"Hope and Blessing for the New Year" RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole
2025 has been a hard year for many, filled with sadness, disappointment, the loss of a dear family member, suffering from physical health issues or a severe setback and injustice. What does the Lord have to say about hope in the midst of these hard things? Ps. 66:8-12 describes a prayer of declaration in the midst of harsh trials and a promise of blessing. "Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard, who keeps our soul among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved. For You, O God, have proved us; You have refined us as silver is refined, You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our back, You have caused men to ride over our heads, we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out to rich fulfillment." "God be merciful to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us. " (Is. 67:1) This is our prayer and declaration for 2026 - that God will secure us in His care and blessing and bring us into rich fulfillment. (abundance) Buy God On Trial

Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul.
00:00:28.579 --> 00:00:32.679
Father God, we thank you that this war has ended because you have won,
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.259
even though as you defeated Satan on the cross and rose from the dead.
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:38.579
So thank you for this year.
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.119
Thank you for the revelation of the new year to come. We praise you and bless
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:48.839
you and thank you that you have offered and allowed us to enter into this new year, 2026.
00:00:49.279 --> 00:00:52.719
And we thank you, Lord, for the grace, the wisdom, the counsel,
00:00:52.899 --> 00:00:56.819
the direction of God that you give us discerning of spirits and wisdom that
00:00:56.819 --> 00:00:58.699
we would not be caught off guard or deceived.
00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:01.599
We thank you, Lord, for the divine protection over our families,
00:01:01.659 --> 00:01:04.439
over all that pertains to us because this is war.
00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:07.039
So we're asking that no weapon formed against us will prosper.
00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:11.119
We know that you are faithful to complete the work you have begun in us.
00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:15.739
So let each one be encouraged in this matter, in the promises of God,
00:01:15.899 --> 00:01:22.139
because it is faith in the promises of God as Abraham knew that was counter-tempered righteousness.
00:01:22.139 --> 00:01:27.719
Lord, let us believe you and follow you, Father, in Jesus' name, in this new year, 2026.
00:01:28.792 --> 00:01:32.312
Hey, hope in the new year. Is there any hope for this new year?
00:01:32.372 --> 00:01:34.012
Oh, all kinds of hope. Yeah?
00:01:34.392 --> 00:01:37.992
Well, you know, wait a minute, though. Before you look at the new year, look at the old year.
00:01:38.092 --> 00:01:41.412
I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of people listening tonight or tomorrow or whenever
00:01:41.412 --> 00:01:45.892
they're listening that have had some setbacks and disappointments.
00:01:45.912 --> 00:01:48.192
Oh, yeah, and tragedies, heartbreaks.
00:01:48.372 --> 00:01:53.952
Yeah, loss of loved ones. I mean, every year is full of these kinds of challenges
00:01:53.952 --> 00:01:55.552
and trials and tribulations.
00:01:56.172 --> 00:01:58.752
Some of them are expected. Some of them are not. But, you know,
00:01:58.832 --> 00:02:02.412
they create a lot of anxiety and fear in people, hope deferred,
00:02:02.432 --> 00:02:06.312
and all of that. So the loss of opportunity, the loss of suffering.
00:02:06.452 --> 00:02:09.412
And, you know, some people, the biggest suffering, I think, for a lot of people
00:02:09.412 --> 00:02:12.012
is the super injustices that have happened this year.
00:02:12.092 --> 00:02:15.752
You see a lot of people hurting, violent attacks upon people,
00:02:16.272 --> 00:02:21.012
senseless destruction of life, liberty, and, you know, property, whatnot.
00:02:22.012 --> 00:02:27.192
Yeah, the world is just saturated with injustice, probably like never before.
00:02:27.192 --> 00:02:34.732
So now we set our hearts, our eyes on the promises of God, because God is the
00:02:34.732 --> 00:02:40.152
one who blesses us and keeps us and causes us to walk in that place of life and hope.
00:02:40.252 --> 00:02:42.792
And, you know, with God, there is that hope.
00:02:42.932 --> 00:02:48.192
That's the only place we can find it. So, yeah. So where do we look for this hope?
00:02:48.332 --> 00:02:52.092
Well, I just think of, you know, as we reflect on this past year,
00:02:52.352 --> 00:02:57.032
you know, a lot of things that we hoped for and were expecting maybe didn't
00:02:57.032 --> 00:02:59.132
happen. Some did, some didn't.
00:02:59.572 --> 00:03:03.992
Things sometimes can change tragically so quickly.
00:03:05.107 --> 00:03:09.047
And Proverbs 13, 12, it says, hope deferred makes the heart sick.
00:03:09.407 --> 00:03:13.447
But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. And when the Bible is talking
00:03:13.447 --> 00:03:17.467
about hope, it's talking about, well, I hope everything works out.
00:03:17.587 --> 00:03:18.607
It's not talking about that.
00:03:18.827 --> 00:03:21.627
It's a hope that it's an anticipation.
00:03:22.267 --> 00:03:29.827
It's an expectation or confidence in God, in the promises of God.
00:03:30.067 --> 00:03:34.607
Because you put your trust in other people totally and it's not going to work.
00:03:36.007 --> 00:03:40.627
But you have that anticipation, and it's not in vain.
00:03:40.807 --> 00:03:45.487
It's a sure hope that we have in the Lord because the Lord, Jesus Christ,
00:03:45.627 --> 00:03:50.827
is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and he's right there with us all the time.
00:03:50.907 --> 00:03:55.047
That's exactly the point. We have to know that we know that we're not alone.
00:03:55.267 --> 00:04:00.467
And in this world of isolation, disconnections, all of the things that the enemy's
00:04:00.467 --> 00:04:02.787
trying to do to separate us from one another, from ourselves,
00:04:02.967 --> 00:04:06.087
and even from God, We need to know that God has not changed.
00:04:06.307 --> 00:04:09.947
He is the same yesterday, today, forever. He's a good God. He says blessings
00:04:09.947 --> 00:04:14.427
and peace, even in the angelic announcement to the shepherds,
00:04:14.587 --> 00:04:18.267
peace, goodwill towards men. So we have got...
00:04:19.088 --> 00:04:22.668
Opportunities and options here. We can look at the hope deferred.
00:04:22.748 --> 00:04:23.968
We can look at the negative.
00:04:24.228 --> 00:04:28.888
And you know, that's really tempting to do because it's so easy to just rehearse
00:04:28.888 --> 00:04:33.008
the negative, the problem, the thing that didn't work last time and why should it work this.
00:04:33.068 --> 00:04:35.768
And we have the power, there's death in life and the power of the tongue.
00:04:35.968 --> 00:04:41.808
And so a lot of times, this is probably a good place to start is in the mouth.
00:04:42.188 --> 00:04:46.768
Because with our mouth, we say, well, it never works. It's never going to work.
00:04:47.228 --> 00:04:50.508
You know, it didn't work. You know, whatever the negative curse you're putting
00:04:50.508 --> 00:04:53.028
on something is removing a blessing.
00:04:53.228 --> 00:04:57.468
And so, the blessing comes from trusting God, declaring goodness.
00:04:57.668 --> 00:05:01.968
Like, when the Old Testament, you know, patriarchs bless their children, for example.
00:05:02.328 --> 00:05:06.068
Jacob in Genesis chapter 49. Yeah. And Moses. It's a good thing to read.
00:05:06.148 --> 00:05:10.848
He was giving prophetic words and blessing over all his children.
00:05:11.248 --> 00:05:13.208
And you know, those things came to pass. But you know, nowadays,
00:05:13.208 --> 00:05:18.148
it's sad beyond words that we don't even have fathers, many of us,
00:05:18.228 --> 00:05:20.608
and you don't have a father that will bless you.
00:05:20.708 --> 00:05:25.748
And this is really a vital, important part of life, is that you find someone
00:05:25.748 --> 00:05:29.708
in your world that will speak a blessing over you.
00:05:29.948 --> 00:05:33.188
And if you can't find anybody, speak it over yourself.
00:05:33.488 --> 00:05:37.668
Read the Word of God over yourself. But the reason we don't do that so many
00:05:37.668 --> 00:05:41.488
times is because we don't understand what's really going on in our lives.
00:05:41.588 --> 00:05:48.048
And I think Psalm 66 is a pretty good example of, you know, a good summation of what goes on.
00:05:48.448 --> 00:05:53.408
He starts this Psalm 66, verse 1, "...make a joyful shout to God, all the earth."
00:05:53.621 --> 00:05:57.441
Sing out the honor of his name. Make his praise glorious. Say to God,
00:05:57.821 --> 00:05:59.801
how awesome are your works.
00:06:00.221 --> 00:06:03.761
Through your greatness of your power, your enemies shall submit themselves to
00:06:03.761 --> 00:06:05.881
you. Now, how many of us start out our day with that?
00:06:06.261 --> 00:06:08.661
No, oh no, I've got to do this. I got to do that. I'm running late.
00:06:09.041 --> 00:06:10.921
You know, am I going to have enough time to get here and this and doing?
00:06:11.361 --> 00:06:15.201
So he's talking about blessing God. And you know, when you want God to bless
00:06:15.201 --> 00:06:16.841
you, it's good to praise and bless him.
00:06:17.381 --> 00:06:20.661
But he says in verse five, come and see all the works of the Lord.
00:06:20.861 --> 00:06:25.261
He is awesome in his doings towards the sons of men. Is this our attitude?
00:06:25.641 --> 00:06:28.821
To receive a blessing, you have to be prepared to receive that blessing.
00:06:29.081 --> 00:06:33.321
And I just love this way it goes, because this is this Psalm 66,
00:06:33.761 --> 00:06:37.641
is root 66, you can remember it there, you know, verse 8, oh,
00:06:37.801 --> 00:06:42.001
bless God, all you people, and make his voice, the voice of his praise to be
00:06:42.001 --> 00:06:43.781
heard. So again, he's talking about praise.
00:06:44.301 --> 00:06:47.461
Now it says, he keeps our soul among the living.
00:06:47.701 --> 00:06:52.701
So we've all been kept this year in the land of the living, among the living,
00:06:52.921 --> 00:06:55.161
and does not allow our feet to be moved.
00:06:55.241 --> 00:06:57.981
Well, some of us may feel like we've slipped into a pit somewhere,
00:06:58.021 --> 00:07:01.601
but God is your answer to get out of that pit. He is the way.
00:07:01.741 --> 00:07:04.021
Jesus is the way. But here, listen to this, verse 10.
00:07:04.421 --> 00:07:06.741
For you, O God, have proved us.
00:07:07.241 --> 00:07:11.781
You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net.
00:07:12.181 --> 00:07:17.081
You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads.
00:07:17.581 --> 00:07:22.341
We went through the fire and through the water, but you have brought us out into rich fulfillment.
00:07:22.841 --> 00:07:27.821
So the whole purpose and process here of allowing us to be stretched and tested
00:07:27.821 --> 00:07:33.441
and chastened and all of the things that Satan loves to do and turn it over
00:07:33.441 --> 00:07:35.441
and make it look like God is doing this to us,
00:07:35.581 --> 00:07:38.141
but God is permitting it that we might grow,
00:07:38.541 --> 00:07:44.721
that we might be qualified, you know, to receive, enlarged, to receive this blessing.
00:07:44.721 --> 00:07:49.621
This life is not a 50-yard dash or a 100-yard dash. It's a marathon.
00:07:50.434 --> 00:07:54.754
You know, it's a long-term thing, and the thing is, Hebrews 12.
00:07:55.394 --> 00:07:57.714
Keep running. You know, keep looking to Jesus.
00:07:58.284 --> 00:08:02.784
And just keep moving forward with what he is giving you to do.
00:08:02.804 --> 00:08:07.604
Praise God and bless him, because when you declare those good things over your
00:08:07.604 --> 00:08:10.124
life, there's death and life in your tongue.
00:08:10.244 --> 00:08:12.524
If you declare good things, this is going to be a great day.
00:08:12.684 --> 00:08:16.484
I know that God has got this under control. I'm not going to worry.
00:08:16.644 --> 00:08:19.744
I declare that thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
00:08:20.024 --> 00:08:25.684
These kinds of pronouncements, you know, people are too quiet in their own lives
00:08:25.684 --> 00:08:30.104
about themselves and about what they declare. because they don't realize the power of their words.
00:08:30.344 --> 00:08:34.184
Yeah, it's just like we shoot ourselves in the foot spiritually with our words.
00:08:34.184 --> 00:08:35.724
We say, well, it is what it is.
00:08:36.244 --> 00:08:39.784
Oh, everybody's getting sick. I guess I feel some symptoms too.
00:08:40.264 --> 00:08:44.064
It's like we bring it on ourselves. Well, it's negative.
00:08:44.384 --> 00:08:48.724
It's negativity, and negativity is not from heaven. I will bless the Lord at all times. Yes, great.
00:08:48.904 --> 00:08:54.004
His praise shall continually be in my mouth, and that's something we can all do.
00:08:54.204 --> 00:08:57.884
This year. Everything that has breath, praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
00:08:58.064 --> 00:09:01.144
So if you're breathing, you need to be praising God.
00:09:01.264 --> 00:09:04.144
Well, you know, not only that, but if you're happy and not negative,
00:09:04.144 --> 00:09:09.164
your body's going to be percolating a lot better, breathing a lot better, more hope going on.
00:09:09.264 --> 00:09:14.564
Your system isn't overwhelmed and pressed down with all of these negative words.
00:09:14.744 --> 00:09:18.884
And, you know, it's really, to me, as I'm getting older.
00:09:20.444 --> 00:09:24.004
I'm really, I can't be around too much negativity and people who are,
00:09:24.004 --> 00:09:28.304
Or, well, you know, it's got to be, you know, God says, yeah,
00:09:28.384 --> 00:09:31.744
there's a lot of bad stuff out there. You can focus on that all day long.
00:09:31.844 --> 00:09:35.224
You can scroll through that all day long. Rabbit trail after rabbit trail after
00:09:35.224 --> 00:09:36.864
rabbit trail into the evil.
00:09:37.124 --> 00:09:41.304
Or you can read the Word of God and know that even in all this muck and misery,
00:09:41.504 --> 00:09:43.184
God has got a plan and a purpose.
00:09:43.344 --> 00:09:45.024
So if he's allowing Satan to
00:09:45.024 --> 00:09:49.844
test us why, so that you may be approved and refined as silver is refined.
00:09:50.344 --> 00:09:55.764
He's, you know, God is the deliverer. Satan is the one who sets us in the pit.
00:09:55.944 --> 00:09:57.944
God is the one who rescues us from that pit.
00:09:59.084 --> 00:10:02.264
And the thing is, too, in the midst of all this,
00:10:02.965 --> 00:10:08.025
I mean, the fact is, listen, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow
00:10:08.025 --> 00:10:11.725
of death, Psalm 23, I will fear no evil.
00:10:11.965 --> 00:10:16.485
And that's the thing, too, is there's fear on every side. Oh, anxiety.
00:10:16.905 --> 00:10:22.065
From the Weather Channel to the internet, everything. It's just fear,
00:10:22.185 --> 00:10:24.065
fear, fear. And God says no.
00:10:24.665 --> 00:10:28.585
It's so heavy. It's so heavy. It's so heavy, the words, the words.
00:10:28.725 --> 00:10:32.145
And so you have to kind of turn that stuff off. Don't listen to the Weather
00:10:32.145 --> 00:10:34.985
Channel. They're just pumping anxiety into the atmosphere.
00:10:35.185 --> 00:10:42.125
You know, they're dumping this pollution on us. There's a sinkhole right around the corner, careful.
00:10:42.545 --> 00:10:47.225
You know, it's like, my goodness. You know, how does David say it?
00:10:47.265 --> 00:10:49.425
He kind of like cheers himself up in the Lord.
00:10:49.545 --> 00:10:53.185
Yeah, David encouraged himself in the Lord.
00:10:53.405 --> 00:10:56.925
And sometimes, you know, you don't have people around you patting you on your
00:10:56.925 --> 00:11:00.325
back. Maybe they're stabbing you on the back instead of patting you on the back.
00:11:00.525 --> 00:11:05.345
Yeah, yeah. But you can encourage yourself in the Lord. How do we do that?
00:11:05.805 --> 00:11:09.305
Lord, you've got a purpose in all this. You're faithful.
00:11:10.525 --> 00:11:13.065
You're bringing me through all this. Well, here's a good encouragement.
00:11:13.225 --> 00:11:18.925
At the end of Psalm 66, verse 16, he says, Come and hear all you who fear God,
00:11:19.545 --> 00:11:21.965
and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
00:11:22.565 --> 00:11:26.865
I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
00:11:26.885 --> 00:11:28.025
That means I praised him.
00:11:28.265 --> 00:11:32.305
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the lord will not hear me okay let's stop
00:11:32.305 --> 00:11:38.745
there for just a second if i regard iniquity hostility bitterness revenge resentment
00:11:38.745 --> 00:11:42.465
negative offense if i if i regard these things in my heart,
00:11:43.026 --> 00:11:46.926
the iniquity, whether it's a sin that's been committed against you or something
00:11:46.926 --> 00:11:50.586
that you're feeling bad and guilty for doing yourself, if you're regarding that
00:11:50.586 --> 00:11:57.086
your heart is going to be heavy and broken and feel unworthy of receiving God's blessings.
00:11:57.406 --> 00:12:02.546
He says, so here's the way we enter into the new year is to get rid of the junk
00:12:02.546 --> 00:12:05.746
that we have been dealing with all year, which is unforgiveness,
00:12:06.146 --> 00:12:07.366
bitterness, hostile words.
00:12:07.406 --> 00:12:09.786
If people have said words against you, if they've treated you unkindly,
00:12:09.866 --> 00:12:14.006
if they rejected you, betrayed you, ripped you off, walked out of your life,
00:12:14.106 --> 00:12:17.986
whatever they have done, the best thing you can do for yourself is forgive them.
00:12:18.386 --> 00:12:22.886
Just release them from your judgment. Say, God, this is your judgment. You're the judge.
00:12:23.186 --> 00:12:25.986
I'm coming to heaven as the plaintiff and presenting my case.
00:12:26.126 --> 00:12:28.926
Jesus knows the whole story. He is a faithful witness.
00:12:29.426 --> 00:12:32.386
I'm forgiving them. That means I release them from my judgment.
00:12:33.086 --> 00:12:37.966
You will not even believe how much better you're going to feel if you just open
00:12:37.966 --> 00:12:40.126
your mouth and say, God, I forgive them.
00:12:41.306 --> 00:12:44.306
And that doesn't mean you have to say, okay, well, that's fine.
00:12:44.386 --> 00:12:48.006
They just raped me and ripped me off, and that's fine because I'm a Christian
00:12:48.006 --> 00:12:49.106
and I can't get mad at anybody.
00:12:49.326 --> 00:12:52.666
No, it means now you're going to go to the real judge. You're going to go to
00:12:52.666 --> 00:12:54.186
the real court. You're going to get some real justice.
00:12:54.326 --> 00:12:59.266
And with that, if you trust God that he's good all the time and he doesn't waver
00:12:59.266 --> 00:13:03.386
in his justice or righteousness and that he executes righteousness and justice
00:13:03.386 --> 00:13:04.766
for all who are oppressed,
00:13:04.966 --> 00:13:09.686
then you can rest your case and you can turn it over and let Jesus Christ testify
00:13:09.686 --> 00:13:12.206
on your behalf so you don't have to even defend yourself.
00:13:12.406 --> 00:13:16.786
And you can realize and receive that revelation of God's forgiveness.
00:13:17.026 --> 00:13:21.946
And once you know that, then you can ask the Lord to remove the demonic judgments
00:13:21.946 --> 00:13:23.806
Satan has put upon your health,
00:13:24.146 --> 00:13:27.986
your heart, your relationships, your finances, because what Satan does is he
00:13:27.986 --> 00:13:31.786
gets us to feel bad and guilty and then he judges us, putting his demonic judgment
00:13:31.786 --> 00:13:36.026
upon us for feeling bad and guilty as if it's a penalty because we're to blame.
00:13:36.226 --> 00:13:41.546
And so the demonic judgments weigh us down. So you can't get justice until you get rid of
00:13:41.982 --> 00:13:44.822
the lies, and forgive the people and get it into the court of heaven.
00:13:44.922 --> 00:13:47.762
Right now is the perfect time to get rid of all the clutter.
00:13:48.542 --> 00:13:53.202
And sometimes clutter creeps into our houses, creeps into our garages,
00:13:53.822 --> 00:13:56.642
in our yards or whatever, into our minds. Our car trunks.
00:13:57.222 --> 00:14:02.042
The clutter of bitterness, the clutter of fear, the clutter of past mistakes.
00:14:02.362 --> 00:14:05.702
Or regrets. Regrets being haunted by past mistakes.
00:14:06.142 --> 00:14:12.182
Release those to the Lord. You know what? But people who live in regret, they live in the past.
00:14:12.402 --> 00:14:15.922
People who live in anxiety, worry about the future, they live in the future.
00:14:16.162 --> 00:14:20.622
But we don't have grace to live in the future, and we don't have grace to deal with the past.
00:14:20.802 --> 00:14:24.482
All we really have grace to do right now, and it's not that hard.
00:14:24.502 --> 00:14:28.402
To live right now. In the moment, in this moment. That doesn't mean you don't plan.
00:14:28.622 --> 00:14:32.002
You know, you got some food in the cupboard for tomorrow. It doesn't mean you
00:14:32.002 --> 00:14:35.442
don't plan things. It just means that you're living, rejoicing,
00:14:35.642 --> 00:14:43.182
drinking in the moment, taking all the grace and goodness and joy and peace and hope.
00:14:43.728 --> 00:14:45.948
And blessing and victory out
00:14:45.948 --> 00:14:50.348
of this moment that you can squeeze out of it because this is the moment.
00:14:50.488 --> 00:14:53.688
And then once you do that, then this is going to be a good moment for you to
00:14:53.688 --> 00:14:55.468
turn back and look at and you say, I like that.
00:14:55.608 --> 00:14:58.148
That was good. Let's do that again. Let's live like that.
00:14:58.328 --> 00:15:02.808
Bible says God has pleasure in the prosperity of a servant. It doesn't mean
00:15:02.808 --> 00:15:05.268
he's going to make you multimillionaire overnight or anything.
00:15:06.068 --> 00:15:09.408
Prosperity means there's a fullness. There's a fullness of joy,
00:15:09.688 --> 00:15:17.968
that your needs are met, and he gives abundance of grace and strength and peace and joy.
00:15:18.128 --> 00:15:23.928
Well, and he's notâ Other people need that because we haveâhe wants us to have abundance.
00:15:24.528 --> 00:15:28.948
I think bodyâI know, body, soul, and spirit. Abundant life. Isn't that he said,
00:15:29.028 --> 00:15:31.388
I've died to come that you might have life and life more abundantly?
00:15:31.668 --> 00:15:37.068
So if we have fullness, fullness of joy, was it? And at his right hand,
00:15:37.128 --> 00:15:39.128
our pleasures are forevermore. Yeah, the fullness of joy.
00:15:39.308 --> 00:15:42.968
People need that overflow of joy. Yeah, it's a discipline, though.
00:15:43.148 --> 00:15:46.648
It's a discipline because you know what? We have been programmed to be negative,
00:15:46.948 --> 00:15:51.468
down, oppressed, heavy, weary, sick, tired, fatigued, all these things.
00:15:51.588 --> 00:15:55.468
And part of that comes from the way we live and treat our bodies and the things we eat.
00:15:55.608 --> 00:15:59.368
We get all just worn out. And then you go back to the diet, lose five pounds.
00:15:59.588 --> 00:16:04.268
Then you put yourself under another legalistic bondage. if we would just rejoice
00:16:04.268 --> 00:16:08.628
in God, eat the food He set before us, and especially the food He's prescribed
00:16:08.628 --> 00:16:11.428
for us, you know, go back to Genesis and check out what it is,
00:16:11.548 --> 00:16:14.308
and just be thankful, rejoice,
00:16:15.128 --> 00:16:17.808
and live in the grace that He gives you for this moment.
00:16:17.888 --> 00:16:20.968
Sufficient, He says, unto the day is the evil thereof.
00:16:21.068 --> 00:16:24.008
He says, and as thy strength, so shall thy day be.
00:16:24.188 --> 00:16:28.588
So God is strength for the upright, and you can have a victorious conquering
00:16:28.588 --> 00:16:29.468
year, but you cannot rejoice.
00:16:30.297 --> 00:16:35.217
Look at things with your eyes, or go with the way it feels, or what people are
00:16:35.217 --> 00:16:39.957
saying, you have to go with what you know, and that comes out of knowing what
00:16:39.957 --> 00:16:42.137
you know in your spirit from the Word of God.
00:16:42.297 --> 00:16:45.637
So, the soul and the spirit don't always see things the same way.
00:16:45.997 --> 00:16:51.817
Back to Proverbs 13, 12, where it says, Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
00:16:51.957 --> 00:16:54.137
and when the desire comes, it's the tree of life.
00:16:54.797 --> 00:16:59.677
A lot of us, okay, hope deferred, it's like you're hoping, you've been waiting,
00:16:59.677 --> 00:17:03.337
You've been waiting for that son, that daughter to come back to the Lord.
00:17:03.557 --> 00:17:07.837
You've been waiting for that husband to get straightened out or that wife to get straightened out.
00:17:08.017 --> 00:17:12.337
God, I'm just pleading with you. I'm begging you and I'm crying out to you.
00:17:12.497 --> 00:17:15.697
And he's heard your cry. He's hearing your cry.
00:17:15.977 --> 00:17:18.997
And you haven't seen the results yet.
00:17:19.317 --> 00:17:24.297
But it's coming. And I thought, oh, yeah, okay, it's coming.
00:17:24.457 --> 00:17:28.457
But keep yourself encouraged in the Lord. One way to do that.
00:17:29.677 --> 00:17:32.517
The answer is coming. The answer is coming.
00:17:32.697 --> 00:17:36.177
One way to do that, you know, is to, and you said cry out to the Lord.
00:17:36.297 --> 00:17:39.057
You're kind of like beseeching, begging, you know, trying to make a deal.
00:17:39.137 --> 00:17:40.997
A lot of people are trying to make a deal with God and, you know,
00:17:41.077 --> 00:17:41.977
whatever all that looks like.
00:17:42.157 --> 00:17:45.057
Sometimes it's just being praising God and being thankful. Well,
00:17:45.177 --> 00:17:47.997
you know, because here's the deal. You know what God's will is.
00:17:48.297 --> 00:17:51.977
His will is that they come back to the truth. His will is that they come back
00:17:51.977 --> 00:17:54.137
and be reconciled to their families.
00:17:54.657 --> 00:17:57.737
That's His will. And so you can, if you're a smart prayer.
00:17:58.492 --> 00:18:02.992
If you want to get this done more quickly, then declare it instead of,
00:18:03.112 --> 00:18:07.472
Oh God, please say, Lord God, my son is coming home.
00:18:07.732 --> 00:18:13.452
I speak truth in life. I pray God right now that he'll come back to his senses.
00:18:13.612 --> 00:18:17.272
I declare it in Jesus' name that he's not going to be hoodwinked any longer.
00:18:17.412 --> 00:18:20.912
Open his eyes. You get more specific in your praying.
00:18:21.412 --> 00:18:24.972
Open his eyes, soften his heart, turn his heart towards home.
00:18:25.492 --> 00:18:31.492
Pray verses or pray in tongues if you do that. and just begin to not so much beg.
00:18:31.712 --> 00:18:37.612
And, you know, God says, Jesus says, I give you power and authority over all the power of the enemy.
00:18:37.692 --> 00:18:40.372
And that power and authority comes through your mouth.
00:18:40.612 --> 00:18:43.012
And he says there's death and life and the power of the tongue.
00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:49.292
When God created the world, he spoke those words and brought forth what we see all around us.
00:18:49.512 --> 00:18:52.312
Let there be light, let there be stars, let there be animals.
00:18:52.552 --> 00:18:59.472
And so the thing is, stop mumbling, murmuring, grumbling, complaining, and speaking.
00:18:59.832 --> 00:19:04.152
Every time you speak negative things like, oh, you know, I'm getting sick.
00:19:04.152 --> 00:19:05.212
Oh, it's not going to work.
00:19:05.472 --> 00:19:09.192
You are giving words to the devil to use against you.
00:19:09.492 --> 00:19:12.652
And I'm not saying, oh, you know, you can't ever tell everybody anything.
00:19:12.892 --> 00:19:14.472
You know, we just got to pretend like it's fine.
00:19:14.772 --> 00:19:18.692
No, you go and look at things in the spirit the way God wants them and declare
00:19:18.692 --> 00:19:20.212
those things to be as God.
00:19:20.632 --> 00:19:23.592
You know, it says for Abraham, how many years did he wait for that baby.
00:19:23.792 --> 00:19:29.432
And he didn't, you know, go off and mumble. And he says, he wavered not at the promises of God.
00:19:29.632 --> 00:19:32.892
And that was accounted to him for righteousness, too. He didn't give up and
00:19:32.892 --> 00:19:35.392
say, you know what? I'm done. I'm done waiting. I'm done on God.
00:19:35.472 --> 00:19:36.272
This God thing isn't working.
00:19:36.512 --> 00:19:42.332
He just kept abiding and being and going forward, and God kept his promises.
00:19:43.272 --> 00:19:49.012
Isaiah chapter 61. Now, this is a reference to, it's a reference to Isaiah himself.
00:19:49.072 --> 00:19:54.572
It's a reference to Jesus and is a reference to us too as his people.
00:19:55.405 --> 00:19:59.345
Going forward in the spirit of the living God. He says in Isaiah 61,
00:19:59.505 --> 00:20:01.945
verse 1, the spirit of the Lord God is upon me.
00:20:02.325 --> 00:20:09.045
It's upon Jesus, right? It was upon Jesus. And now he's released his spirit to us.
00:20:09.745 --> 00:20:15.145
His spirit is upon us, in us, with us, guiding us, helping us,
00:20:15.225 --> 00:20:20.425
strengthening us, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor.
00:20:20.505 --> 00:20:24.905
That's primary reference to Jesus, but that's our job, too. He's transferred,
00:20:26.021 --> 00:20:30.821
To us, his ministry. He said, you're doing it now.
00:20:32.001 --> 00:20:35.081
I was here, I was here three and a half years that did it. Now I've sent the
00:20:35.081 --> 00:20:38.101
Holy Spirit. You pick up where I've left off. Amen.
00:20:38.461 --> 00:20:42.501
And he says, what? Preach good tidings to the poor. Yeah.
00:20:43.161 --> 00:20:46.621
Declare good news. A lot of the poor don't have very good news.
00:20:46.921 --> 00:20:50.841
It's all like bad news. You can be such a blessing becauseâ But if you just
00:20:50.841 --> 00:20:55.721
be awake, you know, when you're at the store or in a classroom at work,
00:20:56.021 --> 00:21:00.081
wherever, if you can just speak life and encouragement and joy.
00:21:00.081 --> 00:21:02.541
Or even just smile at people. Just to smile and actually be nice.
00:21:02.741 --> 00:21:07.061
A lot of Christians, they'reâ We've been taught, eyes down, don't look around.
00:21:07.161 --> 00:21:11.101
They're not nice. Don't smile. They just run in. Just pretend like nobody sees you. Run in and run out.
00:21:11.381 --> 00:21:16.521
We're called to be a blessing. We're maybe not leading everybody to Jesus right
00:21:16.521 --> 00:21:17.661
away when we go to Walmart,
00:21:18.181 --> 00:21:23.161
but, you know, you can be kind and blessing and encouraging and congenial,
00:21:23.161 --> 00:21:27.641
And if people look sad, don't just, you know, you're called to be a thermostat,
00:21:27.641 --> 00:21:30.521
not a thermometer. A thermostat sets the temperature.
00:21:30.801 --> 00:21:35.061
A thermometer just registers the temperature. So we can't just be registering
00:21:35.061 --> 00:21:38.081
the temperature of this cold, dark world around us.
00:21:38.381 --> 00:21:41.421
But we are here to change the atmosphere.
00:21:41.741 --> 00:21:46.121
Change the atmosphere of your team. Change the atmosphere of your workplace.
00:21:46.481 --> 00:21:50.581
Change the atmosphere of your family by your joy, by your peace,
00:21:50.741 --> 00:21:52.861
by your word. By your contentedness.
00:21:53.401 --> 00:21:56.401
By your contentment. Because, you know, a lot of people are really weirded out
00:21:56.401 --> 00:21:58.461
when people come up and start talking to them.
00:21:58.521 --> 00:22:02.021
So you have to be aware that people have been trained to be silent.
00:22:02.161 --> 00:22:04.001
Or to be suspicious. Eyes down.
00:22:04.181 --> 00:22:07.661
Yeah. What's wrong with them? Are they high? What do they want from me? Yeah.
00:22:07.901 --> 00:22:10.281
Be wise when you're, but you can still let your light shine.
00:22:10.621 --> 00:22:16.681
Follow the Spirit. And he says, he said, he sent me to heal the brokenhearted. Well, that's.
00:22:17.469 --> 00:22:21.349
Only the Lord can do that, but that's the message that we bring.
00:22:21.469 --> 00:22:27.109
And it says, Marjorie, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of
00:22:27.109 --> 00:22:28.729
the prison to those who are bound.
00:22:28.949 --> 00:22:33.469
He doesn't say beg that the captives will have liberty.
00:22:33.589 --> 00:22:38.669
Declare. Or the people that are in prison just don't beg them to get out of prison.
00:22:38.929 --> 00:22:43.809
He's saying the prison of darkness, the prison of sin, the prison of fear and
00:22:43.809 --> 00:22:45.169
lies. Freedom. Declare.
00:22:45.509 --> 00:22:47.909
Declare freedom. Declare liberty.
00:22:48.589 --> 00:22:54.009
Declare the opening of the prison to those who are well. So just declare. Do it.
00:22:54.349 --> 00:22:58.909
Speak it. Well, an example of that would be David in Psalm 56.
00:22:59.369 --> 00:23:02.529
He has just been captured by the Philistines.
00:23:02.689 --> 00:23:05.869
You know, they were the ones whoâGoliath came out of the Philistines.
00:23:06.009 --> 00:23:09.249
So they had just captured him in Gath, which is their territory,
00:23:09.429 --> 00:23:16.229
which is basically now where I think Hamas is, on the Mediterranean there on the west side.
00:23:16.409 --> 00:23:21.189
But so he says, okay, so this is all negative. You know, he's been captured.
00:23:21.909 --> 00:23:26.529
And then he says in verse three, well, verse one, he says, be merciful to me,
00:23:26.529 --> 00:23:29.089
O God, for man would swallow me up.
00:23:29.812 --> 00:23:33.292
Fighting all day long, they oppress me. And then he says in verse 3,
00:23:33.672 --> 00:23:36.772
whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you.
00:23:36.972 --> 00:23:41.172
In God, I will praise his word. In God, I have put my trust.
00:23:41.392 --> 00:23:45.332
I will not fear what can man or flesh do to me.
00:23:45.552 --> 00:23:49.272
And then he goes on, all day long, they twist my words.
00:23:49.492 --> 00:23:53.312
All their thoughts are against me for evil. They gather together,
00:23:53.472 --> 00:23:55.052
they hide, they mark my steps.
00:23:55.172 --> 00:23:58.292
In other words, he's being targeted, he's being followed, he's being attacked.
00:23:58.292 --> 00:24:03.752
When they wait for my life, shall they escape by iniquity?
00:24:04.152 --> 00:24:07.132
In anger, cast down these people, O God.
00:24:07.852 --> 00:24:12.452
And then he says to him, you number my wandering. So God is being very aware
00:24:12.452 --> 00:24:15.252
of your misery, your wilderness, your wandering.
00:24:15.552 --> 00:24:19.692
He says, he puts my tears into, he says, put my tears into your bottle.
00:24:19.832 --> 00:24:21.512
David is talking to God, put my tears.
00:24:21.912 --> 00:24:26.892
This is a brave man, a soldier, killed Goliath. here he is crying,
00:24:27.072 --> 00:24:30.272
weeping, and he says, are they not in your book?
00:24:30.352 --> 00:24:35.672
In other words, aren't all my tears, my words, already in your book?
00:24:35.772 --> 00:24:37.312
I mean, you're loved by God.
00:24:37.612 --> 00:24:41.072
He says, when I cry out to you, then my enemies will turn back.
00:24:41.452 --> 00:24:44.292
This I know because God is for me.
00:24:44.792 --> 00:24:47.532
You know, this I know because God is for me. Do you know that?
00:24:47.892 --> 00:24:49.552
Do you really? That's the challenge.
00:24:49.712 --> 00:24:51.852
Satan's going to try to get you to believe God is not for you,
00:24:51.992 --> 00:24:55.852
that God is mad at you, that he's testing you, teaching you a lesson because
00:24:55.852 --> 00:24:58.852
you blew it back there and you're guilty and you deserve to be punished.
00:24:59.232 --> 00:25:02.612
That is not our God. God already knew every step you're ever going to take,
00:25:02.792 --> 00:25:05.832
every breath we're ever going to breathe, every place we're ever going to be.
00:25:05.952 --> 00:25:08.632
And he's going to know all the times we're going to trip, all the times we're
00:25:08.632 --> 00:25:11.092
going to be assaulted, attacked, ambushed by the enemy.
00:25:11.272 --> 00:25:18.112
And so he said, I know God is because I know God is for me. This I know my enemies will turn back.
00:25:18.739 --> 00:25:22.319
Because God is for me. And he goes on in verse 10 there in Psalm 56.
00:25:22.959 --> 00:25:26.699
In God, I will praise his word. In the Lord, I will praise his word.
00:25:26.939 --> 00:25:31.259
In God, I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:35.019
Right. The vows made to you are binding upon me, O God.
00:25:35.639 --> 00:25:40.079
And I will render praises to you. For you have, this is powerful.
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.979
Think of this for yourself.
00:25:42.639 --> 00:25:45.639
For you have delivered my soul from death.
00:25:45.639 --> 00:25:56.239
You have not kept my feet from falling,
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.639
that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:05.079
This is the test of David's faith. And this is where you're at.
00:26:05.179 --> 00:26:09.619
Maybe you had a tough year last year, lots of your faith tested. But what is faith?
00:26:09.979 --> 00:26:15.319
Faith is knowing that God is faithful, that God is faithful to complete the work he's begun in us.
00:26:15.439 --> 00:26:19.739
And so as we kind of wrap this up again, let's go back to Psalm 67,
00:26:20.399 --> 00:26:26.399
which he says in the first part of that verse, he says, God be merciful to us
00:26:26.399 --> 00:26:30.339
and bless us and cause his face to shine upon us.
00:26:30.679 --> 00:26:34.739
That your way may be known on earth and your salvation among all the nations.
00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:38.679
Let the peoples praise you, O God, let the peoples praise you.
00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:40.979
So you know what? God is merciful.
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:45.859
God is the one who blesses us. God loves us. God wants to cause his face to
00:26:45.859 --> 00:26:51.059
shine upon us, not because we're good, but because he's good, because he loves you.
00:26:51.139 --> 00:26:54.239
As you love your children, they don't have to be perfect for you to love them.
00:26:54.419 --> 00:26:57.719
You know, it's nice if they behave for sure, and then you can bless them,
00:26:57.819 --> 00:27:00.639
but you don't stop loving them just because they mess up.
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.399
And God loves us, and he knew we were going to mess up from time to time.
00:27:04.719 --> 00:27:09.139
Not that we do it on purpose, but because he knows we're living in the snake pit.
00:27:09.899 --> 00:27:13.119
There's a little saying that a lot of young people are using these days.
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:17.619
For you older adults, you have no clue. And for some of the young people that use it,
00:27:18.181 --> 00:27:22.521
They probably don't have a clue either, but it's 67. 67.
00:27:23.041 --> 00:27:27.981
Yeah. You know, they thought 67. And if you're in high school or middle school.
00:27:27.981 --> 00:27:29.741
I think it's 67, yeah. 67.
00:27:30.341 --> 00:27:35.001
You know that. But listen, turn that towards Psalm 67.
00:27:35.501 --> 00:27:39.761
There's only seven verses there. But God, I look what you said,
00:27:39.901 --> 00:27:41.401
Margie. I want to just read it again.
00:27:42.001 --> 00:27:48.001
God be merciful to us and bless us and cause his face to shine upon us. Let's do that.
00:27:48.181 --> 00:27:53.241
Selah, that your way may be known on the earth, that your salvation,
00:27:53.381 --> 00:27:55.281
your salvation among all nations.
00:27:55.461 --> 00:27:58.541
I want to just pray. A blessing. Bless you guys.
00:27:59.321 --> 00:28:01.581
I want you to just receive this now.
00:28:02.541 --> 00:28:05.161
Because maybe some of you don't have anybody who speaks a blessing over you,
00:28:05.241 --> 00:28:06.861
so we're doing it for you right now.
00:28:07.081 --> 00:28:10.641
Receive it. Get ready to receive these words. Get all the resistance away.
00:28:11.361 --> 00:28:14.281
Move the blockers away. Say, I don't deserve it. Tell them to shut up.
00:28:14.281 --> 00:28:19.361
You're going to just be washed and cleansed and rejoiced and refreshed in these words.
00:28:19.981 --> 00:28:23.921
Thank you, Jesus. I'm going to read this from Numbers chapter 6 in just a moment,
00:28:24.001 --> 00:28:25.561
but I want to just pray right now.
00:28:26.021 --> 00:28:30.061
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for each precious one that's hearing
00:28:30.061 --> 00:28:33.721
these words, wherever they're hearing them, in their car, in their home,
00:28:33.741 --> 00:28:35.801
at their computer desk, or wherever they are.
00:28:36.261 --> 00:28:43.021
Father, I just release blessings. Jesus. Lord, someone's listening that you
00:28:43.021 --> 00:28:45.401
don't really know Jesus or you've turned away.
00:28:45.821 --> 00:28:52.141
Now, I bless you with repentance that you will come back to the living God,
00:28:52.261 --> 00:28:55.661
that you return to him. He's not left you.
00:28:56.261 --> 00:28:59.501
He's still been with you, but he wants you back.
00:29:00.321 --> 00:29:04.781
And I just bless you with that heart of repentance to come back to Him.
00:29:05.001 --> 00:29:08.261
And I bless you that know the Lord.
00:29:08.441 --> 00:29:13.481
I bless you with wisdom, with grace, with joy, with prosperity,
00:29:13.901 --> 00:29:16.461
with favor, with promotion.
00:29:16.701 --> 00:29:20.021
With a deep and holy revelation, a hunger for God.
00:29:20.261 --> 00:29:25.301
That all the wounds and all the things that you have been afflicted and born,
00:29:25.301 --> 00:29:28.641
and the injustices, the unforgiveness, the bitterness,
00:29:28.881 --> 00:29:34.321
the true serious crimes committed against you, that those wounds be washed out
00:29:34.321 --> 00:29:35.721
with the love of Jesus Christ.
00:29:35.721 --> 00:29:42.521
And I release healing to your body, to your soul, to your spirit, in the name of Jesus.
00:29:42.781 --> 00:29:47.061
Every little organ, tissue, operation, member, function, frequency, vibration.
00:29:47.561 --> 00:29:52.461
Every little cell, every little tissue, be rejoicing in Jesus in this body and
00:29:52.461 --> 00:29:57.281
be encouraged to carry this one safely,
00:29:57.441 --> 00:30:02.261
keep their temple, their tabernacle strong and healthy, and cause them to do
00:30:02.261 --> 00:30:05.941
the right thing in terms of what they choose to eat or where to go or how to rest.
00:30:06.181 --> 00:30:11.181
Lord, I pray divine wisdom upon each one here that they will know what to do
00:30:11.181 --> 00:30:17.141
in the hour in which they must make a decision, that you will cause their feet,
00:30:17.481 --> 00:30:20.181
guide their feet, the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord,
00:30:20.241 --> 00:30:25.201
that you guide their feet to go in the right direction and to walk in the path
00:30:25.201 --> 00:30:28.541
of righteousness, and that there will be fruit in their life,
00:30:28.741 --> 00:30:35.061
much fruit to bring forth hope and joy and the fruit of the Spirit in other people's lives.
00:30:35.201 --> 00:30:40.001
Lord, you are the way, the truth, and the life. Make their path clean.
00:30:40.341 --> 00:30:45.561
The psalmist prayed, Lord, lead me in a plain path, a level path,
00:30:45.701 --> 00:30:47.861
a clear path because of my enemies.
00:30:48.141 --> 00:30:53.781
So, Father, in Jesus' name, doors that have been closed, open them,
00:30:54.201 --> 00:30:56.281
Lord. Doors that have been closed.
00:30:58.512 --> 00:31:02.532
Thank you, Lord God. Those that have been closed are being opened right now.
00:31:02.752 --> 00:31:09.292
It's a season and a time. Yes. What's been closed to you before is now being opened by the Lord.
00:31:09.532 --> 00:31:15.172
Because to everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
00:31:15.892 --> 00:31:21.252
And part of the reason that, you know, it seems like you've been stuck in this,
00:31:21.852 --> 00:31:26.272
whatever it is, you've been stuck in this. But the reason you've been stuck
00:31:26.272 --> 00:31:29.492
there is because it's not the right season.
00:31:30.012 --> 00:31:36.392
There's a season coming now of release, and you will see doors that look like they're tempting.
00:31:36.852 --> 00:31:41.232
They look like they're open, but God is saying, no, I'm closing these because
00:31:41.232 --> 00:31:44.012
I've got a different direction for you to go right now.
00:31:44.212 --> 00:31:48.792
And as you go with him, you will have that peace. You will see it clearly.
00:31:49.112 --> 00:31:51.092
You'll see it. You will know it.
00:31:52.012 --> 00:31:57.112
The Spirit of God, the Word of God will all line up and bear witness with that
00:31:57.112 --> 00:31:58.932
course of action that you are to take.
00:31:59.112 --> 00:32:03.892
And I want to just summarize this by the blessing upon you.
00:32:04.032 --> 00:32:08.532
Just receive this now, the blessing. You hear it a lot, but sometimes we hear
00:32:08.532 --> 00:32:10.452
it so much we don't even think about it.
00:32:10.672 --> 00:32:18.212
But we'll just receive this right now in the name of Jesus. Numbers chapter 7, 22 through 27, or 26.
00:32:19.793 --> 00:32:23.393
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to Aaron and his sons,
00:32:23.613 --> 00:32:27.373
saying, This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel.
00:32:27.533 --> 00:32:30.893
Say to them, Now there's a blessing we pronounce.
00:32:31.833 --> 00:32:33.273
It's not just for Aaron.
00:32:34.353 --> 00:32:41.753
It's not just for Moses. But I just say to you now, The Lord bless you and keep you.
00:32:41.893 --> 00:32:46.753
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
00:32:46.853 --> 00:32:49.313
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you.
00:32:49.793 --> 00:32:54.913
And give you peace. And we just release that blessing now to you and to your
00:32:54.913 --> 00:32:58.833
family and to the people surrounding you.
00:32:59.313 --> 00:33:04.093
We read it in the psalm earlier, Psalm 67.
00:33:04.473 --> 00:33:08.453
I think it's there. We're the people of the earth. Well, bless the Lord.
00:33:08.453 --> 00:33:10.593
We'll know the Lord and bless the Lord.
00:33:11.293 --> 00:33:18.653
May this be a year of release and blessing and spiritual awakening,
00:33:19.413 --> 00:33:25.813
salvation and deliverance throughout this nation and throughout the other nations.
00:33:26.013 --> 00:33:31.373
And those that seem like the most unlikely people, the most hard people are
00:33:31.373 --> 00:33:33.253
going to be turned around and
00:33:33.253 --> 00:33:37.633
released and delivered and become fiery soldiers for the kingdom of God.
00:33:37.773 --> 00:33:42.293
We pray that that will happen in our families, in our workplaces,
00:33:42.513 --> 00:33:47.053
in our state and nation and throughout the nations of the world.
00:33:47.293 --> 00:33:52.233
We just release this in Jesus' name. Praise God. Amen.
00:33:54.380 --> 00:34:00.020
