SPEAKER_00 1:34

Give mom a little break today. So we can go ahead and everybody can introduce themselves.

SPEAKER_02 1:43

Good morning. I'm Pat. I'm just glad to be here once again. Can't wait, Antoine, hear what you got to say.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

I'm Richard Shaw, and I'm just happy to be here. Like, share, subscribe, and bring 10 friends.

SPEAKER_07 1:57

Amen. And this is June in the room. Like Rich said, like, share, and subscribe and bring 10 of your friends.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

Amen. Bring 20, not 10. Double that up a little bit. Well, today I'm going to be going over the topic restoration. This topic hit me earlier this year when I was a lot of things hit me during my fast earlier this year. A lot of different topics, a lot of different things that I had to personally work on, such as cleansing my closet, which is a topic we did earlier, and the one that came after that was restoration around that same time. Now, the definition of restoration that I um came up with or came across was the act of God taking something broken, lost, or ruined and returning it, often improving it beyond its original condition to fulfill his divine purpose. Key word is his divine purpose. Now, this I'm not talking about when you get an old house and you try to refurbish it and do all those different things, make it look nice and pretty, but it's a similar analogy. So this is pretty much the same thing, but we're talking from a spiritual aspect, just to give you all a little um example. Now, the Hebrew root word of restoration is shov or shov. In the Old Testament, it means to turn back, return or reverse, signifying a spiritual or physical return to God and to reestablish the reestablishment of his people, meaning returning, like an example, returning from exile or restoring the temple. Now, the group, the Greek root word would be apakathystomy. Apacathystomy. Yeah, that's a long one. And another the other word is katartarze katartis. Oh. Katartiso. Katartiso.

SPEAKER_07 4:08

Don't ever talk about me. He done fumbled over the.

SPEAKER_00 4:13

I was practicing it too before I got here. I was trying to practice the Latin. I said, no, that's all right. It's called the first one is spelled A-P-O-K-A-T-H-I-S-T-E-M-I. Apacathistomy. Apacathistomy.

SPEAKER_02 4:31

That's Greek.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

That is the Greek form. Now, in the New Testament. She would call me out. That's messed up. In the New Testament. In the New Testament, it means restoring something to its original intended position or fitting, joining, or and equipping a person for their proper use and destination. Now, beyond repair to renewal is a big part of this. Well, a part of it. I don't say big part, but a part of it. Unlike everyday restoration, biblical restoration frequently involves receiving back more grace, strength, or blessing than was lost, mirroring God's redemptive character. I'm gonna say that one more time. When something's beyond repair to renewal. Unlike everyday restoration, biblically restoration frequently involves receiving back more grace, strength, or blessing than was lost, mirroring God's redemptive character. Now, there's some key dimensions that go along with this. Um, spiritual restoration, such as turning the human heart back to God, cleansing past guilt or fear, and renewing inner joy. Psalm 51 and 12 states, restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free spirit.

SPEAKER_03 6:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 6:08

Now, this was a psalm that uh that David said when Nathan the prophet came to him and pathetic. Okay, Bathsheba. Okay, I said it right. Thank you. Leave me alone, Mom. I see it from the side. Now, it's a form of relational and emotional healing, mending broken spirits, um broken spirits to reconciliation and healing the brokenhearted. Now, there can be a physical and circumstantial recovery too. God providing the provision. Um, an example would be in Jeremiah 30 and 17. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord, because they called thee an outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no more seeketh after. Now, that was one from an aspect of the physical and um circumstantial uh recovery. Now, another form would be the restoration after trials. A good example would be going to um such as like Job are returning from um what the word I can read mine right.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

Wait, wait.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

Okay, but I'm gonna such as Job are returning from national exile. I don't know how that looks a little crazy. Another form would be ultimate cosmic restoration. That is the find of acts, the the find to find acts of God's redemptive timeline where Jesus Christ makes all things new. Yeah, replacing the fallen universe with renewal, heaven, and earth.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 8:02

Now, I have a whole lot on this, so I'm gonna let you all kind of expound on some of the things that you have to add on to it.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

Um when you said the you said the cos the cosmos.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

Cosmic.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

Cosmic part.

SPEAKER_00 8:16

The ultimate cosmic restoration.

SPEAKER_02 8:18

Right. So I I thought about going all the way from the beginning where the restoration had to take place because Adam sinned and failed God. So God had to restore that relationship, and that's where it started. We had to be restored to God first. And what God did, he made that plan for his son Jesus to come down, right? To save us from from that from sin. That restored us back to have a relationship with God. So it took me back, but it was for a reason because that when you said the cosmic part is when when Jesus said when he died and and and went ascended to heaven, he said, and uh, I'm going away to prepare a place for you. So we're being we're being prepared for the final restoration, for the new heaven and a new earth, and that's in Revelation, I think, 21. Yeah, and it talks about that when he said cosmic, that's what made me think about that the original uh why we need restoration. Because man failed God. You know, and uh my thought was that you I wrote this down, let me see if I can find it right here. Yeah, it's I said right here, um you cannot you cannot restore the things that that's already broken, only the things that's been uh destroyed. And then and then God makes it better. You said that. You said when you said more than before, I thought about yeah, but he makes it better than be than the the first. And so uh we we better be grateful that we're here under the under the grace, under a dispensation of grace, because he's restoring from the beginning, and we're gonna be with him in the end to see, we're gonna see it for ourselves, the new heaven and a new earth. So, yeah, I thought about that. That more is gonna be more beautiful, it's gonna be more than it was in the beginning.

SPEAKER_07 10:21

When I think about restore or restoration, I think about as far as an example of myself. Um like when I was young, a teenager in my 20s, you know, I I knew I was saved. You see what I'm saying? I was saved, but when God restored me back to my faith, I'll say, because I was lost, but now I'm found. And the rest the restoration with my life is I am not the same. I'm the new and improved form of June. Because the old June that was saved, I just accepted, yeah, I'm saved, and I I did, I'll do the bare minimum because I know I'm saved. But now my perspective on my restoration is that I want to be more like Christ for real. I'm serious about this walk this time. You see what I'm saying? The old June didn't care. But now, with being in the restored state, I want to be more like him. And I know it pains me because it's really virtually impossible for me to be more, to be like him, but I just pray to be in the likeness of him. Because I talk about being a representative all the time because the life that I lived in the past was nothing like I should have. And I'm so thankful that God restored my mind. I'm thankful he restored my soul, I'm thankful he just restored me, period, to want to be who I am becoming in Christ. Yes, God. That's just a personal testimony. And uh restoration often begins with repentance and turning back to God, and we have to forgive. We say that all the time. We have to uh seek reconciliation, seeking peace in our lives and restoring friendships if you can. We have to constantly uh stay in the face of God uh with gentle guidance, guidance, people who are like new believers or people that are are, you just have to pray for them instead of dog them. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 13:18

Amen. That's right.

SPEAKER_07 13:19

Because you have to look at where you were before. Yeah. How dare I look at you differently because God has restored me, and you might be quietly working on your restoration. So who am I? We are to encourage each other. That's what I'm getting at. Yeah. It's support, support each other. That's true. Amen.

SPEAKER_00 13:44

That's kind of like rededicating yourself sometime when people rededicate themselves to Christ and stuff like that, the same thing.

SPEAKER_02 13:51

Go back, yeah. Because he is married to the backslider, and you have that, you have that option. You know, that's your choice. Yep. If you backslide, you know, whatever, not saying that that was your situation. I was backsliding. But uh, you know, you have that choice. And God is that gracious, just like David, David knew, you know, uh, and so we gotta think about it. Are we gonna do uh mess up and and just have a moment of pleasure, like you were saying, he messed up with with that man's wife with Bathsheba. You know what I'm saying? Or just you know, live your life out with God, you know. Yeah, she's beautiful, this and that, and another, but turn your head or something, you know, get out the window.

SPEAKER_01 14:32

Right, right. We need to look into her.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

That's the what the lust of the eyes, and you know, and all that stuff get us in trouble and that breaks that relationship with God. But I love how June broke it down because you the steps is he did it. He always did it. David, I love him because he quickly repented. Soon as Nathan told him, I repent. Yeah. Once again, you know what I'm saying? And then he turned. Uh repentance is not just saying, I'm sorry, God, then I'm gonna go do something else. It's a it's a complete turnaround in your life. So, yeah, he gives us opportunities to be restored back to him and confess it. Stop that, stop that saying, you know, and then pushing the blame. She shouldn't have been out there in that water. All that's going on. No.

SPEAKER_06 15:24

Right.

SPEAKER_02 15:25

We need to push the blame. Right. The book. Yeah, little Adam syndrome. And you gave me that woman. But I can tell you to let you know.

SPEAKER_07 15:42

I have to keep that document. That's the only one.

SPEAKER_01 15:49

But you won't give it to me.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

That's the narcissistic behavior. And how can he be restored though if you keep doing that? You know, that's true. So that's what I love about David, man. He went, he was a king of Israel. Man. And uh and a true soldier, you know what I mean? I'm talking about battlefield soldier. And this man humbled himself and said, Look here, create in me a clean heart, God. Yes, and renew the right spirit in me.

SPEAKER_00 16:17

Just to give a little tidbit to help some people out of the two, that it just hit me not. Because I used to even mention David again because, like I remember I said before, like I used to go to sleep to like like animal movies, I mean videos, stuff like that. But out of nowhere, I started getting these biblical movies in my YouTube algorithm. Where I mean it'd be like a two or three-hour movie just on a certain person, things like that. And David was one that came up and Ezekiel. Oh. I'm just giving these to help people out. That's a different way to even still get the wisdom of the word.

SPEAKER_06 16:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:51

A different way, but still study. Don't even try to get your mind that. But that's what I sleep to now, just so the word stays in my mind fresh when I'm sleeping. That's good. And when I wake up, it's fresh in my spirit, too. So that's just to give a little tip, but information to people out there.

SPEAKER_02 17:05

Yeah, that's wonderful. I do the same.

SPEAKER_01 17:09

I do say restoration. In the Bible, God's power to bring healing, renewal, and a fresh start after loss, brokenness, or sin. See, it takes me back uh when I lost the employment and we were trying to uh start with the four M's. And I had a conversation with Twine, like, man, how can I speak life into these guys when I'm it's hard to speak it into myself right now? You know, but one word that was with me that whole time was restoration, and I never really knew why until I started that journey with the 4M's, and I'm like, man, I was able to see the tools in which God was using to restore me. You know, but a lot of times we just think surface, lost. Yeah, yeah. You know, we forget about the healing, the renewal, and that fresh start. Restoration is for that fresh start. Like the ultimate goal of restoration is not just fixing the past, is God's making all things new through Jesus Christ. But we we think so warily of the materials that we lost. Man, and man, and we we we we forget how blessed we are, yes, and we forget to monitor God moving daily in our life, you know. Um think of like uh Job after losing his family wealth, yeah, God restored his fortune twofold. But that's fortune. But when you come over to 1 Peter 5 and 10, it says, and after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you. Thank you, Lord. We miss that the spiritual part of restoration. We just dwell on the monetary and the material part of restoration, but this was so deep when I was looking and I went to research, I'm like, man, what's the second topic? And then I seen restoration, and I was like, taken back because I remember my own personal journey after losing employment. And yeah, bro, Twine boy, you don't understand. That phone, that one phone call led all the way through the restoration process. And then I remember when me and my lady came to see y'all sing y'all's impression word. See, this is all a part of the restoration. This was this was what my soul was yearning for in these journeys. And boy, you was a part of all of that. Yeah, you're not even knowing. That's right. You was a part of all that, all that praying you did for your brother, all that, come on, man, let's do this for him, man. Come on, man, come see this concept, man. Come on, man. It was so constant. I never really noticed that it was a part of God's plan the whole time. It was tools he was using to restore me. Not just to Daddy Rich, good for the music, good for the family, love his family, but so he can use me as a part of his kingdom.

SPEAKER_07 20:49

Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

Through Jesus Christ, he restored me. You know, and ain't nothing better than that. You can get all that, you can get all that stuff back.

SPEAKER_02 20:58

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01 20:59

You know, the materials, the money, the opportunity, you can get all that, but it's gonna have to come from Christ after restoration. So, man, I just I was just sitting here and when I seen the the the the topic, I was like, wow. That was that one word that kept echoing from from the moment I walked, I came to you and told you I was about to leave, all the way till I'm sitting here now. This word restoration has been echoing in my head and in my life. And I was wondering before that, it wasn't a thing. I I I never really thought about the word restoration. But from that point, when I came back there and told you this whole time, you've been a part in a tool that God used to restore me. Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_07 21:54

Thank you, Jesus. Wonderful. As crazy as he is.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

Man, but he was just I was still constant too. You know, even when I was, I was, I was low, low.

SPEAKER_06 22:07

You know, it was dark. You know, it was dark.

SPEAKER_01 22:10

You know, um, Twine, boy, you've been a constant in this restoration process in my life. Thank you, Judy.

SPEAKER_00 22:19

Right. And it's a good thing. Look, we went through deacon trials together, too.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

You see what I'm saying? How constant it was. And now sitting back on this side of it, knowing, dang, you use one of my favorite people to restore me and be a constant in my life the whole time.

SPEAKER_06 22:39

Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

To to to keep that glimpse of hope there until you did whatever it was, pruned me, straightened me up, filleted me, laid me prostrate, all that. You know, and man, I mean, I'm so thankful to God for you, bro. You just don't know, man. Man, yeah. You trying to make me cry. Well, the blessing.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

But the key thing is, honestly, now you say that I was going through the same thing. I was being restored too at the same time. But the one thing with me is I I was I wasn't living right. I wasn't doing right. And but my times really started back when, honestly, when my mom asked me to be a part of that choir, the um community choir. That's when it started for me. And at that point, I just knew I loved to sing gospel. Because I'm like, I love singing this music. I wasn't even going to church or none of that. Nothing. I was just going to be a part of the choir. And I had my princess up there, she's singing with me and stuff too on the side. Um, and from that, from that day, from that forward, like going to that, like the standing, the um, the bonus to even lead a song, that's something I've never done. And like, that wasn't nothing but the Lord in that. I was so nervous. I mean, but I could, but I did it because I love the Lord that much. And from Him to think of me.

SPEAKER_07 24:06

Thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_00 24:07

Right, brother.

SPEAKER_07 24:08

Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

That's all right. Thank you. Thank you, Lord.

SPEAKER_07 24:11

That's all right. Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

To look at me and think of me through all the filth, the poor decisions, mistakes, and always be there through it all. And to see me as a person that he wants to do that, he put me in a position where, like, even when we started the deacon thing, even before that, I wasn't even a member of a precious word then, but yet the ministry came along. And that was God not only using me for the, I guess, in your walk, but God was using my mom to point different things at me and blessings that he was just throwing at me, man, like the opportunities. I see them as blessings. I've always had a thing for kids in my heart, just like you always have. Right. It's all been about those kind of things. And as those, as time progressed, he started molding on me. All the poor relationship decisions I was making and dealing with all these different things outside trying to live worldly, but then in his way. And he had to open my eyes, like, bro, you doing this wrong. For one, you want a wife, but are you a husband? Are you other mature? Do you even know how to love correctly? Wow. Amen. So through all this time, all these, the loving, uh, studying how to be a husband and the correction of my own way, getting my own self getting away was a part of my restoration throughout that time too. Because I was struggling too, going through it. Yeah, I'm good at helping others and giving kind words and whatever, and whatever the Lord give me to others. But for me myself, I had an issue with that. And that was a heart issue. Circumcision of the heart is what opened that up for me. Amen. That's what taught me. And it opened my mind up to the true meaning of for one, this walk and how serious it is. Because honestly, I was taking it serious, but I truly wasn't at the same time.

SPEAKER_06 26:02

I understand.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

Because one thing by me, I'm dedicated. When I say I'm gonna do something, I'm dedicated to it. And when we started that ministry, it was like the Lord was like, here, every day before we go on there, we what we do? We pray. And every time the perfect thing happened. Whatever was needed for the day occurred. Well, them young men was looking at us, they looked at us as like, ah, them some corny old dudes, but then they start looking at us like, man, these they love us for real. We made a point to let them know every day we love y'all and we hurt y'all. Right. Something that a lot of people don't understand or may not realize. The word love is not used properly a lot of time, and kids don't hurt enough. No, they don't. Right. And but just to get back on the point, all these different things was happening as God was restoring me to. And when this hit me um the beginning of this year, during that fast, I was struggling with certain things because I was like, am I living my purpose? Because you, I mean, you talked about that. And and she like, son, you don't see, you are.

SPEAKER_05 27:05

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:05

And I was bewildered, but I'm like, I am? Because in me, I know it's so much more I can do for him.

SPEAKER_07 27:11

That's it. Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

Because this, once I realize, this life ain't about me.

SPEAKER_02 27:17

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00 27:18

It ain't about nothing to do with me. It's about him and about other people.

SPEAKER_02 27:22

Yes, God.

SPEAKER_00 27:24

And yes, I've made mistakes along the way, and and I'm, I know I have, but just for him to still be there for me through all that, man.

SPEAKER_02 27:32

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 27:33

That's the one thing that that resonated and hit it so hard that like now with this narcissistic thing we just did on the previous podcast, it opened my eyes that I still had some of that pride issues too, in certain ways. Because I never viewed myself like that. That's the second time that happened. When we did pride again, and then when I did this, I'm like, man, I still did not realize. Because I'm I'm gonna get I'm gonna get to the end. To keep it short, pride is one of them things that can be a hidden thing if you don't pray for it. Oh yeah. If you don't pray for God to show you the different things that are in you that you don't know, or are you not actually seeing yourself? Right. But when those times come, man, it's it's so mind-blowing. This is very humbling doing this because it made me, we look at myself, we look at how I've been moving and how I had to alter and change my way of thinking and how I've been living. So, like, certain things I make, some stuff the Holy Spirit is told I can't talk about yet, but God has been working on me in ways and putting things in me that is gonna help me edify him more.

SPEAKER_07 28:41

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 28:42

And this is just the beginning.

SPEAKER_07 28:44

Amen. Thank you, Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 28:46

But um I'm just, I know we're kind of short on time, so I'm gonna give, I'm gonna give these four steps of uh restoration that I came across. So I was long-winded. Um, the first one is confession. Naming, admitting, and taking accountability for sin or wrongdoing before God instead of hiding or making excuses. That's good. Yeah. A good reference to Psalm 51 and 3. Um, cleansing is the next one. Receiving God's forgiveness, washing away guilt, and experiencing spiritual purification through his grace.

SPEAKER_02 29:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 29:24

That would be in Psalms 51, 2, and 7. The next is creating. Asking God to renew, transform, and recreate a pure heart. That ref be Psalms 51 and 10. And the last one will be calling, being restored to fellowship and equipped with a renewal, purpose, renewed purpose to live out God's will and serve others. And that'll be in Psalm 51, 12 through 13.

SPEAKER_07 30:02

Amen.

SPEAKER_00 30:02

And just to give a reference to what Ms. Pat was saying, the uh verse will be Revelation 21 and 5. And um that and then actually in that one, um, this is eschat eschatology. I came down from the word, I'm getting too emotional. This is the eschatological, no eschatology code. Restoration involves the renewal of all creation and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom.

SPEAKER_06 30:28

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 30:28

And just so people can know what eschatology is the root word. Eschatology is the is the theology, theology, or study of the end days. And that's something I want to thank uh Bishop Bingham on because I actually did an eschatology class with him too. And it was very deep. And the key thing is when it comes to that, it's a lot of opinion-based things in there, because only God can truly know what the end days are. Just so you all can know.

SPEAKER_07 30:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:58

But um, I know we're short on time. Did you all have anything you all want to add?

SPEAKER_07 31:02

No, I just praise God for this. No, I'm I'm gonna be short, real short. I just praise God for uh this topic because we have to know that you can be restored. You can. There's nothing that you can't do. There's nothing you can do or can't do that God won't restore you from. Amen.

SPEAKER_02 31:29

And Jude tells us, and Jude uh uh 1 and 20 and 21, it says, but you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. That's the full restoration. My brother over there was talking about, you know, it's in Christ Jesus that we're restored. You know, must ask. That's right.

SPEAKER_07 32:08

And he's right there. Yes, he is. Ask God to restore your mind, your heart, just to restore your vessel, period.

SPEAKER_01 32:20

Just to add shortly, the key types of restoration is restoration of the soul. You can read that Psalms 23 and 3, restoration of joy. You can read that in Psalms 51 and 12, restoration of lost years and fortune. You can read that Job 42 and 10, and Joel 2, 25, and 26, spiritual renewal in Christ. You can read that 2 Corinthians 5 and 17, and uh just shortly, um talking about Peter. After denying Jesus three times, Peter was personally reinstated and forgiven by Jesus by the Sea of Galilee, restoring him to his leadership calling. And lastly, Isaiah 61 and 7 says, Instead of your shame, there shall be a double portion, there shall possess they shall possess a double portion, they shall have everlasting joy. And finally, ending with Acts 3 and 21, speaks of the ultimate promise of the time of restoring all the things about which God spoken by the mouth of his holy prophet long ago.

SPEAKER_00 33:33

Amen. That's good. Man, I um I just want to thank you all that that's chimed in, or all that that listen to this, and trust me, this is a very deep one. And and and if you haven't looked at yourself to actually restore the things that you may need to focus on and work on, that's come to Christ and He'll he'll open your eyes to it. I'm a living testimony there because I had to pray on this one too. And as I prayed on it, he started showing me and revealing different things to me here more recently that I need to focus, get back, focus more on, and things that I need to not so much focus on that I was prioritizing before. But to give a couple of more uh Bible verses, um go to Luke 19 and 10, where um it shows example, Jesus heals the sick and raises the dead and forgives sins, bringing people into the right relationship with God. Um, another one would be Galatians 6 and 1, where um Paul emphasizes restoration within the church to those who have fallen into sin. So that lets you know whether in church, out of church, whatever you may be in your life, restoration is a key part to getting back to God and a key way to finding out and cleaning out the things that you of your old may be present and may need to be cleansed out. Just allow the Lord to rebuild it and make it a way much better thing. Such as like what I've started off with before, a house that, like people that flip house, they buy houses all rough and rugged. But by the time they get done, they got standing steel refrigerators and stoves, new vinyl flooring, things of that nature. God can do the same thing to you.

Amen. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:16

I guess I'm gonna pray us out my back. Excuse me. Lord and Heavenly Father, we come to you today. Just thank you for your restoration, Lord. Thank you for just always being there for us, even though we're sinners, Lord. And you can just turn your back and say, I don't want no more of that. But you still are there, you're still here helping us and guiding us. Thank you for your alignment and thank you so much for Vent 101, Lord. Thank you for that. This has been a very vital part of my walk and my growth within your way. And it's been giving me the things that's needed for me to be a better person in your way and your way only, Lord.

SPEAKER_06 35:50

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 35:50

I ask that the listeners out there that you touch them, Lord, and help them be restored. Touch the Holy Spirit within them so they can see and get the guidance, the revelation, so they can do better and be restored in your way so they can be anew too, Lord. And we ask that you continue to cover Vent 101, Lord, and continue to give us the wisdom and the guidance that we need so we can continue to stick to the task of saving souls for your glory, Lord.

SPEAKER_06 36:17

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 36:17

We're trying to fill it up as much as we can, Lord, because we love you. We love you with all our heart, Lord. And I just want to continuously thank you for your mercy, your grace, thank you, Jesus, and your favor that you've shown upon all of us, Lord. Yes, right. Because um, you're the one that's in control, so we ask that that you keep us aligned and that we keep that there's no more distractions. And if somebody's dealing with the enemy attacking them, we ask that that you can bind them up and you take over them, Lord, cover them, bring them back to you, Lord, and to those who may not profess the love for Jesus Christ, ask that you put within their spirits to change their mind and come seek you, Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today and ask Him to be their Lord and Savior too. Yes, because they don't understand this is a lovely side to be on, Lord. It may come with some things that happen, but the enemy is gonna stay busy regardless if we believe in you or not. Yes, sir. But why be on the other side? Stick to the side of the belief so you can grow on your way, Lord. The only way to go. And I ask that for safe passage for those who are that maybe listeners driving, and those who may be out and about right now, Lord. I just ask that you cover them, Lord, at work and all the above. And show them blessings and continue to keep them too, Lord. These are the things that I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
