Sincere hate. What is evil cling to what is good, be devoted to one another and brotherly love honor. One another above yourselves, never be lacking in Zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor serving, the lord be joyful in. Hope, patient in Affliction and faithful in prayer with God's people who people who are in need and practice. Hospitality bless those who persecute you bless and do not curse Rejoice with those who Rejoice mourn with those who mourn live in harmony with one. Another don't be proud of you willing to associate with people of low position. You not be conceited. Don't repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do. What is in the right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Don't take revenge my friends, but leave room for God's Wrath or it's written. It's mine to avenge. I will repay says the Lord on the contrary. If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he's thirsty, give him something to drink in doing this. She'll be heaping. Burning coals on his head. Don't do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Can we pray?

Heavenly father, I do want to thank you for what you're doing in us and through us and Lord in your church and threw your church around the world. Are you been doing it across times, even when we've got it wrong, it sometimes. And you've been faithful to yourself and faithful to your bride and Lord, you are preparing us to be a church without spot or wrinkle. And I thank you for that. So Holy Spirit today I do pray that we have ears to hear what you're saying and hearts to understand how we can apply it in our lives, in your name, we pray. Amen.

So we're talking today about verse 10, be devoted to one another in love. What does being devoted look like I had to look this one up, okay, being devoted to something means being focused on that particular thing, almost exclusively when you're devoted to a cause you work to achieve its goal. When you're devoted to a person, you place their needs above your own. When we're devoted to one another, we are practicing the same love and compassion and generosity that God showed to us to each other. And we are demonstrating one of the primary messages of the Gospel which is to serve and help each other.

Why does Devotion to one another matter? Well, the first clue is in the word itself and I got his tell you. This is my latest new favorite Greek word, ever. It is awesome. The word is filial store, God help. I know that's amazing. Do you remember what Billy has? Xenon means Philly was in our hearts, we get xenophobia. Can you guess what phileos at Hoss's? It's love for strangers. We use the word Hospitality, awesome word. This one's even cooler little store guys went few years ago. When I came to understand what a doppio love was growing up, I always always understood a copy of love was to be God's love for us. The perfect love, I love the patient and kind, did this Intruder sell a keep the record of wrong? That's got to be God's love for us, right? That's how we ever going to shoot that problem with that is I started reading this thing in the Greek and Demosthenes Agape owed the world so much that he left Paul. How can that be the love of God and leave the ministry? I don't get that. But a few years ago when I was really seeking God and really searching what other people were saying, it's suddenly dropped in my head, I got Mayo isn't just the love of God has brought us a copy of his love. That's a decision. We decide to love and if we decide to love, we can decide to be patient. We can decide to not keep no record of wrong. It's a decision Agape. Love is a decision. Phileo love isn't just warm. Mushy feel it. It's the emotional love, agape. Love you might not feel like you're loving that person, but you decide and she used to love that person. Phileo love. We feel the love towards that person.

There's two other Greek words are Ross's for sexual love. That's not in the New Testament. Interesting Lee enough, it's in the Greek translation of the Old Testament but not in the New Testament and store game is the other word for love and it's very not common. It's I think I found four places where it is in the New Testament but storge love is really cool. Love Storge love is most often described as the love between family members. In essence. It's the love that we get benefit from. Right? Like that was not to be crass but it's it's not a doppio. We make the decision to live and we might not get anything out of it. Story gate, we get something. We got some skin in this game. so, the word for devotion in Greek Is the have that Emotional Love phileo? And get some benefit from it store. Goss filial store game. We get benefits from being devoted to one another.

That seems almost crashed, but that's why it's not too often in the New Testament. Okay, but all in this place, he's saying that we get benefits from being devoted to one another, What benefits are there for being devoted to know one another well in scripture, Luke 6:38, says give and Jesus said, Give It Away, give it to you, good measure pressed down shaken together and running over. It'll be poured into your lap with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. And Paul says, inflation is 37, a man reaps what he sows there are benefits as we are loving each other and feeling this love that we have towards each other and devotion. Now, the fun thing I found This week is, I studied was that the there's actually scientific evidence that we get benefits from being devoted to each other. Okay, we've got studies summer little week, I'll give you that but I'm still putting them. Okay, the first one being devoted to one another, with our with our finances glasses on us, 2008 study by the university UBC and Harvard Business School exam and where person spent their money and how it affect their happiness. So, a total of 630 Americans were interviewed and asked to report on their income, their monthly spending including all bills. Money spent on themselves at their General, happiness and gifts given to others or charity and the results. regardless of a person's income people, who spent more money on Charities, over others, reported higher levels of happiness, than those who didn't Pretty cool. What does it say in Acts 20 verse 35, at in everything, I did to show you that this kind of hard work, we must help the weak, remembering the words of Jesus himself was that it's more blessed to give than to receive. We get benefit from being devoted to one another, We also get the benefit of of number to being devoted to others. Helps your health crazy study and this is what I have as little suspect a study by Doug Omen at the University of california-berkeley found that elderly people who volunteered for two or more organizations, were 44% less likely to die over a five-year period than those who didn't volunteer for the problem. I have with that. If you're healthy and you can you can volunteer you're going to live longer than the person who isn't healthy and can't volunteer that wants a little suspect but listen to another study it found that I don't know when this was on, but it found that people who provided social support to others had lower blood pressure pressure than those who didn't

That's amazing. That's counterintuitive because when I help people, I could feel my blood pressure rise for 9 says offer Hospitality to one another without grumbling the third benefit I-5 about being devoted to one another, it brings others closer and closer together when we're devoted to each other, According to the book at the, how of Happiness? The author says, when we serve others, it's not only helps us feel closer to others, but helps us feel closer to them. Being kind and generous leads you to perceive others more positively and charitably and Acts 4332, says, all believers were one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any position was their own but they shared everything that they had so we can do that because God's The Giver of all gifts it's we we don't we Steward what he gives us and that's our time and that's our resources and when we share those that time and resources with others, we can do that because he's already giving it to us, right? Number for being devoted to others, promotes more gratitude, in our lives, gratitudes a good thing. According to a study by Robert Evans, from the University of California, Davis, and Michael McCullough of the University of Miami college, students who counted Their Blessings experience more gratitude than their lives which in turn caused them to be more optimistic exercise, more and feel better about their lives. Over all gratitude is a game-changer since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be thankful and still worship God accepted. Like when we when we are devoted to each other we have more gratitude for what we have, right? I'm going to share a few stories as we go on here. the prove that to me, And finally, number five feet of being devoted to others, helps him to be devoted to us the study been by James Fowler, the University of San Diego and Nicholas, Christopher gifts. Harvard of Harvard found that when people give to others, it encourages others to do the same and multiplies the effect. So we're devoted to others, they become devoted to others and ourselves. So I got Titus 2:7, a says in everything set them an example by doing what is good.

so we want to be devoted to one another, so the question becomes, How how do we be devoted to one another? That's a great question. I asked a quote of it this week. I got to give you a little bit of secrets on how this book was written. In Greek. Well. Anyway, in Use these chapters and verses.

They're not canon, they were added by people to make it easier to find stuff.

Greek sentences are different than English sentences. English sentences. We we prefer. When we have to take a breath, musically is how we do it. So we just stick up. Where we need to have a breath Greek sentences. I can go on for 200 words and it is just this word is associated to this word and this goes on and it. And and honestly I didn't go through all of that for this. I looked it up and I tried to read it in Greek and I could actually read this portion in Greek, but Mike Greek translation, had chapters and verses and periods in it and I didn't like it cuz it's not original. But anyway,

as I as I thought about it, I've always read this portion of scripture as here's a command and here's a command and here's a command in. Here's a command, I got a list of things I have to do to check off and I know that's not the way to live the Christian Life, right? So just bear with me here. What if Paul is explaining how words of love each other and be devoted to each other with everything that follows, it's an interesting study that's where we're going today. The word that will help us remember. That is devotion voted it's with the lotion.

We can devotion. We don't undervalue honor. We enjoy life with each other. We value the journey, we offer, your are home. We take the punch. We identify what each other is going through. We obliterate pride, and we nourish piece. It sounds like a good way to be devoted to each other. So let's get started. Don't undervalue, honor comes from first, then it said it on her one another about ourselves.

We should have ocean to one another by honoring each other. We honor someone when we affirm them to their face and behind their back. We honor someone, when we listen to that, we give each other, our time, in a detention. We're honoring that other person we express honor when we give a vital role for each other in our lives, The way that Peterson translates this section of Romans 12:9. And Danny says, love from the center of who you are. And don't think it run for your life from Evil. Hold your life for the good. Be good, friends. Who love deeply in practice? Putting settle second fiddle. The question we can ask ourselves is, have I been treating others With Honor.

The e in devotion reminds us. The next verse of verse 11 says, he's to enjoy life. With each other. All tells us to never be lacking in Zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor serving the lord. We serve the Lord when we serve each other. And we show Devotion to one another. When we serve each other, when we serve another, we're not passive about it. It's an action. Hotels Us in Galatians 5:13 you my dear brothers and sisters were called to be free. Don't use your freedom to indulge The Flash rather serve one. Another humbly in love. I should we can ask ourselves is, have I been passionately devoted to others.

We, we want to Value the journey. Verse 12 tells us to be joyful in Hope patient in Affliction and faithful in prayer.

We're devoted to one another, we help each other face, whatever. Brutal reality we need to face together.

Often the best thing we do is simply be presents. Its, we don't need to have the answers. We, we don't need to Help them complain, we just need to be there.

This week I had the opportunity to go with somebody. I would call a friend we've been together long enough and He's a gentleman who.

I'm trying to decide how much I can share. He's? He's got a disease that will kill him. Unless he goes through this stem cell therapy with basically, what they're going to do is destroy his immune system, so they can insert his brothers immune system and hopefully it works out because if it does, it's a miracle and he's got a brand new and used to stuff. There's a 30% chance that if the complications from that immune system will kill him, there's about a hundred percent chance. The next few months are going to be Really, really terrible for him physically.

And this week I got to go with him for another teleconference, and I take the notes for him and record it for him. And he spent a lot of time, just talking between appointments

and, He calls himself not a good Catholic it. When I asked him what that means, he says I don't even go on Christmas or Easter.

But he's open for prayer and he's open to spiritual things. and, We were.

I don't care what he was telling stories and I was laughing so hard and we were both laughing. We were just having a good old time waiting for the next appointment and it suddenly hit me. But this is Holy and sacred.

You're talking about God, we were talking about life. We weren't coming up with Solutions, we were just waiting for the next step.

And really, that's what it means. For all of us for one another,

The benefit we can bring, we can be joyful in. Hope patient in Affliction and faithful in prayer.

She prayer isn't needs to be our driver wheel that our spare tire right prayer. Needs to be the thing that drives us. It in to be joyful in Hope and faithful in Affliction, we need to be faithful in prayer. And as were faithful in prayer, we can have joy in Affliction, a joyful and we have Joyful joyful and patient in Affliction and faithful in prayer. What we are?

Fusion Sports to says be completely humble, and gentle be patient pairing with one another in love.

Have I been joyful in Hope? Patient in Affliction and faithful and prayers.

The first o in devotion help sister, remember we need to offer our home verse 13. Tells us share with the Lord's. People who are in need practice Hospitality when I say home. I'm not saying. We're not, we don't have people over, we're not doing what it is. I'm saying a home is the nearest and the dearest thing and we don't keep the nearest reindeers from each other. We share what we have and how we have and we we it is going to be the nearest in the deers. The reminder reminder for us is Galatians 6:9 and 10. Just don't become weary in doing good. Where the proper time will reap a harvest if we don't give up there. For as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially those who belong to the family of believers.

Question we can ask ourselves is have I been withholding love from others. Both holding from from loving others, like Christ, loved me and I've been withholding from loving others, how Christ loves me,

The team devotion reminds us to take the punch.

Verse 14 says the bless those who persecute you bless and do not curse. You know, when we devote ourselves to one another or are we expect each other to be the ones who are blessing and cursing us. No, but life happens. And none of us are perfect. And all of us make mistakes and all of us seeing the need to confess and ask for forgiveness.

but in this relationship that were all in, Weed. Need to be able just to take it from each other Sometimes, good. Sometimes people need to vent sometimes they need to do, sometimes you're not mature enough, sometimes you need to grow up but but That's what we speak. The truth in love, we speak Jesus in love. So that all of us mature to become more like Jesus,

James 1 19 and 20 says, but I dear brothers and sisters, take note of this. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God requires

having a conversation with another friend, this weekend. He needed to get everything off his chest so I just I let him do that.

and he,

How much do I share? He was really. He was offended because he does a lot of work for everybody where he works. And it doesn't seem like anyone notices all the work that he does. And he's really going to appreciate it. And I think you wanted me to go talk to his workmates to tell them to appreciate him, but I can't do that. That's just silly.

And so I had to ask him if it will. How much are you appreciating them? Or what do you mean? You think them for the things they do for you or they don't do much for me, have you noticed the things they do for you? Like, the only thing you can control is what you're doing. I can't control the actions of the people around. The only thing you have any control over it is your attitude and your actions. So it's all I know.

Musically. I was telling him suck it up buttercup. Take the punch, you know, like

You can change the atmosphere of the place around you, you, if you want to see, like you reap, what you sow, if you want, life, Speak Life, show life.

Anyway, question we can ask ourselves. Do I bless and not curse others?

I is identify what each other are going through Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. When we devote ourselves to one another, we adjust our emotions to fit their reality. When we come together Sunday morning yet, we do like to celebrate and often. It's the are default and that's okay because we need to celebrate what God has been doing and it's awesome. When we see God move during the week, can we bring that together? And then it just goes?

But there's times when together, we need to mourn. When somebody passes who significant to all of us when covid happened boy, we were just say, was the lament time for all of us. Monday. Thursday is the only service if you do a Thursday night service Before Good Friday, I totally believe that is the one service you should leave depressed from because we're talking about Jesus being betrayed, right? So just leave it there. Sunday is coming, don't worry, it'll be exciting on Sunday, but Thursday, let it be depressing.

In order for us to Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn, we need to know what's going on in each other's lives.

I had a very weird and interesting week myself.

I had I got some results for these marks on my face, they did a biopsy but a month ago and it came back as squamous cell carcinoma, which is not a serious cancer. They can take it out with surgery but it can get more serious if they don't take out the surgery. So okay, that's fine. They wanted to do a couple more biopsies to see how deep it was and how long they were going to have to do the operation. So they took two more biopsies and I got the results back this week. It's not a carcinoma, it's just whatever. And I don't know what to do with that. I know people were praying that it would not be a cancer but that's I don't know what the next step. They don't know what the next step is. They said will call you in two weeks. I thought you what to do. Okay. That was pretty fun.

Friday, I woke up but I couldn't wake up with the alarm. I just stayed in bed for a while and I was feeling really weird and I felt like my heart was doing funky things. So I I've got an ECG machine, that does a six-point easy G and I had a heart attack a few years ago. So I've got all these cool toys and I was taking my Eazy-E and it was showing a possible afib a fibrillation and so Eye contact. This is the admin for my cardiologists and icon, call my doctor's office, the admin was they don't get emergencies there so she was really sending emails and texts and she booked me in places and stuff before anyway, long story anyway and we went and my doctor was doing rounds to. So anyway I thought well probably I should go to the hospital and see now I don't like going into the ER because I have had a heart attack. They take your blood, and then they waited hours and take your blood again. And it's just like eight hours a day, I got stuff to do. I canceled my stuff and I went in here and drop me off. And my heart was doing some really funky things. The heart rate was going really low, really high, really low? Really like it was just jumping like within seconds. If you could just watch the screen it was going and they didn't easy G and the guys like he print it off when I did. Last fall and he said, look at this. This is beautiful. This is all good and all I see is squiggly. Lines are okay. And this is today's look at this. I see squiggly line. I don't know how to read this and he's like, oh, look at this bottom line. No, you definitely have those type of egg inside. Okay, fine. So

When it was all said and done, I still have to talk to with my doctor tomorrow. So I don't know where this is going but they put me back on medication that I was off of 4. I like it a blood thinner or non-cola coagulant and a

Something to make my heart, slow down, it's sad. It's not a beta blocker. He was going to put me on a beta blocker and I sent that it just. I was three years. I could not think that I don't want that. So they put me on this other one and everything seems to be going good since then like every I haven't had any problems going to talk to without you my doctor insists. Some you going to beta blocker? I'll probably do it. But I don't want to because I got a Thang. I don't need physical health, fighting Mental Health.

So Physical have to come to about saying that. But anyway,

Galatians 6:2 says, carry each other's burdens and in this way, you fulfill the law of Christ. That was my my week. I don't know what your week was like. I know some of you had even tougher weeks or whack your weeks or more interesting weeks. We only find out those things around that table, we only find out those things. If we stay afterwards and talk about it, when we find those things that I would, if we coming together and we pray and we say, how can I pray for you? And yes, we can tell her story. That's that, that's why we need to be devoted to each other.

Question we can ask is do I Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn.

The second old reminds us to obliterate Pride. We need to live in harmony with one. Another don't be proud of you willing to associate with people of low position, don't be conceited.

When we? Excuse me, when were devoted to one another? There's no room for pride in ourselves. Galatians 3, 28 says, there is neither Jew or Gentile neither slave or free either male or female. There is for, you are all one in Christ Jesus. The question, we need to continually ask ourselves is do I live in harmony with others?

And finally the end remind us to nourish piece vs 6. 17 and 18, don't repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do. What is right in the eyes of everyone, if it is possible, as far as it depends on you live at peace with everyone.

We're devoted to one another, we live in peace with one another, we seek peace and we pursue it. We don't let the sun go down on her anger. We are people of peace. And second Thessalonians, 3:16 Says, now may the God of Peace himself. Give you peace at all times. And in every way the Lord be with you all Do I seek? Peace and pursue it.

We want to take time today, is we? I like when we we've been able to do this has to end the time just in quiet reflection before God. And is it today?

I guess my prayer is at each of us. Would it would Holy Spirit would give us a memory of a time that somebody showed us that week. They were devoted to us. Because if we've been in the church for any length of time, you, you should know that.

And then when you get that memory, the question becomes got, who do you want me to show that? I'm devoted to now

Let's end in prayer and then we'll, we can put on the music now. Actually,

we are. So if anyone comes late, it's over my goodness.

Such a quick sermon anyway Heavenly Father. We thank you for everyone who's here and everyone who might be coming next hour or so. Thank you God, that you are our God.

I thank you Lord. That you have put us together the way that you want us to be put together.

I think you Lord that you were bringing the people here that you want to be here.

Lord, it's a big risk to share our needs with each other, but I pray if people need to share their knee, they would they would be confident that this is a safe place to do it.

So whether that need is physical or financial or relational,

I pray God for your peace to come in here. And they speak to each heart.

Lord, you know everything we're going through.

You know where hurts you are Pickens?

And you are that friend that sticks closer than a brother. But Lord, you've put us in a relationship so that we could be you with flash on to each other.

So I pray that even at this time compassion would rise up in US. Her Devotion to flow through us.

If anyone wants prayer, you could come up to the front door, just motion somebody in the come to you. But You see someone up at the front, God's leading you to come and pray for them. Please do.

I feel God saying,

does you wants to release the healing anointing?

That he wants his people to be his hands and feet on the Earth.

his word says,

where are the colon the elders? So, they can lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

Who's in Elder?

Anyone who hears the voice of God.

I believe we have starch. I forgot to give us the faith to believe for healing. this is a century and said,

Do you believe?

Because he saw the authority that Jesus.

There are so many people in this place. Who.

Are sick in body and soul. The enemy has been attacking God's people so much over the last few years.

And it's time for us to rise up and say that enough is enough.

But the will of God is going to be done in the lives of his people.

Sickness is not God's will.

That's why when Jesus came. You bore the stripes?

So sickness. To be eradicated.

And I believe we are entering a season where we are going to see healing to take place. Like we, we have in the past.

The God has given us.

The anointing of healing. Anyone and everyone in this Kingdom, who wants it to be manifest in their life.

So far the corporately I just say release faith and to your people Lord. Beat the believe that your will would be done.

Hardware. We have unbelief. Yes, you would help us to believe.

God where we become complacent with the sickness or disease. God let us rise up and say no, not my body.

When is Pastor Richard today?

We're not in this alone.

We are not to call to the carry these burdens by ourselves.

We are to be there for one another, and I think one of the primary ways we can be, there is to pray for healing for one another.

And maybe you've never prayed for someone and seeing them healed.

Well, there's always a first time.

If you need healing in your body today, I want you to stand up wherever you are.

Whatever it is.

I'm going to ask you to do another step and I should come to the front just step forward.

I believe today is a precursor of things to come.

I believe today is a day.

The God is going to restore his healing annoyed.

Know, if you heard the front, I want you to turn to the person on your rights to your left, and I want you to start praying for them right now. Start praying, you can ask them the simple question. What do you need healing for? And then she's coming to agreement with them. But that healing would be done because it's true. God's people that healing is going to be released.

It's through God's people.

The sicknesses are going to be removed.

Now, they don't have to be long prayers. It's just a prayer of agreement. You're coming to Granny with a father because the father doesn't want that sickness to be there. You just coming to agreement with the father?

Jesus, in your name, we come against all sickness, all disease, all infirmities and we declared that they do not belong in the child of God.

We declare. If healing comes from the father, through the work of Jesus, on the cross, by his stripes, we are healed.

Father, let your healing flow right now in this place. Butchers. Healing flow. Every area where the enemy has tried.

Has tried to attack.

I tried to limit us.

This is the point of prayer where many people don't do it, right? So let's just get it. Right? Is Test out if you if you're able to test something that you knew was not working before or people or whatever test it out. If you notice a change. For me is a trigger to keep going, okay? If there's a change in it, if it gets better, keep going a good person, you going. If there's a change that means, God is doing something and I always clean the verse that says God has done, he is faithful to complete it, right? So what God start, she is faithful to complete. So, if you notice something getting better or change, that should be enough of a facelift to get you to keep going, and keep keep pursuing. It it, if there is no change, if there's nothing within my step after that it's you just a blessed. It just a blessed, and sometimes healing to take place later on sometimes in the middle of the night. Just touches your body and you're healed. So we look for it now, but sometime to the first To pray test. It short little prayers to come into agreement and sick. I agree with you that this is going to be done at the ceiling is going to flow and then you test it out and you do not process over and over again until God reveals what that is.

The best part of this is to share testimonies, so if you feel a change, if you feel something that is getting better, tell people don't versus praying for you because that just loves you and a blessed them, and everybody gets blessed by it and if there is no blessing it right.

There are times where you can test it, you don't know. And those times you just looking for God to give you a word, right? We're God will speak to you and say, okay is done is complete. And you take his take him at his word when he says it you believe it. when you go to the doctors and get it tested,

they're the best ones to show the testimony of what God is doing.

Thank everyone for coming up and you don't have to leave. According to that clock, it's only 10:30.

The clock there right now according to that clock in at 10:40. So what's up? Lots of time.

you missed one or two, but one thing I would love you as a church be praying for Is. God, his is revealed to me that we're going to be a church of Healers.

I've had a Healing Ministry for well over 20 years. I've seen hundreds of people healed.

And God has his told me that he wants me to release my anointing upon each and everyone of you.

So we are going to be a church of healers that when people come in. As not, just go get the pastor, pray for me. Anybody can pray for them in their be killed.

It'll be going out to the workplace. Is it into the environment? Wasn't one of the Visions. Give me many years ago. but I'm sure this with you before, but God showed me that his anointing was going to empty hospitals, and that Christians would be able to go in. Seeking the will of God praying and people were going to be healed to the place where hospitals would be empty. I've been praying for that for probably 20 years. I believe that we're coming to a season when that very well could be.

But for that to happen, we have to raise up an army of Healers. we have to raise up individuals, so What do I need to do? Is pray for that anointing to come, but also pray and ask God to give you that passion for healing. Give you that burden, giving you that desire to see people healed. Not really is kind of though.

I've a lot of passions of Ministry for sure, but that's one that I believe, we need to focus in on the season. And I think it's pretty evident by the fact that when we call people up, everybody comes up. I think that really is indicative of the Season were in. And if it's like that in the church, how much more is going to be like that in the world? How many people need a healing touch from the master? How many I know from talking with Leo? Admitting you don't? Nobody need a medical doctor or the ER, one of the reasons why he hasn't been with us. He says the hospitals are so overwhelmed right now so I'm overloaded. He just he can't get out of the hospital. He has to be there for you. So just imagine the message that would beat the world. If Alberta? To cut a billion dollars out of the medical budget because people aren't sick anymore.

Think of how that could change. I believe that's what God wants to do. I don't believe it's far. I don't believe it's Out Of Reach. I believe it's just people need to be willing to pray and seek his face. But he will turkey.

So, thank you for being here today. Thank you, Pastor, Trevor for that amazing message. Just give him another. Thank you for that.

Urge you to stick around and do some food and have some fellowship. It's really important that we put these things into practice. Direct me to talk about the one another for now, 21 weeks.
