UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT:

00:00:00:14 - 00:00:35:16

Unknown

Good afternoon. It's been a lovely, lovely time of conference. Wonderful to speak of the walk in Christ. Walking in love. Walking in the light. Walking by faith. Walking in the spirit. But this is kind of like I should say. This is more descriptive descriptions of what the walk is. I'd like to spend just a few moments this afternoon speaking of how we can make that walk very practical in each of our lives, how each one of us can have that walk with Christ.

00:00:35:17 - 00:01:01:01

Unknown

It's not something that's exclusive to just a few, or just those that maybe spend a lot of time, in the word, of course, it's a good thing to spend a lot of time in the word. I wouldn't diminish that in any way, but it's available for every believer. And if you're not walking in Christ, why not?

00:01:01:03 - 00:01:38:01

Unknown

Before we get to the how to walk in Christ, I just want to, if you will, lay some groundwork, I want to begin. Galatians chapter two, well known verse, verse 20 says, I am crucified with Christ and no longer live. I but Christ lives in me. But in that I now live in flesh. I live by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

00:01:38:03 - 00:01:46:16

Unknown

This is where we all begin. You want to walk in Christ?

00:01:46:18 - 00:01:51:13

Unknown

We start here. I am crucified with him.

00:01:51:15 - 00:02:18:15

Unknown

We're going to get a little develop this just just briefly. But he says I no longer live the person that I used to be. No longer exists. The personality is there, the body is there. But it's a new creation. Old things have passed away. Second Corinthians tell us, tells us that chapter 5 or 4 old things have passed away.

00:02:18:17 - 00:02:22:07

Unknown

All things have become new.

00:02:22:09 - 00:02:40:13

Unknown

If we're going to walk in Christ, we have to realize that we have been crucified with him, crucified to this world. We are dead. That's what crucifixion does. It means we are dead.

00:02:40:15 - 00:02:47:03

Unknown

Now just turn. Turn over to Colossians chapter two.

00:02:47:05 - 00:03:14:19

Unknown

We have Christ living in us according to this passage in Galatians. But Christ is living in us. But we want to take this a little bit further. Colossians chapter two, verse 12 says, buried with him in baptism, in which we have been also raised with him through faith the working of God, who raised him from among the dead.

00:03:14:21 - 00:03:36:13

Unknown

So we not only dead with Christ, but we have been buried. You don't get any more permanent than that. And now we have been raised with him, resurrected. We can only walk with Christ on the basis of resurrection.

00:03:36:15 - 00:03:59:08

Unknown

I've been crucified, buried, and now I'm raised with him. And this is the point where we all must be. This is, of course, this is true of every believer. But it's not always real. I will say realized that a good way to put it is not always realized by us all. We think, oh yeah, I have Jesus as my Savior and that's wonderful.

00:03:59:10 - 00:04:15:06

Unknown

But we need to get to that point of being crucified with him, buried, and then resurrected. It is a new beginning, a wonderful thing, a new beginning.

00:04:15:08 - 00:04:45:00

Unknown

This is why. We can forget about those things that are in the past, because Christ has paid for those and they're done. And we can move on, move forward. How to walk with Christ. I'm going to take up just four verses, and there are verses that are all right together. Just look down the page. Chapter three of Colossians.

00:04:45:02 - 00:05:13:16

Unknown

We're we're raised with Christ. Remember that we have been crucified with him, buried and raised with him. And so he continues his thought. Verse one of chapter three of Colossians. Since therefore you have been raised with Christ, seek the things which are above, where the Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Have your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

00:05:13:18 - 00:05:31:02

Unknown

For you have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. When the Christ is manifested, who is our life, then shall you also be manifested with him in glory. Do we need to say anything more than that?

00:05:31:04 - 00:06:05:23

Unknown

How sufficient is the Word of God since we've been raised with Christ? We have been right. We talked about that crucified, buried, raised with him. Since we've been raised with Christ, what are we to do? How are we to walk with him? The first step. Seek the things which are above heavenly things. Things of eternal value. In Jeremiah chapter 45, and I think it's verse five, God asks a question.

00:06:06:01 - 00:06:35:03

Unknown

He says, do you seek great things for yourself? And he goes ahead and answers the question too. But let me let me just stop there. Do you seek great things for yourself? This is what society teaches us. And unfortunately, it has gotten into the Christian home and Christian circle as well. We're seeking great things. If not for ourselves, we want them for our children or our grandchildren seeking great things.

00:06:35:05 - 00:06:49:05

Unknown

What's God's answer to that? That question that he asks. He says, seek them not. You want something great for yourself. Seek the things which are above.

00:06:49:07 - 00:06:55:20

Unknown

Seek the things which are above. Where Christ is.

00:06:55:22 - 00:07:09:00

Unknown

Not where he was or not. Where he's going to be. Where he is. This is where he is now, in glory. Sitting at the right hand of God. It says.

00:07:09:02 - 00:07:13:13

Unknown

He can sit down because his work is done.

00:07:13:15 - 00:07:24:21

Unknown

You remember one of the last utterances on the cross? Maybe it's the last one. I haven't looked into it, but he said, it is finished.

00:07:24:23 - 00:07:27:13

Unknown

Completed.

00:07:27:15 - 00:07:52:00

Unknown

All done. The work is done. And he could sit down. At the right hand of God. Many people, many Christians. Sorry just just to say this. Many Christians misinterpret the opening verses of John chapter 14. You know, in my father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you.

00:07:52:02 - 00:07:59:17

Unknown

They say, well, you know, Christ has gone to heaven now, and he's preparing the place for me. No.

00:07:59:18 - 00:08:03:23

Unknown

He's gone to heaven. The place is prepared.

00:08:04:01 - 00:08:09:03

Unknown

He went to the cross to prepare the place.

00:08:09:05 - 00:08:29:19

Unknown

It is finished. All the work is done. The only thing missing from that heavenly house that I'm going to dwell in is me. And soon that's going to be sold to the Lord's coming back. Maybe today.

00:08:29:21 - 00:08:32:17

Unknown

And then?

00:08:32:18 - 00:08:44:00

Unknown

Everything will be complete anyway. To walk with Christ. Seek the things which are above.

00:08:44:02 - 00:09:16:05

Unknown

So many get caught up seeking things for this earth. Whether it's power, whether it's money, whether it's a position of recognition, whatever it might be. It is only for this earth. Are we occupied with these things? Is this what fills are our desires? You remember the Lord told to this a story or a parable of the rich, the rich farmer?

00:09:16:07 - 00:09:39:02

Unknown

His crops came in so heavily he said, I don't have a barn big enough for these. I got to build another one. So he built a bigger one. He said, up. Now I can kick back and relax. I've got plenty laid up for years. My former one, K, is bursting at the seams. I don't have to worry about anything.

00:09:39:04 - 00:09:45:08

Unknown

What does the Word of God say to him? Full.

00:09:45:10 - 00:10:16:02

Unknown

This night your soul will be required. Then who? Who's. Who's going to own all this stuff that you left behind? Stuff for this earth. Power, money, these possessions. These things are just for this earth. You cannot take it with you. Seek the things which are above. Have your mind on this. On the things that are above, not on the things of the earth.

00:10:16:04 - 00:10:27:12

Unknown

Our thoughts are to be filled with what is above in glory. I wouldn't say what is above, but who is above.

00:10:27:14 - 00:10:35:14

Unknown

My thoughts are to be filled with Christ. He makes it very plain.

00:10:35:16 - 00:10:40:21

Unknown

What fills the thoughts of our hearts right now?

00:10:40:23 - 00:10:57:15

Unknown

Well, you know, some of us get caught up with what we call March Madness. There's a lot of basketball going on right now, but maybe in the fall you get caught up with baseball in the World Series.

00:10:57:17 - 00:11:05:14

Unknown

Or soccer? Football, if you want to call it that. Or football. Comment everyday. Football.

00:11:05:16 - 00:11:21:06

Unknown

Maybe you get caught up with something else. Maybe you're taken up with world events and you're just so preoccupied with. And you go, pardon me for saying this. You be so preoccupied with what Mr. Trump is doing now.

00:11:21:08 - 00:11:41:09

Unknown

Who cares what he's doing now? What matters is what Christ is doing and where he is. I'm sorry. I don't mean to just. It sounds a little bit disrespectful. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be disrespectful at all. We should respect those that are in authority. God has put them there.

00:11:41:11 - 00:12:02:03

Unknown

But we all have to get caught up with these things. Political events, all of this stuff. Our mind is set on things on this earth. And he says, have your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

00:12:02:05 - 00:12:04:22

Unknown

I just want to.

00:12:05:00 - 00:12:34:10

Unknown

Read a couple of verses from Philippians chapter three. I'm going to read verses 18 and 19, just as this is just a parenthesis, and it's out of context, but you get the end of the meaning. He says. Verse 18 for many walk, of whom I have told you often, and I tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and their glory and their shame, who mind earthly things.

00:12:34:12 - 00:12:59:20

Unknown

This is the characteristic of all of those around us. The unsaved. They mind earthly things. Back in Colossians three, we're told to mind. Have our minds set on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. He says, for you have died. Did we read that in Galatians two? You've died. You've been crucified.

00:12:59:22 - 00:13:31:08

Unknown

But your life, your eternal life, is hid with Christ in God. Does that mean it's it's hidden so that you can't see it or, you know, hiding it from somebody to keep from stealing it? Not at all. It means it's hidden away because it is precious. We take things that are very valuable to us, and we put them in safe deposit boxes or some secure place.

00:13:31:10 - 00:13:44:02

Unknown

Our life is hid with Christ in God. Is there a more secure place? What can touch my life now?

00:13:44:04 - 00:13:48:12

Unknown

What, if anything?

00:13:48:14 - 00:13:55:00

Unknown

Can anything of this earth touch that light? My life that's hid with Christ in God?

00:13:55:01 - 00:14:02:22

Unknown

Can the devil touch my life that's hid with Christ in God? It is secure.

00:14:03:00 - 00:14:07:23

Unknown

Nothing can touch it.

00:14:08:01 - 00:14:17:17

Unknown

And when Christ is manifested, who is our life? Now it says Christ is our life. Is Christ. My life?

00:14:17:19 - 00:14:26:03

Unknown

It is God's intention that he be my life. And this is very plainly here, that he is my life.

00:14:26:05 - 00:14:30:14

Unknown

Is he living out through me?

00:14:30:16 - 00:14:50:22

Unknown

Is Christ living through me? When you look at me, do you see Christ in me? I hope so, but I'm. I often disappoint myself.

00:14:51:00 - 00:15:10:22

Unknown

Christ is living in me. Christ is my life. And when he is manifested, this means when he's fully known. This is talking about the glorious appearing, not the rapture, but the glorious appearing when Christ will come back to this earth in power and great glory, and we will be with him.

00:15:11:00 - 00:15:23:14

Unknown

You know, the rapture is when the Lord Jesus claims his bride. He's been waiting for a long time to claim his bride.

00:15:23:16 - 00:15:31:01

Unknown

Do you think he's going to go anywhere without her? Once he has her by his side.

00:15:31:03 - 00:16:00:18

Unknown

So we can say, when Christ is manifested to the world, to all creation, to the universe in glory, we are going to be right there beside him. And it says here that we will be manifested with him in glory. We're going to be seen with him. This is what we have to look forward to. Why would we get caught up with the stuff of earth with the things that are on this earth?

00:16:00:20 - 00:16:21:13

Unknown

And all of this garbage down here. This is how we walk with Christ. Seek the things which are above. Set your mind on the things that are above and focus on that.

00:16:21:15 - 00:16:30:19

Unknown

We're soon going to be glorified with Christ. What a day that will be.

00:16:30:21 - 00:16:55:10

Unknown

The Lord's coming soon. You can walk with Christ right now. Today, and enjoy his presence. If you walk with him in the light, you can walk with him in love. You can walk with him in the spirit. All these things that we are talking about today. If you're not walking with Christ, why aren't you?

00:16:55:12 - 00:17:00:22

Unknown

You want you to.

00:17:01:00 - 00:17:15:10

Unknown

Seek the things which are above. Have your mind set on the things that are above where Christ is for his namesake.

00:17:15:12 - 00:17:47:13

Unknown

Good afternoon. The time was swiftly. We don't see it that we spent about 48 hours together, but the time was very quickly. That's why. And we have our colleague were servant of the Lord. We thank all of you for having us in this time of fellowship. And I will quote a verse from the book of the First Timothy.

00:17:47:15 - 00:18:28:05

Unknown

And I will change that now as, men will speak from singular to plural. We said, Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled us because he counted us faithful, putting us into the ministry on behalf of our colleagues. I have in my mind an idea, 1 or 2 about the one who we loved him, and we are eager to see him soon.

00:18:28:06 - 00:19:06:13

Unknown

The center of the Holy Spirit, the holy writings, is Jesus. He is a spirit of the prophecy. That is why, because of my disability and is speaking fluently in English, I will. I will come. My dear brother, I have to translate my thoughts in a fluent English. Thank you brother, for coming. I will read a few verses from the Gospel of John.

00:19:06:15 - 00:19:26:12

Unknown

Chapter 19. In verse 32. By 34, 32, 33, 34 John 19, starting from verse 32.

00:19:26:13 - 00:20:00:08

Unknown

Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, one of the other, who was crucified with him. But but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his that until 34. But one of the soldiers pierced his side of the spear, and immediately blood and water came up heavy, and handed the second letter to the manifestation of Saddam.

00:20:00:10 - 00:20:25:00

Unknown

These three small verses speak of the one person and one word to the man, Solid Messiah. It speaks of the cross of Jesus mountain Messiah. The death of Jesus was the Messiah and the blood Lord. Jesus had to tell us then man of the shots. He doesn't want these three things. We can see them in those three verses at the same time.

00:20:25:05 - 00:20:49:03

Unknown

While the local man had the man to live, but each of them have a special meaning for us. For Salim, you can eliminate unjust violence and let you the man Messiah. So the cross speaks to us of the cruelty and how, cruel the people dealt the Lord Jesus. Or you can live Nathan on a ladder and let the men have mercy.

00:20:49:05 - 00:21:20:17

Unknown

It also speaks of us of the curse of the Lord. I take it upon himself instead of us. Lisa millar. Lana. Not only did he take on our curse Mazara, Lana Del Lachlan, but he became a curse for us. Cannot. Nobody has a source. How should we? How should we be grateful to him? Unless there is a hammer that endured all that for us men, and then a national quota for us sinners lacking Mountain Messiah, who calumny humbled in us.

00:21:20:19 - 00:21:42:07

Unknown

But the death of Lord Jesus speaks to us of something else. Then it speaks of us of his love and Mahad, Batman and other Arkadin Elmo talks about when have been from the Old Testament. We can see that that is what it through the love the shit to many a man and a moment and the song of Solomon chapter eight.

00:21:42:07 - 00:22:02:14

Unknown

It speaks that the love is strong as death. Well, I can I turn and the Minister of Health had the cathedral, and the other the lady of the vessel that had lain under a lot at noon. But even in the New Testament, the verse for the pledge spoke about from Galatians two, you are acknowledging that they had been your Islam necessarily.

00:22:02:14 - 00:22:35:11

Unknown

Again, it speaks of us, of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself as Clement of mount. He gave himself, for that land is high in Syria. How is that ultimately not because of anything in me or something I deserve, but that now I have been because I love me. When he was in and we read the same idea in Ephesians 535 and mercy, I humbly ask the minister wholeheartedly loving the church and giving himself for her well enough.

00:22:35:16 - 00:23:05:19

Unknown

I don't feel that a lot of them that had no line. We also read him in John 316 that For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son for Sunnybrook a little nonplused with it insane. So the cross, because of the cruelty of men, were all mohabbat well known to man. But the law. But the death of Lord Jesus speaks to us of the love of his love, that in that love him I will not of men them in Messiah.

00:23:05:21 - 00:23:31:10

Unknown

But what about the blood of you then in mercy. You can Barakat. The blood of Jesus speaks of us of the blessings national of Lebanon, and you better come to Rowhani is the platinum. We have not received any of those special blessings because of our deserving a whole model. Barakat. And now gala, let me enumerate some of the best national film then.

00:23:31:10 - 00:23:51:07

Unknown

And for that we then we have random Haiti. We have redemption through his love, the forgiveness of sin, destiny and mercy. We have been sanctified by the blood, had a wonderful burning desire. This is an he was not let I done nano tamada and I will say that be me. But we also have enjoyed redemption for his blood.

00:23:51:07 - 00:24:36:03

Unknown

For Coryell, Baraka and Letty were eternally there. So all the blessings that we were promised when Latin at the time was in an end, and then we enjoy, even in part now, were filled with stuff. But the so of Camilla and the diffuser and full and then that term appearance of officer for the and then will Hamon. And when we remember what is said of his blood and revelations five no not going to the reason and and and we read of the blood who have cleansed that smallest at them and mercy your for her name, and could look at the that has washed us from all our iniquities has here Barakat a plenty Tabitha them

in Messiah. These are the blessings that are associated with the blood of the Koran and Messiah, who I what he. So we read of the Lord Jesus and his death and mercy was on me through Jesus and His cross and mercy. Well, then the fact that whole the faith in the Lord Jesus and his luck he has shed for all lacking any read and will share it with you.

00:25:01:22 - 00:25:23:07

Unknown

But I want to share with you a small other idea. How many of us have to give you a hand? Whoever reads chapter 19 from the Gospel of John. Yeah, and they'll handhold enemies in the sea. We will learn that the Apostle John is the only one of his disciples, and who wants to come leave. It was stunned the many that

00:25:23:07 - 00:25:25:21

Unknown

accompanied him since his arrest.

00:25:25:23 - 00:25:59:13

Unknown

And the government had another dilemma at the outset. See you through all the, false trials and acquisitions that the word through had spoken and and began upon meet Maryam in Nazareth until he was standing by his mother. Mary Ola has a deacon, and he has he watched all that was the whole Russia. Marlena him a soul, lamented McAfee, as I had involvement in the.

00:25:59:15 - 00:26:23:04

Unknown

But he has brought to us five pictures of the death of the Lord Jesus in the presence of us. A certain will for your hand. Now I had this. How actually the first picture is in John 120. And then, sent Ganesh ahead. I tell mama, then when he reported the testimony of John the Baptist and Tamara and Mama.

Then we go to the, Exodus chapter 12.

00:27:38:22 - 00:28:04:23

Unknown

Unheard unhuman confusion elevate Lozada. Neither we read of a name that is enough for a whole house Latin. Then what are you done? See that? Eleazar and the head. And how many eyes? But how could look at it? But we also, in that same chapter that that man is an, sacrifice for the whole, group of Israel for Honecker.

00:28:05:00 - 00:28:38:01

Unknown

Hammond X got shots. So there is a lamb that is enough for the of one person. Where how many actually get beat out? And there's an entrance enough for the whole house. Where? How many are there that shot in. But there is also a love that is enough to meet the needs of the whole nation. Where Lachina Robinson, Marcia Hamel, on the faculty at the land of the Lord Jesus is the Lamb of God that will take away the sin of the world.

00:28:38:03 - 00:29:05:22

It is the lamb that was provided and had a Hammond Elmore setting in the law, the lamb that was sent and the Hammond and let you up to Lima Talib desert. Allahu akbar.

00:29:26:16 - 00:29:49:05

Unknown

But nobody will benefit from that work of the lamb, for he believes that the work of the that person for Ireland, the Lord loves the whole world. Well, a la la la la la la male Ireland. God bless the whole world. And he had sent his son so that nobody is, should perish. But everybody will believe it is some.

00:29:49:07 - 00:30:18:03

Unknown

But when then the kingdom and man be. And whoever would receive him in the love as the Son of God, garment of love as a Lamb of God. And that this meal of random fire shall receive by his name the forgiveness of sin. And as soon as any are not from her. For in a certain sense I suppose the second picture that John provides is chapter two, verse 19, that the and the rubble high can feel.

UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT: Good morning. It's a delight to be with the Saints here in California, enjoying the fellowship with many dear brothers and sisters, bringing greetings from the saints in Willowdale, in Toronto, in Canada. Um, we were occupied with walking with Jesus, walking in Christ and the beautiful singing that we have this morning. One of the songs, walking with him all the day, walking with him all the way. And that reminds me of, uh, one of the saints in the Old Testament who his life was summarized from the beginning to the end that he was walking with God. And if you please, turn with me to the book of Joshua, chapter fourteen. This wonderful man, this wonderful man of faith. His name is Caleb. And before we get to read a few verses from his life, let me speak first about this man. His name is Caleb and the meaning of Caleb. It comes from word means dose. I'm not sure many here. I think they know Arabic. I believe so it comes from word means Kalb, which is hard. So, Caleb, if you search it, you'll find it in some concordances that say it's from dog. But I asked Brother Gideon one time and he said, yeah, it is very close. And those who knows Arabic, they know that Kalb and Kalb are very close. So he said, it is more. Kalb. So the meaning of Caleb, that is someone who is wholeheartedly. He is someone that characterized his life, characterized that He followed the Lord. Exactly. And the Word of God teaches us six times. It speaks about this man of God that he followed the Lord. Exactly. He followed the Lord wholeheartedly. And if you go to first King, we see the King Solomon, the divine report about King Solomon. It says that he did not follow the Lord. Holy. And here Caleb, who is the one who followed the Lord wholeheartedly, and the age of Caleb as he writes, reading this account about him. He was eighty five years old. He started when he was forty and then thirty eight, about thirty eight years in the wilderness, wandering, and then about seven years when where they were occupying the land until we reach the book of Joshua, chapter fourteen. When Joshua was dividing the land to the people and Caleb came here in the picture. And then, um, he is we read from verse six, the book of judges. Sorry. Book of Joshua, chapter fourteen. And verse six in the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jaffna. The king said to him, you know, the word of the Lord said to Moses, Man of God, concerning you and. And me in Kadesh Barnea here we find the first characteristic of Caleb that he cling to the Word of God. The Word of God for him didn't change. He didn't say, ah, the Lord promised me, you know, that's forty five years ago and it didn't happen. I don't know if I should trust him or not. I don't know if I should remember this word of God or no, no, no, he didn't do that. He from the first day he believed in the Lord, he trusted him. He said, this is the Word of God. And as the Lord spoke this word, I believe totally. I believe from all my heart that this word will come to fulfillment. This is the first thing we learned from him. The second thing I just for the sake of time, I will not go back to all the verses. But in the book of numbers, chapter thirteen, we see at the beginning of the chapter that the Lord told Moses, you send to all the spies to spy out the land. And one of those twelve spies was Caleb, and then Joshua, and then another ten. older names are mentioned. So when they went to spy the land, the ten of them, they came with a bad report. They said, oh, this is a very difficult area. Those enemies are really strong and we are in their eyes as grasshoppers. And as well, we are in our eyes also saw ourselves as grasshoppers. So people of Israel, we, we, um, encourage you, we invite you, we tell you do not go there. And then Caleb, you say, hmm, let me see. One, two, three, ten. And then here are Joshua with me. So let me, I think, follow the majority. I think ten against two, I think, or against one here, because only Joshua was in his side. Let me just go with the majority. Definitely those ten people from the other tribes are right. And maybe Joshua is wrong. I will follow the majority. It is easier for me to follow and I see many people going this direction just to go with them. No no no no no, he didn't do that. He didn't do that. He followed the Lord wholeheartedly. He didn't look to the enemy, but he looked to the Lord and he told the people, you know what, those people this, this land is, is from the Lord for us. And it overflows with honey and milk. And those people are our food, those enemies. They are not giants and we are not grasshoppers, but they are actually our food. We can eat them. He looked at the difficulties not as something to prevent him from going with the Lord or walking with the Lord or hinder him. But he looked to the difficulties as steps that he can step on, and he go in his way with the Lord. And the second important lesson for us today. Do not follow the majority just because of the number or the majority. Look for what the Lord wants you. Look for what the Lord in His Word is telling you. And then he said in verse eight of chapter fourteen, nevertheless, my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt. See what he says here, my president. He didn't speak bad about them. In chapter thirteen of numbers, we read that they brought a bad report. But here someone. He did not bring a bad report about his presence. Although they were wrong, they were wrong. But he didn't say about them anything. But he said, my president. It reminds me of Joseph when he was in Egypt. He said. And they asked him what happened. He said, I was stolen. He didn't mention what his brethren did to him. And the Lord Jesus on the cross while they were crying, crucify him, crucify him. He said, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing. Here is someone looking to their to his brethren in their position in Christ. And then he said, but I wholly followed the Lord my God, my God. Here is someone. He didn't speak about the Lord just as, as, as a God in heaven. But he said, you know what? He is the creator of this universe. He's the creator of everyone. But this creator is Not God, but my God. I have a personal relationship with him, and that actually the main source of power and energy that kept Caleb going, that is the source that he was drawing his, his, his energy and his hope from it is my, my God. And you know what? We know that, um, the, the verses dividing the Bible to verses and chapters is not in the original manuscript. It was not inspired by the Lord, but in this just speech that he has. In these few verses he mentioned the name of the Lord, the name of God twelve times. Twelve times. What do you want to tell us, Caleb? Here, he wants to say, even if I am a good warrior, if I can say, even if I am here after all this year, it is not by my power. It is not by my strength. It is everything. He refers everything to God. You know, in First John chapter two, it teach us don't love the world because all what is in the world is lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of of life. And we can divide this to or match this with the age groups, the lust of the flesh, usually early in life, maybe the first portion of life, maybe one to twenty five or two to thirty. And then the the lust of the eyes when someone is growing and he starts to work and has money and you know, I like iPhone, whatever here. I like this car, I like this house. And then later in age, it is the pride of life. Oh, when someone getting older, you know, I did this in my life, I did this, I did this, I went to this place. I had these certificates. I, I this is my accomplishments in life. But here is someone who is eighty five years old and he refers all things to the Lord. He didn't say, I am Caleb, the strong warrior who kept the word of God. I'm Caleb, the one who is, um, managed to arrive safely here. I am the one who followed the Lord wholeheartedly. He didn't say that. But everything. He refers everything to God. He recognized God in every aspect of his life. But then the other thing that he said in verse, end of verse ten, um, I am. This day eighty five years old. Let me read just a couple of verses in Psalm ninety two, verse. Fourteen it speaks about those who. All those who are planted in the house of God shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in all the age. And then quickly to Proverbs sixteen and verse thirty one. And how wonderful to have among us older brothers and sisters, the Lord give them this wisdom, give them this experience of walking with the Lord. And as they grow, they are still flourishing in their old age. Proverbs sixteen, verse thirty one. The silver haired head is a crown of glory, if it is found in the way of righteousness. A lot of wisdom, a lot of experience from those older ones who work with with the Lord in their, um, age. And then we can find also that Caleb was very selective in his friend. He didn't select any, just one to be his friend, to be close to him. But it's only someone who has the same mind, the same desires, the same interest in the things of the Lord, in the word of the Lord. And that's why we almost we don't find the name of Caleb mentioned by himself in account, but always mentioned with was Joshua. Not only that, but Brother Gideon. He used to say Yeshua, Messiah, which is the name of the Lord Jesus. Yes, It's similar to Arabic. Yes, sir. So Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua, is Joshua. So here we have someone always walking and talking with Joshua. Here we have someone. A good example of what we were studying. We were studying in the conference that he is walking with with the Lord. Always. Now always. We can come to chapter fifteen. But before I speak quickly about his daughter, let me go to first Samuel twenty five. First Samuel chapter twenty five. There we read about someone in verse thirteen. Um, let me read from verse two. First Samuel chapter twenty five, verse two. Now there was a man in motion whose business? He whose business was in Carmel. And the man was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and thousands of gods, and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. The name of the man was Nepal, and the name of his wife was Abigail, and he. And she was a woman of a good understanding and beautiful appearance. But the man was harsh and evil in his doing. He was from the house of Caleb. Here, Caleb. Later we find one of his seeds. One of his grandchildren was not a believer. He was an evil man. And here is another lesson that we learned that the parents, the believing parents, will not pass down the faith is not something that passed down from parents to children. Here is from the house of Caleb, but he was not a believer. And that put again what Brother Paul was telling us yesterday. It's a personal responsibility to accept the Lord and to walk with him. But if we come to the book of Joshua chapter fifteen, we find that Caleb has a good influence. He didn't cause he didn't pass the faith down to his daughter or his nephew, but they, as they saw the life of faith in the life of Caleb that influenced them. They saw how wonderful is their father, Caleb, at the end of his, uh, of, of this chapter fourteen, we see that he got Hebron. He said, I want Hebron. Caleb, you didn't change your mind. No, no, no. Forty five years ago, the Lord told you about Hebron, didn't you? After this forty five years old, you know you change your mind. Maybe you find a better place by the lake. You change. You know this. This is a nicer place. No, no, no. I would just cling to what the Word of God told me. What the promise of God was telling me. And there in, in, in Hebron, there was the Enoch that we read at the end of the chapter. And that speaks about the flesh at the at the end of chapter fourteen. So he occupied Hebron. And Hebron speaks about fellowship, and he always wanted to tell us the secret. You know, if we ask, um, Joshua, how come in this eighty five years old and you are still young? He said, you know what, I have secrets. I have my my anti-aging pills that I am take. That helped me to stay young at this age. And what is. Are those. These anti-aging pills you are taking. Isaiah fourteen forty. I was waiting on the Lord. I waited on the Lord. That's why I renewed my strength. That's why I'm able to walk with him every day. And then the second secret I have is we can find in judges. We read it quickly because of the time judges chapter sixteen and verse nineteen, it speaks about Samson and it says, and his strength left him. Here we find the young man who was very powerful, very strong. But we read that his strength left him. Why is his strength left him? Because of Sin because of sin and Caleb in that old age. But he's still young. So, Caleb, tell us the two pills that you are taking. He say the two pills. Isaiah forty. I'm waiting on the Lord. I'm renewing my strength and I am putting Enoch under death. I'm putting the flesh under this. I'm putting the sin under in the right place. Condemning the sin. I'm confessing my sin. I'm walking with the Lord. That's why I did not lose my strength quickly. To Joshua chapter fifteen. His his daughter Isa. It's a beautiful lady. She was in the age of getting married and he said, you know what? I want whoever marry my daughter, you know, in South Sudan, when you when someone want to marry a lady, uh, they pay something called dowry. and. And that dowry? It's cows. They pay in cows. Uh, one hundred cows, one hundred and fifty, two hundred cows. And the amount of cows depends on the height of the lady. So as tall as the lady as she gets more cows and as educated as the lady. So if she has only elementary school, she deserved this amount of cows. All its calculation. How they get paper and pen and they'll calculate how tall is she. So the height will give her fifty cows education, twenty cows. And then they they add all together and they say, oh, this, this lady deserved two hundred cows. So what is the dowry of Xa then? Caleb said, I don't want cows for my daughter. And other places in Sudan where I used to live. They give a lot of gold. They were the gold here. They were the gold from here to here. And then you know the lady. She has the the goal when she greets someone, they don't greet like this, but she say, hey, how are you? So because everybody can see the goal. But here Caleb, a man of faith. He said, for my daughter, I want someone to take that village, carry it. Cipher a cipher in Arabic. I need someone to conquer to occupy this village of Seif. Whoever will conquer the village of Safra will give him my wife Isa. And after that, the name changed from Safra to Debeer. And cipher means book speaks about the word of God. But then the name changed to the beer and the beer means sanctuary, or in another translation is inspiration, and he wanted to say that when you want to have victory in your life and you have the Word of God, but then don't read it just as any book as any sepher, but make sure that God is talking to you. I don't want you to treat the Word of God as just a book, but I want you to treat the Word of God as a place where God is speaking to you personally. You know, this is sixty six books. It is the same for the brethren in California, for the brethren for any believers everywhere in the world. But then from this Word of God, God is speaking to me and to you in a different way. He wants to tell you that the Christian life walking with Christ is not just following just religious things or reading some books, but make sure when you read the Word of God that God is speaking to you personally. There's two words for for the Word of God in the Greek logos and rhema is what we have. Logos is what we have here, the Word of God. But then rhema is the word that the Lord is speaking to you personally through His Word. And then Aqsa, her father, gave her, gave her a gift, gave her the land in the South that's in, in Joshua fifteen and verse nineteen, and this land of the south, it is desert. There is nothing there. He didn't give her a nice, you know, villa by by the water. He didn't give her a nice. An apartment in downtown, but he gave her a place in the desert and then Excel. Looked like that. And she's a new bride, you know, she she just about to get married. And she said, what in the world my father is doing giving me a desert. I am so I'm so upset. I am so unlucky. I don't like that she didn't do that. She she was a warrior. She learned that from her father. Her. She saw the life of faith, the life of resistance, the life of perseverance, spiritual perseverance, perseverance in the life of her father. And that was was a great influence on her. And she said, you know what I'm going to do? Like my father. Then she went down from, um, the donkey and she asked him. She didn't complain. She didn't say, oh, why did you give me this? But she asked for the upper springs and the lower springs. You gave me desert. That's fine. That's okay. I am happy with what you gave me. I'm happy with whatever circumstances you put me in. Lord, but I need your help. I need the upper springs and the lower springs. And in in Psalm eighty four and verse six, as they pass through the valley of Baca or, or through the Valley of Tears, they make it not a wailing, not a crying place, but they make it a Psalm eighty four, verse six. They make it a spring. And here what AXA did. She said, give me the springs. I don't mind if you put me in desert. But I'm coming to you. I want you to give me the upper springs and the lower springs. And this many commentators mentioned that it is. Upper springs is the spiritual blessings we have in the Lord. And the lower springs is the blessing, the earthly blessing that we enjoy from him. Or we can say the upper springs is the fellowship with the father and the son, and the lower springs is the fellowship with the saints. Or we can say also the upper springs is our advocate with the father, our high priest, the Lord Jesus up there, a divine person in heaven for us, and also a divine person in us. While we are walking here on the earth, the Holy Spirit. And you know what? Her husband was also the the nephew of Caleb. He was also a great warrior. He saw that in the in the life of his uncle, and he said, I will follow. I will follow that. And then they enjoyed it together. And last thing, Xa means anklet, anklet. And that's what we see that someone walking with Christ again. She. Her work was with. If we use the. The term walking with God, walking with with Christ adorn her walk. She didn't ask for earthly things, but definitely the life of Caleb, the life of faith. Someone who was walking by faith, not by sight. May the Lord help us as we walk with him. And as we follow his steps. The perfect example. You know, at the beginning I mentioned it was mentioned six times about Caleb that he followed the Lord wholeheartedly, but it was not mentioned seven times because the only one who followed God wholeheartedly, the only one who said, your law is within my heart, the only one that the heaven opened for him, and the voice came from heaven. He is my beloved son to him. Listen. Listen to him, honor him, obey him. During this four thousand years from Adam to Christ, the heaven didn't find someone to open and to say, this is the one. Everyone went here, everyone went there. Everyone said, we are not pleased by the knowledge of your of your ways. The only one who pleased him to the uttermost, the only one who saved, the only one who was the perfect one, is the Lord Jesus Christ. For his name's sake. Amen. Amen.

UNEDITED TRANSCRIPT: In the hymns that we were singing from our Spiritual Songs book. There was a word repeated in all of them and that you might be here this evening. Nobody knows what's going on in your life. Nobody knows the things that you are personally dealing with. Nobody knows the struggles that are happening inside. Well, let me tell you, my friend, the Lord Jesus. He knows. The Lord Jesus knows and he is concerned about every single aspect of your life. God is so concerned that he sent the Lord Jesus Christ to take care of a problem, a problem that we have no solution for. God would provide for us. That word that we have sung this evening is all in three hundred and sixty nine. The first hymn that we sang. Says in verse two. All the price is paid. All the price is paid. And if we stop to ask ourselves. Price for what? What's been paid. What was the cost? How much was it? Let's turn together. We're going to look at just a few scriptures. We'll begin. Romans chapter three verse twenty three says, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. For all have sinned. There is no exclusion from that word. Turn to Isaiah fifty three. Isaiah fifty three. We'll read the end of verse six. It says, and the Lord has laid on him. On him. That's the Lord Jesus, the iniquity of us all. All have sinned. All have sinned. There is no way For you to determine even what that means for yourself. You. That is, you cannot count or measure the extent of your own sin. Not even the sins of all the people who are in this room. Scripture tells us that all have sinned. Every single one. And the Lord has laid on him. The iniquity of not just a few of us, of not just the ones who did. Just a little bit of us. All of us all. There is one who knows. Who knows sin's full weight. There is one who is able to bear the cost. There was one who was sent to be that sacrifice for our sin and sins. It's the man, Christ Jesus. And you might be sitting here this evening and you have no relationship with him. Maybe you sat here. You enjoyed some of the things that you heard today during the conference. Maybe you could say amen to some things, but there is something that is missing in your life, and that is a relationship with the one who loved you and gave himself for you. Our sins bear a penalty. We deserve death. We deserve judgment. We deserve to be cast away. But, my friend, we also sang about the love of God and just how we cannot measure the amount of sin that the Lord Jesus would bear. We cannot measure his love. And we probably can't even comprehend what that means. That a man would love everyone. We were saying it today. It's probably easier to get along with some of us than it is others. You know, there might be some even believers in here who would say, yes, I love my brethren. But, you know, that's the thing about what God has done. God did not just tell us that he loved us. God did not just tell us that he loved us. He showed us. He gave. He was willing to give. The Lord Jesus went into death for us. He took your place and mine. Is when we sing that song sometimes guilty of death. Oh God, we were. Thy judgment was our due. So all have sinned. He has borne the iniquity of us all. And you might be here this evening. Again, nobody knows. Nobody knows what's going on in here except for God above. And you might have done a really great job of fooling everybody else. But you cannot fool God. You cannot. And why is it that this evening God has ordained that you would be here today? Because, my friend, he has a message for you. God has something that he desires to say to your heart. And he wants you to dispense with the pretense, dispense with the, the the wall that you've put up. Because you can. You might fool mom and dad. You might fool brother and sister. I'll tell you recently. A young man who has been with us at Camp Pine Valley. Who was just a joy as a camper. Enjoyed what seemingly was every single aspect of camp. I had a conversation with him a couple of months ago. He said all that Jesus stuff I don't believe. And it literally broke my heart. Because it seemed like he was just putting on a show. My friend. Everyone in here has a birthday. You have no idea what that other date is. Should the Lord Jesus tear? You have no idea how much time you have left. But sometimes we live like we have all the time in the world to do whatever we want to. Leave God out. To say, I don't need Jesus Christ. I don't need everything that people at church are talking about. I don't need a relationship with him. You know. There is coming a day when every knee will bow. Every single person that has mocked. Every single person that has said I don't need will bow. And they will confess and they will see him. The Lord Jesus Christ. There is another verse that was repeated quite often today. Let's turn to it in the book of Matthew. Chapter eleven. Matthew chapter eleven verse twenty eight says, come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden. You know, when I come to Southern California, I have a certain piece about me. Because I know that if I get sick, there is a doctor at every turn. Can you imagine for a moment if. You're in the emergency room, you have a problem, and then all of a sudden, every single person who has a problem comes in. Think about that. Every single person who has a problem walks into the door. That would be a nightmare scenario in any hospital, right? He says, come unto me, all you who labor and are heavy laden. He is the one person who is able to make that invitation. He's the one person who is able to say, everyone, come. Whatever your burden may be, whatever your problem is. Come. Because he is able. We. We spoke about it earlier today. He is the one who is able to deliver. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Come unto me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. The only one who can promise that everyone will be taken care of. I had to go to the emergency room in San Diego, and I hope I never have to go again. You know, I haven't seen it so much over here. But out east, you drive on the highway and sometimes you'll see a billboard. Emergency room. Fifteen minute wait. Think about that. Fifteen minutes. That sounds great. When you are dealing with the Lord Jesus, he says, don't wait. There is no waiting. You don't need to wait one minute. You can come just as you are. God desires that you get right with Jesus Christ. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God says, repent of your sins. Make a decision to go a different direction, a different way than you have gone before. You have gone the other way already. That end is the way of death. You need to go the Jesus way. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He says, come unto me. You will find the rest. You know those of you in here who love the Lord Jesus, who know the Lord Jesus as your Savior. I've said this often recently. It's not promised to us that life will be easy in this world. But in this verse we have what is promised to us, what will be easy. It says, my yoke is easy, my burden is light. That's the easy thing for the believer to be with one who is going to be able to take you through any storm, to be with one who's going to be able to guide and direct you each step of the way. To be with one who is concerned about, as we said earlier today, the way you walk. Some of us are in a stage of life where we are pouring time and energy, tremendous amount of studying into what may come for me later on in my career. And we thank the Lord for so many young people who are really driven as students. But let me ask you, my friend, are you putting the same time and energy into this? You believe that the there's going to be fruit from all your studying through college, University, med school. ET cetera, et cetera. Eternal blessing. An eternal investment. Something that will carry you through. Through eternity. Let's look at another verse in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah forty five verse twenty two says. Look to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is no other. Look to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth. There is one who can make that invitation. There is one who can save. Save you from a wrath to come. Save you from the lake of fire. To save you from being eternally lost should you die in your sins. My friend, God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, went to the cross of Calvary, shed his precious blood, went into death, rose again the third day. And he's saying now to you, come. He's saying now to you, look to me, all you ends of the earth, every single person in every single place, all whose sins I have borne you will be saved. Hey, we're living in a day and age. And I. I sometimes struggle with just how Difficult. The word difficult will be. Because there is coming in this AI age a lot of falsehood, fake things. So much so an ad pops up on your phone and there's a disclaimer these people aren't real AI generated. Brother was telling me a story about one of his family members in Lebanon. How she had a cell phone in her home and that cell phone got a message. The village is going to be bombed. So everybody got up in the middle of the night and left. And it was a prank by a high schooler. Can you imagine that? There are going to be more and more things, young people. That the enemy is going to put before you and try to tell you that these things are real. There is going to be more and more that is said. Scripture tells us Paul writes to Timothy and says that in the last days that people are going to be ever learning, right? Smartest we've ever been and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Cannot come to the truth. And what is that truth, my friend. We have read it in this verse. He says at the end. For I am God, and there is no other. There is no other. So you might be here wanting to try to deal with your problems in some other way besides what God says to do. And there are many people all over the world who have found that that can never work. When God tells me that I have a problem, you know what? I have a problem. When God tells me that he's provided a solution, you know what? God has provided a solution. When God tells me that I can be saved. You know what? Praise God, I can be saved. But if I don't believe God. Then I am lost. And somebody asked the question recently at a Bible camp. How can I know that God is real? Someone said recently in a message on a Sunday morning that I think it was Billy Graham. Somebody asked him that question once and he said, because I spoke to him this morning. Is the person of the Christ real in your life? Is he real in your heart? Because if God is real to you, then that means what God says, What God says. I not only must listen to, but obey, but obey. And so if you're here this evening. First to the believer. If you're here this evening. And harbouring a heart that cannot forgive. If you have some problem with another person. And you are holding on to that problem. My friend, that is not the will of God. If you're here as an unbeliever, someone who has never received Jesus Christ as your Lord. We read earlier, that person is dead in trespasses and sins. For you to have life. For you to be a new creation, you must come to Jesus Christ. As I was packing my things. I pull this out of a bag. This is Kimberly Nicholson. Thirty nine years old. Passed away. My first cousin. When she was about ten or so, she got so sick in Jamaica that she had to be flown on a medical plane from the island to Miami. When she got to the hospital, we were finally able to see her. She had every single kind of tube and connected to her. She could not speak. I asked her to write me a note and it just came out as scribble. She was in the hospital for weeks. Turned out that she had lupus. She recovered from that. She became a doctor. Years later, she passed. A couple of years ago she got sick again. By this time. Her life would end. Thank God she was a believer. So we know where she is. She is married. Two children. She passed March twenty ninth, twenty twenty four. I think today is the twenty eighth. I have another cousin. September of twenty twenty during the pandemic. Some of my friends in Orange County heard this not too long after it happened. He was driving home from his mother's. And something happened there in the road. His car flipped off the road and into a lake. Car upside down, sinking. It just so happened that there was a man who saw it happen. And this man got out of his car. And jumped into the water. Now it's muddy. Murky. I can't see anything. He went down. Couldn't find Troy. He came up. He tried again. Went down a second time. Still couldn't find him. He came up again for air. This time he prayed. He went down a third time and he caught part of Troy. And he pulled him out of the car. Under there, under the water. Troy had a scar all the way up the front of him. He pulled him to shore and started CPR. Now again, it's Covid. This person wasn't worried about what might happen. Administering CPR, but come to find out that this man was a trained diver. Troy was saved miraculously. So, speaking to my aunt, his mother, he said. She said he should not be here. But this is really just a picture of what God has done for us. We were lost. No possible way to be saved. Except for somebody would go down. Someone who could go down and lift him up. The Lord Jesus went, came down for us. He went down to where we were. Shed his precious blood. Died on the cross. Rose again so that we might be lifted up. So that we might be lifted up. I probably should have tried to see if I could get a picture and show you the car. But the car in and of itself. It's completely wasted, right? Troy has to have a new car. And so as for us in Christ, we are a new creation. What's there is gone. There's nothing good to come from it anymore. A new life in Christ is what we have in him. We're going to close. Want to? Read the end of this verse again. Or read the verse. Look to me and be saved. All you ends of the earth. For I am God and there is no other. I think Moses also said that, and maybe David said something similar to that as well. There is no other rock I know not one. There is no other name. There is no other name. Under heaven given among men. Whereby we can be saved. There is no other God. Will you surrender your life to Jesus Christ this evening? Will you repent of your sins and confess him as your Lord and Savior? Recognize that he's the one who can save you from certain death. And there isn't a believer in this room, I believe, who would not say that every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. Will you yield your heart, yield your will, and say, Lord Jesus, I believe if you want to talk about that, after we're done, I will stay behind. I can Uber home if I need to. I'll stay behind if anybody wants to talk. But my friend, do not let this moment pass. Troy was just driving home and ended up in certain doom until a man was willing to go down. You can be saved tonight. Will you give your heart to the Lord Jesus? Let's pray. Our blessed God and our father, we thank you for Jesus Christ. We thank you for the one who gives life. The one who makes all things new. Thank you for what he did for us there on the cross of Calvary. Shedding his blood, laying down his life. Thank you that he was raised by the glory of the father and that he lives for us now and even this evening. Anyone in here who is burdened, who has no rest, can experience the love of God. By receiving him as their Lord and Savior. Father, we ask that if there is any here, that they would be willing to open their hearts door to let the Lord Jesus in. We thank you for the day that we've had the wonderful blessing that we've received, and we continue to look to you each step of the way for what you will provide. Knowing that it is life, we give you thanks, our God and Father, for all that you've done. As we thank you for our time together. In Jesus name, Amen. Amen. We thank the Lord for that day. We have been tremendously blessed today in his presence. We have learned so much from his precious word. And finally, we received a personal message to everyone from him directly. And it's our duty now to decide what response should we have towards all what we have heard this morning? There were instructions. There were directions. There were Scripture that were supposed to bring us close to the one who loved us and gave himself for us, and to mold our lives and our actions and our reactions in a way to be honoring and pleasing to Him and Him alone. And we shall give an answer to this. And the Lord might move things in our hearts and our lives and our homes, and our marriages and our work and our testimonies and our ministries tremendously, and make that change that we all would like to see happening in our own lives, in our assemblies, in our testimonies, so that we might be indeed living a life that's honoring to him. And for those who are here who have not tasted the preciousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. The door had not been shut in your faces, but the door still open, and the one who had saved many here in this room, as we have heard this evening from our dear brother Paul, he is willing to do anything it takes to save you, and to assure you of life. Not long life here on earth, but eternal life. And may we believe him. And as Paul mentioned, he is willing to continue answering any questions. So may we take an opportunity and search our own hearts and just walk in the way that the Lord had drawn before us all this day. He will continue if he turns in his coming tomorrow also. And we would love to see him coming to take us home at this moment. But it looks like there are some whom he wants still wants to bring home. And let's pray for, uh, in our time, for the messages that the Lord had sent for us today, that each one had heard what the Lord had said today. Take it to heart and respond in a way that will be honoring to the Lord Jesus Christ.
