[Music] it is you our praises are for only you the heavens declare [Music] it is you it is you come on go to your bibles to matthew chapter 7 matthew chapter 7. that was my commercials for this morning and matthew chapter 7 and we're going to wrap up our series this morning called unshakeable and we've been looking at matthew chapter 7 where jesus talks about the house that was built on the rock and was built on the sand the first week we talked about how do we hear hearing for revelation last the second week we talked about acting on the word is really you know wisdom is acting on wisdom and then uh last week we talked about when the wind the rain and the floods come i know the rain the winds and floods will come you don't prepare for them not to come you prepare to be able to stand when they come right you see the difference here's what jesus said matthew chapter 7 verse 24 therefore whoever hears these things of mine and does them i will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock say that with me who built his house on the rock and the rain descended the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house and it did not fall for it was founded on the rock but everyone who hears these things of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand and the rain descended the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house and great was his fault so we've been building on again the hearing the acting on the word wisdom last week about you know the when the storms of life come you know the storms will come you can't have enough faith for the storms not to come but you have enough faith to stand in the midst of the storm right you know you build your house so that you could stand when when things hit you um you know when when life hit again when coveted hit march of 2020 and it's not just covet life has not just been about covet we're still going through life some of you have gone through some other things in the last year and a half besides covet right the rains have come the floods have come the wind has come you know when those things hit that's when we really figure out what we what what our life has been built on what our faith has been built on what are what you know the direction we've been going has been built on you know as i shared when we started this series you know this passage and this series really has been my on my heart for over a year now year and a half because after covet hit you know those there are some things that in my life i was like man i still strong i did better on that than i thought have you ever surprised yourself and you're like good job you know i was like i'm surprised good uh but there were other areas that you thought man you were doing really good and you thought and you realized man i wasn't strong as strong there as i thought i was right so so the storms the the pressures of life actually are revealers they reveal what's on the inside of us so we build not in the middle of a storm you know i how foolish would it be to try to build your house while while the storm is going on right now obviously if you need shelter go for it but when is the best time to build is when the storm's not hitting the best time to build your faith for healing is when you're not sick right the best time to build your faith for provision in your life when all your means all your bills are paid that's the best time to build your faith most christians don't do that though they wait till this crisis hits and they're like can you give me those verses again now that's better than nothing right but the best time to build our faith for a particular thing is when we're not in the middle of the crisis so now is the best time to build for the next thing that the devil is going to try to hit your life with or try to hit our world with how many realize cove is not the worst thing is going to happen to the world right it's not you know people ask me uh recently somebody asked me i think was last week or week four they said pastor do you believe the vaccine is uh the mark of the beast i was gonna mess with them at first uh then i said no i don't believe that the vaccine is the mark of the beast but you could totally see how it's conditioning for the mark of the beast right because when the mark of the beast comes to be like hey what's the big deal didn't you get the vaccine you know you did it to go to work right you did it to go to the store right you did it too what's the big deal just take the chip now some of you think you already got the chip with the vaccine anyway but uh but you see what i'm saying it's not but it's conditioning now i'm not saying don't get it i'm just saying you know uh it's it's kill is not the worst thing that happens the devil's gonna hit you with stuff he's gonna hit the world with stuff but listen we don't have to fear that we don't we don't have to fear what the devil's doing because we know what god's called us to do and no matter what happens we stand because we build on the right foundation well today i want to talk about faith our foundation is faith living in faith walking in faith i want to stretch you this morning how am i ready to get stretched this morning i want us to stretch our faith i so want you to stretch yourself this morning that you get a spiritual wedgie okay are you ready hebrews chapter 11 verse uh one says this now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen for by it the elders obtained a good testimony by what by faith they obtained a good testimony by faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of god so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible by faith abel offered to god a more excellent sacrifice than cain through which he obtained witness uh witness that he was righteous god testifying of his gifts and and through it he being dead still speaks by faith enoch was taken away that he did not see death and was not found because god was with him for before he was taken he had this testimony that he pleased god can you imagine you just like walk around one day and god's like okay time to go out be like all right beam me up holy spirit but without faith satan is far with me it is impossible to please him for without faith it is impossible to please him for he who comes to god must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him you know i know when god says it is impossible it's impossible right you cannot please god without faith faith is what pleases him now have you ever wondered to yourself what is it that catches god's attention you know there are some people in life that we come across that it seems like they all they just always just have god's attention you know what i'm talking about they have like what's called the midas touch it seems like everything they put their hand to just prospers like turns to gold right everything they lead just grows everything they do just it just works out well you know every time they're in a service no matter who the guest speaker is they're the ones who get the prophetic word you know what i'm talking about it's like they're just they just got a target on their back from heaven disgusting i mean awesome we love those people right so like do you ever wonder what is it about them that is it's like they have heaven's attention so a long time ago i was thinking about that i thought like what is it that gets heaven's attention and this thought came to me is like well what got jesus's attention because whatever got jesus attention in the gospels is what gets god's attention today because jesus said if you've seen the father you've seen me or seen me you've seen the father right so how jesus operated on the earth is how god operates today so what was it that got jesus attention now um jesus one of the things there's two two main things that got his attention the first was when he encountered unbelief right like for example in nazareth his own hometown you know he's preaching and they're like wow where did he get such words and all of a sudden they're like hey we know him we went to school with him we're in school with his siblings you know his parents oh he lived right down the street i'm offended right and it says and he could do almighty works because of their unbelief and jesus marveled at their unbelief right and many times you know the disciples they would do something or not do something and jesus would be like how long shall i suffer with you sometimes we read the bible like and we don't really think about it how long shall i suffer with thee said the lord he's right thinking how long shall i suffer with you i think if there was text messaging at the time there's certain emoji that jesus would use a lot i use this one a lot it's the one with the hand in the face right it's like peter sends him a text hey we can't cast this demon on what do we do how long shall i suffer with you there's two emojis i use a lot that's one of them then there's this one i don't use it as much anymore but it's brown and ass anyway sometimes that's the that's the only response you have with some things people say you know oh blank uh anyway and uh so can you imagine just jesus how long shall i suffer with you unbelief caught his attention all right it caught his attention the other thing that caught his attention was faith right for example do you remember um the centurion who comes to him now you have to remember healing was not something that all of a sudden became promised because or god began to do because jesus died on the cross healing was part of the old testament covenant to the jews he was jehovah rapha the lord who heals you like remember when the woman in the synagogue that jesus healed and they got all worked up that he healed on sabbath he says how you know why he says this woman who'd been a daughter of abraham has been sick for so many years she has a right to be healed so we knew that healing was part of the covenant so the centurion comes to him who's not part of the covenant he's a roman centurion he comes to jesus says jesus would you heal my servant and jesus says yes i will come and i will heal your servant and and the centurion says no i'm a man in authority and i'm a man under authority and i say to this one go i know the power of words jesus just speak the word and my servant will be healed and jesus just turns around to the disciples says guys i have not seen such faith in all of israel you just speak the word now now just imagine right now if that was your loved one like you had someone who needed to be healed and you come to a healing evangelist right and he says he's willing to come and lay hands on them how many would be like yeah you come on over and lay hands on them you wouldn't be like no no you just stay here speak the word just right you know i'm talking about it just shows you that level of faith that jesus is seeing now in the centurion well what about the woman the canaanite woman who comes to jesus one day and says jesus my daughter is sick and jesus says to her hey i've come to the house of israel and he says he he calls her a dog he says i cannot throw the children's bread give the children's bread to the dogs now um can you imagine a preacher saying that to a woman today he will be dead right now jesus wasn't being a jerk but did you know sometimes god will intentionally offend your mind to reveal what's in your heart he says i can't throw the children's bread to the dogs and she she refused to be offended and she says yeah but even the dogs get the crumbs jesus marvels and says great is your faith woman your daughter's healed i wonder if sometimes we remain in our state or our family remains in a state because we are unwilling to give up our offense in order for to get our breakthrough but anyway but jesus is marvel's at their faith if you want jesus attention you get it one of two ways either have unbelief or have faith now when we think about faith we think of abraham right by the way abraham was not a blessed man because he was under the old testament he was blessed because he was a man who walked in faith right that's why the new testament talks about the faith of abraham so much you know he was remembered as one of the greatest men in history because he walked in faith he's just like you and i i mean abraham was just like you and i made out of the same clay you know he's human but yet he knew how to walk with god because he knew how to have faith how do you know god is not a respecter of persons if he blessed abraham because abraham had faith how many is going to bless your life your family if you have faith if we walk in faith he's not a respecter of persons but he is a respecter of faith god's attention our faith gets his attention the possibilities of your life as high as your faith will stretch to reach them faith cannot be overestimated it's it's not it's not this thing of well we can't talk you know we talk too much about faith we can't talk too much about faith because faith is what god responds to without faith nothing happens except worry fear and doubt faith is what moves god to action faith is what moves mountains like we're saying faith is the collateral of heaven it secures the promises of god how do we bring heaven to our realities through faith faith is the currency of heaven right it's the currency it's how we operate that's how we bring heaven to earth let me just quickly give you some foundational uh things from the word concerning faith i could do a whole week series on this but i'm just gonna give you about seven minutes right here we'll be done number one faith comes from god's word faith comes from god's word now if you've been here any length of time you know that right we talk about all time faith comes from god's word but here's what i want to emphasize on that is there is no other way for you to get faith except through the word right some people say well you know through my experience i now have faith no experience does not give you faith experience might give you confidence but it does not give you faith you know there's there's areas of my life you know i've gone through certain experiences i have confidence in that area you know god's been faithful god will be faithful i have confidence but it doesn't mean i have faith faith is a supernatural thing by faith is something that grows on the inside of us through the word so experience doesn't give you faith the word gives you faith and by the way some some people have experience but they have bad experience right like a pastor told me i have 30 years of experience and i'm like yeah one year of experience repeated 30 times right we want to stretch ourselves we want to have god experiences grow on that so uh experience doesn't give you faith but you know what else doesn't give you faith prayer does not give you faith i hear people say i pray that i have more faith well that's not going to happen now some of y'all are getting all worked up and on the inside i'd even call you a dog because you're like i've always prayed for faith i'm going to keep praying for faith well keep doing it if you like it but there is no place in the bible in the bible that says you get more faith by praying for it now some people mistake the gift of faith with faith what is the gift of faith the gift is the gift of faith is one of the nine gifts of the holy spirit just like any of the nine gifts of the holy spirit it comes on you for a purpose for a reason for a time then it lifts off of you right you understand what i'm saying prophetic gift comes on you you prophesy that he lives off of you you know all the other gifts same thing with faith somebody people cannot walk around saying i have the gift of faith so whatever i ever say is going to happen well they're just in la la land they don't understand how faith works well i have operated in the gift of faith at times but it comes on me for a re-purpose for a reason for a moment then it lifts off of me there's been times where i've been in a service praying for people and uh i'll grab somebody's cane or uh what do you call that crutch crane crutch whatever the crutch or grab out of the wheelchair and while i'm doing it my brain is saying what the heck are you doing right but i only do it when that comes on me and i do it and guess what happen they get healed because in that moment i know that i know that i know that i know beyond rashad or now it's going to happen it's called to give the faith now it doesn't just happen with healing sometimes it happens in other areas it usually happens with me in other areas but it comes on me right it's there's this faith that just drops in my heart it's done it just it's done now you know in uh was it february or so we were given another building right so in the midst of all this stuff i'm not looking for more buildings we get we got given another building in modesto series whatever you want to call it a series but modesto address so we call it modesta you know according to that prophetic word from james gaul but i wasn't looking for a building but they pretty much begged us to lease it for a dollar a year and i'm like all right because we felt it was the lord but honestly i haven't said much about it right i haven't said too much about it because to be honest you know why i didn't have the faith for it because i knew it was the direction the lord wants to go but i was like it's a big building it's a big property we've got to do a lot of stuff with it we got to raise a lot of money i don't have the faith for that i'm just trying to do all this other stuff right now i don't have the faith i i could figure out things i have faith for and i don't have faith so i just kind of like was working towards it but just kind of didn't say much about it so this week i was praying and then and this happens to me all the time just you know you kind of wait on the lord you pray and i was praying and lo and behold it fell down you know what fell down the faith for you and then i you know because i was avoiding even going there because i didn't have time and uh so all of a sudden i think this time wednesday or friday it just faith forward fell in my heart and on friday i'm like you know what i'm going to go up there and check out the new iron gates we put in so i go up there i unlock the building i go inside and i was telling chase our head of maintenance and he was there i said the building even looks smaller this is going to be easy now nothing changed but i'm faithful in my heart it's as good as done you get to be a part of it i'll tell you more about that but it's as good as done then we got to fill it up that's going to be good as done we're going to transform that area it's going to be as good as done right the faith for it falls in our hearts so faith doesn't come because we prayed for it faith doesn't come because we have experience faith comes because we hold on to the word and we just meditate on the word until boom either faith for it falls in our heart or our faith muscle grows see there's there are certain things that we have faith for all the time is because we've grown our faith muscle in that area all of you have certain things that it's easy for you to pray for those things you know what i'm talking about because you've built your faith in that area there's other areas you've got to build your faith on so how do we build our faith we build it by the word luke 5 5 jesus you know jesus is using is preaching from peter's belt and when he's done he says to him peter cast your simon cast your net on this other side catch some fish and peter says to him in luke 5 5 he says but simon answered him said master we have toiled all night and caught nothing nevertheless at your word i will let down the net now you remember peter was a professional fisherman he fished all night that's that was the best time for fishing he caught nothing then he gives jesus his belt to preach from then after jesus finished preaching he says okay cast your name can imagine if you're peter you're like you're a professional fisherman this is your business what you've done and a carpenter a contractor is telling you how to fish guys come on let's be real we'll be like dude you go make the table leave me to the fishing right but he says nevertheless at your word caster's net is the biggest catch he ever got it wasn't just the biggest catch it was a supernatural net breaking boat sinking catch that he ever got why because he obeyed the word even though it didn't make sense nevertheless at your word did you catch what i said earlier though he gave jesus his boat for the preaching of the gospel i believe when you give god what you have for the preaching of the gospel it positions you for the instructions that will give you a net breaking boat sinking harvest whatever it is you need in your life how many want a double portion this coming year i didn't say of what but what is it in your on your heart that god's given you that you want a double portion god gave me the key of that this week i'll share that in a couple weeks i'm telling you so we got you know listen today it's easier than ever to put the word in our life you could get it on your iphone your ipad on your computer get it for free you could be old school like me get it on paper but we could listen to it right on our on our apps it's easier more than ever to put the word in our heart that means it should be easier more than ever to have faith by the way did you know we never have a faith issue we have a word issue right because the faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word if i don't have faith it's not a faith issue it's a word issue because we know how to put the word in our life if bosworth and his book on healing says this is some people wonder why they can't have faith for healing they feed their body three hot meals a day and their spirit one cold snack a week my god the the word of god is food to our soul jesus said man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of god see faith in the word are linked together you can't separate them here's the second point faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word all right we already said that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god i shared this few weeks ago the word in the greek there is rhema faith comes by hearing and hearing by the rhema of god or the revelation word of god how does the written word become revelation word is when you're faithful to the written word see some people always want this special revelatory word but they're not faithful to the written word god is under no obligation to give you a revelation word if you're not faithful to the written word ripen are you with me did you hear me rippin's with me all right turlock let me give you another chance god is under no obligation to give you revelation word if you have not been faithful to the written word right now that's not a performance thing you know what the written word does the logos it tunes your spirit it tunes your spirit you know what god sounds like when you read his word right that's how you know if god's speaking to you or another spirit is speaking to you because the written word is the tuning fork to your spirit you become familiar with his voice a woman could call me right now on my cell phone and pretend as my wife i will not be fooled i know what she sounds like i've known her for over 30 years no one could put that kind of fear i mean no [Music] i remember i used to say i will never be unfaithful to my wife because one i fear god and two i fear her all right how do you think my wife could be intense i'll stop right there wisdom wisdom just kicked in i had proverbs this morning all right but i'll know her voice why because i'm familiar with her voice because i talk to her every day i talk to her every day i know her voice i mean when you hear his voice in the word every day you know his voice you know how he thinks you know how he talks come on does that make sense hearing comes by by the word and by the way second peter 1 4 says we become partakers of his divine nature through the promises of his word so when you take the promises of the word and you put them on the inside of you did you know your entire nature changes you go from the fallen nature to the born-again nature they go from the born-again unrenewed nature to the renewed nature i'm your entire life changes how the promises of god the word of god in you works in you however it changes things on the inside of you let me give you the third point it's in your born-again nature to have faith that's who you are did you know you were born to have faith some of you go around and say i just don't have enough faith i just don't have faith stop saying that that's not who you are your born-again nature was designed to have faith the most natural thing for you if you put the word in you is to have faith see if we don't exercise our faith in god we will exercise it in something or someone see the biggest robbery of the century is the robbery of faith and what has happened in our nation and what's happened and and by the way the bible calls unbelief evil right hebrews 3 12 says you are brethren let there be any uh be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief departing from the living god the unbelief is nothing to brag about unbelief is called evil this when the spies brought back the negative report remember when they brought back the negative report god called that the evil report there's nothing holy righteous about unbelief god calls it evil but i think what's happened is is this whole thing the last year and a half with covet is unleash the spirit of fear upon our nation and upon the world and the door has just opened in people's lives and uh how do you just like when you walk around town is you just could sense it on people they're just afraid and i'm not just talking about being afraid of covid i'm talking about they're afraid of everything now because this door is open in their life this spirit of fear has come into people's lives the greatest attack on our nation upon the nations of the world this last year and a half has not just been a virus it's been what the but the spiritual virus that has come into people's lives through a spirit of fear the virus will get over it i'm talking about the physical virus but what has it left behind in people's souls what is it left in the fear in people's lives because this thing's opened up now the lord told me this morning as as in in the first service and been praying for in all the services this morning that one of the things is done there's this foreboding spirit that's attached itself to people and i'm talking about christians and what you know what is a foreboding spirit is that is that spirit that sense that something's just going to go wrong here any day that the shoe is just going to drop how many are we talking about okay what else is going to go wrong that is called a foreboding spirit it is a prophet spirit and what i mean by that is is by that is trying to prophesy into your life if you have a foreboding spirit guess what you're doing you're opening the door to demonic spirits to bring that to pass in your life two people clapping for me in the turlock clapless and turlock all right help me out ripping too all right do you do you understand what i'm saying it is a defiling spirit you have to understand not everything that you ever feel is purely emotional it is also spiritual and not every thought you ever have is your thought the biggest tool that the enemy has is to sound like you and he says things in your mind and you think they're you but it's really a demon spirit sounding like you talking so that you could believe whatever he's saying into your heart and then it becomes a defilement that attaches itself to you and then begins to prophesy into your future and that is what the enemy is trying to do to believers today but we serve notice on that today in jesus name and it ends it ends you know if if fedex or ups or amazon shows up at my house today with a box of snakes i'm not going to sign for it return to sender return to sender just because the devil delivers it to you don't sign for it when those thoughts come i don't take that in jesus name you could have a back devil when he says you know your family is going to go through tragedy ah your family is going to go through try to treat the devil i don't receive that you know you're going to catch covet no i don't receive that give that why don't you get kova devil you know return to sender don't receive what the devil brings to your door take it back you are not hopeless and helpless you are more than a conqueror through christ jesus you are seated with him in heavenly places far above all principalities and powers and dominions and above every name that is named right you know we talk so much about having you know the believers authority and having authority over things but then at the first chance for us to exercise authority we act like victims not us but you know just general no foreboding spirit re-break that right now in jesus name come on stand to your feet if that's you this morning in this room and the devil's hit you has been hitting you i don't care if it's been a few weeks few days few months or this whole last year with a foreboding spirit i break that over you right now in jesus name if that's you lift your hand up right now that's you now for boating spirit like the shoe is going to drop what's going to go wrong next listen i'm telling you it's it's happening it's happening to so many people every service this morning a bunch of people that's been affecting i break that over you right now in jesus name brothers and sisters those of you in ripon come on you too those of you online i break that over you in jesus name devil get your hands off of them right now i peel that defilement that attachment off of you in jesus name i commanded to go i commanded to go now of course after we break this you're going to have to exercise your authority and and command it to stay off of you but i break that off of you now in jesus name we're not going to be like job fearing for the worst thing to happen to us we're not going to be like job trying to make fear sacrifices before something bad happens our future is not determined by what the devil says our futures determine what what god has already said over our life i know the plans that i have for you for to prosper you to bless you so lord we thank you so father i pray for a deliverance right now to hit every single person right now who lifted their hand whether they're in this room in ripon or watching online in jesus name we thank you father we thank you father we thank you father we thank you for the peace of god we thank you for the shalom of god you are jehovah shalom the lord our peace and by the way peace is not just lack of conflict you know what peace is peace the shalom literally means nothing missing nothing broken nothing missing nothing broken how could you have a foreboding spirit when you know the god of the nothing broken nothing missing is your god nothing broken nothing missing so lori thank you for that right now this morning in jesus name in jesus name we're going to come around the table of the lord right now we're going to receive communion together remember the the the table of the lord is the covenant of what jesus has done for us the healing the restoration the deliverance the life it's all around that table of the lord and as a church we don't believe you have to be a member of harvest to receive communion with us maybe you're a guest this morning you're welcome to have communion with us the only thing we ask that you be a member of is to be a member of the body of christ in other words if you were to die tonight you're not certain that you're going to go to heaven you've got to receive jesus before you take communion this morning make things right with god if you need to make things right with god just simply say this jesus i ask you to come into my heart forgive me of my sins and i make you the lord of my life you say that's all it takes that's all it takes past pastor alex he's going to come he's going to lead us but that's all it takes see god did not make it hard for you to go to heaven jesus did the heavy lifting he left he was lifted up on a cross he's just asking you to receive what he's already done for you so if you pray that prayer if you receive christ into your heart pastor i ask him to tell you your next step if you need a communion cup if you didn't get one on your way in just lift your hands our team will get one to you but come on if you get things right with god just do that right now just in your own words just say jesus i believe in you pastor alex thank you jesus thank you jesus just

that which i also delivered to you that the lord jesus on the same night in which he was betrayed he took bread and when he had given thanks he broke it and said takey this is my body which is broken for you do this in remembrance of me i love what the amplified says there it says do this in affectionate remembrance of me such a love for what jesus has done when you have the revelation through his word as pastor ron was talking how his body was broken so that you and i could be whole how that he took stripes on his back his flesh was torn open so that you could have healing jesus paid for everything that you could ever need he became the payment with his body and all you have to do is receive it and as paul did he gave thanks before he broke and ate i think it deserves some thanksgiving today to thank the lord jesus for what he did and to do show forth him coming again you know it goes on to say in that passage that many that eat and drink unworthily are eating and drinking damnation on themselves many are sick and body and weak and many have died because they have not discerned the lord's body but i believe the opposite is true when you discern the lord's body or set apart as holy the body of christ and that what that means is basically your brothers and sisters everybody here they're in the building or out of the building they claim the name of the name of christ they are a part of the body of christ so to discern the body is to treat others with the love of jesus christ to do unto others as you would have them do unto you and then another side of this is recognizing that you yourself are the body of jesus christ jesus is not walking around anymore in physical form but you have become that body in physical form so i just believe today that the body of christ is going to undergo a transformation process as we partake of the elements that healing is going to be found wholeness soundness of mind i believe even addictions are going to be broken as we partake of the communion i've already seen it i thank you father as you have the lord's body in hand let's just give thanks as paul did father i thank you the body of jesus christ that was broken for me and us so that we could be found to be made whole again our identity to me made new and to be given a new lease on life i thank you for the stripes jesus you took so that i could be healed because your word says by his stripes we are and were healed i thank you that as we partake of the body of jesus that it flushes out removes anything that is not of you in jesus name let's break and eat together [Music] the apostle paul goes on to say that in the same manner he took the cup after supper saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood and this do as often as you drink it in remembrance of me or in affectionate remembrance for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the lord's death until he comes i heard this quote this past week i thought it was pretty good it said normal is not coming back again jesus is so as we eat and drink we are proclaiming to the world and even to our brothers and sisters that jesus is coming again father i thank you for the blood of jesus that through the blood it sealed our new agreement our new covenant with you i thank you for this blood that was for the remission or removal of all of our sins so we can stand before you a holy and righteous god with you not seeing us but seeing jesus because we are in him now i thank you for forgiveness wholeness i thank you that as we eat and drink we are showing that you are coming again soon in jesus name let's drink together thank you jesus [Music] thank you jesus i'm gonna ask you this time the prayer team if you would come [Music] please as we do every service we want to make room for the holy spirit to encounter you in a tangible way the bible says this in the book of james if any among you are sick let him call forth to the elders of the church and the prayer of faith we've talked a lot about faith today the prayer of faith will raise them up and it goes as far as to say if there have any sins that even the sins will be forgiven in them if you need special prayer you need a touch from god you just want someone to agree with you in prayer come forward we want to lay hands on you we want to partner with you and see god do the impossible because we serve the god that is always victorious we're going to worship with one last song let's worship the lord [Music]
