and you've got your Bibles, open
up with me to the 110th Psalm. The 110th Psalm. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit
thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule
thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in
the day of thy power and the beauties of holiness from the
womb of the morning thou hast to do of thy youth. The Lord
hath sworn and will not repent. Thou art a priest forever after
the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall
strike through kings in the days of his wrath. He shall judge
among the heathen. He shall fill the places with
dead bodies. He shall wound the heads over
many countries. He shall drink of the brook in
the way. Therefore shall he lift up the head. Our Father, in the gracious,
blessed name of your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, We prostrate
our hearts before you this evening. Lord, we pray that you humble
us, keep us from vain glory, keep us from everything that's
unlike you. Oh, and forgive us of everything
that's unlike you. Oh, God, help us, Lord, with
this awful flesh, with the things that we contend with in our own
hearts and minds. Please enable us, Lord, by your
grace. to always keep looking, looking,
looking, looking to our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless your word
tonight. Bless your saints that's gathered
to hear it. Bring glory to yourself. Be merciful, gracious, and kind,
and pitiful towards those who, through your providence, are
not with us. We ask these things in our Lord Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. is about our Lord Jesus Christ.
There's no doubt about that. He's been exalted. The Lord said
unto my Lord, set at thy right hand till I make thine enemies
thy footstool. That's where our Lord Jesus Christ
is exalted to God's right hand, the position of power and authority
and glory. And as the king, as the rightful
king, as the one who has the right to the throne. And then
he also shows us his priesthood, his eternal priesthood. He's
like Melchizedek, no beginning of days, no ending of days, no
pedigree. He's just the priest of the Most
High God to whom even Abraham paid tithes. The Lord has sworn
in verse 4, and will not repent, thou art a priest forever after
the order of Melchizedek. And this is, you keep this, and
this is the verse of scripture that our Lord used in Matthew
22 to silence His enemies. You remember when they came to
Him, the Pharisees, then the Sadducees, and then the lawyers,
they all three came asking different questions. And our Lord says,
now I want to ask you a question. And He asked them a question. And down in verse 42, He silenced
his enemies right then and there. Verse 41, While the Pharisees
were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think
ye of Christ? Who do you think he is? Whose
son is he? They say unto him, The son of
David. And that's true. Then he saith unto them, How
then doeth David in spirit call him Lord? And he quotes this
Psalm. And look what it says in verse
46. And no man was able to answer him a word, neither did any man
from that day dare ask him any more questions. He used that verse of scripture
just to silence them right there. Right there. And here in this
blessed psalm, Psalm 110, the father makes some promises to
the blessed son. And in them promises to his son,
he includes us. First he says he'll make his
enemies his footstool. And just as sure as God's on
his throne, that's what's going to happen. Figuratively and really,
I mean, God's going to let everybody know that the Lord Jesus Christ
rules and reigns in this world and all of His enemies are going
to be put under His feet. That's what they do oftentimes.
They take an enemy and put him down and put their foot on his
neck. Well, I tell you, God said, I'm
going to make all your enemies just your footstool. I'll let
you prop your feet on them. And then look what He says also
about it. And he shall rule by the rod of his strength. And
look what he said in verse 2. The Lord shall send the rod of
thy strength. The rod of whose strength? The
Lord. The one that sits at his right hand that he's going to
make enemies. I shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion
and you will rule in the midst of your enemies. And he does. He rules by the rod of his strength.
And here's the one I really like right here. Thy people. I love this verse. Thy people
shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of
holiness from the womb of the morning thou hast to do of thy
youth." And then he says he shall judge too. Look what he says
down in verse 6. And he shall judge among the
heathen. He's going to even slay people
and he's going to wound the heads. He's going to bring judgment.
this Lord Jesus Christ, the one we're talking about. But the
promise that I'm interested in of these four promises that He
made to our blessed Savior, the promise I'm interested in is
in verse 3. And there's four things in this
verse that I want us to look at. First, we have the promise,
then the power, then the people, and then the persuasion being
made willing. And I'll tell you, the Lord Jesus,
here He is, He's sitting on His throne, EXALT AT THE RIGHT HAND
OF GOD, SETS DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH,
AND AS BEING A KING AND HAS ONE WHO RULES AND REIGNS AND HAS
A KINGDOM, HE HAS TO HAVE SUBJECTS. IF HE'S GOING TO HAVE A KINGDOM,
HE HAS TO HAVE PEOPLE, HAS TO HAVE SUBJECTS. AND LOOK WHAT
HE CALLS THEM. HE SAYS, THY PEOPLE, THY PEOPLE,
A DISTINCT, SEPARATE PEOPLE BY HIS CHOICE, BY ELECTION, And
you know over in Isaiah 40, it says, Comfort ye, comfort ye
my people. And it says that the Lord Jesus
Christ, that when he, he shall save his people from their sins. So all the way through the scriptures,
we're designated as his people. The people that were not the
people of God, were not a people, are now the people of God. And
he calls them thy people. This is what the Lord said unto
his Lord. The sentence is right here. These are thy people. THEY
BELONG TO YOU, YOUR PEOPLE. HE CALLS THEM PECULIAR PEOPLE,
PRECIOUS PEOPLE, AND NO SEPARATE PEOPLE. AND HIS PEOPLE BY PROMISE.
LOOK IN PSALM 2. LOOK IN PSALM 2. HIS PEOPLE BY
PROMISE. GOD PROMISED HIM A PEOPLE. GOD
PROMISED HIM AN INHERITANCE. AND WE'RE HIS INHERITANCE. THAT'S
ALL YOU CAN SAY ABOUT IT. WE'RE HIS INHERITANCE. God gave
all of Israel a lot. He gave all of them property
except for the Levite, for the Levitical priesthood, the tribe
of Levite. PRIESTLY TRIBE. And beloved,
we're high priests and royal priests of God and God hath made
us His people and we're His portion. If God has an inheritance in
this world, we're His portion. And that just absolutely astonished
me that God says of all the things that I have in the earth, I'll
have you to be my people, to be my portion. Now the earth
is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, but He said you're my
portion. And look what he said here in Psalm 2 in verse 6. Yet
have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare
the decree the Lord has set unto me. Thou art my son this day
of my begotten thee. Now listen to it. Ask of me and
I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. He got this old heathen, I've
given to him. He said, he asked me, he asked
of us. And he said, he asked and the
Lord gave him. And not only were we his people
by promise, but we his, he says, thy people. We're his people
because he bought us and he paid for us. He redeemed us with his
own precious blood. He purchased us with His blood. He worked us from our sins in
His blood. He told Jacob, He says, Fear
not, Jacob, I've redeemed thee. I've called thee by thy name.
And oh, beloved, that's the song that we'll sing in glory. Thou
hast redeemed us by thy blood out of every kindred, tribe,
and tongue, and nation under heaven. So he purchased us, he
redeemed our life. Psalm 103 said he redeemed our
life from destruction. He has delivered us from the
power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of his dear
son. Have you ever went somewhere
to buy something, to purchase something and realized you didn't
have the price? You let you know and said, well,
as you know, there it is. I don't have the money for it. Or you decide after you look
at it, it ain't worth the price that they're asking. And then if you did have the
price, And somebody didn't want to sell it, would you have the
power, and the price, and the willingness to get it? Well,
our Lord Jesus Christ, he had the price, he had the power,
and he had the willingness. He said, ask of me the heathen,
this is what's going to cost you. He said, I'll pay it. If you got the power to save
them in the day of thy power, you got the power to actually,
after you redeem them, actually make them yours. Do you have
the willingness to pay the price? Do you have the willingness to
exercise that price? And our Lord Jesus Christ did
all. Oh my. I told somebody yesterday, said,
boy, I said, I'm not worth shooting. I'm not, he said, I never heard
that phrase in my life. And he just died laughing. He
said, never heard such thing. And I, I'm not, most of the time,
I'm not worth the salt goes in my biscuit. But yet the Lord
Jesus Christ said, I'll pay the price. You sorry, no good, nothing,
nobody from nowhere with nothing but sin and depravity and wickedness
and wicked mind or wicked heart, nothing to you whatsoever, ain't
worth nothing to anybody. But you're worth something to
me and I'll pay the price to make you my people. I'll pay
it. I'm glad to pay it. For the joy
that was set before him, he endured the cross despising the shame. And oh, that's why Job said,
I know, I know my Redeemer lives, the one who redeemed me. And
then not only that, by promise and by purchase, but we were
also given to him. Ask of me and I'll give you.
He said, John 6, 37, all that the Father giveth me, what's
going to happen to them? He said, they're going to come.
They're going to come. He said in John 17, Father thou
hast given him power over all flesh that thou should give eternal
life to who? As many as thou hast given him. Seven times it talks about being
given to Christ in John 17 alone. Seven times in John 17 alone. So we're his people, thy people.
Then look about what else it says, thy people. And then the
day of his power shall be willing in the day of his power. I love
when God says, I will, and they shall. I love those. The Lord, thy people shall be
willing in the day of thy power. I love when God says, I will,
and they shall. Look in Ezekiel 37. Ezekiel 37. Go right to your right and you'll
find Ezekiel. And look what he says here. And
I was looking today at how many times the Lord told Abraham,
I will, I will, I will, I will. And in three verses, God said
four times, three verses, I will, I will, I will, I will. That's
what he told Abraham. Abraham never said a word. God
just said, I will. I will, I will, I will. And when
God wills something, it's going to come to pass. God's will is
going to be done. It's going to be done in my life. It's going to be done in your
life. It's going to be done in this world. It's going to be done in the
lost man's life. It's going to be done in everybody's
life. God's will is going to be done in this world. And you
know what makes His will so pleasurable to us and delightful to us? is
because it's based upon wisdom and the wisest way something
can be done. It's based upon grace and omniscience
and omnipresence. It's based on the wisdom of God. God just don't do preachers who
say I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that and I'm
going to do another thing. God from the beginning said this
is the way I will things to be done and when he said that He
started His will before the foundation of the world and it ain't gonna
end until we get into eternity and THEN His will will be the
delight of our hearts and souls PERFECTLY! But look what He says
here in Ezekiel 37 verse 5. Now this is God speaking now. I was talking about I love thee,
I wills and you shall. Behold, I will cause breath to
enter into you, and you shall live. And then there's what else
he said, and I will lay sinews upon you, and I will bring flesh
upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you,
and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord. Oh, in the day of his power.
He has a day of power. And there's lots of days of power
of our Lord Jesus Christ according to his scriptures. There's the
day of his power, the day of his birth. What a day of power
that was. The angels sang glory to God
in the highest. The shepherds saw that star and
they went running and they began to praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
And then Simon, when he saw that infant, God gave him, in the
day of the Lord's power of his birth, Simon saw in an infant,
saw God's salvation and says, now let me die. Let me die. And oh, the days of his birth
was a day of power. What powers, men of faith. It's
such power that Herod said, I want every child. I want to worship
that king. Go find him and bring him. I
want to worship him that's born king of the Jews. So they went
looking for him. They couldn't find him. So old
Herod thought, somebody's going to come take my throne away from
me. He said, and he went and had every child Every male child
under two years old and under killed trying to get a hold of
the Lord Jesus Christ. And you know what God did? He
sent him into Egypt. And then he said, I'll bring
my son up out of Egypt. And they came back. And oh, beloved,
in the days of his life, the days of his life, the days of
his life on this earth were days of power. Oh, what days of power
manifested in our Lord Jesus Christ. The miracles, that is
the power over creation. Peace be still to the storm and
the wind. Walked on the water. And all,
and listen, he had quickening power, life-giving power. Lazarus
had been dead, corrupt. Four days been dead. And the
Lord said, I say unto thee, Lazarus come forth. And he did. With
a son, laying in a casket. Arise! He got up and crawled
out of the casket. To arise, his daughter laying
dead in her daddy's house. Twelve years old, the Lord Jesus
walked in and said, Oh, don't worry. And he just got her by
the hand and said, Daughter, rise up. And then he said to
her mother and dad, fix her something to eat. She's hungry. Oh, his life was a life of power,
miracle working power. 10 lepers came at one time, and
he healed 10 lepers at one time. Blind men come to him, and he
would give them sight. Deaf men would come, and he'd
give them hearing. People would come that was having, throwing
them in the fire, this way and that way, and our Lord Jesus
would come and just heal them and give them back to their mother
and daddy. Oh, his life was days of miracle, quickening, life-giving. And this is one of the most blessed
powers he has in Matthew 9. Oh, listen to this blessed power
here, Matthew 9. Oh, I love this power. I love
all the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the day of his power,
Matthew 9, look what it says here. Matthew 9.1, And he entered into
a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. And,
behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a
bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said unto the sick of
the palsy, Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee. That's
what I, that's what, you know, if you hear that right there,
if you stay on your sick bed all the days of your life, if
you hear that right there, that's all you have to have. Son, thy
sins be forgiven thee. God, I forgive you your sins. And behold, certainly the scribes
said within themselves, this man blasphemeth. And Jesus, knowing
their thoughts, said, worry and think ye evil in your hearts.
Which is easier, to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee,
or to say, Rise and walk, to our Lord Jesus Christ, it's one
and the same. HE CAN DO ANYTHING, AND LOOK
WHAT HE SAYS, BUT THAT YOU KNOW, MAY KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN
HATH POWER, YOU SEE THAT, HATH POWER ON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS,
THEN SAITH HE TO THE SICK OF THE PALSY, ARISE, TAKE UP THY
BED, AND GO INTO THY HOUSE, And oh, he arose and departed to
his house, and when the multitude saw it, they marveled and glorified
God, which had given such power unto men. Power to forgive, power
to make you walk, power to cause you to walk with God, walk with
Christ. And I'll tell you another power
he's got. He's got convincing power in the day of His power. Why does He convince people of
it? First thing He convinces them of is sin. He convinces
them of sin. And oh, you take Job. Job said,
oh, I've heard about you with the hearing of the ear, and now
my eye sees you, and I abhor myself. Isaiah and David preached
this up at Fairmont last week. A couple weeks ago, and he preached
on, I saw also the Lord high and lifted up. And his glory
filled the temple. And then when he saw that, he
says, woe is me. And beloved, when God's the only
person that can show himself, and showing himself, you see
your own sin. That's why Job said, I heard
about you with the ear and the ear, now my eyes sees you. And
when you see him, that's when you abhor yourself. That's when
you know you're sinful. Daniel says my comeliness turned
into corruption. And then he convinced me. I'm convinced that I am a sinner
from the top of my head to the sole of my feet. I'm convinced
of it. You can't talk me out of being
a sinner. You can't talk me out of what
condition. You can't do it. I'm going to tell you, this is
a true story, this just happened this week. There's a fella at
the house and he'd been in trouble before, been in jail and how
they caught him was that he'd been on the run for four years
and he was on television and then this woman in the newspaper
wrote a big article about him and put his picture in the paper
so they could find him. And he says, when I read that
article, now they've been looking for this fellow for four years
to put him in jail. And this is out of his own mouth.
And he said, and I read that article in that newspaper, and
it made me so mad I couldn't understand it. I wasn't near
as mad as she said I was. I'm going to jail, and I'm going
to prison. They've been looking for me for
four years. But I'll tell you what, that made me mad. Then
he started talking about all the things he never had done. I may be that bad, but I'm not
this bad. Well, I tell you what, God makes
you bad, you bad all over. And you know why he makes you
bad? To make you come to him. In the day of his power, he convinces
us of that. And he convinces his own people
to own and confess their sins. I don't have no problem confessing
to the Lord, do you? to repent of dead religious works,
all the works that we have, we count them but done. And he's convinced us that we
have no merit or claim no merit, no personal merit whatsoever.
He convinced us to call on him for mercy and grace only to be
found in the Lord Jesus Christ. He makes us in the day of His
power, He makes us willing to be saved only one way through
the obedience and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. We dare not trust anyone else. We dare not trust a good thought. He's made us willing to be saved
by Jesus Christ and Him alone by His obedience, by His blood
shedding, by His righteousness. Oh, and I tell you what, He convinces
us of His power and His position exalted up there and every single
one of them that He convinces, they bow and bow gladly and willingly
and joyfully and thankfully before His blessed person. And oh, I tell you what, another
power He's got, He's got a resting power. You think he can't get
his hands on you? Who sold the Tarsus? He had his
warts in his pocket. These people that confessed as
Jesus and as this false prophet, I'm going to go get them. Well,
the Lord said, you go as far as you're going to go. And the brightness of the sun
fell on him. He said, you're not going no
step. You know what you're going to do? Lord, who art thou? I'm Jesus of Nazareth, whom you're
persecuting. It's awful hard to kick against
these pricks now, ain't it, Paul? So they say, oh, Lord, what would
you have me to do? What would he, oh. That Philippian
jailer, he was getting ready to kill himself because Paul
Silas, he thought they'd run out, therefore, you know, God
opened the jailhouse doors and he's fit to kill himself. Paul
run in, said, oh, don't do yourself no harm, don't do that. He said,
we're here, we ain't going nowhere. And he said, well, sir, what
must I do to be saved? Oh, and he'll arrest you. And
then he has liberating power. Oh, listen, know the truth and
the truth will set you free. Oh, look in Romans, look in Romans
six, Romans six with me for just a minute. In Romans six, look here what
we're talking about. In Romans six, talking about
being free, set us free, liberating power. free power, sets us free. Where God pardons sin, He also
seduces sin. And how in the world does a man
in jail know he's been pardoned? And the judge says, let him go.
They come and open up the prison door and let him free. And that's
what God does to us. He sets us free from the dominion
and power of sin. Look what He said here in Romans
6.16. Know you not, do you not know
this, that to whom you yield yourself service to obey, his
service are to whom you obey. Whether if you obey sin, it'll
be unto death. If you obey obedience, it's unto
righteousness. But now listen to this, but God
be thanked that you were the servants of sin, but You have
obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine that was delivered
unto you. Now listen to it. Being then
made free from sin, you become the service of righteousness. Oh, made free from sin. Love
righteousness. Oh, listen. He set us free, liberating
power. Whom the son sets free, he's
free indeed. And then, oh, there's power in
the day of his cross. You know the greatest power exhibited
between the eternities was the power that our Lord Jesus Christ
manifested on the day of his death on that cross. That's the
greatest power exhibited between the eternities. You know why? Because what it accomplished.
Who it was that died, why he died, who he died for, and everything
that was accomplished by it. You see, because Him being on
that cross, by His death, sin, sin's a hard thing to deal with.
Sin's a power. Sin has a depth to it and a power
to it. Paul said, to talk about sin,
he said, it's just exceeding sinful. But sin's a hard thing to deal
with. But our Lord Jesus Christ, put it away by the sacrifice
of himself once and for all. And not only that, but he satisfied
God. God said, I can ask for no more.
I'll not ask for any more. I dare not ask for any more.
My son gave me everything that I, my holiness, my righteousness,
my justice, everything that my soul required, my son gave it
to me. And wrath of God, he consumed
the wrath of God. And his people were saved once
and for all. That day on the cross, every
soul for whom Christ died was saved once and for all. Every sin of every child of God
ever committed was put away once and for all. And God himself will never, ever
come and require anything of us. His son gave it all. And our high priest was offering
the sacrifice and entering into the holiest of all by his own
blood. Oh, he's a high priest for after
the order of Macbeth today. And let me give you another one
real quick. I'll tell you another day of his power. There was a
day of power when the gospel came to you. and came to you
in power. That was a blessed day. The gospel
is the power of God unto salvation. And when the gospel came to you
that day in power, listen, our word came on to you,
our gospel came to you, not in word only, but in the Holy Ghost
and in power and in much assured. It comes in power. God's gospel
comes in power. Not to everybody, but boy, when
it comes in power, you know it's come and you know it's the gospel.
You know it when it comes in power to you. You know it's the
gospel that's come to you. Oh my. And then I tell you what,
back over here in our text, thy people in the day of his power,
look what it says. Thy people in the day of thy
power shall be willing." Made willing. Thy people shall be
willing in the day of thy power. When he brings that power to
bear, you come willing. This has nothing to do with free
will or free won't. Oh, no. You know how many people's
been made willing in this world? No one was made willing. Abraham was made willing. Jacob,
one night, wrestling with the Lord, he was made willing. Lazarus
was made willing. Samuel, as a little boy, he was
made willing. Mephibosheth, who was scared
of the king, he was made willing. Rebekah, when they sat down to
get a bride for Isaac, said, Will thou go with this man? I
will. Saul of Tarsus was made willing. I was made willing. Was you made
willing? If it was, it's because of the
day of his power. All of God's people are made
willing. And you know what they're made
willing to do? To forsake all and everyone that would keep
us from him in this world. That's why Paul said, I count
everything but loss that I may win Christ. Everything but dove
that I may know Christ. I want to know Christ and win
Christ and be found in Christ and nothing else ever matters.
He said, I desire to depart and do what? To be with Christ. I tell you, if there's anything
that keeps us from Him, that we got, you know, we can't let
relationships, anything come between us and our relationship
with Christ, because He made us so willing, willing to be
His. And then there conquered people
in the day of His power. You know what He conquered us
with? You know what He conquered us with? He conquered us with
His love. That's how He conquered us. He
could have exhorted power on us in such a way and subdued
us and bended and broken our will in certain ways, but He
came and conquered us with His blessed love. He came in grace,
grace, not in wrath, not in anger. He come in love and grace and
mercy and goodness. And then he conquered the whole
man, all the man, everything about the man. He got the whole
man. He didn't get part of it. He
got all of it. He got all of it. And oh, let
me tell you this too. And they're loyal people. Look
what it says. They're willing to, they people shall be willing.
They're loyal people. They're willing people. Lord, what will thou have me
to do? I want you to drop your net over there. Okay, nevertheless
it's your word, I will. Listen, he's our master. He's
our Lord. He's our prophet. He's our priest.
He's our king. And there's two songs in the
book, Lord, where you lead, I follow. And wherever he leads us, that's
where we're going to follow. If he makes the path plain, we're
going to follow him. Lord, will you lead us and we'll
follow. And let me show you this. I hope
I'm not taking too long, but look what else it said. And it's
going to not only a loyal people, a conquered people, but there
are numerous people. Look what it says there in the
last part of verse three. And the day of thy power and
the beauties of thy holiness. Christ, we see the beauties of
his holiness. And that's what wins us, that
love, that beauty of his wholeness. And then thy people come from
the womb of the morning. That has to do with you. And
what comes out in the morning, when the morning rises and the
morning starts, what does that mean? It brings forth all life. Everything starts all over again.
Everything begins that day. And he says, just like in the
morning, he said, I bring forth all my people just like it's
a new day. And he said, my people come out
of the womb of the morning. They had a new life, new day. Oh, and he brings forth the world
of a sinner's life and brings them out for the day. And then
let me show you this in closing. And then look what he says. Here's
the persuasion I told you about. He says, thou hast the due of
thy youth. Thou hast the due of thy youth. What is he talking about? Our
Lord Jesus Christ has the due of youth on him. the dew of youth. And you know dew is on the flowers
in the morning and these are the beauties of holiness. And
what that tells us is this, that he's like, he's young and fresh
and new all the time. Does the Lord Jesus ever get
old? Does he always not feel fresh and new and alive and vital
and real? He's always the same. He always
has the beauties of holiness. He always has the same strength,
the same glory, the same power of His youth. He's as vital today
to you as He ever was. And His truth has the dew of
youth on it. His truth is new all the time.
I intended to preach from someplace else today and just couldn't
get it together. But His truth has the dew of youth on it. His
person, His doctrine, His church. Oh, the freshness, the newness,
the brightness of the Lord Jesus Christ keeps us willing in the
day of His power. Don't He? The beauties of His
wholeness, the dew of His youth. No wonder He says Jesus Christ
the same today, yesterday, and forever. Huh? in the day of his power. What
a blessed, blessed Savior. Our Father, oh gracious God in
heaven, thank you for allowing us to meet here tonight. Thank
you for your gospel, precious, precious gospel. Love your gospel,
need your gospel. Thank you for your power. Thank
you for making us willing. Blessed be the day of the power
that you made me willing to come to you. Oh, blessed be your name. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen.
