John Kilpatrick - Take Another Lap

here today cut me down just a little bit I'm glad I could be here today for both the morning services I want to just go ahead and talk about that real quickly if I may next service this morning I'm going to be speaking some prophetic declarations these are not anything that I have written down or anything like that but I'm gonna be speaking some prophetic declaration it's not like prophetic words but prophetic declarations over you as the congregation and I'd really like you to be here to hear it it's gonna be powerful I've only done this one of the place and it was my church back home we just did it about two weeks ago and it really turned out powerful I'm gonna be dealing with different levels of prophecy not Bible prophecy but prophetic words I think you'll really find it interesting it's I think an eye-opener and I believe it'll really bless you cut me down just a little bit if you will especially up here one of the things I want to talk about is I have to leave here we had a dear pastor friend of mine died in New Jersey he passes the church up there great Church been there for many years he founded it 38 years ago he just passed away suddenly his wife went home and found him he preached both services at his church last Sunday and so we have his funeral tomorrow in New Jersey and so we're going up there for that but that's the reason I can't be here tonight love brother Gary love brother Cecil Wiggins families like our own family we appreciate the opportunity to come always look forward to coming here there's not many places that I leave my church for her to come and preach on a Sunday but this is one of the ones I'll always do that because I love these men all right today I want to bring you a message I'm going to do this as quickly as I can I just finished a series at home and if you want to when you get through if you want to pick it up on the way out it's called what we actually title that Tony that series promise to provision that's what I'm going to be preaching here this morning we entitled a promise to provision I want to talk to you about being tested I didn't say being tempted I said being tested one of the things I have noticed is that God usually will test the person before he's about to increase a person God will usually test a church before he usually increases the church so I want to talk to you about being tested there's a passage of Scripture and chronicles that I want to read is my text today it'll be on the screen it's gonna be in the King James Version this is actually what it says in the King James Version don't know if you've ever noticed this or not but it says in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon who sent him to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land God left him look at that word God left him to try him that he might know all that was in his heart this is an interesting scripture when I first read this a number of years ago I was sort of taken by surprise let's look at that one more time I want you to let that resonate your spirit it said in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon who sent unto him to inquire the wonder that was done in the land God left him just leave that on the screen for a moment if God is omnipresent how can God go anywhere if he's everywhere he's omnipresent how can God leave somebody I'll tell you how God usually will if he wants to know what's in your heart he won't come to you whenever you feel close to God to test you whenever you feel chill bumps you feel close to the Lord you feel power you feel anointing you're not being tested you're being used then for God but if you go through a place like I have been through many times where you don't feel the Lord and you don't feel his presence and you haven't felt it for some time that's not a negative thing that's not a negative thing it's a positive thing now here's what I want to share with you if God can't go anywhere he's omnipresent how does he leave you here's how he does it he withdraws your consciousness of his presence he withdraws your consciousness of his presence so that you can't sense him he's there but you can't sense him and the reason why he does that is because he wants you to see what you will do when you don't feel that he's near it said that God left him why to try him to try him to test him to try them that God might know all that was in his heart how is God gonna know what's in your heart and unless he tests that so with that established I want to press on today and I want to I want to give you some Bible examples of what I'm talking about whenever you feel that God has left you it's important to know that you're going to come up on those times when you don't feel the Lord and it's not a negative thing it is a time when you are being surveilled you are under surveillance there are times when God withdraws the consciousness of his presence and he's still there but we don't feel like he's there but he is that's when you're being tested let me jump over right quick and I want to give you these four p's and then I'll take off from there I came in the 70s to understand a formula that has ruled basically ruined my life since the 70s and they all begin with peas if you want to after the service you can get a copy of the whole series it's all back there and really like to encourage you to get it I'll only be able to cover a portion of it this morning if you would I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't make notes and just pick up the copies because I'm gonna be going so fast you won't be able to give it justice but there's four peas that I learned a long time ago and it has basically ruled my life everything that I do I always think about these four peas I want to see if it affects you the same way it did mean number one everything that God has for you for a church for your family for whatever he always gives it a promise form everything God has is given a promise form after you received the promise then the Lord will come back and he will after you get that and you ascertain that and assimilate that promise you rejoice thank you lord thank you lord then he'll come back when you calm down a little bit and he'll teach you how the promise works that's called the principle the principle teaches you how the promise works after you get the principle and you understand how the promise is gonna work then look at me everybody I know you make a note so don't do that please look at me then he's going to allow you to go through a problem when you go through the problem that's going to be when he's going to withdraw your consciousness of his presence to see how you're going to behave to see whether or not he can increase you and bring you into your provision okay here it is promise principle problem provision the four PS let me give you in a good example I'm gonna walk you through some things let's go to the law first mention let's go back to the book of Genesis in the book of Genesis God made Adam and Eve he made man and woman when he put him in the Garden the Lord actually called Adam his son my son Adam now that is not to say that he replaced Jesus because Jesus is the only begotten son of the Lord but Adam was his son he made him he created Eve from Adam God wanted to family and so he made them pre moral agents he walked out in the garden with them Lord wood materialized in the cool of the evening he would materialize so they could see him but he was always there always omnipresent and so the Lord would materialize in the cool of the evening he had walked with them teach them talk with them let them know his heart let them know how everything worked God loved Adam because Adam was the highest order of Homo Sapien he was the highest order of intelligence before the fall when God brought the animals before Adam he had no training had no books had no universities he just knew he did it by the spirit his spirit was unpolluted and untainted he named them by his spirit the human spirit he knew the zoological names he knew the biological names of all the plans highest order of Homo Sapien if he looked into the face of Adam he was chiseled he had character in his face he had integrity his eyes were clear he was pleasant he was approachable he was like the Lord and then Eve God made her beautiful gave her to him as a gift and they too were one flesh one day the Lord walked out in the Garden of Eden and he said to Adam and Eve he said I'm going to give you a promise here's the promise he said be fruitful multiply replenish the earth that's the promise the principle is don't touch that tree that's the principle don't touch that tree don't eat of it don't have anything to do with all the trees in the garden they're all yours but this one right here and what God was saying is this is a test I'm pointing this out to you as long as I'm in the garden with you this is never gonna be a problem for you but when you don't see me and when I haven't materialized of the cool of the evening you're going to be tested and when you're tested don't touch it okay so then after God gave them the principle don't touch this tree don't know how long it was but somewhere in the near our distant future we don't know how long because Adam lived 930 years somewhere in the process after God taught the principle don't touch this tree it could have been days hours weeks months years decades or millennia our centuries don't know but one day God had not yet come down in the cool of the evening they were in the garden here comes this serpent and this serpent was beautiful he was not yet cursed he didn't crawl in his belly he talked and could communicate and he came in and began to try to seduce Adam and Eve did seduce Eve Bible says Adam sinned wilfully knowing that she'd be saved through childbirth so he seduced Eve and a lot of people thinks that he seduced Eve and Adam was nowhere around but the Bible says he was right there with her and the Bible says she gave to her husband with her it citizen scriptures listen to this I don't believe that Eve sinned first I believe Adamson first why because God had given Adam authority over everything that flew everything that swam everything that walked everything that crawled God gave Adam authority over everything on the earth he was the under Lord of the earth and so whenever that serpent began talking to Eve about God and making casting aspersions against Jehovah their Lord Adam stood right there and kept his mouth shut it was a sin of omission and he kept his mouth shut he never said hey shut up you're talking against my Lord and you're talking against my father but they allowed the serpent to plant his poison and when the serpent was tempting them now listen to this when the serpent was tempting them God could have stepped out at any moment and materialized and he could have said Adam Eve wait a minute wait a minute remember what I told you don't touch this tree don't pay attention to the serpent don't pay attention to him no God never uttered a word why because they're being tested and sure enough they reached out and they took their forbidden fruit Eve did she / took of it gave it to her husband with her now listen to this as soon as they've been into that forbidden fruit death was planted on them and here's what the devil was after here's what you need to understand about a temptation when the devil Timms he's not after one thing one victory he's after multiple victories because after he planted death in her and after he planted death in Adam and he particularly forbidden fruit then the devil is trying to maneuver them over to the Tree of Life this was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil now he's trying to maneuver them over to the Tree of Life what is the Tree of Life the Bible says if they would have eaten of the tree of life they would have never been able to died he said lest they eat and live forever so you know what the devil was after after Adam and Eve particular the tree of life and death said in if they would have ate of the tree of life that would have exacerbated that spirit of death and that had never been able to have died in a damned condition so it's a blessing for a man to be able to die it's a blessing to be able to lay down give up the ghost lay this body down which were all born under curse and go pick up our glorified body and live with the Lord but if if the devil would have had his way the Lord put angels there with flaming swords at the Tree of Life to protect the Tree of Life lest they would have eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then ate of the tree of the knowledge of the Tree of Life they would have never been able to have died that had been damned forever so God put angels there with flaming swords and he drove Adam and Eve from the garden now let me back up just a minute ask your question was anything wrong with the promise no did God lie no he said be fruitful multiply replenish the earth that was his promise the principle was don't touch this tree the problem was in the problem they fell the problem and they missed their provision and I want to ask you this question I wonder how many times God has made us promises wonder how many times God has made the church promises the work of God your family you as an individual made you promises you said thank you Lord and then after a while he comes back and he says here's how it works here's how it works this is the principle you got it yes thank you lord then when you go through your period of temptation and God withdraws your consciousness of his presence and you can't sense him anywhere around and you're really being tested I have seen so many people have good promises in their lives and in their pockets that God made to them prophecies written down on the leaf of their Bible yeah I say that's saith the Lord I wonder since this this and this and this nothing wrong with the promise but when you get the problem you slug the down you can't pass the test you won't pass the test you won't go through that time of testing and you capitulate you get in and you miss the provision let me show you what I'm talking about let's look at Jesus for a minute I'm going from the Old Testament now and I could take you through Abraham I could take you to David I could take you to Joseph and I may do it before I'm finished here today but I could take you to Elisha I could take you right on down it works the same for everybody it works the same for me and it works the same for you notice what Jesus the Bible says about Jesus when all the people were baptized it came to pass Jesus being baptized and praying the heaven was open Holy Ghost ascended in a body shaped like a devil funny but a voice came from heaven promised this is my son that was the father putting his stamp of approval on the man being baptized in the Jordan by his cousin John this is my son thou art my beloved son I am well pleased now look at this interesting Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan after he was baptized and was led by the spirit into the wilderness look this way everybody was led by the spirit to be tested listen God had only one son without sin but he never had a son without testing God had one son without sin but he never had a son without testing Adam was tested and so was Jesus I will show you how his testing came the Bible says that go back to that verse 1 it said he he was led by the spirit now look this was no accident you got to understand sometime when you don't feel the presence of the Lord when you don't sense that God is near you got to understand it's no accident what you're going through this is no accident you're being tested I have been tested many times if God ever gets ready to step me up in my stature as a minister in my leadership as a leader in the kingdom of God if he ever gets ready to step me up he tests me every step of the way and he'll test you every step of the way now what's this verse 2 says and being forty days tempted to the devil and those days he did he nothing when he ended he was hungry now let's talk about that for a minute you can live off your own fat for sure for 40 days I could probably live off mine for 120 days but Jesus lived off of a person that's fasting can live off their own fat for about 40 days and then it begins to burn muscle that's when starvation sets in when your body quits feeding off of the fat and it starts feeding off the muscle that's when starvation sets in and so the Bible says after 40 days he did eat nothing and when the forty days were ended he hungered now he's hungry listen the devil knows exactly when to hit you he won't hit you when you're full he's gonna hit you when you're hungry are you listening to me what's this the devil said unto Him if you be the Son of God I'm not going to go through all this because everybody knows this but let me just explain it to you the devil says if you be the Son of God take these stones turn them into bread he took him up to the pinnacle of the temple how he did that I don't know did you wrap his arm around Jesus and fly up to the pinnacle temple but the Bible says he took him did he flop to the pinnacle of the temple and said look at all this if you'll fall down and worship me I'll give you all this showed him all the kingdoms of the world he tempted him and the Bible says that Jesus came back at the devil every time he was principled the temptation came the tests came the promise was this is my boy I'm pleased with him the tests came stay in the word respond in a principled way don't respond in your emotions look this way everybody listen to what I'm gonna tell you Jesus was never a reactionary he was always a responder you know part of our problem is that we are reactionaries somebody slaps us on the cheek you know we're gonna knock him out if we can that's reaction they slap Jesus on the cheek he'd turn the other cheek he responded he was principled he didn't fly off the handle he didn't curse he didn't get revenge he was in control and so the Bible says that Jesus went through all these temptations he was principled this is my son he was principled he stayed the confines of the word and when the devil got through tempting him look at this when the devil got through tempting Jesus it said Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee and look at this this is so interesting there were not a fame of him look at me everybody listen to what I'm going to tell you how many people have gotten fame before they were tested how many people have gotten Fame before they were put through gods crucial to see whether or not they could handle the fame you see many movie stars they become famous where are they ten years later where are they 25 years later many of them are on food stamps many of them are busted the album don't look anything like they used to look the wilt is gone the rolls royces ago the mansions are gone why because they came into Fame before they were tested to see whether or not they could bear the fame what happens to preachers what happens to churches a preacher comes in he's gifted he's articulate he's handsome he preaches the church starts glowing he builds a mega church all of a sudden fame he's known around the world he's been through some things but he's never really been tested God's anointed him God's blessed him but when he goes through his time of testing he falls a woman another man pornography alcohol whatever it may be money falls here's the classic case in the Bible where the Bible says that Jesus son was proclaimed this is my boy who takes him in the wilderness was lit by the spirit there he's got to be tested he was tested as soon as he was tested and he passed it with flying colors the Bible said of Fame went out of him look at it again it says a Fame went out from him throughout all the region round about now look at this this is so interesting now Fame comes and when Fame comes that's going to be the drawing power for his ministry how many people have had a ministry but they've never been tested how many churches have had prophetic words and God has made all kind of promises to the church but yet in the time of testing the church folded like a clam and everybody just went their separate ways the church is up for sale what happened when the fame came they couldn't take it why where the fame came they hadn't been tested in order to bring about the fame resting on the shoulders so when the fame came to Jesus he took it in stride he bore up under it and the Spirit of God could use him and work through him because no matter how famous he gets he's principled he's submitted to the Father and so in the time of testing Jesus passed it with flying colors in the time of Adam and Eve's testing the first Adam they found it with flying colors and that's why Jesus is known as the last Adam let me give you this quickly I got a hurry let me cover Israel I won't be able to go any further I don't think but let me cover Israel right correct Bible talks about Jesus that the Bible talks about the wilderness it talks about how Israel went through the wilderness and the Bible talks about Jesus how Jesus went through the wilderness also it would be on the screen in just a moment we're gonna talk about the wilderness when Jesus went when Israel went through the wilderness in Deuteronomy 6 that shall be when the Lord has brought you into the land which he sware to your father's neighbor ahem Isaac and Jacob to give you great goodly cities which you built not houses full of all good things which you feel not Wells dig which you didn't dig vineyards and olive trees which you didn't plant when you will eat and have been full then beware lest you forget the Lord which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage now let me explain that to you God found Israel in Egypt I believe when they came out under the blood I believe that was a strong salvation message everybody listen to what I'm going to tell you and I don't you to forget what I'm going to tell you I'm not one that winks at sin but neither am i one that believes that any little thing you do is going jeopardize your soul I don't wink it's in I'm strong against and I preach against sin but when God brought Israel out from under the lamb the blood of the lamb on the doorpost he brought him out under the blood that was a sign a type and a sign a shadow of salvation when he got him to the Red Sea he brought him through the seed that was a type of water baptism when he got him out on the other side of the Red Sea into the wilderness he led them with a pillar of fire and a pillar of cloud that is the leadership of the Holy Spirit now God is going to lead them into the Promised Land but before he can he's got to test them and he puts them in the wilderness Oh everybody listen to what I'm going to tell you don't forget this Jesus went in the same wilderness Israel went into it took Israel 40 years to get through it it took Jesus 40 days to get through it do you know why Jesus understood the wilderness Jesus understood being tested Jesus did not get depressed he did not feel rejected he did not feel abandoned he knew that his father was still with if he knew I'm just going through a test I'm gonna pass this test the fame is on a spread I'm gonna have a ministry he understood that he went through the same wilderness Israel went through in 40 days it took Israel forty years listen here's what I'm trying to tell you you can extend your stay in your problem if you don't understand your problem let me show you what I'm talking about in the wilderness with Israel they had three options just like you've got three options they had three options what was the option when God led Israel into the wilderness now they're being led by a pillar of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day remember they came out under the blood that was salvation that came through the Red Sea that was a type of baptism they were now led by the spirit in the wilderness that meant the Holy Spirit was with him working with them and I can't tell you that Israel died and went to hell and that wilderness I believe God was displeased with them and I believe that they were stiff-necked against the Lord but I can't tell you that they died went to hell I can't tell you that I don't know I know he was he was just pleased with them but I do know that coming out of that blood is powerful and I do know going through that water is powerful but how many he knows you can live on this earth and miss the Lord and fail the Lord in your earthly life but God still can secure your soul and you say brother Kilpatrick do you believe once saved always say no I don't I'm just telling you I'm paying you a picture of what the Bible I'm preaching the Bible to you and I can't tell you that they went to hell but I will tell you this they had three options you've got three options when they got on the other side of the Jordan they entered into the wilderness and so one of the first things the Lord did when he got him on the other side and they've now Pharaoh and his armies been floating upside down in the Red Sea they took their timbrels and they begin to dance and they began to sing the Lord our God our strength our song has now become our victory and they just rejoiced because Pharaoh and his army was dead god help them and as soon as God helped him they got him in the wilderness now in the Red Sea has served its purpose is destroyed Pharaoh it's happening it actually destroyed the greatest nation on the face of the earth at that time six hundred chariots Pharaoh Israel was dark agent was decimated because of God's people God decimated a whole and freeze people and they rejoice for a few days and then God brings them to the waters of Mara and when they get to the waters of Mara they had an attitude and God said how's the water boys it's better underwater Ameri means bitterness dinner and they spit and they sputtered and they murmur and they complain and here's what the Lord basically said I'm adding this in here he didn't actually say it I'm just saying this the lord said okay the waters bitter got a little attitude problem take another lap they took another layout they came back to the water Samara how's the water better God said take another lap now he actually if you read the Bible the Lord actually had good water for them but he gave them the bad water first to show them their attitude you know what sometime a test is not for God's information as much as it is your information I remember one time was pastor in Brownsville fasting it was in the 80s 90s I guess 80s I guess the eighties and I'd been fasting for like I think 13 days if I'm not mistaken I can't remember it's about 13 days I think and I told Brenda I said now I'm gonna be faster than honey you just night time you cook for the boys and I'm not gonna be eating at night and I told Rose my secretary I said when it comes time to eat they'll think I'm going to lunch I'm just gonna go around the Miss Florida for him down by the bay and I'm gonna sit there and read my Bible and pray she's okay so I've been doing this about thirteen days one day I left the office at Brownsville pulled out on mobile highway when I got out on mobile highway there was a car coming off a mobile highway and there was a pawn shop sitting right here and the road went there's a little off road went behind the pawn shop and then mobile highway was this way when I pulled up here to the stop sign this guy coming down mobile highway I didn't put on this blame and so whenever I got up there to where mobile highway was I pulled out and he just swerved pulled over right in front of me well when he did he shot me a bird y'all know what that is don't you here at the mansion temple he shot me a bad sign well when he did I got right in behind him I was right on his bumper my nostrils were flaring I was mad as a hatter and I was chasing him I was right on his bumper and I dare you do that to me Killians think you are shooting me a bird man and I mean my nostrils are flaring and I'm 13 days in a fast I heard the Holy Spirit say what you gonna do when you catch him I said I will beat the snot out of him and then I I let my foot off the brake off the gas and I put brakes on pulled off side to road and I said Lord I said I'm so sorry here's what I said I said Lord I didn't know that was in there you know what the Lord said I did and I allowed it to show you in your time of fasting and praying and trying to draw near to me if you're gonna draw near to me this has got to go so the Lord said to Israel how's the water better go again he actually had good water for him but he was testing him with a bad first to see what their attitude was and they finally had to make laps until finally somebody says hey I've seen that fence post before I've seen that beer-can before my god we're going in circles and finally there's somebody waiting they wake up and this Lord said how's the water oh thank you for the water listen until you get rid of a murmuring spirit you're gonna go in circles until you get rid of a complaining and a murmuring spirit fault-finding spirit you're gonna go in circles you're gonna take another lap you may possibly take another lap your whole life in circles how's the water yeah I've learned now by preaching this when the Lords of the House of what I said oh it smells like rotten eggs but thank you for the water amen and then after they begin to take another lap here's what I began to figure out in life you're either gonna go circular or are you gonna go linear Jesus went linear and he crossed that same wilderness in 40 days Israel was in the same wilderness and because they could not get their attitude right they wondered for 40 years the second option I'll be through five minutes the second option is your bones will bleach what does that mean does that mean you're going to hell it's possible I guess but I don't know that that's the case because the Bible said that everybody over the age of 20 except Joshua and Caleb died in the wilderness and the Lord said this he said in Hebrews they could not come into my wrath in other words he wouldn't let him come into his promised land houses here's the promise houses you didn't build wells you didn't dig vineyards you didn't plant magnesium our iron or silver gold all this is yours land of floating milk money this is yours this you promised principal keep your attitude right worship me as God keep your attitude right you're the servant I'm the master I know best you're subservient to me so the second option is your bones can bleach you know what it's like you pull your pockets out pull the promises full of promises full of promises everything that God does in your life is in promise form like the song we used to sing in children's church when I was a kid every promise in the book is mine every chapter every verse every line everything that God does in your life he starts with a promise and they had promises houses you didn't build wells you didn't dig vineyards you didn't plant all this stuff land a floor milk and honey promises promises principle when I tested you you did nothing but mama for 40 years you went in circles for 40 years now your bones are in the bleach I'm gonna bring your kids in you said I couldn't bring your kids and I'm gonna bring your kids in but your bones are gonna bleach in the wilderness did they go to hell I don't know but I will say this they never made it into their promise and there was nothing wrong with the promise the promise was valid it was from God but they could not go in and their bones bleached the third option in the wilderness is stand and enter third option stand and enter what do I mean by that only to that left Egypt with Moses above the age of twenty was Joshua and Caleb you know what the Bible says about them out of two and a half million people out of two and a half million people only to discipline their attitude and after 40 years now they're 80 years old Joshua and Caleb said give me this land and they're 80 years old they still got that indomitable spirit about them give me this look we can do it Moses we can do it I don't care for orange I'd say we can do it now Moses is dead Joshua's leading the children of Israel Joshua looks over at Caleb those two that had that indomitable spirit we can do this don't care what the obstacles are God's with us I believe the promises are valid and they entered they stood in the answers here's what I want to close it today I want to ask you this question are you being tested are you being tested I can't answer that for you I can only answer that for myself but here's what I learned I came in contact with this information the Lord gave me in the 70s and ever since that time I've never let that formula ever leave my mind not one day of my life that doesn't mean I'm perfect no it means I have to repent like everybody else but I always can tell when I'm being tested because the Lord doesn't just remove your his consciousness of your presence like that the Lord will gradually remove your consciousness of his presence so that you can't sense him and then all of a sudden it may go on for a day it may go for a month it may go for six months it may go for a year but as surely as the lord withdraws your consciousness of his presence he will restore it but here's the question I want to ask you when he restores it will you be able to take the fame after you pass the test keep an humble spirit and God will bless you amen god bless you Pastor thank you man if you would please stand with me this morning what a word from God we the church I know many times fill battle-tested and you've gone through things in your life and even maybe right now you're going through something in your life and and you you many times we find ourself bending towards the wrong things and it's my prayer that let the Lord find me always bent towards him and a humble and a meek fashion that no matter what comes at me no matter what calamity or trial or tribulation no matter what the enemy sets in front of you no matter what darts he shoots at you let the Lord always find your posture bent towards him with every head bowed and every eye is closed in this place if you're in this house and you say pastor before we conclude this service just want to make sure that I'm right with the Lord and if you have a spiritual need in your life maybe you're not saved here this morning maybe you've fallen away from the Lord and you just need to reconnect with the Lord you just have a spiritual struggle going on and maybe there's a testing that's turned into a temptation maybe you've allowed temptation in your life to get to a place where you're falling to that temptation and you just want the Lord right now to come in and touch you and you have that need I want you just to raise your hand across this place just signify that if you have any type of spiritual need well the hand lifted high that God can see your hand [Music] amen I want everyone to repeat this prayer after me say dear Jesus so thankful this morning that you're my life changer and I ask you to take over every area of my life as I submit to you I thank you this morning that you were my Lord my shepherd from this day forward I never want to be the same in Jesus name Amen I want you to lift your hands this morning I want to remind you before you leave if this word has been sewn into your life please come and drop and offering a special offering envelope in these baskets or see an usher as you're leaving that we sew into this word if it's been a blessing in your life Heavenly Father I bless this room God's so thankful today for the rich word the absolute truth so many opinions in our world God send people astray cause people Lord to turn and walk away from the faith though in the white town caused people to doubt themselves has been security but God there's nothing like the richness of the absolute truth of your word that is true that is stable God I pray today with that being the bar the measuring stick of our life I pray as we look and reflect that you give us life change help us Lord to go out and be world changers God in our own way I pray that you would encourage this people as we go to life groups and Sunday School classes are going our way throughout the week protect us and keep us safe as we go we love you Lord and we look to you and thank you today for all that you do in Jesus name Amen and even God bless you as you're dismissed to Sunday School you [Music]
