39

come on, Amen. Thank you, Glen. Thank you, Jesus.

Glenn Walsh: 46:43

Jesus, we thank you that you did it all for us. And then nothing can snatch us from your hand. Nothing. No Angel, no demon, not past not present, not the future. Nothing in all creation can separate us from Your love that was bought for us. We've been rents and paid for, by you. Secure forever. Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 47:05

Amen. Amen. Thank you. Before Donnie says anything, I just want to emphasize again, stand firm. Stand firm, wherever you are today. Stand firm on the Word of God. Hold your place. Your miracle is coming over the horizon. It's, it's, it's part of you. God is speaking very clearly and very loud. He's calling you. He's calling you back. He's calling you in. He's calling you to a deeper walk with him. And he's leading you on a longer journey. But let me just say this before, Donnie brings us to the the blood the Crimson Tide this morning. Pharaoh's coming. Pharaoh is coming.

Donny Stockburn: 48:03

Yes,

Reverend Ben Cooper: 48:04

hold your place. Yes. Believe in the Word of God. And how time God bless, you

Glenn Walsh: 48:13

know, just before dawn goes into that as well. Something Ben said earlier, and I do believe there's, you're the Lord's, you're listening today. And you've got distracted, and God wants you to refocus and you've found everything in to the planet, save the planet, save the planet. And just between you and me, God is saying to you read Isaiah 24 and refocus. It's bigger than just the planet. It's, it's about salvation and eternal redemption, not this temporary dwelling something.

Donny Stockburn: 48:45

Oh, man. Now God bless you, thank you, Lord, for these words, words of life, long life, life, life, we all live through life. Not this temporary life but eternal life. Going as Glenn was speaking to us, and he said something very significant. In the days when the only the high priests could go into that inner space. And and just them nobody else could go. And God spoke to me and said, but now I will interview we couldn't get into that holy, holy places. But God says, Now our will come and live in you. Live in us very Cujo is in us as the opposite to everything Christ in us. And a lot of it is thank you that you might or why they're agreed. This was written long before then and Ben's Bose is Jesus loves you. It's never too late to call on his line. Jesus loves you. Get it right with God. The blood of Jesus has been shed. It's finished. It's nothing to us to do but to take it and not read. Someone said the other day that we don't die because we don't believe we die because we reject Jesus. Don't reject Him. This is life, to be believe in Him, to have him living in you. God says, all come and live in you. Some people on the streets have said, Where's God in all his turmoil? Why doesn't he do something about it? And the answer is because God does not live in his world. But he will come and live in you. Praise God, as his answer Colossians one I think, first 27 is the core emotion of God's plan for mankind. And it says simply, Christ in you is the conclusion of it all. That's his plan completed, Christ in us, Christ in us, and all God is in Christ, we'll come to that peace that we long followed. And so Lord, this is a blood. This is the blood that Amen, Lord, Your sacrifice. us serve us. And Lord, we just thank you for in Jesus name. Amen. Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 51:06

Thank you, Jesus. Yeah, Father, I thank you that I'm able to come to you this morning with my brothers and sisters, online, wherever we are today, Lord, and say, Father, I thank you for the the blood of Christ. The Crimson Tide that we shared at Calvary is cross from the garden of guest seminary to the cross, Thank You, Jesus. Amen. Thank you, Lord, how can I say thank you enough? I just can't. He doesn't seem strong enough the word Thank you. But what you've done for me if you can do it for me? How much more can you do it for everybody else? If you set me free, if you've give me a hope and a future, how much more can you do for the rest of humanity on this earth? So Lord, we thank you that we've been able to take bread together, we thank you that we've taken up the cup together, we thank you that we're able to have church together in the week online. What a privilege it is to take bread together to break that bread and, and to remember that that bread is very symbolic of your body being broken. As we break that bread as we take that cup as we've just come before you today, Lord, just just as I am. I believe I believe I believe in your word. I believe that you are the king of kings and the Lord of lords. I believe, God that you sent your one and only Son to die upon across to give me a hope and a future. I believe in Genesis all the way through to Revelation. I don't understand it God. I can't quite get it all. But Lord, I believe it. You said it, you done it. So that's a good and for me, Lord, that to do with me. I believe the Lord I pray that you will help us as believers, as children of the living God, Lord that our faith will rise, Lord and it will accelerate as well alone. Remove the blindfold, remove the blinkers. Let us see how Pharos tactics are coming towards us today. As we hear the voices across the news channels across social media, as we see on the screens, as we are hearing different ways to stop our movement control. The Lord, you tell me, you tell us that the word of God who the sunsets free, is free. Indeed, Paul and Silas were free. They was physically locked down, but they praise their God. They sang psalms and hymns and they lift up the greatest name if you feel trapped today. Lift up the Greatest Name. If you feel wary today, lift up the Greatest Name. If you feel lonely today, lift up the Greatest Name. That the name of Jesus every knee shall bow on the earth under the roof. every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Donny Stockburn: 54:33

Yeah. I just want to remind you again of that word. Jesus spoke to his disciples and to us his new church said Peace. Peace I leave with you. My piece. I'll give it to you. Not as the world gives. Do I give it to you. Let not your heart be troubled. Neither Let it be off. FIDE Jesus peace he gives it is a gift. He will not take back. Peace. It can calm the agency and commerce in any storm in the midst of any battle inward, inward battles as well. Some of the worst battles are right close to us even in our families. Lord, you can you can deal with them you can give us peace in those times, Father God, Lord, that's what we need so much in this world today right now, Lord, as we are in the turmoil of these last days, Father God give your church peace. Lord, give them peace now, Lord, whatever is going on in their lives right now. Give them peace, amen. Pray for peace in our lives, Lord, your peace, Jesus, not the world's peace but your peace, your gift, your gift of love to us, Lord, we pray for it now in Jesus name. Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 55:54

Amen. Glenn is gonna just bring us to a close, we got two minutes, we're just gonna close. And we thank you so much for joining us today on the online church service.

But the Lord rises upon you. And he's a grown man his glory appears his father, the nation's will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn or to lift up your eyes and look around us all assemble and come to you. Your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip. Then you will look and be radiant your heart or throb and swell with joy.
