Sunday Service

Let's keep Jesus's hand and let's stand this. We pray one more time. Come on, stand to your feet. If you can stand, just raise your hand. I'll be over there to pray for you so you can't stand it, man. If you can stand, raise your hand. I'll come over and pray for you. So you can stand Hey man. Father, we thank you this morning. There were two or three of us are gathered in your name. You are there this morning. Even as we gather around your word, we know that there's not many things that you cannot do. One of those things is you cannot fail your, what? Heaven and Earth will pass away, but your word will enjoy your soul or even as we sit around you would let you would come alive in our hearts. That you would bring the necessary healing deliverance and breakthrough in inside and

influence in our lives. We give you praise and Advance Road and everybody said it, man. Why you go ahead be seated wave at somebody this morning. I'm so glad you. Yeah, this morning. Hey man.

All right, Sunday schools off.

For the media, people that we're going to be in Hebrews chapter 11 to start with.

And I know that jazz Suite, I all around the nation and all around the world as we get to the closer to Christmas day. A lot of people are teaching and preaching you know about the reason for the season and everybody has different ideas of what the reason for the season is event with my wife. And I we do our laps in a mall, that's very close to us, and it's amazing as, as I walk, and take note of the different people on different days, that just seems to be a flurry of activity, and busyness in buying and yellow lining up and just marvel at how people You know, you don't see them doing this throughout the year in such a passionate Frenzy. But seemingly around this time of the year. Just like we have a saying back home, people going bonkers.

But in spite of that, it's it's awesome to know that even khamis has to acknowledge that Jesus was born, there may be some discrepancies around what time of the year was. But the fact of the matter is they acknowledge that Jesus was born. Yes he came, they probably don't have as much of an idea about, you know, why he came, but they know he came and they are capitalizing on the opportunity to make lots of money. I want to read Hebrews chapter 11 and if it's okay, I'm going to read from the Amplified and

And then we can go. From there.

the Bible says, because for me, Christmas is about faith.

Amen. Christmas is about a lot of things, but Christmas is about faith. Because the coming of Jesus would require that mankind. Put their faith in this little baby. To wash these sins away to break the power of sin and death over their lies and to secure for them. And Eternity with the Christ. So to me, Christmas is about faith, but let's rivian rs1 says now, Faith is the Assurance, the confirmation that the title deed of the things, we hope for being the proof of the things. We do not see and the conviction of their reality train Percy being, as real fact, what is not revealed to the senses and I will just leave us to. And then we'll continue later on for by faith. Trust and holy ever, born of Faith, the men of old had Divine testimony born to them and obtained, a good report. Father, we thank you this morning for You would lest we forget. That at the return of Jesus. The question you posed will I find faith? Bless out timer on your wood today in Jesus name. Amen. It's easy doing the Christmas. Two to be celebrating the the Christmas Child. But not really celebrating celebrating the son of God. A man, and you can look a ride across the nation's there. Many people who are celebrating Christmas but not really celebrating. The Son of God, the savior of the world. Are those of us who are Faith understand this is, you know, we celebrate for a different reason. Faith is the Assurance. The confirmation, the title deed that strong language. But it's sad. How many of us we go through a whole year and I'll save seemingly becomes weak and we start to depend on our own intuition. We start to depend on our own achievements. We start to depend on our own

I guess calculations and we have no idea that we've crossed over out of faith into Canela tea. Depending on the flesh rather than on faith. And this morning, I feel like this is what the Lord put on my heart. Trust this morning and there's two stories y'all want to I want to share with you that. They're out of three out of the four gospels. Three of the gospels carry the story, all this account of a lady who had an issue of blood and wild tanning that are covering that account. It also covers the account of jairus's daughter in one sitting. There are two things that I happening and both those things reveal to us to different aspects of faith. And I want to remind you as you go into this festive season and into this Christmas season as they call it for me, I'm I'm Christmas everyday. if you know, my last name, Noel, So, I don't get a break for Christmas. I'm Christmas every day yesterday. Just the other day, I was in the morning and I was doing something and a guy looked at my name and it actually in the pharmacy. And he said to me, Father Christmas. I said, strange that you, who you would know that he's like, yeah, I am I on the naughty list or am I on the nice list? Man, these people and then nice and then naughty list, but I want to just highlight for us yet. Now Faith is the Assurance, right? It's an assurance that you should have a liking to the confirmation that you have this title Deed on this house. It is your house. It's like when you paid off your car you can say I have the deed for the car, I have the deed for the house. Fate should be that. It should be an assurance we have in our hard, right? Of the things we hopeful for being the proof of things, we do not see and the conviction of the reality I want to stop there. It's it's it's at that point. We need to really have this conviction even though we don't see we must have this conviction of this reality, because if we go all the way back to Genesis chapter one, we can see that the everything that there is

Started with nothing by somebody, who was not visible. So they never saw him and he took something that they couldn't see, but then, but then he made something that they can see, which is the universe, right? The Bible goes on you and it's talks about the worlds that he created all the cosmos, all the planets and an even with all our advancements, there is not a beginner telescope or not enough telescopes to be able to see all the planets and all the planetary are Cosmos that he's created. Out of nothing. If you don't get anything this morning, get this that I came in to remind you, that you are a person of faith and should continue to live in faith. And must continue to walk by faith. You must continue to uphold your face, you must guard your face, you must protect your faith because if there's one thing that the enemy of your soul goes after, it's not your house, it's not your car. It's not your stuff. It is your face just recently. After we had Apostle, David Duran. I was telling you a positive has several of us are within our, our faith community. And I'll Network came down with different kinds of sickness or Alma myself. I was down for, like, two Sundays. I didn't, you know, it. You know, it's your service which is kind of rough for me. I think, in the 27 years old was 28 years. I've never missed the service. Not even for a weather cap or a storm. I always make it to the house of God, even when I don't feel like it which is something, you know, approval is that most Americans have. But ask who were the leaders. We don't have that privilege. We have to show up. We'll have to be at Amen. And that's why we have to depend on you to be strong in faith so that you can pray for us. So that even when we are attacked in our bodies and in our help, we overcome because somebody's praying for us, I reminded the church when I got back up to two weeks, that's it man. Thank you for praying because I know it's your prayers. Go to encourage one another help each other understand that you have something special. You have a faith. You have this insurance, I give you praise with something. You have this conviction that if you pray for something, he hears you I need to use you, you just have to stop thanking him for the outcome. I'm in. So I've had so many things happen over my life. And while I was down, I got this fresh awareness that I need to come back to the place where I begin to walk in faith a game. Not that I had walked away from Faith, but that my faith needed to be ballstaedt. It needed to be restored to measures and new levels that it has never been. And we know how faith comes right. Faith comes by what year ring and hearing what the word of God. Now, if we continue on you, You going to see more by faith, which is trust, and holy, fervor, born, a fit, the men of old and davine had a Divine testimony born to them and obtain a good report. I want to remind you of the next couple of verses. Yet there is a list of people ready to testify from the word of God and we ought to just you know, every so now and then read these portions of scripture so these people can remind us from Days. Gone By that God has not failed. That he's still Seated on the right hand of the father, making intercession for us, and that he is our prayers. When we look at your bicep faith, we understand that, the worlds, everything that there is everything that there is created, when I understand these things are created out of nothing. and if you think you got a problem, so big

Everyone a problem, this morning that is so overwhelming you that you don't know where to turn to look at the scripture and if and if he was able to make something out of nothing, then whenever something is bothering you, he can do something about that. Something

Can you say men? Can you say reliving? Amen?

To my faith. We understand, is that the world during the success of Ages was framed fashion put in order and equipped for their intended purpose?

If there's anything you want to pray, pray, the word.

Pray, the word of God because God is bound to his word. Amen. Do we look at verse 3 that prompted, acti actuated by faith Abel, brought a better and more acceptable. Sacrifice then came Abel is just fine and this list Is a list of people that if you were asked to write the list, there's some people that you and I would leave off this list. Because there's a prostitute on this list. There's a Metro on this list.

Evil on this list.

Amen. Don't you know by faith? You can be on the list.

I'm on this list, and it's the reason I know that I cannot die now because my my mandate, my season is not over.

I'm still alive and so long as I'm still alive, I have to walk by faith. A man as I walk today, I'm walking by faith as I walk tomorrow, I must walk by faith as I walk. The next day, I must walk by faith. You cannot in and out. You have to be consistent in faith. People wonder why some people get answers to prayer and other folk don't. Opposes. Christian. Is it possible that some of us have walked away from faith? We don't have the kind of faith that we once had and so we we see all this getting onto his to the prayer and we get all kind of bent out of shape because we think God never heard us. The one thing that I know about God, God is a person of integrity and when we don't Move in faith because when I called verse 6s vs. 6s without trade, it is what impossible to what? Please got. So let me put it this way without faith. We displease God. How do we displease God when we don't operate on Waka live by faith? We are saying that we have a problem with God's integrity. Switch challenge in God's Integrity with with with, with the way we conduct our lives. But then we faced with a challenge or a difficulty, I need a call. I need a husband. I need a house, I need a job, leave God for these things. Moving in faith, we think God is a liar. We can trust these integrity.

What have to be consistent? in order for us to have consistent life experience in the kingdom of God,

it's like it's like, you know you live in this big house that has lots of wind And winter has come, and you can see the snow and you can, you you can acknowledge that winter is here.

But you're not really experiencing winter because you're sitting in a nice heated home. You'll have to get out of there. I'm into the elements to properly experience. Winter. The truth. I mean I thought it might, it might really appeal to you seen that way from Saskatchewan, wait, 5 minutes, weather will change. when you have, somebody that, you know, once you to go to the doctor and you go to the doctor and the doctor

Examines them in the doctor gets to a place where he's going to read. What the problem is. He writes a prescription MN Okay, everybody understands that and then you take that prescription. And if you can read the prescription, then it's probably not a very good doctor.

But you take the prescription to the pharmacy. Yes. Why? Because you have faith in the Integrity of the doctor, hey man, your faith in your trust is in the Integrity of this doctor who studied 7 years, who has 20 years experience in medical science. And at the head of the doctor and with this

You're off to the pharmacy. What the factor does not really exist until you take the medication and apply it, or consuming, it is the same with our kingdom life experience. Until we really are consuming this word.

You can say all you want to. I have faith in the in the author who wrote the prescription, that many people who say, I don't understand people when they leave the doctor's prescription a lot of them concrete until they don't understand what the doctor saying that. A lot of people don't understand this but you have to have faith in the author and that he's Integrity is intact is somebody you can go to the bank for when they say sun rise in the east and sets in the west and from the beginning of time that the sun has been doing that, surely the subject of your faith is worthy of your your wholehearted commitment.

What's so often? We come across challenges and we forget that we have access It says, verse 3 by faith, we understand that. The worlds everything Including the success of Ages with frame fashion, put in order and equipped for the intended purpose. By the word of God. Why the rim of God that were there in the King? James is the word Rhema. It's the same word. We find in Genesis and he said, let there be, he spoke the word and there was And today day is. Because of that word and we have to get to this place. Where we understand that we are under a prevailing word. That makes sense. Because if you don't understand that, God's thoughts towards you, God's words towards you are good. Not to destroy, but to give you a future and a hope. That's what he says about. You says, you are the apple of his eye and if he says that you have to That.

That.

Hey man. So often week we forget Versa and actuated by faith Abel.

Brought sorry I'm having a table, brought a better and more acceptable sacrifice than cane because of which get testified of him that he was a righteous that he was upright in right standing with God and God boy Witness by accepting and acknowledging his gifts. And though, he died, yet through the incident, he still speaks to us. Wow, Genesis chapter 4, he died. But he still speaking to us of the goodness of God demonstrate that we need in God.

1 guys. I hope you'll never see Christmas again in it in the light or a perhaps that's so many Secrets mistakes. But rather from your on NC Christmas as the beginning of Faith Christmas is about faith, the initiating of faith

You are safe. My faith.

stop so much older, 10 cylinder shiny and the gives the greatest gift was given and it's a great gift that we put out trust because he's good for it. And go to the bank with it. Let me go straight because of Freddy knock was caught up and transferred to heaven so that he did not have a glimpse of death, and he was not found because God had translated him. Even before he was taken to Heaven, he receive testimony still on record today. Genesis chapter 5 that he had pleased God. Seether. Would please you Bruce 5:49. What's it say without faith? It is impossible to what. Please God. So, you know, that the Saints of old had already been operating in faith. Because Faith pleases God.

Come on. Let's not, look at Christmas like everybody else. Let's look at Christmas Through The Eyes of people of faith. People who live inside people who walk in faith, people who speak in faith. The two stories that I'm making reference to the Olsen, Mark's gospel chapter 5, any Matthew and Luke. We see the account of jaira is having a problem. He has a daughter at home who's 12 years old and this daughter is near unto death.

Yes. And gyrus. Does what he can. He's the ruler of the synagogue, as a as a rule as a, as a man of faith. In the Jewish faith, it was not customary for one religious Rabbi to pull down in front of another Rabbi of which Jesus was called.

But he was willing to do, whatever it would take to get Jesus's attention. To come to his house.

He's willing to forgo.

Problems with the Sanhedrin and the Pharisees and describe. How can you do that? We don't bow before another. But you're bowing before this. Man of Galilee.

So, he's humbling himself and on the way Jesus is going with him to his house, to attend to his daughter, and a crowd is with them. And before they can get to the house, I'll be with a wooden tissue of Blood movie has the little girl.

I want to show you two concepts of Faith because they're those of us who feel that you have to have hands laid on you, which is definitely scriptural. But the other times you just go to act in faith. The Bible says of this lady that had an issue of blood in the Bible says she came from behind Cheese's.

And said, if I can only grab a whole to the Hem of His Garment. I know I'll be made whole. Now, if you do anything about this lady's situation, this issue, this lady's facing death inevitably with the loss of blood that she's going through her menstrual cycle, went beyond its normal. And if anybody had to recognize her as a woman, having an issue of blood they would have shouted, unclean, unclean unclean. Guess what? They would have done. It would have stolen the stoner to death. So she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Henrico. And Jarvis is doing what he needs to do to get to his miracle, for his daughter and bought these people are going to exercise a concept of faith that must be a part of our lions. It can only wait until somebody is your present standing in front of you, who is able to lay hands on you and release that kind of virtue that Jesus calls it. That healing power. Just a few moments it. Jesus who touched me? Disciples that say, how can you ask who touched the size of the crowd around you or touching you again? You don't understand that kind of touch is different to the touch. Is normally. Reserved for those who who are desperate. This lady was desperate, she knew that if somebody had a notice her with her issue, blood, they would have stone. So at the At the risk of being stoned. She came from behind.

And I tried to imagine what it would be like pressing through a crowd. Maybe maybe, I don't know, maybe she got on her knees and crawl through the crowd and came up intermittently to see. Just how much more she's going to crawl to get to Jesus. Pushing past people pushing past the crowd, pushing past Pride, pushing past what people going to think we can pause with what you up there for Pray Again.

You must be a very needy person, you go to push possible, those kind of thoughts.

So you can be healed so that you can be free so that you can be empowered. You can't let somebody else dictate your outcome. Seems you are the captain of your outcome. Can you say Amen, I'm the captain of My outcome.

Bible says that she she got up there and she grabbed a whole cheese is in the Hem of His Garment. Know if you know anything about the roles of the priests do the rabbis, then a lot of them had tassels at the end and those tests ofc serve to remind us of the fruit of the spirit. Yes, of the gifts of the Spirit. Yes. Cuz you know, they were bells and castles that, you know, identified with the promises of God. And when I see this lady story, I see it getting down and grabbing on the castles that were about the promises of God. And she pulls on the promise of God and if you get this morning and you think that you are being overwhelmed by the forces of Darkness that lady testified this morning, you know, she's being in a very, very difficult situation. I want you to know that the God we serve is a live today. I don't want to say more than he was ever alive, but it where Darkness seems to be darkest. The light of the Glorious gospel seems to be the brightest.

You can be here this morning. You can have a break through this morning. Your life can change today, can be the first day of the rest and the best of your life. You don't have to continue in cycles of defeat the cycles of dysfunction any longer.

Because almost two thousand years ago. A baby came. With hope for the Hopeless.

And that's what we're talkin about. You this morning, the, the faith That we need. it goes on you, it says The sick but without faith. It is impossible to please God. we displease God, when we when we don't walk in faith because we We inadvertently say we don't trust. He's integrity. We don't trust that he will honor his word, we don't trust, that God will come through for us.

We cannot continue to live like that because we're gods and Tegrity is challenged or where God's Integrity is the, the cause for people wanting to turn somewhere else, then the promises that he made to us of healing and blessing an abundant life and and break through it. All these things that are benefits of the believer, all those things laid dormant and in an experienced.

Are you with me this morning? And that's the difference. So many of us are not experiencing. I can give you the illustration of the wind chill out there. We're not experiencing God's blessing or God's favor as it was all God breakthroughs or God healings that cause we have challenged He's integrity. It's like saying God is a liar, but then next minute. Would you would you please come through and help me with my family? My kids are going crazy, you know, I don't know if I'm going to make it through this Christmas. Well, why would God want to Come through for you. When one minute, you calling him a liar. And the next minute supposedly, And I think that's where Santa Claus comes in. Amen. God is not Santa Claus. He's not Saint Nicholas. He's father. Can you say when he's a good father? He is unlike any other. Father is not an abusive father.

Without faith. It is impossible to please God. And be satisfactory to him. Who so ever, or whoever would come near to God must necessarily must necessarily believe that God exists and that he is a rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek him out.

This all kinds of people in this list year that is recorded for us and so many of us would have so much problem with some of these in the list.

but I want to encourage you, you prompted by faith Noah being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign.

From the beginning Genesis chapter 1 God on everything in faith. It was a faith action and someday is going to continue to be Faith. Action of the faith action. After production,

Habakkuk, we know, even though he slay me yet. Will I serve the three Hebrew boys?

Eminem God, don't come through for us. Will serve him.

Yukon starting faith and then end up in the flesh. We'll have to stay in shape. So when we look at Noah's account you There was no visible sign. And my fear is that in the, in the season, with living unit, in the climate, we living in, we are being forced to look for signs.

Remember when Jesus walked they wanted to sign. The only sign you're going to see is the sign of Jonah. three days in the belly, three days in the earth, and then the resurrection

We've been duped into believing that science validate you design. I'm the sign. When we walk in faith and see how God is coming through us, come through for us. That is assigned to people that there is a true God. Why not be that sign for my heart with everything else? We are a visible sign to let me just back up. It just be forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign. What do you know that if we were really walking in faith we would have seen covid coming. Is it not true? No, I'm with people of faith. I know you can believe that. Did you Keith and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared? A knack for the Deliverance of his own family. And by this, he's Freight Bye-bye. This, which is, which this Faith, which he relied on God, he passed judgment and sentence on the world and believe and became an A, and possessor of righteousness that relation of being right into, which God puts the person who has faith. God puts us in that right place when we have the kind of faith in his son, Jesus. Urged on by faith Abraham when he was called obeyed, Winfred to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance. And he went, although, he did not know trouble his mind about where he was to go there. Places that you and I have to go to but you only going to find them out when you stop stepping out in faith, I have no idea. Please call Saskatchewan Saskatoon, existed. But I have to learn about this place by stepping out in faith and believing that what I heard and even though I didn't visibly, see Saskatoon Saskatchewan. I had to trust God. That his word is he a an amen. But it was incomplete, even though I had trust in the author, the subject of my faith, I had the utmost Trust I had to put peep to my faith. Many people have a lot of trust than a lot of you, no knowledge been, but you have to have an activity. After you have an action yellow partner that marries that with action,

Prompted by faith. He drowned as a temporary resident in the land, which was decide, which was designated in the promise of God, though. He was like a Stranger in a Strange country living in tents. Isaac and Jacob follow is or fellow is with him of the same promise, but he was, he was waiting expectantly and confidently. Looking forward to the city which was fixed and firm foundation, whose architect and Booty's. Got I want to say to you this morning. Those, if you are believing God for something that that seems to be, you know, at the beginning of every year, people do this, they make these. These New Year's resolutions is nothing wrong about making New Year's resolution. I think it's wonderful. However Windows resolutions and realize at the end of the year, people can really get down on themselves. Because they gave up where they quit to all, you know, they want a strict diet or exercise program and they didn't see the goal that they had. I meant to remind you, God is Not governed by your small goals that you said, hold on. Your time is not like God's time. My time this time is not like God's time, but God's time says a day is as a thousand years. Come on, help me in the sight of the Lord. So official tells us So he was waiting expectantly. I want to encourage somebody at this morning. Continue to wait expectedly. God's not done. It's not over. Until God tells you it's over. Yes. So many times I could have given up. when I first gave me a 1996, this weather just was the

surely the devil brought me here to kill me. Finally. Yeah, I'll be having the Blues in the wine. He's in the mornings with my wife will be like, I think we we miss God. Yeah. We should go back to Africa and my wife will be like, did God say so. And I go back into my closet than just sleep in with me.

We can be moved emotionally by outward, physical things that are happening, consequences issues, like this lady, with issue of blood. You cannot allow out good things and you see, both with this lady, she needed to touch, they needed to be a physical connection for her to receive her break to. But unlike unlike gyrus gyrus from his mouth, he made a faith statement. He said to Jesus, would you come over to our house? Lay your hands on my daughter was near to death and I know she'll be healed. Pictures of not believing man who made a statement and didn't just leave it. There he started walking towards his house and that's when the interruption came and I'm yet to remind somebody. You may be on your way to your breakthrough and you may have had a little Interruption don't give up.

Don't give up. I can only imagine. This lady is taking all the time now, she's been healed. You didn't found out Jesus. It, 90 power, lift be going out of me. And the lady that I found out the Bible says he's

That was me. I've had this issue. Has, I've tried all the doctors know possible to get this Blood issue to stop. Instead it got worse.

So she's having a praise time. She's having a testimony time and Jarvis is why are you worrying the rapper, it's too late. Your daughter has passed. And I'm yet to tell somebody even when it looks like it's beat. Is not Debbie, God still in it.

He is no resurrection and our life. Jairus's. No doubt discharged. Perhaps a sense of hopelessness is sitting in my daughter's did because this lady took so much time testify. I need to run up to Jesus's, you know, he's part 22 to Healing my daughter. you know, those of you who are going to face these kind of things and perhaps this morning, they're those, if you are in this building who are experiencing interruptions, You know, that, you know, that you heard a word from the Lord. And for whatever reason, it just seems like that word keeps being ghetto. Assaulted keeps being delayed us but don't give up. It's not over until God says it's over. Jesus's words to gyrus, don't fear fear, not.

Jesus gets over to the house. Humana Co copies Maine. Intercessors. and says, Doubt and believe she get out.

You know, if you know anything about that, we're back in that day when when somebody died, the, the family hired morning and those mornings that were hired to cry and wail and weep and just have that pretty pot. It's not an atmosphere for miracles. Jesus does, he keeps it out? And sometimes that's what you going to have to do it. Every time, your mind is bombarded by thoughts of unbelief and fear and doubt, you're going to have to say, get couch. I resist you.

You believing for your family salvation, you believing for breakthroughs in your finances, you believing for your marriage, you believing for your children to come home. And you can hear you confronted by these thoughts of doubt, and unbelief, and fear. Tell those thoughts to go back to hell. That's what, that's what Jesus done. Jesus came into the first order of business. He says that she's not dead. She's sleeping. Guess what happens? They start to laugh at him. Scoffers Marcus, they were hired to do whale and weep and mourn but now they turn to be that the true colors are shown. You cannot, you cannot be kind and compassionate towards golfers and markers. You have to drive them out.

You have to first recognize them in Jesus recognized him right away gets out and when they left you know the rest of the story. Jesus.

Who is the resurrection and the life meets death of the 12 year old girl and guess who wins again? Death is put to flight.

And the life.

Comes back into a body. The first thing he says, give us something to eat, give her a cheeseburger.

Quarter Pounder, something. but being a teenager, they must have had a team bug up her

That's why I made this morning I may have to remind somebody don't give up. Don't fall into sleep. Don't fall into a loud cuz that's what the devil is doing. To the church globally that we we're in trouble. I see this people who once were passionate once we're riding the waves of God, now I just have resulted. Well it's inevitable, there's nothing we can do know. It's a whole lot. We can do. We can still stand in faith. God is not a man that he should lie. Neither is he the son of man that he should repent. If he says something, he will surely bring it to bust. These handles not too short that he cannot reach out and touch, neither is easier to heavy that he cannot hear your cry.

Christmas is about faith.

We call him the Christmas Child. I call him to the faith child. God, send somebody that we can put our faith in. And he's seated at the right hand of the father making intercession to every time we're standing in trade reminds the father listen for that person.

You know, you got this prostitute, you got Moses, the mudra, you go Jakob the liar, the deceiver. You got Sarah. The one, who in God's in it in God's?

That's why we should never give up on people. You'll be amazed when you get to heaven, the people who made the list. That grew up with you. That grew up with me. Went to school with me went to school with you lived in your neighborhood lived in my neighborhood. We thought would never make the list if you're going to be surprised when you find them on the list and I'm yet to remind you you on that list. Make good specialty of the Integrity of God.

They have sprung descendants, who's number's is as the stars of heaven and as countless as the numerable signs on the seashore for one, man, we're still the largest movement across the nations of the world, where over 1 billion, Christians are people who call themselves Christians and I know we have all these research is telling us.

That's acting fake today will one more week before that day, that everybody celebrates his Christmas Day. Let's try to do something in faith this week. Can you say, man, would you do something in faith this week? Would you go out and look for somebody to introduce to this faith that you have? Introduce them to the faith. Week. We have Hebrews 11. It is is God's Hall of faith of the heroes gone before. The many, many, many, many, many more. Need to be added to this. And it's not going to happen by osmosis. It's going to take people of Faith to bring people to Faith. Amen. Amen. Each one, reach one. Let this Christmas be about then that's why he came. Lots of times, we all about the baby in the manger scene. Don't get me started with that. In trouble. He's real so many times.

That I've been training, all these Bible colleges and universities, and when I look at some of the nice prim-and-proper but yours is a little bit rough. That's okay. But I've been in churches where they have this beautiful Oak shiny, crimson. Little baby Cheese's. Really. I'll leave a trip to Israel and waking your true sense of Patriotism and nationalism go to the kingdom of God. Let's pray.

And we give you praise in advance for it. We thank you for it in Jesus name. Amen. For you. Is your husband. Yeah, you want to get him. I don't pray for you guys. Somebody, can you still get him coming while it while he's going to get it out? I want you to know. God has not forgotten you, okay, race. You had this faith that you once had. Is going to be stood up, and you going to see the things that you used to see when you would speak things or you pray things, you should see them happen. Like exponentially, they're going to happen again.
