good morning my friends I'm pastor
Steven Brooks welcome today to our
midweek Bible study why don't you take
your Bibles today and meet me in the
book of Romans chapter 10 and let's open
up today in prayer Heavenly Father we
asked it as we go into your word that
your Holy Spirit would come and quicken
your word that the Scriptures would be
alive and that we can receive today's
message as spiritual food as manna from
heaven in Jesus name we pray and
together we say amen praise the Lord now
Before we jump into Romans chapter 10
let me say thank you to everybody who
has been sowing into the hanger project
we are still continuing on with that
project and many of you many of you have
given in to it and it's going to be very
exciting when our ministry has our own
hanger for the future ministry aircraft
so thank you for sowing into that and
that link is still available on the
website should you like to contribute to
that special project we are also working
on a current project as well of putting
a fence around the entire ministry
property and if you would like to sow
towards that you can give as well now
the fence project does not list it on
the website but if you would like to
give towards that online or through mail
just make a notation that this is for
the fence project and we'll make sure
that that giving is allocated towards
that specific project praise God so
thank you for your generous giving as
all projects at the ministry are moving
forward by God's grace and with the
Lord's blessing praise God Romans
chapter 10 verse 17 I know that you're
familiar with this verse but let's take
a look at it for a moment it says so
then faith comes by hearing and hearing
by the Word of God faith it comes the
fact that ik that can come into your
heart also denotes that faith could go
your faith can get weak if you cut off
the supply line if you stop eating
physical food your body is going to get
weak your spirit feeds on spiritual food
that food is identified as the Word of
God so if you stop feeding on the word
if you stop hearing the word you're
going to get weak we're on on your
inside within your spirit your inner man
you will be weakened and we don't want
that to happen your faith is very
important for you and to step into what
God has for you to do all of the
promises of God they are accessed by
faith so you're going to go through the
door of faith in order to step into what
God has for you to do your faith has to
be up and it's vital that we keep the
Word of God coming in on a constant
basis let me give you a scripture to
show you just how important this is this
this is amazing Romans chapter 14 is one
of my favorite chapters in the Bible and
the last verse in that chapter would be
verse 23 and the tail end of that verse
says for whatever is not from faith is
sin oh that's that's powerful pastor
Stephen what does that mean
it means that whatever you're going to
do you need to do it with all your heart
as unto the Lord and do it without
doubting okay if you're going to go on
vacation
take your vacation in faith if you've
got to go on a journey take that journey
in faith if you're going to tithe tithes
in faith if you're going to give give in
faith hallelujah if you're going to get
married you better do that in faith look
everything that you're going to do in
life as a Christian you need to do it in
faith not in town not in fear I mean if
you're going to take a new job and that
job is presented to you take that job in
faith that God's blessing it and that
this is the will of God and that you're
making the right choice praise the Lord
if you're going to start your own
business start it in faith if you're
gonna buy a new facility or a new
building buy it in faith don't do
anything with doubt and well huh I don't
know if this is of God or not hmm I
don't know what then don't do anything
then because that is sin just to walk
around and unbelief and all kinds of
doubt
about what God said he would do and who
he is we don't want to be like that and
so if you see a person like that that's
a person maybe even a Christian but they
have cut off the supply line of faith
they are not hearing the word they may
be in church maybe they may be hearing
something but it's maybe it's just a
bunch of baloney a bunch of babbling and
some preachers unfortunately they're
really good at that they could stand up
and talk for fifty minutes and when you
walk out you're still like you know like
well how's that going to help me pay my
light bill how is that going to help me
to you know to overcome this sickness
that my body is facing how is that gonna
help me overcome to the temptation of
sin how's that gonna help me do anything
alive I mean sometimes it's just a bun
or a bunch of ranting and raving but my
my friends that doesn't mean it's faith
you need the here faith and this this
word when it comes into your heart I'm
telling you it will make a winner out of
a loser whoo hallelujah
it'll make somebody prosperous who
previously was defeated and suffering in
LAC oh my goodness how we need the true
word presented to us in faith and I
think that's why sometimes when a person
even when they hear a sermon it doesn't
do anything why they even the message is
being delivered in unbelief oh my
goodness Wow Wow
think about the magnitude of that
actually preaching God's Word in
unbelief well you know God said he'd do
it
but you just never know well you just
you just blanket it the entire message
in unbelief you took God's Word and you
wrapped it in unbelief and you told the
people here eat it
whoa look that's why that that's why if
you sit under a canopy like that you're
gonna you're gonna you're gonna have
those results of just defeat in your
life
whew but I'm telling you what unveiling
of the word in its strength and its
glory and power and saying well God said
it he meant it I believe it that settle
that you're on your way to victory
praise God so it's very very important
that you are familiar with the Word of
God that you know the Word of God
because it says for whatever is not from
faith it's sin oh if you're gonna do
something do it in faith with no
doubting mmm pastor Stephen I that I
that sounds like that that sounds like
the gospel whoa hallelujah I'm telling
you the gospel is bold even with all of
the love and mercy and grace and all of
those things that's don't ever tried to
strip the boldness from the gospel even
Paul said pray for me that I may preach
the gospel with boldness mmm hallelujah
see we're living in a society that wants
to strip definitions away the definition
of femininity masculinity just just
strip everything where nobody knows
where anything is we're just just jumble
everything and confuse everything oh no
the moment you start getting into the
Word of God you start getting them to
cook into clarity you start getting into
your true identity and it just removes
all of this insanity Oh hallelujah
praise God that we can know the truth
and we can walk in freedom praise the
Lord whatever is not from faith is sin
so you need to keep your faith up
because the the environment of the world
is one of a sin culture okay and the
enemy wants to take his culture and
bring that into the church and when I
say into the church literally comes down
to he wants to drag it into your life
Satan he's are the Feiler he takes extra
pleasure in targeting men and women of
God and children and taking something
made in the image of God that would be
you that would be me and going after
something that would be seen as pure
that's specifically he's gonna want to
try to defile that not just get you the
sin he's gonna want to make you dirty
that's that's what he likes to do he's
the filer and so you have to say you
know what devil you may be a filthy
sinner which of course he is he's that
he's you know he's the originator of all
of this stuff but you have to say devil
you're not putting your junk on me and
you're not bringing your junk into my
life into my body into my mind I resist
you in the name of Jesus whoa glory
hallelujah so all of that stuff is
floating out there plus the fact we have
the external pleasure pressure Plus this
thing of living in a body that has not
yet fully redeemed remember when you and
I were saved our spirit was saved but
our body is not yet born again so it is
not yet what we would call fully
redeemed now that day is not too far
away there will come a day it's going to
be amazing or guys every one of you guys
watching me that's a Christian you're
gonna be turned literally into something
beyond the Superman and ladies you're
gonna know you're going to be
transformed into something beyond even
like a superwoman figure because this
mortality is going to put on immortality
a concept that in many ways we can't
even grasp we are going to put on a body
and that's going to be your same body
but the body will be clothed it will
have immortality inserted into it
whoo and you're going to live forever
and you'll never get tired
you'll never get sick you'll you'll just
you'll never know fatigue you'll never
know a sore throat
you'll never know pain ever it's gonna
be the most amazing thing so that's just
right around the corner and we need to
keep pressing on keep pressing on
because this great full inheritance it's
not too far away
praise the Lord so till then we have to
overcome the external influences of the
Evil One and also we have to overcome
the urges the impulses of a body that
has not yet fully redeemed and sometimes
your body says I want to go this way I'd
like to go over there kind of like Adam
and Eve this you know God God told them
all of this
these trees and all of this other fruit
you can eat I we do have this one tree
over here that belongs to me you're not
allowed to eat that but you know that's
where they gravitated towards they
wanted that one tree and they ate of it
and it brought the curse into the earth
it released sin into the earth and Adam
Adam passed on that fallen nature of
spiritual death to every every person on
the planet now in Christ we have been
redeemed from spiritual death and now we
have spiritual life in Christ but our
bodies our bodies we you have to keep
your body under don't let your body rule
you you could end up going down all
kinds of crazy pads and you don't want
to do stuff like that some people are
governed literally by the way they feel
well pastor Stephen a my my philosophy
my theology you won't find it in the
Bible my theology is that if it feels
good you should just do it
oh you're going to have a lot of trouble
my friends you need to always obey the
Scriptures obey the Word of God and if
God says you can do this but you can't
do that don't not only don't do that
don't try to see how close you can get
to it just say I'm not even going over
there I'm staying away from it praise
the Lord stay safe so you want to walk
in purity you want to walk in holiness
well pastor Steve and I I haven't heard
anybody say that word in 40 years well
I'm not the only one preaching it but it
is true that the holiness was not just
for people living in the 1800s and
Christians in the early 1900s
holiness is is one of the primary marks
of a believer whoo hallelujah and we are
told in the Psalms to worship the Lord
in the beauty of holiness there is
something about holiness that is so
attractive to unbelievers they might not
admit it they might say they're sinners
a lot of fun they might say that they
like being dirty and they like being
filthy and they like plunging into the
depths of darkness
but they have to admit there's something
there's something about holiness that
it's not only beautiful it's powerful
and it's it's light it's the light of
God and it's also one of the primary
attributes of God whoa
glory to the Lord okay so pastor Stephen
what should I do though when I am
endeavoring to keep the faith but yet
I'm feeling the pressures of the world
and perhaps I'm even feeling some
cravings or submerges maybe to do some
things that as God would say are out of
bounds what should I do in cases like
that you should just take a little time
to sit back and take a chill pill praise
the Lord
pastor Stephen what is a chill pill what
do you mean by that I mean I mean by
that you need to you need to pop a
scripture hallelujah you need to take a
little break now if you're at work and
you're on the clock just look for your
next break maybe you can grab 10 or 15
minutes or however long you're allowed
to take a break or if you have a lunch
break coming up whatever it might be but
look for that break time where you can
get a loan and get quiet with the Lord
and find a verse or maybe a little
portion of Scripture maybe it's two or
three verses clumped together that speak
to that external pressure that would be
trying that what tried to be breaking
through your barrier of peace and trying
to trouble you just begin to read that
scripture that the Holy Spirit would
bring to you and just begin to let that
begin to soothe you and comfort you now
this is how you take your chill pill
this is how you take your scripture you
may feel something tried to disrupt your
peace you may feel strong urges or
temptations to do certain things but
just sit down calmly grab your Bible and
say Holy Spirit I'm ready for a chill
pill and let's say let's say something's
trying to get you in the fear something
happened and and you know and you know
that it's not God's will for you to be
in fear but something happened and it
did kind of like it bounced off your
armor but it maybe it made that dink in
your armor you hit you pretty hard and
you're thinking I don't want that thing
to trouble
me it is out there and it's trying to
penetrate what do you do you take a
chill pill and you just you take that
little break maybe 15 minutes 20 minutes
it works really well because in the
natural whenever you take a pill you
swallow it and it goes into your body it
begins to get digested and then through
the bloodstream it's carried throughout
your body and so it can take 15 or 20
minutes and then it begins to work and
do its thing and isn't it an amazing
reality to know that you can go from a
place of being troubled maybe anxious
maybe worried maybe feeling the pressure
of temptation you can go from a place of
that to absolute peace that would be the
same level of peace that Adam had in the
Garden of Eden before he ever sinned you
can step into that within 15 or 20
minutes by allowing the children time
whatever you feel that thing fill that
pressure or whatever it might be just
take your Bible sit down and begin to
read it slowly and if it's two or three
verses together just read through them
slowly think about it and then just read
it again slowly meditate on it and and
say it Lord it's working and you'll
notice that it is Lord is starting to
work but just confess that it is agree
with it that it is and just read it
again
and read it again and you'll find out
within about 15 or 20 minutes that
stuff's leaving you that trouble that
fear that voice of the enemy it's just
that wall of the fence goes back up and
your peace is restored you know we live
in a time if we're honest we live in a
time where it can be very easy to lose
the presence of the Lord there are so
many things around us that that cry for
our attention some of them of course
good some of them of course they're
essential such as your baby your child
or your children you know you have to
meet those needs yet to attend to that
work and so forth Exedra but there
also all this other stuff there's like a
million things Under the Sun that you
can get caught up in and of course they
can be good things but you have to
realize that let me speak to you from a
ministers perspective I could get so
caught up in ministry that I can begin
to lose the presence of the Lord well
pastor Steven that seems contradictory
how could that be because busyness can
never be a substitution for one-on-one
relationship with the Lord hallelujah
now sometimes these things can't be
supplemental it's like the vitamin
industry you can take a vitamin you can
take vitamin C and you can take vitamin
B or something like that okay that's
nice but hey you still you need to eat
good food because while you may take a
supplement really if you want things to
work the way they should you need to be
eating good healthy meals well it's the
same way ministry is good doing good
things is good and there can be some
overflow on that but still still all
that activity can never substitute for
when you stop and go before the Lord
yourself one on one and that that's the
thing when you get into the presence of
the Lord you'll be blessed but we
remember let's go back to that fact we
are still in a flesh and blood body and
your flesh likes all kinds of activity
you ever notice that your flesh doesn't
want to pray whew it just doesn't want
to pray and I'm a proponent of prayer
because the Bible is I I teach people
the importance of prayer but as much
praying as I've done for as many years
as I've been praying not just teaching
on it but also endeavoring to live it by
praying you know practicing prayer
myself there's days when my flesh not my
spirit there's days when my flesh
doesn't want to pray I'd know exactly
what Jesus meant when he said the Spirit
is willing but the flesh is weak the
flesh wants to do some of these other
options that are out there and that's
why I say truthfully that it's very easy
that you can lose the presence of the
Lord but we're not going to let that
happen that's why I'm here talking you
today we're going to be a peep
that are constantly in the throne room
area of heaven constantly in the
presence of God living on earth but our
hearts are in heaven and we are
communion we are in constant communion
with the God that we love and serve now
Psalm 16 verse 11 you will show me the
path of life in your presence is
fullness of joy hallelujah
have you ever noticed that after you
have spent time with God and the
blessing that comes out of that the
fullness the contentedness the happiness
that comes out of that you just you're
left with a satisfied feeling that omits
thoughts of I'm so glad that I stopped
and spent time with God because honestly
you know there's nothing else that fills
you up like that there's nothing else
that can do for you what God will do for
you when you really draw near to him
whoa glory to God hmm when you get into
the presence of the Lord you will escape
all of this hustle-bustle activity of
the flesh I'm not saying that we
shouldn't hustle we shouldn't be busy we
shouldn't accomplish a lot but I'm
saying things that are done in the flesh
if it's not stamped by God but it's just
our jittery nervous flesh wanting to do
anything but go pray then you know those
things are not going to count those
things will not have value on the day of
judgment when we stand before the Lord
it's all gonna go up in smoke and some
of it you can tell it's already going up
into smoke even in this life because
it's just you look at it and it's not
producing I have a pastor friend he uh
he picked me up one time at the airport
and got into the car with he made a
brand-new car a very nice European car
and he was driving me kind of fast I
don't like fast driving I don't like
blasting over the speed limit I don't
like stuff like that I guess he thought
well that's a fast car I got to drive it
fast and he was driving it fast but I
sensed I sensed even steel with his
brand-new shiny
European car I sense actually despite
his exterior kind of like he likes it I
kind of I was just sensing in the spirit
that he didn't like it and somehow just
led into a little conversation about the
car and basically asked him hey uh are
you really happy though with this car
and he said oh and he just came flat out
in the minute he said no he said I don't
even know why I bought this thing he
said I'll be flat-out honest he said
Stephen he said I like the vehicle I had
the previous vehicle yeah I had he said
it was like seven or eight years old he
said I liked it better than I like this
one he said I don't know what came over
B sit alone why I went out and bought
this car just I just I got got bit with
the new car bug and of course plunged
further into debt hmm why don't we do
things like that why did we run
everywhere do all kinds of things except
run to the Lord and get into his
presence you know you can talk about the
presence of the Lord and say how
wonderful is and not even go there
you could run to revival meetings and
then run back not even really be changed
except for the fact that you could say I
went Freddy's god I was there I was on
the front row I saw the power of God
well did it change you did it really
connect with you I'm not saying that the
revival meeting wasn't genuine or
anything like that I'm just saying you
can you could just do all of this stuff
but never really stop and get into the
presence of the Lord yourself mmm and it
does change you it does it does it does
change you but remember here's the thing
you're gonna have to go back again why
because faith comes by hearing
you can't just hear once you just can't
have one throne-room encounter and think
that'll hold you for the next thirty
years it won't it won't the the surge of
the waves of life and the polluted world
that we live in and the things that you
have to deal with on a daily basis of
things maybe you see unintentionally
that are evil or corrupt maybe the
things you hear of a profane nature
those
things that just hit you from all
corners and you're gonna have to walk
close with the Lord or eventually you're
gonna start getting chinks and hits on
your armor and if you don't stay strong
to keep your faith up eventually one of
those arrows is going to get through so
we want to walk close to the Lord and
take a chill pill again this is how you
do it you go back into the scriptures
when you find that stuff pressing in you
just go back into the scriptures say
Lord I'm here to spend time with you you
don't want me to live in a state like
this and I'm not gonna allow it I'm here
to seek your face and and Lord I'm
looking for the scripture Holy Spirit
help me to find it I want my chill pill
and you'll find it holy s--t usually you
can find that very quickly the Holy
Spirit will just bring it up to you you
could turn there you already know where
you're going and you start reading it
real slow it starts to soothe you starts
to soothe you there can be times he'll
give you another verse another chill
pill and you take that one too and you
swallow it and you swallow it and you
meditate on it and then you get into the
peace let's see we need to be living in
the peace of God we need to be living in
the presence of the Lord that's where
the joy is at and also is it's the joy
that releases the strength of God in
your life the joy of the Lord is your
strength and we see that in Nehemiah
chapter 8 verse 10 but right now let's
go to Isaiah chapter 26 verse 3 one
verse a really good chill pill in this
first you will see a promise but you
also see a condition the promise is
amazing but a lot of people they're not
walking in the manifestation of the
promise why they haven't met the
condition so there's a part a and a lot
of people get really excited about Part
A but then it's not it's not working in
their life why they haven't done Part B
and Part B is the condition we need to
talk about both Isaiah chapter 26 verse
3 you will keep him in perfect peace
well that's that's some amazing peace
that's not just normal peace that's
perfect peace not trouble about anything
now you're aware of things you're fully
aware of everything but you're not
troubled about anything
you will keep him in perfect peace okay
that's the promise here's the condition
who's mind
okay port right here point to your mind
not your toe not your elbow God doesn't
lead you by your toe God doesn't lead
you by your elbow God doesn't lead you
by a feeling in your back or your neck
or some God lead you by the Holy Spirit
whoa hallelujah he leads you by the
inner witness of the Holy Spirit that
inner witness of the Spirit will come up
and register with your mind and you'll
know the will of God thank you Lord
Jesus
the witness is not external it's
internal by the Holy Spirit the Holy
Spirit lives on the inside of you whoa
thank you Lord Jesus and that witness
will bear spirit
it'll excuse me it'll bear witness with
your spirit and then your mind will pick
up on it you'll have the understanding
of it and then you move forward in the
plan of God you will keep him in perfect
peace whose mind whose mind just stayed
on you because he trusts in you well how
do you keep your mind state on the Lord
you have to take your chill pill if you
don't take your chill pill you're going
to participate in global warming what is
global warming sin and I'm not getting
into you know political correctness
right now I really believe I really
believe that people are just missing the
whole point on these things the whole
point is this is that if you don't know
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you
really need to be concerned about a
different kind of global warming you're
totally missing the point because hell
is real and hell is hot whoa whoa hotter
than these magnaflow's of lava that
they're having with these some of these
Hawaiian volcanoes where the lava flows
out and you look at that that's just a
little bitty glimpse of what hell is
like because there are people in Hell
that are in that lava they're in that
fire they're being they're being
continually consumed in the flames but
their life doesn't cease to exist it
just goes on it just goes on it's the
life of the Damned the life of the
cursed the life of those who are lost in
their sins who never received Christ as
their Lord and Savior
thank you Lord Jesus so you will have
peace when your mind is stayed on the
Lord how do you how do you have that
peace you have to take the chill pill
okay if you take the chill pill you'll
get start to get the the coolness and
the that things of the world the heat
the pressure that's out there you'll
begin to escape that and you'll be kept
in a place of perfect peace no matter
where you go or no matter what's going
on around you hallelujah
pastor Stephen I'm filling financial
pressure what should I do you know
what's going you know with all of the
ups ups and downs of the economic world
system and the roller coaster ride that
it's continually on or stocks going up
or stocks going down to all the
volatility all of the uncertainty all of
the fear that's in those markets what
should you do you should if you're
feeling that kind of heat take a chill
pill and find a prosperity scripture and
begin to meditate on it and read it over
and over and over it'll begin to soothe
you it'll begin to comfort you it will
literally begin to feed your spirit with
faith and then it will begin to produce
the peace that you are so desperately
looking for and you're not going to find
it on the news you're not gonna find it
in worldly magazines you're not gonna
find it with New Age gurus you're only
gonna find it in the Word of God and as
you soak the Word of God into your mind
your mind will begin to have that peace
that's what it means to me to keep your
mind on him to keep your mind on him is
to keep your mind on his word what he
said what it promised you what he will
do for you and as you meditate on that
mmm-hmm everything begins to get chilled
out calm and peaceful whew oh the world
may still be going crazy but you're
walking with the Lord you're walking in
Supernatural divine peace and nothing
troubles you and look people notice that
people see that mmm you may be heard me
tell this story one time and it's true
and I've had other situations happen
like this but I walked into work one day
before
was full time in the ministry I walked
into work one day in a very very
stressed out major major stressed out in
fire environment I work for a large
corporation this corporation that you
know multiple stores around the country
but the store that I worked at is where
the main shareholder did all of his
shopping at and this this guy had
millions and millions of dollars I mean
probably several hundred million dollars
worth of stock of shares he had
purchased so that you know he would go
into this store that I worked at that's
where he would shop at so if if things
weren't like not perfect well you know
he'd get on get on the phone and you
know he you know make a make a few calls
and the next thing you know it's total
pandemonium heads would be getting the
roll and stuff like that
so high high-stress environment so I you
know was in that and there was a
standard I had to keep and we would
endeavour to always meet that standard
if not go above it and so I had an
inside sales position and me and another
guy had an inside sales position job and
we were just knocking the ball out of
the park all the time so we were always
cool because why we're not just doing
what we were asked to do we were
actually exceeding that going beyond
that and so you know we were being a
blessing to the company but you know I
walked into work one morning and I had
spent a couple hours in prayer before I
went into work and when I walked through
those doors and those big sliding glass
doors opened up and I walked in it's
like all the workers stopped and looked
at me and the manager that was on duty
he looked at me and out loud said he
said no no Steven you're not supposed to
be like that you're you're not supposed
to be all happy and joyful like that
you're supposed to be stressed out and
miserable like the rest of us are Oh
[Laughter]
glory to God hallelujah and so they were
just in a total like just puzzled how
can you how can you have peace in a
crazy chaotic atmosphere like this
and that's also where God had me mmm
that was my Joseph's prizm that was you
know the Potter first prison that I got
sent to the Egyptian prison that I got
the work in four years to learn that God
can bless you anywhere and God can keep
you stable anywhere no matter where it
is and that's where God had me learned
those certain principles but I had I
will be honest with you there were times
at work where the stress levels were so
high that I was I was looking for a
break and a lot of times during lunch
time by lunch time I'd grab my food and
I would eat my food in like 10 minutes
and then the rest of the other 50
minutes he was just like I'm taking the
biggest chill pill I can because oh it's
been a crazy morning and I know when I
go back after lunch it's going to get
crazier whoo so I was in golfing chill
pills and it sustained me it sustained
me when other guys were just losing it
around me in orbit have total just total
total breakdowns management breakdowns
all I've seen all kinds of stuff why
they had they had no understanding of
how to access that relevant to the
presence of the Lord and how to get into
that peace but I knew but even knowing
even when you know it you still have to
do it
Heavenly Father I pray for those who are
watching today please lift your hands if
you want a seegar if you want to receive
grace to get into that place
Heavenly Father I just ask that you
would release grace because I sense that
there's quite a few of your people that
are watching this listening to this and
they're thanking pastor Steve but I know
what I just just don't do it Heavenly
Father that's what I'm asking that you
would help them with the grace to go and
swallow if the chill pill and to spend
that time with you instead of just
leaning towards the flesh that they
would lean towards you and father I just
know if they'll lean a little you'll
grab their hearts and you'll pull them
in and they'll like it and they'll stay
so father I ask that you would release
the grace release the grace to swallow
the pill and the of your scripture to
take that that pill of your scripture
and
to hang out with you receive your mercy
receive your strength now father we
thank you we thank you in the name of
Jesus amen and amen glory to God
hallelujah
you know there will come a day when sin
is removed from the world sin is removed
from the universe the universe itself
will be rolled up like a garment rolled
up like a scroll there will be a
cleansing fire that goes to the whole
thing will have a new heaven a new
heavens and new earth everything won't
be fresh and clean and we you you know
you'll just be able to stay continually
in the presence of the Lord but right
now is a time when we demonstrate our
love to the Lord we demonstrate our
obedience to the Lord
against all of these obstacles and
adversaries okay so let's continue to go
after the Lord with all of our hearts
and stay in that presence of the Lord
and walk in the victory that God has
intended that we experience on a daily
basis now let's take communion together

and some grape juice

thank you for the bread the juice we
bless it we consecrate it in the name of
Jesus this is now the flesh and the
blood of our Savior father we thank you
that the Lord Jesus did not leave us
helpless but he has always made
provision for us to receive ongoing
victory

stop and swallow the pill to take your
word and let it assimilate into our
spirit and receive faith from it thank

word it is simply impossible

body the Living Word now by faith in
Jesus name let's / take
Heavenly Father thank you for the blood
of Jesus thank you for forgiveness and
cleansing for all of the silly times
when we suddenly refused to respond to
the call of the Spirit and we did our
own thing

endless you know empty TV or went out
did something else when we should have
spent the time with you and it left us
still all empty so father we just thank
you for your mercy and grace and Lord
