Depression | Holly Whatley

Well, good morning Crossing Church.

How are you doing today? Oh, you're doing better than

that? Good morning Christ.

The church. How you doing today?

Way to go with? So good to be in the house of

the Lord, with the people of the Lord, learning from the word of

the Lord, and allowing the Holy Spirit to work richly and

powerfully in each one of us. And then we get to project that

out into a world that so desperately needs that intimate

personal relationship. Ship with Jesus Christ.

I want to welcome all of our campuses joining today from all

over this region of your Insider online.

We are so thankful for each and every one of you and today I

want to share the sermon time with Holly Whatley.

I've no ye men. I've known Holly since my very

first weekend at the Crossing back.

When we were pacing Road Christian Church, she was there

that first weekend and she has been involved.

Evolved with some of the most critical ministries of this

church for years. She was my personal assistant,

she was a critical player in the stablishment of our worship

teams. She used to run the finances for

the whole church. When we decided to go

multi-site, she was part of the launch Team for our Macomb

campus at church location. Shout out to Macomb and while

she was up there, she finished her bachelor's degree.

Lincoln Christian University and then she stepped away from our

staff for a time to lead the well house ministry here in

Quincy, awesome Ministry that we do and what we share in.

And after a time there, she went back on staff at our 929

location. Shout out to 929, And then later

transition to manage discipleship and women's

Ministries here at the 4th Street campus.

She also helped develop and Lead our rise conference as well.

Can I get a shoutout for Rise coming up?

And after that, she went back to pursue to school to pursue a

graduate degree in counseling. And after graduation, she went

to work in counseling services in Hannibal.

Shout out to Hannibal. You're lucky to have her out

over there. She has run a marathon.

She has been commissioned to ministry here at the Crossing.

She's Champion. The ministry of Rafa house,

Mission our missions. Team, she's been a leader at

Region and she is Close personal friend of Allison and myself.

And we have a very deep respect for her.

The reason I want you to hear from her today is because she

has professional expertise in the understanding and the

treatment of depression. And she couples that with her

love for Jesus and her Devotion to the ministry at the Crossing.

So I want you to give the very best most powerful Crossing.

Welcome to Holly, walley's she comes up on This day.

Thank you. Well thank you obviously Jerry

for such a warm welcome and thank you all so much.

It's such a honor to be here. I cannot begin to tell you how

much I love this church. I have been here my entire adult

life at this church. I have grown and discovered a

deeper love and knowledge of Jesus.

I have found love and acceptance and healing.

I have been challenged. I've been encouraged I have

loved my opportunity to be on staff here at the Crossing it

has literally been the honor of my life and this transition into

mental health and into therapy was something that I never

expected. Like so many of you I was doing

my normal quiet, time one morning, sitting down reading my

Bible spending time with the Lord listening for his voice,

and the Holy Spirit just impressed on my heart.

So deeply to go back to school. And as I began to near the end

of my degree just so many things kept lining up that it looked

like I was going to be making this transition and it's been an

incredible Ministry to sit in front and across from clients

its Sacred Space to hear people's struggles to hear their

stories to hear their sufferings, but also to hear

their wins and their Joys and their successes and I'm so

grateful for the opportunity that God has given me in this

season of History as well my unofficial title or how I

affectionately refer to myself at my current position is

world's oldest intern. Yes, thank you for that

Applause. My co-workers assure me that

there's no way that could be possible but no one has yet to

produce an intern older than me. So until that happens.

I'm just going to wear that mount will proudly.

So if you're a person who can't seem to quit, White find your

career path. As you heard Jerry say I think

he's listed at least 12 that I've done in my current life.

Let's talk because I can relate. So you Dairy approached me with

this idea of speaking, it is part of the series on Mental

Health about depression. Yay.

Right fun. Everyone's favorite topic but

what's interesting is I think depression is something that we

Are very familiar with, so anxiety, and anxiety, and

depression are two. We've been discussing them, you

know, as mental illnesses, or mental health challenges, that

are the most common, we experienced by people and even

among our own church family, you know, we've been talking a lot

about this mental health, survey, and so many of you

responded and we'll talk more about that.

But depression is something that is not always very well

understood. Stood, we're not always sure

like when we say depression, like what does that even mean,

right? So imagine this.

So imagine you guys are a couple of you guys who are having a

conversation, like say a couple of you guys are like standing

around the grill. That's something that guys do,

right? I don't know men.

Yeah. Okay.

Yes. I see a couple of knobs.

Thank you. Okay.

So you guys are standing around the grill and you're having a

conversation with a buddy and your friend says this.

Hey, so How are things going and you say, oh well, you know, I

don't know. Like I've been just feeling

really run down lately. Oh, really?

Yeah, just been feeling like really tired.

I'm not really sleeping. Well, have trouble falling

asleep. And I have trouble staying

asleep and your friends. Like, oh man, I'm sorry to hear

that. Like, well, how's work going?

And your friend says, oh well, Yeah, I mean it's going good but

you know usually what would happen is I would get a project

and I would get my team together and start assigning tasks and

I'll get my spreadsheet out, you know.

But it just seems like every time I try to tackle it it's

like my brains kind of fuzzy and I just can't quite seem to get

my ducks in a row like okay. Well, alright, how are things at

home? Well, you know, like it's been

good like we've been busy, the kids have been busy now but Just

seems like I'm just always in a really bad mood, I just can't

quite seem to get out of it. And so, that's been really hard.

Okay. Well, what about that car?

You know, you've been working on.

How's that going? Well, I got really far in the

did a certain point. I just like I just didn't really

feel like working on it anymore and so you might say to her

friend like hey man, like I actually think you might be

depressed and your friends like oh no.

Like No, I'm just in a funk like II know things will get better.

Work will slow down. You know, the kids are just

really busy right now but we don't always realize is that

some of the things that we experience in our lives are the

things that we might classify as being in a funk could actually

be symptoms of depression. So symptoms of depression are

these so you might be feeling down depressed irritable or

hopeless. You might have a diminished

pleasure in activities that you used to really enjoy.

You might have a significant change in appetite.

You might be really more hungry than usual or you might not feel

hungry at all. Or wait.

You might have extreme fatigue or loss of energy.

You might have a diminished ability to think.

Clearly evaluate our concentrate, you may feel like a

failure or like you have let yourself or others down.

You might have movements that are slower than normal, or you

may Movements that are more agitated than normal.

You might be getting too little sleep, you're having trouble

falling asleep or having trouble slang, staying asleep, or you

may have the exact opposite where all you want to do is

sleep. You may also have suicidal

thoughts or start to make plans or even attempt suicide.

And again, like I said, depression is something that

affects so many people. If you have these symptoms for

two or more weeks, you may have what could be diagnosis,

clinical depression. And it's something that affects

a lot of people. We asked you to participate in

our mental health survey. And so many people responded to

that survey. And we're so thankful and

appreciative of you, sharing your thoughts and experiences.

And of those who responded to that survey fifty percent of

women who responded. Depression and forty percent of

The Men Who responded experience depression.

So even among our own church family, there are a significant

number of us who either have or are currently experiencing

depression. And not only that, when we look

in the pages of scripture, we can begin to see.

So many people who also have experienced these circumstances

or these symptoms are qualities that we see with depression in.

Just like in real life where I would never presume to diagnose

someone based on a conversation or a journal entry.

I'm not 100% certain that this is the case for these people,

but we can begin to recognize some of these qualities that

match some of the qualities that we are familiar with and one of

those is the psalmist in Psalm 42.

So let's look at Psalm 42 verse 5.

Psalms 42:5

Why my soul are you downcast why so Disturbed?

Within me, put your hope in God. For I will yet, Praise Him My

Savior and my God and I can only imagine what some of you might

be thinking world's shortest. Sermon, right?

Why are you so sad? Put your hope in God great let's

go get nachos, right? No actually no sorry to

disappoint you but for others of you you Maybe on the exact

opposite end of the spectrum. For those of you who either have

or currently experience depression, you may think great

one more message where I think what is wrong with me.

Why am I so sad? Why can't I put my trust in God?

And so right now I want to speak to all of us at all of our

locations, who care for someone or love someone with depression.

We've been referencing this word a lot throughout this sermon

series. It's the word validation.

Word, validation simply means acknowledging the thoughts

feelings and experiences of another person and it sounds

like this. Hey, that sounds really hard or

I can imagine that. That really hurt it's being

willing to see through the lens of another person and so often,

when we love someone in our life who is struggling, our

intentions are so good. And so well-meaning, we want

them to think differently, we want them.

Um, to feel differently, but in that Zeal, or that desire, or

those good intentions, we can end up using scripture, not so

much as an encouragement, but sometimes it can feel like

almost like a weapon to the people in our Lives who we love

who are having those experiences.

So, here's what I want. All of us at all of our

locations to do. I want us to take a collective

deep breath. Okay, so let's take a deep

breath in. And let's take a deep breath

out. And this is the posture that I

want us to enter into those conversations with because the

people in our Lives who we love so much, they are not problems

to be fixed. They are people to be loved.

And so often our presence, our compassion, our kindness our

prayers, our encouragement. Hey, even our funny memes that

we send them throughout the course of a day.

That can mean so much Two more two people we love who are

experiencing depression, been any right answer ever could.

Because more often than not, there really is no right answer.

So with this, we're going to shift back to our psalmist in

Psalm 42 and we're going to look at what he asks in verse 5.

Why is my soul? So downcast the way I often

explain it to my clients is that depression can Feel kind of like

a soup and I know what you're thinking, oh this is the kind of

expert advice that I really came here for right?

Yeah yep, you're welcome. Okay, so the reason I say that

depression can be kind of like a soup is that with a soup?

Some of the basic components are the same but the exact

ingredients can be different depending on each type, right?

And depression can kind of be like that we're for each person.

The basic components can be kind of the same.

But the exact ingredients for each person can be a little

different and they can contribute to the continuation

of a person's depression because depression is a syndrome that is

comprised comprised of mood dysregulation.

It can be resulting from events. It's a it's a combination of

feelings and behaviors and the combination of these things,

depends on the individual person and the root of each two persons

depression. Can be different as well.

This is where if you have been having these symptoms for a

continued amount of time working with a medical professional and

a clinical professional can be a huge ATU of figuring out.

What are the components of your exact experience and what are

the tools and the resources that you need to meet you where you

are to help you along the way with your particular set of

symptoms? So while we'll be talking about

Out some of the components of depression in our time together.

Today these may not be the case for you because they may not be

your particular type of soup, I guess.

But what we will be doing is looking at depression through

the lens of the four buckets that we've been looking through

all along through this mental health series and the first

bucket is the chemical bucket or the biological bucket.

So genetics can make us very vulnerable to depression.

For example, if you have a family history of depression you

are much more likely to experience it yourself.

Also if you have we call a concurring diagnosis like

bipolar disorder. You can also be much more

susceptible to developing depression.

There can also be other mitigating circumstances like a

change in hormones. So for example after you have a

baby or as you get older That those those hormonal changes can

precipitate depression. It can be a side effect of

certain medications and there are also even neurotransmitter

changes that happen when we are depressed.

So let's look at Psalm 42, verses 1 through 3 As the deer

Psalms 42:1–3

pants for streams of water. So my soul pants for you, my

God, my soul thirsts for God for the Living God, when can I go

and meet with God? My tears have been my food all

day and night. While people say, to me all day

long. Where is your god in Old

Testament times? God's presence was focused in

the temple. And the psalm is here is writing

on the road. He is removed from God's

presence. And he, he says, my tears say to

me. Where is your god?

And so it can feel like that when we are in a season of

depression it's like okay, wherever God is I'm somewhere

else and our soul can feel so dry and we can feel so

desperate. We no longer sense his presence

and he could feel so distant. And this can contribute to the

symptoms that we can experience. We can feel like we like the

psalmist we can have prolong times where we have trouble

managing our emotional effect for some.

Us. We do feel like exactly like the

psalmist said. We're literally, we have no

appetite and our tears are all. We eat on all day long, so those

can be some of the biological components of depression.

Depression can also be situational.

One of the other buckets we've been looking at throughout this

sermon series. Let's look at Psalm 42 verse for

these things. I remember as I pour out my

soul, how I used to To go to the house of God, under the

protection of the mighty one, with shouts of joy and praise

among the festive. Throng.

The psalmist is looking back on a time in his life, in which he

was flourishing, he was worshipping God in the temple,

he had purpose, he had Community, he was close to God

and others. And now that season is gone in a

sense of loss can often A season of depression.

Whether that's the death of a loved one, the loss of a

relationship, the loss of a job, even the loss of a promotion or

something. We perceived as the support in

our life, and so often depression, can be perpetuated

by the failure, to truly grieve these losses, we try to push

away the emotional pain, we busy ourselves or try to keep our

minds occupied. But grieving It is simply the

process of acknowledging reality.

It's being willing to say, hey, I am hurting I am in pain.

I miss this person. I miss this season of Life,

maybe you're grieving or morning us an experience of life that

you've never even got to experience in the first place.

Mourn. That loss, David Kessler, who is

an expert. And grieving and mourning says

it this way, grief Demands a witness for.

So many of us, we try to stuffer or struggle alone, but we have

to be willing to share with the people who love us so much.

I am hurting. I am in pain.

I am grieving Depression can also be clinical and for the

most part during this series, we've been kind of skipping over

this section, right? It's like, oh, the buckets and

clinical and then Moving on. But for this series, I'm like,

Hey, we're going to hang on to this for a little bit because

this is kind of my jam, right? And it's interesting because

when I very first transitioned into full-time therapy, I got

this question a lot. Well, are you going to be a

Christian? Therapist.

And I totally get the questioning or the thought

behind that question, like, oh, where you going to be rooted in

the word of God? You know, are you going to be

pointing people to Jesus? Are you going to be trusting in

the holy spirit to guide you in your counsel?

Like, oh, absolutely, yes, yes, yes, yes.

And yes. But the interesting thing is

that the more I learned about counseling, theories, or about

how our brain and body is wired or about the things that help us

grow or the things that help us when we're stuck.

Tuck or the things that can get us stuck.

I was like, oh wait like the Bible says that oh yeah, the

Bible says that too. Yep, the Bible says that too.

So they didn't quite seem as opposed to one another as some

people might actually think. So, an interesting example of

that is found exactly in the scripture that we are in today,

it's in Psalm 42:5. So again, the psalmist asks, why

Psalms 42:5

why Is my soul so downcast. Why is my soul so Disturbed

within me and what we may not realize is why is actually a

superpower? The psalmist is actually

teaching us a brain hack. So can you guys hang with me and

nerd out with me for just like 30 seconds?

Yeah, okay. Thank you.

Thank you. I see.

I see thank you. I see those nods.

Ok, so in our brains is our amygdala.

So our amygdala regulates our emotions and often our amygdala

can kind of get become dysregulated.

It gets triggered and triggered, and triggered and triggered.

When we're having mood dysregulation, when we're

experiencing big emotion, after big emotion after big emotion

after big emotion. So what happens is there's two

ways that our amygdala gets trigger and you may have heard

this before it, you can experience fight or flight where

your amygdala gets really agitated or you Experience

freeze or faint, sometimes it's called where your amygdala and

your body and your brain, kind of like shut down.

So those are kind of the two experiences that we have.

Well, here's the amazing thing. When the psalmist says, why is

my soul so downcast? Why is my soul so?

Disturbed within me, the word downcast literally means in the

Hebrew like brought low. Just exactly what happens when

our amygdala gets triggered. Some Times and the word

Disturbed, literally means it's like the Roaring of waves.

It's like thundering and crashing and it's exactly what

happens when our amygdala gets triggered, we get agitated.

So the psalmist is describing exactly what happens to us,

exactly what can be our emotional experience.

But here's the amazing part, there's one part of our thinking

brain, normally our thinking brain has no effect on our

emotional brain. Except for this one part and it

is the noticing part. So the more we become curious

about our thoughts, the more we become curious about our

emotional experiences, the more we ask, why am I feeling so

angry in this moment, why am I feeling so agitated in this

moment? Why am I feeling?

So sad right now, it actually calms our amygdala.

So it calms this emotional experience that were Having it's

actually a fancy word called metacognition.

We separate ourselves from the emotional experience to notice

the thoughts or emotions. And so often depression, is the

result of repressing. Our emotions or just a lack of

acknowledgement of like, what is going on inside of us.

It made feel too scary to acknowledge it or to face.

What is going on inside of us. That could be for a variety of

reasons, maybe it's Trauma from our past that feels very scary

to address and that is very understandable.

It could be difficult or painful emotions like fear anxiety or

jealousy or more often than not shame or guilt and we don't even

want to go there. So we just yell at our kids or

we binge another episode of Netflix or we finish off another

sleep of Girl Scout cookies. Or we utilize drugs or alcohol

or sex to try to regulate what is happening to us, emotionally.

But the more we utilize this process of noticing the more,

our amygdala becomes less reactive and it calms down this

emotional experience and helps us to get to the root.

You see, the psalmist was morning a season in his life, in

which he was really flourishing and transitioning to a season in

which he was not later on. In Psalm 42, we read that he was

oppressed. But he was feeling forgotten by

God and it's very often in these times of difficulty that we can

really do the hard work of getting to the root.

The why regeneration is an incredible Ministry at our

church? I am a proud regeneration

graduate. I love this ministry and

regeneration is a Biblical discipleship 12-step Ministry

and as part of those Twelve steps we do the fourth step and

it can be kind of known as the dreaded fourth step.

If, you know, you know, because the fourth step is we go through

the process of cultivating or conducting a Fearless moral

inventory. We list out all of our fears, we

list out all of our resentments, all of the harms done to us, all

of the harms that we ourselves have done to other people and

it's all The effort of getting to the root.

What did our response value? What are we placing on the

throne of our hearts? Other than God is it pride?

Is it control? Is it a sense of security is it

self protection? Is it relationships?

What is at the root of my experience?

And where am I failing to put God on the throne and trust, God

first in my life. So as we continue on this

spiritual bucket we're going to go back to Psalm. 42:5 why my

Psalms 42:5

soul? Are you downcast why?

So Disturbed within me, put your hope in God for I will yet

Praise Him My Savior and my God. So now we're going to focus on

the very last section of this verse 4.

I will yet. Praise Him My Savior and my God.

So in the Hebrew verse 5 actually reads, more closely,

praise God, for the help of his presence.

We as human beings are co-regulators, any of you who

are parents at any of our locations, you understand this.

So imagine this with me, your baby is crying.

Crying. Okay, and imagine like the

heaving sobbing top of the lungs just like, you know, where the

face is, just like beet red, everything they've got crying.

Okay, so you go in and you pick them up and you hold them close,

and you're like, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Well, what begins to happen, right?

You feel their body begin to relax.

You feel them. Begin to take, breaths that arm.

Much more deep, you feel the shaking begin to calm and you

feel the tears? Begin to dry up because that's

what happens when we co regulate with each other.

And that process continues throughout the course of Our

Lives. We teach each other how to

regulate and manage our emotions And God's relationship with us

is no different. God's presence is with us when

we have these big feelings when these thoughts overwhelm us,

God's presence is with us to calm us to hold us.

When we are struggling with our mood, our thinking and our loss.

Psalm 42, 6A says this, my soul is Cast Within Me.

Therefore, I will remember you, you see, when we are depressed,

we have a mental filter and that mental filter is a negative

mental filter. We will think that we are

failing. We will think that everything is

going wrong. We will convince ourselves that

there is no hope. And that is naturally, that is

connected. With depression.

And the psalmist says, okay, I realize that this is my

experience. My soul is downcast.

What did we say? That was my soul is down low.

My soul is depressed Within Me. Therefore, so he's saying I know

that I am depressed. I know that I have this mental

filter. Therefore, I will remember you

when we have this mental We have to remember God, if he's in 617

says this. We have the full armor of God.

And particularly verse 17 says, take the helmet of salvation and

the sword of the spirit which is the word of God.

So the helmet of salvation protects our minds and think

about it for a minute. What is salvation Salvation is

the knowledge that we have been rescued by God.

It is the knowledge that all of our sin and failure and mistakes

have been covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

It is the knowledge that there is absolutely no condemnation.

For those who are in Christ Jesus, it is the knowledge that

there is absolutely nothing in heaven on Earth that can

separate us from the love of God.

That is ours in Christ Jesus. So the helmet of salvation

protects Our minds and reminds us of who we are and whose we

are and not only that we have the sword of the spirit, the

word of God. It was never meant to be used as

a weapon against us. It was always meant to be used

as a weapon against the enemy of our souls.

Psalm 42 verses 7 and 8 says this deep calls to deep in the

Psalms 42:7

Roar of your waterfalls, all your waves and break.

Have swept Over Me by day the Lord directs his love at night,

his song is with me a prayer to the god of my life.

We talked about that when my soul is distressed, it feels

like the Roaring waves, right? Our thoughts are all over the

place. Those emotions.

Hit us like waves, but the psalmist is comparing God's love

his voice. To those same waves, which means

that When those thoughts and those feelings are so loud God's

voice in his love is louder and that he is directing and

commanding his love towards us. He is very much in the battle

with us. So when the thoughts are loud,

his voice is louder. And when we're awake and cannot

sleep, at says, his song is with us.

So what does that mean? For those of us at all of our

locations, who are in a season of depression, it means that we

will take steps of faith. And for some of us a step of

Faith, literally might mean getting out of bed and taking a

shower. But as we take that step of

faith, we know, God is directing his love towards us, right?

So that means that every Every step of the way, God is saying

I'm here. I'm here, you're doing it,

you're doing it. He is directing his love towards

us and when those thoughts and those feelings get so loud.

We will remember that. God's voice is so much louder

and we will protect our minds with the helmet of salvation.

Remembering that we are loved and chosen.

By God, that we were covered in Christ blood. and when we are

awake in the middle of the night again and again and again, We

will allow him to sing over us. And we will rest in his love for

us. The psalmist says yet.

I will praise him. It's a, pretty powerful word,

right? Especially when our symptoms are

so significant when we're feeling so tired.

When those emotional waves, hit us over and over and over again,

when those thoughts Pierce so deeply Yes, no matter what?

No matter what I experience, no matter what each day brings yet.

The psalmist says yet. I will praise him.

Why? Because he is with me.

We're moving to a time of decision.

I'm in. I'm in an interesting spot

because I've said to you before that, I've had people come up to

me and say it's like, you're reading my mail.

It's like you're going through my trash or hiding in my closet.

I kind of feel like that happened to me today.

That I don't know how what Holly shared with you is affecting

you? I have no idea but I know how

it's affecting me and and how I look at my own life.

And I can see a lot of those realities.

In my life and I bet you do too. A lot of different things

impacted mean what she said, one of the biggest ones was

co-regulation. and, As a parent. I can remember the two words.

That we said to our kids, they had two different meanings

depending upon the situation, but we set them a lot and that

was be still. Did you ever hear that from

parents? Be still.

You know, that's a Biblical term.

It's in Psalm 46 where God says be still and know that I am.

God. Most of the time though, we

didn't use those two words, we had a noise.

A sound that we would make that conveyed the same message.

And the noise was this. How have you heard a lot?

And again, it can mean two different things in

co-regulation. It can mean two different

things. One, It can be.

Hey, you need to quiet down. Right.

And then in Psalm 46, be still in the Hebrew language, could be

translated, stop striving. Quit fighting.

Surrender. Some of us today is where we are

exactly where we are. And that still Small Voice in

your heart. God speaking to you right now

and that's what be still means. That's what co-regulation looks

like for some of us. I mean, we're just torn up.

And we need to feel that we've been taken up in the arms of

God. He calms us.

And he reminds us. That it's okay.

That it's going to be okay because you're in his arms.

maybe today is a day where you're not crying or retching or

Overwhelmed. But because you spend some time

with the Lord today, you can feel those things calm down.

Some of you today have never come into an intimate personal

relationship with Jesus Christ. You're still trying to do this

on your own and it's time to stop that.

It's time for you to go to him. And let him have control of your

life. It's time to stop striving.

It's time to quit fighting. It's time to surrender.

There's going to be someone right over there by that

baptistery. That would love to talk to you

about that step. A courageous step, a huge step,

but so powerful. So life in eternity changing For

many of us today. It's different.

We have that relationship with Jesus Christ and maybe, you

know, we're feeling hypocritical, like why can't I

Why can't I get this? Get my stuff together, why can't

I And that's what these steps are for today.

For you to just take that step to take a step.

A courageous step. Get on your knees before the

Lord, and pour your heart out to him.

And feel. His hands pick you up.

To feel his comfort and his strength in a time of need today

is the day. To start a process of healing.

It just makes sense that you would go.

To the great physician. To the Healer.

Would you stand with me? Let's pray together in Jesus

name. Heavenly father I pray.

Would you just take advantage of this moment?

That we would be able to hear that voice.

Your spirit inside us. Gently encouraging.

Moving us to take a bold, step courageous step.

And that father, we would be able to experience some healing.

I pray father that you would accomplish a great Mighty thing.

In Jesus name, amen. In Jesus name, amen.
