The Impossible

Well, I want to begin by if I can't just

commending Jonathan. I don't think i've seen anyone work so

hard in church since like the apostle Paul just running

around he said to me, he said, I eat it

like EQ your microphone at the start. So just just

chat some rubbish. So, Jonathan, you've not heard me a

prief before. Most of it is me chatting rubbish, so

we should be all right. But okay, I was worried

because my ears are bigger than Dave's. Oh we okay,

We're good, Yeah, brilliant, excellent. Well, a couple of things,

just to mention slightly offended. If I'm honest, you've stolen

our niece. Yeah, you stole Annie Carris. And then on

the day when I thought I would be the most

exotic visitor today you bring Americans in as well, So

thanks for that, because we're from Yorkshire, which is pretty exotic.

And how last time I came, I promised I would

talk slowly, try not to speak too much broad Yorkshire.

This time i'm here, I've broke my translator with me.

So if I do just start speaking broad Yorkshire, he'll

jump up. She'll start translating. Maybe a bit of sign

language for us as well. She's brilliant. Okay, well, yeah,

it's been a while. It's been a couple of years

since I've been her last And for those of you

who don't know me, as they mentioned, we the church

in Sheffield and an incredibly insecure preacher. Just gonna put

that out there for you. Okay. So what I need

is we have these rules in Sheffield in Grace Church

that helped me out right, and that is, if someone

feels like clapping in the preach, that's fine, but if

one person does it, you've all got to do it, okay,

because it's really a weirdness. One goes and they just

wish they hadn't started it. Okay, that's wrong. Number one.

The other rule is that you have to like give

me some feed back of some kind. So you know,

if if you like saying Amen, praise the Lord, if

you're really spiritual, you can say hallelujah as well. That

would be really really helpful. Then that's not a practice,

that's just clap amazing. You've done this before, definitely, and

online if you're tuning in just and I've be a

bit late to the game and you're just tuning in

and just let you know. And if you're wondering why

we're clapping, it's because I just said something really really good. Okay,

tune in for more. Ah right, great, awesome. Well you're

you're in the middle of a series about miraculous times,

and I think that's really really apps for you guys

right now. Genuinely merely a follow you online all the time,

Like almost every Sunday, we tune in, usually just before bed,

we'll watch we'll watch it back just to keep up

to date what you guys are doing. And it's just

it's just brilliant to see what God's doing in this place.

It really really is. And even just from an outside perspective,

I can just see some of the changes over this

this last couple of years, even with the online stuff

that you guys are doing, just looks amazing. I hearing

great stuff about the student ministry, although we take credit

for that because of we broke Carris into your life,

you know, hearing about small groups, hearing about the academy,

hearing about you guys being involved in fasting, and hearing

about you guys just even just talking now already about

hiring a bigger space in this place. When I came

to you last time, you were still at Virginia Lodge,

and to see you all this is just fantastic. It

really really is. And I hope you're really proud of

your church because it's a great church. It really is.

And when I was when I was here last in September,

I think it was twenty twenty three, I said at

the beginning of my message that I felt like God

was saying that He's on the move in this place.

In fact, I encouraged you with something that Clem Ferris

if some of you I know some of you know him,

encouraged us with field and I said, put out more

chairs as I get ready for more people and probably

more problems like that comes with people than it. And

God's definitely moved this place since then. And I felt,

as I was just praying for you guys before I

came here, that God wanted just to add on to

that there's definitely more. There's definitely more for you guys,

more good things, and also that I think that God

would encourage you in this season to not stop celebrating

what He's doing. It's really important for you guys. Here

we go, oh there, we go. So it's been a

bit of an interesting year for me this year. For

those who don't know, I mean some of you might

have even been around when this happened. Like Dave said,

I've known for many, many years, and going back over

I think it was about twenty five years this year,

I think it is. I had a car accident and

it was a pretty serious one and it meant that

I couldn't walk for five years and I had a

lot of pain to deal with, a lot of recovery

to deal with, and it was a very interesting time

in my life and I thought i'd moved on from that,

and then this year I've had to go back and

have some further surgeries. So I'm number sixteen so far

clocking them up, got one more to go. So it's

been a bit of an interesting time for me. I

don't like kind of sitting still. I don't like kind

of the process of sitting and recovering right, and so

it's been quite difficult. But I realized during this recent

recovery period that I have a trigger. And you know,

if you know what trigger is something that you know

someone says or does it it just sets you off,

just you react to it a week, can't help it.

It came about when I was in my bedroom with

Leah and she was she was trying to put a

box back up on top of the wardrobe. And at

this point, I was kind of hot hobbling around a

little bit. I was, I was on crutches a bit,

but I was able to hobble around a bit. But

I could definitely, definitely, definitely pick up the box and

put it on the wardrobe. But Lea was trying to

do it, and she was struggling because she's a bit

vertically challenged, and so she was trying to and she

was trying to get into a chair to climb up

onto this put up there, And I said, let me,

he has a big, strong husband move his box for you.

And you know what she said to me. And when

I tell you this, right, you'll think, Luke, that's grounds

for divorce. She said, Luke, you can't. What should tell

me I can't do something I'm not able to? And

it threw me back to a time when I was

just really in deep recovery, and it was like I

was being told I couldn't do stuff all the time

by people. I was being fetched chairs and told I

couldn't lift stuff and look kind of stuff, and my

nan was the worst. And I remember this one time.

I'd been pretty much bedbound for like a year at

this point, and I just started moving around a little

bit and I was able to walk from my bed,

which was then in the living room, through into the

kitchen that was as far as I could walk and

back again. And this one morning I got up and

I thought, I'm gonna go for it today. I'm gonna

make myself some breakfast. It was like a milestone moment

for me. And I got out of bed and I

said my NaN's like, do you want some some breakfast?

I said, Nan, don't you worry yourself. I'm going to

make my own breakfast this morning. Say you can't, and

I just got I was like, watch me. So I

walked on the critchures into the into the kitchen and hey,

guys is coming in and finds a shit, finds out

a seat. I walked to the kitchen and I made myself.

I got some corn flakes out. I went to the

fridge and I kind of carefully, kind of using all

the surfaces, got back and pulled the milk in and

put some sugar on and I did this. I learned

this thing like I did. That's a really strong thumb.

And I could like grip bowls and glasses like on

on the side of my crutches and walk like this.

And I was doing it and the milk was swashing everywhere.

But I got in there and I sat down the

bed and I said, nah, I did it. I don't

tell me I can't, that's right, And she had to

agree as she went to get the mop and clear

up a little bit. But yeah, you can't, you can't. Yeah,

there's there's a there's a quote as I was saying

that they don't really know where it comes from, but

they most people attribute it to Nelson Mandela, to be honest,

but but they don't really know. And it goes smart

like this, it all. It always seems impossible until it's done,

until it's done, And you know, I think maybe that

that comes back to time where I forget the name

of the gentleman who he ran the mile in four

minutes for the first time. Everyone said it couldn't be done,

and then as soon as he did it, everyone wanted

to do it. Says in Matthew nineteen verses sixteen to

twenty six, although we're just going to read twenty six,

but it's a story of the rich young ruler, if

you know that. And this is a young guy who

comes to Jesus and he says to Jesus, I've done

everything that I'm supposed to do, right, I've ticked all

the boxes. So what's left for me to get into

the Kingdom of God? And Jesus replies, sell everything and

give it all to the poor, right, and then come

on follow me, and he goes away discourage because he

just can't. He doesn't want to do that. It's not

really about money. The thing about this whole story is

it's about money was an issue for that guy, right

and so and so Jesus is chatting to disciples it

say it's really hard for people like him to get

into the Kingdom of God. He says, he's almost as

hard as a camel going through the ether needle. And

if you've been in the church for any length of time,

you'll know that's actually referring to a little door that

was on the gates that a camel at nighttime when

the gates was shut, would have to take all the

luggage off get on the knees and crawl through this.

It was just big enough to get the camel through,

and the idea being it was really really hard for

the camel to get through that doorway. And the disciples

said to Jesus, well, how is it possible? How can

anybody enter the Kingdom of God? Then? And this is

Jesus reply. He looked at them and said, this is

verse twenty six. With man, this is impossible. But with God,

all things are possible. Now. I know about Versus talking

about salvation. But if Jesus said all things are possible,

and then guess what. All things are possible? There is

no can't in the Kingdom. In Philippians four, verses thirteen,

it says this, this is the new king. James version

says I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

In Jeremiah thirty two, verse seventeen, says, our Sovereign Lord,

you have made the heavens and the earth by your

great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too impossible, too

hard for you. There is no cant in the Kingdom. Amen. Amen,

we are living in miraculous times right now today, in

twenty twenty six. There's no cart in the Kingdom. You know,

I'd be careful when I say this, because that's time

I said this, I had like seventeen people come to

me after the service. But I love it when people

come to me after service and say, you know, that

was a great, great message today, Luke, I really encourage me.

I enjoy that. And like I said genuinely when I

said it last time, seventeen people came to see me,

one of which sees me every single week and tells

me I preach really well, which is great a part

of the fact that I don't preach every week, but

he always comes and says it anyway, which is really

really nice of him, A really great message. Today. I

didn't preachte I didn't. Sorry, Pete, I didn't preach today.

It's always nice, isn't it to have people kind of

say nice things and encourage you, and you want to

kind of please people. But actually, there is one person

that I really want to please. It's one person in

my life that when she says, well done, it was

a good message today. That's the person that I most

want to please, and that's Leah, my wife. Because when

Liah says it, I'm like God. But Leah thinks it right,

Leah's pleasing me. And the thing about Lear is as well,

is you got to know Leah can't lie. It's impossible

for to lie. There's like Jesus and then there's Leah

and then everyone else. Okay, I just got lucky when

I married Leah, and so like, I just want it's that.

That's the praise that I want to receive from Lear.

And you know what, though, it's the same with God.

We want to please God, right. And what it says

in Hebrews eleven, verse six is this. It says that

without faith, it's impossible to please God. In other words,

we have to believe in the impossible, or it's impossible

to please God. Faith. Faith is the currency of the kingdom.

It's all that matters to God. In Judges six, we

have the story of Gideon. You probably know the story.

A bit of a crazy story, really, you know. The

Angel of the Lord comes to Gideon and says, hey,

mighty warrior, I go and save Israel. And Gideon is like, no.

In fact, what he says is this, his verse fifteen

is pardon me, Lord, because his polite was Gideon, pardon me, Lord.

Gidding replied, how can I save Israel? My clan is

the weakest in Manassa and the least in my family.

In other words, it's impossible. It's beyond me. It's too

big for me. And do you know what I think?

The trap sometimes, when we're thinking about faith and think

about trying to see God's kingdom grow a douceman for

God is to actually think that maybe we are big enough,

maybe we are capable of doing it, but actually the

truth is is that we're not. Gideon was right. He

was the smallest. He was the smallest guy in his family.

His family was the smallest family in the clan, was

the smallest clown in the tribe, and his tribe was

probably the smallest tribe. That's probably why I was picked.

And this is how God answers Gideon. He doesn't say no, no, no,

you're okay, you're good, like I believe in your Gideon

doesn't say anything like that. He says this, I will

be with you and you will strike down the mediaite Midianites,

leaving none alive. This is the guy who was hiding

in a wine press threshing wheat, hiding from the enemies

who have been attacking the Israelites and he's like, I'm

a nobody and goes like, yeah, but I'm with you.

It makes all the difference, and church were living in

miraculous times. It doesn't matter whether what you think of

yourself does the matter, Whether you think you've got X

amount of skills, or whether you're confident or not confident,

doesn't matter. Nothing matters. The only thing matters is one

thing is God with you. And God is with you,

and He's with this hr Men now often mainly have

been passion in the church in Sheffield for seven years.

There have been numerous times where I've just felt unqualified,

just not having the answers that everyone's looking for. But

I have to keep believing rim miraculous times. And it's

not because of my qualification, not because of your qualifications.

It's not even because of Lea's qualifications. It's just muchow

than to Jesus. It's because God's with us, and so

I believe in the impossible, rim miraculous times. I want

to ask your church, what are you believing for right now?

Are you believing God for anything right now? Maybe God's

put an idea or a thought or a ministry in

your head and it seems impossible. I want to speak

to those of you who God's spoken to in the

past and you've laid it down because it hasn't happened.

I want to encourage you today pick it back up again.

We're living in miraculous times and Kingdom of God is

built on those that believe in the impossible. So I

want to give you a few I don't know, a few,

I guess, encouragements about faith. I want to encourage you

about how you can grow your faith today a little

bit because your face face an interesting one. You know.

Sometimes I know I've been guilty of this, especially in

my younger years. I felt like as if it was

on me. So I felt as if I had to

have enough faith for God to do stuff. And so

what I would do is I'd almost like squeeze my

eyes tighter, like that, Okay, God, I don't just believe anymore.

I really really believe. And still maybe they're tired offing happened.

I just I call that Disney faith, you know what

I mean. It's like, if you believe enough, it will happen.

Maybe for Cinderella. That's not how it works in the

Kingdom of God. It's not about that. It's not about

the size of your faith really, because Jesus said, what

you know, it's size of mustard seed. Right. But the

good news is this is that you all have got faith.

You've all got faith. Why because the first thing I

want to know about faith is that God gives faith.

He actually gives us faith, So you haven't got to

start from nothing. There. Romans twelve, verse three says this,

for by the grace given to me, I say to

every one of you, do not think of yourself more

higher than you WoT, but rather think of yourself with

sober judgment. And it comes with the faith that God

has distributed to each of you. You know, God's given

us everything in our life, really, hasn't he He's given

us I mean, get we get locked into his idea

that we've earned certain stuff, like we've earned our wage,

and yeah, we put the effort in, but God's given

us the ability to earn that wage. You know, God's

give us everything. Praise God for all the things He's

given us. Right, and even faith comes from God. So

right now you may have a small amount of faith.

God's given you with faith the size of mustard seed,

but it's enough. The second thing I want to mention

about faith is that faith is built. It is built.

You can grow your faith. It's not kind of like

a muscle. That's how I like to think about it.

And you know, there's two ways, two elements of building muscle.

And you'll know this if you're into like the gym

or fitness and stuff like that. There are two elements

for building muscle. The first thing is nutrition, and that's

all about what you put in. We put into yourself.

It's the building blocks. It's the fuel that you put

into yourself. And faith comes by putting the word into

yourself ten seventeen. As consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,

and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

You know, the interesting thing about that word word is

that the word for word in that verse. I always

thought it meant like the written words that the Bible.

And if you know your your Bible, you know your

your Greek, you know there's different a couple of different

words that the word that the Bible uses for different things.

And there's two words. I'm gonnat confused saying this now,

there's too many words in what I'm saying. There are

two words for the word word. The first word is

the logos, and that means the written word. It means

like the scriptures, right, what you're reading for yourself. And

then there's another words, the rama word, and that means

the spoken word. And actually this is referring to the

spoken word. I mean back then when they first wrote

these words, they would have a lot of people were

illiterate anyway, right, so a lot of people would have

been listening to the Word of God through speech anyway.

But the point trying to make is this, Yes, it

comes from reading the Bible. It also comes from digging

into the preachers on a Sunday morning. It also comes

from people giving prophetic words at times. Faith is built

on anything that comes from God. If he spoke it,

it'll build your faith. I remember, going back now, like

I said, twenty plus years, I was in a bit

of a mess, and it's a miracle itself that I

kind of just even stayed with God. I remember just

there being a whole season, like six months where the

only thing I could pray to God was why. And

I remember one time I said, it's such a mess.

I had just come out of the hospital. I'd to

go and have an emergency operation, and I was in pain,

like serious pain. But I was invited to go to

a service at church where they had a cup pathetic people.

So Clem Ferris was there, which I know, you guys

know Keith Hazel was there. Not was anymore, but some

of you may remember Keith. And they were prophesying other people,

and I was invited to go and be prof sied over.

And so something in me said I need to be there,

and so I went and they called me up from

the front and they profit said over me, and they

said some things in that prophecy that kept me going

that I held onto for years. I mean, what part

of it was just a scripture that even now I

go back to and I read it and I quote

it to myself, and I encourage myself with it. Isaiah forty,

verse twenty seven to thirty one. Why do you complain,

oh Jacob, Why do you say, oh, Israel, my cause

is disregarded by my God? Do you not know? Having

not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator

of all of the heavens and the earth. He does

not grow tired and weary, and he's understanding no one

can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases

the power of the week. Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall. But those who hope

on the lad will be new their strength. They will

soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not

grow weary. They will walk and not saying I hell

onto that for so long when I couldn't walk, And

even this year again I've revisited it and it's kept

me going. The word from God will sustain you, and

it's the nutrition you need to build your faith. But secondly,

the second component of building muscle in the natural is exercise.

I mean, the technical term these days is time under tension.

It means it means basically, trifle as long as possible,

to put your muscles in as much uncomfortable position as possible,

make them work for as long as possible. That's how

you build muscle. Sure, just just recently, just a few

months ago, like November ish kind of time, as I mentioned,

I had operation back on crutches, and I I decided

this morning, I'm going to walk to the shops. And

I said to myself, Luke, if you can walk to

the shops, you can buy yourself some sweeties. But it

was a risk. I don't know if I can make it.

Like I've been walking around the house a bit. I

say walking, it was more hobbling, you know, kind of

a bit wonky kind of thing, and I was like,

can I do this? I don't know, But I thought

to myself, well, what could what could happen? I could

walk so far, I could get really tired and had

to stop. I could turn around and come back. Or

I could walk so far, I could get really tired,

or maybe even hurt myself a little bit, and I

just had to sit down for a bit and rest.

And then after I've rested for a while, I look

a bit silly. I might be walking past me thinking

what's this guy doing in the dirt? You know, but

that's the worst guy. And I can get up and

I can walk, So I thought, you know, I'm gonna

I'm gonna go for it. So so I got ready

and I started walking to the shop. And I got

this Father's like to become generals. What do you call

them little paths in between the houses, Ginnel's backstreets, alleyways? Okay,

so I got to the alleyway on my street, cut

through and I walked up that and I had to

stop and arrested, and I thought, can I go any further? Yeah,

I can go a bit further. So I went across

over the street, went down the next alleyway, and I

came to a bridge. At this point the story, I

realized it kind of sounds like a children's tale, you know,

But there was no troll under the bridge. Were okay,

and so then I thought, can I make it up

the bridge? I crossed over the bridge. It was a

railway bridge, and then I and then it was a

bit further. I walked up. When I got to the shop,

and I bought myself some jelly beans, praised the Lord

for jellibeans, and I said, right, I'm not gonna eat

until I get home, So put my pocket and I

walked home. And I walked a bit and I stopped,

and by the time I got to my street, I

was literally hanging onto walls. I was set in carl

arms off. I was like my cars. But I made

it home, which is great. Was great. I thought I

was such a buzz amazing. But you know what, like

last week I walked, I did a six mile high

cupper hill in the Peter Streets. The point is this,

I don't worry about going to the shops anymore because

I've done it, I've lived it, I've got through it,

I experienced it. Now I worry about what's the next

biggest hill I can climb. And that's the same with faith.

Faith comes through experience. It comes to time under tension,

and right now you might be in the middle of

a tenth time in your life. I want to encourage you.

It's a good thing. Lean into it because God will

use it to build your faith. Just keep trusting in

Him Hebrews eleven, verse one. Now, faith is the confidence,

the confidence of what we hope for and the assurance

by what we don't see. I don't know if I

could make it to the shops. Didn't know last week.

We can make it up the hill. But it's about

having the confidence and trust in God to see it

with your eyes internally before you see it with your

natural eyes. It's going to the gym, you know, remember

the first time you might have gone to the gym

for the first time ever, and you just feel like

you feel silly right that you go into the gym

and you think to yourself, everyone here looks bigger than me, right.

But the truth is it doesn't matter how strong you

are before you go to the gym. Everyone starts at

different levels of strength. The point is when you go

to the gym. If you go to the gym, you

will get stronger. It's the same with faith. We've all

got different levels of faith, but if you start activating

that faith, your faith will get stronger. Amen. And when

you faith, because you know what we'll live in miraculous times.

The last thing about faith that I want to mention

is faith really is all about what we do. You know,

often we've limited faith to a feeling like it's just

that confidence or just that belief. But you know what,

the belief is not really believe unless you're willing to

act on it. It's knowing that it's going to happen.

But it's more than just thinking something's true. It's acting

like it is in James two verses fourteen twenty six,

I'll not be the whole thing, but it's the whole

discourse by the writer that just talks about this. How

like faith without deeds, it's not faith. He finishes on

verse twenty six by saying, as the body without the

spirit is dead. So faith without deeds is dead. The

words Faith isn't about good intentions. It's not faith to

want something. It's not faith to say you would do

something if you had enough cash. It's faith takes action,

Faith gives, faith loves, faith encourages faith, praise for faith

gets up, faith builds. And anything that doesn't do that,

it's just and just, but just sits there. Believing for

it isn't faith, it's just wishful thinking. The band up please.

In Mark nine, there's a pretty amazing story. I love this.

I like sometimes when you read about Jesus. I like

sometimes just imagining what he would have he would have

said it. And I like this bit and Mark now

because I think Jesus sounds almost a bit cocky. Mark nine,

Verse twenty two, twenty four is a guy brings his

son to Jesus and his sons they believes having some

kind of demonica attack or some kind of fit of

some kind. And the dad is obviously at the end

of his rope, and he comes to Jesus and he

says to Jesus in verse twenty two, it's often thrown

him into the fire or water to kill him. But

if you can do anything, take pity on us and

help us. I love Jesus response, he says, if you can,

I can imagine him, I can watch. Maybe this is paraphrase.

I'm like, he's like, what do you mean if I

can do anything? Do you know who you're talking to.

I'm Jesus, I'm the son of God. Like if Jesus says,

if you can do he said, everything is possible for

one who believes. And immediately the boy's father exclaimed, I

do believe. Help me to overcome my unbelief. And I

think that's a really good posture for us today. We're

living in miraculous times and the Kingdom of God. It's

built on people who believe in the impossible. Look what

God has done so far in this church, even since

I've been here last there's more so, what's God put

in your heart? Could it be that He's put it

there because with him, you actually are the mighty warrior

that will get it done. To your feet, please, I

want to finish by praying for you. I want to

just do some a bit different today to finish. I

don't often do this, although I was encouraged to do it.

I listened to Dave a few weeks back. He was

saying about, you know, we're believe in that there'll be

times of silence in the church. And there's a lot

we said about silence. We don't do it very much,

definitely not in this type of church anyway. The Pentecostal

church were quite loud and we'd like to shout and

cheer and that's all. That's great, but there are there

are times for moments of silence. And my prayer for

you today is that God will ignites something in you

just in this moment of silence, that it will speak

to you, It'll plant something in your heart that he's

calling you to do for him. That's going to take

a bit of faith. I believe that some of you

who is going to remind you of some stuff that

you laid down as need to pick right up right now.

And I want to remind you before we do this

that quote that I started off this this message with

that they all said it was impossible until you did it.

Let's pray. Well, let's let's just before praying, No, we'll

have a couple of minutes and just as we're as

we're standing in silence, I need you to open up

your heart to God and allow Him to speak to

you right now. Thank you Jesus. M hm m hm

h m.

M m mm hmmm.

S just stay in this moment for a minute. But

that's why people are eyes are closed. You know, if

you're believing for something impossible right now, God's spoken to

you today, or maybe you already were just believing for

something in Him. Would you just raise your hands right now?

Want to pray for you. Come on the Kingdom of God.

He's built on those who believe in the impossible. Thank

you Jesus. What I pray for everyone in the room

right now is believing for something impossible. I pray Lord

God that you would be their provider. I pray Lord

God that you would be the one who would step

into this moment in time of God and do the

impossible through them. Father, we pray Lord God. And only

would we in this place believe that we're living in

miraculous times or but let the people out there look

at this church and say, wow, look at the miraculous

things that God is doing that place. Lor we pray

you would speak to this world through your church. It's

such a powerful way through signs and wonders. We pray

for healings in the name of Jesus. We pray for

financial provision in the name of Jesus. We pray for

relationship reconciliation in the name of Jesus. We pray for

testimony after testimony after testimony. We pray this church will

be marked as a church who is celebrating consistently all

the great things You're doing in their lives because they

believe in the miraculous. We believe leave, Lord, and we

put our faith in you, and we trust in you.

We thank you Jesus. I thank you Lord, and just

just once more while while all the eyes are shut

and just feel I feel like just asking. I don't

know if I don't know want here. I know there's

some people here for the first time. I know there's

people watching online. Maybe you've never given your life to Jesus,

or maybe you've been away from Jesus for a very

long time. I want to encourage you. He's waiting with

open arms. He loves you, he wants to be known

by you, he wants to come into your life. And

you know what, He doesn't make everything perfect, but he

goes through everything with us and right now you can

be introduced to your creator. But more than that, you

can give you an assurance and a confidence that when

we leave this world physically that spiritually we live on,

that we get to live on in God. We call

that heaven, and it's so much better than without him.

So I want to give you an opportunity to come

to Jesus, to come to the foot across and while

every eye is closed. If that's to you today, would

you just raise your hand? Thank you? Anyone else the

first time or coming back to God today, I just

send me there's one more to someone else in the

whole right now, maybe they were on't like if you're

washing online, I'll encourage you write it in the chat

and I'm sure someone will check that afterwards and get

in touch with you. I'm going to pray for that

person who responded so LOI thank you, and as I'm

praying this, if you that person, you come back to God,

then I want to encourage you to make this prayer

your own. God. Today I come to you and I

give my life back to You, and I asked Lopie

to come into my life, come into my heart and

go through life with me. I want to know you,

and I want to be known by you for now

and for all eternity. Take my life. I'm making you

my Lord and Savior in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Amen.

Can we give a round applause? Thank you,
