Redeeming Love Bible Broadcast
Past, Present, and Future (LIVE)
Grace and peace aren’t throwaway words; they’re the gateway to everything that follows. We open Revelation 1:4–7 and move from greeting to glory, showing how grace turns the heart and peace settles the soul as the Holy Spirit brings us into living fellowship with the Father and the Son. From there, we face the question Pilate asked—what is truth—and answer by pointing to Jesus as the faithful witness who makes us free in the present tense, not someday, but now.
We walk through the cross as a finished work that no moral effort or religious grind can rival. The Spirit applies that victory by convincing us of sin, righteousness, and judgment that drives us to mercy, not despair. Then we step into identity: washed in his own blood, we are made kings and priests. That means authority expressed through obedience, and a priesthood embodied in witness, prayer, and presence—salt that preserves, a city that cannot be hidden, a pillar that stands when the storm hits. We also confront time’s drift and remember that God’s word does not thin with age; what he spoke remains fresh, living, and binding.
Finally, we lift our eyes: behold, he comes with clouds, and every eye shall see him. For those set against him, that day means wailing; for those who respond to grace, it means joy. The Spirit and the bride still say, Come. If you’re thirsty for truth, tired of fear, or ready to lay down your fight, drink the water of life freely and live with the peace only Jesus gives.
If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find these conversations. Your story and your questions shape what we explore next—tell us where grace is leading you.
NEW BOOK! I'm pleased to say that we have completed a new book that has been years in the making. The Ten Shirot: Songs of Redemption looks at ten songs that were sung through pivotal times in Scripture. It's an examination of the redemption of Jesus, of worship, and of Scripture in a way that we believe you probably haven't seen before. Check it out at https://a.co/d/0a4KIooL .

We're glad to have you with us in person here tonight. We're glad to have you with us joining us through the media as well. And we will be in a revelation here. Let's come on into the Word of God. Revelation chapter one. And we are going to start in verse 4 tonight. Revelation chapter 1, verse 4. And a lot of people might say this is a greeting. So amen. John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him which is and which was and which is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Hallelujah. Yeah, we've got to go back to verse four here. Right after he writes the purpose of the book, you notice how the the Holy and the Holy Ghost did this through John. Might say he wrote up the purpose of the book in the first three verses. And then he got more personal in verse four. And how does this greeting start? Grace. The word grace. Grace be unto you in peace. Right here at the beginning of the book of Revelation. Grace and peace. Oh, church, how we ought to greet each other like that. Amen. Christians, you know, born-again people, we all we all have the same Holy Spirit, we're under the same blood, we have the same Father, we have the same word. Grace and peace. This is a greeting, this is an encouragement, this is a reminder, this is an exhortation. Grace. Oh my friend, the merciful kindness of God, the charity of God toward people in need, the free, unmerited, unearned love and favor, and the source of every blessing you and I have in the Lord, as you're under the blood, as you're filled with the Holy Ghost, as you are walking and living and running a race and living a life on the firm foundation, the solid rock of Jesus Christ, washed in the blood, filled with the Holy Ghost, in constant relationship with the Lord God Almighty. And he brought you there by his grace. He brought you under his grace. And he didn't stop. His grace leads you somewhere. His grace leads you to peace. So grace and peace, my friends, it starts when the Holy Spirit comes to a soul. Perhaps you tonight, my lost friend. Lost man, lost woman, and lost child. This is you tonight. The Holy Ghost comes to you and He turns you. He turns you to the living God. The Holy Ghost turns you to Jesus. And Jesus, hallelujah and amen, He presents you to the Father. And then it comes back around. You get filled with the Holy Ghost. And you're brought into this precious, precious, precious relationship. The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit all communicating, all talking in you and with you and through you. And my friend, there's a peace. Oh, do you want some peace this night? Do you want some peace this day? Do you want some peace as you're listening to this message? Oh, my friend, he brings peace. He brings rest. He brings healing. He brings wholeness. He brings the blessed fruits of the Holy Spirit. He's God in us and we in him. We are in this world, my friend. We're not of this world. We're seated with him in constant relationship, constant fellowship. We're kept and sealed and preserved and grown up. Hallelujah. And this is the greeting of John to the churches. I'll say it again. It's an encouragement to these churches. It's a reminder to these churches. It's an exhortation to these churches. Grace and peace, you are under grace and you are kept in peace. Because hallelujah, the Holy Ghost knows what He's going to write. The Holy Ghost knows the contents of this book. And my friends, from grace and peace, we come to Him which is, Him which was, and which is to come. My friend, we occupy a space in time, whether you're in Christ or whether you're not in Christ tonight. You occupy a space in time and you occupy a space in history. And we're going to unpack this, maybe in a little bit of a different way tonight. From him which is. The time we're in right now is a time like none other. In the eyes of God, this is a time like none other. This is a time of grace. This is a time of peace. This is a time of good, the good will of the Lord God Almighty toward men. The good will of the Lord God Almighty toward you. And he expresses that most fully in Jesus Christ. When it comes to you, lost man, lost woman, lost child, Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Lord's love expressed to you. And he expressed it in this time. If you come down to verse 5, Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness. Oh, John 17 tells us that he manifested the Father to his disciples. John 18 tells us that he stood before a man named Pontius Pilate, and he said, I bear witness to the truth. I'm come to bear witness of the truth. He bore witness both in Israel and by type and form to all the nations. He's the faithful witness. Oh my friend, in a time of confusion, in a time where so many people were searching and searching and looking and looking and wondering, you know, what is the truth? Oh, even Pilate said that, and theologians have debated that for centuries. How did he say it? Was he sarcastic? Was he scornful? Was he angry? When he said, What is truth? Um, how how how did he say it? How did he say it? Well, how do you say it? Do you want to know the truth? Because, my friend, the truth is a person, the truth is a living God, and the truth will make you free. That's exactly what the truth does. He makes you to be free. So, do you want to know freedom? Oh, my friend, in America is a raging debate right now. Do you want real freedom? Oh, it's in Jesus Christ. It's not in a constitution, it's not in a political advocate, it's not in anywhere else, it's not in a government, it's not in a man, it's not in a woman. It's it's in nowhere but Jesus Christ. So you want God to bless America. Well, amen. God has blessed America and He is, because you've got Bible preaching going forward right now. You've got Jesus Christ blessing you because he's sending his Holy Spirit right now to turn you out of the lies, out of the deceptions, and into the truth, and he will make you free. And he does it in this time of grace. He does it, he is, this is the is part. This is where we are right now in history. Oh, it doesn't stop there. He's the first begotten of the dead. My friends, the scriptures will tell us many places and many ways that he died on a cross. And he died on that cross. And on that cross, he became all of your sin. He became all of creation's sin. He had no sin of his own, but what did the father do? The father took it, and if you will, he took it and he laid it on him while he was hanging on that cross. He made Jesus in essence, in being to be sin. All of your deception, all of your fornication, all of your pride, all of your ego, all of your indifference, all of it, all of it, all of it. This man, this Lamb of God who had no sin of his own, by the will of God became it in his very essence, in his very being. And he died. And this death had a point. His death had a purpose. Because in doing that, you you may remember from last week, he said it is finished before he died. That's one thing that was finished. Out of many things that were finished on that day, this is one. The work of your sin being taken care of was finished. It was finished. No sacrifice you could make can match this. No amount of book learning, no amount of theological learning, no amount of historical learning, no amount of moral strength can match what Jesus Christ did when he hung on that cross. Because, well, that's your sacrifice. The moral strength is your sacrifice, the learning is your sacrifice, and be careful with that because scripture will warn you ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. How do you get to the knowledge of the truth? Well, my friend, the Holy Ghost comes and he turns you. He convinces you of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Not only in general, but in particular, your sin, his righteousness, and his judgment. Which now in the is. This is what his judgment does. Sets you free. This is what his judgment does. Drives you straight to the cross. This is what his judgment does. Brings you to your knees to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to be your Savior. That's what his judgment does in the now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And he rose again, my friend, he's the first begotten of the dead. Oh church, now because he lives, you live. You live in him, and he lives in you. By means, as we've heard, of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. And my friend, he's seated now. He's living now. He's seated now at the right hand of his Father in glory, and he's waiting for something. He's waiting for the future. He's waiting for the is to come. But now, this is the day of your salvation. So liar, thief, blasphemer, murderer, in the grips of your lust, in the grips of your sexual perversion, in the grips of your despair, in the grips of your rage, in the grips of your fear. Now is the moment of your salvation. Oh, turn to him. Turn to him. Because, my friend, your sin is already taken care of. Your blood is already shed. Um, your your your life is already in him. Why don't you have it yet? Why should you die? Because my friend, believe on and on the Lord Jesus Christ, trust the Lord Jesus Christ. Throw yourself on the Lord Jesus Christ. Because you're in a desperate situation, my friend. You're in a desperate situation. But God says, why should you die? God says, the whole reason why the future hasn't come, why I have not returned yet is you. I want you to turn to me. I don't want you to perish. Maybe you think you should perish. Well, God thinks differently, amen. Maybe you think you're too far gone. Well, God thinks differently. He says, I don't want anyone to perish, and that includes you. So no matter how desperate, no matter how long, no matter how bad, no matter how ugly your sin might be, I guarantee you, you haven't sinned beyond the blood. You haven't out sinned the blood. You haven't outsinned the love of a father, you haven't outsinned the strength of the Holy Ghost, you haven't outsinned grace and mercy, you haven't outsinned them. So, friend, why should you die? Why should you die? The prince of the kings of the earth. And the translation into English in the King James fails a bit here. He's the first of the kings, he's the highest of the kings, he's the greatest of the kings, he's the king of every king, he's above every government, he's above every culture, he's above every he's above time, he's above space, he's above creation itself. He was there before there was a creation, my friend. He is above and he is king, and this is the one who is saying this to you. This is the one. If you're gonna trust anybody, trust him. If you're gonna follow anybody, follow him. If you're gonna believe anybody, believe him. If you believe the king over all kings tonight, because this is who he is. Oh no, the precious revelation goes on unto him that loved us and washed us, washed us from our sins. In his own blood, in his own blood not not in your blood. Let that blow you away tonight. Not in your blood. He doesn't want your blood. He does not want your blood. Let that blow you away. To come under his grace, he doesn't want your blood. To come under his grace, he doesn't want you to make some backbreaking effort. To come under his grace, he doesn't want you to to build a tower, he doesn't want you to build a stairway to heaven, he doesn't he doesn't want you to figure out, he doesn't want you to conform to his moral code, he doesn't want you to even conform to the law that he gave to Moses. No. Believe on the one that he sent because he already did everything. Again, I say, Well, what can you do? You can go to church every time the doors are open. You can go you can go to churches of all the denominations under the sun. You can you can sit in your room and listen to 20, 30, 40, 50 different preachers and try to figure it all out for yourself. Try to harmonize it. God doesn't want any of that. He wants you to believe on the one he sent. Jesus Christ. There is no other name, my friend. Under heav in the heaven or in the earth or above the earth or under the earth by which you must be saved. Washed us with his own blood. Oh, and he didn't stop there. Hath made us kings and priests. Oh my George. What are we missing? What are we missing? Wanna talk about experiences? Is this your day-to-day experience? You wake up, I'm I'm a king. And uh I didn't make me a king. Hallelujah. Jesus made me a king. Jesus gave me a place of authority in this world. Jesus, you remember how he he gave Adam dominion? Way way back when? He gave Adam dominion, you know, before he fell. Oh, hallelujah. You got some dominion now. Why? God made you a king. That's your position in this world. God made you a king, God made you a priest. You're the one who has this gospel. You're the one who has your gospel. You're the one who has your testimony. You're the one who has your relationship with the Lord. You're the one, you know, the Holy Ghost is in you, and He, one thing He does, he starts reminding you of everything that Jesus said. Where did Jesus get it? From the Father. How is he getting it to you? The Holy Ghost. You walk around that way. You are a living temple. You are the dwelling place of the Lord God Almighty, hallelujah, on this earth. God set you to be the pillar and the ground of the truth in this world. In a time of chaos, in a time of fear, in a time of uncertainty, my friend. In a time of great worry, in a time of great frustration, in a time of great anxiety, in a time of lust that's becoming more and more unbridled in our nation. What did he do? He set you as a pillar. Imagine the great storm is just beating and lashing, and the rains and the wind, but there's this pillar that's standing strong. There's this city that's up on a hill. And no matter how terrible it might get, you can't hide it. There's a light to the world. That's you. There's assault on the earth to preserve the earth. There's a salt of the earth that that believes God and obeys him. There's assault on the earth, and that's you. Hallelujah, you're a king and you're a priest. Never miss that. It's not robbery to be what you are in the Lord. Too many of us think we're nothing. Too many of us think we're of no consequence. Too many of us think, well, I'm just a quiet person. What can I do? Too many of us think, well, I don't have a lot of money. What can I do? Who am I? Too many of us worry and worry and worry. That's robbery, my friend. You're a king and you're a priest. You're washed in the blood. You're you're the pillar and the ground of the truth. You're a city on a hill, you're the light of this world, and you're under a promise of Jesus Christ Himself. He prayed for you in John 17 before he said, before he did that, he said things like, you're gonna do greater things. He said that things like, if you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father will be glorified in this earth. You have you you are an heir. And you have an inheritance that's worth more than this world could ever express. Remember that. And not only remember it, but live it, my friend. Live it. Kings and priests unto God and his Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen. Now before we go to verse 7, come up to come up to verse 4 one more time. So we're gonna do this a little bit different. Him which is. You just heard a bit about that. And which was. Which was. See, the Bible will tell us Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and he is. And my friend, you can go and you can see the witness of creation in Genesis 1. You can see the witness in John 1 that Jesus Christ is that word, and he is with the Father, and he was the Father. All things created by Him, through Him. You can come up to the book of Colossians, all things consist by Him, and that He was before His creation. I want to tell you today, the passage of time, especially those in this room, and you know, brothers and sisters abroad, I I don't know a lot of what's going on in you. And hallelujah, I know this will be true of you as well, though. Time's passage does not diminish or minimize the Word of God. Time's passage does not do that. You see, God's outside of time. We are in time. And God help us in America, we got short memories. It's just a cultural thing. A lot of people can't remember what was preached last week. I mean, you're born again, you're saved, I love you, but you can't remember what was preached last week for the life of you. But the passage of time does not minimize his word. See, the Holy Ghost gave this word at various times. Hebrews will tell us that, various times, sundry times, to different people throughout history. Arguably going back to, some people will put Job pre-flood. I mean, going back a long time. God gave this word, and the Holy Spirit didn't stutter, the Holy Spirit didn't make a mistake. The Holy Spirit gave you exactly what he wanted to give you in this word. It's not a temporary word, it's a living word. Just as living and inspired now, just as living and just as inspired and just as relevant today. And my friend, the blood will never lose its power. From our perspective, the blood was shed a long time ago. You see, Book of Revelation, uh, if you put it at AD 90, there or about you see, to us, that's ancient. As we reckon time, it's ancient. But to God, it's like he just said it. It's as fresh as though he just said it. It's as anointed, it's as powerful as though he just said it. My friend, I want you to think back. Think back. Hallelujah, the Lord's been doing that in me this the last seven days. Think back. Remember when I spoke to you. Remember when I called you to do what you're doing today. Remember that. What has God spoken to you that you've left behind? What has the Lord spoken to you that you've let fall by the wayside? What has the Lord spoken to you? That's to you, it seems like it was just so long ago. It seems like so many things have changed. It seems like things are just sort of different all around you. Um, you know, people have come and people have gone, and um, you know, you may be married, um, you you may have children now, you may you may, you know, your finances have gone up and down and up again and down again and up again. And my friend, it just seems like everything's different now, but my friend, that's not so. God's word to you. See, he walked Abraham out under a starry sky, and he promised Abraham, he said, look up. That's how many descendants you're gonna have. Abraham didn't even have a kid. God promised him that. And he only saw one child born in the promise, Isaac. He saw one. He didn't see innumerable. Not not with his eyes. But my friend, he believed God. Do you believe God tonight? That word he gave to you maybe two years ago, maybe four years ago, maybe ten years ago, maybe twenty, maybe forty, maybe fifty. Just as true today as though he just spoke it to you. Or do you live life that way, my friend? Do you live life that way? Because God was just as much God back then as he is right now. And so we'll come to who is to come. From him which is, from him which was, which is to come. Now we got an interesting verse in verse 7. And I want you to hear this verse in light of grace and truth, in light of grace and mercy, in light of grace and peace. Behold, he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him, and all kindreds of the earth shall wail. Wail because of him. Even so. Amen. Even so, amen. We have not seen this yet. We have not seen this yet. He cometh with clouds, and um friend, um, I want you to remember the pillar of cloud in the book of Exodus. That wasn't just a regular cloud. That was the glory of God. That was the glory of the Lord. And so Jesus is coming, and this is who is to come. Jesus is coming in his glory. And I happen to believe you may share this or you may not, that this is a living cloud. This isn't a natural phenomenon. And if you come over to I'm getting that from later on in the book. Revelation 19. And it's a long, long section. And I saw heaven open, verse 11. I saw heaven open, and behold, a white horse. And he this is right after the marriage supper of the Lamb, too. Glory to God. This is right after that. Um he that sat on him was called faithful and true. This is Jesus. This is the same God who died on the cross. This is the same God who rose again on the third day. In righteousness doth he judge and make war. And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns. He's the king of all kings. And he had a name written that no man knew but he himself. He was clothed with a vesture like a cloak or an outer garment, dipped in blood, and his name is called capitalized the Word of God. This is Jesus. And the armies which are in heaven, he cometh with clouds. The armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, linen, white and clean. And you'll see later in that chapter. I want you to see yourself here. Don't just see the historical armies. Don't just see the Antichrist and the false prophet and their armies. Don't just see that in the future. You see, these people will be set against God. They will be set against him. They are coming to fight him physically. What about you? What about you tonight? He cometh with clouds, every eye shall see every that's you. Every single eye shall see him. And they also which pierced him. And all kindreds of the earth. Some people will say we're talking about Israel particularly, and we're talking about all the Gentile nations at the same time. All kindreds of the earth shall wail. Wail profound grief. For them that stay set against God, that stay set against Jesus. Profound grief at his coming. All the kindreds of the earth shall wail. Oh my friend, are you set against him? Even tonight, are you set against him? Are you set in a ray? Um, do you have yourself? And then you notice the the the armies. And this happens before the millennial reign, and it happens one more time after the millennial reign. Armies. You know the thing about both of those times, even though they're separated by a thousand literal years, Satan is the one behind it ultimately. So you've got Satan, you've got the beast, you've got false prophet, you've got all these armies. They are together, they are united, they are supporting one another, they are propping one another up against Jesus. Against Jesus. So you may be set against the Lord tonight. Who else is around you supporting you? Who else is around you, encouraging you to make war against God and against his people? Who else is around you holding you up? Encouraging you when times get tough, encouraging you, supporting you, coddling your lust, stoking your anger when it fades, handing you the drugs, encouraging you to mock God, encouraging you to mock the church, encouraging you that it's all just a matter of opinion, that it's all just a matter of interpretation, and it's all just a unifying myth. Encouraging you that's oh you might feel bad today. Oh that Jesus, he makes you feel bad. Oh, I've got another one over here. He'll make you feel good. You're an army making war against God. And my friends, the reason I said the reason I opened this with Grace be unto you in peace. You see, this is coming. You continue to fight God, and I guarantee you you will wail. You will wail. That is coming. See, all those armies, they they they come ready to fight. But then the Lord in his glory. I mean, all of a sudden the weapons are just thrown down, all of a sudden the strategy is gone. All of all of a sudden, it's just wailing. It's wailing, it's wailing like you've never heard on a scale like you've never heard. Imagine millions wailing. Imagine everyone through history whoever took up a fight against God backwards, everyone throughout history. My friend, if the if the tribulation, if the rapture happens tomorrow, you're on the earth already. And you will wail. Along with everyone throughout history, whoever took up arms and ever died fighting Jesus. But my friends, why does the Lord tell you about this time? I want to take you to the end of the book of Revelation. I love the book of Revelation, if you haven't noticed. It begins with grace and peace. It begins with the Lord sharing to the churches the things which will shortly come to pass. It begins with that. And it ends. You know, God can't let it end without an invitation. This is God's invitation. Hallelujah. Revelation 22.17. And the spirit capital S. The Spirit of God and the bride. Every man, woman, and child born again, bloodwashed, spirit-filled, Jesus loving throughout history. The spirit and the bride say to you, lost man, lost enemy of God, we say to you, Come, come, why should you perish? Why should you wail at the coming of the Lord? Why not rejoice? Why not celebrate? Why not, why not look forward to going home? Why not look forward to him? Why fight this fight against God? We say, and God with us, and God in us, and God through us, we say, Come to you, we say, Come. Let him that saith, every individual, come. And let him that is a thirst, that's you. Are you thirsty tonight? Let him that is a thirst come. And whosoever will. Whosoever, that's you. You put your name there. Whosoever will. The most vile enemy of God walking this earth right now. And God wants that God doesn't want to meet you in war. God doesn't want to meet you on a on a white horse with a robe dipped in blood, with eyes as a flaming fire, with a sharp two-edged sword coming out of his mouth. He doesn't want to meet you as his enemy. See, now is the day where God's taking his enemies and turning them into friends. Now is the day where God's taking his enemies and saying, Come, I've got something for you. Whosoever will, let him take of the water of life. And let him take freely. Let him take of the water of life freely. Live. Live and not die. Live and not die and spend your remaining years declaring the good works of the Lord. Live and not die. Freely live as much as you want. Drink as much of this water as you want. And Jesus said, you know, you're not going to thirst again. Jesus said, This is the living water. This is the living word. This is the Holy Ghost. Drink and drink deeply. And never thirst again. Fall to your knees a sinner and call upon the name of the Lord. And you know what? He takes you up and he lifts you up. You fall to your knees a sinner and you get up a saint. You fall to your knees as a dead man and you get up as a living soul. Quickened, alive, filled with the Holy Ghost. All of your mourning turned to dancing. All of your weeping and all of your tears turned to tears of joy. All of your heaviness turned to celebration. All of your fear turned into a boldness. All of your worry answered. Completely, utterly, totally answered. All of your conflict and all of your strife. All brought to peace. By God Himself, never to be undone. Beyond all principality, beyond all power, beyond all work of the devil himself, beyond all work of your dead flesh, beyond all work, it's all answered. And it's all done. My friend, that's that's the Lord's invitation to you tonight. So if our musicians who are here will come forward. Hallelujah. Call upon the name of Jesus tonight. Church, this altar is open for you tonight. If you're lost and you want to be born again, you want to call upon the name of the Lord to be saved, I just invite you, just come on up as these folks behind me sing. And I'd be glad to pray with you. And my friends, um, whether you're on the podcast, whether you're on the video, whether you're on social media somewhere, whether you know you're on the radio somewhere, um, no mat no matter where you are, and you're lost. And you don't want to be lost. You're lost and you're scared. And you don't want to be scared. You're lost and you know that you believe Jesus. You know that you want Jesus. I want you to simply honor the word of God tonight and stop and call upon the name of the Lord and call upon the name of Jesus. Ask him to be born again, ask him to be saved, ask him for his blood to apply to you, ask him for his Holy Spirit. And my friend, ask him for life. And take even this word in Revelation 17. Ask him for the water of life. If you don't have words of your own, just borrow his, they're good enough for you. Glory to God. We want to hear about it. We want to know you. We want to be a continuing ministry to you. We want to be a help to you. We want to be an encouragement to you. We want to be a safe place to you. We want to be a place of rest to you. We want to know you. Invite you to reach out to us. Um, call us on the phone, send us, send us a physical letter, um, send us an email, send us text messages. Um, you're welcome in in all of our services. And we're excited to meet you. And so respond to us and you know, thank you for sharing these. Um keep on sharing them, keep on liking them, keep on commenting, uh, keep on pushing these. Um, keep on sending people links, keep on doing what you're doing. Because, my friend, it's an encouraging thing to see cities added. And that's the work of the Holy Ghost. And I believe he's doing some of that work for you. So thank you. And may the Lord continue to richly bless us.
