supplication and in one accord that about 120 believers gathered together in jerusalem to witness a sound from heaven that came forth as a rushing mighty wind it was there that about three thousand souls were gladly baptized in jesus name and received the baptism of the holy ghost it was through prayer and praise that the prison walls were shaken and the very foundation of the earth were disrupted it is through prayer that an holy spirit takes light curses sicknesses and death are often reversed yes prayer subdues opposition and still many storms many of us can testify of our own experiences when our victory and deliverance came through prayer yes prayer worked prayer works and prayer will always work it is no coincidence that in recognition of the time in the 76 conference of the united pentecostal church of jamaica focuses on prayer using the acronym push pray until something happens so as we welcome you all to this 76 gathering of the upcg we encourage you to push pray for something supernatural to happen indeed it has already begun over 15 souls have already been baptized with the holy ghost and with fire there is a card that called for the harvesting of the lost souls for the kingdom a call for revival throughout our country so as we are gathered in person and on various platforms we entreat the lord to fill this tabernacle our tabernacle to fill our homes to fill this nation fill this world fill our lives we pray that just as he did he will be here to do it again for something must happen something will happen push pray until something happens push pray

reading the first scripture taken from the book of luke luke chapter 18 reading from verse one through to eight and you can read as i read and he spoke a parable unto them to this end that men ought to pray always to pray and not to faint saying there was in a city a judge which feared not god neither regarded man and there was in a widow in that city and she came unto him saying avenge me of mine adversary and he would not for a while but afterward he said within himself though i fear not god nor regard man yet because this widow trouble at me i will avenge her lest by her continual coming she weary me and the lord said hear what that unjust judge saith and shall not god avenge his own elect which cried day and night unto him though he bear along with them i tell you that he will avenge them speedily nevertheless when the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth praise the lord praise the lord the second lesson is taken from first thessalonians 5 reading from verse 1 to verse 9. but of the times and the seasons brethren we have no need that i write unto you for yourselves know perfectly that the day of the lord so cometh as a thief in the night for when they shall say peace and safety then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape but ye brethren are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief ye are all the children of light and the children of the day we are not of the night nor of darkness therefore let us not sleep as do others but let us watch and be sober for they that sleep sleep in the night and they that be drunken are drunken in the night but let us who are of the day be sober putting on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation for god

reverend york luke york who is moderating tonight god bless you to your national superintendent bishop oh god mccoy my good friend who performed the ceremony yesterday and what a beautiful performance it was as he led us as he prayed and as he ministered the word of god upcj you have a man of god leading your body at this time and you ought to pray for him i don't see minister maxine but god oh there she is god bless you god bless you i'm so happy to greet the entire board of the upc j the pastor of this church reverend lang leroy lane god bless you god bless you and to i don't see her sister joan that's your sister drone right often times in the past they would mistake her for my wife sister stewart they were going to the same church at mape and they look alike says australia where do you stand please and sister john would you stand just look at them amen the lord bless you but i'm so glad to be here this is the first time i'm speaking outside of pgt since yesterday and i take it to be a great honor to be invited to give a greeting to your 76th anniversary and for me this is a seminal moment a moment in history that will remind me like nehemiah i'm doing a great work and i cannot calm down first chronicles 7 or 12 radha and verse 32 says of the sons of issachar who had understanding of the times to know what israel ought to do their chiefs were 200 and all their brethren were at their command today we need some children of issachar to understand the times this is not a time for reformation this is a time for transformation a time for the renewing of the mind this is not a time for reformation theology this is a time for restoration theology to be preached from every hilltop and to every valley justice 25 125 says echoes some of the most wrenching words in the whole bible the last verse of judges 21 is a frightening verse in the bible and it says in those days there was no king in israel everyone did that which was right in his own eyes upcj after 76 years will you allow this to happen no you cannot and by god's grace and mercy i am in this fight with you and together we are going to win there is a pervasive subculture that seeks to dismantle every norm on social order there are those who subscribe to this culture and we call them cultural icons but those of us who seek the path of biblical holiness and believe in the distinction of the sexes we are labels as cultists but there's a war raging between the invisible and spiritual world and the visible and the physical world and god has chosen the church as that agency to lead in the spiritual fight we must impact the culture by engaging the culture with the best alternative available this life-changing gospel in this pentecostal apostolic message in the book acts of leadership book number one many of your pastors would be acquainted with that book on page 19 we read and i quote in finishing strong steve farrar quotes the research finding that only about one out of ten who start the christian ministry race will cross the finishing line consider that 10 out of 100 who started this race is going to finish pause dated ye did run well who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth this persuasion comment not of him that call at you a little level levnet the whole lump galatians 5 7-9 for what measures are we using to ensure that we will be one of the ten he encourage us to practice psalm 101 2-3 i will behave myself wisely in a perfect way oh when will thou come unto me i will walk within my house with a perfect heart i will say no wicked thing before mine eyes i hate the work of them that turn aside it shall not cleave to me and in writing to timothy in first timothy 4 16 the new living translation says it this way keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you keeping the faith is a daily decision it requires discipline paul said to the church in corinthians in first corinthians 9 26 to 27 therefore i run thus not with uncertainty thus i fight not as one who beats the ear but i discipline my body and bring it unto subjection lest when i preach to others i myself should become disqualified upcj proverbs 23 23 says buy the truth and do not sell it buy the truth and do not sell it a third time buy the truth and do not sell it all wisdom and instruction and understanding hear what drew says in verse 3 beloved while i was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation i found it necessary to write to you exalting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints people of god i want to remain conservative enough to stay with the old truths and liberal enough to use new methods but someone has advised that we should never remove offense unless we check to see why it was there in the first place upcj ministers and leaders and saints you must be accountable to god you must be accountable to your wife you must be accountable to your husband you must be accountable to your family you must be accountable to your church board you must be accountable to the saints you must be accountable to the community in which you reside and last of all but not least you must be accountable to the organization to which you belong and you must be accountable to yourself i say to us today you have a rich heritage stop looking outside a w thousand in his book the crucified life has a chapter he titled a discontent with the status quo in which they looked at the stained glass window of a church that was covered over with dust and he said here i quote the dust of the centuries gets on them and becomes a part of their beliefs and part of their practices so they are hardly able to tell which of god and which is simply the accumulation of tarnish from the centuries he went on to say that is exactly what we have done in our time do not imagine for a minute that we have been without our prophets and seers who have stood and warned us and tried to bring us back to god god still has those who are not content for superficial worship they are not all of one denomination but they are discontent with surface religion they long to recapture the true inwardness of the faith and they insist upon reality they do not want anything artificial they want to know that whatever they have is real they would rather it be small and real than to be large and unreal a living dog is better than a dead lion upcj it is better to have a simple religion that is real than to have a big ornate ceremony that is only hollow and empty i address you all tonight and i feel a burden because we are in the last days and many are taken unto themselves teachers with itching ears but you pcj you are apostolic in experience of oh you are pentecostal rather inexperienced and your apostolic induction do not let anyone rob you of this please understand the time and pray until something happens focus on jesus this world is not our home these are perilous times run the real race and end well understand the time and let us push push and press towards the mark that is set before us let us forget the things that are behind us let us stand up for righteousness let us stand up for godliness there are some who will be among us who will not speak the truth but we will buy the truth and sell it not we are baptized in jesus name we will continue to speak in tongues as the holy ghost came we are baptized we are the believers and nothing can change that focus on jesus god bless you in jesus name somebody ought to lift your hands right now come on all over this auditorium receive the word receive a word hallelujah thank you jesus what a word what a word what a word what a warning what admin admonition hallelujah so help us god so help us god come on so help us god go help us god we will buy the truth and we will not sell it hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah in the name of jesus

thousand is that elderly lady almost 80 years old and she had thirty thousand right there in the envelope praise jesus can we pray and believe in god for a million dollars towards a 76th annual

tell you thanks lord in jesus name and do you believe that god is going to bless you tonight as you give leave your hands and receive that blessing in jesus name because it is more blessed to give

church of jamaica and what a journey it has been 76 long years oh but god but god somewhere to say if it had not been for the lord that was on our side then so many things that have happened and so the person who the lord will use to open this conference of the world tonight is none other than one of our assistant national superintendents he has responsibility for departmental operations brothers and sisters ladies and gentlemen as we lift our heads and worship the king of kings and the lord of lords with anticipation from for a rhema from the lord as we worship the lord let me welcome none other than reverend harold crooks with the word of the lord god bless him as we pray up in jesus precious name [Music] hallelujah having that being for god mercy it is possible that we could be a patient at the public hospital it is also possible that we could be a patient at the university hospital or we could be a patient at a bellevue hospital but because of the mercies of god we are standing tonight in the house of god to praise him and to worship him and i believe tonight that the devil is upset when a squire writes could we lift our hands over here and just worship him one more time how great is our god hallelujah he's ready for our praise from the rise of the sun to the going down lord bless you may be seated just a liquor i would like to extend greetings to our national superintendent and his wife bishop orgot mccoy my assistant superintendent bishop francis and his wife my secretary treasurer pastor calibrated russia and his wife members of the national born presbyters pastors saints to the conference in session to those who are watching from various platform i greet you all tonight in the wonderful name of jesus there's no name as sweet and as powerful and as wonderful as the sweet name of jesus also to my wife carol i'm blessed i have other half and i also have a better health unfortunately unfortunately i'm also a twin and my partners are female and i give girl thanks for her thank you god thanks to my wife and my family and the church family i'm gonna invite you to stand and if i read long i do not really have to preach long amen so i choose to read long so i'll be reading tonight from 2nd samuel chapter 9 and we're reading from verse 1 to the verse 13 and we read it alternately second samuel chapter 9 from verse 1 to verse 13. and we're reading alternately and david said is there yet any that is left of the house of saul that i may show him kindness for jonathan sick and the king said is still not yet any of the house of saul that i may show kindness of god unto him and zipper said unto the king jonathan has yet a son which is lame on his feet and king david sent and fletched him out of the house of makkah the son of amil from lulibar and david said unto him fear not for i will surely show the kindness for jonathan thy father's sake and restore thee all the land of saul thy father thou shall eat bread at my table continually then the king called jesus saul's servant and said unto him i have given unto thy master son all that pertaining to saul and to all his house then set zebra unto the king according to all that my lord the king have commanded his servants who shall thy servant do and as for me was it said the lord he shall eat at my table as one of the king's son can we praise the lord like to share tonight the topic united pentecostal church of jamaica what do we bring to the table of god we need to push a liquor harder let assemble the oxford superintendent to pray as we bow our heads together oh lord our lord our excellent is thy name in all the earth father as your servant stands before the sacred desk to bring to your people that which you have inspired and laid on his heart we pray lamb of god the self will be utterly slain let the anointing of god rest on him speak through him holy one as an open conduit mighty god of daniel we pray that every spirit that is not of thee will be bound and rendered powerless and ineffective lamb of god it is not my might no by power but it is by your spirit bless and use your serpent now to your glory in the name of jesus christ in jesus name in jesus name the lord bless you may be seated united pentecostal church of jamaica what do we bring to god's tv in the physical realm when we are invited for dinner and to appear to the table we ensure our hands are washed and coming to god's table we must also ensure that our hands and our heart is clean oh praise the name of the lord it is very important because if we eat with unclean hands we can contaminate the food and we can affect ourselves physically much more if we come to the table of god with hearts that is not right we can also affect our heart spiritually or praise the name of the lord and therefore we have come to a crisis in the history of our time that we are not careful we become comfortable in our own mind but i've learned that everyone that comes to god must come with something and i'm proposing to us tonight that we need to come to jesus with worship there is something about worship worship breaks the all right worship invite the presence of god worship move god i want us to understand tonight that we do not worship based on our feeling we worship because it is a requirement we worship because it's a condition we worship because of what god has done for us i have a responsibility to worship him and praise the name of the lord and sometimes we allow condition to prevent us from worship but let me share with you with a blind man by the name of blind bathimos who stopped by the wayside begging but when he heard that jesus was passing his way oh hallelujah he started to worship jesus thou said of david have mercy upon me and there were those who wanted to shut him down even sometimes brothers and sisters in our circle there are those among us who do not want to worship but they have a problem with your worship they have a problem with your dance they have a problem with your soul what is not about them is about what god has done for us oh hallelujah who praise the name of the lord and could you imagine a blind man reaching forth to god and we are able to see physically and we are also able to see spiritually but something is hampering our worship oh hallelujah blind by team us get the attention of jesus and i believe united pentecostal church of jamaica it is time for us to get god's attention i am tired of reading about miracles i praise the name of the lord i'm tired about reading about a move of god we need to see miracles we need to see the power of god manifest we need to see the revelation and demonstration of the holy ghost oh hallelujah a praise from the name of the lord there was a time in pentecost when sin woke up in zion zion trump there was some mammal who present the name of allah will be moved by the power of god we have become darwin we have become silent we are in the power of god we need a move of god somebody got to push the bible said that god jesus in the flesh called publis somebody said he called it thee and the bible said blind cast away his court there are some things that we have to cast away or press the name of the lord if we are going to come to the table of god there are some things we got to lay down we get caught sometimes into a world filling materialistic things and our focus is about building families building houses and this is a signal that god gave to israel when israel leaves egypt and they were going over into jericho god said about praying that when you go over to jericho and when you have obtained houses and when you obtain land you are going to forget the lord that god and easter as a nation forget their god what do you bring to the table we must bring worship it is so easy for us to worship god in the century but the worship i'm speaking about is when you are in your own corner or praise the name of the lord when you're on your own private space you're able to pull down a praise and worship just like one sister who have lost her money she did not care about those who are senior don't talk but in her mind she was desperate because she wanted to find back her money so she started to worship she wanted to have money so she called upon god god needs some radical pentecostal to worship him in this generation god needs those who stand up and demonstrate the power of god is it that we are ashamed of the gospel the gospel is brought in power and after 76 years there is no more fear we must demonstrate the power of god the prism name of the lord the next point i want to bring if we are going to come to the table of god we must have an action there must be an action plan bible said that there was a woman who had an issue of blood for 12 years but she let's stay home with her sickness she heard about jesus and she put the action plan in place she came into the press i believe that she was not physically strong but in spite of her weaknesses she decided if i could only what touched him of his garment i shall be me at all it is present time it is pushing time we must put an action in place it's one thing to repeat the word push pray until something happened but our plan got to go in place we got to be able to rise up 2 a.m 3 a.m we got to change from the norm because this needs radical actions jesus needs individuals who have an action plan a praise in the name of the lord but i was known in the text that i've read that saul make a covenant agreement with jonathan and therefore david want to fulfill that covenant agreement we all have a covenant agreement with jesus and i want you to know we did not choose him but he have chosen us and he have obtained us for himself for his glory is not about us it's about god having compassion and mercy and select us in a crisis time and some of us he are so blessed because we have family members who are not saved why did god choose you from your siblings why did god call you out of your family because he loved you and he went into a covenant agreement and therefore you have a responsibility to worship him therefore david remember when mr boshi came in as much as he was in because the bible said the maid run with him and she felt and both of his legs became lame oh hallelujah but david said to mr oh i have went into a covenant agreement and from now on mr bushet you're going to sit at the king's table i want you to know that when the king's son sit at the table and when you looked and missy he looked just like the king's son our praise the name of the lord brothers and sisters we are blessed because the bible has known that this certain woman came to jesus having a daughter with the crisis but jesus said unto her it is not neat for me to tell the children great and to cast it to dogs but she said yellow the dog is under the table i want you to understand tonight that god has moved us from under the table to put us up to sit around the table things i usually do i do them no more place i usually go i go there no more and now i can declare beloved nor are we the sons of god and it does not yet appear what we shall be but we know we shall be liking haku what are you complaining about you're sitting now at the table of king jesus oh praise the name of the lord the bible have us to know that when god take israel out of egypt oh and they were in the wilderness god prevented before them god sent down a special break from heaven known as manna with israelites they were just complaining about this breed oh when god or when god set his table oh don't complain about the food that god said or praise the name of the lord can i preach to somebody you see when god set his table you got to have a spiritual appetite to eat what is set there oh lord it is not men who set the table but david said don't prepare us a paper before me in the presence of my enemies the anointings my head will not it is god who set the table that those who come into sanctuary and you want to select what fit you but when god set the table you better eat oh marco shantoma you better have the right struck to eat and to digest did you know sometimes that those who come into the center but because because they eat up too much of the junk food oh lord they do not have the appetite for the real food [Applause] the doctors advise us that fast food is something that will kill you it is something that will slow you down or praise the name of the lord but when you order the real food the batteries are different god sometimes has some real food on the table and therefore paul and right into the corinthians then paul would say you cannot eat at the table of the lord and eat at the table of the devil and demon at the same time you got to know which table you are eating wrong and the problem we have sometimes when we come into the presence of the lord we mix up or eating so the preacher preached the holy ghost is moving but you is not moving because something has filled you up you know in a pattern in the days when my parents they were living in west poland and we normally go down once per year especially christmas time was my mom's anniversary and we usually say to the rest of siblings some you carry chicken you carry pork you carry vegetables and whatever they carry or praise the name of the lord we all put it together on the table but the journey towards mulan is a long one so i have to ensure that on my journey to westmoreland i do not stop and have some junk food that when i get to the real table i lose my appetite oh lord it is your responsibility child of god to protect your spiritual appetite because if you don't have an appetite to eat at the table of god you are going to live the same way you can it is rapture time and therefore i got to fix my appetite i need some prayer i need some fasting that i can get my appetite right that i have a desire for the word of god something's about to shake can you feel the atmosphere the war in ukraine is not just something just happening oh lord god is anyone was saying oh god is about to change the status of this world the next event and god's calendar is the rapture of the church oh lord i want to invite you brothers and sisters to eat up everything you can eat from the table of god the pharisees and the lawyers invite jesus to a table and while jesus sits at the table there came a man and he have a spirit of jokesiness and the pharisees and the lawyers watch to see what jesus will do did you know sometimes in church there are those who come to watch you know sometime in church we are spectators some cannot allow themselves to get sweaty so i can't clap too long because if i clap too long you see i have this stress of this suit i want to be another day so you minimize the worship i want some radical worshiper oh lord who will worship god who will forget about your garment and that you will give god your glory and his praise because he's good and that was one of the reason why the disciples could not understand mary magdalene who purchased alabaster box for 300 pence and take her here to dry the feet of jesus because she was possessed with seven demons how many demons some of us have when we came to the house of god and god washes us and god cleanse us and refuse to worship and refuse to praise him god needs some worshipers we must eat from the table the appetite must be right if your appetite is not right you are going to sit at the table and watch others eating sometime in the case of family dinner there are those who do not have the appetite to eat so they raise a subject matter of destruction emotion tamar i've come to understand that church is a place that can distract you if you're not focused her motion told him keep your eyes on jesus it's not about your friend is it about the next person beside you it's about you and your relationship with god what do you bring united pentecostal church of jamaica to the table something is about to break the rapture is about to take place this may humble believe that god is not coming back for a week church he's coming back for a church that is blazing with fire so we better get it right and start to eat the right food hold on it is said most of our elders today who lives to 90s and 100 is just because of the type of food that they ate while they were growing up the younger generation lived on junk food don't have time to cook or if they do cook and go into the fridge and then a microwave and i go to another drama of event not fresh food but when god gave moses the tabernacle in the wilderness and the tabor of schuberth god said to the priests that fresh bread must be on the table i want somebody to know that every time that you're coming to the house of god there is fresh word there's a fresh word but i must be able to eat of the world that i can grow in the power of god i must bring an appetite to the table welcome when i bring an appetite to the table i must have a focus as to what i want the table spread but remember you have to feed yourself at the table when i notice it is only babies that are being supported and fed by someone else but as long as you're a grown adult you got to feed yourself when god gave you the holy ghost and you baptized in jesus name you now have the responsibility to feed yourself under the garden and the leadership of the pastor but it's your responsibility to feed yourself therefore coming to one simple question we must not be only hearers of the world but we must be doers of the world the church has been filled with many actors today we dressed up to me look nice and we look good but outside of church service we are a different human being we got to change the way we live we got to change the way we talk because i gotta bring something new to the table that i can get the attention of jesus in closing this table that is spread it caused god his life god laid down his life for you and for me at this table and all god is saying i now present my table before you eat serve me and live even the prison system there are those who decide that they want to go on hunger strike and even church there are those who decide pastor you can't tell me anything i will choose what i want to eat and what i do not want to eat so the church has become a common ground of individual with a spirit of dictatorship want to dictate to the one who made them but i said god help me to be humble lord anything you say lord i just want to follow your voice god needs some followers we have too many leaders in the system how could shuttle what we need is followers that god can mold us and make us in the vessel that he wants us to be so missy bushette sit at the table his legs under the table was affected god is not looking at your defect god is not looking under the table at your past god is looking oh lord in the upright of you as you sit at the table and you embarrass into the food that god has prepared for you because he said you are going to eat on my table continually in closing i hope tonight we walked away with a new perspective in our mind that is my responsibility and it is your responsibility to eat whatever god place on his favor hallelujah can we lift our hands let us worship him hallelujah hallelujah jesus jesus jesus jesus tabor is set for a change in the atmosphere you know one of the nervous feeling i always have is after the rupture the many pentecostals will be still here and you have to give an answer how is it that the church is gone and you are still here because you did not eat at the table i'll come on street there is no different hell can stop you from eating god's savior in spite of weaknesses we can shake up those weaknesses and still eat at god's savior and as much as miserable was lame in his leg it did not stop him from eating at the king's table i don't know what the enemy has done to lame you one way or the other or to lay me one way or the other but that does not stop me not stop you from eating at the king's table you got to push push a little bit harder push belong in your feeling push beyond circumstances oh push that effort prayer take habits because to be honest with you sometime you pray and it is if your prayer just hit the roof and it's coming back at you but pray until you break you commotion tolerable pray even when you don't feel like praying pray even when you don't feel god but because i have a responsibility to pray i'm gonna pray in the heart push until you get a breach in closing in final for most of us when we retire from the holy ghost we should we push we cry hallelujah require jesus oh we put some effort to it why we relax after we have been filled with the holy ghost because we did not understand the principle that when it comes to the kingdom of god the kingdom of god we got to take it back for us so it's a constant pushing or praise the name of the lord the enemy the enemy is trying to slow you down but i've said old set in a long time ago you can't catch me again because this god loved me so much he loved you so much he wrapped his arms around you god wants you to be saved in jesus name and there's no devil that can take you out of the hand of god god bless you in jesus name let's stand together everyone please i'm gonna ask the praise seem to prepare to do this old song modern times have brought us many comfort but before they start we're just going to ask our neighbor just excuse me for a moment i have an appointment with praise just ask your neighbor excuse me for a moment there's an assignment i must meet tonight right across the seven regions right now encourage every brother every sister whatever your designation every person on the in the diaspora oh lamb of god oh lamb of god we worship you united pentecostal church of jamaica it cannot be business as usual so much is at stake hallelujah to the lamb of god lift your hands unto him o great god of heaven [Music] [Music] asks a question [Music] from the top one more time modern times [Music] luxury people living in wealth [Music] the questions [Music] the best know me more than me is my child [Music] is [Music] precious lord i love you more foreign [Music] as i deny [Music] thee [Music] oh hallelujah hallelujah [Music] one more time my [Applause] precious [Music] foreign [Music] yes foreign [Music] right across the seven regions and even in the virtual space we're gonna be making an altar called for all backsliders for all those who want to walk with the lord that is whatever took place and caused you to have put down the cross the second altar appeal will be to all those who have heard the call of god to salvation over and over and over again but somehow you somehow just never see the seriousness of it and if you're here and you're never baptized in the name of the lord jesus christ you've never received the baptism of the holy ghost through the initial evidence or speaking with other tongues as the spirit gives utterance and we're opening this altar to you and we'll open the altars right across all 14 parishes and even the virtual space to you but there's a third one i like to call to all the ministers and to all the pastors who probably you feel glory lamb of god jesus you've done so much you've given so much but it seems you've now experienced the law of diminishing return and you're wondering why why should i continue to give elijah found himself there and he decided out of frustration and depression he wished himself dead but his purpose was not yet finished hila masha is there someone who feel like shown in the towel glory i'm opening this altar to you you're doing well but all you are seeing is agitation and negativism you go into the motion but the zeal and the zest is not there anymore let's have an encounter with worship what are we bringing to the table holy one of israel that's one last time pristine but in a very low almost a whisper tone you can make your answer anywhere in this building and all the buildings love is though me more than these glory we're gonna be entering into a seasonal prayer before we close lamb of god jesus [Music] my chances [Music] precious [Music] [Music] two more times [Music] [Applause] [Music] you're [Applause] [Music] precious [Applause] [Music] [Music] more the last time now worship as they say [Music] [Music] you're cold [Music] please [Music] [Applause] if you would like to kneel or stand or lie face ward doesn't really matter something has been ignited this first night and it requires an appropriate response the song depicts a time in the apostle peter's life he had gotten discouraged gotten despondent he made a mistake he failed the lord he said to the others i go fishing he said if you go fishing we are going to they toiled all night and caught nothing we're gonna pray just two quick points while they were there all night caught nothing in the early morning along came the master walking on the shores children have you any meat no cast your net on the right side of the ship you know the rest of the story history has it that the same apostle peter got in a basket have you ever felt like you're a basket case he got in a basket it was led over a wall and he was escaping while he was escaping for his life he fell asleep somewhere according to the historical record and he had a vision that he saw the lord and when he passed him he said simon i'm going to calvary again whenever he was called simon he knew the lord was sending a message to him so this time he got up and he went back into the city they arrested him and they were about to crucify him but he begged with mercy please do not crucify me the way you crucified my master i am not worthy and so they turned him upside down and they crucified him we're gonna pray right now we're gonna repent before the lord as the largest apostolic oneness apostolic organization in this island we make no boast about that we have had a fair share of ups and downs and ins and outs but the lord has favored the united pentecostal church of jamaica and that's the single most reason why we're still in existence let's pray right now each and every one let's use this time wisely righteous and eternal god thou art worthy o lord to receive glory and honor and praise not unto us unto us but unto your great name lord we give glory and honor and majesty we thank you for this first night lord jesus christ and we thank you for the word that you gave to your servant but lord as we are here in your presence and right across the seven regions mighty god where do we go from here father we ask you right now to search us to wash us to cleanse us to sanctify us lord oh saul of tarsus when he had the first encounter with you on the road to damascus he responded to that appeal by asking what will thou have me to do father we understand that it's never about us and lord your divine favor is all that we have to reminisce on the lord we ask you all our ministers all of members firstly all our ministers all our pastors and all the different rank and file of leadership at the end of it all all we desire to be his servants oh but when we have done all that we should do we should say we are unprofitable servants we've only done that which was our duty to do father in the name of jesus as we cried to you we present all those who have left the fold whether they are apostates or backsliders or just got discouraged and decided to cool out mighty god you've sent a word to each and every person oh love of god but the word came to jacob but light it upon israel and so lord we ask you this night in the name of jesus where do we go from here what faith is joining here oh touch our hearts and guide your lips and purr through the grace of god the lord will cast aside these fears we've known and lift ourselves from the depth of deep despair lead us through the darkness and through each gloomy day take our hands precious lord and help us along the way mighty card we present lord from the newest convert to the oldest saint before you oh we remember that we are just a part of this
