Okay.

This is going to be an Interactive.

I've been laid up for 2. I don't know. What do you win when you win on the black chair? I don't know whether you have invited someone around for dinner recently, but when you invite them around for dinner, you prepare anybody lives in our house. If we got people coming in between the brakes in my day, maybe, when I'm Maybe when I'm working, I'll take a break and I'll put something on the table. Making my cup of coffee. So, by the time we get to the middle of the afternoon to tell you was already light, I'm preparing the table from in the morning, not to tease cooks for, she cooks. I stay in the house and by the way,

She might have prepared a week before cuz she's done to thinking about what I'm going to buy, what I'm going to cook. Sometimes you might be prepared in advance. And what I want to do today is I want to bring to life one verse in Psalm 23, we already read it. So I'm 23 by spice is this, you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows.

So there's no food tasted like pop, maybe some grapes but there's a table. And I'm going to I'm going to leave this out as a prophetic acts today at any point during the sermon. If you want to come and sit in this chair, please feel free to do so. Just come instead. I'm not going to just come and sit. Cuz what I want to First decide that's, that's really going to gross for this. Is a table for pay someone's fools. It's not just all come and eat. There's a preparation is going on. Don't say such a place for you.

It's a place for you at my table. Now, my table is not, it doesn't you make something extra in special with the king and the Queen and everybody, and everything was gold at the same way. We've been here a month We just come here. We go through a cycle. This is getting together. Things were actually able to rehearse this morning. There's a lot of preparation. Everybody who has helped in any way in any service. Since we go ahead with his loading, cars with his putting out, chairs with his worship, team, with his ministry, team, would you stand right now? If you, if you help, would you stand?

Do I need to stop using something children?

Father, thank you for these people who prepare a table. Look up a table, where we meet with you father, I pray that you help us load to to to do it back to her. Father, we pray that this place will be filled one day and that would be a banqueting table for also father, I pray for those who blessed us with this service in this first month and we press it and some more and we look forward to plugging other people as we all your church in your kingdom, in this place today. In Jesus name, give yourself a round of applause. Thank you. Thank you Church. There are still things we need to improve. Yeah, they don't think about the first 30 days. The first hundred days. There are things we still need to improve. I already know some things I want to improve from this week to last week, but you know what? When the table is light and is ready for the mail, I myself, I went through this and fight. Does anybody want to volunteer? Has anybody want to come in like the candles? Anybody could we fly hours coming coming to light the candles for me my friend, please don't set fire to the table. And I haven't checked whether this will set the smoke alarms off. I haven't check that. But that's open up the light the candles. Until people are coming to you. I did have laid the table to in the afternoon, but I wouldn't light the candles at 2:00 in the afternoon cuz what would have happened by the time they get together? Probably a burnt-out. Thank you, my friend. So, the table is light. In scripture says you prepare, who's you in this circumstance? What's the scripture saying you who, who is you prepare us? Are we preparing the table. Who proposed the table below provides? The type of this seat is for the Lord. He wants to have a meal with you. It is a very intimate table is only to this is not. You can cycle in the back and just sit in the back and watch this is an intimate time now. Where is he stable? Prepared is table is prepared in the presence of all enemies enemies but think about people, maybe you don't like we'd I'd like to spend time with Spend he prepares a table now. I don't want it sitting around the table in front of people. I don't like,

But he prepares a table in the presence of our enemies. He wants a comment despite all the other troubles that you have all the other troubles that it going on common with me. No, I don't know how good you are at focusing. Do you know what? There are people who you know, you'll come and sit him and you'll be thinking what am I having for lunch or who am I seeing lights on or you'll be thinking all those kinds of things? and if it was sitting genuinely in the presence of our enemies,

No, jump on the back. In Song of Solomon chapter 2 verse 4. It says they should be song. This is of course he brought me to his banqueting table. Chinese Banner Over Me Is Love. The backdrop here is love. This is a table of love. This is a place where he wants to talk with us and meet with us. No, I'd like you to. I don't know. Whether you've ever been to a restaurant? What do you mean to restaurant recently? Buy a book, the table ahead and you go in and you stand and you wait for the maitre d' to come inside. Yes. Send you some more. I put the table and then he will walk you through the restaurant. She will walk you through the restaurant and take you to your table. Or it's it's 10 times the size of right in the middle of the hole is just this time. There are no other tables. There is no other like that before you. I thought you were meant to be sitting somewhere else in this is for you. Please come and sit because this is an intimate moment.

What does a bond that conversation with 10 of us or Twenty of us a hundred of us? He wants to come with you. That's why he brings you to his banqueting table.

That's why the table of luxury. It's a table of abundance cuz he's a god of abundance. It's a table of more than enough. How do you spell laid? To provide for you to feed you and I'm not just talking about physical beating it. I'm talking about feeding about spirits of All Souls. You only can be full and yeah I can be empty. Do you know that feeling? I can be eaten all that I need to eat. My tummy is full but I feel completely empty. I'm not all the times when we can. If you have a frosted you might know these feeling you feel full but your tummy is completely empty.

And I was going to say in the 6 or some 23 let me read to you from the message version. Now, Psalm 23 verses 5 and 6, you serve me a six-course dinner, right? In front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head. My cop brims with blessing. Your beauty and love Chase off to me everyday of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.

My cup overflows. I did think about illustration this today I did think about literally filling a company that he overflow on the floor and I just thought I was still building relationship with the college but the image, if I fill this cup. Now that's a polite bricks. When you feel a cop-out, you feel it, too with an Angel. So over-the-top, you leave some space other people when they carried them spill things.

Scripture says, I'm going to fill to overflowing to the brim. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of. That which I would bring. Does anybody want to come and sit at this table? Anybody want to come and say go in Irish? You first, you lead the way, my friend, you are a bold man of God. Just sit and linger for a while and Philippian 4 verse 19 says, he's and my God, shall supply. All your needs. According to his riches in Jesus, in his riches. In Glory by Christ Jesus, my God, shall supply, all your needs. What does Joe wants? We often cite the god. You happen to have my prayer. You haven't provided my my once the things that I would like a God says, I will supply. All your needs evidence like this with me.

One of the things that will happen. When you sit at the table, like this is, you will be drooling. So the table, He wants it back. I can see our she's already sitting forward on this chat. He's leading into the table. If the father and I don't pretend to be the father but I want to Persona 5 speed if the father sits opposite you the table and suddenly we're eye to eye suddenly we're looking at one another suddenly we're intimate.

Young Irish Irish, he's not looking at my feet. He's looking at my face. The father wants you to look at him. He wants you to realize that when he hasn't answered your prayer, there are tears in his eyes not because she hasn't answered your prayer for because he sees your need. This banqueting table is full, full full of love.

Amen.

It's a table that being said before, you feel free to go. Whenever you want to hurt, you don't have to stay, you linger, as long as you want, but other people, please come and sit at the table. Bring John chapter 9, John chapter 10, verses 9 and 10 inches. I am the door. If anyone enters me, he will be safe to go out and find pasta. The thief comes only to steal kill and destroy. I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly.

This is a sign. A symbol a story of abundance, don't provide more than enough. He still houses in heaven, are not limited. He is not constrained by who he is, he's only constrained by who we think he is.

In the story, in Luke chapter 14, there's a couple of things that I would like to court you, Luke 14 verse 1. Now it happened as they went into the house at one of the pharmacies to eat bread on the Sabbath, but they watched Jesus closely. And then he came to say, but when you were invited, Kevin sit down at the lowest place. So there when he who invited you come see my sight, you friend, then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. That is no other place of this table, talking about a banqueting. One place for you. One place for you to share one place for you to engage

Know what would happen at the end of the meal at the table. You've now Ethan and you've had your fill what would happen at the end of the Moon.

Would you just get up and go? You finished your main course, will you finish? Your dessert will have six courses, as as we got from the message version at 6. Is that probably be some poses between eau de Mayo. Hopefully.

Yes, we talk. Hopefully, it'll be a very good meal, and I think sometimes we come to the table with God and we sit opposite him and we sit in silence.

I don't think we should be a chatterbox. Because I should be talking and listening.

But they should be conversation.

How many years ago? For Tears ago, I went to youth group and

I want to be one of the young ladies in this group, who died was a wing commander in the area. so he's off to know why but when he was ever at home, he and his wife used to have date night, Friday night with date night, the two daughters have to go upstairs and they had snacks and stuff, but it with date night downstairs and it was always a type of light like this And it was a whiz with candle, and it was always one to one.

I think I will come by. Since I haven't found that kind of tell you what he said about you being intentional in relationship, when was the last time you sat down with goes in this level of intimacy to said, Lord, I want to chat with you

Some of, you know who I had my wisdom today as the roads were closed and I was thinking, this is going to be a disaster, but having the service and police to close the rights and everything. How do we get to church? And went up to the policeman then I thought I'd try and lay down my cars until I used to be one of the police chaplains didn't have any power with him. It's always said I'm a police officer. How long does it cost for 9:30 to 11:30?

We just had a chat and I said, could you have a chat with your sergeant please and just see whether we could have been Bryson play the head and you will go have some house or something happened?

But you know what? One of those things when I was police chaplain was, I didn't know how to stop the conversation. My job was to busy every police station in sorry. so, I sent to the former Players Championship, what you do,

My recommendation to you is that you linger with purpose and loiter with intent.

Duncan work out how to do this. I'm not very good at those kind of things. So I just used to buy a box of donuts.

All I was doing, was just trying to create something like this. Well I was trying to do. So let's have a child and sometimes let the images come and eat with me. It's coming to linguine, come and spend time with me. We live in a world where we rushed table time.

I think about it, I'm not going to anybody else. But how many times do sit around the table together to eat?

I'm pleased If he if you live in your own lane to places like two places and sit with the father and I become a session with the father and the Antichrist is going to see is you so you don't need to worry about anybody getting I need to worry about that.

Uncle friend to lay an extra spice that table every meal. Jesus. But if somebody at the house, like, in heaven, So they were already expecting some of the time. How many chairs should we put out in the sun. Yet? We should always put at least 10 more than we had last week. Always ten more than we had last week when this whole is full and will move to a bigger home. He brought me to his banqueting table and His Banner Over Me Is Love.

Let me close things together cuz I want to read from the Amplified version till I put a x. The last two slides, you prepare a table before me? In the present.

Of my enemies as peace around these type.

That's the Law around these table. Come and sit and eat and drink with him. Because you do, you anoint my head with oil.

My cop runs over and what comes from this table. We then read on inverse 6, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me. All the days of my life. And I will dwell. I will stay. I will remain. I will linger in the house of the Lord forever starts at the table. Come and eat with him.

I'm absolutely sure. And if you ever came and sat at this table, you would not sit back like this.

Is it that someone sitting in this chair? And I'm talking to them. I'm not talking to anybody else. I'm only talking to them at doesn't matter about the other people around the enemies. The trouble destroy, I'm looking at them.

Because this is an intimate place to get to know the father by son and he wants to get to know you better.

He booked me to his banqueting table. Andy's Banner Over You. He's love.

I'm going to encourage you throughout the rest of the service. I'm going to leave the candles lit if during wish, if you just want to come and sit at all. Either one of these Chase. Please feel free to do so. I think that's a prophetic apps that I'm encouraging you here. Do you know if you can watch the table from afar or you can come but a linga in his presence. I'm going to ask the worship team to come back out. I'm going to price, they come.

Bella Heights is a prize, they come

free song. I'm coming back to the Heart of Worship. Worship happens around the table. What happens by looking into the eyes of the Fallen looking into his Hall, knowing his love for us. Let's get our eyes off his feet and why he's being enough to lift our eyes. As it says in Psalm 22 eyes to the hills from whence cometh. My help lift up and look into his face.

I want us to know and understand them. We see a reflection of ourselves. We look into the eyes of God. Symptoms of ourselves in the struggles. We go through as we linger in this present time. We let go around the table. Falafel. Provision book, the father was tomorrow. Kids might be shy.

Jesus, Tony.
