Welcome to the World Changers Church Gold Coast Podcast. Join us as we listen to today's message. Amen, amen!
All glory to God! All glory and honour and majesty and power to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! I've realized in this life I can do nothing of myself.
I need Jesus each and every day. I need his word. I need his truth. I need his grace. I need his mercy. I need his love. I just need him.
It's like that song, just give me Jesus. I understand why the person wrote that song. Nothing satisfies like Jesus.
Nothing satisfies like his truth. Nothing satisfies like his word. Amen.
Amen. Well, we all came out of the cyclone. Look at what prayer did. Amen.
I'm fully convinced that it was the prayers of the righteous that dissipated that thing. Amen. That's what prayer will do. The prayers of many around the world were praying specifically for Australia, for this cyclone to dissipate and it happened.
Amen. So some of us got a little uncomfortable without electricity. little uncomfortable without their husband present.
But I can truly say I have grown, amen. I have grown through it all. Yes, all things are possible.
And the wisdom that came, let me tell you, we were churning out the espresso shots. We were freezing them. I'm telling you what, because I'm a coffee girl.
The wisdom that came, amen. I tell you what, I'm prepped now. Don't want anything else to happen.
But you know what? If it does, I know what to do next time. Amen.
I had my boys jumping in the pool. They're like, the pool's going to overflow. Come on, cannonball.
Boom. There, mom, we overflowed it. It's not going to flood the house. We're all good.
I don't know. Hallelujah. Thank God for Jesus.
Amen. Well, I thought that I was going to minister this morning on strengthening yourself in the Lord. And it was such a great study, but that was for myself.
And the Lord said, I want you to minister on the fruit of the Spirit. Living by grace, the fruit of the Spirit. And I was like, wow, God, thank you.
And then this morning, I had my Bible in sermon that I had right by my bag, and I left the house and forgot it. And I said, okay, Lord, you know, I don't really need notes, but I do need my Bible. And so I was like, oh, I've got time.
I'll go back and get it. And on the way out, Carmen said in her prophetic gifting, the Lord's going to speak to you more. It's not an accident.
The Lord's going to speak to you more in the way. Let me tell you, he was speaking to me and at every stoplight, I had my pen and this writing down notes of what the Lord was speaking. So he spoke some more good stuff to me, amen.
That's the overflow right there. So we are gonna overflow this morning, amen. All right, well, Father, I just thank you, Lord.
I thank you for your great grace. I thank you for your truth. I thank you for your mercy and I thank you for your love. I thank you that in you that we have everything that pertains to life and pertains to godliness.
So Father, I just thank you that this morning you will speak through my vocal cords and you will think through my mind. I declare, Lord, that it is all of you And none of me, Father, none of me, Father, but all of you. And I declare you victorious.
I declare you reigning in our life and I give you glory for it all. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. For those of you that had your eye open, you saw my pin top go flying.
Caps are off, amen. All right. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.
Amen. Well, I used to think long ago when I entered into church, I used to think several things about the fruit of the Spirit. I remember that when Kyle and I transitioned from, we got saved in a Baptist church, and we, you know, everything Holy Spirit was not so, you know, welcome there, you know.
And we just kept encountering the Holy Spirit in everything that we read. And, you know, Kyle met a friend, his brother, that's a longtime friend of ours, that would tell him all about the Holy Spirit. And I remember when we walked into, it was a Pentecostal church when we told the pastor of the Baptist church, you know, I think God is leading us on and we were heartbroken.
I cried for weeks. I did not want to go because that was where God had us. But we transitioned to a Pentecostal church and I remember going to Bible study.
They had morning Bible study and then they had church and And I remember the little lady sitting in a chair, she was an older lady, and she was talking about the fruit of the Spirit. And I thought, what is this? Is it like apples or orange juice?
Or like, what is this thing? I was trying to naturally comprehend what is the fruit of the Spirit. And then I used to think also, well, is this a list of commands?
Is it like God saying, I command you to love and be gentle? Is it a list of commands? What is this?
Well, it's not apples and oranges. And it's not a list of commands, but it's what we have because of the Holy Spirit, amen? So I'm gonna break down the fruit of the Spirit this morning to you as simply as I can, okay?
So we've got lots of scripture, so we'll go ahead and begin. I wanna first start by reading Galatians 5, 22 and 23. Galatians 5, 22 and 23.
It says this, but the fruit of the Spirit, now, my amplified version says this, in parentheses, the result of His presence within us. It says, but the fruit of the Spirit, the result of His presence within us. Now you notice it doesn't say the fruits, plural, of the spirit.
Fruit, it is singular. Is love and selfish concern for others. Joy and inner joy.
Peace. Patience. Not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting.
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such, there is no law. Amen.
So we often read about the fruit of the Spirit. It's not a checklist, okay? It's not a farmer's market, okay?
It's not something that we must work to develop in our lives. We don't have to work to develop it. But the reality is the fruit of the Spirit has nothing to do with our striving. It has nothing to do with our effort.
It's about the life of Christ, Jesus Christ and His Spirit in us. It's not something that we produce, okay? We don't produce it.
No one else can produce it for you. The amount of teaching and everything, we'll break that down a little bit, but nothing produces it other than the Spirit within us. The Holy Spirit in us produces fruit in and through us as we rest in grace, as we rest in Jesus.
Amen? The command here when we read this, the fruit of the Spirit is love. The command isn't to be more loving.
When it talks about peace, it's not be more peaceful. When it talks about kindness, it's not be more kind. In fact, let's go to Galatians 5 and 16.
This is a little bit above what we just read, Galatians 5 and 16. So I say, walk, my amplified version says, but I say walk and live habitually in the Holy Spirit. responsive to, controlled and guided by the Spirit, then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh of human nature without God.
That's the command, and that's the invitation, to live, to walk, to reside, to abide in the Spirit of God. Amen? To walk in step with the Spirit, to abide in the Spirit, to be guided by the Spirit of God, to be controlled by the Spirit of God, acknowledging Him first and forehand, what, Lord, would you have me to do?
What would you have me to do? John 15, five says this. This is how we abide.
He says, I am the vine. That's our father. I am the vine.
You are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, this is the how, you will bear much fruit. He is divine in him, abiding in him, living in him, walking according to the spirit, being guided by his spirit, being controlled by his spirit.
And if you remain in him and him and you, you will bear much fruit. It doesn't say you will harvest fruit. It doesn't say that you will have to go and reap the fruit.
It doesn't say that you have to make it work. You remain in him, in him, in you. I'm going to give you some keys a little bit later on.
One of the most pivotal moments in my life was when I realized that I don't have to force it. I don't have to self-effort it. I don't have to make it happen.
I just have to abide, trust, remain, live in Him, and do what He says do. Walk according to the Spirit. The biggest, this is a key nugget from this morning, the biggest pressure relief is remaining in Him, abiding in Him.
The best pain relief is remaining in Him, abiding in Him. As a minister, I've had to learn this the hard way, I remain in Him and do what He says do. Fruit will bear.
Fruit will bear in my life, in your life, in ministry, But when I realized that we are called to bear fruit by remaining in Him and He in us, that made a big difference in my life. Producing is not about striving. Bearing is about abiding and remaining and living.
Producing is about striving. Bearing is about remaining and abiding and living in him. It's in him that we live.
It's in him that we move. And it's in him that we have our very being. In him. In him.
Some of you are launching businesses. The greatest thing that you can do with your business is to remain in him. seek His wisdom because of His Spirit in you, you will have innovative ideas.
My brother recently, I love my brother and his wisdom in business. He builds houses, develops and everything, my baby brother. And I called him not too long ago and on his hat, it said thumbs up, thumbs up dump or something like that, thumbs up dump.
And I'm like, what's that on your hat? And he goes, it's my new business. I said, well, what is it?
He goes, you know those skip bins that I have ordered to put on my job sites and I throw all the rubbish in it. And I was like, yeah. He goes, I own that now.
He said, so I'm not only delivering them for myself, I'm delivering them for other people that need to throw their rubbish away. Brilliant. So that's what God does.
God will expand your vision, right? He, because of his wisdom, will give you the wisdom to create wealth. Anyway, that's a side nugget there for somebody.
Amen. The producing is not about striving. Bearing is about abiding. Amen.
We walk in the spirit. Amen. So the source of the fruit is the spirit, not our strength, not our striving.
I think many Christians believe, and I thought this as well, that growth comes from willpower. It comes from discipline. You know, that's where my growth comes from.
But Paul makes it clear that transformation is the work of the Spirit. Galatians 5, 16. Let the Holy Spirit guide your lives, then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. That's the New Living Translation.
I read the Amplified, walk and live habitually in the Spirit, responsive and controlled and guided by the Spirit, then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh. A lot of people think, oh, you know, I have this addiction and that addiction, I need to go and, you know, yes, there are times that people need counseling, need help, need to get that rooted out. But as a Christian, They need to walk and live and remain and abide in His Spirit.
That's where the true transformation comes from. This Holy Spirit's work in us is not about sin management. Even though the Holy Spirit will convict us and it comes with peace and comfort and everything, but it's about a heart transformation. Our hearts have to be transformed because that's where the word goes in.
Amen. That's where we plant. That's where we plant is in our heart.
The fruit does not come from law keeping, but it comes from trusting Jesus. Abiding and remaining. Transformation is not about trying harder.
How many times have you said, I've said, I'm just gonna try harder. I'm just gonna try harder. It's not about trying harder.
It's about surrendering to the Spirit. Have your way in me, Lord. Have your way in me, Lord.
I'm gonna learn of you. I'm gonna break that down in just a minute. The law tells us what to do, but grace empowers us to do it.
You know, in ministry, there is so much that comes at you in a day. There's countless of days that I have 14 plus 15 hour days. Like I wake up, you know, especially on Wednesdays.
Wednesdays is the days and I'm like, I need you Lord, great grace. Waking up at five, you know, getting on the prayer call, going into work, seven o'clock morning meeting, eight o'clock another logistics meeting, working all day, leaving at 4.30. For the past couple of weeks, it's been coming for worship and parting into worship, which has been amazing, by the way.
Logging on to the U.S. at eight because they're preparing for a conference. And then 10 o'clock, 9.30, 10 o'clock, my day is done. So however many numbers that is, that's one day.
And there's many days, you know, because I'm a pastor, I'm a working pastor. And let me tell you, there's days that I'm like, Lord, I need you. I need you recording podcasts for the prayer and fasting that we have coming up, amen.
Writing that out, getting it all sorted. I mean, let me tell you, some days I'm like, ooh, that great grace is showing out in my life because Lord, I could not have done this without you. So let me tell you, I need to walk in the spirit because when I'm in step with that spirit, with his spirit, there's that rhythm that comes this rhythm of grace, this ebb and flow.
And at the end of the day, I'm like, Lord, thank you for that. And help me. No longer do I say, well, Father, I made this mistake.
Father, I messed up here. I say, Lord, help me to walk in your spirit. Because when I walk in your spirit, I then can be guided by you.
I then can be, you know, you speak to me, you show me, I remain in you. And then I'm bearing your fruit, Lord. Amen.
Such a difference. Such a difference. So we have a lemon tree in the front of our house, a lemon tree.
And what I've noticed with this tree, it looks raggy right now because my shade cell broke and it beat up the tree a little bit. But you know, a tree doesn't struggle to bear fruit. It happens naturally because it is planted and rooted in a soil, right? All trees. And this lemon tree, when I moved in, it had lemons.
You know, they were yellow. I think we picked maybe one. And then I saw these little green ones.
This was probably eight months ago, maybe. These little green ones. And I'm standing looking at it.
Maybe it's a crossbreed because they're remaining green. Maybe this is a lime tree. Maybe some of the branches because I couldn't figure out why are you not turning yellow? Why for months and months and months are you green?
You look like a lime. You should be a lemon. So then recently in the last couple of weeks, those of you that saw my reel, I got to pick some lemons that were yellow. But a lemon tree, it takes about eight, seven, eight months for it to turn yellow and be a lemon.
So it knows what to do. It naturally does that. And that's what I learned in the process.
You know, an apple tree, it doesn't stress itself into growing apples. It stays rooted. It takes in the sunlight.
It draws from the soil. And in time, the fruit grows. Amen.
Same thing with us, remaining, abiding, living in, being planted in Jesus Christ, being rooted in Jesus Christ, we grow, we produce, okay? Now, I wanna break down the nine attributes of the Spirit's fruit. All right, number one, we're gonna go to Oh, and remember this, we don't force fruit to grow in our life.
We stay connected to the source. He is the vine, we are the branches, and we walk in the spirit and we will bear fruit, amen? So the nine attributes, we're gonna see how grace plays a role in their growth.
Number one, love. Love is the foundation of all things. The Bible says even about prophecy, without love, it's nothing, amen?
You know, without love, it is nothing. So this is not a human love. This is an agape love. This is a unconditional love, an unconditional love of God.
1 John 4, 19 says, we loved God. We love because he first loved us. So we think that we choose him. We think that we, oh, I'm a Christian, I love you now, God. When in reality, he chose us before the foundation of the world and he loved us so much that many, many years ago, he sent his son Jesus for all of us, for all of mankind. He chose us first. He loved us first. And because He loves us, we love because He first loved us.
We don't love to earn God's favor. We love because we have already received it. We love Him because He first loved us, amen?
Joy, number two, joy. Joy is a constant state, not a temporary emotion. Happiness is fickle.
Happiness is fickle. Happiness will be up and down, you know, but joy is not based on circumstances. It is a deep, unshakable joy that comes from knowing we are secure in Christ Jesus.
Nehemiah 8 and 10 says that the joy of the Lord is your strength. The Apostle Paul says that when trials and tribulation comes, count it all joy. Why? Because when you count it joy, you will have a strength that will get you through that comes from him and his spirit.
Amen? Number three, peace. Peace.
the result of his grace. Jesus has given us peace, not as the world gives, John 14, 27. When we understand that we are fully justified by Jesus, Romans 5, 1, we experience a peace that surpasses all understanding.
We are justified. We are declared righteous. We have given a right standing with God through faith.
Let us grasp the fact that we have the peace. reconciliation, to hold and to enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. What's the common theme here?
Jesus is the soil. Grace is the soil. Grace is the person Jesus.
Amen. Amen. Number four, patience.
Grace teaches us that patience isn't about waiting, but how we respond while we wait. We can be patient because we trust God's perfect timing. His timing is always the right timing.
Amen? We can be patient because we trust God that he has good plans for our life. Number five, kindness.
Titus 3, 4, and 5 tells us that when the kindness and love of God, our Savior appeared to man, when the goodness and loving kindness of God, our Savior appeared, to man has appeared. Amen. He saved us not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
Kindness flows from a heart that has received mercy. A lot of people think, oh, I'm being weak. If I'm kind, I'm a doormat of if I'm kind, oh, gonna be taken advantage of.
You know what? Jesus was taken advantage of. If anybody on this planet that ever walked this planet was taken advantage of, it was Jesus.
He gave his life for our mankind freely because of love. And you know what? Hey, I've been taken advantage of many times in ministry.
in many different realms. And at the end of the day, I said, you know what, Lord? At least I can say I didn't hold back.
At least I can say I can give. At least I can say, you know what, God? You're just making room in my life for the more.
I'm never shortchanging you because you have so much pouring out into my life. There's so many containers all around me that I can't see that because of your spirit, you're gonna pour out more. Did it hurt?
Yes. Was it unfortunate? Yes.
But you know what? At the end of the day, I'm never shortchanged because of Jesus. That's the soil that I'm planted in.
That's the soil. That's the truth. That's the life.
That's where I remain. That's where I have to remain because if I don't remain there, I'm really gonna lose my mind, right? It's so true.
It's so true. But in him is it, is everything. I think I'm on number six.
Or seven, goodness. Goodness is the integrity and moral excellence that comes from a heart transformed by grace. Ephesians 2.10 says, we are God's handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works, to do goodness.
It is the goodness of God that led me to repentance, that led me to Jesus, that led me to salvation. It's the goodness of God that's gonna lead others to salvation. It's not, you know what? You're not doing what the Bible says do.
Can I share something? I won't go into full detail. Okay, so thank you, Eli.
Love Eli. So Eli went through what I call an identity crisis years ago. And as a parent, it was hard, you know, to see him go through that.
It was, you know, I remember that there were times that, you know, he had a moment that he was kind of saying the things that he had done and doing. And, you know, I really wanted to slap him. And that's just being honest.
I really wanted to just whoop his tail. And so Kyle, I think, saw the look in my eyes, and he goes, honey, go to your bedroom. I said, right, I need to.
So I went there, and I repositioned myself. to be in his spirit and not my flesh. And we came out, Kyle and I. Kyle was, daddy was very gentle but firm.
And I just looked at him and I said, this is not who you are. I don't know who this is. My son is good and I love you. And you're just having a moment.
But I love you. And this is not who you are. I know who you are.
And you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. And we had some ministers from the States come over and they were going through things with their son. And Rudy said, he said, just having a difficult time with my son.
And I was like, oh, we just went through that with Eli. He's coming out. He's came out on the other side.
And he goes, what did you do? And I said, let's bring Eli in. Let's ask him.
And Eli said, it's because mom reminded me and dad reminded me of who I was. It wasn't the discipline. It was the goodness of love and kindness and mercy.
And praise God, you know, praise God. But it truly is the goodness of God. When you are good to someone that's like, gosh, I deserve bad.
I mean, when they were little, they'd get bad report cards and we'd take them out for ice cream. We believe in you. We're going to celebrate.
You made it through the term. We love you. You're going to do good next week.
I mean, who does that? But you know what? Do we get what we deserve from God?
Never. We get goodness. Amen.
Faithfulness. 2 Timothy 2.13 says, if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself. God's faithfulness enables us to remain steadfast, knowing that he is trustworthy.
You know, in this time of life, when there's so many things happening in the world, you know, we need to know that God is faithful. even when we are not. But in him, we can remain faithful to him through it all. We can know and be steadfast, knowing that he is trustworthy.
The next root of the spirit or attribute is gentleness. Jesus, though an all-powerful, described himself as gentle and humble in heart in Matthew 11 and 29. Jesus himself described himself as gentle and humble in heart. Again, gentleness is not weakness.
It's strength under control planted in Jesus, planted in grace. Here, take my yoke upon you. Learn of me, for I am gentle, meek, and humble, lowly in heart, and you will find rest.
That's Jesus. That's how Jesus describes himself there. It's not weakness.
It's a fruit of the Spirit. I remember years ago, I looked at PK and I said, babe, you need to be gentle. You need a little bit of gentleness to come through there.
And he's like, well, what do you mean? I'm a man. I said, well, what do I mean?
You have a spirit in you and gentleness is a fruit of the spirit, darling. And he was like, oh. I said, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Walk in that. walking that. But it's so true.
You know, a lot of men think, well, I'm a man. But gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit. And some women are that way.
Let me not be biased here. But gentleness is a fruit of the Spirit. Amen.
And it's definitely not weakness. Self-control, this is the Spirit's ability in us to say no to sin and yes to righteousness. Titus 2, 11 and 12 reminds us, the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to has come forth, appeared for the deliverance from sin and the eternal salvation for all mankind.
Again, being planted, it has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness and worldly passionate desires to live discreet, temperate, self-controlled, upright, devout, spiritually whole lives in this present world. We have self-control already by His Spirit on the inside of us. You know, grace, a lot of times people say, well, you know what?
Grace is a license to sin. No, grace is no excuse to sin. It empowers us to overcome sin.
It empowers us to overcome sin. And I have this picture here. I think it's been flashing a few times.
We have the fruit of the Spirit here, the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit. And then we have this soil that we are to plant in, which is Jesus, which is grace, okay? So a lot of times people say, I need to grow in my patience.
No, no. Where you need to grow, we're gonna go to 2 Peter 3, 18, I think it is. But grow in grace.
Grow in Jesus. Undeserved favor and spiritual strength and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We don't grow in the fruit of the Spirit.
We have it. We have it. We are to grow in the knowledge, in the understanding of Jesus.
Of the word of God. Of truth. Jesus, the word made flesh. The word of God.
That's where we grow. Okay, so if I went to a personal trainer right now, my body needs it. They would tell me my fat content, body mass index, they would say, what are you eating? And I would say, I love my pistachios and cranberries at night.
And I eat a lot of them. And I love my chocolate. And I don't eat breakfast.
And then the trainer will say, he will give me knowledge. He will show me what to do, right? And then it's up to me to do what that trainer does. Same with working out with muscles. If a bodybuilder wanted to go to a competition, They would need to understand their body. They would need to work out their body. They would need to grow their muscles and everything.
Do you kind of get what I'm saying here? It's no different. Same with Sarah.
She's studying psychology. You know, she's gaining knowledge. She's gaining understanding. She's learning to be a psychologist.
Same in the spiritual realm. We grow in Jesus. We learn of Jesus.
We become skilled in righteousness. Our right standing with him. That's how we bear fruit.
That's how we grow in grace. Galatians 5, 19 and 21, it's the contrast of the fruit of the Spirit with the works of the flesh. I said it before, fruit is singular.
It's a unified work of the Spirit. Works, if you read this chapter here, the works are plural. The works of the flesh. because it's not unified, but the fruit, singular, of the Spirit.
The works being plural is man-made attempts to be righteous. And let me tell you, living under grace means that we're not striving to avoid sin, but we are yielding to the Spirit of God, allowing His Spirit and His fruit to bear through us and in us Key takeaways, fruit grows, works are produced. We bear fruit, works are produced.
If you are constantly striving to be better, you're operating under works. If you are resting in Jesus and learning of him, transformation will come effortlessly. You know, most of us don't have a joy or a patience problem.
We have a soil problem. We have a what are we walking in problem. And the soil that we are planted in determines the fruit that will produce or that will grow.
How do we grow and allow the fruit of the Spirit to bear through us? We stay connected to the vine. We keep our eyes on Jesus.
We renew our mind. We pray. We spend time with Him.
We read. We gain understanding of His Word. We rest in grace.
We rest in Him. Growth happens when we trust, not strive. We grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We renew our minds. When those things come, the battlefield of the mind, we take hold of it. We capture those thoughts and we renew it to the word of God.
And we are led by his spirit. We follow his spirit. We follow his spirit. We follow his spirit.
The world can present so many flashy things. The world can present so many money investing opportunities. I don't know. The world can present some really funky things out there.
We need to know and be led by his spirit in all things. And in conclusion, the fruit of the Spirit is not about effort, but abiding in Christ. And as we grow in Jesus, you know, Alpha, perfect example.
Alpha was a fantastic course that the people that attended, I believe that they grew in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. It's about abiding in Christ Jesus. And as we grow in grace, the Spirit naturally produces and bears through us.
And the fruit of the Spirit is not something you work for. It's something that flows from intimacy in Christ Jesus, amen? Abiding in Him is the best pressure relief and pain relief that we could ever encounter, amen?
I know that there is a lot in this topic. There's many rapid trails that I could have broken down even more and went into even more. And I know I'm a little over time team, I do apologize.
But I hope you've learned something today. I hope that you've learned something that you can take hold of and apply to your life. that will help you in your everyday life, because that's what we want to do.
We want to teach you and equip you for your everyday life and your coming and your going, that you know that you have it on the inside of you because of Jesus. You have it already. You have it.
There's not one thing that he has not left out when you gave your life to Jesus. That moment, you have it. You just need to know that you have it.
Amen? Amen. Everybody will stand for a moment, please.
Father, I thank you for your spirit working in us. I thank you, Father, that we have the fruit of the Spirit on the inside. Father, help us to abide and remain in you so that we can bear much fruit effortlessly.
Teach us to rest in your grace. Teach us to rest and grow in Jesus. And we trust that as we stay connected to you, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control, and all the others will naturally flow from our lives.
And we surrender to your spirit. We say, thank you, Father. We acknowledge you.
We say, Lord, what would you have us to do? Thank you, Father, that we surrender to your spirit. And we thank you for transforming us from the inside out.
And we rest in your grace and we trust that as we abide in you, that the fruit of love, joy, peace will flow through us. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father, that we live in your spirit daily.
And even when we fall down, Father, we have an advocate with you. And even when we mess up, Father, you don't hold it against us. And I thank you for that because I mess up often.
So I thank you, Father, that you hold nothing from us, Father. That your love conquers all things, Father. And I thank you for your love for each and every person here.
You know what they need. You know what they've been searching for. You know what they've put before you and have been asking, Father.
And my prayer is that they will hear your voice. that they will hear your voice, Father. And I thank you that they are never shortchanged in you.
I thank you, Father, for the provision. I thank you, Father, that you will show them as they call upon your name, that you will show them great and mighty things that they know not of, Father. I thank you, Lord, that you will show them possibility, that you will show them restoration, that you will show them wholeness, Father, that you will show them good days that are ahead, days of joy, days of peace, days of patience. Thank you, Father, for the jobs and the promotions, Lord. Thank you, Father, for the businesses and the business ideas, Father.
I thank you that fear has no ground or foothold in their lives, Father. I thank you that we have your wisdom, that we have your love, we have your mercy, Father. And I thank you for your great grace.
It's in Jesus's name I pray. Amen and amen and amen and amen. Amen.
