SPEAKER_00 0:00

And to proclaim his life, his love, his liberty, his salvation to his children and to all who may be seeking him. Heavenly Father, thank you for this beautiful day that you've given us here in Texas. Thank you for the opportunity to come together and to be used of you to minister your word. I ask that you use me today. Let it only be you, holy God, you Jesus, speaking through me. Thank you that you have filled me up to overflowing. Now, thank you for the manner from heaven, that I can spread the seed of the word of God into good ground into the soil of the hearts of the listeners, that it may take root and bear fruit in their lives. In Jesus' name, amen. Matthew chapter 8. And you recall one of the two people that Jesus said had great faith. One was a Roman centurion who understood authority. Because he had men under him. And when Jesus said that he would come to his house to heal his servant, he said, You don't even need to come. Just say the word and it'll be done. And Jesus was really blessed by that. And he told him, Go your way. As you have believed, so let it be done for you. As you have believed, let it be done. It will be done. It is done. His servant was healed from that very same hour, if you recall. It's important what we believe. So we see that, and it says, as you have believed, let it be done. That's God's will. Jesus was the perfect representation of the Father. Only did what he saw his father do. So we know that's the will of God. So what do we believe? That's how we have to ask ourselves sometimes. Better, who do we believe we are? You know, we we believe for the forgiveness of our sins. We receive Jesus Christ just by faith. That's our eternal destination. That's all for all time. And it seems easy enough to believe for that. Once we have heard the gospel and we have it came alive in our hearts and we received Jesus, so we can believe we're saved or lost. Easy enough. But do we believe we're sick or healed? Because with that salvation, not only comes eternal life and deliverance from spiritual death, but also physical healing for our bodies, provision for this life, deliverance from every aspect of the curse. So do we believe we're sick or healed? Do we believe we're blessed or cursed? Do we believe we're delivered or are we still oppressed of the devil? In this culture, and probably for all time, to be truthful, do we believe we're a victim or victor? If you belong to Jesus, and we and we do, some listening may not, and and that's okay. We can fix that easily today. Just believe and receive. But if you belong to Jesus and you still struggle with the answers to these things in your heart, then we just need to really get to know Jesus. Really know him. That's the meaning of eternal life. That's the definition he gave us: to know God the Father and Jesus Christ, whom he sent. To know him is to know his word, because Jesus is the word made flesh. And to know and believe, like we were just talking about, saved, healed, delivered, blessed, prosperous, we have to know his promises, because the provision is in the promises. Amen. We need to understand all the divine exchanges of the cross. He took all of our bad, we got all his good. That was the plan of God. And Jesus fulfilled his mission, didn't he? So Jesus fulfilled that mission and we're blessed and we're redeemed and we are children of the Most High God. Because when we find out and believe who Jesus really is and that he is good and good for us, like we always say, and all the promises of God are ours. They're yes and amen in Christ. And you're blessed and healed and delivered and redeemed and accepted and loved and empowered and children of God, it'll change everything. Because you could have money in a bank account that you don't know about, and it would never benefit you. But when you find out and believe, then you can start to receive. You already have it in your born-again spirit, but it began to manifest into the natural. When you start believing and seeing things the way God does, and saying things that God has said about you, and speaking to your mountains, they will move. Proverbs 23, 23, 7 though, says, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. So what we think matters, doesn't it? What we think of ourselves, what we think of God. I know people that have been going and serving God and in church their whole life, but what they think of God is still very negative. They think that he's always got a watchful eye on them, so in a sense, he'll never leave them, but they're not so sure about the forsakeness, forsaking part. They think he's prepared to judge them anytime they step out of line and to punish them. And that's not true. Our life will go the predominant way of our thinking. But if we have Jesus, we need to believe for everything good. Because every good and perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, in whom there's no variation or shadow of turning. He's not going to change his mind. And he delights in the prosperity of his children, doesn't he? Amen. You know what I'm finding out more and more? And as I reflect on my walk with the Lord and the things that have brought peace and joy and excitement in God, and then the things that have sort of pulled me down and dragged me down. I've been reflecting on some of those things. But it's amazing what happens when we stop telling God's people what they have to do and start telling them who they already are in Christ. Anybody have any needs in their life today? Even if you're watching or hearing in the future, you could raise your hand. Well, I want you to get your hopes up. I want you to get your hopes up because you need to expect to receive today. You don't have to say any Hail Marys. You don't have to do any penance. Just believe and receive. God loves you and He wants more for us than we usually are ready to receive. So let's just take the barriers down and let Him have His way. Trusting that His way is good and good for us. And that's all that He wants for us. Galatians 5 starts off by saying that for freedom Christ has set us free. For freedom Christ has set us free. And the slavery or bondage that he's referring to in this scripture, this passage of Scripture is the religious calisthenics, the list of do's and don'ts, the self-effort to try and gain acceptance from God. You see, those legalistic do's and don'ts, they have an appearance of godliness, Paul says, right? But they have no power to restrain the sinful thoughts and desires of men or of people. Amen. But Jesus does, doesn't he? Jesus does. Because with Jesus, we get grace and truth. Grace and truth. And I don't think there's any mistake in the order. There's no mistakes in God's word, you see. Maybe some of the translations there are. Maybe the devil helped write some of the translations. That's just an old joke. But you get grace and truth with Jesus. The law came through Moses. Grace and truth came with Jesus Christ. He fulfilled the law, setting it aside, nailing it to the cross. The list of accusations that the enemy used to hold up to you and say, you know who you are and what you did. Jesus nailed it to the cross. And Jesus triumphed over the devil, putting a pu making a public spectacle of him. He fulfilled the law so now we could live under grace. Two very different ways of life. Under the law or a legalistic approach to God, trying to earn your salvation or be good enough. People serve. People still give. People do good works because they feel like they have to in order to be accepted. But under grace, we do those things because we're overwhelmed by the love of God and what he's already done for us. Such a huge difference. That's being under grace. When we try to be good enough for God, we diminish what Jesus has accomplished for us. That's why we don't want to go there. You can't carry that load anyway. It was a burden that was never meant for people to accomplish. They actually asked for it. And he said, okay, and for 1500 years they got to try it out and nobody could do it. When we try to live that way, not only are we detracting from what Jesus accomplished, but that's the very definition of falling from grace. People always say when someone sins, they fall from grace. No. When you try to earn your salvation, you fall from grace. That's what Paul pointed out in Galatians. I saw a testimony of a young man not long ago, and I shared something with you guys recently, I think, about it. It was, remember the big bowl in heaven that he saw when he was standing next to Jesus and it was filled with the prayers of all the everyone on earth, and then Jesus breathed on them, and then they went straight to the throne of God, and they became Jesus' own prayers, so that was so beautiful. But that same fellow, he part of his testimony was that he was young and he had, you know, he was a Christian, but he worked very hard at it. He worked more toward the world, and he was caught up in doing some things, and he started just spelling out his sins for Jesus and just feeling, telling how Jesus how unworthy he was because that's how he felt at the time. And Jesus was very stern with him, and he just showed him his hands, and the light beamed through the holes in his hands. He says, Why are you so concerned with that? It's already been paid for. And he sent him back to earth to proclaim the gospel. Not only that, but also for the need for people to surrender or yield to God. You say, Well, that seems like the law. No, it's grace and truth. But the grace came first. You see, the grace makes the yielding easy. Tavana has a sign in our dining room that I love. It says grace isn't a prayer that you say before a meal, it's a way to live. It's his unearned, unmerited favor and blessings, that's grace, that teach and empower us to live the grace life. Grace is a teacher, it says in Titus 2.12. So because of the grace he's extended to us, we purpose to grow stronger in grace. We're supposed to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. So that we can extend grace. That's the thing. It's not supposed to stop with us. Grace, it's just a gift that just desires to be perpetually paid forward. Right? When I was with Jesus there in that dream, and he was standing at the right side of me in that courtroom, and I knew I was so guilty, but I was free. No one to accuse me, no one to convict me, no witnesses against me, no one would even show up because Jesus was my advocate. And because of that grace, I was so overwhelmed. And then the next dream that I have, he's answering the question in my calling that I was arguing with him about. And we're leaving, and I'm, and I look over my left shoulder, and there's that group of people that are longing, like looking like, what about us? And I turn to him to ask him, What you know? And he never looked. He just kept looking forward. And so it answered the question: what I had to do, what I needed to do, what I wanted to do, because of what I experienced in the courtroom, I was compelled to share that with them. I wanted them all to be with us in heaven. That was my desire when I turned to him. I was like, tell him, bring him, come tell him. And he's left that to me. Well, there was no choice to be made then. I'm compelled. I I just I'm overwhelmed. I have to do it. You know, there's a saying, when you when you're gonna be a preacher, people say, if you can do anything else, do it. If you can do anything else in this life, do it. God needs doctors and lawyers and and nurses and and ditch diggers and garbage management. God needs people everywhere. So if you're gonna preach, don't choose it as a career choice. If you can do anything else, do it. And the meaning behind that is if you're called to do this, you can't do anything else. It doesn't mean you can't still be bivalved. You can work, you know, like I do, I always have. Paul did. But, you know, if you guys weren't here and the doors were locked today, I would I would minister somewhere to somebody. Like I told them across town last month when I went and ministered at that event with Sia. They said, 10 minutes. I said, 10 minutes? I can't even pass someone in the grocery store and talk about Jesus for less than 10 minutes. And so I wasn't obedient. I was trying to be. I didn't, I wasn't aware, but I went 20 and I could have sworn it was eight. Ephesians chapter 2, verses 8 and 10, familiar passage of scripture, says, for by grace you have been, have been, have been saved through faith. Grace doesn't save you. Putting your faith in that grace, it requires a faith response, you see. That's why everybody isn't saved. Because the grace that brings salvation has appeared to all men. But everybody's not saved. Why? Because it requires that faith response. By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own doing, it is the gift of God. Not as a result of works, self-effort, so no one can boast. That's important to God, and he deserves that. Then it says, it's important to say, then it says, because by grace we have been saved if we know Jesus. Now then, for we are his workmanship, his metanoia, his masterpiece. Created in Christ, all right, you weren't born in Christ, you were born again into Christ. So you were created, renewed, be born again into Christ Jesus for good works. You don't do good works to be born again into Christ. Which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them, which is only natural to the new man. God provides the seed. God provides the vine. He provides the water and the soil. And we the branches. We just rest and allow the fruit to grow. Effortlessly as we stay connected to the vine. Jesus. Amen. You know, I knew a guy once. He had some uh he had some banana trees right outside of his big uh windows in his den there and overlooking the pool there, and then there were some banana trees outside, and uh it didn't grow any bananas, but they had a teenage girl, daughter, and uh he thought it would be funny. So so one morning he got up and he went out there and he tied some bananas to the tree. And when his daughter got up, they said, he looked at like he's just looking, he goes, Oh wow, look how great the bananas are doing this year. And the girl was like, Oh my god, oh my god, look at those. And she couldn't believe it. And she went out there and she actually came in with a banana. She never even noticed it still had the dole sticker on there. How deceptive men can be regarding the fruit. That's what it made me think of yesterday. What do you mean by that? Well, you can't staple the fruit to the tree. Best you could do is clean the inside of the cup and the outside uh outside of the cup and the inside would still be dirty. You see what I'm saying? In man's own self-righteousness, pride, uh a person who thinks he'll just earn God's acceptance by his good deeds, he tries to attach the fruit to the tree. To look spiritual. You get what I'm talking about? But but only, the only fruit, the real fruit that grows from the it has to come from the inside out. Has to come from the inside out, from the kingdom of God within us, from the relationship of Jesus. It has to come from the regenerated, saved spirit, not the flesh. Lasting fruit. Galatians 5, 22 and 23 talks about the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. And then he says, against such things there is no law. You can turn that around and say, no law can produce any of those. Our self-felt effort, which they call legalism, it has no power to produce this fruit in us. No amount of self-elfort or good works can manufacture what only the Holy Spirit can produce. That's why the relationship is so important. No one can have a relationship with Jesus for you. Today we live in times of such chaos and rebellion. No respect for authority. And we are living in the tension I talked about last week. The tension between the devil and the return of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And where strife exists, the devil shows up. So we have to, it's important, God keeps telling me, it's important for my people to use great discernment in these times. Right? In these last days. Chaos and division are not harmless. And they don't bring about the things that we see these days, this stuff does not bring about positive change. James 3:16, he says, where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile or evil practice. Not could cause or might be, he says, where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. This is a really serious verse, isn't it? James was like that. So when jealousy and selfish ambition are present, every evil work follows. Because the enemy, it's like sending out invitation for the devil, and he's going to accept every invitation into the life of one of the people that God would love to have in the kingdom. Because the devil's job is to prevent people from accepting Jesus Christ. And then once they do, he just switches gears and tries to keep us from serving him or growing and take getting roots. That's why maintaining our hearts, to guard your heart above all else, for from it flow the well springs of life. Maintaining our hearts in peace and walking in discernment is critical right now. Don't you agree? In Genesis chapter 37, Joseph. Remember how his brothers, just to shed light on this scripture, where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice. So Joseph's brothers, they were driven by jealousy and selfish ambition. I mean, he had this dream of them bowing down to him, and he was the youngest, and he was spoiled, and he was the favorite, and they were they hated him for it. They were jealous of him. And so the enemy had an open door. And so it what began is as just jealousy or envy, it ended in a great betrayal. Right? They were going to kill him. Reuben wasn't, you know, you say, well, Reuben did save him, you know. No, well, Reuben, yeah, he kept them from killing him. But they just threw him down into a cistern instead and then sold him for 20 pieces of silver. This is all a type and shadow of Jesus, Joseph was anyway, which endured much worse. But it then they, once they betrayed him, then they had to lie to cover it up. You see, every evil practice. See, it starts with those, the jealousy and selfish ambition. But then the betrayal, the lies, the cover-up, and it haunted them for years and broke the hearts of their father. You see, and then the lies and the evil. God worked it all for good because he's awesome. But the same pattern's still at work today. But we have an anchor, don't we, in Jesus Christ. In the middle of all the chaos and all the deception, we just keep our eyes focused on Jesus. And I feel important that we say the real Jesus. Because so many people are trying to fabricate and worship a God of their imagination, a Jesus of their imagination these days. That's why the discipleship is so important, the Word of God. Colossians 1, chapter 1, verses 15 through 18, says that Jesus is the image. I love Colossians. I've been reading and listening to it over and over. You never ever get stuck on something, you just it just talks, it just elevates Jesus and it just shows us how amazing and wonderful and everything. It's all about Jesus, or it's all about nothing. You read Colossians, you'll understand that. It'll remind you of it. Amen. He is the image of the invisible God, the exact representation of God, the Father, Jesus, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities, all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church, he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. Wow. So if there was any questions about his deity or his significance, his preeminence, there it is. Right now, speaking of discernment and the great deception of our culture in these times, we're seeing, we could, there's more, but there's really two major deceptions sweeping across our culture. Radical socialism, which takes different names and forms depending on this woke ideology, and the spirit of Islam. Both ultimately oppose the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of God's word. And these movements, they seem so far apart and so different. They may look different. But in the spiritual realm, they both seek to undermine the freedom to preach the gospel and the truth of the scripture. As believers, we have to stay rooted in the word of God. Anything that grows tall, if it doesn't have strong roots, it becomes vulnerable. So we have to stay rooted in the word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to give us discernment. We're called to love people. There's that's that's without compromise, too. But we must never compromise on the word of God. Continuing that again from last week, because God just continues to show me how great the deception and the different tactics of the enemy in these end times. Pray for all the souls, especially all these young people that are coming to the Lord, because the enemy just jumps in there and joins the same church that they go to and just tries everything he can do. I think the red clay strays have the new song out, demons in your choir. But it's no secret. God, the Bible talks about it, the tares among the wheat, you see. So there's great deception, and the enemy is always trying. He said, I wrote this down, socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. See that? Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. True enough, but it has a more sinister spiritual backing. The devil himself is behind it, and he's after the gospel. Make no mistake. Have another quote from John Adams, who was our second president, one of the founding fathers from 1798, I found. He said, Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly and adequate to the government of any other. So this country was founded around and by godly people who saw things way differently than people do today, for the most part. Americans followed the rule of law largely because they believed they weren't just accountable to society, but they were also accountable to God. But when morality collapses and love waxes cold, because people love their sin, like Jesus foretold would happen in Matthew chapter 24, then chaos is the result. And that's what we're seeing. Jeremiah 17, 9 says it clearly, because people say so often you hear, well, people are basically good. They're not. Without Jesus, they're not. Jeremiah said the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. So the natural man is naturally inclined to sin. He has a propensity to sin. Just naturally. Because that's the fallen nature we're born with. The nature of the devil, the corrupted seed of the devil. And without Jesus Christ and his empowering grace that we've been talking about today and the help of the Holy Spirit, the law is the only thing. Now, this is where I turn and I talk about the law being a good thing, because without Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the law is the only thing holding back man's sinful behavior. Right? I mean. So the devil, what does he do? He comes after both. Do you see that? The law and Christianity. Defund the police. Burn down the churches. That's all the devil. No discipline. No respect for authority. No desire for God. Chaos ensues. Salvation in Christ is the only remedy. And that's where the church comes in. Praise God. You were born for such a time as this. And that's why there's a real need for people to be strong in the grace and truth of God. Grace and truth. Grace and truth. Grace and truth. Truth without grace, though it may be true, and all of this is true, even the holiness and perfection of God. The old law, the Ten Commandments, perfect, because God is perfect. But without grace, that will destroy you. So you have to have grace. Have you ever seen someone on a, just for an example, have you ever seen someone on a street corner with maybe with the bullhorn and they're preaching hellfire and brimstone? Even in the movies, you see it. You know, there's all this stuff going on, bank robber's and this and that, and somebody doing it wrong, but they're always passing this one person standing there with a sign. Repent. And you know how you always see the lines of people around the block standing up in line, waiting to repent and get prayed for from that person? No? That's right, because they're not there. There aren't any. The law, even though it's holy and perfect, it has no power to change a wicked heart. Just to condemn it and point out its sin. Am I right? Okay. Listen, we're not part of the Ten Spies Network. The negative Nellies that only see the bad. We're just talking about these things so that we can have hone our discernment with the help of God to be aware of the tactics of the enemy. Because you're the ones on the front lines in these last days. Amen. I look at Bill and I I love his ministry so much. Because it's so familiar to me. I was, you know, when God really got a hold of me, I was, not only did I own a bar, but I mean I wasn't anything like Bill. I'd only ever wanted to be something like Bill. I was, I was, I was full-blown, full-grown sinner. And uh, you know, those are things that I can draw upon now when I need to, but I don't think like I used to. But yesterday I was I was seeking the Lord. I was had myself, you know, set apart as it is, were unto the Lord, and I went out, I went outside. I went out and sat in the backyard in the sunshine for a little while with the dog, and I was just there and just talking to the Lord, seeking the Lord. What do you want to say to your children and just having him minister to me? And I hear people all around, you know, having their pool parties in the neighborhood, and you can hear their music and everything. And I'm like, oh, you know, here I am. See being super spiritual. I didn't really think like that. But I was aware. I could hear them. And, you know, it sounded very joyous and fun, you know what I mean? So I wasn't. I don't do this because I have to, I do it because I want to. But it brought back some memories. And it especially because a song came on. And I don't know, it must sound like it was right next door, but I could hear it clearly. And it was a familiar song. Because I always I I knew every song on every jukebox. And there was a song, and I think the Lord played it just for me because I I was He had me thinking about this, what I've been sharing with you guys. And some people hate country music. Some people I know you guys like rock and roll. I like rock and roll. I like all kinds of music. But this was a country song, and it's a it's a classic from 1972. I know whispering Bill Anderson wrote it, but he didn't sing it. It was another guy, I don't know who. But it was called The Lord, The Lord Knows I'm Drinking. I used I love that song. I used to love that song. I mean, it's one you always gonna sing along, right? But but but just to just to give you the synopsis of it, this this guy's out partying and running around in his own words, and and in walks the Sunday school teacher, lady, Mrs. Johnson. And she must have been looking down her nose at him and judging him, and he felt it, realized it. However, it came to be, but that was the setting, you see, that he sets up in the song. He says, Hello, Mrs. Johnson, you self-righteous biddy. I don't need you preaching, and I don't need your pity. Then he goes on, he says, the Lord knows I'm drinking and running around, and he don't need your loudmouth informing the town. The Lord knows I'm sinning and sinning ain't right. And me and the good Lord are gonna have us a good talk later tonight. And at one point, he even in there he even says, What are you doing out slumming, you know? So she was there too, right? But and and even tells her, he says, if you're nice, I'll even put a good word in for you tonight when I talk to the Lord. So why do I why do I mention this? We have to watch our witness. Because I can tell you for a fact that that's how people that don't know the Lord, or even if they do, and they're walking and they're falling, they're apart from the Lord, backsliding or whatever, that's how they see people who do walk with the Lord. Especially if they judgmental or hypocritical. And I can tell you now that woman did not help him. You see, it's the goodness of God that brings repentance. Without grace, the truth will drive people farther from God, you see. You can walk right up to that person, because where I come from, the Lord knows I'm drinking and running around. Well, you can take that two ways, but usually running around, he might not have had somebody at home waiting on him. We don't know. Running around could just mean bar hopping too, or whatever, but the point is he already knew. The Lord knows I'm sinning, he said it himself. And sinning ain't right, and I'm gonna talk to the Lord later tonight. Who knows if he was or not? But the point is, she didn't make any ground with him, and all, and when you play this song in a bar full of people, they sing along. And they're like, Yeah, that's right. You get my point? Sometimes the Lord would tell you to say something, sometimes he'd tell you to shut up. I knew of a preacher who told a story when he was traveling one time. He was in, and I'm done, I'm just talking now. But sort of the same thing just came to mind. But he was in, I want to say, I don't know, Hawaii or somewhere, or maybe in some uh in the South Pacific, in the islands, or somewhere, but he was somewhere. And he he he went down to to uh to get something. It was late, you know, uh around nine o'clock or something. And he went down and he had he asked them if he could get you know a uh a sandwich or something. They sent him and it was the bar, you know. And then and uh and uh some somehow it be he became aware that there were some uh some working ladies that that loved to meet at that place too, you see. And they would take breaks there or whatever. And he found out that it was one of their birthdays. And because just by listening, you know, not having a business exchange, but he overheard. And then they left. And so he planned with the bartender, and later on, because the bartender told him it was so-and-so, and it was that was her birthday, yeah, and and that they would, they would, they would usually met back there around this certain amount, a certain time of the of the night. And so he went out and he got a birthday cake and had it fixed up for her and had it there, and when she came back, they came back in, it was there, and and she did come and and the others, and and then they were like, Well, where did this come from? And and then the bartender started telling this guy over here, he just overheard it was your birthday, and he brought this, and they started talking to him, and he he he let them know that he was there, he was a preacher. And and the girl was just crying and sobbing and sobbing. And it turned out she'd never had a birthday cake in her life. And then at the end, they just I remember that one thing that stood out so much besides that, that it was God, you know. But they said, What kind of preacher? What kind of preacher would do that? And he said, the kind of preacher that that loves Jesus and knows that he loves you too. And he just sent me here to tell you that. Hallelujah! Heavenly Father, thank you. Thank you for this simple, wonderful message that you've given me, and I pray that it helps somebody. I hope that it helps us to use discernment, to stay close to you, to stay connected to the vine, to live as you live and to love as you love. And just as you said, I only do what I see my father do. Help us to be the same way, to only do what we see you do, and to live a life of love and grace and truth. Lord, we you were never in the presence of sin that you didn't mention it or call it out. But it was always followed. Always grace came first. Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more. We love you, Jesus, for being our perfect example. We're so thankful, Father, that you have given us your Son. We thank you, Jesus, that you completed your mission. You laid down your life and shed your blood for us and took it up again on the third day. And we thank you that you've sent your Spirit here to be with us to lead us and guide us all along this life. All the way. Even when we're surrounded on all sides by the enemy, Lord, we're seated. You've prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies. You've anointed our head with oil, our cups runneth over. Goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives. We just rest in your finished work. We thank you, Lord, for helping us to share the same grace that you've extended to us with others so that they will be with us in heaven. We love you, Lord, and we're never going to get over getting saved. Thank you, thank you, thank you. In Jesus' name. Amen. Hallelujah. Well, I love you. Thank you, Lord.
