This is a cry from David for help before they go out. Psalms chapter 20, verse 1. Gotta say man. Amen. It says the Lord hear thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob defend thee. Send thee help from the sanctuary of Shrimp thee out of Zion. Remember all thy offerings and accept thy burnt sacrifice. Grant thee according to thy own heart and fulfill thy counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation and in the name of our God, we will set up our banners. The Lord fulfilled all thy petitions. Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointing. He will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving chariot of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses. But we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright. Save, Lord, let the King hear us when we call. Let's pray. Father, we thank you again for this opportunity we have to preach our word. God, we so thank you for truth and bread. And Father, I pray this morning that you remove all physical and spiritual distractions from the moment. I pray, God, that you open the ears and hearts and the minds of every morning by the time of Lord this morning. God, I pray that you place the Holy Spirit in the middle of all the services at anyone. And you have a savior, I pray to call upon you before it ever lasts too late. We ask this in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. The title this morning of my sermon is Victory Comes from the Lord. Victory comes from the Lord. I know everybody can tell this morning that as a human standpoint this morning, we are in a time of crisis. The world is burning down the world standpoint. We've got war going on all over the world. From a country standpoint, we've got a leader that can't get along, neighbors can't get along. From a home standpoint, we've got families that are struggling to get along. From a job standpoint, we can't work together or nothing. We've got we let grieve or judge overtaking us. From a church standpoint, we've got denominations thinking that they're better than each other. And many churches this morning is teaching and preaching the false doctrine. From a Christian standpoint, we're getting tempted, trialed, and persecuted every day. So all the way you look at it this morning, we are in a time of crisis. Everybody's in need of help this morning, some way, form, or fashion. We need help this morning. But God makes it clear this morning. God makes it simple. All we have to do this morning is read God's word and trust God's word. And everything that's going on has already been talked about, and then somebody's been through it. So it tells us this morning that we are very smart, and every day goes by, we become more and more smarter each day. But there's a battle that we can never win this morning, and uh that battle, if we don't trust God, we'll never defeat Satan. Uh God has already defeated Satan, but far as our standpoint, as long as we're in this human flesh, the devil's gonna tempt you, the devil's gonna try you, the devil's gonna persecute you, the devil's gonna do everything he can to win you away from God. Because the fight just begins when you accept Christ. You think about it this morning. While you're living in a sinner's life, while you're living away from God, when you're living not born again, the devil already has you on his side, so he's gonna let you do it and give you everything he wants to keep you on the route you're going. But on the other hand, as a child of God, the devil's gonna do everything he can to win you back over. That's his job, the Bible says that he's a roaring line seeking those whom he may devour. So just because you're born again this morning, that doesn't mean that Satan's not after you, because Satan is after you more now than he's ever been. So this morning we've got to understand that as long as you put one foot in front of the other and live for God, the devil's still gonna try you, the devil's gonna tempt you. Does that mean you're not saved? Absolutely not. Because I've been saved now for 15 years, going on 16 years, and I know every day is a spiritual warfare. We've got a daily battle that Satan tries us. Somehow, somehow, Satan is gonna tempt you to turn away from God. So we're all living, as we're living in this human flesh, we've got to understand we have no power over Satan. If we try to beat Satan on our own, that's when we fail. But the moment we remind Satan about God, Satan flees like the light does of the darkness flees when you come on light. Satan will flee. As long as you mention Jesus, live for God. So it tells us this morning that in our text, King David and his army was preparing to go to war. So they had a symbol to have a pre-prayer service. So there was a symbol to have a prayer service before they went into battle. This morning, every day of our lives before our feet hit the ground, we should be praying because we unbattled. We should be praying this prayer of Psalms 20. God, I know you'll answer me. God, I know you'll give me the strength. I know you that everything we do, the victory comes through God. Every day we should be praying because we get ready for battle. The devil will attack us while we're asleep.

SPEAKER_00 5:14

Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

The devil will attack you while you're walking, you're working, you're talking, you're reading your Bible. The devil ain't talking, uh, try to tempt you while you're reading your Bible. I've been tempted by the devil when reading my Bible. That I read certain things in the Bible, the devil will tell you there's no way that's true. There's no way you can believe that. That's what Satan does. Even while you're reading God's word, he'll still try to tempt you. But the Bible also tells us morning that David was getting ready. Mental wise, he knew that he could win the war. He knew that he could win the battle. Mentally, he had more horses, he had more chariots, he had more military than what they were about to go against. So he knew he could win the war. But it wasn't mentally that David was worried about. David was worried about spiritually. This morning, we can do all things that we want to do. We can get out, we can get a good job, we can save money, we can buy this, we can do that. We can defeat worldly things, but spiritually wise, you can't defeat Satan spiritually because you're not strong enough. So it tells us morning that it was a war that had been won, but we battle it every day. You think about it when Jesus paid the cross, when he paid the price on the cross, he said to over 2,000 years ago that it was finished. That means the battle had been won. That means Satan did not have power over God. God had power over Satan. Now you think about it this morning. Satan has been around since the beginning of time. Satan was in heaven, he was an angel of God. But he tried to become more powerful than what God gave him. God gave him everything he wanted, except for power over him. So the devil got mad and God keeped him out of heaven. So now he's rolling around, still up under God, but over us. The devil can win you this morning. If you don't stay prayed up and worship up, the devil win you this morning. But it tells us morning that let's look at our text. The king and the army is getting prepared to go for a battle. Number one, it says, God will answer you. David prays as a child of God. We must understand that Isaiah 41.10 tells us that God is with us. No matter how weak we are, God is going to be with us. No matter we have all these things going on, the Bible says, fear thou not. That means don't be afraid of what the world's going to do. You see, every morning I'm afraid of what the world's going to do to the people that don't know God because they don't know what's going to hit them. But as a child of God this morning, I know that I'm not afraid of anything because I know God has me. God does, I've told you many times before, God doesn't do have to do anything. When God saved you, God saved you perfect. God saved you to his will. He didn't have for he saved you. So I know as a child of God this morning that when I'm getting prepared for battle, that God don't have or defeat anybody, God will defeat them all the way. But we've got to trust God. So David told him they must understand that as long as I have God, I must not fear what goes on around me. Many of us this morning is living in fear. We wake up every day, first thing we do is check social media, see what's going on crazy in this world. But we've got it twisted, we've got it wrong. Instead of waking up grabbing social media, worrying about what's going on in the world, wake up and read God's word, then you see what's going on, what's going to happen. Because if you are a child of God this morning, you know the Bible speaks of wars and rumors of war. It's going to be from the beginning of time to the end of time. The Bible says that the first time God destroyed the earth by flood and by water. The second time to be by fire. So what does that tell you? We've got wars going on all the way around us. But if you read the Bible, I'm not afraid of anything because I know God spoke about it. All I'm praying for this morning is for God's will to be done. If God's will is for the world to end right now, then so be it. Let it go. But the Bible tells us morning that David was telling his people that trust God. Pray to God, God will hear you. If you are a child of God this morning, God hears your cries. If you are a child of God this morning, God hears your prayers. If you are a child of God this morning, God knows what you need to make it. But you tell God God already knows. But the Bible tells us morning that we've got to understand God is with us. Think about what the Bible tells us in Psalms 139 and 8, it says, if I go to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, you are there. So it tells us God is present everywhere. God is present in heaven. God can make a trip to hell if you want to make a trip to hell. There ain't no place this morning God can't get into. It don't matter if the business has been shut down for years, your family has been shut down for years, your job has been shut down for years, God can still get through that door. This morning you can have a hard heart that's shut up to God and God can still get through to you this morning if you obey the Spirit. But the Bible says this morning, if I make my bed in hell, God is there. Think about it. If you're living for the devil this morning, you got a bed made in hell. So that tells us this morning, God can visit you and save you this morning. I had a bed made in hell before I got saved. God came down to hell and pulled me out of it. Because if you're living without God this morning, you are living in hell. All the things we go through is hell this morning if you're living without God. Think about it this morning. As a Christian, we go through sufferings. As a Christian, we go through trials and tribulations. But think about going through these things without God. Think about when you lose a love on this morning. If you live without God, the thought and the fear you have, this person that's not living for God or hasn't confessed to be a Christian, they're dead and gone, you have a doubt in your mind that they made it. You know, as a Christian this morning, I can't preach a funeral if I don't know that this man or this woman told me they hadn't been born again. I can't stand on a pulpit and say that they're in a better place. Amen. That's not going to happen with me. So if you have somebody die in your family and you don't know if they're saved or not, you better not call Brother Jesse. Well, I can't preach your head. Brother Jesse can't preach nobody to heaven this morning. What you do from the time you're born to the time you die determines where you go. Not what the preacher said, not what the preacher does, but it's all on you this morning. So David was telling him that even though we live in hell, or even though we may be in hell, God can save you this morning by the right hand, God can pull you up. How many times have you heard Brother Jesse say that God has an arm this morning that can reach hell? That's true this morning. God has an ear this morning that can hear the smallest cry, the smallest whisper in the world. God can hear it this morning. God can do anything but fail. God can save the worst person in the world this morning if they call on Jesus. All they got to do is put their trust in him. So it tells us God will answer you. It says God will go, God will protect, God will send help. God will remember what you gave him. Now, this is what we get into the scripture that I love the most. God remembers what we gave him. So when you got saved, you couldn't give God just some of it. When you got saved, you had to give God all of it. All of it. Whenever you got saved, you said, God, here's my feet, here's my brains, here's my soul, save everything about me. You can't come before God and say, God, just bless me with finances. Just bless me with this little trial that I'm going through. When you come before God, that means you give God everything you have. When you set out to God, you made the right decision. So it tells us this morning that we've got to understand, you've got to remember what have you offered God? Have you offered God the full amount of everything you have to offer? God wants it all this morning. Malachi in the book of Malachi chapter 3 tells us and asks us, will a man rob God? Now we preach that. We preach that and we get it a little bit out of context. God is talking about money, but most of all, he's talking about your time. Amen. Will you rob God this morning? You see, because God's church is going to stand. But the Bible asks us, will a man rob God? Because it asks us, when we don't give it all to God, you are stealing or robbing from God because God already knows what you got. You think about Amani says the farm, they sold the land and held back some from God. God didn't want it all. He just wanted you to admit you had it all. You see, God may have told them, I don't want all of it, just give me some of them. But they hid back, they held back from God and hid the full amount. So whenever one came in, they didn't give all, struck down dead. The other came in, didn't give it all, lied to God, struck down dead. You see, when we play with God, we are playing with God striking us down dead. I don't care if you're my son, my daughter, or whoever it may be, if you play with God, you're taking a chance of God striking you down dead. God has no respect for persons. Just because you go to Lambert Road doesn't mean God's gonna have pity for you. Just because you may be the preacher's son, God's not gonna have pity for you. Maybe you the preacher's wife, God's not gonna have pity for you. God this morning says that He has no respect for persons. Everybody is a same in God's eyes. Everybody's gonna be judged the same. So it tells us this morning that when we rob God, we lie to God. Many times we rely to God because we don't want God to know the truth. But God already knows it. The Israelites hid in the wilderness. All they had to do was obey God. But they disobeyed God, they held back from God and didn't have faith in God. So God held them for 40 years in the wilderness without me. All because of disobeying. Maybe you're going through that trial in your life this morning where you've been for 20 years, you've been struggling with God, you've been struggling here, you've been struggling there. Maybe you still hold that from God. Because God sees this morning that if you are robbing God or stealing from God, God is not going to bless those who lie to him. So in order to be blessed this morning, you've got to obey God. So it tells this morning that Adam and Eve, they doubt they disobeyed God. God told them not to eat from any fruit from the tree or not, don't eat none of that. But they disobeyed God, they held back obeying God, so now man is church from sin. You see what I'm talking about? When we disobey God, God punishes us. Adam and Eve disobeyed God, so it cost it mankind. Now that when we're born born into sin, we have to have a savior to save us to sin. That's what happens when we disobey God. So you think about it this morning. You can rob God by your time, by your worship, and faith this morning. Not just by money, but if you rob God with his time, you'll realize that you're robbing God. If I don't pray like I'm supposed to, you're robbing God. If you don't read God's word like you're supposed to, you're robbing God. If you don't worship God like you're supposed to, you're robbing God. Will a man robbed God this morning? We have so many people in this world forget what God gave them. God didn't give you just some of these things. God gave you all these things. All these blessings we have, God has given you this morning. Are you doing your part by returning them back to God? You know, I told you many times before, we've been through it. I mean, my wife, my family, we've been through it. I'm not going to tell you it's been a cake walk, it had been. But until we really, really fully surrendered to God and sold out to God, that's whenever we started trusting God, that's when God started opening doors for us. Amen. We talked about it. We talked about if we do this, we do that, but we wasn't really doing what we were supposed to do, living like we're supposed to live. But until we made it up in our mind that in order to be blessed by God, you've got to obey God, then God will bless you. Once you start selling out to God, once you give God everything, the first fruit of the house is God. Every time you get something, you're supposed to back to God. You owe a portion of it back to God. Amen. Your time is number one. You think about it. God gives us so many seconds, so many minutes, so many hours of a day, in a week, in a month, and a year. We go to work, we struggle, we'll work, we'll sign up to work 16 to 20 hours a day just to make it happen. But on Sunday mornings, you can't get beat out of the bed to get to God's house for one hour. God gave you all this time and you struggle to get to God's house for one hour. Just to give God praise, not even a full hour. We have announcements and birthdays for 30 minutes. We have 30 minutes of preaching, and we can't get people to come because they're robbing God. They're setting God out because they don't want to give God everything. They scared if they give God all, God ain't returned. But it's the other way around. If you give God everything to God, God give it back to you. And so this morning, you got to trust God. When you trust God, you receive more blessings. So it tells us, where can I go but to the Lord? Seeking refuge for my soul. When you seek God this morning, you realize there's only one way to go this morning and it's to God. The only way that you can get help this morning is by God. Secondly, it tells us that victory comes from God. Christians must know this victory is coming to those who are saved. Whether you're an addict, you can defeat it. Whether you're drunk, you can defeat it. Whether you're a liar, whether you're a thief, you can defeat it. Whether you have a problem with gospel, you can defeat it. Whether you have a problem with robbing God, you can defeat those things if you sell out to God, because God says victory for those who are saved this morning. As a Christian this morning, I know that I can defeat any problem that Satan gives me because God says victory comes me. But this morning we got people seeking other places for victory. We'll spend millions and millions of dollars a year, billions as a nation, trying to get better medicine, trying to get better things to make us live longer. My friend, the only thing that can make you live longer this morning is free. This salvation. If you want to live forever this morning, call on Jesus. That's the only way you will live forever this morning. I don't care how many doctors you see, don't care how many treatments you take, don't care how many prescriptions you feel. The only thing can help you live forever this morning is Jesus Christ through salvation. So we've got our eyes on the wrong prize this morning. We sickened man-made things to make it. But my friend, the Bible says that this world's not going to stand forever. The Bible says that everything born is going to die. Everything that has been planted is going to get plucked. So one day you're going to get to meet your maker one day. What a day that'll be. But it tells us this morning that we've got to put our faith in Almighty God. David told them, even now with the United States, all you hear about is the United States has got the best military in the world. Got the most money, one of the richest countries in the world. But if we put our faith in this military, we're going to die. David is trying to teach them you might have the best military. But without God fighting with you, you can't win this morning. It may be the same way with you and your household this morning. Everything may be perfect for you this morning. But if you keep going long enough, you're going to realize you need God to help you this morning. You're going to realize that God is the only one that can help you get through that battle. God is the only one that can help you get through this sickness you're going through. God is the only one that can help you get through this death that you're facing this morning. When you have God, you have it all. The equation is Jesus plus nothing. You don't need anything else but Jesus this morning. That's the only left is Jesus. So at Tell this morning, we ask ourselves, where is our trust at this morning? Even though you are a Christian, you must still trust God completely. Now think about it. Many people is confessed to be a Christian. They don't live for God, not no way, form, or fashion, but they call themselves a Christian. The Bible says this morning, in order to be saved, you've got to walk with God. Think about what you did yesterday. Did you walk with God? Think about what you did last Monday evening. Did you walk with God? Think about what you did last night at midnight. Did you walk with God? So if you're ashamed to take God where you were at last night, you're not a Christian. This morning, you've got to understand where you go, if you are a Christian, where I go, I want God in the presence with me. I'm not ashamed to take God nowhere because I need God everywhere I go. This day and time, people is crazy. People trying to abduct children, people killing this, doing that. People is crazy. But as a Christian this morning, the Bible says in Ephesians, you've got to put on the whole body armor of God. You can't just go outside with just a face show on. You've got to have one of breastplate, you've got to have one of shin goes, then it's still cold. You've got to have it all on this morning in order to meet Satan. So it tells us this morning, all my hope is in Jesus. Nothing else. Do you have your hope in Jesus this morning? It says in verse 8, they are brought down and fallen, but we are risen and stand up. Conflict, conflicts of life has no chance against the God that we serve. You see, we got a problem this morning. We tell God about how big our problem is, instead of telling the problem how big our God is. We find some things that we go through in life and we try to tell God that this problem, this storm is too bad, this walk is too hard. But instead of telling God, let's tell our problems that this storm ain't bad enough for God. I've seen God already. We've read what God brought Peter walking across the water. I've seen what God has done for the deaf ears. I've read what God has done for the blind eyes. I've read what God did for Lazarus in the grave. I've read these things and I believe in God, so there ain't no storm this morning too big for God. Everything that we go through this morning, God can beat it. But all we got to do is trust God this morning. So we ask ourselves the greater our focus on God, is the greater. Greater our confidence in God. So this morning, if you want to have confidence in God, you've got to put your focus on God. You can't just say, I trust God and I don't believe in God. You can't say that I believe in God without trusting God. You've got to trust God this morning. You've got to put your full confidence in God. The Bible says that when you face a wilderness, you can't see through the trees. It may be so thick you can't see through it. But we serve a God this morning that will take axe and plow us or cut us a row through it. All you got to do is trust God this morning. Do you have your full confidence in God this morning? Now you think about it this morning. Think about what all God had done. Think about it. God created a world that was very, very good. When he created and got done, he said the world is very good. Everything in the world was good. So then he created Adam. Then he created, he created Adam and Eve, created all these things. The world was still good, but sin came in because Adam and Eve disobeyed God. The world is still standing today. The world is still beautiful as it was when God created it. We still have beautiful rivers, beautiful mountains, beautiful valleys, all these things God created is still beautiful. The only thing changed now is man has become evil because they let the ruler of this world rule them. The ruler of this world is Satan. So the world hadn't changed, the people has changed. But you think about what God has done. God created the heaven and the earth, created everything we see, everything that we touch, everything that we smell, feel, everything about this life and this world, God created. God made Adam and Eve out of nothing. Think about it. God turned all these people that didn't believe into followers. God took a person like you this morning that may be living in hell and put your feet on established going.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 23:51

God made this morning, it made it possible so that you can make it to heaven. God didn't have to do it. God was already in heaven. God created heaven. But God created, sent his only begotten Son so that he can stand in the gap for you. You know, I tell people all the time that us men folks and women folks, we don't stand in the gap enough for our families. They need prayer. This generation needs prayer. The moment seemed like when I forget to pray for our children and our youth, we find out they do something they're not supposed to do. I feel like at times myself, I don't stand in the gap enough like I should. I start praying selfish prayer, not worrying about myself. But the Bible says this morning, we've got to be the one that stands in the gap. Because they need prayer. Somebody stood in the gap for you this morning. Somebody stood in the gap for your family this morning. Are you standing in the gap, returning the favor and praying for them this morning? Because they need prayer. They need prayer in this world. It tells this morning that the greater I focus on God, the more Satan backs away. So you think about it. If I keep living for God, keep reminding Satan that he's behind me, he's been defeated. The better and better I grow, the more and more I grow closer to God. This morning, in order to grow closer to God, you've got to give God your heart. God doesn't care how we look on the outward appearance. God cares about the inward appearance. You can come before God this morning broken, beaten, whatever it may be. You come before God this morning with a humble heart and talk like things, God will save you this morning. But it tells us we've got to surrender to Him. In closing this morning, are you calling on the right God? We have nine billion people in the world this morning. Think about how many calls on the wrong God this morning. There's only one God. There's only one true living God, and that is God Almighty. But we have many people turning to these other places, calling on other gods that can't do anything for them. The God that they call on is not a living God. The God that we call on is a living God and a risen God. That God that we serve this morning ain't the same one that's buried in a tomb. This ain't the same one that we make a statue of. This God that we call on this morning is a true living God that is living amongst us every day this morning. But it tells us we've got to understand, many this morning have their trust in jobs. How many of us trust our jobs so much this morning? We expect them to provide, to give us money, to give us hours, to keep us a job. Many people have got their trust in a job. Many people's got their trust in stock markets this morning. Many people invest and invest and try to work in retirement. Sometimes they don't even make it to retirement. Sometimes they get retired, they lose more money than they put in. Many people have got their trust in their families this morning. Many people trust their wife, their husbands, and children, only to be let down. Many people trust their churches this morning, only to be let down. But this morning we ask ourselves, where is our trust at this morning? Is it in God? Many trust this morning, deathbed repentance. Many trust this morning the longevity of life that God promises pre-store plus ten. God said in the old testament, He's going to give me 70 years, and I'm waiting, I'm getting 69 to get saved. That's what many people got their trust in this morning. But the Bible says we can't put our trust in deathbed repentance because you can't just pick and choose when you get saved. You've got to be drawn by the Spirit. We can do all the shows, we can do all the things we want to do. But in order for you to get saved this morning, you've got to be drawn by the Spirit. You've got to be drawn, and the Spirit tells you when you need a savior. I knew for myself that years and years I fought against the Spirit. But thank God this morning that He spared me just one more Sunday to get saved. Many of us this morning, sitting out in the congregation, made a deal with God last Sunday. Give me one more Sunday. Give me one more Sunday. Give me one more month. Maybe this is your last Sunday that God's going to give you to get right. Because you can't pick and choose. The Bible says the Holy Spirit won't strive a man always. There's going to be a point in time that the Holy Spirit, you won't have that feeling of what the Holy Spirit's giving you. You won't have that feeling this morning of what God's word means to you. You won't have that feeling this morning of what God has done for you. One day that Spirit's going to be gone. That feeling's going to be gone. But you've got to understand this morning, you must put your trust in God. The King of kings and the Lord of Lords, God Almighty, is who we must trust this morning. Nothing else but God. So this morning we've got to understand that none of this can get us to heaven. None of this can make you pleasing to God. Have you sold out to God this morning? We all make mistakes. I make mistakes daily. But I ask God to forgive me and help me. This morning you've got to ask yourselves, have you fully sold out to God? Have you surrendered to God? I don't care what no man or no woman thinks this morning. I'm going to make sure I surrender to God. I don't care what you think, I don't care what she thinks. If I'm not sold out to God this morning, I'm going to push the chair out of my way to get to this pulpit and ask God to forgive me. Ask God to save me. This morning, we've got to make sure we have sold out to God. Nothing you can profit this morning from this world that can save you. Only Jesus Christ. So it tells us Jesus saved. Do you want victory today? Jesus says heaven rejoices over one sinner. So you may be that lost. You may be 99 out of 100, maybe lost. You may be the only one to get this message today. Do you feel what the Holy Spirit is telling you this morning? Time is winding down. Many people in this world, many people in this community didn't wake up this morning. Many people across the world getting bombed overnight and doubled overhill. Who knows what's going to happen in the morning? But the Bible says that you can be prepared to meet the Lord God. Are you prepared this morning? Have you shown out to God? God makes no mistake. You give God your heart, He'll make the change this morning. You just make that choice. You make that choice to follow God, God will make the change in your life.

Father, we thank you again for the scripture. I pray, God, that we realize as Christians, that every day we have a battle, a spiritual battle that we're going through. A battle that's already been won on your part. But God, as long as we live in this human flesh, we realize that the devil temps us, he persuades us, he tries to pressure us. And God, I just pray this morning that as a Christian, we realize that we've got to be sold out to you this morning. I pray, God, for everybody in the house of God this morning, everybody watching by camera, that they realize this morning that they must surrender to you this morning, fully surrender. Not halfway, but all the way this morning. God, if they give you their heart, that you'll do everything else to get them in mind and do the right things. God, I pray this morning that we trust you. I pray this morning that we understand victory is only through God this morning. There's victory through Jesus. God, I pray this morning for that one soul that needs a savior. I pray this morning for that backslider. I pray that morning this morning for the sinners that don't know you. I pray that they realize this morning that Jesus plus nothing. All they got to do is call upon you. We thank you. We love you. We ask this in Jesus' name. We pray. Amen.
