It says in this chapter that
our Lord, without a parable spake he not unto them. When he spake, he spake in parables,
stories, earthly stories that tell us heavenly truths. And
that's all I want to do tonight is relate or narrate four stories
here in these chapters. of things our Lord did on this
earth that illustrate His saving work, the Lord from heaven. That's
all I want to do. These stories tell us and reveal
to us who He is and what He did and why He came. And the title,
the text, the whole subject is Our Great Lord and Savior. And these stories tell us very
clearly that He is Lord. not a figurehead, actually Lord
over all, sovereign ruler, creator, controller over all things, good,
bad, everything, all things. Savior. He's the only Lord and
He's the only Savior. He's the giver of life and He's
the Savior from death. He's the only one. These stories
tell us very clearly that He's Lord over the elements, He's
Lord over devils, principalities, and power. He's Lord over diseases. He's Lord over death. He's the
Savior from storms, from troubles, from trials. He's the one that
sends them and the Savior from them. He's the Savior from Satan,
the God of this world who holds men captive. He's the Savior
from sin. He's the Savior from death. He's the Lord. He's the Savior. He is everyone's Lord. Men talk
about making Him Lord. No, no. God made Him Lord before
the world began. He always has been Lord, always
will be Lord. He is everyone's Lord right now,
whether they know it or not. Salvation is to know Him as your
Lord and bow to Him, fear Him, believe Him. And He's the Savior. He's the Savior of all men and
women, the giver of life, and He maintains that life. He's
the Savior of all men and women. If they still live, He's the
God in whose hands their breath is, and all their ways. He saves. He's the Savior, okay? Mark chapter
4, look with me here, beginning with verse 35. Same day, when the evening was
come, He said unto His disciples, let us pass over unto the other
side. To His disciples, they were always
with Him. The Lord Jesus Christ came preaching the kingdom of
heaven, didn't He? He came preaching the kingdom
of heaven. He said, My kingdom is not of this world. And He
came to call His people out of this world. He said that we,
His people, are not of this world, even as He is not of this world.
And He's telling them, and He's telling us, and reminding us
always, we're passing over. We're not staying here. This
is, we have here no continuing city. This is not just a passing
comment, oh, let's start, let's go over to the other side. No,
he's tell, everything he said has eternal significance, doesn't
it? Eternal wisdom, spiritual wisdom. We're passing over. As in Hebrews
11, all the children of Israel went through the Red Sea, as
do all of God's people, this world. And the Lord saves us
from drowning in it. He tells them we're passing over
to His disciple. Now all the disciples of Christ
are strangers and pilgrims. We're passing through. Do you
understand that? You understand? All right. Look
at verse 35. So they took him as it was, as
he was in, in the ship and there were other ships with him. Other little, little ship. They
entered into a ship. Now go back to Psalm 107, which
I told you to, to Mark. Psalm 107. Do you know what the
difference between a boat and a ship is? There's a difference. A boat, Brother Craig was going
to bring his boat and put it in one of Johnny's ponds today
for me to fish out of. Why didn't you? I forgot. But
anyway, a boat is merely a pleasure craft. A boat is usually for
pleasure, recreation, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Telling you
the truth here. A ship is only deemed a ship
when it's seaworthy, when it goes into deep seas. Look at Psalm 107 with me, verse
23. They that go down to the sea
in ships, they do business in deep waters, great water. These see the works of the Lord
in the deep. The Lord causes all His people
to go through deep waters, and He puts us in this fellowship,
the fellowship of His suffering. And we all go through the same
troubles and trials, the same afflictions accomplished in all
the brethren throughout the world, Peter said. And we're all in
this ship, this ark, which is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. What determines if the people
in a ship get to the other side? ship all their life. Their safety, their salvation
is in the ship. My dad was in the Navy. He spent three months at a time
out on the water. That ship was their life. They
ate, they drank, they slept, they talked about the ship, they
ministered or served the ship, and it was their life. And if
they made it home, it was because of the ship and a good captain.
So our Lord had them get in this ship. Jesus Christ is our captain,
captain of our salvation. Look at verse, go back to our
text, Mark chapter four. Mark chapter 4. So they were in this ship, and
verse 38 and verse 37, there arose a great storm of wind.
The waves beat into the ship so that it was now full. Who
raised this storm? We just read it in Psalm 107.
He did. He did. He raised this storm. This stormy
winds and these waves, and there's a Psalm that David said, all
thy waves and billows go over me. And all of God's people go
through stormy sea, go through trouble, deep waters, deep trials. How do you know if you have faith?
How do you know if you have God-given faith? It must be trial. And
it's not in a little boat in a farm pond on calm water. Deep
waters, these sea, the works of the Lord. So he sent these
trials, he sent this storm. The Lord did that. He always
does that, everything. There is no comfort otherwise,
is there? He's Lord over everything, all the troubles we go through.
Aren't you glad? Aren't you glad? I don't know
how people can get through some of the things they get through
if they don't believe that God sent them. God's not a bystander
in the affairs of man. He's the cause of all things.
He's Lord. He's Lord over all. The Lord
Jesus Christ did that. He's Lord over everything. Well,
verse 37 said, there arose a great storm and the boat was now full.
The ship was now full. It's now full. You know, when
the Lord comes to save someone, the first thing he's going to
show them is, and everyone in Christ is going to find out we're
full of sin. and it threatens to drown us.
It threatens to take us down, right? David wrote in Psalm 38, my loins
are filled with a loathsome disease. You know anything about that?
Oh, you're blessed if you do. And then all of God's people
in Christ, they know that we're born of woman and the seed of
Adam. So we're full of trouble. full
of sin, and because of that sin and sin all around us, got troubles. Man is born of woman a few days
and full of trouble, trouble. When the Lord reveals Himself
to someone, when the Lord saves someone, their troubles are not
over. Their troubles with God are over, but their troubles
in this world have just begun, just begun. It's not what religion
said, it's opposite. If you have no troubles in this
world, everything's just fine. You'd like to hear just fine. God's people go through trouble,
deep water, deep trouble. Where was he? He was in the ship. Look at it, verse 38. He was
in the hinder part of the ship. He was in the back of the ship.
He was there. Over in Isaiah 63, 9, it says,
in all their afflictions, he was afflicted, and the angel
of his presence saved him. All the troubles that God's people
go through, he went through, even deeper than that. He came
to be made sin. He came to take all of our sin
trouble in his body on the tree, didn't he? He went through a
trouble that we'll never go through. The wrath of God fell on him.
All their afflictions, he was afflicted. He was there. Where
was he? Where was the Lord in the ship? The hinder part. Is
that significant? Where are the captain's quarters
in a ship? always in the back of the ship. Where's the rudder
on a ship? It's in the back of the ship.
Who's got his hand on the rudder? The captain. There he is. He's with him. What's he doing?
Sleeping. That's not a good captain. Oh,
yes, it is. He's the author and finisher
of the faith. He came, I love, something that gives us great
comfort, is that our Lord lived by faith as a man. He had to
live by faith as a man, to just to live by faith. In order to
be justified himself, be pleasing to God, he had to live by faith. He had to depend on God for everything.
So he fully trusted the Father to protect him and them and bring
them to their desired haven. So he goes into the back of the
ship and goes to sleep, rests. That's faith, isn't it? David
says that in the Psalm so many times. He said, thou only makest
me to dwell in safety, so I'm gonna go to sleep. As should
we. Well, the disciples were torn
to pieces, weren't they? Torn to pieces. They got up and
said, they woke him up and said in verse 38, Master, carest thou
not that we parry? Don't you care? Has anybody ever
said that or thought that about the Lord? Why am I going through
this? Doesn't he care? The reason you're
going through those troubles is because he cares. You know
that? If he didn't put you through
troubles, if he didn't chasten you, he doesn't care about you.
And you know what? If he didn't put you through
troubles, you wouldn't call on him. You wouldn't call on him. When do we call on the Lord?
When do we really call and cry unto the Lord? When we get in
trouble. Did you notice Psalm 107? Four
times it says, they got in trouble, then they called on the Lord.
What'd they do? They delivered out of all their distress. Troubles
are a good thing. They're not pleasant. Chastening's
not pleasant, but it's a good thing. The Lord sends it so that
we might call on Him. So we might depend on Him. Show
that He's our salvation. We get our wits end. Only when
we come to our wits end will we really trust the Lord to save
us. He put them all through this,
and he's asleep. That's, Gabe, that's amazing,
isn't it? This is he that keepeth Israel,
that never slumbers or sleeps. Explain that. You can't. He's a man, but he's God. He's
Lord. He's Savior. He's Lord over the
elements. He's Lord over the world. He's
Lord over all trouble. Sin is our biggest trouble. Why
does the Lord allow his people to fall into sin? David. Hmm. Why did he allow
that? Aren't you glad Psalm 51's in
Scripture? Aren't you glad? Hmm. Show His great mercy. Show His
salvation. Mark chapter 5. Mark chapter
5. Then they came over under the
other side of the sea, the country of the Gadarene. When he was
come out of the ship, immediately, there met him out of the tombs,
a man with an unclean spirit. He's dwelling among the tombs,
dead thing. And no, no man could bind him,
not even with chains. He came into this place and there
was a man who was possessed by devil, unclean spirit, and no
one could tame him. Now listen, demon possession
is not as Hollywood depicts it. Granted that people that do horrific,
terrible things, that is demon possession, but demon possession
can be, you can be sitting in a church pew. Demon possession
can be a man standing up to preach the false gospel. demon possession. Satan is the master of wiles
and tricks and schemes and pits and traps, and he's a master
manipulator, and he knows human nature. And the scripture says
that all men and women are under his captivity unless Jesus Christ
takes that captivity captive. If we are not under the dominion
of and the power of His Holy Spirit, we're under an evil spirit. So what does that do? It makes
you dwell among the tombs. It makes you love dead things.
This world is a dead and dying place. The things of man, the
things of this world are dead and dying. And if you're not
in Christ who is life, you're dead and trespassing, and you're
under the captivity and the dominion of the God of this world. And
he takes these dead things and captivates people with them.
But only when Jesus Christ comes and takes captivity. It's not
our choice, it's His. It's not our power, it's His.
He's Lord over devils, and He's the Savior from them. The Savior
from them. So this man, look at verse five,
it says nobody could tame him, no self-help group, not even
religion could tame him. He was always night and day in
the mountains, tomb, crying and cutting himself with stone. He's
trying to destroy himself. Is he aware of the fact that
he's trying to destroy himself? Is he? Probably not. Those under the dominion of the
God of this world are not aware of it. They think they're free.
I remember in the 60s and the 70s thinking I was free. All
of my friends, we were free. And I tried to destroy myself.
Not literally, not physically, but we have, you know someone, we
certainly know someone, a young lady, the daughter of a couple
in our church that we just grieve over. She doesn't realize she's
trying to destroy herself. loved ones, we have a dear loved
one who's just a wild man. And you know, there's different
degrees of this captivity. You know, you hear of awful things
happening. It's only the restraining grace
of God that doesn't make those things happen all the time, doesn't
allow those things to happen. Only the restraining of grace
of God that you're not a devil, you're set. He takes captivity
captive. He came to take this man captive. He was captive of the devil,
to loose him from this bondage. Look at verse 8, how did this
man come, how did this man, how was he released from the devil?
Verse 8, Christ said unto him, come out. How does the Lord Jesus Christ
cast out devils? You know, he cast out devils
more than any other miracle. More than any other miracle.
Why is that? Because of what I just told you. Because men
and women are captive to the God of this world. and all need
this release. Well, he decides. It's his decision. And I'm glad, you know, people
think, well, if he's only elected, he's going to be saved, and why
preach? Because he told us to. Because
this is how he releases those prisoners, those captives. The
Lord tells us to go out and say, loose him and let him go. Thus
saith the Lord, let my people go. It's preaching the gospel. What the world calls foolishness
is the power of God. How do I know? How do I know? Because the Lord sent a man to
preach the gospel. And Lord loose me. And loose me. What happened? Says the devils
came out of it. Came out of it. He didn't ask,
did he? He gave the command. Aren't you glad salvation's by
command? Our hope with that young lady I was telling you about
is that the Lord will one day give the command. I've tried. Her parents have tried. We've
all tried to reason with her. She was born in that church,
and I've preached message after message. I can't do it. I can't
tame her. I tell you who can. And so we
call upon him alone who can. He's Lord over devil, and he's
the Savior from them. He's the only one. So we call
on Him, Lord would you speak to her? If you speak to her,
she's coming. She's coming out. You know when the Lord says live,
you'll live, not until then. The Lord says come, you'll come,
but not until then. The Lord says come out, you'll
come out from among them. The devils will come out of you,
and you'll come out from among devils. How do you know what
happened to this man? Look at verse 15. So they came
to Jesus, the town, and they saw him that was possessed with
the devil and had the legion sitting, where is he sitting? At the feet of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Listen to our Lord pray. You couldn't find him sitting
there before that? That's the last place he wanted
to be. He is now. Sitting, clothed. What does that
mean? He was naked before, wasn't he?
Now he's got a clothing. Now he's got a covering. Where'd
he get this covering? Who gave him these clothes? Where'd
he get them, Marvin? The Lord clothed him with his
righteousness, didn't he? He clothed him. He's in his right
mind. If you don't know Christ, you're
out of your mind. The world is of the world, therefore
speak the other world. What is the world? Perishing
place. Oh, in Christ will not perish. Eternal life in Christ. He had the mind of Christ. His
mind, he's had his mind renewed. A new mind, a new heart, a new
life. And they were afraid. My dad
told a story one time of a man in a church in Ashland there,
the Lord saved him, and he was quite a rounder before that.
And he worked at the steel mill. And the Lord saved him through
the preaching of the gospel. And he went back to the steel
mill, and the men noticed a change in him. And there will be a change. He called from death to life,
from darkness to light. There's an obvious change. Well,
anyway, this man started witnessing, started talking to these other
men about his Lord and Savior, the one who saved him. And they
said about him, they said, we liked you better before you were
saved. How do you know the Lord did
something? Well, he's sitting at the feet of the Lord Jesus
Christ, calmly, quietly, worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ. He's clothed
in his righteousness. He has his right mind, his mind,
his affection is set on things above. And verse 18 says, when
they, when he was coming to the ship, our Lord got back in the
ship and the man possessed with the devil said, can I go too?
I want to go with you. That's how you know. That's how
you know. When the Lord brings the devils
out of you, and you're out from among devils, you know who you
want to be with. You want to be with the Lord
and with his people from then on. Don't lie, I don't want to
go back there. I don't want to go back to the tunnels. I want
to be in that ship with you and your disciples. But the Lord
said, no, you go, and this is witnessing. You go home and tell
what great things the Lord had done for you. How do you know
the Lord saved this man? He was redeemed of the Lord and
he said so. Then how do you know when the
Lord saved somebody? They'll give him all the glory.
They'll say the Lord saved, right? You hear people all the time,
well, maybe I've told you this, maybe not. There was a man, Gabe
had a music store for a long time in Rocky Mountain. There
was a man we all liked. It was a student of Gabe's and
a customer. We liked him, still like him.
And Mindy met him years later somewhere, and he came up to
her and said, I got saved the other day. And Mindy wisely said, I'm sorry
to hear that. And it shocked him. What do you
mean you're sorry? I got saved. She said, if the
Lord had saved you, you would have said that. The Lord saved
me. Is that splitting hairs? Hmm. Is that making him someone an
offender for a word? No. If, if I was drowning, dying,
going down and Tommy Parker went out there and saved me and he
died doing it. Would I come back and say, Hey,
I got saved. Hey, everybody. I got. I'd be
singing his praises. I'd be telling everybody about
Tommy Parker. He laid down his life for me. The reason I'm standing here
today is because Tommy Parker saved me. The reason I'm standing
here today is because the Lord Jesus Christ saved me. The reason
you're sitting here, if you love this gospel, if you're in the
ship Christ Jesus, if you've been saved, the Lord did it,
and you'll tell people that, won't you? You'll give him all
the glory. go home and tell what things
the Lord had done for them, and had compassion. Well, look at this. They went
over, passed over again, verse 21, by ship, came to the other
side, and much people were gathered there, and behold, verse 22,
there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name,
and when he saw him, he fell at his feet. Now the fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. You'll notice in all
these stories, everybody was falling at the feet of the Lord
Jesus Christ. You won't bow to a mere man. You'll only bow to a sovereign. Every knee will bow. These devils
had to bow before him. Every knee will bow, and every
tongue will confess that what? He's Lord. He's Lord. And so this man obviously had
heard of the Lord Jesus. And by the way, the fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Men didn't fear Jesus back then.
Nobody feared him. And they don't fear him today.
And that's why they call him Jesus. It's the fear of the Lord
is the beginning of it. When you find out who he is,
like Simon Peter, when he was in Peter's boat and filled those
nets with fish, Peter hit his knees and he said, Lord, Lord. Thomas, he hit his knee, my Lord. That's who he is. That's who
he is, first and foremost. He was Lord before he became
Jesus. He became Jesus, Savior. And that means what it means,
Savior, not a tempter, atonement, not a trier, but a finisher,
the Lord and Savior. Well, this man came, he heard
of the Lord Jesus Christ, so he hit his knee, fell at his
feet, and verse 23, he besought him greatly. Say, my little daughter
lieth at the point of death. I pray thee, come and lay thy
hands on her that she may be healed and she shall live. If
you don't, she won't live. If you do, she will. My daughter
is at the point of death, my little daughter. Now, if you know the Lord, You
know the truth, you know that you were once dead in trespassing
and sin, and you're now alive one reason, because the Lord
Jesus Christ spoke to you and gave you life, like Lazarus.
You know, you only know you're alive when you were dead. You
only know you're blind if you see. Did I say that right? You only know you're dead. If you feel dead, it means you're
alive. If you think you're blind, you
really see, right, Jeff? If you say, I'm deaf, no, you've
heard it for the first time. Dead people don't know they're
dead. Lost people don't know they're lost. I don't need saving,
right? I don't need Christ. Yes, they
do, too. They just don't know it. And you realize you were dead
in trespassing and sin, and you know your children, your wife,
if she doesn't know the Lord, your sons, your daughters, your
grandchildren, they're all dead in trespassing and sin, and their
only hope is if the Lord Jesus Christ will lay hold of them
and speak to them. There is no other help. There
is no other hope. There's no other Savior. She's at the point of death. I've watched some young people
die in our country. That's the toughest funeral I've
ever preached is children of believers. Young people die. I carried my best friend and
my neighbor out of a room. They were dead. I carried their
dead bodies out in my arms, 15 years old. Young people die too. We're at the point of death.
Dying, you shall die. This is a life and death matter,
isn't it, Marvin? It really is. One of the preachers said, I
preach as one that may never preach again. As a dying man
to dying men and dying young people. This is serious. There's one hope. This gospel's
only hope is if Christ will speak to them. So we beg him like this
man, we beg the Lord, would you please, I can't, I can't do anything,
she's dying. I'm here to tell you, I'm here
to tell you that he raises dead people. Well, he got lost in the crowd. He got lost in the crowd. Someone
else was seeking the Lord. Look at it. Now in verse 24,
much people thronged him, and a certain woman had an issue
of blood twelve years. Jairus thought he got lost in
the crowd. Jairus came to our Lord. He heard
of him, and he came to Christ. You know what Christ said? He
that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. It's not possible
for the Lord to forget you. If you came to Him, it's because
the Father drew you. And though it may seem like He's
forgotten you, and you were lost in the crowd, and, oh, I'm not
important. He didn't hear my prayer. Oh,
yes, He did, too. Oh, yes, He did. The eyes of
the Lord are over the righteous. His ears are open unto their
cry. And this man came crying unto the Lord. He has not forgotten
the Lord. There's just somebody else that
needs Him more right now, an old woman. So he's at the point
of death. Let me ask you something. You
have a burden for your lost loved ones, your children, your spouse,
or whoever like that. Could you rejoice if the Lord
saved someone else's children or spouse rather than your own? Could you? Could you rejoice
if the Lord didn't save your children, but He saved someone
else's children? They're just as distraught. They're
just as hopeful about their children as you are. Could you rejoice?
He doesn't have to save. He saves whom He will. He's sovereign
over salvation, right? Could you? I mean this when I say this.
The Lord saved some of our people, their children. I could not have
been happier. And then when the Lord saved
him? Well, he thought he got lost
in the crowd. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. Lord, he can't
forget about his own. You forget about him, he won't
forget about you. Look at verse 25. A certain woman
came, verse 26, she had an issue of blood and suffered many things
and many positions. You've heard this many times.
The gay preached it, John's preached it, Marvin's preached it, everybody
preached it. This is the issue. Isn't it? The issues in our blood, what
is it in our blood that's killing us? Sin. We're born in sin. In sin did my mother conceive
me. We're born in sin. This is the
issue. Our Lord came to save sinners. He's the only Savior
of sinners. And it says in verse 26, he suffered
many things of many physicians. And I'm quite sure I know this
church came out of false religion, didn't it? Johnny, this place,
Southern Baptist, and that's false religion. And the Lord
brought you out of there. That's demon possession. Yes,
it is. disguised immorality, disguised
in the name of God. It is a demon position. And these
physicians of no value is what they are. These doctors and so
forth, these preachers of no value, they make you worse. Only make you worse. Verse 27,
she heard of Jesus. She heard. What's her hope? What's our hope? To hear the
gospel. hearing ears of the Lord, seeing
eye. She came, where'd she come? Christ, came to cry in the press. What'd she do? She said, if I
could just touch the hem of his garment. Why the hem of his garment? Why does it say the hem of his
garment? The high priest in the Old Testament
wore a garment, and on that garment was a hem. In our Lord's providence,
in the English language, he called that border on the bottom of
the high priest's robe a hem. I like that, don't you? A hem. And the high priest, there were
bells and pomegranates on the bottom, fruit, and ringing the
bell, and that high priest would go in, the holy of holies, and
offer one sacrifice for sin. And the people's hope that God
had accepted the sacrifice, that God had forgiven their sin, that
the blood was on the mercy seat, and God accepted it on their
behalf, was they could hear that bell ringing. Those bells on
his garment. That this man bore fruit unto
the Lord, the fruit of this sacrifice, and he's coming out. And they're all accepted because
of that sacrifice he made. This woman, this is not by accident,
this is the Lord's sovereign providence. He said, you go lay
hold of him, the hem of his garment, the robe of his righteousness.
Your salvation depended on him going in the holy of holy and
making that sacrifice on the mercy seat for you. You lay hold
of him. Get down now, get down low. And she came crawling. And she laid hold of his hem. And our Lord said, his virtue
went out of him. And who touched my clothes? Is
that significant? And he looked round about, verse
32, to see her. This big crowd, this big multitude,
who was he looking at? One person. One person. He came for this one person.
How about you? How about you? Well, verse 34. He said unto her daughter of
thy faith that's made thee whole go in peace and while he spoke
verse 35 the ruler of the synagogue gyrus they came to him said your
daughter's dead He's dead she's dead No, no point now in troubling
the master As soon as our Lord heard that word He said be not
afraid only bless And so verse 38, he cometh to the house of
the ruler. Don't you want the Lord to visit
your house? David said, although my house
be not so with God, yet he made with me an everlasting covenant
ordering all things. We've come into this house and
gathered in his name. The Lord has visited this house.
The reason he comes into these houses, these houses of worship,
his house, where he's caused to put his name there, is to
save dead sinners. That's why he comes. That's what
he's still doing. That's why he came to this man's
house. That's why he's come to this house where two or three
are gathered. He's come to save dead sinners. That's why he came
into this world. He came into the house. Verse 41, He took the damsel
by the hand and said unto her, Talitha Kuma, which is being
interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. When are we going
to rise and go to the Savior? When are we gonna be raised to
walk in newness of life, raised from the dead? When are we gonna
be brought out of death into life and out of darkness into
life? When? When the Lord gives the word. When are our daughters,
when are our granddaughter, when are our loved ones that we, when
the Lord gives the word? And this is how he does it. You
bring them, you bring yourself. to this house, where there's
a faithful man preaching the gospel. Don't stay away. Don't forsake the assembly of
yourselves, as a matter of some of you. Bring them. This is only
hope for dead sinners. And I'm telling you, and there's
so many in here, can attest to this fact. He actually speaks
and raises you. How do you know she was raised?
She's eating. What's she eating? What'd you
eat tonight? This man, the word of God, Christ,
the bread of life, Christ, his body and his blood, except you
eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life, you have no
part in it. Well, she's sitting up eating,
listening to the Lord Jesus Christ. She was dead. Now she's right
with the rest of her life. Oh, may the Lord do that. One
more time, that's your prayer. All right, stand with me, I'm
gonna dismiss this in prayer. Our Heavenly Father, we are so
thankful, we're so glad. Lord and magnify and glorify
and praise your holy name that thou art Lord over all. Thou
art God and beside thee there's none else. Thou art our God and
we didn't know it until you told us. And so thankful you've told
us who you are. And we're so thankful, your Lord,
over everything, troubles, trials, sin, demons, devils, death, your
Lord. And you're the Savior, the only
Savior. And so we call upon you. Save
us. Save us and our children. Save
us. Save our houses. Save us from this untoward generation. Save us from drowning in this
world. For the Egyptian to say to do,
but they drown. Save us, O Lord. Let us pass
through, go to the other side. Let us be with you in the ship. Give us life, O Lord. Bless the
man who preaches from this bullpen, Brother John. Bless these men
that are coming tomorrow and the next day. Bless them. Bless
us, O Lord, with your great salvation. In the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, our Lord and Savior, we ask these things. Amen. You're
dismissed.
