chapel welcome to this family Bible study our ready to get back into our father's word here at the chapel we're gonna pick it up today 2nd Samuel chapter 11 verse 14 today we invite you to get your Bible and join us if you'd care to we'd love to have you we're having a blessed day here at the chapel we hope you're having a blessed day where you are in our last lesson we had David messing up big time I mean here the troops were off to war fighting the ammonites David probably found himself with a little bit too much time on his hand a little bit too much power as well I've noticed that power corrupts people they become sociopathic which means that they think that the same rules that apply to everyone else don't apply to them and it's it's a ego thing I believe but anyway David saw a beautiful woman bathing herself in a courtyard below as he was arising from his afternoon nap and he liked what he saw and he sent for they had that of course was Bathsheba she was a married woman married to Uriah who was off fighting with the other soldiers of Israel and they had an adulterous affair and a child was the result which presented them with a problem there that's kind of hard to cover up an adulterous affair when there's a child as a result of that affair and to make matters worse the husband is off at war if he comes back and finds his wife bouncing a baby boy on her knee what's the first thing he's gonna think well she been messing around and that's exactly what happened well in an effort to try and cover the adulterous affair David sent to the front where the soldiers of Israel were fighting against Ammon actually laying siege at the capital city of Reba in Ammon and he sent for Uriah the Hittite on the pretense that he wanted a report on how things were going at the war and then after he was informed of how things were going at the war he sent Uriah said go home and wash your feet and take it easy drop your pack take five and he went into the kitchen and had the chef's got a real nice cut of prime rib to send along home with Uriah what David's intent was was that Uriah would sleep with his wife covering his adulterous affair then if your ayah went back to the war came home found his wife Bathsheba with the bouncing baby boy on her knee things would be alright because he had been home and had slept with her well that didn't work Uriah was a man of honor he said I'm not going to go down and sleep in the comfort of my own bed while Joab my lord the general of the army and my other comrades are sleeping in tents in the field in the war I won't go down and take the pleasures of my own home when my comrades can't do the same well David didn't get up easily he tried again and this time he threw in a banquet feast for Uriah and the wine was flowing he got Uriah drunk and was hoping that that would lessen Uriah sense of duty well David's tried twice twice Uriah refused to go in and sleep with his wife but rather slept with David's servants at the entrance to the court so let's ask that word of wisdom with that introduction father ask you to open eyes open ears this day as we pick it up second samuel chapter 11 verse 14 and it came to pass in the morning that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah Uriah is going to be carrying his own death sentence back to his general Joab David is now desperate a desperate man and remember Uriah was a very loyal soldier to David he was one of David's thirty mighty men who was with David basically from the get-go when they had the two hundred ragtag army Uriah didn't deserve the treatment he's about to receive from David verse 15 and he wrote in the letter saying sent you Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle and retire you from him that he may be smitten and die now this is nothing less than premeditated murder on the part of David he's desperate he's a desperate man and you know if he was successful at this he might be able to hide his adulterous affair from men but who is he not going to be able to hide it from our Heavenly Father of course David's going to pay for what he did but he's telling Joab you send Uriah to where the strongest battles are and then retreat from him leave him there to die basically verse 16 and it came to pass when Joab observed the city that's being rabat the capital of the ammonites that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were now rabbie was a walled city and what they have is archers the valiant men our enemy valiant men their archers that are on the walls again Uriah is a man of honor it doesn't matter what Joab ordered him to do even if he knew that it was certain death which he must certainly knew that going near the wall where the archers are that's like painting a target on Uriah and saying here let the ammonite archers have some target practice on Uriah but even if your aya knew it was certain death he was he was a it's not his first rodeo by any means he's been through it he's a battle-tested warrior and if Joab gave him an order you can bet your iya would carry out that order even knowing it was certain death verse 17 and the men of the city went out and fought with Joab and there fell some of the people of the servants of David and Uriah the Hittite died also David's mission of deceit and coverup conspiracy accomplished or at least he thinks that it's successful David again could hide his actions his infidelities from men but he's not going to hide it from God we find out in chapter 12 what God thinks about David's number one coveting another man's wife number two committing adultery which is punishable by death number three God looks upon what David did - he Araya as if he had held the sword or the bow in his own hands and killed Uriah premeditated murder also punishable by death under God's law verse 18 then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war Joab sent a messenger to communicate to David what had happened Joab continues to the messenger and charged the messenger saying when thou has made an end of telling the matter of the war unto the King here's how I want you to handle this and he's gonna tell him exactly how he thinks David's going to receive what he's communicating to him but he's also instructing the messenger if David gets angry about why did Joab make such a stupid decision to send the soldiers of Israel so close to the wall that here's what I want you to say verse 20 and if so be that the King's wrath arise which under normal circumstances that's what you would expect the King everybody knows you don't send foot soldiers close enough to the wall that they're within reach of the archers on the wall and he say unto thee wherefore approached G so nigh unto the city why did you get send men so close to the wall when you did fight knew you not that they would shoot from the wall everyone knows that archers are on top of the walls of cities and that's why they're so defensible a foot soldier has no chance against these archers 21 and who smote Abimelech the son of rubba chef did not a woman cast a piece of millstone upon him from the wall that he died in they bears why when he nigh the wall then say thou thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also yes David may get angry with me for sending the troops so close to the wall but I want you to follow it with Uriah the Hittite is dead also knowing this would tell David everything that he wanted to hear Jarabe a chef is the same as a bale which is the name that they gave to Gideon one of the judges of Israel it's rather ironic that hundreds of years later after this woman dropped a piece of millstone on to abemolik head that it's still a subject of conversation you see when Abimelech was struck by this millstone he didn't die instantly he was boinked pretty good on the head but he instructed his armor-bearer quick grab my spear and run me through lest it be known that a woman has killed abemolik he didn't want the stigma placed on him that he was killed by a woman several hundred years later it's still on him that he was killed by the woman that dropped a millstone on his head verse 22 so the messenger went and came and showed David all that Joe had had sent him for God has a message for David as well it will be communicated to David by nathan the prophet in chapter 12 but right now this message is from Joab and the messenger said unto David surely the men prevailed against us and came out unto us into the field and we were upon even unto the entering of the gate the ammonites came out of rabaah and were battling with us in the field and then we were chasing them back in to Reba and that's when the archers killed some of his servants verse 24 and the shooter's these are the archers shot from off the wall upon thy servants and some of the king's servants be dead and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also the servant or messenger that Joab sent to David kind of gave the condensed version of what Joab had to say he cut right to the chase and told David Uriah the Hittite is dead also and note it wasn't just Uriah who died needlessly as a result of what David did there were other servants besides Uriah that those men were loyal to David they were soldiers and the armies of Israel and David sent them to certain death as well verse 25 then David said unto the messenger thus shalt thou say unto Joab let not this thing displease thee listen the Hebrew is let not this be evil in your eyes for the sword devoured one as well as another war is a dangerous business make thy battle more strong against the city Reba the capital of Amman and overthrow it and encourage thou him let Joab know that I have not lost confidence in him or his men verse 26 and when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was this is Bathsheba of course she mourned for her husband well there's not much time to mourn you see that there's a baby on the way the normal mourning time among the Hebrews for a spouse was seven days the people of Israel did mourn for example the loss of Moses 30 days in other words someone who was had a leader of the nation it was a longer period also if a parent lost a child the mourning period might be longer than the seven days that it would be for a spouse 27 and when the morning was passed David sent and fetched her to his house and she became his wife and bear him a son but the thing that David had done displeased the Lord it was in the Hebrew evil in the eyes of God and it was evil David's going to have a visit from a prophet and God's going to tell David exactly what God thinks of what he did now understand and the baby has already been born it's almost a year from when Uriah had been killed and if you think David you know he'd been back when what was it verse 25 after David got the message from the messenger David didn't act surprised why because he knew what he had instructed Joab so he was not angry or did the expected reaction that the messenger than the reaction of David that the messenger expected wasn't what one would normally think he was calm about it why because he knew but if you think David is so callous that he didn't have feelings about this you would be incorrect how do I know that because David wrote down his feelings at this particular time make a note of psalm 32 you might want to make a home scientists reading assignment out of Psalm 32 because David puts down his feelings and he is not at all blind to what he has done chapter 12 verse 1 and the Lord sent Nathan unto David Nathan is a prophet of God not to be confused with the son of David Nathan who is yet to be born and he came unto him and said unto Him there were two men in one city the one rich and the other poor David is the rich man in this example Uriah is the poor men the rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds you say animals of the flocks you can you're talking about sheep or goats the herds can either be oxen or cattle but the rich man and this example had hundreds and hundreds of sheep goats cattle and oxen and the exceeding many is put for a huge number verse three but the poor man had nothing saved one little ewe lamb Bathsheba was all that Uriah had which he had brought and nert bought and nourished up and it grew up together with him and with his children it did eat his own meat this word meat in the Hebrew is morsel in other words when there wasn't enough to go around he gave a morsel even to this pet and drank of his own cup and lay in his bosom and wasn't to him as a daughter was unto him as a family member and indeed Bathsheba was Uriah's wife he treasured her because that she was all that he had verse four and there came a traveller unto the rich man a visitor and he spared to take of his own flock he wouldn't take one of the hundreds and hundreds of sheep goats oxen and cattle he had to prepare for the visitor spared not to take of his own flock and of his own herd for to dress for the wayfaring man for the traveler that was come unto Him but took the poor man's lamb and dressed it for the man that was come to him if you weren't raised on a farm you might not know that we're not talking about that he put clothing on this lamb to dress it to dress is to the the process that you go through and preparing an animal to slaughter for eating or to butcher would be probably Oh another word that would most of you would understand but the rich man had hundreds and hundreds of sheep and goats and cattle and oxen and he refused to take one of his own and but he took this pet a family member of the poor man and prepared it for the visitor verse five and David's anger was greatly kindled against the man it was himself he doesn't realize that yet and he said to Nathan as the Lord liveth this is an oath the man that hath done this thing shall surely die David is setting his own sentence and indeed what he has done is worthy of death under the law committing adultery and premeditated murder the punishment for both his capital punishment death verse six and he the rich man shall restore the lamb fourfold because he did this thing and because he had no pity David had no pity on Uriah whatsoever either this fourfold is the law of exodus chapter 22 verse 1 if someone stole a lamb they had to restore it or repay it fourfold for lambs for one lamb stolen in the case of an oxen a bigger animal it was five oxen for one stolen but what David had done was much worse than stealing he stole a person basically Uriah's wife Bathsheba and killed Uriah to cover it up and Nathan said to David thou art the man you are the rich man David thus saith the Lord God of Israel i anointed the king over Israel excuse me Israel and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul you were nothing but a shepherd boy and I took you and made you the most powerful man on the face of the earth at this time king of all 12 tribes of Israel verse 8 and I gave thee thy masters house his throne if you will solve throne and thy masters wives unto thy bosom and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah all twelve tribes and if that had been too little I would moreover have given thee unto the such-and-such things whatever you asked for David I would have given it to you but you weren't happy with what you had you coveted another man's wife wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord to do evil in his sight and which Commandments did David despise number one the tenth commandment you're not to covet your neighbor's wife or anything else that your your neighbor belongs that belongs to your neighbor adultery one of the Ten Commandments murder one of the Ten Commandments thou has killed Uriah this is the Word of God through Nathan the Prophet the Hittite with the sword it's as if the sword were in your own hand or the bow was in your own hand and has taken his wife to be thy wife and has slain him with the sword of the children of him and with the sword or arrows of the enemy by ordering Uriah to the strongest battle and again he was basically putting a target on Uriah that close to the wall in reach of the archers verse 10 now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house because thou hast despised me and has taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife and this doesn't mean that the sword would pass down from generation to generation this is applying to David's immediate house and certainly that came to pass when we get to chapter 13 we'll see em and David's firstborn son rapes one of his half daughters or his half sister one of David's daughters and then her brother full brother Absalom kills Amnon and flees for his life when Absalom came back he led a rebellion that almost cost David his life a danaiah died Absalom died a violent death so the sword did not pass from David's house and these that are being listed here are the punishments that God is putting on David for what he did to Uriah the Hittite verse 11 thus saith the Lord behold I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house and I will take by wives before thine eyes and give them unto thy neighbour and he shall lie with thy wives and the site of the son it's going to be a public thing David you did it in a secrecy and in hiding but your wives and concubines are going to be taken under the full Sun no one will not know about it verse 12 for thou ditched it secretly but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the son everyone to know and realize this is David's punishment for what he did to Uriah 13 and David said unto Nathan I have sinned against the Lord confession and he's not making any excuses at this point he's not saying well I wouldn't have done that if so-and-so hadn't done this or if this would have happened I wouldn't have done that David knows what he's done is wrong and he's ready to take the full punishment whatever God says and Nathan said unto David the Lord also hath put away thy sin thou shalt not die what David did was worthy of death adultery and murder both punishable by capital punishment but God forgave David and you know some people think well you know God shouldn't have forgiven David I know the Epistle of John chapter 3 verse 15 says there is no forgiveness in the flesh for a murderer well God forgave David and we need to be careful not to set ourselves up as a judge over David there is one judge it is the Lord and he chose to forgive David and you know what I'm glad that God has the power to forgive because I sure need that every once in a while and if you were honest with yourself you need that forgiveness every once in a while - not one of us is perfect in the flesh David is no exception can we be disappointed in what David did surely and why am i protecting David and saying that he's innocent and what he did is all right absolutely not what David did was terribly terribly wrong but again what I want you to the lesson I want you to take is that God has the power to forgive and God is always fair don't ever question your Heavenly Father when he makes a decision it's the right thing it's the fair thing verse 14 howbeit because by this deed thou has given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die and many people say well it seems like to me that that baby is paying for David's sins I thought God was fair well you see some souls are just too good to be born in the flesh to live under the the the flesh and I think you know God knows what soul he put in every embryo Jeremiah chapter one verses five and six God knew full well that that was the soul of Jeremiah and that Jeremiah was to be a prophet this that you have given the enemies of the Lord occasion to blaspheme that's talking about the heathen nations or the unbelieving people of Israel that you have given them a reason to ridicule religion and you know you can take a lesson from that we all can take a lesson from that and that is not to be hypocrites you know when we set ourselves up as being righteous members of a church and then we do something that's not so righteous we're hypocrites the enemies of God then look at what we did and say you know why do you say one thing but you do something else your religion should be a reality not just something that you do one day out of the week now whatever day you choose to worship the Lord you should be an everyday Christian verse 15 and Nathan departed unto his house and the Lord struck the child that your eyes wife bear that's Bathsheba unto David and it was very sick again some Souls are so good that God chooses to take them early I think that's the case with those who unfortunately are aborted or are miscarried that God didn't want that soul to have to endure a full life in the flesh well we'll come back and see how this turns out in our next lecture we've got a short message we'll ask you to listen a moment

direct touch heal in Jesus precious name Amen and thank you Father all right let's get to some questions first up today we have Gary in Wyoming I am a 72 year old man when I was 34 my father unexpectedly died I was angry and distraught and I cursed God have I committed the unpardonable sin no you have not committed the unforgivable sin there is only one unforgivable sin and that is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit and it's not possible at this point in time that anyone has committed that sin because what that sin is is for one of God's elect when they're delivered up before the Antichrist to refuse the Holy Spirit to speak through them Luke chapter 12 verses 10 and the following verses cover that repent and ask for forgiveness and you will be forgiven then don't forget to forgive yourself Liana from Tennessee when figuring Passover is the first day of spring day one and then evening of the 14th day to evening of the 15th day is Passover yes you have a right the spring equinox on the Hebrew calendar year now there was a civil year as well that the Hebrews observed but the calendar year began on the spring equinox and the Passover Leviticus chapter 23 covers this but you count from the spring equinox 14 days and then an evening and you see on the Hebrew setup sundown is the beginning of the next day the 15th of Nisan our Abbey but depending on which you want to call it it's both in the Hebrew but that is the Passover the 15th day of Abib Gloria from Nebraska thanks to you and your staff for your teaching about the Bible I've learned so much from your programs we're glad you enjoy learning God's Word was Jesus really Jewish thank you for your help well let's talk first about what the word Jew as it reads in the New Testament of the King James Version Bible means it's a Greek word you Dow use you know I'll get it right you da yokes is how it's pronounced in the Greek it means a resident of Judea or being a member of the tribe of Judah the first being a geographical location that where you reside the second being your heritage if you're born of the tribe of you to Jesus was both Bonnie and Georgia since there are 12 signs of the zodiac and 12 tribes of Israel if I'm a Virgo does that mean I am from the tribe of Zebulun no that would be saying the date you were born determines your ancestry then the date you're born doesn't determine your ancestry that of course is determined by the your ancestors their their what tribe they were a member of you are speaking of astrology which isn't biblical now there are astronomical terms that are biblical and I think what you're talking about is that the the 12 signs of the tribes of Israel as they're listed in numbers chapter 2 3 and 4 that that means you're of that tribe but simply it was a symbol for that particular tribe hope that helped bill in Pennsylvania I'm reading the scripture it's unclear to me if all the races were a part of building the Tower of Babel did God give the certain individual languages to the certain individual races at that time to me that must be the case well in Genesis chapter 11 is where you can read about the Tower of Babel on what's going on there that's about 200 years approximately after the flood of Noah's time and the people decided well in case there's another flood we're going to build this tower of Babylon that we can climb the stairwell the staircase to heaven and escape the flood they were trying to create their own salvation if you will much like the rapturous today try and create their own salvation people with clung tried to cause their own immortality they're gonna save themselves from dying it made God mad and he said to the Angels let's go down and confuse them and that's when multiple languages began to be spoken around the world and it isn't written whether he gave one language to one race another language to another race I would guess that it was more of where you lived or resided geographically that you spoke a particular religion much like it is today in Germany you have many different nationalities of people most of them speak German same in if you go down in New Mexico they speak Spanish whether you're Caucasian or or Hispanic Leola in New Jersey I have a question after David and Jonathan departed in 1st Samuel chapter 20 verse 42 as good friends did they ever meet again in later chapters thank you and God bless you and your ministry and also your staff yes as a matter of fact when David was hiding in the wilderness of Ziff Jonathan came to him and strengthened him he he told him I know you're gonna be the king of Israel and I know things are hard now but strengthen yourself in the Lord David learned to take refuge in his Lord they did meet again in First Samuel chapter 23 or 16 and the following verses but that was the last time that Jonathan and David would meet face to face Erik and Idaho questioned on God's elect don't the elect have to be the elect have to be not only living in the flesh but also living in your rue salam where the son of perdition is standing in the temple claiming to be God your thoughts please well you're right on one of them but wrong on the other God's election must be in the flesh those he did promise that there would always be a remnant and those who have passed before the Antichrist appears probably of the remnant that remnant was to keep the truth alive generation to generation now as far as being in Jerusalem that's not a requirement you know you can help a commercial flight from almost anywhere in the world I would imagine and be in Jerusalem within 24 hours Satan is going to have a lot more sophisticated in a efficient air transportation than our commercial airlines today I can assure you transportation no problem louis and we don't know where lewis is from thank you for your teaching you're welcome pastor Marie can you explain the shortening of time God shortened Satan's stay on earth was it seven years that he shortened to three and a half years then to five months if so could you tell me where I could find it how do we know it was to five months is there any other place in the Bible where it says it was shortened well Matthew chapter 24 verse 22 Matthew 24 if you don't know is where you find the events that lead up to the return of Jesus Christ and the second advent in other words and Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:22 that the time has been shortened for the elects sake and of course the time was seven years you were right there of tribulation was shortened to three and a half years Revelation chapter 13 verse 5 the second beast has 42 months which is excuse me three and a half years but then it was shortened to five months in Revelation chapter 9 the season of the locust May through September five months is how you determine that David in California First Epistle of John 3:15 since both of the above I'm sorry you were listed two scriptures here I missed Deuteronomy 1911 through 13 and Deuteronomy 22 25 the first covers what you do if someone commits premeditated murder the second what you do to someone who rapes someone and you say First Epistle of John 3:15 since both of the above the one who commits premeditated murder and rapes are death penalties do you teach that Deuteronomy 20 to 25 does this garbage in your opinion still have eternal life my opinion is no the county I live in has started putting this trash in our neighborhoods even out here in the country I guess it keeps the trash away from our schools okay well I'm sorry they're putting trash and garbage back out into society you know if we'd follow God's law people would see what happens to murderers and rapists in other words if we carried out God's instructions for capital punishment and these things would cease to happen among you as it states in God's Word but you know this first John Epistle of John 3:15 we referred to in today's lecture which states a murderer can have no salvation in the flesh why because we're to send them to our Heavenly Father and that's when their real trial comes to pass why because the person they murdered is going to be there and our heavenly father is going to be there that's when the real trial occurs Nancy in Texas my question would you please explain this passage for me Philippians chapter 2 verse 12 and it states out there work out your own salvation with fear and trembling and of course there is only one salvation one way to salvation that way is Jesus Christ and we've kind of talked a little bit ago about the Tower of Babylon and people trying to create their own salvation this work out your own salvation doesn't mean create your own salvation it means read God's Word consider your ways and accept God's salvation which is Jesus Christ Yeshua yah have a Savior Margaret in Missouri where in the bible does it say God was married and divorced okay married you'll find in Ezekiel chapter 16 verse 8 where it states that God spread his skirt over Jebus as it was originally called later Jerusalem he married Jerusalem his favorite place in the whole universe the fact that our Heavenly Father is divorced Jeremiah chapter 3 verse 8 God gave a bill of divorcement to backsliding Israel God divorced Israel Audrey from Arkansas I am new to the sacred name Yahweh and Yahshua and I was told to say Jesus God and Lord I am taking his name am i taking his name in vain what is your answer on this well you're not taking his name in vain our Heavenly Father is very intelligent he knows your heart he knows your mind and is it good that you know the sacred name I think it is and that's the reason we use the sacred name here at Shepherds Chapel to the length we do but you also hear us say Lord or God when we're talking about our heavenly father father is another name so there are more than one name one pronoun that you can call your heavenly father you follow with the second question about the seventh-day Sabbath what about six days to work and rest on the Sabbath it appears that you all don't observe the Sabbath while we observed the Sabbath here at Shepherds Chapel but we also know God's Word well enough to know that Hebrews chapter four tells us that we put our rest which is what Sabbath means in Jesus Christ and he became our highest Sabbath first Corinthians chapter five verses six and seven he became our Passover the highest Sabbath of the year so Jesus is your Sabbath here at shepherd's chapel we Sabbath every day we put our rest in Jesus every day dawn in North Carolina who raised Jesus Joseph or someone else there just isn't much mentioned about Jesus's younger days as a child you know that's thought that Joseph probably passed away when Jesus was fairly young it's not biblical but historically it can be documented that Jesus made several journeys to England Glastonbury England we offer a book here at the chapel called traditions of Glastonbury of course he made those trips with Mary's uncle who was also named Joseph but that was joseph of arimathea that book traditions of Glastonbury is book number six and we asked a twelve dollar donation it is available in our library it also covers that period of time when Jesus was not much written about him as you stated excuse me McKinley in Texas obed-edom who were they and what was their purpose well I don't know you what you mean who were they there are two people that were in God's Word and they're thought to be two different persons the first one that you'll find is a Levite described as a get tight in 2nd samuel chapter 6 verse 10 and 11 we just covered that when David was trying to bring the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem and who's a stretched forth his hand and tried to study the ark when they was about to fall off in the new cart they put it on they shouldn't have been moving it on a cart to be carried on staves but God struck who's a dead and they took the ark to the house of obed-edom for a period of I believe it was three months and the house of obed-edom was blessed the second obeah Edom is the son of Jeddah 'then who's listed in 1st chronicles chapter 16 verse 38 and he's of one of the major families of the Levites called Marah writes that you know this is a good reason for everyone to have a Smith's Bible dictionary back in Bible times there were often just one named Joseph well how many joseph´s are there in God's Word well there's a bunch of them and if you had a Smith's Bible dictionary it would list each one of them for you and give you Scripture in God's Word where you would find it it's a very inexpensive reference work I think we asked for a 15 dollar donation it's book number 15 and it also is available in our library but it's just a wealth of information in the Smith's Bible dictionary I've used it a lot in keeping all of your people with the same first name separated out Jane in West Virginia thank you for your preaching and opening my eyes well God's Word and God
