Inflation last year we I think last year our merriage seminar was about what 260 280 and so and so I’m just being wise and putting inflation on top of that so if you budget for 300 if we do get it for cheaper than that I’m going to
Praise God you got an extra 40 50 Quid to spend on your wife hallelujah amen uh and so and so so that’s marriage seminar July the 25th to the 27th um and so £300 is the budget and so please um prepare yourselves for that we want to collect
The offering let’s give God a a clap as we are prepared to take the offering this afternoon so I uh just as a way of taking an offering you know i’ I’m always kind of getting messages from people just uh letting me know just how
Amazing God has been and so um and so sometimes I do forget but sometimes I remember so I’ve asked someone to come and just testify about their journey in regards to giving to God and what they’ve experienced and I believe God has really moved in their life this last
Year and so um and so let’s hear a quick testimony from Tammy as she comes put your hands together for tamy she comes to testify 2 minutes or yes I’ll try um okay let me just get my nerves okay um afternoon everyone um those who had my testimony
Last year um I started a new job but not more so a job more like a career but you know a job um last year and it was a huge impact for me it paved the way to through a lot of um I guess you could
Say he helped me he reminded me that God actually listens to what I prayed for um so anyways long story short I had the huge salary increase um a huge um I guess you could say bonuses and last year around January I knew I wanted a
Promotion but I just didn’t know when um and I thought you know what maybe after 6 months I’ll you know try applying and I mentioned something to one of my managers and he was more so Pioneer more than I was for for this particular promotion he sent me CVS that he
Personally wrote just so I get that particular promotion um but I think I applied around August September last year I didn’t get it and I completely forgot about it this year it was at the back of my head um and then ending February my mentor was like oh by the
Way you wanted to do some promotion what about that and I was like oh yeah okay let me just you know look at the look on the site and I saw one just waiting for me felt like it anyways um and I applied for it but I wasn’t really my heart
Wasn’t in it cuz you know when you’ve been disappointed a lot just you don’t put your heart into certain things but anyways um long story short I applied for it and I wasn’t expecting an interview but go an interview right away my mentor made sure that I got the job
He will call me and you know go through interview questions just making sure I got this particular job and well I got the job was it two two weeks ago two weeks ago so yeah yeah yeah um and also sorry I I missed out this all cuz I was trying to
I got rushed with the 2 minutes or less um but last year around March we had a pastor come in and say um we should those who want a financial increase just want God to move financially for them she come in and or come to the front and
He will pray for them and whatever God asks you to give um to someone to bless someone with you should give at this point I just like I said just started his career I had about 500 to my name so I’m thinking okay God how much should we
Give1 you know 200 150 tell me the amount and God said I need you to give everything to someone I know and I was a bit angry because I felt like okay I just gave everything like if if you had the testim before you know I just gave
Everything about a couple of months ago but either ways I gave and at first it was challenging because it felt like a lot of random bills just kept coming out of nowhere I got tickets for things I didn’t even know you could get tickets for it was just a lot was
Just going on but anyways long story short I got a bonus last year’s summer which was more than double of obviously whatever I gave and I just feel like God has been with me and God has been teaching me that your money is not your own it’s mine but you know yeah okay
Anyways yeah amen and so you know just knowing people that come up and say these stories I I kind of have a sense of their journey and so if anyone you tell tell me when she came out came to church one of the main questions she had is why
Do I need to give to God or why do I need to give into a church why should I tie why should I and so but in a space of a Year God has accelerated certain things and if I be honest what I’ve seen God do in her life is the very things
That she desired are the very things that God has provided for because we serve a god that is that wants to bless us and so in Malachi chapter 3 God simply challenges us and says bringing all the tithes and the offerings into my Storehouse and see if I will not open up
The windows of Heaven for you and pour a blessing upon your lives you know it doesn’t mean you know just because you give doesn’t mean you’re going to get a financial blessing back right cuz how many know good health is a blessing a job promotion is a blessing a career
Rather than a job is a blessing right and so that’s what God does Amen when we begin to to honor him financially when we begin to put him first in our finances and once again the building uh is taking shape uh we had some Builders
Coming yet uh last week uh they did a lot of work uh and so but they’re able to do that because of your uh faithfulness in your giving and many of you have pledged to give more and about uh more this month and next month and I
Want to encourage you continue to be faithful uh God is doing something he’s building something and he’s getting to use us how many know that’s a privilege and so I want encourage you continue to give continue to be a blessing to the God has been a blessing to you I ask my
Brother J Who raise his voice asking the lord to bless every gift and every Giver amen amen let’s Give thanks be thanks be to God who always caes us to Triumph in his name thanks be to God who always causes us to win yeah thanks be to God who always causes us to Triumph in his name thanks be to God thanks be to God we have overcome hallelujah hallelujah we have

Uh good to see you all happy Mother’s Day uh hope you are enjoying Mother’s Day it it’s I I think it’s an especially for our time it’s a important date in our calendar because people don’t know what a woman is anymore so amen but we thank we thank god um and
Uh this morning I I I I’m I’m not going to do my mother’s day um presentation this morning um but I as we are focusing on you know Manchester and and the things that is going going going on there what we are believing God for I think it’s important to address an
Important topic that so often times get overlooked you know it’s spoken of but get gets overlooked often time I’m going to talk about the fear of the Lord and crucial to God being God working in our life working to our church and there has to be a element of reverence in our life
Listen the church world has abandoned the idea of reverence you see people doing all sorts of things um one guy playing football with the Bible on there there’s a loss of reverence the Bible and the scriptures I’m going to use today we we’re going to see how it opens the door to a
Supernal relationship with God reference amen um my scriptures today are taken taken from Psalms 89 5-9 and also Hebrews 12 28 and 29 but I’m also going to draw comparison between two characters in scripture um this this this evening amen and I I I I beg you bear with me this this evening
Amen because I’ve really believe that God is is is going to work um um wonderfully through this church through the people in this church um if we if we are able to grasp this truth this afternoon uh in um you had this this this child um killer person um called James burglar
Um who in a bit to be free from parole um you know he he was locked up for murdering some child in in in in um in Liverpool and and um he was locked up and they the justice system want to let him go but they keep over
Over a 20year period keep finding him you you know I mean breaking the law finding him with dangerous um and damaging pictures of children on his on his on on his computer and and stuff he he was let out on day reliefs a few times and and and had to be taken back
And he keeps reoffending and in his last attempt to get parole they say okay you you have gone a 10e period without without any anything let’s assess this and they checked his computer and there again he has offend he offended John was in a cycle of captivity though the justice
Justice system tried to reintegrate him into society but he had no reverence for the justice system there was an there’s absence of of reverence and so over over 30 years later he still remains captive and the just judge said listen this time you’re not coming out he
Lost reverence and as the consequence of his action will remain in jail for many people they have no fear of God or the consequence of a sinful life Al this may include Believers in Christ you know people Blas I was on Outreach one time you know Outreach listen guys I can’t
Emphasize Outreach if you want spiritual growth listen Outreach man very important for every believer but Outreach can also be very entertaining amen you come you come across all types of wonderful people amen and I’m there with w w with with an Outreach and and I’m witnessing and I’m following people
And they they’re trying to ignore you amen it’s amazing the lens people go to ignore you they will walk in the road amen all sorts of things they they go to extreme length just to avoid you one person almost walk in a post amen just to avoid it’s just paper it’s just
Leaflet you know can’t say no amen and I was there and and Outreach and there and Outreach and and I’m telling this guy know Jesus loves you and stuff and one guy said listen I’m I’m happy with my sin another guy I’m I’m I’m I’m outre
And he said you know what Jesus was a peder and and you know in that moment I just jumped away from him just in case you know just in case like you know you know I mean I’m like come but there was no reverence and this is something that we
Are seeing also in the church world what what people are doing to to to to draw a crowd and to Garner attention so let’s look quickly at our first scripture and then we’re going to pray and look at our scriptures and then we’re going to pray and believe God and the EV Psalms
895 89 5-9 and it says these words and the heavens will praise your wonders oh lord your faithfulness also in the Assembly of the Saints for who is in heaven who for for who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord who among the sons of of the mighty can be
Compared to the Lord God is greatly to be feared in the Assembly of the Saints and to be held in reverence by all those around him oh Lord God of hosts who is mighty like you oh lord your faithfulness also surrounds also surrounds you you rule and you rule the
Raging Seas when it it when it waves you steal them you steal them um Hebrews 12 28- 29 says therefore since we have since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken let us have have Grace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear for God is
A consuming fire Heavenly Father God we thank you for this time that we can come before you this this evening God lord I pray God for a Divine outpouring of your grace and your spirit oh God lord open the Windows of our understanding oh God
Lord God I pray Jesus show us how to have reverence for your name in Jesus mighty name amen the the Webster dictionary defines fear as an unpleasant or strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger anxious concern or an unpleasant alarm but um it also notes it it means
Profound reverence and awe especially towards God and this is the part that we want to we want to to look at um the the the the expository dictionary tells us fear means Terror or a depending fear can mean Terror or or or a depending on which side of Salvation you’re
On remember when you were when we were not saved or I remember and the thoughts of God coming and and and and Jesus coming back bring Terror in my a torment to my life amen but then when I get when I’m now saved the the the the thought of God
Coming back like yes get me out of this mad place and depending on where you are in in Salvation is either terrifying or or oh awesome can’t I’m just looking forward to this the fear of God is Central to the acquisition of wisdom in this sense fear is a positive
Quality and something to be pursued in the life of every believer for God’s people fearing is fearing the Lord is a is a response of reverence it’s a it’s obedience and trusting in in the Lord today we are looking um looking at the events surrounding sadom and and Sodom and gomorra
Three um the three main characters involve um God lot and Abraham so Sodom was an incred was was is an interesting uh um um account in in scripture the people of Sodom um were were warned listen listen you need to cut cut cut all the all the all the all the LG
Amen amen you mean cut it out because judgment is going to come Luke 12:5 says but I will warn you who to fear fear Him who after he has killed as authority to to cast into hell I tell you fear Him Hebrews 10:31 says it is a fearful thing
To fall into the hands of the Lord hands of of the Living God um Sodom the people of Sodom were desperately wicked they were evil Beyond me measure they open reject God and and hated and deny him denied him both in the in in in in their
Confession the way they live they chose to oppose God though the works of God were obvious before them listen The Works of God was obvious they could not see it though salvation was near they could not discern it it is because they love the world and love the the
Pleasures of sin the people of Sodom would have have not lived too far from Abraham because when abrah Abraham and lot was having their discussion the Bible says that lot lifted up his eyes and he saw the well-watered plains of of of of of Sodom that means that that
Means that um Sodom was not too far from where God was moving in Abraham’s life and though God was moving and and near them and around them they could not see it they could not perceive it because they took pleasure they’ve took pleasure in a in
In in a lifestyle in a life of sin is it Incredible or you can have numerous people come into into CH into church and then leave with different opinions some come and they are so grateful to the word being tortured being moved being cut to the heart and some oh was
Boring you know you know unmoved L the the lack and lack of reverence the place of Sodom was near um God’s servant AB Abraham a place where God was moving God sends Angels into Sodom um but listen the people of Sodom were were doing a a crazy a a craziness amen and
God sent angels angels went in there but instead of you know mean heeding and and repenting they’re knocking kind of like our times amen they’re knocking send the men out send the men out to us they they lack any they lack reverence though God demonstrated though God demonstrated his compassion and and his
Willingness to save to save them let’s look at God’s man in Sodom um the man not God’s man the man in Sodom let’s look at lot lot was a was was with Abraham for a long time until a dispute AR arose they decided to go their separate ways you
Know here is God moving in in in Abraham’s life and and and lot is being blessed as a result of Abraham dispute arose and and and he decided that it is in his best best interest to leave the object of his Blessing don’t don’t don’t be quick to leave
Church you know people come in and we start getting blessed and we start believing in our own self I did it look what I done that TR didn’t do anything it’s it’s my tith that is listen God put us here God BR God brought us in into into the church and
And and and and and and to a place where he can he can add to us and and bless us when we rip ourselves apart it can be detrimental to our lives and faith and and and and and we see lot um remove himself from from
From um Abraham because he lifted up his eyes and he saw the well-watered plains of Sodom and what Esau was an illusion of prosperity it it looks luscious it looks it looks so inviting but it was an illusion of prosperity don’t fall for the illusions of of of prosperity there because there
Are many things out there that might look a appealing to the eyes but when you draw near he pitched his tent near Sodom but as we see that lot ended up taking his family right in the midst of it let’s not dwell on the outskirt of
Sin because the devil is not going to leave you there 2 Peter 27 say um suggests lot was righteous that tells me we can have an affection for God love his way his ways but lack reverence for him second Peter said second Peter 2:7 says I’m righteous
Lot and this is a scary idea that you can have a a form of righteousness and you can be um even saved to an extent and you still lock reverence till lack of reverence fear we can obtain salvation because salvation is Grace through faith and still lock
Lack the fear of the Lord lot was rescued from sadom dragged out before the destruction the listen Angels come and tell him listen lot this this place is going to turn into an oven let’s leave and lot lingered lot we need to go and lot was still lingering thank God he’s merciful
Amen because sometimes we linger and God and and and and Angels dragged him out Christians who still drink are living near Sodom if you are if if you are still um wrestling with um sexual sexually explicit things listen we living near Sodom harboring unforgiveness or hate or anger live near Sodom dishonoring
Parents now there’s a difference between dishonoring and disobeying disobey if my if if my fathers tell me do this and I and I said and and I don’t do and I don’t do it I disobeyed him but if you have brought me up a certain way and and show me a
Certain values and I’m here at University amen and I’m living contr contrary to to their values I might not necessarily be disobeying but you might be dishonoring you might not be disob disobeying but you might be this dishonoring say and the Bible says do honor your parents it’s incredible the Bible always
Go goes a little bit deeper the Devil is a deceiver we often think backsliding is when people do not have any love for God and listen or do not believe in in God anymore no it start by losing awe losing that reverence marriage don’t always fail because of a lack of Attraction
Attraction but but but let there be a a a loss of reverence said a husband can still look at his wife and think she’s good you know nice and and and stuff but the problems really start when there is a lack of reverence when when there’s a lack of of
Of respect things really really go sou really start going St Matthew 7 Matthew 7:21 says many will say to me in that they Lord Lord haven’t I done this and Lord haven’t I done that and Lord haven’t I done this and Jesus response is that depart from me you workers of
Unrighteousness I never knew you they still have some love for for Christ they were still willing to do something but the the lives lacked reverence they it lacked awe though lot was saved his family was destroyed his carnality continued to Bear fruits as he got drunk got his daughters
Pregnant and botted the moabites the the enemies of God the fear of the Lord is the fear of the Lord is our strength Amos 3:7 says surely the Lord God does not does nothing unless he Reveals His secret to his to the prophets his servants the prophets now
Look at Abraham’s relationship with God in Genesis 18 in Genesis 18 I’m going to par I’m going to paraphrase a amen just for the sake of time a when we have a reverence and a reverent fear for God the relationship is different Abraham was able the Bible says God doesn’t do
Anything without showing his people don’t telling his servants the prophet and God says Abe AB look what’s happening the people in Sodom are going they are going they are going nuts even though I warn them listen I am going to destroy I’m going to destroy destroy them and God instigated this
Conversation because there is a reverence there’s a respect there’s a relationship there based upon a reverend fear and and and Abraham was able to intercede and say God wait a minute what if there is 50 and God say okay if there’s 50 and ab say oh okay
Lord you know what what about 40 and Lord said okay what about 30 and it went all the way down to to 10 and and what I’m showing you that when we have a reverence for God there is a different dimension to our relationship with God
We can speak to God and and and and God will come in and and and and show us things and lead us and direct us there is a personal element um to to our relationship because God is looking for people who have a reverence reverence listen we are if we
Are going to take this city you’re going to take the nation this there has to be a reverence because God wants to work with us and and through us and if he’s going to show us what he’s going to do in these cities the relationship have to be more personal and
Intimate and it’s built upon reverence with God Abraham could have could could speak to God and say God lord what what if what it 4 now let’s look at us is there maybe somebody in our lives that we can intercede for you know Pastor there as a vision
You know Manchester and and I’m sure B bolon but listen there has to be a a a different dimension to our relationship there has to be a reverence because here you have two PE two men both righteous two different relationship with God Peter said listen as they were
Listening as as in Peter as they were listing the Faithful Men and those who obtain Mercy lot name was in there but if you look at the relationship he could not he didn’t have the same relationship with God that Abraham had because there was a reverence unwillingness to
Compromise it is from this place that we will find peace peace that will find comfort that will find rest and obtain hope is provision is direction see we we can have impact because the fear of the Lord grants us unrival access and input into God’s plan the fear of the Lord give us
Unrivaled access Joshua at the valley at the valley of a amen praise God that place made the son stood still he came out son stand still over the valley and it Stood Still you know if we are praying for something in the name of Jesus the Father Abraham Isaac is and
Jacob and we are declaring all son stood still there was something in his relationship with God Paul heading for for for Rome save the lives of save save the life of those with him he says your lives have been granted to me this night what because there was a a
Reverence there’s a there’s a there’s a reverence relationship there with God the Centurion um spoke to Jesus and and told him listen Lord don’t even don’t you don’t have to come into my house just speak the word he understood reverence Isaiah 40 29-31 says him he gives power to the
Weak and to those who have no might he increases strength even the Young young shall faint and be weary and the H H even the youth shall faint and be weary and the young men shall utterly fall but those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they shall Mount upon and
Wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint it says he gives the power he he increases strength it says those who wait upon the Lord or the idea is those who who have a a reverence for god um shall be
Renewed so let’s look at three points and we’re going to pray and we’re going to believe God this this this this this evening how to implement this reverent fear of God in our life the fear of the Lord means giving God your undivided attention listen when we decide that you know what
I’m going to pray all man of Hell break loose in our mind and in our lives and in on our phone the moment we decide it’s prayer time and and and sometimes we get distracted back and forth and and stuff and we know we are Christians we can we
Can we we can pray anywhere but listen there has to be a time where our attention is is getting our undivided attention Psalms 8611 says teach me your way Lord that I may rely on your faithfulness and give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name the
Psalmist is say give me an undivided heart listen we live in a time where it where where we are entertainment driven everything is cater is catering to to our entertainment but as Christians if we’re going to cultivate um the fear of the Lord we have to have a time where our
Attention is totally fixed on him we have to have an undiv we have to be able to give him our undivided attention know God is the Bible tells us that God is a jealous God listen he desires that time with you he doesn’t always want to share it
Amen he wants he Jesus said when you’re praying go into your closet and close the door God wants that that that time fear of the Lord it means giving God that undivided attention listen we need that in this time because we live in a time where we we there’s so many
Things pulling us especially mothers amen your time is so precious and it’s hard it’s difficult managing CH juggling children looking after the home and and and and and and everything else that come that comes with it it’s difficult but you know to find that little time where you know it’s just you and
Him praise God remember and one of the things that I I’ve been trying cultivating it myself to do is when I come home okay babe boys come when Daddy come home anyways it’s fighting time anyway so you know um give me the voice wife go go take some time to pray for
Me giving giving him your undivided attention the fear of the Lord me means giving God your unrivaled are unrivaled are we there are always developments and and technology and and things that just blow our minds but Len but but listen we have to we have to learn to put to hold
Christ in our we must be always am amazed by by him because you know because there’s so many things out there that that that is drawing our not just our attention but has captured our hearts Psalms 47:2 says the fear of the um for the Lord most high is awesome he
Is a great king over all the Earth listen we need to hold him in all he deserves the glory he deserves the the the the praise he deserves all um um to to to to to be exalted we know we love our children and we should should do love your wife love
Your husband and and that but listen our love for Jes Jesus should be unrivaled an unrival unrival are the fear of the Lord final one the fear of the Lord means giving God your unparalleled Allegiance what we are committed to our commit our commitment I’m plug I’m plugging in for pastor here it
Is so difficult to find people people to do to to do you know Church stuff Outreach amen there someone say out reach amen um serving in in in serving in in in in church volunteers but in our personal personal life hey we call we call you you’re there amen 7:
A.m. our family our family calls us and we’re not saying we should overlook these things these are these unnecessary just to be around your unsafe family amen but when it comes to do not let do not let it rival your your allegiance to God for for many people for many people you
Do they don’t need much Excuse excuse to miss church amen I broke my eyelash I can’t make it amen can’t make it son I can’t make I broke it I can’t make it Monday morning in work brushing that same but you know mean and sometimes our our allegiances can be Misplaced unparalleled Allegiance Deuteronomy 10:12 says and now Israel what does the Lord your God require of you but to fear the lord your God to walk in his ways to walk in all his ways and to love him to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
Soul to serve the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul Deuteronomy I gave them this one Deuteronomy 2021 says you shall fear the lord your God you shall serve him and hold fast to him and by his name you shall swear he is your praise is he is
Your god who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have have seen the fear of the Lord is crucial to us moving in and to us moving in in any Arena of of of our of of our Our God using Us in in in any
Arena of our life if we are going to take bolt and if we’re going to take Manchester you know young men here um if you’re if God is going to use you listen the affair of the Lord is essential let’s not get caught up with the Rel religious
World people are doing all sorts of things to to draw a crowd and and in it dishonor dishonor God God wants that relationship with each and every one of you and God has God has purchased you each and every one of you um at a price and he’s placed you
In in in a in a family and and maybe God has placed you there for a reason maybe God has placed you there for this time and for the for for a reason that you can like Abraham say Lord maybe if there is some hope for this person this brother this this this
Crazy cousin and maybe you are there and and and and and and God is looking for this relationship so that you can have that you can have that that that that um communication where where God where you can say to God God please stop save this stop this save save him save
Her last year I I I had the UN the the the uncomfortable um think of you know I did a i a funeral for my church um last year um this lady came in she started on online I said I was I was I was done with social media
Amen it just takes too much of my time I I do I do not have the heart for it God bless you all who who who are able I can’t keep up with it at all so I I I’m like I’m done with it but someone
Messaged me at the right time and and say Pastor I’ve been following and I want to come to church and I say yeah yeah come come man and she came in came into church um gave her life to Christ and she just been an incredibly incredible blessing and then um then she
She she she she she as she gave her life to Christ she invited her mom said Mom I found found my my my church in Manchester and you know God is helping me and I’m I’m totally committed to this and her mom come came last January and
And and she gave her life at the same time and then and then you know I mean discovered that she had cancer and then you know we have to go pass on later later on but she came in and she had a reverence for God and she was able to
Intercede listen God wants there are people there are souls um attached to each and every one of us but there has to be a re for God to work through US lot life though he was saved was unfruitful lost his wife does did stuff with his daughters and from that birth the
Enemies of God that harassed God’s people for a long time and all we see with Abraham say blessings and fruitfulness you look at at these at these men who who who revered who have have reverence for God there is a fruitfulness attached to this and each and every one of
You God has a plan for you and before I close I’ve got a special message for mothers and Mo mothers amen I was going to go somewhere leave that alone um God has a blessing for you as you fear God and and as you honor him
And and and and and submit to your role there is a blessing that God will release upon you um I didn’t give give the guys this this um but first Chronicles 4:18 it gives the account you know you know the part that you don’t like to read
This person be got that person be that one yeah amen um and in there we see the dot um Bitner bitna the daughter of pharaoh now when now this is the woman that took Moses and and and rescued Mo Moses from the river now in Genesis she was not given a name
But in re but but but in in Chronicles um she was given a name and and and scholars believe and scholars believe that she um her name was changed from her Egyptian name to this name which means daughter of God and because she had a reverent fear of God and she
Submitt to her role as a mother and um mothered um Mo Moses god changed her name and she ended up in the lineage of Christ she was from the tribe the tribe of Judah and uh I believe that it said um in I read the a commentary one of those
Hebrew commentary it said um that um because Moses was not a son a a son to you and you made him your son you were not a daughter to me and I made you my daughter because she had reverence she did not she she she did not um um take
She she did not regard her place as as as as you know a princess in Egypt in Egypt but she had reverence fear for God rescued this child mothered him and God give her a new name and a new identity God has a plan for
You God has a God has a plan to use your life I’m speaking to um speaking to everyone but that that message particularly for for for for women for for those who who M listen God has a plan as you have a reverent fear and as
You surrender to to him as as um um in in this in in this place Len God will release a blessing upon upon you so let’s so as I close the fear of the Lord is our strength because it opens to us new identity all it opens to us um a
Personal and intimate relationship with the one who gave all for us and with that every head bowed every eye closed this this afternoon amen this evening I I I I really sense the the the the purpose of God um that God really wants to move and and and he has
A plan and a Destiny for for for this church you’re best days are ahead but essential to God’s moving and and and and and is working um in and through as if you know favor is going there in all them in all them and I believe many many more young men will
