He may walk in glory for all
the world to see. He may walk in glory for all the world to see. I will keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the Lord for ever, for in the Lord Jehovah That
is, God our Savior is everlasting strength, or is the Rock of Ages. That's where that song came from,
too, the Rock of Ages. Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength. OK. Now back to Philippians chapter
4. Philippians 4. Listen tonight. The Lord will
give you hearing ears. You may get some real peace out
of this message, some real joy, some real rest, and some real
comfort here. Faith is what we're after, isn't
it? The scripture says the just shall
live by faith. Scripture says faith enables
us to see the unseen. We've never seen God. We've never
seen Christ. We've never seen the things of
God in heaven. But faith is the substance, the
evidence of things not seen. So that's what we're after. And
faith, the Scripture says, cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
Word of God. And this word here in Philippians
4 is a word in season. It was for me, and I know it
will be for you, a word in season, a word from God to strengthen
our faith, a word able to make us wise and able to give us peace.
We looked at this before as I—after I studied this and prepared it,
it occurred to me that we studied this together. so long ago. It may have been a year or so,
but we need it again. It was new and fresh to me, and
I hope it will be to you also. We all go through times of trouble
and trial and doubt and depression, guilt, feelings of guilt and
extreme sorrow, up and down and tossed about with inner turmoil. And we need this peace that he's
talking about. This peace of God in verse 7,
it says, it passeth all understanding. It's able to keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus our Lord. We need this peace
of God. And it's called the peace of
God because only he can give it. He's the only one that can
give it. And it's a peace that only, it's
the only real peace that gives peace. It's not peace peace when
there is no peace, but it's peace that will really settle us, and
it said it will keep our minds and our hearts, and I need that. I need my mind and heart to be
kept, to be kept stilled. Be still my soul. Sherry plays
that quite often for the operatore. I need that. Well, nothing but
this peace will do that. All right, let's listen now as
we go through here. as the Lord speaks to us and
see where this peace comes from. There are three or four things
here that ensure this peace, three or four exhortations. Beginning
with verse 4, he says, Rejoice in the Lord always. Rejoice in the Lord always. That
stands to reason we've got to know him to rejoice in him, but
for those that know If we could just quit being wrapped up in
ourselves and start rejoicing in Him, we
might have a little peace. This is 99.9% of our problem,
all of our problem. It's our self, big S-E-L-F. If we could just quit being wrapped
up in ourselves, being full of self, self-pity, self-concern,
self-love. Brother James touched on that,
Brother Tim James. He said, in his witty way, you know how
witty he is, that when the Lord said love, we're to love the
brethren as ourselves. He's not commending us for loving
ourselves. He's just saying that we do love
ourselves. And if we could just love one
another like that, then that's what we're to do. It's not a
commendable trait to love yourself. And if we could just get by that,
if we could just quit being so wrapped up in self-pity, self-conceits, self-love, self-righteousness,
and start thinking on other things, thinking on things above, thinking
on things of others, especially things above, because he says
here we're to rejoice in the Lord. He said back in Colossians
3, he said, if you then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, Where Christ sitteth on the right hand of
God, set your affection on things above." So principally these
things have to do with the person, don't they? The things of Christ.
Set your affection on Him, on Christ. If we could just be taken
up with Him, I think we'd find very little reason
to worry much over anything, wouldn't we? to fret and complain
and be sad about anything. If we could just be taken up
with Him, rejoice in Him. You know how it is concerning
your own family, your children or your husband
or your wife or your parents or whoever it may be. There are
times when you rejoice in their happiness and their successes
over your own, don't you? That's the meaning of true love
and thinking on things of others. At times when you truly gain
more happiness, this season that's coming up, as pagan as it may
be, you know, yet it's good in the sense that people finally,
you know, spend a little time with one another and giving things
to exhibit a little love toward one another. That's good. I wish
we had it 365 days a year, for that matter. But you know how
it is when it's truly more blessed to give than to receive. You
ever felt that? You ever felt the joy of giving
and rejoicing? I believe we can really only
enter into this in our own immediate family, completely enter into
it. in rejoicing in their successes
over and above your own. Like you parents, there's nothing
you'd like better than for your children to succeed where you
fail. Right? To rise higher than you
did. Huh? You wouldn't be jealous,
would you? Or envious? Oh, no. It's exactly
what you're looking for. It's exactly what you want. Well,
he tells us to rejoice in the Lord. This is the sense he's
talking about. You know, like I said, we rejoice
in other people, our children and our family and so forth.
Even if our circumstances are not just right, we can rejoice
in them. If everything's okay with them,
say we're sick or ill, we're just thankful that it's not them.
Right? Don't you truly say that? And
they dote over you and say, don't worry about me, I'm glad it's
me and not you. And then when they're sick, you
think, I wish I could take their place. Right? We rejoice in them. Well, the
scripture says rejoice in the Lord. Rejoice in him. Rejoice in the Lord. Verse 7,
it says, we rejoice in the Lord, the peace of God which passeth
understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus. Notice each one of these exhortations, and this is the
promise that comes from each of these. Be rejoicing in the
Lord and the peace of God. Let your moderation be known
unto all men, the Lord's at hand, and the peace of God which passeth
on. Be careful for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and the peace of God. This is the end. This is the end. that we're looking
for, the peace of God. And the peace of God that we're
looking for comes by rejoicing in knowing that the Lord is Lord. The Lord is Lord. And we believe
this. We believe this in doctrine. Somehow or another, we're going
to have to put it to practice. Somehow or another, we're going
to have to believe it. with all our hearts in order to have peace,
that he is Lord, that he is Lord, that Jesus Christ is God, that
he is the judge of all the earth, and he will do what's right. Right? He is the judge of all
the earth, and he will do what's right. He reigns and rules over
all, and we need to rejoice in him, that he's God, that he's
that he's God, he's Lord. Do you ever do that? Are you
ever just taken up with just rejoicing in him? That's what
this is all about, what he's talking about. Do you ever just,
I don't know if I can explain it, you're just all of a sudden
taken up with him, who he is. Who he is, his person, his greatness,
his majesty. Ever think about it? Sure you
do. His glory, his honor, his wisdom, his love, his mercy to
you, his grace, his goodness. Oh, what men would praise the
Lord for his goodness, his wonderful works to the children of men,
his gentleness. The Lord is so good to us, isn't he? Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy
name. Forget not all his benefits and so forth. That blessed Psalm
103, his kindness, his compassion, his tenderness, his person, his
blessed person. You ever just stop and think
about the Lord and rejoice in him? Oh, the Lord. And you rejoice in his work too,
his work for us, to us, in us, his righteousness imputed. Do
you ever get a hold of your sin? If you ever get to feeling real
guilty, then imputed righteousness gets off the sweet tee. Rejoice
in his work, righteousness imputed. It's not charged to our account.
It is not charged to our account. Blood shed for the remission
of our sins. He said, your sins are gone.
I'll remember them no more. No sin. There's therefore now
no condemnation of them that are in Christ. There's nothing
that will give you peace like that. Nothing. Nothing. Psychiatrists won't do it. Psychologists
won't do it. Romans 8-1 will do it. There's
therefore now no condemnation for them that are in the crowd.
You notice he said that? It'll keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus. All this is through Christ Jesus.
He is the Lord. The Lord our righteousness. And
our sin offering, his faithful intercession. Scripture I quote
as much or more than anything else. Because I live, you shall
live also. My pastor pointed this out to
me one time. He said it's not that Christ
has to say anything to God on our behalf. He doesn't have to
show him his blood. He doesn't have to show him his
hand. We use that illustration quite often, don't we? That's
for us, he said. We use that illustration for
us. We'll be looking for scars, yes. But the Father's not. Just the fact that there's a
man seated at the right hand of God right now means that I'm
accepting. Because he lives. Because he's
there. I'll be there. Right? Because there's a man. A man
approved of God. A man accepted by God. Therefore
I'm accepted in the beloved. He doesn't say anything. Just
being there. Because I live. You live also. Because a man rose from the grave,
he's going to bring many sons with him. Bring many sons with
him. So he says, Rejoice in the Lord.
And again I say, in case you didn't hear me the first time,
rejoice. Rejoice in the Lord, his person,
his work. Rejoice in the fact we're accepted
in him, we're complete in him, we're joint heirs with him. And
as we looked at a couple Sundays ago, someday we're going to be
actually with him. If that's not cause for rejoicing, nothing
will give you cause. We're going to be with him. We're
going to be with him. Stayed upon Jehovah, though,
right now. That's how we're stayed. That's
how we're kept. Stayed upon Jehovah. Jehovah. And that Jehovah is Jesus Christ.
Yahweh is Jesus. Jehovah is Jesus Christ. And we're stayed upon him in
every way, every way. You know what a stay is, don't
you? Any men in the Navy? Anybody in the Navy around here?
Well, have you ever gone camping? A stay is what is the line that
holds the tent up, right? Well, faith is like a lifeline. We throw out the lifeline. Throw
out the anchor on the rock of Christ Jesus. Stay yourself on
him. yourself a stake. A stake can also be a stake driven,
a nail in a sure place. Jesus Christ is our Lord. I am His and He is mine. What
cause have I to worry or fear? And in verse 5, look at this.
He says, Rejoice in the Lord. Again, I say rejoice. Let your
moderation be known unto all men. Let your moderation be known. Now, I've had this wrong. I've
had this wrong, this word moderation. I never did bother to look it
up until now. And it doesn't mean temperance,
per se. It doesn't mean what you might
think it means, that you're moderate, that you're temperate, that you're—I
don't know what the word I'm trying to look for. But what
the word is here is gentleness. That's the word. gentleness or
patience is a derivative of that. And we need to be gentle men
and gentle women and patient men and patient women, and we
need to let it be known before all. He said, let your patience
or your gentleness be known unto all men. Wouldn't you like to
be known for being a gentle easygoing, patient person, wouldn't you? I've got a long way to go in
that. Wouldn't you like to be known for that? Nothing seems
to bother him. Wouldn't you like to be known
for that? He says, let it be known. Let your moderation, your
gentleness, your patience be known. Let it be known. Settle
down. In other words, settle down. Be patient. Unperturbed. Gentle. Well, how can I? How
can I? Because of the Lord. You're not Lord. He is. What
you got to worry about? Huh? Settle down. Be grounded
and settled. Maturely established and fixed. And this implies so much. Gentle. Let your gentleness be
known unto all men. Not a railer, not a brawler,
not a fighter, not a worrier, but a believer. Look at it. Look
at it. The Lord is at hand. The Lord
is at hand. That doesn't mean necessarily
he's watching you. He is, but that's not what that
is. That's not a warning or a guilt manipulation or a scare tactic.
What he's saying is the Lord's at hand. In other words, he's near. And everything's in his hands.
Everything's in his hand. Let your moderation be known.
Let your patience, your gentleness, your being settled, your maturity
be known. The Lord's in hand. Rejoice.
You see, I started it out, and he continues this same thought.
Rejoice in the Lord. He's Lord. That's cause for rejoicing. Let your moderation be known
unto the Lord. The Lord's in hand. The Lord's in hand. The
Lord is in hand. Believe that. The Lord's in charge.
is your helper. The Lord is the believer's avenger. The Lord is with me. The Lord
is watching over me. Settle down. Settle down, he's
saying. Let it be known. Let it be known. Now, here's a man that has peace. Here's a man that believes what
he says he believes. Here's a man that actually believes
what he says he believes. He says he believes God's on
the throne and everything is ordered by him and All things
work together according to his purpose, and nothing, nothing
happens but God directed it. There's a man that believes that.
You remember me telling you that illustration of it? That's a
brother up in Lexington whose boss called him Todd Nyberg.
You remember that? I'll tell it to you again. I
saw this dear man when we were up there, and he is indeed a
dear man, isn't he? She finally caught it, who it
was. And such a gentle man. Gentleman. Ever since we met
him, since the Lord revealed the gospel to him, he's been
that way, hasn't he? Just a gentleman. Just a gentleman.
Kind, considerate, loving. Christ-like. The best way you
could describe it. Christ-like. Well, this young
man, he's about 30. He's been here before. He's about
37 or 38. His boss called Todd Nybritt
one day. This young man works at a hospital.
And his boss, who is a doctor, called Todd Nybritt out of the
blue, didn't know Todd. Todd didn't know him. And he
called Todd and said, Are you Claire? Are you so-and-so's boss, or
so-and-so's pastor? And Todd said, well, yes, I am.
Who is this? He said, well, I am Dr. So-and-so. I am head over the
such-and-such place where he works. He said, I just had to
call you and talk to you and speak with you. He said, whatever
it is that Claire Sharon is hearing, now you know, don't you? That's his name. Whatever it
is that he is hearing, whatever it is that has produced this
in him, he said, I want it. He said, whatever that man, what
that man has is real. He said, I just want to hear
what you all believe, what you're preaching. Because that man,
it's real. His religion is real. Evidently
he'd seen and heard, like we have, many people, religious
people here everywhere. There are down a dozen, aren't
there, religious folk? People that are walking by faith,
though, are few and far between. People that truly believe in
God, like Abraham, are few and far between. Would you like for
your boss to call me like that? Huh? Well, that's what he says
here. These are the exhortations to
us here. Rejoice in the Lord. Rejoice in the Lord. Again, I
say rejoice. In case you forgot, you've got
plenty of reason to rejoice. We've got a whole lot more reason
to rejoice than we do to complain. Right? I believe if we started
rejoicing more, we'd quit complaining. I believe so. Let your moderation
be known unto all men. Let people know who you believe.
Let them know. The Lord's at hand. The Lord's
at hand. Be careful for nothing, verse
6. Be careful for nothing. That doesn't mean don't give
a flip about anything. A lot of people use this as an
excuse to be that way. Huh? He says, be careful for
nothing, because I'm going to let my grass grow two feet high.
That's not what he's saying there. He's saying don't be full of
care for anything. You know it's not saying that. and not be diligent. He says
for us to be diligent. Whatever we find to do, what
our hand finds to do, we're to do it with all our might, as
unto the Lord, whatever it may be, from the smallest thing on
up. But he's saying here, he's saying,
don't be full of anxious care about anything. Don't be full
of anxious care. Why should we? We can't control
anything, can we? He said that over in Matthew
10. He said, which of you, by taking
thought, can add one cubit to his stature. Hmm? No, we can't,
we can't do, if he says we can't, he says if we can't do that which
is least, we can't do anything, can we?
Huh? Why should we worry about anything?
Nothing's in our control anyway. We don't control anything. Without
Him, we can do nothing. He tells us to cast all our care
upon Him. All our care upon Him. Why should we take any of it?
Why should we leave any of it for ourselves? If we were going to walk up a
big mountain, high mountain, and had a big weight to carry
up that mountain, and somebody says, I'll carry it for you.
Give it to me, some big strong fellow. Would we give him 90%
of it and keep 10? Why do that? Huh? He says, cast
it all on me. Is that it? No, I thought I'd
keep a little bit for myself. I'll take it all. All of it. All of it? Yeah, all of it. It's not hard for me. Now, is
anything too hard for the Lord? What are your cares to the Lord
of the universe? Huh? Huh? That's the best respect in the
universe to him. He said if he cares for the sparrow
in the forest, don't you think he'd take care
of Joe Parks that he sent his son to die for? Yeah, but not
everything Joe's got. No. Everything. So he cast it all on that. It's
not heavy. It's not heavy for him. Cast
it all on him. He's in charge of anyone. Come
to find out, you really don't have it. You're just trying to
get it. He's trying to carry it. It's not yours to carry anyway.
Why not leave it with the Father? Why don't we be like little children
and depend on the wisdom and love and power of our Heavenly
Father? The disciples were constantly praying, weren't they? When our
Lord was about to leave them, he said, after they'd stayed
with him for three and a half years, and they hadn't done anything.
You know, for three and a half years, Barbara, they hadn't gathered,
they hadn't worked, they hadn't done anything. Just follow him. He fed them, he clothed them,
he protected them, led him, he guided him, he did everything
for him, didn't he? And at the end of it, and they
were fretting and worrying because he was leaving, he said, listen.
He said, while I was with you, did you like anything? Huh? Did we like anything? No, no,
we didn't. No, no, no, thank the Lord. Never
missed a meal. Never were in danger. He said,
well, I go to prepare a place for you. I go to my Father to
prepare a place for you, and I'll come again to receive you
to myself. If it were not so, I would have told you." And he
says, I'm going to send you a comforter, and he's going to take care of
you from here on out, and you won't lack for anything then
either. He said, I'm not going to leave you. Oh no, I'll be
with you. I'll never forsake you. No, never. No, never. You've never liked
anything yet? Have you liked anything yet,
Joe Park? Fifty-some years old. Sixty years old. You liked anything
yet? It's obvious. Where's somebody
in the 70s? Charles, just about. Might as
well be. 70s. Burgess? Liked anything yet? Anything? Why worry now? Why not spend the rest of your
years Why not have about ten more years of peace, if Roberta
didn't let you in? Cast all your care on him. Cast
all your care on him. Has anything—let me ask you this—has
anything turned out to be too hard to handle? Have you gone through anything
that was literal as absolutely you couldn't bear it, you were
not able to bear it? Huh? Deborah? You're here, aren't you? That's
what he said in 1 Corinthians 10, 13, didn't he? No temptation. No temptation will be more than
you're able to bear, but he will with that trial, that temptation,
make a way that you will escape, that you're able to bear it.
You've gone through something. You've gone through deaths. You've
gone through heartache, sorrow, hurt, disappointment, sickness,
name it. Surgery after surgery. Did you
get through it? Why worry then, huh? Why worry
now? How could they cut you now, Sherry,
that they didn't already cut you, huh? Why worry not? Let's start. This is what this is saying here.
Be careful. The Lord's in hand. The Lord's
in hand. You're in his hand. Now, here's
the key here. I drew a big picture here of
a key, a big skeleton key on my note. Here's the key to it
all. Look at it. It says in verse
6, be careful for nothing but in everything. By prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known
unto God." In everything, he says, in every situation, every
decision, and this is where we get all bent out of shape. This
is why, because we don't do this. Oh, what's the song say? Oh, what needless pain we bear. Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
oh, what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything
to God in prayer. That's good words, isn't it?
That could probably come from Philippians 4 or 2, doesn't it?
In everything, everything, every situation, every decision, every
trouble, every trial, by prayer and thanksgiving, by prayer and
supplication There is a key, as I said before. If you start
thanking him, you'll soon quit complaining. Start thanking. best until they get fully grown,
and so are we, until we get fully grown, until we fully grow up
in Christ and all things, and we come to Him with everything.
We need to talk to Him, don't we? Unburden ourselves. Prayer. Prayer. They say prayer changes
things. Oh, no, it doesn't. Oh, no, it
doesn't. They didn't get that from the
Bible, didn't they? Scripture says in Acts 15, 18, Known unto
God are all his works from the beginning, doesn't it? God has made with me an everlasting
covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, ordered in all things,
right? All things work together for
good to them that love God or to call according to his purpose.
Everything has already been purposed and willed and planned for me.
See, that's God. That's my Father. That's the
God of the Bible. If that's the only way you can
quit worrying about things, if you know that God's will and
purpose is immutable and unchangeable for you, and that whatever it
is you're going to get into is what He purposed anyway, then
take it. Take it. Prayer doesn't change
things. Oh, no. It doesn't change the
eternal, immutable, all-around will and purpose of God for you.
It doesn't change things. But prayer just settles us down.
That's what it does. It just settles us down. That's what prayer is all about.
It settles your own mind and heart about things and causes
you to remember that He's Lord. Right? You ever felt that? You ever experienced that? You
toss to and fro and worry about this and that and the other,
and you just thought, What am I going to do? What am I going to do?
I'll pray. That's what you should have done
before you started worrying. Then if you get through talking
to the Lord and unburdening him and realizing God's God, I'm in his hands. Christ is my
mediator, my intercessor, my advocate, my representative,
my high priest, my covenant head. I'm in him. I'm accepted in him. He's ordered all things concerning
me. I'm in Christ. Nothing can befall me except
exactly what's best for me, what's good for me, for my Father who
loves me. And what was it I was worried
about? I had something, Lord, I was worried about, but I forgot. I forgot. You shouldn't worry
about your sins, should you? God's forgot about that. Well,
have you ever felt better for just unburdening yourself to
somebody? It's good to have a friend. It's good to have a friend just
to unburden yourself. You just unburden. Sometimes
you just have to unload, don't you? You need to find a shoulder,
an arm, somebody's arm. Well, there's no arm quite like
the everlasting arm. You lean on those, can't you?
There's no friend, the scripture says, he's one that sticks closer
than a brother. He's closer than a brother. And
he can not only hear your worries, he can take care of them. It
says in everything, in everything about prayer and supplication,
in everything, talk to your Lord, talk to your husband. Not him. Your maker. Talk to him. The
things you talk to him about, you can't talk to him about.
Right? Talk to your husband. Talk to
your elder brother. Talk to your father. Talk to
your friend. Talk to him. And it's not just that he makes
you feel better. Not at all. Verse 7 says, The peace of God
which passes all understanding shall keep your minds and heart. The peace of God which passes
all understanding shall keep your minds and heart. He said,
My peace I give unto you. And I'm sitting here trying to
convey this to you. I can't do it. He has to. It's his to give. It's not mine to impart. He says,
My peace I give unto you. You see, I'm just talking about
it. He has to give it. He has to give it. And when you
need it, he will. My peace I give unto you. Peace
which no man, no body, no one can take away from you. Nobody.
Peace and knowing me. Peace and being grounded and
settled. Peace, it says here, is as past as understanding. which passes understanding. I've seen some people go through,
and I'm just about through, I've seen some people go through some
horrible trials. I don't know the past history
of nearly everybody in here. I know some things about most
of you. I'm learning some of the things
you went through and been through. But I've known some people, I'm
telling you, go through some inexpressible grief and trials
and heartaches and trouble after trouble after trouble after trouble.
And seeing them come through it with a smile on their face, And people have to, you know,
the world has to say, I don't understand that. I don't understand
that. No. You see, they don't have
that peace which passes understanding. And you ask a person to explain
it, and they can't. It passes knowledge. That's what he said in Ephesians,
didn't it? It passes knowledge. It has to be imparted to you.
How can he be so calm? How can she smile at a time like
this? Well, if you want to wrap it up, you can say, because the
Lord is Lord. Eli. What about old Eli? Do you
remember that, when they came to him and told him his two sons? He loved those boys, didn't he?
He loved them so much that he was doing wrong by them. He got taken out of the priesthood
because of what he was doing for those boys. You remember
the story, don't you? The Lord chastised him, killed the boys
for what they were doing, and took him out of the priesthood
because he wasn't disciplining his sons. But when they came
to him with news of his sons dying, do you remember what he
said? He said, It's the Lord. How'd your boys
die? Oh, a horrible earthquake. It's
the Lord. They didn't do what seemed good. That's what he said. They didn't
do what seemed good. You know when he really got upset, though?
When they said they took the ark. That's what upset him. That's
what made him fall over backward and break his neck. He's a big
fat man. And when they told him The Philistines
got the ark. They desecrated the ark. And
you know what? That's the type of picture of
men blaspheming God and abusing the gospel. The ark's taken. He fell over dead. Absolutely. Absolutely. Peace. Peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
That's what he said. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
But Christ is Lord, and he is, and let's rejoice in all things,
in everything, in everything, by prayer, supplication with
thanksgiving. So let's pray together. Stand
with me. Our Lord and our God, enable
us to be doers of this Word, not hearers only. Now we rejoice
in who you are and what you've done. Now, Lord, take this belief
and make it active in every fiber of our being. Keep our minds
and hearts, keep our minds from being, just from, keep us from
losing our minds, Lord, at various times through different things.
Keep us from being double-minded. Keep us from being ignorant and
without understanding. We should know by now, we should
know by now, nearly everyone in here, we should know something
by now. We need, Lord, we need, I need,
we all need some serious spiritual growth. And we need, we should
know by now, that thou art Lord because we've lacked nothing
for these many, many years. And everything is truly worked
out for good. We're all smiles in here because
the Lord is at hand. The Lord make that, take that,
plant it in our heart and make it work its way all the way down
to our feet. The very hairs of our head, everything.
May we truly live by faith in our Lord. And Lord, let it be
known, let others see, let others take note that we've been with
thee. Dear Lord, we ask that you would
enable us to rest upon thee, stay upon
thee, and not be careful, full of anxious care about anything. We make our prayer to thee. We
are suppliants to thee. We ask for your supply in everything. Give us what we need. We know
you will. You have. You've told us to ask
for it. If anything, that we might be
conscious of the fact that you give them. And Lord, we do all
this with thanksgiving. We thank you so much for who
you are and what you've done. Our cups run over everyone in
here. Under the sound of my voice now.
Under the sound of your voice. Our cups run over. Our cups run
over. We're full. We're full. Complete intake. Through Jesus
Christ. All because of Him. Most of all,
we give you thanks for Him who is responsible on whose account
we have all these things. because of him. We're joint heirs
with him. We thank you, Lord. We praise the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Now take these words and plant
them. Plant them. Let them bring forth
fruit for your glory. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.
