Hello and welcome to Ealing church when the you're joining myself, Reverend Ben Cooper for today's podcast. Yeah, good morning, wherever you are this morning we just say my god bless you and strengthen you. Thank you so much for joining us today on this online church streaming service coffee and prayer. We got coffee, we got prayer, we got Bibles, we've actually got Bibles in the Lord's house. And the church is allowed to have Bibles, believe it or not. So we got Bibles with us today, we're in you know, being a bit flippant this morning. But good morning to everyone that's joining us for the podcast in later on at this recording goes out. But all those that are hopping online, they're going to join us for coffee and prayer. Thank you so much for joining us. Wherever you are across the world today. May God bless you and strengthen you in the mighty name of Jesus and the hand of the Lord be upon you. We're going to dive straight into Psalm 141, Psalm 141, as we just get ourselves settled down here. And wherever you are, today, I just pray that God will give you peace, I pray that God will just strengthen you and be with you. And you will feel just the presence of the Holy Ghost in your life. And you will just find a way forward, you know, God is going to just draw you and bless you and heal you wherever you are today. Thank you so much. We got Glenn with us today. We've got Andy and we got Donnie and myself. And as we just gathering around the mics as we just lift up our garden, our king as we just look at this timeline that's coming through as we pray as we stand and as we sit as we be still Good morning. Good morning, may God bless you. And may God just continue to guide you. But we are living in very unusual times we are seeing and hearing things coming out of different departments that we never thought we'd hear and see again. But do not let fear grab ahold of you do not allow that the atmosphere on the outside to grab you. You are a child of the living God and just do not live do not live by what the world is trying to say. And trying to hurt you. If you are a believer, you know the way if you are just dropping into this this morning and you feel a bit of a pole a bit of a target bit of a drawing into this church service this morning God has already speaking to you. You know it is not the human that chooses him. It is the supernatural God the God of Israel. He is the gift giver and you are being drawn into His presence wherever you are today. Whether you back listen to this through the podcast, through Apple music through iHeartRadio bus route or Spotify, or wherever you join us right now on this online live, church streaming service. God is speaking directly to you. And once again, we thank you to all those that have been downloading these podcasts 1000s It's just amazing. The online church is growing. But we're here we are here in the Lord's house and you are with us. And as you hear the rustling of paper, you might even hear the scuff scaffolders outside the bricklayers we are sitting on the edge of the church. And this room is just right in the thick of all the big building project going on. So if you hear noises, if you hear singing, you might even hear some strange noises from the outside. It is not the spirit world, it might be a scaffold, or it might be a brick law. But we are just giving you the heads up because this is live this is this is not rehearsed. This is not edited in any way so that anything could happen today. But let's keep it in the Word of God, Psalm 141, I call to you. I really believe there are a lot of people this morning, calling to God there are people in your life that are very instrumental, not because of their skillset, and because of them, but because God has placed them in your life for a season for a reason. So when it says I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me, hear me when I call to you, God has heard God has answered, God is with you, wherever you are at this moment. You know, God is calling you. The Word says, Come to me, all of you that are wearing heavy labor now will give you rest. Wherever you are today. Just lean into Christ. Keep calling. He's heard your hearts cry, you know, the church and certain areas of church and certain areas of religion. It's all about lip service. But but this is about the heart. This is about I cried to the Lord. You know, your lips can't cry out. Yeah. You cry from your innermost being it is it is a drawing from your innermost being called to the Lord the psalmist in the 141. I call to you, Lord, come quickly to me, hear me when I call, just keep calling. Just keep calling because God is answering your prayers. It may not look like that your prayers are being answered. It may not look like that God is even interested in you. He is interested in you before the foundations of the world. He created you before you was knitted together in your mother's womb. He knew you. He knows everything about you. He knows your trials. He knows your tests. He knows your joy. He knows your laughter He knows everything. The hairs on your head are numbered by him, you are a son and a daughter of the living God. Even if you are just thinking and contemplating, what is Christianity all about, even if you're on what they call that spiritual journey, I'm trying enlightenment. And looking at this, and trying this and dabbling in this really, God has already called you, you are already saved. And it's amazing what God does and how God allows and how God journeys with us, when our bodies suddenly realized that the Holy God of Israel is real, not because my buddy has decided to follow him. But because it was the time and the second of my journey that God revealed Himself where my earth suit suddenly realizes this God is real, not because my offset was strong enough to call him not because I wanted to be saved, but because he saved me, you are saved, you are redeemed, you are a child of the living God, you are blood washed, you are in your name is stamped in the lamp book of life, it's really interesting the power of free will. That is just mind blowing. But by the power of predestination, by the power of the calling, by the power of the knitting together by the power of His Word, you are saved, I'm just catching, capturing this, some of the saying that they're feeling very frightened of what's happening in the world. Don't be frightened, don't be frightened of what's happening in the world, hold on to Jesus, do not allow fear to grab you. Do not allow the fear of what governments are saying, Do not allow the fear of science do not allow the fear of what the world may be doing. Because it is only doing what the Bible tells us it will do in the timeline of where we sit. So if you are in fear this morning, call out to Jesus, we're going to be in prayer, we're going to be impressed. So fear, fear is not part of the plan. Fear is not part of your life, it is not your makeup. It is not your character, you are a daughter, and you are a son of the living God. God loves you. Do not let the fear of what we see this new variant, what businesses are in, in crisis, you know, all the stuff with the food with the stock and everything is going on across this nation. Who would ever thought that all of us would see what we're seeing at this moment, none of us. So all of us need to hold on to the Word of God, we have got to get ourselves into the Scripture. It says very clearly that faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of God. I've got to get the word of God in my innermost being, but we will tell you right now and we would, we would lift you up in prayer and we are going to lift you up in prayer. If anyone is fearful. At this moment, we are praying that God is going to deliver you from all your fears. Trust in the Lord. Do not lean on your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge him. Fear is not going to capture you fear is not going to take you out. But just just look up into the heavens above. Just close your eyes and just come before him this morning. Do not lean on your own understanding. He says in Psalms 37, verse one, do not fret, do not fret. Do not get anxious. Psalms 37 verse three, trust in the Lord, and do good. Dwell in his land and enjoy that safe pasture. First for a psalm 37. take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. First Five of Psalm 37. Commit your ways to the Lord, trust in Him and DO what He says are His will. Come on brothers and sisters, we are not going to let fear get out of us. We're not going to allow the news channels, we're not going to allow the drumbeat of COVID We're not going to allow all this worry about Universal Credit. We're not going to allow all what we're hearing to grab any of us because we are sons and daughters of the living guy. And I encourage you this morning to stay in Christ. Keep your eyes upon him. When when I say stay in, nothing can separate you from you are saved, you are sanctified, you are justified. You are watched you are a son or daughter of the living God. But when I say you can't come out, you're in you're already in. But what happens is the enemy and the atmosphere on the outside just plays havoc with our thinking and our understanding your heart your heart is for God. But your mind is like a washing machine at this moment. Do not allow. Do not allow that fear to grab you just just shout the name of Jesus call on the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Let's be bowed in prayer. Father, we come before you right now and we destroy all the work to the enemy in the name of Jesus. Father, the spiritual atmosphere that's out there Father, Lord, we thank You that greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world and Lord at the power of your word. At the power of the spoken at the power of the rhema word at the power of Have your word Your word is put to fly in the name of Jesus and this morning, Lord, we break that fear in the name of Jesus Father, we break that not because of us but because of you. Lord, we thank you Lord, that in perfect love, Lord, love. Perfect love, as the scripture says, casts out all fear. Father, in the name of Jesus, there is no fear in love, as the Gospel says, perfect love casts out fear you are the Perfecter You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords and anyone in fear today, Lord, we thank you that you are delivering them from all their fears, you are drawing them out of the pit, Father God, you are lifting them you are carrying them. In the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we thank You, Lord, for the satanic realm is broken at the name of Jesus, Father, because of the blood is over the sisters and the brothers, the blood of the Lamb, the living Christ the great I Am father, you are the great I AM. And Lord, we thank you right now that your glory is sitting on anyone that is worried. Your presence is with anyone that's anxious Your goodness is on them. Now Lord and Father You have called them, Lord, you have chosen them you have set them free by the power of your word, in the name of Jesus fear, we will not attach ourselves to fear. Lord, we will not attach ourselves to anxiety. Lord, you tell us Be anxious for nothing, Be anxious for nothing but in everything. Present your request to God. Yes, we present our request to you this morning. Psalm 141, verse one, I call to the Lord. Come quickly to me. So this is for you this morning. Psalm 141, I call to the Lord. Come quickly to me, hear me when I call to you, your hearts are calling and he is with you. Firstly, he says, I will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not allow your perception of the world do not allow your eyesight, your natural eyesight or your ears allow that fear to come in through those channels, through government speeches, through the herding mentality that we're in, do not allow the perception to grab you. You live by faith, you stand on the Word of God. And you say I am a child. I am redeemed. I am blood washed. I am a believer. And now Lord, Father, I thank You, Lord, that you've broken that yoke. Lord, that no weapon formed against me shall prosper in the name of Jesus. I am a child of the living God. I am a daughter, I am a son, you chose me. Lord, I did not decide to follow you. But Lord, you chose me and when you chose me, and when salvation was given to me as a gift, then my buddy realized that God is real. And then I said, I'm a disciple. I'm following Jesus. Come Holy Spirit, all those Lord that are walking in fear. Break the fear this morning. All those that are walking in trepidation, break the trepidation. All those father that feel that the satanic oppression is too much break it in the name of Jesus. Father, we thank you that the devil has no power over us. Because we belong to Jesus. We are slaves to righteousness. We have been bought with a price we are redeemed. And we are free this morning. Lord, we will not have fair on any of our brothers and sisters, we will not allow Lord them to be controlled by fear in the name of Jesus. Father, if you are the God of Israel, which you are, you are the Lion of Judah. And we want your father to brief over anyone today. That is captured by fear, Lord, we want to hear the light. We want to hear the Lion of Judah father, you are the God that put the stars in the heaven you are the great I AM. Father. Let's hear the roar in the UK Lord the UK Lord, humanity is tired in the UK. We're tired, Elias Father, we're tired father for the schemes of the world. And we need the Redeemer. Lord, we need Lord to be redeemed and set free completely from satanic oppression, Spirit of the Living God. If this is a time, Lord, this is the time now where we're calling to you, Lord, because of Lord. The fear Lord is not going to grab us. Lord, come, you are the great I AM. You created the heavens and the earth. And Father we will not allow. We will not allow law God this fear to grab us. We break it Lord and law when we say we we do this because of him. Lord, we do it because of your word. And if we do it, Lord, through prayer, through fasting for reading, as we do, you have already done so all we are doing Lord is being obedient to Your word because we know it's broken because of the power of the word. So when we say we Lord, we are not saying us we are superhuman, Lord, but we are we become because we are filled with the supernatural God. So Lord, it's not because of our flesh. Things are broken Lord, it's not because of our knowledge. It's not Because of academics, it's not because of Lord, the amount of money that's in the bank, Lord, it is not anything to do with this natural world. We break free because you have broken us free. So Lord, we are being bold this morning and saying, We are children of the living God. We are free, not because of the church, not because of religion, not because of pastors and leaders. We are free because of Jesus Christ. But also do believe in Psalm 37, verse seven. This is critical for many today. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. We're in coffee and prayer. Good morning. Good morning, Glen. Good morning, Andy. Good morning, everybody online, Donnie, we welcome everybody this morning. You got to hold on to the Word of God, you got to hold on hold the Word of God.

Andy Hammond: 15:57

Here's the word of God. Two Chronicles 20. We're talking about fear. And this verse from verse 15. And there are quite a few battles whenever in the Old Testament. Yeah, this is one of them. He said to King Jehoshaphat. And all who live in Judah. We've mentioned this morning, Andrews Jerusalem, this is what the Lord says to you. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because of this vast army for the battle is not yours, come on God's battle. That's so relevant in what we're talking about today. The battle is not yours, but God's say you got to hand it over. And it's interesting that when Judah went out to battle, they sent ahead of the Army, the worshipers, a man. And as they went out at the head of the army saying, Give thanks to the Lord. Yes, love endures forever. Give thanks. And as they began to sing and praise the Lord set ambushes against the men of Amazon and Moab. And they just won the battle. Yeah, because as they went out praising God, man, I think we forget sometimes. So even when times are difficult, and things are closing in on us, we forget to praise God. Yeah. And I just want to say thank you, Father, God, for that you've never leave us that you are always there. And we may be in a battle. But we just pray, Father, that you will give us inspiration and courage just to sit and reflect and worship here. Because you are God. And we, you never lead us. And that word in verse 15, do not be afraid or discouraged. Because of this vast army. We've made say such a huge enemy in front of us. It could be a vast army. But half the battle isn't yours. Yes, God's. So I pray this morning that we just hand it over to God and say, It's not my battle, Lord, make sure there's no thank you

Glenn Walsh: 18:30

to those who are led by the Spirit of the children of God. The Bible says we've heard about waiting. We've heard about being hemmed in. Being in Acts 27 is recorded when Paul who is led by the Spirit, he's on his way to Rome, he's under guard. He's talking to the professionals at the trains, the experts and he tells them don't sail. But the experts don't listen to him. The professionals don't listen to him. They sail and they're all on the boat, and everything goes wrong. And there they are literally facing death on the ship them in a storm, and they get to be shipped wrecked. And it's only then that they listen to the man of God who's already been listening to God. Amen. And what happens? Yep, they lose the ship. They've ordered in the sea. They want to kill all the prisoners, including Paul, but as they listen to Paul, amen. Paul 276 souls. Not one of them is lost on moon and they will find safety on Moto. So it's time to listen to the man of God. It's time to listen to the Word of God. Yes, law, not the professionals. Not the worldly wise. No. But the Holy Spirit felt that we do say we're sorry, when we listen to these other voices. Jesus, you said that My sheep know my voice. Yes, the Good Shepherd, they cannot listen to another. Lord, we forget, we ask for forgiveness when we fall into doubt when we fall into fear when we keep our eyes focused on the waves instead of you. But we thank You, Lord, that even though we sink, you're the one who reaches down. Yeah, you're the one who pulls us from the rural throws of death, bring and holds us in your arms and carries us to that place of safety.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 20:37

Thank you, Jesus.

Glenn Walsh: 20:38

But Lord, where is a safer place than in your arms? So we thank You, Lord, that you are with us always. We thank You, Lord, that there is nothing that can snatch us from your grip. Nothing. Thank you. We are safe and secure in year. A Lord, I pray that we do that when we've done all we can to stand that we'd stand firm. Thank you, Jesus, that our confidence is in you not inevitability but in the author and the Perfecter, the Trailblazer of our faith, amen. Thank you, Jesus.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 21:13

Amen. Thank you, Lord. Freedom. Lord, we're free this morning. Thank you, Jesus,

Donny Stockburn: 21:19

sitting in bed this morning. I was waiting, summing up why, for the last few weeks, I've been a fight of so many things. They seem not mountains, it was never going to go over and are not quite out at too low. The Lord said to you on find one min church, and sitting with my brothers and sisters, all those things are wonderful in the words of God, Lord, inspire me enough stories. They strengthened me, Lord. When I'm on my own, it's different. But fear comes Lord is a real test of your own challenge Lord and our cried out, said, Lord, if only I could be with you all the time lot of disciples were, if I could sit down near you all the time, if I could be with your presence all the time, I'd be over if only I could be with you, all the time, Lord. God said of me on that one, he took me to one of our favorite verses, and I'm just gonna read it to you in a minute. He says, I said, I said to have you near me always. It's choir cuts that have already sorted down and take you into a one Colossians chapter one. Thank you, Jesus, first 26 and 27. But I just wanted to tell you a little bit about Christ. First, he says, he's strengthen us, with all his mind, according to his glorious power, for all patience, and long suffering with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to be partakers in the inheritance of the saints in the light, He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and confine us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Lord, we've been transferred out of the darkness, and this word down the security all I remember saying to a young man, who'd been in lots and lots of trouble, was in in prison at the time. And I said, his name to him and I said, Listen, it's different now. You're not on your own anymore. You're not on your own anymore. No Christian, no blood was Christian is on their own anymore. And this is not imagination. You know, we don't have to imagine Jesus is with us. This word says he is an artist want to lead it to your Tao. And Paul, Paul speaks these words, is the ambassador, and he's been appointed to announce this mystery, this fulfillment of God's plan in our lives.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 23:53

Praise the Lord.

Donny Stockburn: 23:55

Paul says, have been chosen to announce it to you two sides, is says the mystery, which has been hidden for ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to his science that's us. To them God will to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles. That's us. And Jews, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory? Did you hear that? Christ in you? I'm not with him anymore. I don't have to search for him, is in me, is living in me, his powers in me? And you said, Lord, that You would deliver me from all my fears. And Lord, I'm not just talking about what's going on in this age. I'm talking about childhood fears, and stuff like that, trying to make a comeback into our lives. Come when we're feeling weak, but you said, Lord, this word here, that Christ is in me, wherever I am, in the darkness, in troubles wherever I am, Christ is with me. I've never apart from him. This is the Word of God, Florida that fortifies me. And wherever I am facing old fears and troubles, Lord, or now that Christ is with me, it's not my imagination. I don't have to conjure up thoughts. Christ is with me. That's the God's God's promise. And Lord, we just take it all on you that we are not on our own. And our imaginations can run away with noise and stuff like that. Cost is with us. Christ is in us. And we can never be separated. As clenches. read out the Bible, we can never be separated. Because Christ is in us a lovely answer to all our problems. God, it's made it so simple. Christ is in us, glory of God is living in us to power God is in us. And obituaries, thank you for that. Now, I just want to finish this, on a word that God gave me. I was sitting out in the freezing cold the other day. It's in Isaiah 43. First two and three. It says when you pass through the waters, I will be with you. As soon as the rivers they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned. So I thought, oh God, we just pray that your church us, Lord, will not be a fight to go through those wars. And we will not be fine to go through the fires. Because we know your Word says that you are with us, and that they will not overcome us. And they will not burn us alone. Thank you. We are not on our own anymore. Just love everyone. I'll pray that Lord that that will be downloaded into the spirit of everyone, your church, that we are not on our own anymore, and never will be in all eternity. And just thank you for that Lord in Jesus name. Amen.

Glenn Walsh: 27:01

Amen. The waters to the fires. X 27. So x 28 Paul goes through the waters. Yeah, I see waters. I see when they arrive on water their villages come out and set fires because it's freezing for me it's raining. Probably then helps build the fire as he throws the brush in there.

Yeah, yes, God did say, stand in His Word standing the truth. Psalm did that shook a snake off. The locals are waiting for him to swell up and die. Nothing happened. Nothing happened. Instead, Paul then heals. A man who's got dysentery walks into the room of a sick man. He didn't say sick, I'm going to walk give a wide berth. He goes and meets him prays for him, heals him and then all the ones that are sick on the island. Come and get healed. We've got the miracles we've got the Holy Spirit let's not settle crisis in let's not settle for just getting through the suit now or through the fight but let's press on and see the kingdom of God advance Yeah, as a father I do pray for all of us and those listening Lord Yes Father the poison of disillusionment the poison of Broken Dreams, the poison of except in hardship as our lot will not say but we will shake it off in the name of shake it off in Jesus name.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 32:00

Amen. Father, we just worship you. We just worship you Father, we rest in you, Lord, we praise you, we exalt you. You are worthy of all praise Spirit of the Living God. We just stand in your presence, Lord, we rest. In your stillness, we keep our eyes on Jesus, Hebrews 12, to Hebrews 12, to keep your eyes on Father, I pray, Lord, that we just focus just on Jesus just on the word just on the name. The Greatest Name in heaven on earth is that that name, every knee shall bow, Lord, we're not bowing the knee, Lord to any other movement. We're not bowing the knee to any other political agenda. We're not bowing the need to any idolatrous worship, we're not bowing the need their god to pastors and leaders, we're not bowing the knee to any human being Lord, we stand on the Word and we bow in the presence of holiness, holy, holy is the Lord. Every satanic oppression cannot stand the holiness of God. Satan cannot stand the glory of the Lord. He, he runs at the name of Jesus. I believe there are many out there like David this morning, like David this morning, confronting a Goliath, but run down to the arena. Because the battle belongs to the Lord, you just got to show up. You just got to show up. You just got to wipe your eyes this morning. Put your lipstick on, put your shoes on, put your trainers on, put your perfume on, put your put your coat on and get on. Just show up. Just live for Jesus. Just live for Jesus. You know, David ran, David ran down to the arena. He ran down to that place. Very clear, he ran into the presence of his enemy. And he went before him. And he said all of those that are gathered here today that it is not by sword. It is not by spear that the LORD Saves for the battle belongs to the Lord. And He will give you into our hands you are already out as Goliath You are you. Your heartbeat is numbered. You are going to fall today. Sickness you're going to fall before me today in the name of Jesus fear. You're going to run at the name of Jesus. anxious thoughts, you're gone and the name of Jesus. Because Mark got it for me and if Mark got it for me, who can be against me, for the battle belongs to the Lord. I love that part in the Old Testament where David David and had everything stripped back and even the ones that you went into battle with was wanting to stone him to beat him to take him out. And it says David inquired, David sought the Lord. And God spoke to him personally Your enemy, overtake them spiritually. Overtake them. You know, we were you're in front you're in front you are, you are not in second place you're in first place, not because of your strength because of Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The word is beating like a drum on your on your heart today the Word of God is within you just believe. Just believe Christ and shoreline said, Come on, follow me. Come on, just just be a follower. Just follow Jesus, just follow him. You're safe in the shadows of the Almighty, I will dwell in the house of the Lord. I will rest in Him. Now brothers and sisters, now it's a time. You know, we've heard this before for different generations. And I think it was too early. The Joshua generation, I think the pastors and the preachers were jumping ahead of God's timing. Now is a Joshua generation. Because what we face, they didn't even have a clue what was coming down the tracks of life. It takes everything you got to hold on to the Word of God, as God said to Joshua, NEVER LET THIS BOOK OF THE LORD depart from your mouth. But meditate on it day and night. So that you will be you are already in the posture of will be because God God has already done for it across the Calvary, because of the cross of Calvary, you are already victorious. Not because of your strength, not because of how great you think we are. Nothing to do with our human skillsets. Nothing to do with our philosophy. And I think our upbringing, nothing to do with our education, but because God is with you. God is with you. God is with you. And the battle belongs to the Lord. But you've just got to show up. You've just got to keep walking. Psalm 23, I'm on a walk for I'm walking through the valley. I'm on a walk through, I'm on a. I'm on a gentle walk with him. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Lord, you are preparing a table in a valley of hardship you are preparing law God, a table of rest God, God is bringing you to a place of rest. God is bringing you to a place you're in the hardest press of your life. And you will find there is a banquet table spiritually being prepared for you. With the blessings are so big and powerful. You will feel the power of the Holy Ghost like you've never felt before. Right? When you think that as as the as the Levitical priesthood, got to the brink of the Jordan when it all looks like I'm going to drown. You are not going to drown. You are not even going to float through. You are going to walk through. God is part in sees his part in the the enemy runs at that name. We got a smile this morning. Because he doesn't the enemy doesn't run at the name of Ben. He doesn't run at the name of Glenn or any of us. He doesn't run it any earthly names e os. But there's one name that he cannot stand up against. There is one nine that anxiety has to go there is one name, that fear cannot fight. There is one name. And the angel of the Lord came down to Mary and said you're going to carry and you're going to give birth to a child. Emmanuel, God with us. God is with you. God is with you. In you God is with you. You're at your desk right now. And God is with you. You're at home right now. And God is with us. You're even still in your PJs and God is with you. You're at work and God is with you. God is with you wherever you are. If you are a believer now let's not get on that drum skin and beating that about salvation. But you are saved not because of you but because of him. Everything is about him before him. He has created us for him. So he is in charge of you. He is in charge of me you are a slave to righteousness. You have been bought with a price you are owned. You do not own yourself your family do not own you. You are not owned by anyone. You are owned by the God of Israel. You have been purchased. Your name is He stamped in the Lamb's book of life. And it wasn't with the ink from a pen. It was from the blood of the Lamb. Yeah, who are we are, I'm just smiling as I'm saying this because there is revelation on knowledge. Donnie mentioned the mystery, the mystery, and it is a mystery fulfillment. It is a mystery, from Genesis to Revelation, because if it wasn't a mystery, it wouldn't be gone. If man or theologians think that we can work him out. We've got it so wrong. It is a mystery. So that's why it is revealed. It is revealed. God reveals Himself to me and to you, through the power of His Word, God will speak through a table, God will speak for your pen. You know, there are many, many people out there says if you don't get a King James, you're not saved. If you read from the NIV or DME. If you read from this, you read from that God will speak through anything. And anything, he is not limited. He won't speak for a tree. He spoke for a donkey. He spoke fro so many ways he is speaking through nature, he is speaking through, through everything. He uses everything, because he is that supernatural God. And let me just say this. He's your father. He is your father. You have a father. Those that feel father less. You have the greatest father that anyone could ever want. Our Father who wants in heaven, we're in we're coming to the table. We're at a place we're at a place, bring everything, bring everything to him this morning, bring everything to the foot of the cross. Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down this morning. You got baggage. And I said you have I have no baggage in the kingdom of God. Because of the cross the Calvary eliminated it, the blood evaporated. So let's just hand the rucksacks down this morning. Let's leave the the suitcases let's let's leave everything we've got that is troubling us at the foot across. We're coming to the table and is in Dinis in, blends in. I'm out.

Donny Stockburn: 42:32

Can I just say Ben, again, God's really driving this into me at the moment. It's not just a question of us having the biggest Bible in town or across around our necks or anything like that the reason the enemies are fired, is because Christ is in us a man. That was the fulfillment of God's plan. And the whole mystery of it. What was the what was the end product? What was God aiming for? How to put his son in us? Yes, Lord in us. And that's why we're never alone. That's how God can promise us eternal salvation. As our we know that the works gonna be finished because Christ is in us, living in us. So that word is you'll never be on your own. Again, never. No matter where you're facing, are scary is cos is with you. Because he's in your Amen. Lord, that's a comfort to me. Lord, you know that in advance that nothing would suffice us except to have your son with us eternally. And that means putting them in as artists. Thank you for that, Lord. Lord, thank you for that all word, sets me free Fire to God. And in Jesus name. Amen. Amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 43:48

Come on God. Hallelujah. Thank you. Yes.

Glenn Walsh: 43:52

And he's just giving me the, the eyes to go with it before we lead us into communion. It all things do cry out to the Creator. But it also says in Corinthians Do not go beyond what is written a man and I'm looking at Galatians where Paul writes Grace and peace to you from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our dads and father, to whom be glory forever, amen. Then he says, I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ, and a turning to a different gospel, which is really no gospel at all. Evidently, some people are throwing you into confusion and trying to pervert the gospel of Christ, amen. But even if we are an angel from heaven, should preach a gospel other than the one we preach to you. It says let them be under God's curse. Actually, Other translations say, let them be eternally condemned, as we have already said, so now I say again, If anybody is preaching to you a gospel, other than the one but you accepted the one that's in the Bible, the Gospel, if anyone is preaching another gospel, let them be under God's curse.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 45:16

Thank you, Jesus.

Glenn Walsh: 45:17

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I was still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Yeah, the gospel of God leads to repentance. Repentance leads to salvation. Hallelujah. It's all paid for through the blood of Christ, Laura no other way. There is no other way.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 45:40

Thank you, Jesus.

Andy Hammond: 45:45

I've just been looking at one of the Psalms and I think it really describes what's going on at the moment throughout the world. Psalm two says, Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? Yeah, the king of the the kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his anointed one. So let us break their chains they say and throw off their fitters. The one enthroned in heaven lofts the Lord scuffs up, and then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies him his wrath, saying, I have installed My King, on Zion, my holy hill, amen. And when you turn to the New Testament, in Psalm in Acts chapter four, it's quoted again there that that psalm at verse 25, and 26. And there is great boldness in those disciples who spoke then, and I think that's incumbent upon us. Each one of us to know what we believe in, and then speak boldly. And that now Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. But there's this promise, Stretch out your hand to heal, and all miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant, Jesus. And after they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shake for the man, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.

Donny Stockburn: 47:43

Amen. The Word

Andy Hammond: 47:44

of God boldly. That's true for us today, that we should speak the word of God boldly. And when we come and quote, scripture, that gives us the authority to speak His word. So Father, we thank you. And we ask you Holy Spirit to come and be with each one of us this morning. Those who are listening, and those who are listening later, because we know from our own knowledge of this, lots of people pick this up over around the world. And in fact, it rounds into dozens and dozens of people who listen to this. So we want to bring encouragement that the four of us sitting here today, but they even in your word, yeah. Even the authority of your bird, oh, yes, let you have come to live and each one of us that you have given us authority, and we want to speak boldly today, that there is no other name under the earth. Who can save and that's Jesus. So we asked you to come Holy Spirit, refresh us. Bring us your healing power to our bodies, to our minds, to our spirits, lift us up today. And as we take the brave in the wind this morning, we remember that supreme sacrifice that makes it all possible makes it all possible for each one of us. So we take the bread today, thank you in remembrance.

Donny Stockburn: 49:58

To follow Christ is dangerous in these days, always was. But in reality, it's the safest place to be. To be found in Christ is to be safe. Man is nowhere safer. Everything else is going to pass away. But in Christ, we are secured forever in His love. And Father God which is asked that question. Are you washed in the blood of Jesus? Because when you are, he is in you. He is for you. The God word and Jesus actually asked his father, that we will be wherever he could be, wherever he is, so that we would see his joy, so that we will see His glory. And he asked the father also that he would love us sitting around his table room and you listening as much as he loves his own salary sent save us. All these things, all these things we have access to and fulfillment of in our lives because of his blood, because Christ gave His life for us. We just thank you in Jesus name, Lord, amen.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 51:19

Amen. Amen. Thank you, Holy Spirit.

Donny Stockburn: 51:29

Can you Lord, Father, we

Reverend Ben Cooper: 51:30

thank you for divine favor. We thank you for grace that abounds. We thank you for the power of salvation, which is a gift. We thank you for the power of the living Word of God. I pray today for every heart that is listening. Father, it will be so powerfully with life with the Word of God. They will feel their heartbeat in Lord they will feel Lord like the two on the mayor's wrote, they walk with Jesus. But Jesus was kept Yes. Kept the recognizing not from the human beings but His presence, His presence. My dear hearts be. His presence makes your heartbeat. His presence is your heart. He created your heart fire. He's your breath. He is your DNA. He is your God. He is your King. He is the Creator of heaven on earth. And you can almost hear the cry of humanity quietly and secretly believing but too frightened to shout it because of the religious folk because of the naysayers because of political agendas. You can hear the groans as the scripture says, the groan of the Earth, the corruption across the earth. You can hear the groan and the twist as we're preparing for the return of the Messiah, or mainland. Thank you. Oh, you're coming back and coming back for your coming back for the bride. Thank you, Lord, that we do not belong to an organization. But we're in the real church of Jesus Christ. We thank You, Lord, that we do not belong to, to a dead organization. We belong to the living word, Lord, we do not belong to backstabbers. We do not belong to dogma. We do not belong to religious jargon. We belong to the King of glory. No wonder we've been feeling disjointed from religion for so long. Because you wasn't created for religion. You were created for greatness. Oh, goodness, for his good work and his goodwill and his good pleasure. He wasn't created to be stuck in a in an atmosphere that made you feel bad, you know, is bearing down on you from different pulpits and leaders making your film mucky, but God has set you free from religion. God is extracting many from different ways of of church life goes extracting because he's getting the work done. We're done. We landed and he's gonna close.

Andy Hammond: 54:37

Yeah, man. It's just so maybe small amount of just hearing the knocking going on for the builders in the building. And he just reminded me of that verse in Revelation three. Which says, you know, here, here I am. I stand at the door and knock if anyone hears My voice At opens the door, I will come in and eat with him. And he with me liberal and goes on to say to him who are who overcomes, I will get the right to sit with Me on My throne. Well don't often read that now versus with the first one. Sure. Wow, isn't that powerful

Reverend Ben Cooper: 55:22

this amazing? God's word.

Andy Hammond: 55:27

Yeah, he's gonna give us the privilege of sitting with him on the throne,

Reverend Ben Cooper: 55:34

so gone quiet as the enormity and the power of His Word. As we've been saying, it's revelation, God reveals that we might have read it 1000 times, but until he reveals that the impact of his revelation to us as humans, and you're gonna

Andy Hammond: 55:55

Yeah, I gotta say that. Scripture is always available. And I've got I'm holding a New Testament in my hand, which includes Psalms and Proverbs. If you want a copy. Just message us somewhere got a copy to you. Amen. With that verse from Revelation. I think I should pray, final prayer of commitment, play as soon as prayer, which we've all done sitting around this table. But there could be someone out there who's never said this prayer. And once you say this, you go into a relationship with the Creator of the world through Jesus, which is again, astonishing. So this prayer, if it means anything to you, say the man at the end and our men means so be it. Thank you, Lord. So I confess to God that I'm a sinner. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for my sins on the cross. Yes, I believe that God raised Him from the dead. Now repent of my sins, I always see him as my Savior. And ask that Holy Spirit come and live within our moon. I confess Jesus is looming in my life.

Reverend Ben Cooper: 57:26
