Sound from his people again,
Gladly for us we adore him. Go back to Revelation 1. You may or may not know this,
but you are greatly blessed to be here today. We've been reading God's Word.
It's a blessing just to read God's Word. I've been preaching,
teaching God's Word, and it's an even greater blessing to hear
it. And if you believe it, you receive it, you've been born
of God. You have the power, you have
the right, the privilege, to be a son of God. Have blessed. Have blessed. Blessing of all
blessings is what we're doing right now. Verse 3, our Lord says, Blessed
is he that readeth. Blessed are they that hear the
words of this prophecy. And blessed are they that keep
those things that are written therein. For the time is at hand.
Just to read God's Word is a blessing. Most people do not. To hear it? Oh, how blessed. David said,
Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound. The Gospel. And again, David said, Blessed
is the man whom thou choosest and causest to approach unto
thee, that he may dwell in thy courts, and we will be satisfied
with thy goodness and thy house and thy holy temple. The title,
the subject, is a blessed people, a blessed book, and a blessed
Savior, a blessed Lord. Verse 1, the revelation of Jesus
Christ, which God gave to him to show unto his servants. Salvation
is to know God. Salvation is to know Jesus Christ.
That's what Christ said. John 17, 3, this is life eternal,
He said, that they might know Thee, the only true God. Most
people think they know God, but He's not the God of the Bible.
God their imagination, God the way they think He is. This is
life eternal that they might know Thee, the only true God
who is God, not trying to be God. You don't let God be God. If anybody thinks that, they
don't know God. God said, You have I chosen,
Isaiah 43, to His people. You have I chosen that you might
know Me, that I am He. You're going to understand that
I am He, that I am the Lord, I will work, and who will let
me? That's God. God does as He will,
with whom He will, because He will, all things according to
His will. Man doesn't have free will. God does. He's God. And this is life eternal, that
they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
God sent. The Son of God, the only begotten
Son of God, sent by God with a purpose. Ordered in all things
and sure before the world began. That's what God does. Known unto
God are all His works from the beginning of the world. Shall
I declare the end from the beginning of things that are not yet done?
Say, My counsel shall stand. I'll do this. I've spoken it.
I'll do it. It's coming to pass. And he sent Christ down here
to do a work for his people, and he did it, hanging on the
cross. Christ said, it's finished. Finish the work you gave me today.
And he went back, sat at the right hand of God, like the high
priest he is, finished the work. It's done. Salvation's accomplished
by Christ. And he sends the Holy Spirit
through the preaching of the gospel, and he rounds them up.
All that God loved, all that God elected, all that God gave
to Christ, all that Christ died for on the cross, all the Holy
Spirit comes for, He finds them. They hear His voice. They hear
the Gospel. And He reveals to them the truth. What I've just been saying. Who
God is. Who Christ is. Why He came. Who
He came for. What He did. Who He did it for.
It's the revelation. This whole book is the revelation. It's a revelation. Okay, they
say, Ron, I'm thinking of a number between one and a trillion. Go
ahead, give it a shot. No, that ain't it. You don't know unless I tell
you. You can just be guessing. You don't know God. We don't
know God. No man can find out God by searching. He has to reveal
Himself. No man hath seen God at any time.
The only begotten Son, He hath declared Him. No man knoweth
the Son but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father but
the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal Him." This is the revelation of Jesus
Christ. Salvation is to know Christ.
Salvation is to know who He is. You know who He is, you'll bow
to Him, you'll believe Him, you'll trust Him, you'll look to Him,
you'll call upon Him. You'll be saved. Salvation is
to know Him. We've known of Him. Because if
He knows us and loves us, He's going to reveal Himself to us.
I've known you. I've loved you. In turn, you
say, now I know you and I love you. The revelation of Jesus Christ
which God gave to Him to show unto His servant. See that? To show unto His servant. Who
does He reveal Himself to? The world? His servant. His people. His people. He said one time to his disciples,
he said, I call you friends because I tell you what I'm thinking.
I've revealed myself unto you. One time he asked his disciples,
whom do men say that I am? And they said some good things.
They all said some good things about Jesus. He's a prophet. That's good. That's not high
enough. That's not good enough. He's a good man. That's not good
enough. He's a miracle worker. That's not high enough. He's God. That's what Simon Peter,
all of them, said. He said, who do you say that
I am? They said, you're God. Well, the rest of the world said,
no, he's Jesus. He can't be God. God's in heaven.
He's on the earth. Yes, he's God manifest in the
flesh. And our Lord turned to Simon
Peter and said, flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you, but
my Father which is in heaven, you have I chosen that you might
know me, that I am that I am. God, I have come for you. The revelation of Jesus Christ,
God gave to him to show unto his servants, what? Things which
must shortly come to pass. Look down at verse 19. It says,
write the things thou hast seen, the things which are, and the
things which shall be hereafter. When was this written? 2,000 years ago, wasn't it? Alright,
he said, write the things which have been, which are now, that's
2,000 years ago, and things which shall be shortly hereafter. That
means there's not much time left. That means most of this, if not
all of this, has already been fulfilled. Right? Shorten it. The time is at hand.
You see, the time is at hand. Well, where am I? Okay, look at verse 2. In verse
1, he signified, he sent and signified it by his angel. That's the Holy Spirit. unto
his servant John, okay? God gave to Christ this gospel,
who came and preached it and made known to the Father to show
unto his people, his servant, and he sent this by his Holy
Spirit through a preacher. John was a preacher, right? A
man sent from God. He's just a man, but he was sent
by God. How shall they hear without a
preacher? And how shall they preach except
they be sent? Alright, how do you know a true
preacher? How do you know John was sent by God? Well, he bore
record, verse 2. He bore record of the word of
God and the testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. That's how you know. That's how
you know a true preacher. He's not going to preach man's
thoughts and opinions and what his denomination believes. He's
going to preach what God says. The Word of God. And more specifically,
more particularly, He's going to preach the truth, the Word
of truth, the Gospel of our salvation. He's going to preach Jesus Christ
and Him crucified. The testimony of God. That's
what this whole book is all about. From Genesis to Revelation, Christ
said, I am the first and I am the last. I am the beginning
and the beginning God, and the very last two words are the end.
It's Christ. It's all about Him. points all
men, sinners, to one way, one truth, and one life, Jesus Christ,
in Ephesus. That's how you know. That's why
Paul said, woe isn't to me if I preach not the Gospel. Because
this whole book declares who Christ is. It's what God demands
that we preach. It's what God demands that men
hear. This is my Son. Hear Him. It's
what sinners need to hear. Who? Who do they need to look
to? To have the Son have life. He's the Son. Like the Son is
the life of the universe, the physical Son, so is Jesus Christ. In Him is life and light. People that walked in darkness,
seeing a great light upon them, let the light shine. What's that?
The light of the knowledge and the glory of God in the person
of the Lord Jesus Christ. And if anybody preaches anything
or anyone else, he hadn't seen the light. There's no light in
it. Through the laws of the testimony, they speak not according to this
word. What's this word? It's Christ. He's the word. Did
you hear the radio message on one? He's the word. He is the
book personified. May he bless you. All right.
He says, I bear record. of the Word of God and the Gospel
of Christ of all things that he saw. What did you see, John?
What did you see? He said, I turned to hear the
voice that spoke unto me, and I saw. What did you see, John? I thought, what? Who? Him. I saw Him. If you hear the
Word of God, if you hear from God, you know what you'll see?
Christ. Listen to this. He said, of all the things that
he saw. Listen. All the things he saw. I'm bearing
record of all the things I saw. Here are all the things of God.
Right here. By Christ were all things created. In heaven or in earth, visible
or invisible, thrones, dominions, principality, power. All things
were created by Him and for Him. He's before all things. By Him,
all things can see it. He's the head of the church,
the body, the church, who's the beginning, the firstborn from
the dead, that in all things He might have preeminent. For
it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell,
having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to
reconcile all things unto Himself. By Him, I say, whether it be
things in earth or things in heaven, All things. John said,
I see all things. Are you with me? Christ is all. The heavens declare His glory.
The sun is a type of cry. The trees are clapping their
hands. To whom? Jesus Christ, who hung on them.
The clouds are the dust of His feet. The birds are singing His
glory. The wind and the waves do His
will. He's God manifest in the flesh who came to earth. This
is what He said. Now, all things He saw, He blessed. You know, most people read this
book, well, those that do read it, most don't, but those who
do see it as a book of prophecy. What does the Scripture say is
the testimony of prophecy in this book? The testimony of the
Spirit? The life, the gospel of Jesus
Christ is the testimony of prophecy. Doesn't it say that? You who
know the Word. That's what it says. God doesn't preach Christ
crucified or write of Christ. Christ said, they are they that
testify of me. All to Him give all the prophets
witness. He said, you search the scriptures,
you think you have life, but they testify of me. They point
to me. God didn't write 65 books on
one subject and change the subject. This is the last book. This is
the prologue end. This is the culmination. This
is the exclamation point on the whole book. This is the end.
You're going to find out how it ends. How's it going to end?
In Christ. By Christ. All things. With Christ. It all started with Him. With God before the world began.
Purposed all things. Before there was anybody or anything,
God purposed all things in Christ. How's it going to end? In Christ. We're all going to be gathered
together in one, even in Him. So John said, I'm going to tell
you all things. I can do it in one word. Christ. How blessed you are. Some of you are listening to
this with understanding. With your understanding, Brother
Kelley. He said, the people in Nehemiah, they wept when they
heard the law. They wept. And the preacher said,
don't weep, this is good. Rejoice. You understand. You understand that the law says
guilty. But Christ came made of a woman,
made of the law to redeem us under the law. And now Christ
says, you're not guilty. He says, go, eat, rejoice, make
great mirth. Really? That's good news? Yes, let's do that. Go tell somebody
else. All things. He came to reconcile
all things to Himself. And He did it. His people. It's going to end
well. It all looks bleak, doesn't it?
For this earth, it is. This world, fire is going to
fall on this earth. Who said that? Jesus Christ! But I'm here to tell you, it
won't fall on burnt ground. God said to Noah, create an ark. And he said, I'm going to rain
and the whole world is going to be drowned by my wrath and
my judgment. But God, who is rich in mercy,
said, make an ark, Noah. And whoever is in that ark, that
rain is not a drop of it that is going to fall on them. And they are going to end up
in a new world. And that ark is Jesus Christ.
You understand that, Jennifer Hodges? Is that what you understand? Blessed are you, how blessed you are to read this,
to hear it, that you understand it. And given an understanding
that you might know Him that is true, and we're in Him that
is true, even in His Son. Even in the ark, we're there.
We're seated with Him, John. We're in the ark. The things we were talking about
this morning, you know, that God instructs us to do and all
that, and we all feel so guilty, and it's hard for us to say amen,
because we feel so guilty and all that, but I'm here to tell
you that He that hath begun a good work in you, will finish it. He said, Sid, shall not have
to repent. I've given you grace, I've given
you my spirit, and he's not going to leave you. You see? Salvation's of
the Lord. That's good news, isn't it? Oh,
blessed is he that readeth, they that hear the words of the prophecy,
and keep those things which are written therein. The time is
at hand. He said that 2,000 years ago.
The time is at hand. The time is at hand. He said, blessed are they that,
blessed people, the blessed book. Oh, this book, isn't it precious?
Don't you love this book? There was a time, I found some little book written
by a Hindu Swami or whatever, swimming head fellow, Swami. And I just thought, ooh, this
is wisdom. I didn't esteem this book. There was a time when I didn't
esteem this book. I was old-fashioned, you know. Oh, now I do. Why? The Son of God has come
and given me understanding. And now I, like David, David
said, I joke. Job said this, I esteem your
words, the words of your mouth, more than my necessary food.
This is better than food, he said. I need it more than food. Is that what you think? Really? Did you always think
that? No. That's life in it. That is to say that hunger and
thirst after righteousness, after truth, after Christ, oh, my life
has been given. David said this. Jeremiah. David said, Your words were found
and I did eat them. And Thy word was unto me the
joy and rejoices of my heart. I ate it like food because it
was my life and my salvation. Most people don't preach to me.
God's people say, please preach to me. I don't want to hear that. Oh, I do want to hear that. What's
happening? Life. Life is hunger, is thirst,
is sorrow, is joy. It's all the same. And it's a
savor of life to life. You mourn over your sin. You
rejoice in Christ. You hunger for Him. He sends
a word and it fills you up. You thirst like the woman at
the well. She was in religion before. She didn't need Christ.
She was okay. Now, buddy, when she met Christ,
she dropped her water pots. I don't need that stuff anymore.
I got Him. A woman with an issue. Brother Eric preached on her,
didn't he? A woman with an issue. Since when she heard of Him. Faith comes by hearing. That's
the way to hear. Must be given ears to hear. Some
are listening to this right now and it means nothing to them. Some have sat for years and it
means nothing to them. You did. I did. It meant nothing. But God. In the time, in the fullness
of time, when God says, like that child in the field of Ezekiel,
when God passes by you, if it's a time of love, if it's time,
the time's at hand, He comes and says, Catherine, live. And what do you do? Like a baby
boy. Oh, God be merciful to me, He
said. Then what's next? You desire the sincere milk of
the Word. Feed me. Alright, Daughter. I'm getting
ahead of myself. Let's go on here. It says John
4 to the seven churches. You see who this is written to? But you're in Asia. The church. What he says to one church, he
says to all seven. It's always a number that is
a perfection. What he says to any church, he
says to all churches. The church. local assembly. But this church,
His church, to the seven churches, grace
unto you and peace from Him. Grace. By grace, you say. It's not an offer. It's unto
you. It's upon you, upon all that
believe. It's something God does for you.
It's something God does in you. It's something Jesus Christ did
for His people. It's something the Holy Spirit
does to His people. Grace is an act of God, not an
offer of God. Sovereign grace. He said, I give
unto them life. He doesn't offer life. He gives
life. Grace unto you. And P, the grace
gift of life, the gift of faith, the gift of repentance is all
unto his people. And peace. We don't make peace
with God. We can't do that. We're the offender. He's the offended one. We're
the guilty. He's the judge. You can't say
to a judge, I decide to accept your forgiveness. Oh, no. He
must declare it. He must say, I've decided. You
come before a judge, you fear him, don't you? If you're guilty,
you'll fear him, and you'll stand before him and say, if you even
decide to have mercy, I sure would appreciate it. And I'm
here to tell you. I say that all the time, and
I catch myself. Because that's what I'm here to tell you. That's
what I've been sent to tell you, that everyone that hopes in His
mercy, that every guilty sinner that stands before God and says,
God, be merciful to me, the sinner, God says, I will. But he can't
sweep sin under the rug. He's just. He will by no means
clear the guilty. You've sinned against Him. Every
sin must be paid for. That's why Christ came. That's
what Christ did. Hung on the cross. Made sin for
His people. The substitute of His people.
And when God saw Christ, He saw every one of His people. And
God poured out His wrath upon Jesus Christ. And all the sins
of all of God's people from time past to time eternal were laid
on Him. And Jesus Christ paid it all. They're gone. Paid for. And God
is satisfied. God says, and everybody says,
everybody that comes by Christ, come on in. But I'm a sinner.
Oh, you know. I don't see salt. Let's see what
the book says about you. Here's what the book says about
all that come to Christ. Here's what it says. Justify!
Here's what it says. Sanctify! Here's what it says. Clean! Here's what it says about
old Edwin Berry. Complete! Perfect! Unblameable! Unreprovable! You
know what he's looking at? Blood. It's all been blotted, that's
all covered in blood. That's what the blood says to
God. He said, when I see the blood, that's what I see. If you're a sinner, that's why
it's called good news. The only thing that's good news
to a sinner. All right, wherever. Okay, here
we are. Grace and peace to you. Christ
made peace with an angry God for us. From Him, verse 4, I've
got to hurry. From Him which is, which was,
and is to come. Now, he says that several times.
Jesus Christ, the same. Had you ever noticed that in
Hell and Hope there in John 1 where it says, the same was in the
beginning? That struck me. I thought, why did he say that?
The same. Because He's the same one. One time they said to Christ,
they said, if you be the Christ, tell us plainly. His enemy. If you be the Christ, tell us
plainly. He said, I told you. But you believe not because you're
not my sheep. Who are you? The same. The same that I said in the beginning.
Who? I am the beginning. I'm God.
No, you're not. And the Jehovah Witnesses and
the Mormons say he didn't say he was God. He didn't say it
to them. And He said to me, who are you? The same. Who are you? I am the woman at the well. When Christ has come, He'll tell
us all things. I am. You are. Yes, you are. The same. He's the same. Same God. Which
is, which was, and is to come. And I love this. He's the unchanging
God. This same Jesus. It shall so
come in like manner as you've seen Him go. How is it unchanging? He doesn't change His mind. His
love doesn't change if He's set His love on you. Your love. Have Him loved His own. How long? To the end. And the end ain't
bitter. It ain't the bitter end. It's
the sweet end, sister. It's the sweet end. If He loves
you with an everlasting love, what's He going to do? He's going
to draw you. And if He loves you with an everlasting love
and He died for you, that's how you know He loves you. If He
died for you, He's coming again for you. Oh, He's got to receive
that which He paid for you. He's coming again for you. That's
love. Saving love, effectual love.
Oh brother, who was there? You two, you were there. Brother
Gene Harmon said he heard Henry Mahan preached on effectual love. He kept saying effectual and
effectual, and finally he stopped and said, do you know what effectual
means? Gets the job done. Who he loves, he loves everlastingly,
savingly, forever. Who shall separate us from the
love of God? Nothing and nobody. Why? Because
it's in Christ. It's in Christ. And that's why
it goes on to say in verse 5, He's the one that loved us. From
Jesus Christ, verse 4, you're wondering about the seven spirits
before His throne and the seven eyes. Do you wonder that? Well,
that's chapter 5. Real quickly, just turn over
there. It'll show you what it means. It says in verse 6, I'll
be held and low in the midst of the throne of four beasts.
You have it? Chapter 5, verse 6. In the midst
of the elders stood a lamb, as it had been slain, having seven
horns. That's perfect power. All powers
given unto me. Horn is a symbol of power. The
ram's horn. Perfect. All powers given unto
me. And seven eyes. which are the
seven spirits of God. What that means is, He's omnipotent,
all-powerful, and He's omniscient, all-seeing. He's God before whose
eyes all things are naked in Him. That's what they mean. He
has perfect understanding, perfect sight, perfect of all things
and all people. Why? Because He's God. There's
only one Holy Spirit. But that represents the omniscience
of our God, who is Christ. And from Jesus Christ, verse
5, who is the faithful witness, first begotten of the dead. This
whole world wishes that somebody would come back from the dead
and tell us about life after death. And they grasp at, and
they believe any made up story about somebody lying on the operating
room table and their heart stops and they had to revive them six
times and it says they went and they saw a light or sat on Jesus'
lap and all that stuff. Saw a light. But I'm here to tell you the
faithful witness of all things that he saw and
heard. What things? He said, I was with
him in the beginning. I was with the Father in the
beginning, before there were angels, before there was anyone.
I am that I am. I was with Him in the beginning.
And I am come to bear witness of all things. He is the truth. He cannot lie. He is the faithful
witness. He has told us what life is,
what salvation is, what the truth is. He's told us. And you know
what He told us? It's Him. He's the faithful witness. He
said, I was there. I heard Him. I was with the Father.
And the words that I speak, He said, are not my own. They're
the Father's. Do you believe, He said, that the words that
I speak are the Father's? Yes, we believe that you are.
He's the faithful witness. First begotten from the dead.
If somebody could just come back from the grave and tell us what's
out there. He did. He did. And men don't believe
Him. I do. I do. Anybody else? I do. And He is the Prince of the kings
of the earth. The King of kings and Lord of
lords. I am so glad that our Lord Jesus
Christ reigns and rules. When I look at our kings, when
I look at our rulers, whoa! If I didn't believe Christ was
on the throne, I'd get my guns. I'd get my family and run to
the hills. Wouldn't you? Start stockpiling. I don't have
to do that. Why? Because my God granted.
And the King's heart is in the hands of the Lord. And He turns
it with us wherever He wills. That our President and the fellow
in Russia and the fellow in North Korea does what Jesus Christ
says. You say, I don't believe that. Then you won't have any
peace. You won't go to sleep tonight. And you need to, well,
you need to hear what I'm saying. God must show Himself to you. This gives us peace, comfort
in the midst of an evil world. Read on. He's the One that loved
us and washed us from our sin. Oh my. If I hadn't already said
something about that by now, I'd have been ashamed of myself.
To wait all this time to get to that. That's the theme. That's
the subject. It's all unto Him. What it is,
the whole world, the universe, the salvation of the people,
everything that God created is all unto Him. Unto Him be the
glory. Unto Him, created by Him and
for Him. And unto Him, all things, unto
Him who loved us. Nobody would love God unless
He first loved them. Nobody, nobody, nobody. Most
people hate God. But some people love Him. Why?
Because He loved them. And everybody in glory that loves
Him, and everybody that's going to be there that loves Him and
loves to be there, they're going to thank Him for loving them.
They're not going to brag on loving Him. They're going to
thank Him for loving them. Thank you, Lord, for loving me
and setting your affection on me. And thank you for shedding
abroad your love in my heart for you. Thank you. I wouldn't
give you a thought. Right? And wash us from our sins. People disrespect the flag of
the United States, don't they? I'm so sick of it. I'm sick of it. My brother shed
his blood, and that flag represents those that did it. Do you hear
me? Do you know what that red is
on that flag? The blood of those that shed
their blood and died for this country to have freedom. I'm sick of it. But you know what? There's a
higher flag than that. Christ is called our banner,
and He shed His precious blood, and religion is casting it underfoot,
throwing it out there like an offer to all men that hate Him
and say, here's the blood of Jesus Christ. What do you want
to do with it? It ain't interesting. It ain't bowing. It ain't believing.
Well, buddy, it's not up to you. And that flag, those who disrespect
that banner of Jesus Christ and His bloodshed for His people,
that they don't deserve it. God doesn't take lightly of that.
Preachers have cast it out there like, here it is, you can trample
on it. Here it's for anybody who wants it. No, it's not. It's
an undeserved privilege, a high honor, an undeserved thing for
the Son of God to die for anybody. And buddy, when you find out,
Rick, that he did it for you, the chief of sinners, you know
what you'll do? You know, men are supposed to stand before
the flag today, the Pledge of Allegiance. When we preach this
gospel, when we preach the banner of this cross, kneel! Every tongue
shall confess, and every knee shall bow someday. Bless God
I do it now! I've done it now. There was a
time I would not bow to me. I did not see anything in it. Right, Jennifer? There was a
time. Jennifer Hodges comes this morning.
She sat for years just like I did and heard it and heard it and
heard it. But God, He must love you because finally
He says, you're going to hear My voice. You're going to realize. That's what I did to you. And
you're going to confess me. You're going to confess me. And
I'm going to confess you. There's a lot of people he's
going to say, depart from me, you workers of iniquity, I never
knew you. But he's going to say to those
whom he loved, those whom he died for, those whom God chose,
he's going to say, come ye, blessed is my Father, into the kingdom
prepared for you before the foundation of the world. And they're going
to say, oh, unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sin. He's coming. Verse 7 says He's
coming. And every eye will see Him. And
everybody's going to wail because of Him. Everybody doesn't know
they're going to wail because of Him whom they've pierced.
But not God's people, Sister Robin. We're not going to wail. We're going to shout. We're going
to shout, He's here! Bless God, He's here! Just like
He said He would. We'll rise to meet the Lord in
the air, and ever be with the Lord. It has a good ending. It has a good ending. Why? Because Jesus Christ is
the beginning and is the end. First, He's the author, and some
might say He's the finisher of the faith. Delivered to the saints. Here it is. Don't you love that? Here it is. The finished Word.
What do I do? Believe. Our sister Jennifer Hodges is
coming this morning to confess that Christ. The true Christ. She told me that she wanted to do this for a long
time and was afraid. I know, I was there. You're afraid
of making a false profession, aren't you? You wait on a feeling.
You think, well, if I can just feel better and one day you'll
feel good, then the next day you won't feel too good. One
day you believe, the next day, I don't know if I believe or
not. That's what you're doing is looking
within. What you're trying to find a feeling, you're trying
to come up with something in you where you can feel good about
doing it. It's not about you. This is not
about you, not about us. It's about confessing Jesus Christ.
It's coming before people. It's like Mary. Somebody comes
to be married. Do you take this? I do. This is the one that I love. And those who confess Christ,
that's what they're saying. He's my salvation. He's my hope.
He's my all. He's my righteousness, He's my
wisdom, sanctification, redemption. He's all and in all to me. I'm
nothing at all, but Jesus Christ is my all and in all. Is that
what you're saying, sister? I love being able to call somebody
sister. You've got it for a hundred. Okay, if you've come, get ready.
And John, if you've come, sing number 190 while we get ready. 190, this is to the tune of Every Stormy Wind. One hundred
and ninety. One ninety. Huh? Oh Jennifer. That's all right. I didn't know either. Still don't. We bless the name of Christ the
Lord, We bless Him for His holy work, Who loved to do His Father's
will, And all His righteousness for sin. We follow Him with pure delight,
to sanctify His sacred right, and must our faith with water
seal, to prove obedience that we feel. Baptized in God the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three in one with conscience
free, we rest in God in love and peace through Jesus' blood. By grace we have a Father bright,
By grace the Comforter comes nigh, And for Thy grace our love
shall be Forever only, Lord, for Thee. Is that what you believe in the
Revolution? That's who you believe. You're telling me these messages
are speaking to her heart. That's fine. We won't leave this
water in here for a while, okay? Anybody? What a privilege this is to witness
this, and even more so to do this. What a privilege. The command of our Lord, and
yet a blessed privilege to confess Him. Jennifer Hodges, in obedience
to the divine command of Christ Jesus, our Lord, your Lord, I
baptize you, my sister, in the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. Our great God, our sovereign Lord, and ruler, we thank you for this
day. Thank you for the Lord Jesus
Christ who came into this world to save sinners. Thank you for
the blood that was shed to make peace. Thank you for thy Holy Spirit
which takes the things of Christ and shows them unto us. Thank
you for keeping us. Thank you for thy blessed gospel.
Thank you for our blessed pastor. Thank you for this place. Oh Lord. Let everything that breathes,
everything that is, give praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. He used to come to therapy years
ago. He is still there. Her daddy,
Leo Cooney. Leo Cooney. He joins the mission. Hold your breath. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Stay happy!
