And we thank God for you and good morning. Good morning. Let's get straight into Psalm 23. Psalm 23. You know, it is a simple Psalm. It is an easy Psalm, it just opens up and it just moves. So we thank God that He is our shepherd so let's just let's let's read this if you've got a Bible, wherever you are, open up the Word of God if you're out walking and listening to us at this moment, if you're at home and your your regular online church with us that we thank God for your lives. And we're in Psalm 23. And we'll give you the reference points as we go. We'll give you the scriptures Yes, we see these prayers coming on. Yes, Lucy we see you online. We see Francis we see every all these other names that are coming through for the different streams that we've got. So we will mention you on the way through so we will be in prayer we will try and get through the list. And yes, it's great. Please, please can you share that out it is important to send these prayer requests in. So if he can push these over however we get them in via email, we can pick that up we can pick them up via text WhatsApp, however that may be, you know, even on on screen now we're picking all these up. So we thank God that this is coffee and prayer but Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He refreshes my soul He guides me along the paths of righteousness for his namesake. Even though I walk through the valley, or the darkest valley, I will fear no evil. For you are with me your rod and your staff. They comfort me You anoint my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Beautiful Psalm, the Psalms, Psalm 23. Very simple, just six verses. But let me take our attention to verse four. Even though I walk through, I'm just on a walkthrough. I want to emphasize this morning. We are asked for here. And our brothers and sisters around the world when you capture this, you're just on a walk through. You're walking through. Your name is stamped in the Lamb's book of life. Maybe your shall we say for a quick fired way. In and out maybe of church religion, Christianity, however you want to label that but God is calling you. God is calling you and he is walking with you in your darkest moments. God is with you wherever you are. Maybe you've been in church for many years. And you're tired of religion God is with you on your walk through Psalm 23 Verse four even though I walk through I'm walking through. We're walking together we are on a journey together. We're on a on a corporate walk. Let's put it like that the kingdom of God where we're a buddy we're part of the Kingdom of God we're walking through together. But also we have another walk through a very lonely walk through. And when I say lonely, it is on the human on the physical side, but the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit is with you. You may feel very lonely at the moment. And you feel that you are walking through completely on your own. You're not on your own. You've got the Godhead with you, you got the King of glory with you, you got the counselor with you, the word of God is with you. You are on a walk through. And the quicker I realize I'm on a walk through, the stronger I will find my face starts to rise. Because this walkthrough the devil has, he has no he has no influence on me whatsoever. He might be trying, he might be my coat towels. There, some as the scripture says, The dogs are out the mutual lighters of the flesh. You know, the fox is at the ankles, the dogs you know, it might be broken out in every area of your life and whatever you are going through at this moment you are walking through, you are on a walk through Psalm 23. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, the darkest, the darkest, however dark it may be, we know science is very powerful. It is a God given scientists make a claim and a statement that is very fierce and very powerful. Darkness only exists because it has no light has entered into that dark place. Darkness only exists because light has not revealed itself into that area. As soon as light comes in. Darkness has to change. Light never changes, light stays light. But the dark place suddenly becomes a brighter place. Light is greater than darkness. You are carrying the Word of God. You are a child of the living God. But your life at this moment looks quite dark on the outside. But don't fear don't fail. Look at what what I mean by dark. I'm not talking literally about fallen angelic demons. I'm not talking about the Fallen around you. I'm just talking about culture and life because life at the moment can be very hard and a very hard press and it may have in the season that we're in this weather system that we're in the season. Darkness is dropping early. You know the clocks have already clicked and we're we're into that that winter progress with pushing through or terminal wherever whatever the calendar says about the seasons but we are in a season in this nation of darkness even if the sun was shining because of the spiritual atmosphere. So the psalmist Psalm 23 Even though I walk for even though I walk through the darkest valley I will fear no evil for you are with me. That is our safety net.
Donny Stockburn:Yes.
Reverend Ben Cooper:I will fear no evil. I will fear no evil for you are with me. We're going to say this very clearly this morning. God is with you. God is with you. He is with Donnie he is with Andy. He is with Glenn He is with me he is with everyone that is clicked online this morning. God is with you. But you may be experiencing a walk through. You are just walking through. Even though I walked through. I've got to go through because of insurance. I've got to go through because he's called me to come through. I've got to go through the valleys I've got to reach the mountains I've got a weep I've got a cry, you know, look at the scripture says it is so clear. And then when it talks about the value of back are what a journey through the valley of Baqarah. That long, hard, joyous journey where some people won't even make it but you are making it. You have made it. Not because of you. But because of him. Not because of your skill set. Not because of your finances, not because of the way that you that you live your life but because of him. Everything is about Him and for Him and you are on a walk through. You are walking through a dark place. But the dark place has no power over you. Because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. He is with you. Here's your light. Here's your Psalm 119 Your word is a lamp unto my feet a light for my path. He is your light. He is your guard. He is your shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd. I lacked nothing. Say that to yourself this morning. I lacked nothing. I lacked nothing. Because I have everything through the Godhead. I have everything through the word of God. I loaded with word. I am loaded with his presence you are you are loaded. You are filled to the full measure. God has not just given you half a blessing. God hasn't given you half a salvation. He has saved you. He has watched you. He has set you free. You are on a walk through. So there we are. We're in coffee and prayer. Good morning. Good. Welcome. Good and talk. No, boys, gone by lingo. Praise the Lord. Come on. We're in coffee and prayer. We got a prayer request coming through. God is good. He is faithful. He is just, he's a God of love. But he's also got a rough. He's got a judgment. He's got older. He's got a planning. He's got a structure. And he's a god of, I'm going to do what I'm going to do when you're going to do it, Lord, I'm doing it now. Suddenly, he's a god of the sudden explosion can I use that? Is the God of the sudden now the Holy Spirit has exploded. So we're in, come on. Yeah.
Glenn Walsh:You were praying earlier. And you said, when he was reading from Psalm 23, you actually said this paper that they're allowing for you said that I was looking at Psalm 25. But also Psalm 23. I was listening, of course, and Psalm 25, verse 16, as you said, that it says turn to me and be gracious to me. I am lonely and afflicted. Yes, I do believe there's people listening today and you feel alone. You feel that solitude you think nobody can relate to you. And as the song goes on, it says, Turn to Me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted, the troubles of my heart when large bring me out of my distress, consider my affliction, and my travel and forgive all my sin. And this is another Psalm of David. Looking back at Psalm 22. Ben also said earlier about the docs, and David worldprofit work in verse 16. For dogs in compass me, a company of evildoers in so call me. They have pierced my hands and my feet, I can count all my bones. They stare and gloat over me and they divide garments among They divide my garments among them, and they cast lots for my clothing. We know that's Jesus. And then back to Psalm 25, verse 14, you think no one understands Jesus does. Amen. The friendship of the Lord, actually, that friendship is also translated the secret counsel, glory, the friendship, that secret counsel, God's revelation of his own heart, is for those who fear him. Yes, and he makes known to them. He's covenant. You're not alone. You're never alone. Jesus said, I am with you always. He's with you. In your affliction. He's with you. You may be alone, but you don't need to be lonely. He's with you. He is your friend. And he also said to his disciples in John's gospel, I don't call you servants. I call you friends, because friends know each other's business. Back to this, that secret counsel, that plays brought you to a place to hear his voice. He's brought you to a place where you need to be still and just say, speak, Lord. There's an intimacy with God, which is above all things. He is a treasure. He is a great reward. So Father, for those who are listening for those who feel alone. Yes, father, yes. You said, I'm with you always, always. And I pray that they would get that revelation that you are with them. Never will you leave them never will use forsake them. Never will you reject them. Speak over their lives, speak over their circumstances. Bring your presence, bring healing. bring hope for Lord your plants were set to do us good. And even what the enemy plant to destroy us. You turned around for good. You always do. So Lord, bring your blessing. Send your Holy Spirit and let them feast on your good delights. In Jesus name. Amen. Lord, we thank You for this covenant as well. Yes, you make known the covenant. It's not a loose friendship. It's not a someone we associate with or someone we know about its covenant. Just like Jonathan and David when Jonathan took off his robe and placed it on David. He took off his bow in his belt and his elbows and gave them to David. And David took his place. Yes, you've done the same for us, Jesus. You've given us your robes of righteousness. So if you're feeling wretched today, you're seated with Him in heavenly realms. You are clothed with the right justness of Jesus Christ, he's taking your sin. He was pierced for our transgressions. And he died for us. What love Thank You, Jesus, we are purchased and sealed in covenant relationship with God that nothing can break. Come on.
Donny Stockburn:Can I just share with you something about prayer, the I believe firmly that God is calling His Church, His true church into a much, much deeper prayer life. I mean, some, in some ways, it's helped myself immensely for my prayer life. And, you know, we all need some help. And so I'm just going to share this with you, perhaps, hopefully, will do for you what this did for me, and a famous quote, a famous preacher no longer with us, wrote this, and it's helped me Sam pine is going to help you as well. It says, since this when you pry, pray with honesty. It says, price simply pray with knowledge, pray with the heart, and pray with faith, asking for what you need boldly. It says in Hebrews 416, we always seem to feel the worst. But Holy Spirit tells us to pray for the best. And you get that in Psalm 37. First seat for prayer is not the last thing for us to do. It should be the first thing we tow Yes, fall under each time I've seen the Bible personally. And all the great battles are not fooled by ones he ordered great battles. God has always called his people to prayer beforehand. And the Joshua fight and has a color to great examples. And in these days, is a quite battle coming up. And God is calling us to prayer now. And it's a very real thing, a very real battle. And, Lord, I pray that for everybody, who are you drawn into that prayer room, in that battle loom, which is a lord is a really tough life of prayer. Lord, there you give us that strength, Lord, God, that picture of Moses, when he was on the hill looking down Israel fighting in a war, and the act of God said, Hold your hands up. And as long as he held his hands up, they had victory. But only when he weakened and dropped his arms. They started to lose the battle. And then he got two people to hold his arms at Father we pray that in our pro life, you will be the one who holds our arms up, you'll be the one who is a strength net, perhaps you'll be the one who guides us through what we need to pry for fun is a very real war, Lord, and Prayer is a powerful weapon. And Lord and you work through it, Lord, and we just pray now in Jesus name. Now that you will start assembling in your true church, this prayer warriors, book guide if you like, whatever it's called, Lord, to face these ties are coming soon. And we ask this in Jesus name, amen.
Reverend Ben Cooper:Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Father, we just rest. We just rest with you, Lord, Come Holy Spirit.
Andy Hammond:Yeah, Come Holy Spirit, we all should come and be with each one of us here. As we sit in this recording. Studio, we also ask you to go and be with all those at home, wherever they may be tuning in, maybe they're on a break at work that you will be with them. Bring your presence, bring your comfort, bring your healing, Father Look. And we we pray, especially this morning for that request. We just come in for the lady who has problems with a pregnancy and she's going for a scan We pray Father God, so you are you are creators, new creator, your life. And Father we asked you now to bring your presence that all will be well his and all manner of things as well. And we pray that Father, because you are God that you know all things and that you have the best for each one of us. And Father we just thank you for today that we've reached today. We we've got you with us how amazing that is that we can walk with you and that you Walk with us. And we thank you Father that there was that sacrifice that you made. I'm always amazed that you went to the cross and tied. So yes, Father said that we could have life. And you didn't promise us any kind of life. Your word says that we should have life in all its fullness. So, Father, we asked you to come with us, in this walk in this life, yes, lot. We know things aren't always going to be well. But you walk with us all the same. You're there. You were reach out and stop us from stumbling. You pick us up when we fall. You bring your healing. We just thank You that we can be in relationship with you. Father, God, the creator of the world. I just think of our early discussion before we went on air about creation, and how fast it is. And well, I think most of us can't get our head around anyway. But you are there. We just think of Scripture that describes how life came into being. It's so amazing that we can be proud of relationship with the Creator of the world, hallelujah Creator of the universe, right. And we only have to stand in the evenings and just look at the stars. 1000s upon 1000s of stars, and your Word says that you by hand, put them into space. How amazing. So we thank you for that we just want to come before you this morning, knowing that you're with us. But knowing that you're with us, it really does mean that we need to be committed to you. You've committed yourself to us through your Son Jesus. Amen. What is our commitment? And I just done. My Bible was open Daniel this morning. And when the king built this, said 90 foot statue of, of gold and called everyone to come into the square. And they had to bow down. And Daniel and his colleagues said, No, we're not going to do that. And there was that absolute commitment from Daniel, who knew her sculpt was practical, he was with him. And it was even if he was put to death, he said, I will not. I will not bow down. And Father, we just pray for all those folks that are listening this morning, there have so many things put in front of them that are not a Veer. And we pray Father that all those statues that come along, or those gold and silver temptations that come along, we pray Father that we and I will make a stand for you. We pray for all those who have committed to you. And we pray for those who are listening who are teetering on the edge of that commitment. Yeah. Yes, Lord. You just let them hear Your word, calling them and I just repeat the words that I heard. You're either for me or against me. There's no halfway you need to make a decision for Jesus. No halfway. He's got to be fully committed to you. So you need to be fully committed to him. Just make that decision this morning. We pray, Father that that will be so for men in this morning. That day will come before you and say, Yeah, I'm fully. I'm committed. Yes, father, be with me this morning, Jesus come and fill my life to overflow. Thank you, Lord. Thank You.

Father, you gave us your very own son, Lord, moving revival power us, Lord. We don't want to be swept here and there by every wind of doctrine. We have all these new doctrines that are sailing around the nation saying, come down here, come over here, Lord, we have about a great work, just like Nehemiah said, when we refused to come down. We want to see human. We want to see your Holy Spirit, leading the church again, just like in the book of Acts. So come and move again, Lord. And for those who are saying, when I'm ready to receive the Holy Spirit, you'll never be ready. You've been made ready for Jesus, you need the Holy Spirit to be an overcomer. So Phyllis, Lord fill us in Hebrews 725 and Kunal, Jesus says, so Well, the writer says, inspired through the Holy Spirit. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost, it also translates he is able to save completely. It also translates he is able to save at all times, in every way. Yes, for those who draw near to God through Him a man since he always lives to make intercession for them. Jesus is praying for His church right now. Yes, praying for you. He's praying for me. Thank you. And he's prayers are always answered. Yes. The father never says no to the Son, amen. Through Him. It also says in John, one, John, that he is our advocates. He stands with us, and he's for us. He's pleading for us. Not only does he intercede, he goes before us. He also stands with us and goes behind us. He's able to save us completely. Every work he does is complete. Lord, come and visit the nations. In your completeness. Yes, father. And then Roth. Remember mercy. In Ross, remember mercy. Lord, I pray that you would call the church once again to repentance, that we would not settle on the wrong side of the Jordan, that we wouldn't settle for where we are now that we wouldn't make allegiances with the world and embrace sin. In stage we'd call the world to repent with us and follow yours are getting close to you for you are their reward. You are our reward. Yes, you are Lord, and we been made holy in you. So let us pursue holiness. Yes. Far, not going the other direction, trying to say is it okay to do this? Is it okay to do that? No, it's not. But it is okay to be transformed into the likeness of Christ. Calm, Holy Spirit. We need you. Were bang, we need it. We can't do this through the flesh. Only by your Spirit. And the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to His temple suddenly come as I think Ben prayed earlier, he suddenly breaks out Yeah, I feel your church again and Lord with holiness, that holiness there when also when I broke the ground, when he went to a place he shouldn't have been any touch the ark, he dropped dead. That's the God we serve. Not got to compromise not a God who really knew racists in He's the God who dealt with saves, and took it upon himself and paid ruthlessly for it, that we may be free. Amen. Thank you, Jesus for your blood without that we lost but with that, we are saved to the uttermost

Andy Hammond:The thoughts that have been going through my mind as we reached this stage is that saw the news yesterday of the trials and tribulations happening in Afghanistan. Were families going hungry because of drought. And things have not been good since the Taliban took over in that country. And there was an interview on the news I saw of a family of seven, seven children and they're living on a slice of bread. Totally.
Reverend Ben Cooper:No cheese slice
Andy Hammond:of bread. Oh, God, holy Sprenger if it gets any worse than that. If the drought continues, the parents were saying that they would have to sell their daughters for marriage
Reverend Ben Cooper:on board, please God. what have we come to?
Andy Hammond:how awful. And it was true that the daughters were terrified by this. I mean they were 15 and 16 years old, I thought how awful. And, and the wars that are happening and more rumors of war. But it might be turn it anyway to this passage in John, where Jesus talks about he being the bread of life. And verse 35 of chapter six says, Then Jesus declared, I am the bread of life, who who comes to Me, will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me, will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe, or that the Father gives Me will come to me, and whoever comes to me, I will never drive away, for have come down from heaven, not to do my will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of Him who sent me that I shall lose none of all that He has given me. But raise them up on the last day. Yes, for my father's will, is that everyone who looks to the sun, and believes in him shall have eternal life. And I will raise him up on the last day. Father, we thank you for those words. It says, played as anything, when we read that, who looks to the sun, and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I was facing up on the last day. So Father, we pray that prayer over our nation, Nation will look to you. And may be so that they realize who you are, that you are the Son of God, therefore, and that you came into the world to give up your life so that we could have played father. So we pray that scripture this morning, over the airwaves, and whoever reads it now, go and look up the whole passage of Jesus being the bread of life in John six. Read it, digest it. Pray through verse by verse. And that promise, you will have eternal life. We so we take the spread this morning. Remembering that you gave up your life for each one, sorry, thank you.
Donny Stockburn:I'm. Just gonna read a few words from one Corinthians, chapter six, verse 19, and 20. And it says, or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were born at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body. I just want that, that they are there for you were bought a price, a price. This was the price, the blood of Jesus cost him everything costs God everything, to buy us. A will is vessels. And he fills us with the Holy Spirit. And actually is dwelling in all those who were born again now. That is spirit and this is the price that was paid for us. Take our sin away and give us His Holiness, the blood of Jesus who it is thank you for the Lord in Jesus name. Amen. on grammar
