That's the gospel of St. Louis the 8th chapter and the 25th verse give you time to actually go to your scripture. That's the way we do it in the Kingdom. Some of you already have your Bible out there in the car. I kind of give you the time to run out there and get it all so you may have one in another room so go and let's work this out together.

The word of God is so real in our lives. And the Lord is always blessing us and keeping us. Well, let's get ready to do what we normally do in the Kingdom. Let's get ready to raise our Bible in the air and repeat our citizens at

Have you ever had a secret weapon, you know a secret weapon is something that you know that you can use when there's a time of need and that everybody doesn't know that you have it. That's why it's a secret it's designed for you to pull out when you actually need to to pull it out and use it whatever it might be but it's a secret weapon your closest friend doesn't know your secret weapon. You're in your parents that know your secret weapon. Yoko labor is your neighbors that know your secret weapon your spouse's don't even know your secret weapon because you see if anybody knew what your secret weapon was is not a secret anymore. So it's designed to to keep things at a pay so that when you need it you pull it out. I remember when I was little my my brother. My oldest brother was more that's like my secret weapon.

There were times when? People would want to pick on you and things like that. I never forget that some guys was chasing my my brother Milton and and myself and we were running through the park trying to get away and I just knew that I got back home. If I got on the Block big brother was there my brother Leroy in that that he would be able to help me out. And and and guess what the moment we got on our block a trans in front of a house. Guess who was there my secret weapon and when the guys caught up with us State they said hey Levi, is this your brother? And he said yes as my brother and a step back to he was the secret weapon that I needed at that time in my life to to get me through. We all have to use our secret weapon at times and and we use at a time so that we can actually Get through. We use that because their battles that we have to have to fight.

Mini bottles that we have to find daily some of us fight battles. We fight battles at home. We fight battles on the job. We fight battles in our community some of us fight battles in and we fight battles so much that when we're not fighting the battle we still think we're in a fight. Did we fighting the various battles of our lives and in and sometimes we get tired? Sometimes we get beaten down, but those are the times in which we are able to pull out our secret weapon. The coronavirus 19 seems to be that kind of battle that we were in. It has taken over our lifestyles. None of us a living the way that we used to live. This is Sunday in Norman on a Sunday service. We fill out churches but there are asking us to do not have Assemblies of 10 or more. Yeah. I know that some Churches want to say the separation of church and state but but the Bible tells us that the government that we are living with the end. So with that being the case, then we are to hear and then also let us not forget of corporate Destiny the mere fact that we all I want. So those who are over us in terms of authority by people that we have to listen to in a time like this. We're listening to our local government. We've been asked not to assemble together. So churches in the city of South Fulton are not worshiping together, but most of my worshipping at home. We're trying to do things such as this to make sure that the body of Christ is still moving forward. It's a battle. It's a battle that we have because our entire lifestyle has changed but good comes out of that. She there is victory in the midst of all of our battles if we take time and look at the secret weapon that we haven't realized that even though I'm locked in my home even though I don't have to go to work when I'm at home and I truly at home in this study do it's cool. It's a wonderful time for the family with just the power of society the reconnecting reunite and get to know each other once again, See a lot of times you realize that just for the last few days that you've been locked in the house together that you really didn't know your son and you really didn't know your door. Now you kind of see how they are when they are away from your parents. This is a wonderful time to Kindle those relationships and yet to also re-established the foundation of authority and love and patience and kind of the coronavirus is a battle that all of us are battling each and every day of Our Lives. Why was most of us are or in our home was the First Responders are still fighting the coronavirus fighting this battle so that we can still have a kind of peaceful life within the confines of our own home for the things that could be happening on the outside. We're fighting a battle with the battle in which were fighting. We have a secret weapon that we able to use in order for us to be victorious.

the disciples they also have a secret weapon. Look at the story over in the gospel singer Luke in in the 8th chapter. Price begins to tell us a simple story that he had with the disciples and Luke brings that to our attention.

he wants us to know that that m in life that there are times when we Have to use that weapon and in this particular story of the storming of the seat the disciples were in a place where they had to use a weapon. And we know what happened. We know how as they were crossing over the sea of of the Gatherings and in the midst of that as storm rolls. And the disciples were in a position that they were concerned about their lives. And in this the storm that have raised in the lies, they were concerned and knowing that they were fishermen by train. They know how to have a storm will come out of no place in and hit them and change their life, but they knew how to fish they knew how to manage the waters. But this storm was so Fierce that they were frightened. They were afraid of their lives and they reached out and called on Jesus but this story is about a lesson of faith that was given to them by the Lord. See, there's two ways of responding to circumstances two ways of responding to situations that we face in our lives. And as we come to those different situation, we find that even the Bible talks about the situations right here. So the disciples were with Christ and as they were on the the boat crossing over to the Sea a storm rolled in the Bible says that the deed up on the boulder. And they got so afraid but while they were wrestling with this boat price was down in the CERN. He was resting. He was taking it easy. And the disciples were so afraid that there are really two accounts that the that the gospel writers give about this that gives a a different response. One of their response was Master carest thou not that we perish. Do you don't care about where we are in the situation that we in right now masterbat you can rest and you can go to sleep and not come to our Aid I know you feel the boat rocking. I know you feel housing in the midst of the storm, Kerrisdale. Not that we perish. This statement is as if that's been there is a weapon. There is something that we can use you can come to my Aid and there is help but you won't come do you care about our situation samples? Maybe when the price where are you in the midst of the coronavirus? Do you care about us? Do it. Care? Not that we perish our loved ones are sick. I love my whole life has changed Master. Do you care? Care that we perish this is one of the responses that the that the disciples game. What has been your response in the midst of the coronavirus Cove at 19th? What is Ben your response? What was your response? When when we heard about this virus? What was your response when we saw are going all over the world? What was your response when it came directly into your neighborhood into your into your sting? What was your response? Were you angry at the president where you're angry at your local government. Were you angry at you? Because we didn't get on top of this from the beginning was your response. What's your response? When you constantly turn on the television barriers right in front of what is your response Master carest thou not that we here on this planet we here in this place where you giving us Authority and power carest thou not that we perish with dying from a virus. Where is the churro. Where is the mature carest thou not that we perish in your word of God? You said that you can do all things at all the impossible things. Where is it? Oh God. You said that there is healing in the balm of Gilead Master carest thou not that we perish.

That was one of the response that the disciples had. from one of the gospel writers another one of the writers gave a different response. And that response was Master. we perish

Master we perish in other words Master with dude. It's going to all be over all of us going to Die In This Storm of God in the storm of life is Raging in my life right now Master. We are experienced fisherman, and we never seen anything like this before we perish master. They were so concerned Master we perish. Are we not concerned about what's happening around us? Those who may not know God may be so fearful that they are saying we perished when family that are being hit with a loved one's all I can say is that my family is perishing Master we perish as if there is not a sign of Hope. There was not bad. secret weapon

As I come to the conclusion. I want to just tell you that but the coronavirus does not know. The coronavirus didn't know that we have a secret weapon. Citizens that secret weapon is the ability to 2/2.

There is a kind of nosy noisy faith. allowed faith Facebook that speaks smiling that you yelled and that you crowd that strong have a favorite. That tells coronavirus that you won't touch me. You can't touch me. It's a secret. That's Faith Hebrews. 11:1 says now Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of Things Not Seen It is the unseen reality. Price came out on the boat and he looked at the storms and it looked at the Raves in our particular live and he didn't make a lot of noise.

He just quietly said Peace. be still best secret weapon that we have is a diet faith. It's a faith that helps us not to panic. It's a faith that helps us to understand that it is well and that it shall be well with our soul. It is a faith that allows us to look at circumstances in life and know that we do have the victory that quiet Faith tells us that there is a cure that's quite a family will be okay that quiet Faith allows us to look at the coronavirus and say peace be still. And you may have already said that in your lies. If not, I hope you stay with me right now. Peace be still. And we said with such calmness. Which such Joy? Because with the power of the Lord in our lives. We do have peace. Sota my kingdom citizen than to all of you just want to remind you that that no matter what Keep the faith no matter what.
