[Music] gigi [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] gij so [Music] [Music] do [Music] do [Music] so [Music] oh we're about to start morning to everybody online if you're logging in for the first time morning to you first second third time we welcome you anyone that's new so far here uh we welcome you as well is it all right to get everyone to stand up is it all right we're gonna do something different um before we start worship today i just want to give a word of encouragement um and with everyone standing it just lets me know that we're focused um so god laid on my heart a word probably four weeks ago that i gave to the church i was quite emotional with it but the word came out same way [Music] and it was about us breaking the box and letting go before god before i gave that word we heard another prophetic word from a sister about sometimes we don't feel worthy and then we're silent with our worship but we don't want to release it because we come into the church building and we don't feel worthy to give god anything but after that word god showed me the next two weeks or three weeks mk was moderating i don't know if you remember about mk was moderating and on that week i heard god say breakthrough is coming so i got really excited i was like yes breakthrough's coming i'm ready and it never really got to that point in that service so i was confused i took it back to prayer i didn't share a word that week i said god you said breakthrough is coming when is it coming the following week i was in worship again and god showed me a picture of a waterfall and this waterfall was pouring down into the sanctuary and it was crashing down hard and it was hitting people the water was hitting people but it was like the people wasn't receptive of this waterfall and i was didn't understand it at the time so i never shared it because why would i share a picture that i don't really understand so i took it to prayer again the following week i came and god showed me the same waterfall but when it hit the floor it wasn't the same it was actually going into people's mouths and people had their hands out open and it was just going into people's mouths peacefully so i had these two pictures and i didn't understand these two pictures i never shared it on the sunday i went home and i prayed about it and i said god you've said one week that we need to let everything go you said the next week that there's going to be breakthrough you said the next week that uh people are not receptive and the waterfall was um portraying his holy spirit a representation of his holy spirit now if we come to church and we're thinking to ourselves we're not worthy of giving god praise and we don't want to give god everything we're actually blocking his holy spirit we're actually not allowing his holy spirit to flow the way that he would want it to flow so then the next picture of the second waterfall where the water was going into people's mouths it was a picture of receptive people a picture of people that let go and have their arms out saying god it's not about me it's about you and allowing his spirit to flow so when the water was coming down the water was just flowing into people's mouths and it was different it was different so i prayed about that as well and god reminded me of a film that i watched i'm not too sure if you know the film but it's it's about uh a man he has to be noah evan baxter his name was in the film um evan almighty that's the film and in the film god tells him build a boat there's going to be a rain pouring and he doesn't understand it but he has to do it anyway by faith and in the film there's a dam i don't know if you guys remember there's a dam and they they cut corners with the building regulations and god reminded god showed me that when we are blocking his spirit and the flow of his spirit we're actually being the damn we're holding our hands up and saying god just just let a little trickle come over the side just let a little experience and a little encounter happen over there but i'm not really feeling it so i'm gonna be the damn god told me to share with you today and to encourage you actually to pray and have a mindset of i'm gonna break the damn i'm not gonna be a damn in god's presence i'm gonna allow that waterfall to flow and be receptive of the move of god because it's better for us to be the second picture than the first because i don't know what it's going to look like if you quench the spirit so many times and you get hit by that waterfall it's much better to be the second pitcher to be receptive in it to allow god's spirit to flow so with that being said i just want to welcome up the worship team and as we worship just let go just have that picture on your mind that is much better to be the second waterford than the first in jesus name amen hallelujah yeah hallelujah to your name jesus yes lord we want to receive you today lord we are open before you lord any blockage that is standing in the way lord remove it in the name of jesus we are here to experience the atmosphere of heaven lord we pray that your presence would just pour down on us oh god because we are ready to

holy spirit come holy spirit come yes [Music] the word says that when we lift the blessings when the praises go up the blessing it comes and we experience him the bible says if we draw near to him he

forever yes lord you are our champion you are our champion [Applause] oh lord isaiah said in the year that king of zios died i saw the lord and he was high and lifted up oh and his train filled the temple and i was educated about that apparently when the kings would fight to signal that the other camp had subjected themselves to defeat the king would go and he would cut off the train of that king's robe and he would he would stitch it on to the other side and his train would get longer and longer and longer so when that scripture says his train filled the temple it filled the temple that means he has never lost that means he has never lost no one has been able to dethrone him no one has able to defeat him and we worship the god that is champion he is champion and he reigns forever forever amen and there is nothing that is too hard for our god yeah oh hallelujah yes your champion thank you for being our champion hallelujah yeah don't stop worshiping don't stop worshiping don't

usher will bring you an envelope all will be accepted thank you [Music] hallelujah i'm gonna quickly say um one thing before i see this week i've really been just basking in the presence of god like literally me and marcus have just been at it the whole week since the last sunday and um i was watching um [Music] a lady she's passed away now her name's catherine corman i don't know if anyone's familiar with her um but she said something i was watching one of her messages and she said something so powerful about being a vessel for god's use she'll say like it's not about being a silver vessel being a gold vessel because you can be any of those things and be closed completely closed off to the presence of god completely closed off to his spirit but you could be literally an earth and a moth is trying to rejoice but god has given us the power to trample on serpents and i'm checking don't worry it's one of god's creation um and yeah i was just really overwhelmed at that fact that she said you can literally be a potter a potter's work a clay work but as long as you are available for use as long as it's a surrendered vessel then god can use it and i just want to just tell you that you are important to god that he thought of you when he was on the cross and he died you were on his mind you specifically he saw he closed his eyes and saw your face and rejoiced over you even in his suffering so i hope that you're blessed by this one [Music] above all kings above all nature and all created thee above all wisdom and always you are here before the world began [Music] above all kingdoms above all thrones above all one the world has ever known above our wealth and treasures of the earth [Music] there's no way to measure your words above all kingdoms above [Music] and treasures of the earth [Music] there's no way to measure [Music] rejected [Music] and thought of me [Music] above [Music] [Music] above all kings [Music] [Music] and all the ways you were here before the world began [Music] the whole world has ever known there's no way to measure your words [Music] you live today [Music] you took [Music] [Music] that was trampled on the ground [Music] like [Music] you took you took my shame you took my brokenness you took my pain oh god you took my abandonment you took my identity issues but light grows kicked on spit on spit on but like rose trampled on the ground you took my fall and you thought of me personally you took fall god and thought of us you took the embarrassment of god and thought of me [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] thank you missy once you thank you mizzy worship team musicians thank you so much god bless you george thank you for kind of leading us through the service as well and god bless all of you teachers and returning students that are going back to school but at this time we're gonna hear the word of god and when this young man comes before you you know he's been through a lot and he inspires me just the way he works and the way he serves god and you know the way he works with his family he's just a real blessing but he's been through a lot he had covered less than is it over a month ago two months ago but we're standing he's gonna stand before us and he's a real miracle um in how god just brought him through and i don't even know what symptoms he's had or like after effects but he just got up and he's yeah i'm ready for work and i'm thinking cold like relax man like just just allow yourself to rest but he's he's a blessing to the house you know and if you just put your hands together and welcome up colin glenn praise god thank god praise him good afternoon church afternoon um can we just spend some time just worshiping god clap your hands and just give god the praise thanking him for what he's done hallelujah thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord hallelujah hallelujah god you're good you're good you're good you're good you're good you're good praise him praise him praise him praise him i guess i'm a bit overwhelmed because the last time that i spoke i didn't know i would have an opportunity to speak again i thought it might have been my last words but praise be to god he is the victor thank you lord thank you lord so um i just want to give god thanks that i can be here that i can be in the house that i can be amongst you family arc um greeting pastor jason his wife michelle thank you god bless you i greet pastor peter in his absence and all the elders pastor grady um i greet you all in the matchless name of jesus um god is good god is good god is good we've had such a wonderful service so far jordan thank god for you thank god for you thank god for you and mizzy just keep singing allow god to do what he needs to do in you and keep singing and yeah it's a good house to be in uh i can see why david said it i was glad when they said to me come and spend and be in the house of the lord um so i have the privilege of opening the new series for september um no pressure hey i was hoping to build on everybody else's message and then i'm the first one uh but god god be praised um and so this series is entitled the greatest help and we're looking at how god helps we're looking at the spirit of god who will help us so let's dive straight in but before we do that i'm just going to pray and ask god to do his thing so father god another time i just want to say thank you for the opportunity father martin that you would be with me at this time as you have been in times past i pray lord god that you will be glorified and you will be magnified your word tells us that if you be lifted up that you would draw all men onto yourself so i come before you as a humble vessel ask him that you will speak through me asking for an unction and anointing to break yokes that father that you will be glorified i pray it will be all of you none of me and i pray lord god that for everyone that is sitting in this house that they will receive something from from you lord god and pray for everybody who may be watching online that they will also receive of you i pray that you will speak to your people that father lord god that we will go from strength to strength in jesus name amen praise god so um the theme is the greatest help uh and the the anchor text for it is uh john 14 26 i'm just going to read that scripture it says that these things i have spoken to you while being present with you but the helper the holy spirit whom the father will send in my name he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that i said to you peace i leave of you my peace i give to you not as the world gives do i give to you let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid praise god for those for those of you who are taking notes i've entitled this message look to the hills so the context of this scripture is very interesting because it's it's coming to the close of jesus's ministry he's been with his disciples um for three years and he's been instructing them he's been teaching them he's been showing them various things and then he drops a bombshell and says by the way i'm gonna go and they're like what what do you mean um but he's saying that although i'm gonna go i'm gonna send another helper to help you um in in some translations when you read the king james version it says comforter i don't know for those of you who are old school you would have known their songs like the comforter has come so i won't sing it don't worry [Laughter] so you you have songs you have songs that referred to the comforter that the comforter was in in the esv and in the new king james we have um helper in some translations you have advocate uh or almost um as a lawyer that that this helper will help you will guide you um and he has a responsibility to guide you into all truth so jesus said he's going to go but he's going to send someone to help these disciples a helper to help them which we refer to as the holy spirit so as i began to look at the text and try to unpack the message i began to consider world it's entitled the greatest help and so there is help and then there's the greatest help help is important at some time in your life you're going to need help everybody needs help help means to give assistance to strengthen something to cooperate effectively to aid to assist some at some point in your life you're gonna need help at the very beginning of creation when god created man genesis 2 18 he says and the lord said it is not good for man should be alone i will make him a helper comparable to him so even god's intention at the very beginning of creation when he made man was that man would need help he makes woman to assist him but i believe that god would have us to be in community so that we are constantly helping the both genders are to help each other because we can be blindsided by things but but god has in would would want us to live in such a way that we are helping one another and i think that god knows that we need help because he knows that we would run into trouble at some point job kind of captures it in this way in job 14 verse 1 it says man that is born of a woman is but a few days and then full of trouble so there's an expectation that when you come out of the womb at some point you're gonna run into trouble and at that point you're gonna need help the the so i've tried to look at this message and then i began to break down the types of help and i want to give you three three ways in which i believe that there is help the first way is that you can receive man's help we'll go into that then you could receive angelic help and then you can receive god's help where god himself steps into your situation so let's go in first chronicles 12 16 talks of david and david is on the run from saul he's in a place called ziklak and in ziglag he needs help because his enemy is fierce and it's interesting what is said here uh i'll just read from um verse 16 it says then some of the sons of benjamin and judah came to david at the stronghold and david went out to meet them and answered and said to them if you have come peaceably to me to help me my heart will be united with you but if you betray me to my enemy since there is no wrong in my hands may the god of our fathers look and bring judgment then the spirit came upon amicid the chief captains and he said we are yours o david we are on your side o son of jesse peace and peace to you and peace to your helpers for your god helps you so david received them and made them captains of the truth david needed help he was on the run for his life and he needed help and these guys said we're here to help we're not here to cause uh cause you a problem we're here to help and they've realized that god was gonna help them in the new testament uh we have various stories of people helping people one of the most notable is that of the good samaritan i'm sure you all know the story very well where the there is a guy who's beaten up on the side of the road and then a levite a priest of religious people of the day walk past him but the reality is that this samaritan man comes and assists and helping that's found in luke 30 luke 10 versus 30-36 and this this samaritan basically says i'm going to look after you takes him to a hotel and says whatever it costs put it on my tab help most times when you pray your answer is a person you may not unders you may not recognize it as a person but it's a person you may pray you may pray to god for some uh for some more money and then somebody comes up and says i've got a job for you it's more money but you prayed more money but a person came to you and assisted you you may or someone makes if someone may walk up to you with a tempo in their hand and pass it into your hand because you pray to god requesting more money you pray to god but god put it in the heart of somebody and that person is the answer to your prayer so most times in this realm whenever you pray you you pray you may pray for patience and then god gives you a horrible boss and you're like lord what is this guy doing to me but you prayed for patience and what is happening is that your character has been trained and strained so that you can obtain the patience that you prayed for it may not be the way that you wanted it but you prayed and asked god to help your character god answers your prayers with people that's why we can't really write anybody off because you don't know how they're going to help you you don't really know if god has somebody in the back of the service who's there just a place there just to help you um it's interesting to me that when you receive help you can achieve more it you can do it by yourself but with help you can achieve more um any jamaicans in the house okay so who's the fastest man on the planet world record holder is what's his time does anybody oh wow see hallelujah jamaicans in the house 958 is his time check this i was listening to this and i thought it was it just blessed me so i'm going to say it i heard it i'm going to say it to you the relay race of the men's to make of the the jamaican men well done all the relay runners for for ark brilliant god bless you but the relay race the relay race i don't think you got this time the relay race for the jamaican men's world record is 36.84 seconds if you divided that by four you get 9.21 seconds meaning that usain bolt is actually faster in a relay than he is as a single runner 100 meters help help if we work together we can go faster we can go stronger help um let's move on i don't want to run out of time today i really don't i really don't lord help me so the others the other type of help that you can receive is angelic and you have various scriptures which point to angelic help whereby you pray to god and god releases an angel to assist you and help you so in second kings six verses 16 to 18 i'll read it it says that so he answered do not fear for those that are with us are more than those who are with them and elisha prayed and said lord i pray open his eyes that he may see then the lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around elijah so when the sirians came down to him elisha prayed to the lord and said strike this people i pray with bindles and he struck them with blindness according to the word of elisha elijah's enemies that were the syrians and they surrounded him and the young man that was with him thought how we gonna handle this because there's more of them than there are of us and elijah says no no no you need to open your eyes and pray that the young man's eyes will be open and when the young man's eyes were opened he saw a whole host of heaven of angels to assist them this is how we fight our battles i won't sing we may be surrounded but we are surrounded by god so as long as we are on the lord's side there is more with you than against you take that into work with you on monday so the god give me strength so but in the new testament we don't have that much um stories of angelic help but we have one we have one of peter who was put into prison and he was put into prison because herod basically killed james one of the disciples and it pleased the jews and so he thought you know what i'm going to kill peter as well because he wanted to please more jews and so in in trying to kill p he puts him into prison and says he's going to deal with him and the church prayed help the church prayed now no disciple left from prayer to go and assist peter they didn't do a prison break or was an escape plan but what happened was that an angel was dispatched and that angel released peter from out of prison took him out of prison took him out of the gate which he couldn't even open so angelic help is given to us um gosh so years ago i was driving down the m1 and um i was driving to luton and i was i was tired and you i don't know if you've driven like this that's why it says if you're feeling tired stop but i'm feeling tired and i'm nodding and i'm nodded and i'm driving about 60 70 miles an hour and i'm nodding and i'm nodding and i'm thinking i'm just tired i'm tired and then saints out of nowhere i felt like my car front suspension like a weight just sat on the car and slowed it down when i when i kind of opened my eyes i was this far away from the car in front and if i don't i can't say that i saw an angel but what i can say there was a presence sitting on my car that prevented me from crashing at 60 70 miles an hour angelic help angelic help god will dispatch stuff on your behalf it's the the bible says and he will give his angels charge concerning you help and then the third type of help and then i'm gonna come to my message and then the third type of help and then the third type of help is when god himself comes in and i think the most notable story for me is the story of the free hebrew boys and in the three hebrew boys they refused to worship king's nebuchadnezzar idol and i'll just read for you verse 24 this is taken from general three verses 24 and it says this then king nebuchadnezzar was astonished and he rose in haste and spoke saying to his counselors did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire they answered and said to the king true okay look he answered i see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire and they did not hurt and the form of the fourth and they are not her and the form of the fourth is like the son of god then nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke saying shadrach meshach and abednego servants of the most high god come out and come here then shadrach meshach and came from the midst of the fire god will stand with you in your fire whatever circumstance whatever situation god will stand with you in your fire um you know the king didn't really know who he was dealing with when he was dealing with the hebrew boys and the reason being is that their names were changed their names were changed to represent babylonian gods but if the king had any understanding of who they were he might not even have put them in the fire in the first place because shadrach's original name was hananiah which means that god is gracious meshach's name originally was michiel which means who is like god and abendigo's original name was azariah which says yahweh has helped [Applause] these guys knew who they were know who you are you are a child of the most high god there is no fire from hell that can devour you there is no circumstance that is not so insurmountable but you cannot overcome help and he may send someone he may send an angel but if your fire is hot he himself will stand with you in your fire this is the god who we serve so my message look to the hills as as i was musing over this theme as i was moving me thinking about and meditating on it there's one scripture that that came to me more than anything which is psalm 121 and it says i will lift up my eyes to the hills for it comes my helpful my help comes from the lord who made heaven and earth he will not allow your foot to be moved he who keeps you will not slumber nor sleep for he who keeps israel shall neither slumber nor sleep the lord is your keeper the lord is your shade at your right hand the sun shall not strike you by day nor the moon by night the lord shall preserve you from all evil he shall preserve your soul the lord shall preserve your going out and you're coming in from this time forth and even forever more interesting um this psalm is known as the song of a sense it's it's it's sometimes called the sojourner's psalm or the traveller's psalm it's read in times of travel and what's interesting when david wrote it is for me that i understand psalm 1121 but it's psalm 120 the pres the one before it that makes you understand that the death of psalm 121 because psalm 120 is david talking about his distress so in psalm 120 he says in my distress i cried to the lord and he heard me deliver my soul o lord from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue what shall be given to you or what shall be done to you your false tongue sharp arrows of the warrior with coals of the broom tree woe is me that i may dwell in meshech that i will dwell among the tents of kidar my soul has dwelt too long with one who hates peace i am for peace but when i speak they are for war and then he says i will lift up my eyes from what's cometh my help my help comes from the lord um who made heaven and earth he's not just talking about looking at the hills he's actually talking beyond the hills is the god who made the hills the god who made heaven the god who made earth and it's that god that i am looking to for my help i almost called this message look to god because that's what david was really meaning look to god beyond your circumstance beyond that which you see look to god for your help will come from him he made heaven and earth so as uh as um pastor jason introduced me many of you know that i was unwell i didn't realize how unwell i was i really didn't um and even the last time i spoke which i was speaking at 2.0 um my i i was not feeling great but i didn't feel i didn't know that i wasn't really unwell i just wasn't feeling great i remember coming um and arriving and pastor p praying for me and been praying for me in the service but i wasn't feeling great um and then the the that week um i started to uh throw up and i called my gp and he basically said um it sounds like you have a very severe case of food poisoning so i was like okay i can handle food poisoning and i was literally just at home just trying to get whatever was in me out and it was coming out i won't be graphic but it was it was coming out um but i remember i don't know it's funny because i i remember i remember one day the pain of this thing was i don't know if you've ever experienced pain in your body extrude that's so excruciating that your eyes just weep um now you've got to understand i i've grown up in an environment where men don't cry i've grown up in an environment where where i've worked we i've seen men cut up their fingers and just say yeah let's just take them up and keep going because we're we're worth trained to be strong that's the whole point you're putting massive beams in and all that so i can't remember many times in my adult life whether i felt pain to make me cry before my god i cry all the time god will have me on the floor weeping but not for pain that's my relationship but this pain saints oh my gosh it was just ripping through me and my eyes just started to weep and i'm there i'm like lord lord and then in the midst of that um i get a phone call from pastor p and pastor p calls me goes colin you're right i guess nah p nah nah pain man pain but and p just starts putting down some prayer saints can i encourage you that when god drops that person in your spirit pick up the phone and call them when god drops that text them engage with them or at the very very least pray for them because you don't know what they're going through he didn't know what i was going through at that time but you don't know what they're going through and it could be anything and god has pleased you dropped something in your heart to be able to to pray for them and then as time went on and and the so-called sort of um food poisoning subsided that i still was feeling unwell and it's interesting because i don't often go to the hospital but me and my wife would talk and we said okay maybe we should go to a e and i'm walking and i'm feeling oh my gosh i can't even walk a certain distance but god is so good god is so good god is so good when i got to the hospital i'm gonna try and cut a very long there's too much to go into detail but what i would say when i when i arrived they told me that i had pneumonia in both of my lungs and i'm like how do you even catch pneumonia and so god is so good i've had this thing i'm dealing with this thing and now i've got to trust when they said look we're going to have to keep you in and i'm like do what you've got to do because i need to i need to get out god is so good god is so good god is so good and as jason said they they kind of said oh we we think you also may have coveted and what's interesting i started to believe that what god did for pastor p what god did for you god will also do for me see the way that our god works is that he is not partial the way he loves me is the way that he loves you now it may not always be obvious because we are favored at different times so he may be you may be favored today and people may see your favor and think oh gosh god is just blessing that person but the reality is is that if your favor hasn't come your favor is coming because the god that we serve is not partial he loves us all the same and i'm grateful to god the reason why i'm grateful to god i'm grateful to god for this church because this church demonstrated to me the importance of being part of a community when you are low and you can't pray for yourself you need people to be praying for you and that's what this church demonstrated to me because there were people that were just praying and i'm like every people are praying you're getting encouragement you're getting text messages people are checking in with my wife it's so important find yourself in a church community in a christian because you're gonna need help at some point you're going to need help i've got to give god thanks for my family who are the most amazing bunch i'm in the hospital and i think it was a day that i was telling my wife how i'm improving i my son sends me a video clip of my wife worshiping god in the kitchen and then underneath the video clip is a caption from my daughter which basically says worship god regardless so i'm in a hospital bed and my family is having a praise party at home and i'm like lord i need to get out of this bed because i need to go and join a praise party that is happening at home as a father and a husband my greatest concern was my family but the reality is they knew who their greatest help was so i'm in my bed but they are getting the help they are getting the assistance because they understand their greatest help for those who contacted me for those of you who checked in i appreciate you more than you can ever know i remember my cousin texting me she's in dc she texted me she didn't know that i was in hospital the lord just laid her laid me on her heart and then she texts me she says oh i said because i'm in hospital she said what i'll call you so she called me from dc she's like what's happening guys look they said i have this they said i have da da da da da and she says don't worry i'm going to start praying she started praying she goes invite because she's a missionary she says right i'm gonna release the the prayer team to start praying allah okay go ahead release everybody it doesn't matter i need help i need help and saints at one stage when i checked i had people in canada people in north america people in central america people in south america people in africa in europe in indonesia praying for me just praying for me so you can imagine that now that i'm out do you know how much damage i want to do to the kingdom of darkness come on i was in there for eight days now devil that was your best shot now see mine now see mine so let's get back to the word first corinthians 12 verses 28 talks about helps it talks about that there are many gifts there is apostles prophets teachers then it goes on to say tongues miracles helping healings administration and then paul says something very interesting earnestly desire the best gift i was speaking to a young person this week and i was saying to them it's so important that you desire the gifts i would rather people desire to speak in tongues and to prophesy and to do all of those things then to desire big cars and big houses and designer clothes desire the gifts desire the gifts and in the midst of them of all those gifts that's mentioned helps we are all called to help one another we are all called to help one another but what prevents the help i kind of came to a conclusion i came up with four things there may be more but but as i was meditating these are the four that i came up with i think that the biggest hindrance for us receiving help is pride pride says i don't want your help price says that i know it all and really and truly i don't want to let you know that i don't know so pride actually says i don't ask no questions i don't want to be vulnerable and therefore i don't need your help pride it stops us so many times wisdom comes from god that's what the bible says if you if any man lack wisdom let him ask of god who gives to all liberally yeah so it doesn't matter if you're 5 or 85 you can receive wisdom from god in part of this message i've given you the names of the three hebrew boys i learned that from my son on holiday this year because we ask them to present to us things that they are learning and we ask them to present to us bible stories this year and my son came back and told me daddy daddy do you know the names of the three hebrew boys because of course i do do you know what they mean i said i'll use that for my preaching but i understand that i can learn from them as much as they learn from me because it's not based upon age it's based upon what god has placed inside of individuals and so we have to be humble enough to know there are some young men that can teach you greater than some older men and there's some old men that can still teach but we work together second thing i came up with was ignorance it's where you don't really you don't really really realize that you need help and because you don't realize that you need help you refuse it because you're ignorant and so you when you don't know what you don't know it's very difficult for you to get out of a place whereby you know what you need to know more but put yourself in environments that are challenging to you so that you can know so that you can know more because sometimes we live in the comfort of just where we are but sometimes god needs to move us out of our comfort zones so that we can learn more so that we can understand more the other thing is miscommunication it's where i don't understand the help and you're not really helping me um it's that old thing like uh in in karate kids for those who've seen that movie that old movie karate kid where you've got mr miyagi teaching the the boy how to do how to wax on wax on and paint and the boy doesn't realize that he's being helped until he goes into battle and he's using the same move that of painting and we don't it's a miscommunication we don't understand the help most parents will understand this because as you bring up your child you realize that you can't do everything for them and you say you do it and then i thought you're going to help me no i am helping you i'm helping you by not doing it because you need to learn to do it for yourself and then the last one i thought of was fear and how much fear plays a part in us not asking for help that we're scared to be vulnerable we're scared to show that actually we don't know we're scared to say you know what can you help me and i i pray that we have a community that we are able to help one another and we begin to realize that we may not have all the answers but most of the time the answers is in the house there's somebody somewhere in here who can provide the answer that you need and all you need is for god to direct you to that individual pride let me just go in with that one this scripture says that jesus was going to leave a helper and that help was going to bring all things back to our remembrance and it was it's based upon if you can imagine for three years you've been learning three years you've been instructed and then the teacher goes so there's a there's a there's a possibility that you may forget what he has taught but the spirit of god will bring you back into remembrance and i feel that god if we allow this greatest help to help us he will bring things back to our remembrance some of us do need to be remembered to remember because we've got to remember that we were sinners that were saved by grace and i think that sometimes we forget we forget what god has done for us i know we're all looking pretty in here today but some of us know that we weren't always like this some of us really know that boy if god never got a hold of me it's hms that you'll be visiting me in some of us know that it's only god's grace that has changed us see many times that when david was king god had to remind david i took you from following the sheep so don't come big up your chest now remember where i took you from and i think we have to remember where we where we have come from not to go back there but to know that god has done something mighty in our lives some of us need to remember that when we had more we had more money for for drugs than we do for tives some of us need to remember we had more time in the clubs and so why is it so difficult to come to a prayer service or come to us come to a service some of us need to remember how we were dancing and celebrating in the club so why can we not dance and celebrate before god who has saved us who has taken us from darkness into his marvelous life [Applause] the time we have spent in the world we need to remember because now that god has saved you he wants all of you he don't want you like half in the world half in the church he wants all of you because in giving him all he will give back to you he's no man's debtor okay i wanted to sh because your prayer grady inspired me and i was wondering whether i should share this and now i realize why to encourage those who are going back to school to university to various institutions to encourage you that even in these institutions where you go and you write exams that god is with you and god can bring things back to your remembrance and it doesn't matter whatever you're doing as long as you trust in god god can be with you i think some people feel that christianity is just for church it's not just for church it's actually jesus said that you are the light of the world a city that is hidden you you can't hide this light don't don't hide it anyway many years ago when i was at university um i remember studying and i remember um a friend of mine calling me about 9 30 10 o'clock at night to wish me well for my exam the next day and i said to this guy i don't have an exam and i was like he's like no no no no no yes oh lord jesus i was like i don't have an example he goes yeah you do i'm like nah nah nah you joke with me i thought he's pranking me i'm gonna come to your yard i'm gonna see if i got it so i drove over to his yard and sure enough saints i had an exam i'm like lord okay so i said to him ah you know what i'm just going to say i didn't know about it and then the brother turned to me and says but you're a christian you can't lie it's so funny how your non-christian friends become christian police when you're in your problems it's so funny like he's not he's not christian but he's telling me that as a christian i can't lie and i'm like lord so i said okay yeah yeah you're right you're right i can't lie i can't lie says i was petrified i went on my way home i bought a six pack of red bull i got home about 11 o'clock at night 12 o'clock i had an old gospel song by hezekiah walker that says the lord will make a way somehow so i'm playing the lord will make a way somehow i'm drinking red bull and i'm studying i studied till 5am in the morning went to sleep for an hour woke up again studied till about 12 and then went in for the exam got to the exam i said lord jesus help me here and as i'm sitting in exam i don't know it's ever happened to you but as i was saying it said my spirit starts singing the lord will make a way somehow and i'm thinking lord you need to be quiet now i'm silent i'm really exam like time to cut and my spirits and the lord to make a way and i'm like and i'm looking around making sure no one can i'm thinking can they hear me singing i'm like i'm humming the lord and i start writing i start writing and i'm singing and i'm writing somehow the lord is bringing back to my remembrance the things that are on the paper saints this is when we talk about the greatest help when the results came back for the exam i didn't just pass the exam i smashed the exam [Applause] i smashed it to the point whereby i was actually top of the class [Applause] so check this the lord is good so my peers my peers asked me to teach them the subjects so i received help the greatest help and because i received help they've asked me to help them the greatest help he will bring things back to your remembrance i thought so for those of you who are going back to your injury have no fear god is with you he will bring things back to your remembrance i'm gonna i'm gonna try and close oh my gosh nine nine minutes less than nine minutes i've got so much do you know when you when when you live a life that god has just blessed you and there's so much that he has shown you this so much that i wasn't always like this but it's just that i just decided at a very young age i'm going to walk with the lord and ever since i've walked with him he has just done miraculous absolutely miraculous so okay let me go to this one hebrews 13 verses 5 to 6 says this keep your life free from the love of money and be content with what you have for he said i will never leave you nor forsake you so we can confidently say the lord is my helper i will not fear what man can do to me in some translations it says be not convic do not covet be content do not allow conviciousness be content it's so important that we realize that god is with us that he won't leave us or forsake us in um in john 14 and verse 16 it says and i will pray the father that he will give you another helper that he may abide with you forever the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither neither sees him nor knows him but you know him for he dwells with you and will be in you i will not leave your or you orphans i will come to you we've got to get to a point in our lives that we should know that the greatest help that we can ever receive is from god himself that he can turn around any situation any circumstance whatever we're going through that god can make a way i'm gonna i'm gonna close on i'm gonna close on this i'm gonna close on this lord give me strength um i've been involved in many different types of projects and every single project i get involved i always pray and say lord help because as much as i may have an ability and a skill i know that there is a greater ability and skill that comes from god that is greater than me so many times when when i've done things i've known that although i'm there that there that god has given me an inspiration to do lots of different crazy stuff lots of different stuff one of the one of my projects many many years ago when i was starting this project we were planting this there was a church plant of which they needed a facility and the facility was a old tailoring place and the guy wanted to turn it into a cafe have it as a business and do church amazing idea i said yeah of course i helped he heard about me he explained to me what the vision was and as soon as he explained to the division i said yes we can do it and he looked at me he said wow you're the first guy that i've come to or one of the first guys i've gone to who actually believes that i can achieve because of course i'm helps that's what i'm here for he said okay cool so we looked at this space and then i asked him well how much money do you have and he told me the amount of money he has and i laughed because i know that you can't do this kind of project for the amount of money that you have so i said to him but do you have more faith than money he said absolutely i've got faith in abundance i said god great we'll pray and we prayed over this project saints by the end of the week he calls me up he says colin you won't believe what happened to me i guess why what's happened he said someone just wrote me a check for six thousand pounds i said thank you jesus tell the builder we're gonna start on monday we've got we haven't got enough money but the lord will continue to make a way helps helps we completed the project the builder was very sympathetic he he entered into some kind of a debt and i said to him this place is so marvelous because what you're doing you're bringing god to a community that really needs it and so people will walk past your calf they will see cakes and they will come in and buy the cake you might even leave the cake because this has to grow this has to happen because god is in it in three months he called me and he said colin you know what's happened i said no well tell me what's happened he said in three months we are debt free helps helps see we need to stack some stuff young people talk about stacking cash i'm stacking i'm stacking you need to stack your prayers stack your fasting stack your reading of his word so that god has something to work with see what i learned in that project was that he he gave god something to work with they used their skills and their talents but god brought the blessing [Music] he will bring whatever you need back to your remembrance you will have the key to unlock whatever door that you need but if you feel you have nothing because that's sometimes how we feel i don't have anything to stack i don't have another prayer i don't i can't get into his word we are dealing with a god that was able to take the earth which was without form and void nothing and said let there be light and there was light trust god look beyond the hills from what's cometh your help your help will come from the lord and may he illuminate and light your situation god bless you [Applause] i wanted to just go in to people who may feel they have nothing this life will always write you a curveball something that is unexpected and we may feel completely depleted like there's nothing left to give as a child of a god as the child of the king as a child of god as as individuals that serve the lord jesus christ god is obligated to help you as his child that's why i struggle understanding atheism because you're saying that you can do it all by yourself you don't need any supernatural help or assistance but we have a god that helps us so i wanted to ask if there was anybody in here who has not made a decision for christ but there's something about this message that you realize you know what i need help i want you to raise your hand if you want to make that decision today because he can help you i don't know if there was anybody in here but if there is we'll give you some time but could you raise your hand and we will pray with you because he is here to help you i see one hand thank you lord praise god praise god praise god thank you jesus we go girl thanks sis i see your hand do you want to come and we'll pray for you come on then thank you jesus [Applause] [Music] thank you lord thank you lord i'm just gonna ask what's your name saints um we're gonna pray for christine can i ask someone to join her thank you lord thank you lord as much as i love speaking you know there's nothing greater than a person giving their life to christ [Music] it changes your trajectory it changes your life and sayings we've got to be conscious that this is what it's about i know we're sitting pretty because god has done a work in our lives but there's a there's a world out there that needs the light of christ so i'll ask you all could you just pray for chris christine i'm going to speak to some moments [Music] [Music] [Music] amen praise god we've got tissues thank you lord can we give a round of applause for christy [Applause] [Music] christine know that you have made the best decision of your life and although trouble may come you have the greatest help to help you to strengthen you i'm going to close the service but i realized that we struggle it's part of life um i'm not gonna do another article but if there are people in here that are really struggling that say lord you know what i don't even know what my next move is could you raise your hand i want to pray for you for any online viewers that are watching know that i'm going to pray for you as well god's got you so if there's anybody else that's saying lord you know what i need i need help i need help thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord okay so i'm going to pray for those of you that didn't raise your hand can you stand [Music] and i want you to be prayerful knowing that sometimes for those who raise their hands you are their answer to prayer god is sending you to help them so let's just pray father god we want to give you thanks we want to give you thanks for your words we want to give you thanks to the unction but father i just want to pray for these individuals who need your help right now whatever circumstance and whatever situation they are going through father i pray that you will be a light to them that they would look beyond the hills and know that god is there the maker of heaven and earth so father i pray lord god that you would give them wisdom for the situation that they're in that father that you would enable them lord god to know who you are lord god i pray that you watch over them i pray that you strengthen them i pray that you will be with them father i pray that they would have a testimony just how you have done it for me i pray that they will have a testimony of how you have brought them through for your word says that we will overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony so father give them a testimony i pray that you would cover them in this season and that father that you will watch over them and that you would protect them give your angels charge concerning them father and help them through their struggle in jesus name i pray amen [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you bro thank you for that word world church he's already prayed us out but i just pray that you be blessed i pray even though you gave the word that god will bless you also um of course we have arc 2.0 coming after us so if we just leave as quickly as possible to give room to them coming in and have a blessed week in jesus name for those of you online have a good week as well bless you in jesus name [Applause] so g [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music]
