0:00 Oh, come on. Let's give Jesus a great hand clap. He's wonderful. Come on, everybody. Let's really give Jesus praise. Amen. Wow.0:13 Such a blessing to be here. Jeff's told me all about this new building you have, and I'm just honored, very, very honored. In fact, his introduction was over the top. Dude, I can hardly wait to hear myself after that0:24 introduction. I don't know if my wife would agree with all of that good stuff, but anyway, hey, I love you, and just wanna just give a shout out to Jeff and0:36 Kim. You know, they they were front row people at Pastors University that now had 354 guys go through it in the last since COVID started, actually January0:48 20 20. And they were just just front row, just hand up every lesson or 2, just questions, hungry, amazing, and1:00 so we just got kinda close in that time. And now just to see you and see the church and the amazing staff that I've had a a privilege to meet, it is just an a real honor.1:12 And many of you men were here yesterday? Raise up your hand. We had some great guys here. Give them a hand clap for rolling out of bed on a Saturday morning. Yeah. So I1:23 just, you know, been praying about this year of 20 22. And, you know, it it it started back, Pastor's University, in January of 20 20,1:35 and it's been a rough couple of years if if all of us be honest about it. You know, just politically, financially, health wise, pandemically, it's you1:47 just name it. It's been it's been rough. It's been a lot of transitions. But as I went into this year, I was actually praying for the Lord to just make a shift1:58 somehow. And interestingly enough, he brought me to the the last chapter of the bible to the book of Revelation where it speaks about a tree of life2:11 that bears fruit every month, which is interesting because we know there's no time in heaven. It's eternal, but yet it does describe the time duration of a month. And that2:22 every month, there is a new fruit on that tree or the trees of life, whatever it may be. And so pears 1 month, apples 1 month, I don't know. I have no idea.2:34 We'll find out. But I guess what spoke to me was that God wants to bless me with a new miracle every month in this year. And I want I have been2:46 claiming that with our church since January when I first sort of unpacked this message there at our church, and people have told me that throughout this year they have had2:58 amazing miracles in 5 areas, which I'm gonna share with you in a in a moment. And I know we're a little bit down the year, but doesn't matter. It's a scriptural principle that3:10 God wants to bless you. And in the book of Psalms, which I love Psalms, it's 1 of my favorite books of the Bible. Chapter 1 12, if you happen to have a Bible, which3:22 I know you don't. You look on your phone or the screen. But anyway, if you happen to and you turn there, you'll notice it's a short Psalm. Just 10 or 11 verses3:34 but it is an acrostic psalm. It takes the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and it for each phrase starts with a different letter like a b c d for our alphabet. But this is3:46 a very short psalm, but it's about the blessing. Everybody say, the blessing. The blessing of God is so amazing that He blessed Adam and Eve. He3:58 blessed Abraham it says. He blessed Noah when he came out of the ark. God's God's wanting to bless you. And you may not realize this, but4:09 blessings are not automatic. They don't come to you and and you do have to pick the fruit off the tree. Blessings are something that God has provided but4:21 your faith has to reach out and take. I like to make it kinda like the promised land. God promised them this beautiful land with rivers, streams,4:34 orchards, gardens, houses that they didn't build but you know it wasn't automatic. Basically, you see that grace provides4:46 but faith receives. I'm gonna say that again. Grace provides but faith receives. You gotta take it like the woman with the issue of4:57 blood. Jesus didn't even know she came up behind her him. He said, who touched me? She he was walking grace. Grace was coming out of him, but nobody else for some5:09 reason reached out their faith and took their healing except that little woman with an issue of blood 12 years, and she was healed. Now you may be sitting here today saying, man, my life needs a blessing.5:21 I need miracles. I need breakthroughs in my kids, in my finances, with my relationships, with my emotions, with my calling. I need breakthroughs. Well, it's gonna be you5:33 reaching out and taking it. It it's it's not a siege mentality that's where most Christians are, it's a seize mentality. Now you know my5:45 favorite movie of all times is air force 1. And that great theologian Harrison Ford, come on somebody. And I5:57 just love it man. He hides on air force 1, those terrorists take over the plane and he hides. They think he's jettisoned but he hasn't and he's hiding down in the baggage down below and he6:09 tricks them down there with noises and all and starts killing them and and he's the president, man. And I mean, he's, you know, he's fighting and taking care of business and well, finally, he gets down to the very last6:20 guy, the worst terrorist, the 1 that was the mastermind goes down into the cargo hold and he and Harrison Ford have it out down there. And they get the tail of the6:32 the air force 1 plane down, you know how all kind of vehicles can drive up in it and all. They get that down and they're fighting out on this tailgate if you remember. And it looks like6:44 Harrison's gonna get thrown off and this guy's strangling him or whatever, but he managed to get a loop of rope around this guy and tie a knot, and then he kicks him over his head6:56 and the man goes flying off the plane and he's about 50 yards away just dangling at the end of this rope, and he's dead, and that's that's sort of the denouement of this huge drama.7:08 But the greatest line in the history of all cinematography happened when he said, and can anybody remember what he said? Get off of plane. Get7:23 off of my7:23 plane. What a what a thing to say to a terrorist at, you know, at the end of all this stuff that had happened. Get off of my plane. And if you don't7:35 remember anything else about the message today, just remember, you're gonna have to kick the devil off your plane. And he's gonna stay on there at7:47 the controls until you realize who you are in Christ. You're born again, you're saved, you are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Christ7:59 put his foot on Satan's head and defeated him and rose from the dead, and he brought you up spiritually to sit with him in heavenly places, and you have authority over the devil. So8:11 come8:11 on stomp your foot a8:12 little bit in your chair and go, get off of my plane in Jesus name. Now that's what I'm talking about faith because it says fight the good fight of faith.8:24 Fight the good fight. Faith is a fight. Faith is a press. Faith is a is a taking, a seizing of something that grace has already provided.8:37 Now let me enumerate these 5 areas. You can jot them down if you'd like or if you have your bible, you can write them in the margin. But tomorrow morning, I want you to get up or if you come to the prodigal prayer8:49 meeting on Sunday night or you come to the prayer meeting Tuesday night, let this be a great little template for prayer. And we're gonna start right with verse 2 where it9:01 says that of the blessed man or woman, his offspring or children will be mighty mighty in the9:12 land. Not weak, not a part of the problem. They're gonna be a part of the answer, part of the solution. I deal with parents all the time even Christian9:24 parents. They don't understand why their kids are not serving God and why the enemy is just taking them away and all that and they think Lord if you want, if you will do something please do something and he's not gonna9:35 do any more than he's already done. He says, your children will be mighty in the land and the generation of the upright, that's me and you who serve9:46 God will be blessed. When Melanie and I got married 19 76 we left 2 weeks later for Africa to be9:58 missionaries. I led a team of ORU students and so we were supposed to be there 6 weeks we ended up staying for 2 years off and on we went back and forth twice. But I mean we just10:09 really kind of reached a point in our lives where we knew that we were ready to start our family. We had no idea what would happen. We had our firstborn Joel and10:21 then we had Jonathan, and we had Jared, we had Melissa. We thought we were through, and about 6 years later Melanie said, I want some more. So we had another little boy and said, well, he needs a buddy. So we ended up10:32 having 5 boys and a girl. Come on. I I I told the guys yesterday, I'm not just pro life. I'm prolific. Come on. You're you know what I'm talking about. So if they would, put my little family picture up there somewhere.10:43 That's my flock from 20 19. Now that's when I had 16 grandchildren. Now number 19 is on the way. My nineteenth grandchild is in10:55 the oven gonna be born in January. And we could have 22, 24. I have no idea. But I did keep 5 of them this week for 6 days and11:07 I escaped to Denver to get up here with you. So what I'm saying is they're a huge blessing, but what what this scripture is saying is you're not gonna just11:19 bear children, you're gonna bless children. What a difference. When you serve God and you train them up in the way they should go, you bring them to kids11:30 church. You you read the word of God to them at night. You pray with them. You have no idea that you're not just affecting your lifetime, but they say that in 511:42 generations from you, you'll have 1200 descendants. 1200. And that's an average. Now some may not have that many but some may have more.11:55 They trace the genealogy and if you've heard this, forgive me, but they trace the genealogy of 2 people who lived in the 17 hundreds in America. 1 of them12:08 was a college president, actually Princeton's president Jonathan Edwards, a pastor. From him 5 generations12:20 came quite a legacy and I'm gonna put this up on the screen for you somewhere they'll put this up. They call it the 5 generation rule. From that 1 man and his wife12:31 came a US vice president, a dean of a law school, a dean of a medical school, 3 US senators. He had no idea when he was alive that those would be from him12:43 120 years later. 3 governors, 3 mayors, 13 college presidents, 13. 30 judges, 60 doctors,12:55 65 professors, 75 military officers, 80 public office holders, 100 lawyers, 10013:06 clergymen, and 285 college graduates. That came from him and his wife and he never saw most of them. At the same time they traced a13:18 notorious criminal named Max Jukes. Mister Jukes was in New York Correctional Institute in and out for years.13:30 So they traced 5 generations and it was about 1200 people, but the difference was stark. It says in that in in this particular13:41 study, he had 7 murderers, 60 thieves, 190 prostitutes, 150 other convicts, 31013:53 paupers, 440 who were physically wrecked by addiction to alcohol. Of his 1200 descendants that were studied, 300 died prematurely.14:05 What a difference. In the water of life and the water of death, in the blessing coming out on 1200 descendants, and the curse14:17 falling on 1200 different people. And that is all inside of you and I. We are carrying legacy. And when it says14:29 the children of the righteous shall be blessed, I claim that promise today that they will be mighty in the earth. 1 of my kids is over our church planting arm of Serge. He14:41 planted 465 churches last year. 1 of them is the pastor of the church. They had 4000 people saved last year. 1 is the CFO. 1 is the worship14:52 pastor of Bethany. And on and on, 1 is a campus pastor. And then my youngest has started a business that he wants to fund all of the above. It's amazing what15:04 God can do just in 1 generation but I'm fully expecting 1200 to be mighty in the earth. Raise your hand if you'll agree that's gonna happen to you too. Yes.15:16 A second blessing, just I'm touching on these, is your finances will be blessed. Isn't it interesting that he would just go right down the line prioritizing family but then15:28 finances. It says in verse 3, wealth and riches are in his house. Now I'm not 1 that says God wants everybody to have 5015:40 homes and 25 cars and everything. Know Jay Leno, bless his already has 75 cars in a warehouse. I don't want 75 cars. I can barely get the inspection sticker15:51 changed on my 2 cars. It comes around so fast. Or changing the oil and all that. I don't want 75 cars. I don't want a home that's 50000 square feet and I have16:03 to run around cleaning 25 bathrooms. Man, we barely can get the 1 we have clean. Say amen. Come on now. But what I am saying is that I know16:15 that if I live in poverty and in bondage to debt, I'll never be able to bless anybody else. God told Abraham, I will bless you.16:27 Okay. Then he said, I'll make you a blessing. If you've not been blessed financially, you can't be a blessing to others. Duh. That that kind of that revelation came to16:39 me. So I have been asking not for more properties or more money or more anything for myself, I'm I'm good, man. Hey, I could live off the land for quite some time like most of you, you know, we got16:51 plenty. But what about the needs of the world? What about those 2 and a half billion people that have never heard the name of Jesus Christ? 2 and a half billion.17:03 And it takes finances to build those radio stations and buy those bibles and all that it takes to finish the great commission. You know, David Green, Hobby Lobby,17:15 they're really amazing people. In fact, they have a model store in Oklahoma City that no 1 ever shops in except David Green goes in there every Saturday and17:26 prays. And he walks up and down the aisles of a model Hobby Lobby and prays for God to show him how to generate wealth. And they are multi billionaires17:38 because the next week he changes prices and moves away around displays and they implement it in all the stores and they make hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars with the changes he makes every Saturday.17:49 He walked into my alma mater ORU that was being sold that week to OU, Oklahoma University. For the first time, they couldn't make their payroll in 40 years. He walked in18:01 there to a board meeting. God spoke to him to go there. And he said, what do y'all need? They said, we need 50000000 dollars, we're in debt. We're losing the university this week. He sat down and wrote a18:13 check for 50000000. He said, what else do you need? He said, we need 50000000 for deferred maintenance. We haven't fixed our buildings in 15 years. We didn't have the money. He wrote a check for 50000000. He18:25 said, what else do you need? He said, we need 150000000 for a trust fund, a legacy fund so that we can have that for the future. He said, I'll have to ask my family about that. And he ultimately wrote a check for18:36 150000000. The man has given them 250000000 dollars and he coughed and that fell out of his pocket. Come on somebody in this room. I'm just saying,18:48 how many of you would love to have financial resources that when there's a need, you can write the check and meet that need for somebody else? Come on, wave your hand out there. That's right. And this is a verse and the19:00 devil will tell you, well, no, not you now. You're not supposed to have anything. But the children of Israel were slaves, and they came out, Psalm says, with silver and gold.19:12 God so put fear in the Egyptians that they gave them all their wealth. They transferred the wealth of Egypt onto the slaves of Israel,19:24 and they had enough to build a tabernacle out of solid gold. Let me tell you, I don't know what God's gonna do to bless you, but you need to tell the devil, get off of my plane in the financial area in this19:36 year. Come on, say amen. Hey, we just need to marinate on that just a moment. But here's number 3, all of these miracles and blessings19:48 are for you. They're they're provided. The next verse says about your relationships. He says in verse 4, he or that righteous person or woman or man19:59 is gracious, merciful or forgives and is righteous. What is that talking about? It's talking about how you relate to people20:12 because people you know are getting pretty ornery these days. And I've been flying for many years and I fly 110 flights a year usually blah blah blah, But man, people are getting20:24 it's getting like hair, teeth, and eyeballs on these airplanes now. That overhead bin for people to try to get their bag in there and all that, they'll come to blows, man. They'll come to fist fights20:35 over who gets their bag in there and all and and we see so much division and tension between groups that were always fine with each20:47 other. Now all of a sudden there's this animosity in America. There's this hatred. There's this division. There's you know what I'm talking about. So how do we reverse it? We tell the20:59 devil to get off of our relationships. Even our family members are divided over silly insignificant things that we hear on some news station.21:11 Well I've decided that in this year I'm gonna have a drama free year. Doesn't that sound delicious? Look at your21:23 neighbor and say, drama free year. Oh. How good and pleasant the psalmist says it is when brothers dwell together in21:35 unity. Unity, it's like the precious oil on the head of Aaron that ran down his garment to the skirts of his garments. There the Lord commanded the blessing. If the devil can21:47 just get you cross threaded with people, he steals your blessing. I've decided there's no relationship worth21:58 sacrificing my blessing over. I'm gonna forgive people. I even get up in the morning say Lord I forgive them in advance.22:10 You know I mean like if you ever had anybody that that you were maybe on your phone for a second at a red light and they started blowing their horn at you man.22:22 So that's 1 of my pet peeves. What about you know, so many things can happen during a day, but I forgive them in advance. I say, Lord, put your love inside of me. And I just have to say,22:35 I love Facebook. I'm on Facebook. I have a blog, you know, 50000 people read that blog sometime. But guess what? People are they say they're friends but they22:46 suddenly turn into enemies on Facebook. We could call them frenemies. It's a new term you can say now. And so the Lord told me, why don't you just get off of22:58 Facebook and get your face back in the book? How about it in 20 22? And I'm not opposed to Facebook, but I'm just saying23:10 we've had enough drama, and I don't need to hear any more about who's upset and why. I'm not upset, I'm23:22 blessed. Come on, say it out loud, I'm blessed. Okay. How about number 4? We we we are touching on some vital areas here and in verse 6, it's all in this 1 little Psalm. Great23:34 template to pray Tuesday night and Sunday. The righteous, that's you and me when we're saved will never be moved. Do you know23:45 how easy it is to just your heart to be moved about stuff? That means scared, frightened and this is talking23:57 about emotions. If anything has been turned upside down in the last 2 years in our nation it's the emotional well-being of people. Now they're24:09 saying that the biggest problem in churches even in churches, is mental health. And as a pastor who's pastored 53 years, I can tell you I have never24:21 dealt with the upheaval people are feeling. The anxiety, the worry about what's coming. The nervousness that people24:32 cannot calm down. Stress, fear, that's not your promised land. The devil is sitting on your peace.24:44 Take a deep breath and go, ah. Somebody needs to calm down inwardly. Somebody24:56 needs to get a good night's sleep. Somebody needs to take their worries and hand them to God. Because the bible says and I'll read this to you from the book of first25:07 Peter, cast the whole of your care. If they put that verse up there for me, cast the whole of your care25:18 once and for all. That's how the Greek term is. Don't take it back upon him for he cares for you. Now I'm a fisherman and I love to cast to get a redfish on the25:30 line down in the marsh of Louisiana and cast over there and cast. But that cast is the word. It means to throw. Ek Balo. It means throw it to God. Throw him the25:42 baseball. Throw him the football and leave it in his hands. Do not demand the problem back. And we come to25:54 church and we cast it on the Lord but by the time we get home, we have already said, Lord, can I just borrow it for a few more minutes? Either he has26:06 it and you don't or you have it and he doesn't. Because he can't have your problem and God have it at the same time.26:18 That's what that verse is saying. Cast it. Today, at the end of this service, we are gonna take every worry, anxiety, anything that is stressing you out26:30 in a huge way, we are gonna cast it to the Lord and we're gonna let him have it. You know, I've I've I'm gonna finish the rest of this verse. It says his heart will never be26:42 moved. He's not afraid of bad news, bad news that comes over every news agency. His heart is firm trusting in the Lord. His26:54 heart is firm. God's gonna settle you. God's gonna establish you. God is gonna take that worry from me. You know, I had a pretty shocking27:05 piece of of development in my truck. I have a Ford f 1 50 20 14. It's worked great, everything about it. And I bring it to get the oil change and my Christian buddy27:17 that does all my mechanic work, he said, Larry, he said, 2 pistons are going out in your truck. And I thought, well, it is a Ford fixer repair daily. You know, I27:29 had heard that before. And then he said no, he said I mean I'm talking about it's not gonna go very much further. And he sent me to the dealership they confirmed it's 7500 dollars for27:41 a new engine. They told me that I said, your what hurts man? What are you what did you just say to me? 7500 dollars? So I say, can I get home? I get home, I tell Melanie about27:53 it and you know we prayed about it. We gave it over to the Lord, we didn't know what to do, that's a lot of money. And my wife looks up from our prayer and she says, I feel like you28:05 ought to call GEICO. I said, GEICO? They fix automobiles after accidents.28:17 They don't they don't deal with car engines. She said, know that. But the Lord just impressed me, why don't you call GEICO? So just to get rid of her asking me to28:29 do it, I called and get a lady on the line. She says, how many miles do you have? I said, 103000. She said, oh, I'm so sorry. She28:40 said, you had a major breakdown clause in your policy that went through 100000 miles. Ain't that the way it always works, you know.28:52 So she said, did we send you an email about that? I said, well, not that I remember but I get a lot of emails. She said, let me check. And I thought, she gets back on the phone said,29:04 we failed to send you that email and because of that we have to pay for the new engine. Come on somebody29:16 ought to say amen. And I may not sound like a big deal to you, but I dropped my phone and ran around my house like a Comanche Indian. I'm not kidding.29:28 And I picked the phone up and said, did you just say, cast your cares on the Lord? Cast your cares on the Lord. And now, okay, we've handled our first 429:40 things, our kids, our finances, our relationships, our emotional health but let's come to the most important 1 the last 1. He has29:52 distributed freely verse 9. Let's talk about this guy that's blessed. He has given to the poor, that's what we30:04 all would love to do. That's this man that's blessed, this woman. His righteousness endures forever, His horn is exalted in30:15 honor. Now I'm a stickler about the bible. I like to do cross references and I ran a cross reference on this and it's interesting because over in the New Testament, Paul quoted this very verse.30:27 This 1 right here verse 9. In the context of missions, an offering going to the poor saints in30:39 Jerusalem. He quoted that verse which you never would neglect to notice that an old testament obscure verse being quoted in the new testament it's30:51 it goes up about 10 times in importance. And what that's saying to me is that my mission is tied up in my blessing.31:04 If I'm walking in the blessing, I have a mission to accomplish, a purpose, a calling. It happened to me at 16,31:16 emptying a garbage can in the back of our church building, little church building my dad was pastor of. I opened the back door, I had the garbage can in my hand and something said to me inwardly, you know I've called31:28 you to preach, don't you? Just as clear out of nowhere. And I surrendered to that call, told my parents when I walked across the driveway home, daddy said31:40 why don't you preach this Sunday? I preached my only message the rich young ruler 10 minutes. I admit I was making some stuff up at the end of the31:52 message. That was 53 years ago. I preached at least 5000 times. All over the world,32:04 people have given their hearts to Christ. But I'm in my calling, you have your calling. It's every bit as critical. It might be a32:15 legacy calling financially that you want God to use you to bless the world, He will do it. He's not a respecter persons for David Green or anybody else.32:27 It might be that you want to be merciful to the poor. You want to help the homeless. You want to go to hospitals and visit people and love on them32:39 and pray for them, children's ward, all kinds of things. That's your calling, your purpose. It might be you like to lead, you would love to lead a small group and and just every week just kind32:51 of start a discussion, help people grow in Christ. I don't know. But what I know is Satan does not mind you getting the other 433:02 if you can just leave out number 5. Because you can have all the money in the world, all of your children be blessed, wonderful relationships, wonderful emotions, but if you stumble33:14 around like a blind dog in a meat house and never find your calling in life, you actually wasted the whole thing. You know, I pray33:26 that in this year in 20 23, you ask God to show you your place in his kingdom. He told Jeremiah, before I formed you in the womb, I knew33:37 you and I ordained you as a prophet to the nations. He knows us in the womb. He's called us. He's outfitted us for something. Surely, we can find33:49 it but Satan doesn't want you to know that. He's sitting on it. You tell him, get off my destiny. Get off my ministry. Get off my calling, my purpose.34:01 I'm gonna fulfill it for the Lord. So now we come back to our 2 men, Jonathan Edwards and Max Jukes. There's gonna34:13 be a lot of people come from you, most of us. The question is what water are they gonna be drinking from 5 generations from now?34:26 Is it gonna be that clear stream of pure love for Jesus Christ and they go off and fulfill amazing destiny around the world is that that polluted sin34:38 nature we were all born with. And without being born again, we carry it and pass it on to 1200 people after us. I want you to close your eyes with34:50 me just a moment and out of your heart I want you to see 1 of those rivers is coming. Is it clear? Is it clean? Have you received Christ35:02 Or is it dirty and polluted sinners since Satan really is is the master of all of the mess of your life? I'm gonna in a moment look around35:14 this room and our campus pastor up in Westminster is gonna do the same. And you might have come just for this short service, but you didn't35:25 know that God drew you here because he's got a purpose for you, a destiny, a calling, a blessing,35:38 and it starts today with you simply surrendering to that call. If you're here and if you died tonight in your35:49 sleep, God forbid, you didn't even have time to make any amends of your life, but you're sitting here now and you have that chance, you would say I need forgiveness.36:02 That's what I came for really. I need forgiveness and I want to go get in my car knowing that my past is completely forgiven and I've changed36:14 my future 5 generations out. If that's you sir, ma'am, young person, whoever you may be, God sees you here, He knows you're here, He loves you, He's not judging36:26 you, I'm not judging you, I'm of all people did not deserve to be called of God at 16. Messed up, totally messed up in my life. If that's36:38 you and you would say I surrender today to the Lord, and here's what I want you to do if you'd like to be included in a simple prayer right in your seat. Here's all I want you to do without36:50 hesitation if that's you, I want you to just slip up your hand and hold it up high and say include me in that prayer. Do it right now. Just shoot it straight up in your seat. Alright. There there. My goodness. Maybe37:01 25 people in 1 section. All across this room, people are raising their hands up in the bleachers. I see your hands. God bless you over there. God bless you all the way over there.37:13 Now you can take that hand and just put it over your heart if you don't mind because that's the fountain with which comes pure life or polluted life.37:26 And let's ask God to change it. How about it? Let's ask God to do a miracle down in your heart. Pray this out loud, and then I'm gonna pray over the whole group of us. Say, heavenly father,37:37 forgive me. Wash me in the blood of Jesus. Forgive my past. Take away the pain and the shame.37:51 Forgive me, Lord. I forgive others who have hurt me. Change my destiny, my family38:03 as I give you my life today. Now I'd like to ask if everyone would let me pray over you concerning these 5 areas. Would you just turn your hands over38:15 like a funnel? Everybody in this room, just put them out in front of you and kinda like I'm handing you a gift, but it's it's grace. And remember that grace is38:27 a gift, but faith takes the gift. I want you to take this morning, this blessing that I'm gonna pray over you. First of all, over your children. I pray the blessing over38:39 even prodigal children that they're praying for on Sunday night at 6 o'clock. I'm praying for your children to be saved and to serve God and to turn many to38:50 righteousness, thousands of people to be saved. Lord, let them be mighty in the earth.
