Sermon – “Who’s Your Hero?”

“And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.

I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; 7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.’

“With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding. 14 If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release. 15 If He withholds the waters, they dry up; If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth. 16 With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His. 17 He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges. 18 He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt. 19 He leads princes[a] away plundered, And overthrows the mighty. 20 He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders. 21 He pours contempt on princes, And disarms the mighty. 22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light. 23 He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them. 24 He takes away the understanding[b] of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness. 25 They grope in the dark without light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

“O LORD God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You?

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. 22 He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all. 12 Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all. 13 “Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name.

I want God to come alive for you. I want the Word of God to come alive for you. And I want you to have such a fervor for God that you want to live every day. And the excitement of the Lord. OK So let’s look at our or scripture this morning and it’s a very short one. This one. There’s a lot of them so don’t get your hopes up some thirty nine seven in the King James says. And now Lord. What weight I for my hope is in the. And as I looked at some other translations. I found a translation it’s in the Aramaic Bible in plain English and I found this interesting but it says it quite plainly. There for what is my hope. If not you alone Lord Jehovah. So where is our hope. Who is your super hero. As I was thinking about this. I don’t know walleye in the world the Holy Spirit gave me the thought of superheroes but they were bouncing around in my head I was thinking Spider-Man and Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman and you know all these superheroes and what they meant to us and what they mean to us what we get out of them. So who likes to read who likes to read a good book. All right now this is an interactive churches morning. I want to know why you read a book. Why do you read a good book. Yet. You know what is going on your life right then a lot of them something you learned. Then I believe God anybody else read good books share what you what HE Why do you read a book. OK well freeze is value read Why do you read what do you like edible you like excitement you. Like a story it takes somewhere like the I want to put it down. OK OK Well why do you read history. Like story. Why do you read to escape. That’s why there’s many reasons why they’re more the story. I read for many the same reasons you all do. I love to read. I like to be entertained. I like to be taught. I like to have something speak to me. I like to learn. I like to be taken away there are days I just want to read a book with a lot of fruit when it that I don’t have to think much you know I just sometimes at this. Need I need a little bit of fruit just to take me out of the stress but often times I like to read inspired books and I’ve tried very hard. God has really been speaking to me in the last couple years that I’ve not read anything that’s not Christian. And I’ve been trying and I have honored him in that and there are some authors out there that aren’t Christian that I really enjoy they have a good mystery but I’m not picking them up because I’m trying to honor God in that and that’s just between me and God I’m not saying anybody else has to do that but one of the things that’s been running through my brain this last several months in the last couple weeks of particular in my lady’s Bible study I’ve mentioned several times that I’m doing another lady’s Bible study and it’s been a ten week course and Paul and I know we did X. Patti was here and it took us like a year and a half to get through and I have to tell you the ten weeks that I’ve just gone through I learned more about Paul than I did in the year and a half that we did the Bible study here and it’s nothing against what we did here. It’s just it was presented in a different way it was in a more concise personal way. And I learned so much about Paul and one thing that I really took from this is Poles for. How did Paul serve so long. He served Jesus from the time. Hey serve God from the time he was a child. OK. He was brought up in the synagogue and he knew who God was he just had a completely different idea what God wanted than what God truly wanted. But when he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. He was changed forever and Paul was a young man when he met Jesus on the road. Damascus. When the scales were put on his eyes and he was blinded and when Jesus when Jesus sent him off and he gave him his sight that Paul. Learned who Jesus was he spent every day of the rest of his life learning. Who Jesus was worshipping the living Christ. Abiding with Jesus. He was as we’ve said so often a bondservant to Christ and what is a bondservant but somebody who is for ever serving this person they are never free. They are always a servant if you are a bondservant Paul said over and over. I am a bond servant for Christ and yet he kept his fervor even though he was a servant but he was a servant to Christ. How did he do that. How did he do it because Jesus was Paul’s super hero. Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit was all the superhero Paul needed and I was thinking this morning. Laying in bed and I’m thinking you know what. How else would they have all these people that came up with all these superheroes got the ideas to do some of the things that these super heroes could do if they didn’t get it from the Bible because where else would it have come from. You know what really God has done so many miracles that has to be where they got the idea. I don’t really know but it just makes sense to me. So who’s your super hero. You know Paul was so on fire for God and yet he was so abused. You know he says he was shipwrecked so many times he was beaten and left for dead. He was imprisoned so many times he was whipped so many times I mean the man suffered he did not have an easy life. He went from being probably a rich spoiled kid when he was young because his parents could afford to send him to synagogue he went off to truce a limb to learn. The average people didn’t get to do that. So he went from that lifestyle to where he had probably a wonderful home and a wonderful bed and and to a I ten or an evangelist that had no home. He never knew where he was going to lay his head he often slept where it was cold or where it was hot. Sometimes he had food and sometimes he did not. Sometimes he was clothed and sometimes he wasn’t You’ve got to remember when you’re in a Roman prison cell. They want to make you miserable and they want to humiliate you think about this. How else do you humiliate someone to embarrass someone but to strip them naked. Paul was all by then he was in the sixty’s or seventy’s probably by this time when he was in these Roman prisons and he was probably he was chained and he was probably naked. Maybe he might have had an undergarment but it probably wasn’t much their intent was to humiliate him. To make him humble to embarrass him and to embarrass him to the point that he didn’t want anybody else to see him. But Paul was never alone. Do you know that he was never alone. Often times he had others around him. But in these final years when he was in the prison cell. Luke was with him. Luke was with him throughout. Many probably left him because of fear of Nero which was why Paul was killed. Paul was decapitated. They think by the sword because of Nero crucifying the Romans are not crucifying but killing off the Romans. So Paul was not always in a confortable situation but he was never alone because Jesus Christ was always with him and he tells you that throughout Scripture. Jesus was with me. The Lord was with me. Do you think he meant that in a sense that oh I just know God’s with me. You know we say that all the Lord be with you. All with the Lord was with me. I believe the Lord was with him. Many times he gave me he was in such a situation that he was becoming downtrodden his spirit would start to come down and he said Jesus was with me and he sustained me. Do you think that Jesus did not come to him and speak to him and we and we have a couple people here that maybe know what it’s like to speak to God or to have God speak to them. It’s a pretty good experience isn’t it. How can you have God speak to you when you not feel that you not live and have that for God because you know he’s real. So as we go through and we think about reading and we think about superheroes I want you to keep this in the back of your mind. Because I want you to remember who are super super hero is and I’m going to tell you exactly why. When we were little we kind of imitated our superheroes or our heroes didn’t way. You boys and girls boys you probably played cowboys and Indians maybe you watch Zorro on T.V. or the Lone Ranger or in our kids they had like Batman and I guess we had about me and when we were younger. He’s messing with me or him but you know we tend to when we’re young we tend to want to imitate those that we see. Correct. We want to tend imitate those that we think are wonderful and as we get a little bit older. We know that well. We can’t really imitate anybody because we are who we are and we have no super powers and well that’s life. But we do have a superpower and his name is Jesus Christ. But as far as much as we have that super power. There is another out there that’s trying to tell you that you don’t need that super power. That you can be whatever you want to be that you can be great and you can be gone and you can do magic and you can do this and you can do that and I’m going to tell you that that superpower has a name and he is our enemy and his name is Satan. And he will come to you telling you you can do magic and you can do spells and you can do this and you can cast the potion and and you can speak can be whatever you want to be but I’m here to tell you that’s a lie. The devil. The only thing we can do we do through Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit of the Lord God Almighty Amen. There’s nothing that we can do without him. Yes we can call on a mountain and ask it to be moved. But we have to do it in the power in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We can ask a body to be healed but we only do it through the power in the blood of Jesus Christ our Savior. We can ask that the blind see and the deaf hear and we can ask that the lame walk but we can only do it in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of his blood and there is no other that we should depend on. And you know what if you want excitement. I want you to pick up this book. Now. Not that one this way. They handle the Bible because if you want to read and get away. If you want some excitement if you want to superhero. If you want to exciting stories. This is loaded with them. Do you want miracles do you want to be sitting on the edge of your seat. This is full of it. If you don’t read well and you don’t like to read get a D.V.D. Get a book to get the Bible one tape. Get someone to read it for you or to read it to you because this word can come alive. If you want to. Amen. The Bible says the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delighted in his well. So what is a good man. If a good man steps are all ordered by the Lord in our steps are ordered by the Lord Amen. And the Bible says the steps of a good man ordered by the Lord. It doesn’t say a righteous man or a holy man it says a good man. So what is a good man. What makes a good man. X. eleven twenty four says. Barnabas was a good man full of the Holy Spirit and of face. Are you full of the Holy Spirit in a face. If you are you are a good man or good woman or good child a son or daughter a boy or girl. Are your steps ordered by faith. Are you full with the Holy Spirit. That’s a good man. Even a good man can act on his own because he needs the Holy Spirit and he needs God. We can’t do it alone. Our steps are ordered by God but only by God we are not him. We are not God just because we have freedom of choice. And we can do what we choose to do and we can think what we choose to think and we can read what we choose to read. It doesn’t mean that you are God does it. You know. Don’t ever think that something you have done has caused some great phenomenon because you in yourself can’t cause any great phenomenon. You can’t. We are not that powerful in and of ourselves we can pray for people and may and if you are not praying in the name of Jesus and in the power of God You are not going to say your prayers answer it. If you are not praying for the right reasons. You are not to see your prayers answered. They have to be prayed for the right reasons to God by the Blood of Jesus by the power of God In Jesus’ name amen. We are not powerful enough to think that all why I said this this is going to happen. You’re not that powerful I’m sorry. All are good for such and such the world’s going to come to an end. You’re not that pair for I’m sorry. Such and such got into office this week it’s the talk. OK we’ve got we’re going to have a new president and always the world going to fall apart or is America going to be great again. I don’t know but I’m here to tell you this. Donald Trump is not that powerful that he can change the world. Hey can only he can be used by God to do that. Is he going to be we hope so. We pray that he is and we need to pray for him and we need to pray for whatever cabinet he puts in place. But Guard has the power to raise kids and to topple Kings to raise Nations and to topple Nations. It doesn’t matter how we vote or who we put into office. If it’s not God’s will. Hey Can taking now. And if we put somebody in there. He doesn’t want he can put someone else in. Where not powerful it’s God and it’s God alone. I say a forty five five to seven says this on I am the Lord and there is no other there is no god. Besides me I will gird you though you have not known me that they may know that from the rising of the sun to its setting there is none. Besides me I am the Lord and there is no other I form the light and create the darkness I make peace and create calamity are the LORD do all these things who creates peace and calamity. The Lord does do we do it. Not unless he an ordained. Job twelve thirteen to twenty. Says with him. Our wisdom and strength he has counsel and understanding if he breaks a thing down. It cannot be rebuilt. If he imprisons a man there can be no release. If he we thought withholds the waters they dry up. If he sends them out they overwhelm the earth with him. Our Strength and prudence the deceive us in the deceiver or his he leaves councillors away plundered and makes foals of the judges he looses the bonds of kings and bonds their waist with a belt. He leads princes princes away plundered and overthrows the mighty he deprives the trusts ones of speech and takes away the discernment of the hours he pours contempt on Princes and disarms the mighty hand covers of the things out of darkness and brings the shadows of death to light. He makes nations Great into stories them. He brings the shadow of death to light. He makes nations. I said that he makes nations Great into stories and he a large nations and guides them. He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth and makes them wonder in a path and a pathless wilderness they grope in the dark without light and he makes them stagger like a drunken man. So people want our power for they were not as powerful as we want to think we are. God control control the world. He created it. He set this world into existence and he holds it together. He gives us free will to choose what we want him to be who we want. But no matter what we do know how matter how big or important person you think you are or we think we might be. God is in control. He has control over each one of us he can lift up and he can bring down Second Chronicles twenty six says this own Lord God of our fathers are you not God in heaven and do you not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations and in your hands. Is there not power and might so that no one is able to withstand you praise God he is in control. Always has been and always will be we not may not completely understand how everything works out how everything’s going to work out. We’ve been in Daniel and look at the prophecies and work out what the what does this mean what does that mean. And we’ve said the bottom line is it doesn’t really matter whether we understand it or not God has hill work it out the way he has it planned to work out whether our minds comprehend the exact. Whatsit or not. Isaiah fifty five eight through eleven pages. Everything’s really in disorder for my thoughts are not your thoughts. Nor are your ways my ways says the Lord for us the heavens are higher than the Earth. So are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts in your thoughts for as the rain comes down in the snow from heaven and do not return air but water the earth and make it bring forth the bud and it may give seed to the server and bread to the eater. So shall my word be that goes forth for my mouth. It shall not return to me what void. That’s right. BUT IT shop will accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the things for which I sent it that’s the word of God. That’s our superhero. Praise God he’s in control. Whatever happens. God is and always will be the one who holds the worth together the earth together. He’s the one that said it spinning and he’s the one that will keep it spinning. No matter how bad a choice we make. Or how good a choice we make. No matter if we say may do something it is completely out of God’s will. You know what he’s going to fix it. He’s going to make his play and come together. He might let us suffer for a while he might let us Waller in. Our stupidity. And our ignorance. They may let us be chastised for a bit. Amen. What parent does not chastise their child or teach them right from wrong or we always have to punish when there’s been a bad deed done correct. You don’t let a kid get away with something they shouldn’t have done. Because and they’ll think well that’s OK I can do it again. God will always chastise those he loves just as a parent chastises their children. Daniel two twenty one three twenty two says this and he changes the times in the seasons he removes kings and raises them up. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding he reveals deep in secret things he knows what is in the darkness and light dwells in him. Have you ever prayed for wisdom and knowledge. Did you know that in order to gain wisdom you have to have knowledge. And the only way you’re going to get knowledge is to work for it if you don’t study God’s word. If you don’t study what you need to know for whatever. If you’re we’re talking about engineers this morning. So that’s on the top of my head. If you want to be a civil engineer or mechanical engineer you need to study. Don’t you to gain that knowledge. If you want to be a doctor or nurse you need to study to gain that knowledge if you want to be a bookkeeper an accountant you need to study to gain that knowledge. It’s the same thing with the Bible. If you want wisdom and knowledge. You’ve got to pick this up. You’ve got to dust it off open it up if you know if you’re like me and you need to put on the specs now you know as we get older you put a mournin you read. And you’re going to gain knowledge and through that knowledge. God will grant you wisdom. Amen. So God is my super hero and as I was reading a lot about Paul in the past ten weeks. You know it was kind amazing to me and I’m going to get a little personal here when I got done my study this is our last week. This was our tenth week in study and when Wednesday when Ronnie we talked and I told him to go to the services you know we would take care of the service here and I knew I had to prepare something I had to hurry up and get my five days of lessons done I every day in these users like an error now in half or so what were the lessons. So at that sat down and did five days into this week which is no big deal. I do it often because I knew I needed to prepare something for here. And as I finished my last day. And I read about Paul about how he spent his last days. And how. No matter what he did. No matter what kind of situation he was in Paul had an excitement for God. He had an excitement for Jesus. He never lost that for never. He may have had times where his spirit got down. Where he got a little bit afraid and he says that God was always with him. God did so many things through. Paul that it was no wonder he did not lose his. And I have to wonder if we had the fervor that Paul had if we did the sayings that Paul did. If we. And I’m not saying we have to be beaten the older you might. I’m not saying you have to go to prison for Jesus. But it could come to that. But what I’m saying is. Are you so. Concerned about your fellow brother or sister. That you were willing to die for them that you’re willing to give up your freedom for them. Paul did all that. That’s how he lived his life. It didn’t matter what would be fall him and he knew some of the things that were going to be fall him. He was prophesied over and told don’t go there. This is what’s going to happen you’re going to be imprisoned. Issuers this belt is put around your waist you’re going to have chains there and he did he knew and yet he went because he knew it was God’s calling for him to do that. And as I read the life of Barnabas Paul and barn thinking about Paul and Barnabas when they were in prison. And how guards sent an earthquake to shake the chains off. So that they could be free but they didn’t go anywhere. They stayed so that they could minister to the the prison guards and they went into the prisoners the guards home. And minister to the entire family and then were brought back to prison. When was the last time God caused an earthquake move for you or maybe I should say when is the last time you did something earth shaking for God. Maybe that’s why I sent an earthquake. Because Paul was doing earth shaking more. Later we read about Paul being released from prison by an angel who let him out who’s changed just fell away and let him out to door and he thought he was dream and until he got out on the street near angels. There’s no here you are and he’s like Oh I’m free. He thought he was dreaming. He had an angel set him free without excite you. There with me. And Acts fourteen talks about where Paul was stoned and the city and drug outside of the city gates and left in the heat for dead and he lay there until. His disciples came and gathered around him and his fellow believers in prayed for him. They said he was left for dead it didn’t say he was dead. Personally I think he probably was I could be wrong but I think he was probably dead and he was pray for in the power of God raise this man up whether he is dead or he when he had taken a severe beating enough that they thought he should have been dead. Could you have gotten up and walked away from that walk to the next city. Not without God But Paul been. He was well enough to get up and walk to me that’s pretty miraculous. Paul was shipwrecked on an island called Malta and. He got on the island and the people were were very kind to them they said showed him exceedingly caught great kindness and you know I guess it was not a good normal thing for islanders to do but they were very kind to them and as they were grilling a fire call in the other shipwreck people were gathering the firewood is Paul a stick in the wood on the fire. There’s a poisonous snake that’s the judge Digitas How do you say that we’re digit how you say it did in this indigenous that’s it. Indigenous to that region that when it was still it got stiff like a stick. And it looks like a stick. So Paul picked it up it was a stick and threw it in the foreign it latched old I mean he’s got a serpent hanging from his hand and the Islanders thought all this man must be a murderer and he’s he’s escaped justice and and so this is sorely God’s trying to kill him. And the funny then there’s some Bible rest. Their versions of the Bible that will have justice as a capital J Because they believe that those islanders knew that there was a god and justice was part of him. So they use that capital J. because they felt that God was this was part of God So even though they had not been of Angela. They knew something about God but they’d. Didn’t quite get the whole picture. And so when the snake was there and Paul shook it off and he they had their think and. They’re waiting for him to get sick or to die. And he didn’t so hours went by and they thought oh surely he must be a god because he didn’t die. And Paul says no I’m I am but a man and he told him who the true God was and he went throughout all the island. And healed. Every person that was brought to him that was sick or lame or diseased. Every single one that was brought to him was healed. Every one. The word in Greek for Judge is the cast. Meaning judge and it comes from the root word of do a law on the story not do. But it means judge. And that is the word that is were used in the Bible for justice that the cast. It’s pretty neat but Paul became very personal to me and as I got done reading all about his life and the things that he did I sat there when the sword finally came down upon him and I well. Have you ever read wept over a book. How many and we’ve all read a book that maybe we’ve brought us to tears anybody but me I see some yes and some days I have. I’m not ashamed to say it. But I have to tell you this is the first time I sat and read the Bible and I wept. I wept over Paul and over his life and I hate had such compassion and such fervor for the Lord. And I noticed today I just wanted to instill some of that fervor in you if I could that I want you to leave here with some of the for the Paul had I want God to be your superhero as he was Paul’s. And I’m going to tell you a few of the things that make God. One of the super Here are some of the miracles that we can find if we want to pick up this book and find some miracles if we want to pick this up and get some excitement. If we want to pick this up and find some true miraculous things that have gone the one in Exodus God created the world and everything in it. Or in Genesis God created the world everything in Exodus he part of the sea and made it into dry ground. In numbers. He made man and quail fall from the skies to feed us people and he makes a donkey to talk say he’s even got a sense of humor. And Deuteronomy he writes with stone tablets with his fingers and Joshua he brings down the wall around the city with a shout and marching. And standing away a corpse a young boy to slay a giant named kings. God sends from heaven far from heaven to burn up a soaking wet altar. And Kings to a larger was taken to have a in heaven on a whirlwind. But he said. Chariot and horses made a fire in this whirlwind to take a logic to heaven. That’s the stuff stories are made of. And Joshua God calls a sun to stand still for an entire days the sun never stood still for you. I got to tell you it did for Ronnie and I one day I’m serious. Time stood still. We were on our way I would had to have a surgery in Pittsburgh and it was I think it was March and it had been a big snow on the ground. You have to go up through Somerset mad area and as we’re up on that mountain the fault was so deep from the time we left Cumberland. We probably crept it ten or fifteen miles an hour for over an hour maybe more. There was no way we should have gotten to Pittsburgh hospital when we did. There was no way but we pulled into the parking lot. It was if that two and a half hour trip was two and a half hours instead of three and a half hours. Time. Literally stood still. That God. Amen. It is equal God makes drybones stand up and live and become a mighty army. Is that not exciting is that exciting enough for you to get your attention to make you want to read. And Daniel God six three men in a fiery furnace and then he shuts the mounds of lions the keep Daniel from being eaten by them. And a dude New Testament Jesus walks on water. Jesus feeds five thousand people with five loaves and two fish Well actually it’s five thousand plus because that done count women and children and their loaves of bread weren’t this big they were like this. Maybe smaller. In the New Testament the Holy Spirit sweeps fillip from one place to another instantly. That superhero stuff. Jesus spoke and a storm was calm and the ocean was still. Paul and Barnabas are freed from prison by an earthquake. Paul was set free from prison by an Angel Jesus returns to life after his crucified and buried. Jesus was raised. Lazarus from the dead after he was in the grave three days and probably was beginning to think I’m wrong but. John is given the Book of Revelation by a dream. Those are just a few of the things of the mighty things that God has done. Those are just a few of the things that are so exciting that we should be on the edge of our seat when we read His words there is a few of the things that should make you. Excited for God excited for Jesus. So if you haven’t read the spiral lately pick it up read it get that for let us have the fervor of Paul Someone was telling me yesterday that there was a man that he kept stuff in his car he kept cds in and books and this and that and everywhere he went. If somebody was out of gas. He’d stop and he’d give them gas he’d go get them. Yes and he’d come back and he’d hand them a D.V.D. or CD or something with Christian music on it or hate hand him a book or he’d pick up somebody whose car was break and broken down and he’d take them to the garage and hate hand them a book and has he was fixin or putting gas in the car. Hey tell him who Jesus was. As he was toying with the car or whatever he tell him who Jesus was if he picks somebody up and gave him a ride. He’d tell them who Jesus was you know we don’t have to be out in a church we don’t have to have a mighty audience. We can save people. One person at a time we can tell them who Jesus is. But you have to have that you have to have that love of God in who Jesus is to do that. Have that for her have that for her. I pray that you do first Chronicles twenty nine eleven through thirteen says this yours O. Lord is the greatness the power in the glory the victory in the majesty for all that is heaven and earth is yours yours is the king the Lord and you are exalted as head over all both riches and honor come from you your reign over all your hand is power and might your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all now. Now therefore God we thank you. And we praise your holy and glorious name Amen amen. So as you go out today I pray that you take the for the fervor of God with you and I pray that you keep it with you and I pray that if you want some excitement that you pick up his word and let that for every increase within you. Amen amen.
