Mark Finley - Who Will Stand When Jesus Comes Back

Adventist Radio London inspiration for the subject, who are the one hundred and forty

four thousand? The question of the one hundred and forty four thousand has perplexed

men and women down through the centuries. Many students of the Bible, pastors,

and theologians have been confused by that subject. They've attempted to answer it

in different ways. Some people believe that the one hundred and forty four thousand

are one hundred and forty four thousand Jews that go out to preach the Gospel

during the time of the Tribulation. Now you might be thinking, well,

isn't that true. Well, we're going to study from scripture to find out

what is true. Let's throw off our preconceived ideas. Let's cast off all

men made ideas and go directly to the Bible. Now, in the Bible,

the one hundred and forty four thousand are mentioned in two places, Revelation

chapter seven and Revelation Chapter fourteen. The seventh chapter of the Book of Revelation

is an answer to a question that is raised in Revelation chapter six. In

Revelation chapter six, the Bible is talking about the seven Seals, and it

interrupts those seals with a question. In Revelation six, verse seventeen, it

says, for the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall

be able to stand? Now you'd expect the answer to that question who shall

be able to stand? To be given in the next chapter, And you're

right. It is so Revelation chapter seven that mentions the one hundred and forty

four thousand is the answer to the question who shall be able to stand?

Who will? And in the day when Jesus Christ comes, who will stand,

in the day when the heavens are illuminated with His glory? Who will

stand in the day when lightning flashes from the east and to the west,

and Christ comes with ten thousand times ten thousand angels, who will stand?

The answer is given Revelation seven, verse one. After these things, I

saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four

winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth,

nor on the sea, nor in any tree. Now notice what you see

in that first verse, because it's extremely important. The number four is mentioned

four times. After these things, I saw four angels. Are there only

four angels? Not at all? There are ten thousand times ten thousand angels.

It says, on the four corners of the earth, I thought the

earth was round? Does it have four corners? Not at all? Then

it says, I saw the four winds of the earth. What's this talking

about? Four? Four four. In the Bible, numbers take significance.

The number seven is the number of perfection. For example, you have seven

churches, the perfect working of God down through the centuries. In every one

of his churches or is part of his people. Then you have the seven

seals, God's work down through the ages as his church makes an impact on

the world. You have the seven trumpets, the seven perfect judgments of God,

and those that have turned from his love and spurned his grace and oppressed

his people. So in the Bible, numbers are significant. In the Bible,

you have the number three in the Book of Revelation, you have the

Father Son and the Holy Spirit. That's the number of divinity. But then

you also have the Dragon, the beast, and the false prophet, the

false divinity that wars against the true Divinity. So the point is that numbers

have significance. When the Bible speaks and uses the number four, it's using

it to illustrate the four points of the compass north, south, east,

west. It's kind of indicating totality. Totality is that number. So after

these things, I saw four angels. Well, the angels belt the earth,

of course, but mentioning for is the total ministry of these angels as

it circles the earth. Then it says four winds of the Earth, and

that the wind should not blow on the earth nor on the sea. It

also talks about the four corners of the Earth. That's the four points of

the compass, as we mentioned north, southeast or west. So these numbers

are significant when it says the four winds. What is wind representing in the

Bible? Well, in Daniel chapter seven, a companion book to the Book

a Revelation, we saw a wind blowing upon a turbulent sea, as beast

strides up out of the sea. Kingdoms coming up amidst turmoil and conflict.

Jeremiah chapter forty nine is probably one of the best chapters in the Bible to

understand the significance or the meaning of winds. Jeremiah the forty ninth chapter.

And we're looking there at Jeremiah forty nine, verse thirty six and onward.

And we're trying to discover what is the meaning of the winds. And here

in the Book of Jeremiah, this is how it describes it. It says

that the wind rose and blew. And you look at Jeremiah, and it

describes the conflict and the turmoil among nations. And as it describes that,

it points out here in Jeremiah chapter forty nine, that the conflict that's taking

place, the strife that's taking place, the struggle that is taking place,

and it equates that struggle with winds. Look at verse thirty seven thirty eight

and onward. For I will cause Egam to be dismayed before their enemies,

and before them seek their life. And I will bring upon them my fierce

anger, seth the Lord, and I'll send the sword after them. And

he says in verse thirty six upon eagle, will I bring the four winds

from the four quarters of heaven. I'll scatter them. Toward those winds,

there'll be no nation. So in verse thirty seven he says that his anger

is going to come upon them, that evil is going to come, that

war and conflict and strife are going to come. And in verse thirty six

he says, that's the winds. So in Revelation chapter seven and verse one,

when we read about four winds blowing upon the Great Sea, there we

read about four winds of the four areas of the compass. What we're actually

reading about is strife and conflict coming upon the world. So with that understanding,

let's go back and look at verse one of Revelation seven. After these

things, I saw four angels. That's God's angels belt the earth. They

hold back the winds of strife. They hold back the destruction, the conflict.

They hold back the war in turmoil. Now sometimes we see little gusts

of that wind blow through the fingers of those angels. But all hell will

break loose in the last days of verse history. There'll be a time of

trouble, according to the Bible, such as never has been in the history

of the world. Then it says I saw the Angel ascending from the east,

having the seal of the Living God. And he cries with a loud

voice to the four angels, to whom was given to hurt the earth and

the seas, saying, don't hurt the earth, the sea, the trees

till we've sealed the servants of God in their foreheads. Now, notice the

seal of God is placed in the foreheads. So the great time of tribulation,

the time of trouble, will not come until the servants of God are

sealed in the foreheads. Now, who is sealed? What does the Bible

say about who's sealed? The servants of God? So when the Bible describes

shortly the one hundred and forty four thousand, it's describing the servants of God

that are sealed in their foreheads. Now, what's this ceiling? We know

a lot about seals, don't we. If you are married, there is

a seal on your marriage certificate. If you graduate from high school or college,

there's a seal on that degree. If you, for example, have

a driver's license, there'll always be a little seal on that. What is

a seal? A seal is an official stamp that authenticates a document. So

if you have a legal document like a marriage license, the seal makes that

document authentic. Well, does God have a legal document with a seal in

it? Isaiah chapter eight, verse sixteen. The Bible does tell us that

God has a legal document with a seal in it. Here in Isaiah eight,

verse sixteen, it says, bind up the testimony, seal the law

among my disciples. So God's seal is in his law verse twenty. To

the law and the testimony, if they speak not even according to this words,

because there's no light in them. So to God's law, to the

testimony of the prophets of scripture. If they don't speak according to his testimony,

there is absolutely no light in them. But the seal is in God's

law. Now who place the seal in God's law? And who seals us?

Ephesians chapter four. Now there are those who have made a mistake in

thinking that the Holy Spirit is the seal. The Holy Spirit is not the

seal. But the Holy Spirit performs the sealing work Ephesians chapter four. And

we're looking there at verse thirty, and grieve not the Holy Spirit of God,

whereby you are sealed under the day of redemption, whereby you are sealed.

So the Holy Spirit is the agency that writes God's law on our hearts,

so that we are settled in God's truth, so that nothing can move

us. So in Revelation seven, when it introduces the answer to the question

who shall be able to stand, it is saying that there's a great time

of trouble coming, there's a great tribulation coming. There's a great time of

difficulty coming. But God will seal, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit,

his law in the hearts and minds of his people, so that they

will not be moved when the great crisis comes. Now, a seal must

contain at least three things. It must contain the name of the one that

sealing, that's doing the ceiling. Must contain his title and his domains.

If you have a marriage certificate and you have a seal in it, it'll

tell you a little bit about the person that's the justice of the peace or

the magistrate, or the one who has the authority to do the ceiling.

It'll tell you what his domain is, and it'll tell you what his work

is in his type this official title. Like, for example, you might

have Abraham Lincoln President the United States. So you have the United States,

says the seal. You'll have the name of the seal or the president.

It'll have his title as president, and it will have his domain United States.

So if there's a seal in God's law, what would that be that

would authenticate God's law? Where do we find the seal in God's law?

Do we find it in the first commandment thou shalt have no other gods before

thee We could ask why who says we shall have no other gods? Do

we find it in the second commandment? Thou shalt not bow down to any

graven image? Who says, do we find it in the third commandment?

Thou shalt not take the name of the word thy God in vain? What

about the commandments that says thou should not kill or steal, or commit adultery

or covered, etc. When you look through the entire law, there's only

one commandment that has the qualifications for a seal. That's the fourth Commandment,

the Sabbath, that says, remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. But the seventh day

is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do

any work. Thou art thy son, thy daughter, thy man, certainly

made certainly cattle within thy gates. Why for in six days the Lord made

heaven and earth rested on the seventh, and the Lord sanctified and hallowed it.

Look the Sabbath commandment tells us that he is the Lord our God,

tells us he is the creator, his title, and it tells us his

domain heaven and earth. So the Sabbath is the great seal of God's Law.

It authenticates God's law because it tells us that the one that made us,

the one that created us, the one that fashioned and shaped us,

the one that gave us life. It tells us, indeed, that he

is our creator. Therefore he has authority. So let's go back to Revelation

chapter seven. Here, in Revelation chapter seven, it says, verse one,

verse two, verse three. After these things, I saw four angels

standing on the four corners of the Earth holding back the four winds. So

the angels belt the earth. They totally surround the earth. They hold back

the four winds of destruction until something happens, until this angel descends from the

east and he cries out places seal. In other words, lead God's people

through the Holy Spirit, to have the law of God written in their hearts,

the law of God written in their minds. It's written in their hearts,

so they love it written in their minds, so they know it,

and let the Seal of God the Sabbath commandment, be that commandment that enables

them to settle into the truth in the last days of verse history. And

let the Sabbath be the flag of their allegiance. Let the Sabbath be the

seal of their allegiance. Let the Sabbath be the indication that they keep the

entire law, namely, through the blood of Jesus Christ. They are saved

by faith. Now through grace. They are saved by grace. Through faith.

We don't save ourselves by obedience. But Jesus says, if you'll love

me, do what keep my commandments, so God will have an end time

a commandment keeping people. Now these people are sealed, And who are they?

According to verse three, they're the servants of God. Verse four,

I heard the number of them that were sealed, and there were sealed one

hundred and forty four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Somebody says, pastor Mark. That confuses me, because it says that the

ones that are sealed of all the tribes of the children of Israel. So

you have to ask who are Israelites in the New Testament. In the Old

Testament, Israel were God's people but let's see if we can discover in the

New Testament who these Israelites are when we look at some specific texts Romans Chapter

two, verse twenty eight and twenty nine. Romans two, verse twenty eight

and twenty nine. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly,

neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh. But he is

a Jew, which is one inwardly and circumcision, and is not of the

heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is

not a men, but of God. So here Paul is saying in the

Book of Romans, it's not being born a Jew, it's not one being

outwardly a Jew, but its circumcision of the heart. In other words,

when you accept Jesus Christ, you become one of abraham seed, a spiritual

Israelite, and errs according to the promise. When Israel, as a corporate

whole and nation turned is back on God. Now it is true the thousands

of Jews in the outpoint of the Holy Spirit accepted Christ, but as a

nation, as a corporate whole, Jewish leadership rejected Jesus. And the Bible

says in Matthew, the twenty third chapter, Your house is left unto you

desolate. The veil in the tempo was split in two. So now we're

looking not at literal Israel, we're looking at spiritual Israel, the Church of

God. Look for example, at Romans chapter nine, verse six to nine.

Romans nine, verse six to nine. Who are Israelites in the New

Testament? Romans nine, and we're looking there at verse six, not as

though the word of God hath taken none effect, for they are not all

Israel, which are of Israel. They're not all Israel was I mean it

means not everybody born a Jew is a spiritual Israelite, because they haven't accepted

Christ. That's what Paul's point is here. Neither because they are the seed

of Abraham. Are they all children? But in Isaac thy seed shall be

called So Romans nine and Romans ten talk about those who were not born as

natural Jews or Israelites being grafted in to the olive tree, that is,

they are becoming part of that larger family of the children of Israel. We

find this also very clearly mentioned in Galatians three, verse twenty nine. Galatians

three, verse twenty nine. It couldn't be clear in the Bible and the

New Testament. We're looking at Galatians third chapter. When the Book of Revelations

speaks about Israel, it is speaking about spiritual Israel. Galatians three, verse

twenty eight twenty nine. There is neither jeude nor Greek. There is neither

bond nor free. There is neither male nor free male nor for you are

all one in Christ. If you are Christ's you are what Abraham seed and

heirs according to the promise. So who is it that our heirs according to

the promise that God gave Abraham, the promise of the promised Land, the

promise that one day we will live with Christ in heaven. Abraham was on

his way to a new country. He went out, according to Hebrews eleven,

knowing to a country. He didn't know where he was going, but

he knew it was a better land that God had prepared for him. We

are the Abraham Seed. Just as he was leading ultimately the children of Israel

to the promised land, he today is leading us to the heavenly promised land.

And as he says so clearly in Galatians chapter three, you are Abraham's

seed. If you come to Christ airs according to the promise. So who

is a spiritual Israelite Those that have accepted Christ, those for whom Christ is

all in all, those who place their affections on things above, as it

says in Cautions three, verse two, those who seek Christ first in all

of his righteousness, as it says in Matthew six, verse thirty three.

So let's go back to our passage now and see what it says here.

In Revelation chapter seven, God is saying that a great time of trouble is

going to come upon the earth. That before that time of trouble comes,

God is going to send a message to the whole world, leading men and

women back to obedience to Him. The Holy Spirit will lead them to a

deep conviction of the need for obedience. Saved by faith, redeemed by grace,

They'll be led to obey God, and they will be led to keep

His Sabbath, the great seal in the Law of God, And that will

be accomplished not through their work, but through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Now, verse four, I heard the number of them which were sealed,

and they were sealed one hundred and forty four thousand of all the tribes

of the children of Israel. So who are the tribes of the children of

Israel. They are spiritual Israelites who have accepted Jesus Christ. This is a

term referring to the Church of God. It's a term referring to believers.

It's a term believing to the remnant of God who are faithful at the coming

of Jesus. Now you say, what about that number, one hundred forty

four thousand. Is it a literal number of the tribe of Judah. We're

sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe Reuben twelve thousand, Gad twelve thousand,

Asher twelve thousand, Nephulum twelve thousand, man Asses twelve thousand, Simeon twelve

thousand, v twelve thousand, Isca twelve thousand, zabu On twelve thousand,

Joseph twelve thousand, Benjamin twelve thousand. Here's the problem. If you say

this is a literal number, that's problematic because number one, those twelve tribes

don't exist today. You can go back, for example, to the nation

of Israel and ask people, well, are you from the tribe of Dan

Manassa. They don't exist. The tribes, so intermarried, And why would

you say exactly twelve thousand from every tribe. Remember we talked about numbers in

the Bible being so significant. Three the number of the Godhead, the number

of four, the four corners of the earth. The number seven perfection.

Six is imperfection in the Bible. Where seven represents the truth, six represents

the counterfeit, triple six represents the triple counterfeit that's contrary to the will of

God and the plans and purposes of God. What about twelve? You have

twelve tribes in the Old Testament that represent the totality or universality, all of

the people of God. You have twelve disciples that represent all the people of

God. You have in the New Testament, the entire Church of God.

You have twelve gates in the New Jerusalem representing all humanity that will come in.

You have twelve times twelve, one hundred and forty four representing the total

number of saved at the time of the end. Wouldn't it be rather strange

to think that of the seven eight billion people on the face of planet Earth,

only one hundred and forty four thousand are going to be redeemed an end

time Certainly God's grace a bounds and is much greater than sin. Certainly God

is going to have a multitude that nobody could number, that is sin to

meet him in the sky of every nation, kindred tongue, and people twelve

thousand from every tribe. Those tribes don't exist today. What's it talking about

that people from every realm of this part of this globe, every realm of

life, are going to come? Now? How can we identify this one

hundred and forty four thousand even more clearer? Remember we talked about the fact

that in Revelation chapter seven and fourteen we have the one hundred and forty four

thousand. Now there are seven characteristics of the one hundred and forty four thousand.

We want to take a look at. Here. In Revelation fourteen,

I looked and low, and I stood on Mountain Zion with him one hundred

and forty four thousand. First, they are with Christ on Mount Zion.

Mount Zion was the mount that used to be a Jebusite fortress. It was

where David establishes Citadel, a little bit southeast of Jerusalem. It was a

place of safety. The one hundred and forty four thousand. Ultimately, well

stand with Jesus on Mount Zion. They will be secure from the chaos,

the calamity, the heartache of the earth. But notice the Father's name is

written their foreheads. In the Bible, the Father's name is his character.

Now notice where the Father's name is written in their forehead? Is there anything

else written in the forehead of somebody throughout the Book of Revelation. In Revelation

thirteen, the mark of the beast is in the foreheader. In the hand.

What is the hand represent? It represents coercion, force, or pressure.

We don't receive God's name or his seal in our hands. Why not?

Because God gives us freedom of choice. He never coerces, he never

pressures us. But the beast power that arise at the last days of Verse

history will have an economic boycott pass that nobody could buy or sell. He

will oppress God's people, will persecute God's people, put God's people in prison,

and there'll be a death decree according to Revelation thirteen, that hangs over

their heads. God's people will go through. Why because they're sealed the evil

one During the time of trouble, the time of the seven Last place cannot

touch them, but they'll reveal to a waiting world and a watching universe God's

glory and his goodness, just like Shadrack Mishak and a bend to go with

into the fiery flames. But Jesus was there with him. Jesus will be

with his people. I love that old song. Just when I need him,

Jesus is new. Hear just when I falter, just when I fear,

just when I need him most. Jesus will be with his people.

Then, So notice these things about the one hundred and forty four thousand.

They have the Father's name in their foreheads, the Father's name. They are

totally loyal to Christ. They reveal the Father's character. See the devil puts

his mark in the ford in the hand. He that convinces you with his

lies Johnny, verse forty four. Satan is the liar, and he's the

father of lies. So he that deceives you with his lies and gets you

in your head, or he forces you and puts your pressure on you to

confirm conform to his ways, even you don't believe it. But Jesus appeals

to us with love. He is the lamb of God who died for the

sin the world, and he appeals through his love, through his grace,

through his mercy, of what he's done for us to get us to come

to him. So we notice these characteristics. Second, I heard a voice

verse two Revelation fourteen, as the voice of many harpers, a voice of

great thunder, voice of harps. With their harpers, they sung, as

it were, a new song before the throne. The one hundred forty four

thousand sing a new song. What is that new song? It is the

song of redemption. It's the song of their experience. They have found Jesus

faithful in the most difficult time of life. They found Jesus faithful during the

plagues. They found Jesus faithful during the time of tribulation. They never gave

up on Jesus, but Jesus never gave up on them. They sing the

song of victory. They sing the song of glory. It says nobody could

learn that song, but the one hundred and forty four thousand. Who are

these one hundred forty four thousand. The one hundred and forty four thousand is

a term to describe those who reveal God's glory, who reveal God's grace in

the last days of Verse history. They are spiritual Israelites. That is,

they are the Church of God, the Remnant of God, the people of

God from every nation, kindred Dunguan people who stand for Christ during the last

days of Verse history and do not yield their faith. We saw first that

they have the Father's name in their forehead. We saw a second that they

sing a new song. We saw as well that these were not defiled with

women. Now notice what does mean they're not defiled with women. In the

book of Revelation, you have two great women. You have the True Church,

the Bride of Christ adorned in white respond it with God's glory in Revelation

twelve. You have the false Church, the scarlet woman in Revelation seventeen.

The true Church feasts on the word of God in Revelation twelve. The false

Church in Revelation seventeen passes around the wine cup of her doctrine. People drink

of that, and they become intoxicated with that false wine of her doctrine.

These people have not defiled themselves with false doctrine. They've not been deceived by

the spirits of spiritualism, and have accepted the immortal soul. They've not accepted

son worship that has come down through pagan worship down through the centuries. They

have been loyal to Jesus and loyal to Christ. So what do we know

about them so far? They have the Father's name in their forehead. His

character is revealed in their life. They sing a new song. They sing

the song of victory that Christ has been with them. They are not defiled

with women. They have not accepted false doctrines. They are virgins. That

is to say that they are pure and true and chaste to their one lover,

Christ, committed to him. They followed the Lamb wherever he goes.

We follow him in heaven because we followed him on earth. We follow him

there because we've followed him. Here are you following Jesus here? Is there

anything in your life that would keep you from living with Him in eternity?

The Holy Spirit now wants to work in your life. He wants to seal

you. He wants to lead you into a place both intellectually and spiritually,

so you will not be moved in the final crisis. Are you letting the

Holy Spirit muld your life? Are you letting the Holy Spirit work in your

heart? Are you letting the Holy Spirit convict you of sin and bringing things

up deep within the heart that you never knew were there? Jealousy, pride,

anger, bitterness? Are you allowing the Spirit to root these things out

of your life and shape you to write God's law in your heart? So

you love obedience, to write God's law in your mind, so you know

what he wants you to do. These are the characteristics of the one hundred

and forty four thousand. The Bible says as well, please follow the land

wherever he goes. They were redeemed from among men. In other words,

these people came from Earth. So who are the one hundred and forty four

thousand. They are the final generation to live upon the earth, having the

character of God in their foreheads, that character of God in their minds.

They stand before God redeemed and they sing the song of Victory. They are

part of God's honor convoy, and they follow the Lamb wherever he goes.

They travel with him from star to star, planet to planet. They reveal

His grace and his goodness before unfallen worlds. They are redeemed from the Earth.

They have not accepted false doctrine. Notice it says they are the first

fruits unto God in the Lamb. What does it mean that they are the

first fruits of God in the Lamb For the first time in the history of

the universe, an entire body of people or are taken up to heaven without

seeing death. Remember what Jesus said through the apostle poem fet Thessonians four sixteen

and seventeen. The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with

the voice of the archangel and the trump of God. The dea Christ shall

rise first. Then we which are alive, we which are what alive,

shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air.

But here is a generation, an entire corporate body of people. Elijah.

Elijah was taken to heaven without seeing death. He ascended and was translated.

Enoch was taken to heaven without seeing death. So we do have Enoch and

Elijah's examples in the Old Testament. We don't ever have a corporate hole a

body of people. That's who these one hundred and forty four thousand are.

They've lived through the time of trouble. The seal of God's been in their

foreheads. They cannot be moved. They've been anchored in Christ through the ministry

of the Holy Spirit. And the Bible says here in Revelation chapter fourteen that

it says they're the first fruits of God in the lamb. They are raised

from the dead, the first fruits, not in the sense of time,

but in the sense of the asked that God has as a generation, as

a church, and he raises them from the dead. I mean they're resurrected,

and they join those of resurrected from the dead, and they ascend with

Heaven with Christ. It says in their mouth was found no guile. What

does it mean? No guile in their mouth, no hypocrisy, They don't

live a double life. The grace of Christ transforms them, and they stand

before the universe as those that are totally committed to Christ. And then it

says, for they are without fault before the throne of God. Why are

they without fault before the throne of God? What makes them without fault?

They have come to Jesus. Jesus is there all and all. They've found

Jesus, and that's all they want, and that's all they need. As

Christ fills their heart. Their minds do not go wandering after other gods.

Their hearts are not divided. God is longing for a people with an undivided

heart. And you say, Pastor Mark, I don't know, however,

good stand through that time. I feel so weak at times I don't reflect

his character. How can I ever be ready when he comes? The Bible

says in Hebrews chapter twelve, verse one and two, it says he's the

author and finisher of our faith, and Philippians one Paul says that he that

has begun a good work in you will finish it if you allow Jesus to

come into your life today. If you tell Jesus I don't want to do

anything that you don't want me to do. Lord, all I want to

do is what you want me to do. But you say, Pastor,

I'm not quite sure what he wants me to do. Do the thing he

puts in your heart. Do what you believe will please him. Do.

Remember what it says in John eight, verse twenty nine, I do always

those things that please the Father. Get down on your knees, play fair

with God, be honest with God, and say, God, whatever pleases

you, I want to do. Who are the one hundred and forty four

thousand. They are the redeemed, who are alive when Jesus comes. They're

members of what the Bible calls the remnant, those who remain faithful and loyal

to God. They are totally absolutely committed to God, and through His Holy

Spirit, God seals them so they cannot be moved when the crisis around them

breaks. Would you like to say, Jesus, I want to stand with

that group. Let's pray, Father in Heaven, thank you so much for

Jesus. Thank you that we can live for you. Thank you that we

can be your children. Lord. Often in ourselves and our lives we see

so much weakness, but there is strength in you. Seal us by your

spirit, help us have undivided hearts, and help us stand for you amid

the crisis of the world. May the only thing we want is to please

Jesus now and through eternity in Christ. On Adventist Radio London, Inspiration for the soun
