Hello, my friends, this is Andy and Hedy,
I come to you live from Yorba Linda,
California for the Living
Fearless Devotion.
Hey, production of resurrectministry.com,
where we're harnessing the
power of the internet to
share the gospel all over the world.
Remember,
the Lord Jesus Christ will meet
you where you are,
whether you are a longtime
believer that may have
fallen away or new to the gospel,
our Lord is living, he is risen,
and he will
Meet you where you are.
He wants a direct relationship with you.
So check out our resources, books,
worship bands, preachers to listen to.
Drop us a line.
We'd love to hear from you.
And if this ministry blesses
you in any way,
you can click the donate
now and partner with us.
We're looking still for some
recommendations to get some
new equipment.
We're hoping to get a new camera.
The Perry's had this cool
setup where they put these
on mic stands and
So they were on their couch
and they were just kind of lounging.
I was like, that looks cool.
Well, see, that's not a good idea.
Cause you start to fall asleep.
When I tell my stories,
if you are laying on a couch,
you little risky.
Yeah.
You'll start snoring.
Well, see, but she had her feet on his lap,
so he could have easily
like pinched her toe.
She started to sleep.
Oh, I like that idea.
Make sure you comment and
let us know what you think
about the devotional or
about what it is that we
are talking about.
Or maybe you have some
unique perspective that you
would like to share with others.
Make sure and put that in the comment,
whether you're watching on Facebook,
LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitch, X, or well,
maybe not Rumble today
because for whatever reason
it says that it's...
struggling just a little bit
for some reason rumble is
just one of those platforms
it's new they're working
out the bugs I don't know
uh trump's uh selling to
social today yes is he
selling it or is he going
public with it I think he's
going public same thing
yeah well their leader shares
Yeah, to get some bail money.
Yeah, get some bail money.
Those people,
I'm trying not to use the
call people crazy.
I'm practicing because
apparently that's what my kids want.
That's the only thing they're saying.
Just don't call people crazy.
Don't call people stupid, crazy, lunatics,
demonic, evil.
Demonic is fair.
Can I?
Yeah.
Okay.
I can hang on to that one.
Thank you.
Make sure and let us know if
you have any prayer
requests so that towards
the end of the show,
what we'd like to do is
pray for anyone who has a prayer request.
So put that into the comments also.
That would be amazing.
Next thing is you want to go
to our sponsors like LifeWise.
I have the clarity right
here and I just want to
show you what it's like.
Now I do this and then I
can't talk for a few minutes,
but you open up the package.
All right.
And you take out the little stamp,
then you put it on your tongue.
And then it begins to
dissolve and it restores or no,
it's real restores your clarity.
Assuming you ever had some.
Right?
It does assume the person
started with a little bit of clarity.
Is that directed towards me?
No.
But go to LifeWise.
There are some menopausal
women that suffer from brain fog.
Oh, okay.
I don't know how much it can do for us,
but we can try.
Use the address I have there on the screen,
livelifewise.tv.
That will send you to the
website where you can look
at the products and get some of your own.
And then also look at
StreamYard if you want to
do one of your very own broadcasts.
Maybe a family member.
has been talking about doing
their own podcast,
or maybe they want to share
their hobby or make some
money off of sharing one of their skills,
that you could take those
videos that you create and
put them into a platform
where you can sell access to them.
So all of that is possible with Streamr.
Make sure you go into your
Bibles and open up to Acts 21.
We'll be reading 10 through 14.
Acts 21, 10 through 14.
And for now,
I'm going to read from Tozer
for the Christian Leader for March 22nd.
The title is We Languish for Men.
It's Acts 12, 21, 13 that he's referencing,
and it's the New King's James,
so bear with me.
Then Paul answered,
What mean ye to weep and to
break mine heart?
For I am ready not to be bound only,
but also to die at
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Tozer says to the church is,
hold on one second.
Where were those words that I just said?
The church at this moment needs men,
the right kind of men, bold men.
We languish for men who feel
themselves expendable in
the warfare of the soul,
who cannot be frightened by
threats of death,
but because they have
already died to the
allurements of this world.
Such men will be freed from
the compulsions that control weaker men.
They will not be forced to
do things by the squeeze of
circumstances.
Their only compulsion will
come from within or from above.
This kind of freedom is
necessary if we are to have
prophets in our pulpits
again instead of mascots.
I like that.
These free men will serve
God and mankind from
motives too high to be
understood by the rank and
file of religious retainers
who today shuttle in and
out of the sanctuary.
They will make no decisions out of fear,
take no course out of a desire to please,
accept no service for
financial considerations.
perform no religious act out
of mere custom,
nor will they allow
themselves to be influenced
by the love of publicity or
the desire of reputation.
Oh Lord,
what would it take for me to be
that kind of man or woman?
Do in me whatever work you
need to do today and that I
may die to the allurements
of this world and serve you
with high motives.
Amen.
So I listened to a really
interesting podcast this
morning and it caught my
eye because the pastor was saying,
do you feel unordinarily
sleepy and foggy?
Are you in a brain fog?
And I was like,
and it wasn't one of my fitness videos,
you know?
So I was like, okay,
it's not talking about like
hormone therapy.
It was a pastor.
And I was like, okay, I clicked on it.
And he's like, listen,
there is something over the
earth right now.
over god's people that is
trying to put us in a
stupor and he's like I'm
not talking about a
conspiracy theory okay yeah
there's all that weird
stuff happening with the 5g
um because we're getting a
little nuttier day by day
he says but there's really
a demonic almost like a trance
He's like, I break the spell of hypnosis.
He's like, I,
there's sort of this trance
that's coming over all people,
but it's especially
affecting God's people.
That is like the death by a thousand cuts.
So a couple of things that he pointed out,
one in which I felt very strongly,
even before he said it,
that the Lord was telling
me is as Tozer is saying,
die to the allurements of this world.
As people have heard,
we've talked about some
difficulties that my
daughter or daughter has gone through,
and I felt like the
obsession with trying to fix it.
I lost focus of everything
else in light of that
allurement basically that that
that conundrum basically.
And it was a conundrum
because there was so many
choices to make and so many
decisions to make and so
many rules to implement and
so many changes, you know,
and then meanwhile, in the midst of it,
the Lord kept saying,
Yeah.
And at some point I wanted
to tell the Lord, hello, wait one minute.
Can you wait one minute?
Like,
why are you throwing me in the middle
of this thing?
And then keep telling me to
write the book.
And listening to this pastor,
he brought such clarity to
me because he was basically
saying that a lot of God's
remnant are being called to
a higher purpose.
And so then the enemy's
attacking with an under belt hit.
which is uh whether it's
distraction temptation um
social media being he's
like instead of ministering
the gospel we're scrolling
through our phones he's
like he will do anything to
just distract us because if
he can distract us then we
won't achieve our calling
and he's like and I hear
he's like he should have
heard his prayer for sleep
He said, Lord,
I pray a restorative sleep
over your people.
This anxiety,
this curse on the earth right
now is preventing people from sleeping.
Without sleep, people can't think clearly.
And I was like, praise the Lord.
Hallelujah.
And I think when you can identify that,
um and call it out it's
easier to get over it um so
that's why I made a
commitment to the book and
you know spent a small
fortune to try to
accomplish it because the
the lord was making it
clear to me that your way
through this storm is serving is
going after your purpose,
that there is a strength
that the Lord provides when
we stay on track.
So you've just been hit with
what I've been hit with,
which is the kids saying to you,
oh my God, you've got to stop.
You know what I mean?
And so this is now forcing you, oh my God,
how do I now navigate this?
Because I know this is my calling.
I know I am a man of God.
I know I can't let anything stop me,
but now I've got this to manage.
And I think especially in our case,
We're very blessed to have
gotten over some other obstacles.
And so it's clear to me,
and this may be the case for some of you,
that the kids are our
greatest Achilles heel.
Because we cannot control them.
We cannot control how they behave.
We cannot control what they think.
It's the way that the enemy
can attack us that is
almost completely out of our control.
Because we can control our
own temptations and lusts
and pursuit of holiness and
serving the Lord and all
these other things,
but he can distract us and
tempt us and deviate us
through our children.
Wow.
And so that is a complicated problem.
Truer words have never been spoken.
I had this thought while I
was at Bodie reading the Bible.
I'm not sure if God gave it
to me or it's just
something that just kind of
occurred to me,
is what has been happening
in the church over the last several years,
and apparently during A.W.
Tozer's time, is that a
People get comfortable and
they essentially fall
asleep and close their eyes
to what's happening in the world.
And then they close their
eyes to what's happening in
their church because they
don't want to upset anybody.
And so they close their eyes
and they pretend it's not
happening and say, you know what,
in your messages,
can you just talk about the
verses that are talking about love?
Can you just talk about the
verses that are easy for us to take?
Same thing with what's
happening in the schools.
There's many parents, and again,
this is not a put-down.
It'll sound like one, but it's not.
But there's many parents
that are asleep and have been for many,
many years because they
have to go to work,
because they have a lot of
driving to do with these
sports and things like that.
They are so busy doing other
things that these things
have been occurring for a
very long period of time,
and they continue to occur.
But now, when you bring them up, they go,
no,
I don't want to hear what's happening.
I want to be asleep.
And so this analogy came to
me is that I'm used to this
where I have to do things
that other people won't do.
As a police officer,
we do a lot of work at
night where the evils are
most likely occurring while
people are asleep.
And I,
with a bunch of other men and women
throughout the United States,
are tasked with doing
things while people are
sleeping that are ugly.
And then sometimes when you show,
when they see what we have to do,
wrestle with somebody, tase them,
shoot them, choke them out.
In the past, not now, but now, you know,
the karate restraint, they go, oh, no,
how do you dare?
You can't, I don't want to see that.
And it'd be the panic.
And so that's kind of where we're at.
So it's navigating those waters.
And I've learned from you,
and it actually has been way better,
but now the children, the same thing,
they're saying,
but can you just do it differently?
And now, how do we bring that up?
And I think even pastors are
trying to navigate this now,
because they see that the
church is in trouble.
Like, oh man,
all I've been talking about is, you know,
Matthew and
Mark and the easy books.
Those are good chapters.
Yeah, but they skip over that part.
But it doesn't mean that I stop.
I just need to maybe change a few things,
tweak it here and there,
but yet continue with the battle.
Because it's consistent with
the same things I had told you early on.
Yes.
And it's the same thing, actually,
we hear every day on the news, where
You know, it's we're constantly saying,
can we just have a civil
dialogue that we point to
the problem without name calling?
You know, basically lay out the conflict,
lay out the solution,
lay out the lies without
saying you're an idiot, you're stupid,
you're crazy, you're, you know.
So I have this example that
we saw in Congress.
I think it was a couple of days ago.
AOC, um, questioning Bob Alinsky,
who is 100 business partners and she says,
have you ever seen.
Uh, it with your own eyes, um.
The President Biden, uh, violate any laws.
She asked that question.
And he says, yes.
And then he goes to say, you know,
racketeering, you know, FISA, you know,
he goes and names a bunch of things.
Foreign agent registration.
I mean, all of these things.
And then she goes, wait a minute.
And she's trying to talk
over him and not letting him answer.
And so...
These are the things that
are occurring even in the
school district.
They're saying, we want transparency.
Their signs are holding up like that.
But it's about HR issues.
It's against the law for the
district to tell why
certain people's contracts
have not been renewed.
So I, as a private citizen,
have knowledge of why.
And so I make that, I go,
I'm going to tell you what it is.
They go, you can't.
I go, but you're asking.
I mean,
you're railing against the district
about them not being transparent.
They can't.
So here is why they're not being renewed.
And now they scream bloody murder.
But you can't do that.
But you were just asking us to.
I think that's an unfortunate problem.
Oh, no, I know what my question was.
So my question is,
You know, people want to say,
how dumb is AOC to ask a
question that she doesn't
know the answer to?
How dumb is she to ask a
question realizing that he does know?
And so when you say that,
you see you're calling her dumb.
Well, it is.
But you can say that same
thing about calling her dumb.
Really?
Absolutely.
I don't name call.
It's very uncommon in D.C.
to name call.
You will not get your point across.
People will stop hearing you.
So is that where they have
the problem with President Trump?
Because he's like me, where I come from,
a locker room, a police officer.
This is how we talk.
Why are you so stupid?
We don't do that in D.C.
Oh, no.
Never.
You never name call because
that means you're uncivilized.
Yeah, because honestly,
and that's the way I've always felt,
if you can't win your
argument on the merits,
that's when you start name calling.
you have to be able to win
the argument on the merits
of the argument.
It's also a legal tendency.
So you can make the same claim,
like why would AOC ask a
question she does not know
the answer to when it could
potentially box her in?
It's the opposite of the
answer she expected and served our point.
You don't have to comment on
her intelligence to say that.
Well,
Bobulinski did say that this is one,
and oh my gosh,
I can't remember which one it was.
I want to say racketeering,
but I think it's something else.
FARA, the Foreign Agent Registration Act.
That he was acting as a
foreign agent but had not registered.
Yeah, but there was one more.
But let's just say that
let's say racketeering or for her.
And she says, well,
that's not against the law.
That's not that's not a crime.
And he's like, look, he goes,
wait a minute.
That is a crime.
And everybody that and
that's where I think the stupid.
No,
but you could say she doesn't even know
how to correctly cite the law.
The the insults are just commentary.
They're unnecessary to achieve a point.
Rico.
It was Rico.
Kelly's got your number.
I love our one because I
know I can go to them.
It's like I'm phoning a friend.
But yeah, it was Rico.
He goes, Rico.
And she goes,
Rico's not against the law or
it's not a crime.
And he's going, she says it's a category.
And he goes, yeah, a category of crimes.
That's weird.
But it really is hard in
those moments like that.
I mean, but she says it like,
so matter of factly,
like it's not a crime.
She says it with her, with her thing,
her hands and stuff like that.
How do you, how do you nod?
I mean, is it really that hard?
I mean, it really that easy?
It really is.
It is.
It doesn't occur to me to insult somebody.
Wow.
We have two different.
And I think, and that is,
I think you're exactly right.
I think that's why people hate Trump.
Because he just seems
unsophisticated that he
can't get his argument
across without name-calling.
See, that's name-calling in my belly.
Because I would say that the
majority of people in the United States,
we talk that way.
Like, why are you being such a dummy?
Don't be stupid.
But that's why it resonates
with so many people,
but it's also why it does
not with others.
It's like calling somebody,
and just calm down, everybody,
when I say this,
but it's like calling somebody gay.
Like, my kids will say,
why are you being so gay?
But it's not that they're homosexual.
But you mean it when you say
crazy and dumb and stupid.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's not a fair analogy.
Okay.
You're right.
You got me there.
Oh, yeah.
See,
Carrie's saying it seems like they
don't have a command of the
English language.
Yeah.
a command of the English
language or of the
arguments you're trying to make.
So like when you can't finish a,
a thought or you can't
complete an argument,
you also resort to name calling.
So if you're not,
not able to articulate what
she does wrong, I'm not saying you,
I'm saying anybody,
when you can't articulate,
when a person can't
articulate what the problem
is with the other,
what the other person just said,
they're like, that's just stupid.
Because you can't,
it's difficult to clearly
articulate that is wrong.
So you can easily say in the
current struggle, the school board,
the unions and those that
are in defense of,
that are against the
current school board and
its policies are making up lies.
They're saying things that did not happen.
And they're doing that to
manipulate the public into
believing a narrative.
You can't insult anybody by saying that.
Right.
And it's absolutely true.
You know,
I do do that in my reports to the courts.
You do it all the time.
Because I do want to call them stupid.
And you don't.
It's a great example.
You do it every day to Sunday.
You are absolutely right.
I don't know why it's so much easier.
Because these people just really have me.
I'm just really angry.
I'd like to bring a dog analogy.
Yo!
Yes.
You have to get to the point.
I haven't,
I've heard so many times when
you're talking about dog
training that it cannot be emotional.
The dog, the owner,
the handler and the dog,
the dog can't think you're
emotional about it because
the dog won't respect you.
God, I love you.
you're gonna make me cry I
love you so like that is a
perfect right so you
constantly for decades have
been training people don't
be so emotional it's one of
the first things you told
me about why I was having
such problems with the dog
it's like because the dog
knows you hate him so like
yeah that's what gets
people all riled up you
know and so it's the same
thing in politics
And you've done that.
You've mastered that not
only with a handler and a
pet owner and a dog and a
handler and a canine,
but in the court system.
You have attorneys coming
after you for ridiculous things.
You have people accusing you
of all kinds of things.
You have canine handlers
getting on the stand to
refute you with all kinds of nonsense.
But you don't sit up there going,
you're just dumb.
You don't understand it.
You're just stupid.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
And I don't do it.
You're absolutely right.
Oh, my gosh.
Can I marry you?
I'm taken.
What?
Kevin says,
earlier today must be a lacrosse day.
Kevin, how did you know?
Kevin is smart.
Look at that.
Really smart people.
Carrie says,
it helps to know all of us are
a threat to the wicked one.
Absolutely.
All of us.
um these little ladies
praying for one another and
uh poor carrie should not
get any sleep and uh it
seems like a lot of people
are suffering from um the
sleep problem yeah I took a
tylenol pm last night oh is
that what helped yes and my
dream uh on top of it all
right I heard that in the
middle of the night yes
And so that feeling that I had yesterday,
that anxiousness,
that my heart palpitations
and everything was gone.
It was due to lack of sleep.
For sure.
Yeah.
For sure.
Prayer request to be face
down after surgery.
Need someone to help with
Eddie an hour a day.
Lots of coordination.
Yes.
Amen.
Back surgery.
And I was just happy to see
our notification.
Yes, we are on early.
It's a lacrosse day.
Yes,
and Carrie says 100% right about the
world.
And let's see.
Rocketeering yes, that's we go.
Carrie says stupid as a cuss
word in her house.
It actually is in ours too.
I don't like it.
Yes,
he will ride the children if they say
to one another.
That's why I like saying it
to people that I really despise.
I mean, that's where I get that.
Because if you say it to one of us,
I will smack you in the face.
That is so hypocritical.
No, because I mean it.
I mean that they're stupid.
And I don't like shut up either.
I don't like people that say
shut up in our files.
Yeah.
Those are two words, shut up and stupid.
Yeah, I don't know.
I know.
I'm going to get better.
I promise.
Yeah, I've already got better.
Your analogy is perfect.
it convinced me it is not
easy but I somehow I can
control it on the stand
because sometimes they are
really really yeah and not
only that but they lie they
lie like yeah oh my gosh my
dog alerted you know and
you're going no no he
didn't you know he didn't
everybody knows yeah even
the judge knows even the
judge knows I don't know
what that just was but I
just saw that dog go right
into the window
My favorite always to tell
the story is when the
handler on the video is
heard saying sit to his dog.
And he said, see, my dog alerted.
He goes, no, you told him to sit.
What do you mean?
And the judge goes,
that sounds fine to me.
That sounds plausible.
And you go, okay.
Sorry, we got a lunatic outside our door.
Lunatic?
You used the word lunatic.
I know.
Just joking.
All right.
We haven't read the script yet.
Higelian dialect?
Dialectic.
Okay,
now you've blown out your really big
SAT words, Kerry.
I don't know what that word is.
Something about the words that are chosen.
Yes, but I don't know what high Gilead.
I know what a dialectic is,
but I don't know what high Gilead.
She'll tell us.
After we get to the scripture.
So we're talking about the
Apostle Paul talking about
rugged men that don't
compromise for the gospel.
and the disciples uh were
trying to convince him not
to go to jerusalem because
he was going to be
persecuted so verse 10
starts with and as we
stayed many days a certain
prophet prophet named
agabus came down from judea
when he had come to us he
took paul's belt bound his
own hands and feet and said
Thus says the Holy Spirit,
so shall the Jews at
Jerusalem bind the man who
owns this belt and deliver
him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Now, when we heard these things,
both we and those who were
from that place pleaded
with him not to go to Jerusalem.
And Paul answered,
what do you mean by weeping
and breaking my heart?
For I am ready not only to be bound,
but also to die at
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
So when we knew he would not be persuaded,
we ceased saying,
the will of the Lord be done.
That is so good.
And he's like,
why are you breaking my
heart by trying to get me to stop?
Wow.
So.
Hmm.
And it really.
Oh, my God.
And what you're going
through with the kids now
reminds me of remember how
hard a stance on same sex
attraction I took with Zara.
And she tried so desperately
to convince me, well, don't you love me?
Don't you love me?
The crying and the tears.
And I was like, of course I love you.
I'm standing on this ground
because I love you.
So you need to be able to
say the same thing to our other children.
I am doing this because I love you.
You know,
I have to stand this ground
because this is the ground
the Lord has given me to stand.
I can be a little better about my delivery,
but I cannot see this ground.
Because it is between your call to be.
Yes.
and I think it's important
for all of us whatever
field in which we're
soldiers um you know for
carrie because I know so
much more about you than
some of the others but you
are um a soldier in your
home you know you're taking
care of not only uh your
own ailments but your
husband um so much
responsibility put on you
and then there's these
things,
these things that pull us away and
that are challenges,
sometimes temptations or
they're challenges from the
Lord to grow us, to prune us,
to draw us closer to him
and to bear more fruit.
John 15 is really amazing
because we're going through
that in our community group.
And it's so amazing how
relevant John 15 is right
now in the pruning process
and the vine and the vine dresser.
But we have to,
so we have to be able to
take the criticisms and
of our stance and be like, hey,
I can maybe do this better.
Maybe I could be nicer.
Maybe I can be more compassionate,
but I'm not going to cede this ground.
I cannot compromise on the
principles or I will not abandon my post.
So if we think of ourselves
as an army in the
battalions of the Lord's army,
we're given certain jobs
and we're given certain
territory and we're given
certain assignments.
um and we can't say you know
what I don't I can I not
defend the border can I
just go inside I just want
to go live in iowa and you
know help with the sheep no
I put you at the border you
know what I mean so um that
doesn't mean we can't learn
from our post but it does
mean we don't abandon our
posts you're so full of good information
Feeling very inspired.
This pastor, Iris,
asked me who the pastor was.
You know what, Iris?
I'm not going to say his
name because he could be a
little wacky sometimes.
Like Kanye?
I don't want to advocate.
I don't want to advocate for him.
So I was in the habit of
just listening to worship
music in the morning.
And then I started to listen
to the news and quickly
decided that was not helpful.
I was I was yeah,
I was during the election
time and I was like,
this is just super annoying
and depressing and miserable.
So then now I've turned to
listening to sermons in the morning,
which are very inspiring.
So all I'm getting to hear
all different kinds of things.
And so this one pastor here
is a little more on the.
Charismatic side, how about we say that?
So I prefer not to mention it publicly.
Stick with the known commodities,
Pastor Jack, Pastor Bob Copeny,
Pastor Mark Driscoll.
Yeah.
Let's see, the Three Musketeers.
I was trying to think of the
three people that weren't
like a comedy group.
Is this the meaning?
Oh, that's a good point.
I say that all the time too.
Stupid makes us think we do
not have a worthy foe or a worthy enemy.
It's so true.
Dismissing them as stupid
makes it less diabolical.
And it's so important to
recognize the plans of the enemy.
And it's not stupid and
they're not doing it
because they're naive and
they're not doing it
because they're ignorant.
They're doing it intentionally.
Dan Bongino calls them
stupid smart people.
Yeah.
Dan's big on name-calling.
Maybe that's why I listen to
him every day.
Yes.
We agree that they're stupid,
smart people.
Yes.
And Kerry says?
Oh, okay.
Hegelian dialectic.
Philosophy on interpretive
method in which the
contradiction between a proposition,
the thesis,
and its antithesis is
resolved at a higher level
of truth synthesis.
Kerry, what does that mean?
Philosophy on interpretive
method in which a
contradiction between a
proposition and its
antithesis is resolved at a
higher level of truth synthesis.
Hmm.
I got big brain, but I'm still stumped.
And I have a feeling Carrie
just typed that off the top of her head.
Really?
You don't think it's worth a TV entry?
No, I don't think she cut and pasted.
I think she just wrote that.
Kelly, this is her synonym.
Useful idiots.
Yep, use that too, quite often.
mostly in posts but um wow
the fairly odd parent video
that they made of you you
weren't cussing them out
yeah no that's the whole
thing that's why I'm not
sure what the kids were
talking about but but
that's not in there but
there's there's sometimes
where I I'll make something
and then I sleep on it or
wait a couple hours and I
change it yeah I have been
much better yeah much better
I often think, I go, Mal,
I actually thought I was being nice.
You should have heard what I
really wanted to say.
That was a toned down version.
All right.
We had a couple prayer requests, right?
All I know of was Carrie.
Sleep.
I know Kelly.
I think it was Kelly.
Eddie also for his surgery.
Yes.
Yeah.
I was just asking about sleep.
Yes.
Kelly was I was asking.
All right.
Dear Lord, thank you for your word.
Thank you for your church.
We should never forsake the
assembly of the saints, Lord,
and it is edifying and
uplifting and it's
encouraging and we're so
grateful for that.
You've made us all parts of the body.
And that analogy is so
important because every
part of the body is useful.
And you've designed us all
for a purpose and an
assignment here on earth as
part of your heavenly battalions, Lord.
And so we ask that you keep
us strong and courageous,
that you keep us manning our post,
that you give us the wisdom
and the discernment to know
when to cede the ground and
when to never give in,
when to demonstrate compassion,
when to compromise,
and when there is no such
thing as compromise.
Lord, we stand on your word.
It is a firm foundation.
It is the guiding...
the guiding light of our lives,
and we ask that you engrave
it on our hearts.
Lord, it is a time of difficulty.
As the end times approach,
we suffer from more attacks of the enemy,
and we ask for your restoration.
We ask for a restful sleep.
It seems that the enemy is
able to discourage us and
distract us with
restlessness and with the
inability to sleep a restorative sleep,
Lord.
So I pray for that heavenly peace,
the heavenly peace that
allows us to sleep restful
in the arms of Jesus,
knowing that he has it all under control,
that everything is part of his plan,
that his heavenly armies guard our homes,
our minds and our thoughts.
We ask for dreams and visions, Lord.
that will comfort us,
that will tell us of the future,
that will empower us,
that will encourage us and
protection for our families
and our loved ones, Lord, and for healing,
for healing and restoration of sicknesses,
for Eddie and his sickness
and for Carrie and her
eyesight and all of those
listening under the sound
of my voice that are suffering from
one ailment or another, Lord,
you are the great physician.
We ask for your healing
powers and for your restoration.
We love you.
We honor you with all that we do.
We offer ourselves as a living sacrifice.
It's in the mighty name of
Jesus that we pray.
Amen.
Thank you.
Lie until people believe the lie.
Yeah, there you go.
That's actually what they're
doing right now, like crazy.
Amen.
All right, my friends.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your words of wisdom today.
Wow.
Thank you.
That was awesome.
And thank you for all of you.
And thank you for Carrie's
word of confusion.
Dialectics.
Deep thought.
About to figure that one out.
All right, my friends.
We love you guys.
God bless.
