up in this service with one thing or the other
1:02
especially especially for those that believe
1:05
in God for healing for themselves and healing
1:08

1:45

1:48
things and this is for this part This part and
1:51
then subsequently on the Wednesday service will
1:54
build up on it build up much more So I don't
1:56
have much time. We'll just establish ground We're
1:59
going to be praying for people. We're going to
2:03
spend more time doing this service. Please give
2:08
me King James. He says, now it shall come to
2:13
pass. I want someone to say, now is that time.
2:17
Now it has come to pass. In the latter days,
2:22
in these days, that the mountain of the Lord
2:27
that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be
2:32
established. The mountain of the Lord's house
2:35
is established on the top of the mountains. It
2:40
says, and shall be exalted, and is exalted above
2:44
the hills. It said, and people shall flow to
2:48
it. Say, people are flowing to it. People are
2:52
flowing to it. Many nations are coming to it.
2:56
say many nations shall come and say Come and
3:00
let us go up to the mountain of the Lord says
3:04
to the house of the God of Jacob He will teach
3:08
us his ways Emphasis teach us his ways and we
3:14
shall walk in his parts see for out of Zion the
3:18
law shall go forth out of Zion the law shall
3:23
go forth and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem
3:27
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall
3:29
judge between many peoples and rebuke strong
3:33
nations afar off. They shall beat their swords
3:38
into plowshares and their stares into pruning
3:41
hooks. Nations shall not lift up swords against
3:46
nations. Neither shall they lend more anymore.
3:52
Four, it says, but every one shall sit upon his
3:57
vine and under his fig tree and no one shall
4:01
take them no one shall make them afraid they
4:04
say for the mountain of the lord of hosts for
4:07
the mount of the lord of hosts has spoken five
4:09
and the last say for all people walk each you
4:13
say for all people walk each in the name of his
4:16
gods see but we shall walk in the name of the
4:20
lord our god forever and ever i want us to pay
4:24
attention to this this part you see for all people
4:26
that like the way the the nlt words that part
4:29
of the verse the verse five it says he says that
4:33
five though the nations around us follow their
4:36
idols though the nations around us follow their
4:39
idols so we will follow the lord our god forever
4:43
and ever say though the nations around follow
4:45
their idols but will follow the lord forever
4:47
and ever and i want us to go back this is a key
4:51
scripture for the church i think pastor fred
4:53
has being walking. This is scripture that the
4:55
church of NECF is very much founded. This is
4:58
one thing that inspires and motivates us. And
5:00
the key thing is in the verse two. The key thing
5:03
is the verse two. It says, he will teach us his
5:06
ways. He will teach us his ways. He will teach
5:10
us his ways and we shall walk in his paths. He
5:13
will teach us his ways and we shall walk in his
5:15
path. I want us to notice that going up a mountain
5:18
is not the easiest thing to do. Going up a mountain
5:22
requires sacrifice. Going up a mountain requires
5:25
commitment. Going up a mountain requires effort.
5:29
Going up a mountain requires a lot of will to
5:32
do so. Praise God. And we know that Jerusalem
5:35
is on a mountain. Jerusalem is on a mountain.
5:39
Jerusalem is on a mountain and one thing that
5:42
keeps us or one thing that will motivate them
5:44
to go to that mountain is because of what they
5:47
will learn, right? The teaching, what they're
5:49
going to receive. is what will motivate you if
5:52
something is painful you are less likely to continue
5:57
in it because the pain itself will make you quick
6:00
but when something there's a goal i'm going up
6:03
that mountain to learn i'm going up that mountain
6:07
to learn and and it's literal for the people
6:09
of jerusalem because they have to walk up the
6:11
mountain we learned it in the week that there's
6:14
the geographical the geographical context of
6:16
these people is that they were placed on the
6:18
mountain top They were placed on the mountaintop
6:21
and in Psalms. In the book of Psalms, from Psalms
6:26
120 to Psalms 134. For Psalms 120 to 134, those
6:32
are the Psalms of ascent. Those are the Psalms,
6:35
the songs that they sing when they are going
6:37
up to that mountain. When they are going up to
6:39
the mountain, they will sing. They will sing,
6:42
I look up to the hills. It makes more sense when
6:44
you think about it. But they are looking up,
6:46
they are going up, they are going up, they are
6:48
going up. They're not going down. And there's
6:51
a spiritual context to it. There's a supernatural
6:53
context to it. The supernatural context to it
6:56
is that people go to mountains to meet with God.
7:01
People go to mountains to meet with God. Because
7:03
that was a place that symbolizes even the temple
7:05
is on, the Jerusalem temple is still on the mountain.
7:09
It's on the mountaintop. So there's a supernatural
7:11
side to it. There's a thing that keeps them going.
7:14
It's not just the literal place. Because anything
7:17
can be located in a place. But what? That thing,
7:19
what that thing is, is what is going to motivate
7:22
people to come up there. If you're not going
7:24
to end something, and by the way, I was thinking
7:26
about it, there was a time, or there had been
7:27
times, someone of us has gone to St. Hilarion's
7:29
and all of those places. When you're going up,
7:32
it's painful, but the joy of looking at the beautiful
7:36
array is what keeps you going. Just looking at
7:40
the scenery, just from the top, because the view
7:42
is better from the top. Praise God. The view
7:44
is better from the top. We see the theme of mountains
7:49
scattered around Scripture. This has been shared
7:53
a couple of times. Mountains are very special
7:55
places because of the things that happen on mountains.
7:59
And even Jesus Christ himself gathered the people
8:02
to the mountaintop. And yes, there's the practicality
8:05
of it, where it is a lot easier for you to communicate
8:08
to people when you are at an elevated ground
8:11
than for you when you are at a... Even the way
8:14
we design our... because it's a lot easier for
8:16
you to see me because I'm elevated, praise God,
8:19
because I'm on somewhat higher plane. So there's
8:22
a practicality, but there's a symbolism. There's
8:24
a symbolic side to it. The symbolic side to it
8:28
is that, that this, when they hear of mountains,
8:32
you know of Mount Sinai, we know of the different
8:34
mountains, those people go there, remember he
8:37
told us that people go there to see God, people
8:38
go there to learn, people go there to be taught,
8:40
praise God. And that is a symbolism and that
8:43
makes this Passage carry a lot more weights and
8:46
we're gonna see more. We're gonna see more and
8:48
God wants to do more Even in this season for
8:52
many of us during the week the believers conference
8:55
We're learning a lot of things. We're learning
8:57
a lot of things. We took a lot of notes We were
8:59
praying we prayed we spent hours and I want us
9:02
to understand what it is for some of us that
9:04
didn't attend What is the believers conference?
9:08
What is the Believer's Conference? It's good
9:10
that we established that. What is the Believer's
9:11
Conference? And what happens in it, in case you
9:13
are not... How many of us were there in the meeting?
9:16
Let's wave so that we can see. Were there in
9:18
the meeting? There are some persons that were
9:20
not there in the meeting. I want us to know what
9:22
that is. For every week, we have our Sunday services,
9:28
midweek services, and then we have the cell meetings.
9:31
So this is us breaking out from the norm, our
9:34
weekly normal activities to something special.
9:37
and this happens once every year this happens
9:41
once everywhere and there's a special annual
9:44
meeting where we gather praise god where we gather
9:47
and when we gather in this meeting god does things
9:50
some things he does unusual things in a meeting
9:53
he does unusual things in this meetings and we
9:56
have long hours of teaching we have long hours
9:59
of teaching long hours of prayer and we have
10:02
long hours of practice we have we take time to
10:05
practice There's teaching, there's time for teaching,
10:07
there's a time for prayer, there's a time for
10:09
practice. Praise God. There's a time for teaching,
10:11
time for prayer, time for practice. All of these
10:14
things are aimed at teaching, training, building,
10:19
and equipping us. All this is at teaching, training,
10:22
and equipping us. And when we learn, we are creating,
10:27
we are learning all these things, building up
10:29
expectations, we're putting our hearts, positioning
10:31
ourselves, creating an expectation, and maximizing
10:34
the opportunity that God has given us to grow.
10:37
God has given us to grow. And what happens is
10:39
that we see great and greater expressions of
10:42
God's power in and through us. Great and greater
10:45
expression of God's power in and through us.
10:46
And we see the purpose of this meeting is to
10:48
reinforce what the Word of God says, enforce
10:52
the Word of God. The Word of God hits us more.
10:55
Some of us have not spent the long hours listening
10:58
to teachings by ourselves. But when we gather
11:00
like this, we spend that hour together and we're
11:03
committed together. And there's time for practice.
11:07
Praise God. There's time for practice. Please,
11:08
I want you to be praying, to be praying. Don't
11:10
be distracted. Don't be distracted. There are
11:13
times of prayer. And then many people get directions.
11:17
Many people get directions. Many of us in the
11:19
meeting got direction. In fact, it's not just
11:21
directions. People confirming the things that
11:24
people have said. That you didn't even, you were
11:25
not there. Some persons I see sadistic you said
11:29
might somebody has given me this exact word confirming.
11:32
It's not a coincidence It's not a coincident
11:34
and this to this even makes the whole and by
11:37
the way the passage we read in Micah Let me just
11:39
say this well while it came to mind the passage
11:41
we read in Micah is also in Isaiah 2 And I want
11:45
you to understand that Isaiah the prophet came
11:48
before Micah But both of them are saying the
11:51
same exact thing of what God is going to do Meaning
11:54
that God will confirm his word God confirms his
11:58
word. I think I give a word to someone and it
12:01
was when I give the word and I realized that
12:02
this was the word that had given to them previously.
12:07
Same and I mean, I did not even realize. It took
12:11
me, I had to, I said, wait, wait, wait, wait,
12:13
wait. It seems like because you don't plan these
12:15
things. The Holy Spirit will bring and many of
12:17
us got words that are so accurate that you know
12:20
that it can only be God. Praise God. And I want
12:24
you to understand that meetings like this are
12:26
not coincidental you did not show up in this
12:29
meeting i shared a testimony yesterday and we
12:31
shared again just to encourage someone someone
12:33
here just to stir you up to pray last sunday
12:37
service someone because i met the guy in the
12:40
week he normally comes to service i don't know
12:42
whether he's here today he said he was going
12:43
to be here he comes he comes to service he and
12:46
another friend of his that happens to be my student
12:48
from way back and then they came together on
12:51
a sunday and the moment he showed up while we
12:53
were praying during the time of prayer as Pastor
12:55
Emmanuel said was encouraging us during that
12:58
time of prayer I got a word about his mom getting
13:02
a word about he just showed up in fact he he
13:05
wasn't the one I was talking to the friend of
13:07
his but he followed his friend along for the
13:09
meeting got a word for his mom that the mom was
13:12
sick and I was like okay which I went to him
13:15
I asked him when was the last time you heard
13:17
from your mom is your mom okay he said oh the
13:19
last time he heard from his mom the mom The last
13:22
time was a Saturday before the Sunday. And then
13:25
the mom was sick. They had stomach issue and
13:27
leg issue. And then we prayed with him. We prayed
13:31
with him. I prayed with so much intensity like
13:33
it was my mom. Only for me to contact my mom
13:36
in the week. And she said that same Sunday she
13:38
was rushed to the hospital. And then when I checked
13:44
up on him in the week, this other person that
13:47
came to the service, I called them up. and then
13:49
I asked he said the mom is okay praise god the
13:52
mom is okay glory to god the god had intervened
13:55
he showed up in a meeting randomly he even lives
13:57
in magusa that was why he couldn't they couldn't
14:00
he couldn't attend the meeting praise god and
14:03
then what we'll see is that you showed up in
14:06
a meeting unknown to you there is a circumstance
14:10
so i was praying for his mom not knowing that
14:12
my mom was in a situation and the situation my
14:15
mom was in is a situation where I prayed long
14:17
time and we had gotten confirmation and the word
14:20
had come and she just simply took the drug and
14:22
then went back to the situation and I know I
14:26
know with every fiber of my being she chatted
14:27
me up in the morning I said you are it's done
14:30
I move around knowing that it's done because
14:34
it's done she had done tests months back and
14:37
they didn't see anything praise God You want
14:42
to hold on to the word, and this is to every
14:45
one of us that have gotten a word. We have prayed
14:49
for your family member. We have prayed for your
14:51
dad, your mom, for healing. Hold on to the word
14:55
of the Lord. Stand fast. Hold on to the word
14:57
of the Lord. Praise God. And I want us to see
15:00
that in this meeting, people will get direction.
15:02
And this year's meeting has ended. It was powerful.
15:04
We saw supernatural things, part of the things
15:07
people on, and not just people in the meeting.
15:10
people online. People online too. People online
15:15
too got word. There was word. There was a lady.
15:18
There was several persons got word for several
15:21
illnesses and God had addressed those issues.
15:25
And hands were laid on individuals. A lot of
15:28
words had come, confirmations and testimonies.
15:30
We had testimonies yesterday. And I want you
15:32
to know the magnitude of the event. It spans.
15:35
It's people tuned in globally. People tuned in
15:37
from all around. for this meeting. And if you
15:42
are not part of it, I pray and I plead with you
15:47
that the next that is coming in 2027 should not
15:49
pass you by if you're going to be around for
15:51
it. And even if you're not going to be here,
15:53
we have a means by which you can follow. And
15:55
you can follow because you don't have the means
15:57
to be here. But if you are here and you can make
16:00
it, and for some people, work and all of that
16:02
did not allow you, you can still be committed
16:05
and tune into it. There's nothing, there's no...
16:07
limitation to what God is able to do once you
16:11
commit to the things that you are believing him
16:13
for and when we gather like this prayer happens
16:16
we hear from God for ourselves we hear from God
16:19
for others and this is a break in the usual rhythm
16:22
this is a break in the usual rhythm what is important
16:25
and it requires sacrifice it requires sacrifice
16:29
I will keep using the word sacrifice there was
16:32
a time when we came to the island there was no
16:35
means of transport as we have these days and
16:38
then we needed to go to church for some of us
16:41
it will be you you you will have money but you
16:44
say oh we can't afford to go to pay for a taxi
16:47
to take us to the place for for us that time
16:49
we didn't have the luxury of the fact you didn't
16:51
have a taxi to call we will trek to service not
16:55
minding out we'll trek to service we'll find
16:58
a place we'll ensure that because once you something
17:02
is important to you make room for it You make
17:05
room for it you make room for it you make room
17:07
for it and if I'm saying this so that will resound
17:10
to you that if Healing is important to you. You
17:13
will posture yourself to receive To receive to
17:19
receive to receive and I want to just drop this
17:23
Looking at the time. I want to just drop this
17:25
very quickly and I want us to see something it
17:28
says They will hammer their swords into plowshares
17:33
their spares into pruning hooks. Their spares
17:37
into pruning hooks. I want you to see that they
17:41
are changing the tool for warfare into implement
17:45
or tool for farming. Tool for warfare into implement
17:50
or tool for farming. Tool for warfare into implement
17:54
or tool for farming. I want you to see that that
17:57
happened that we see we're seeing that in the
18:00
same Isaiah. The Isaiah 2 verse 4. Isaiah 2 verse
18:03
4 and then in Micah we're looking at that in
18:06
Micah 4 verse 3 Micah 4 verse 3 Micah 4 verse
18:12
3 and Isaiah 2 verse 4 Micah 4 verse 3 and this
18:19
same incident happened in 1st Samuel 1st Samuel
18:22
13 1st Samuel 13 19 to 22 the new King James
18:31
He says, now there was no blacksmith to be found
18:34
throughout all the land of Israel. For the Philistines
18:38
said, this the Hebrews will make swords or spears.
18:43
But all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines
18:46
to sharpen each man's plowshare, his macaque,
18:53
his axe, and his sickle. And the charge for his
18:58
sharpening was AEP, man, this is like eight grams
19:01
of silver, for the plowshare and the mattock,
19:04
the forks, and the axes, and to set the points
19:09
for the gods. I want us to look at that word,
19:14
we'll come back to it in 22. So it came about
19:18
that on the day of the battle, there was neither
19:24
sword nor spear. found in the hand of any of
19:29
the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. It
19:33
says, but they were found with Saul and Jonathan,
19:37
his son. I want you to picture this. You're going
19:41
to battle. What you have is famine implements
19:44
as just sharpened. And this, I don't know whether
19:48
you understand the magnitude of this. This is
19:50
a whole nation fighting against Philistines.
19:52
They are very much equipped than they are. Only
19:56
the king Hanesun has the right tools for battle.
20:01
Has the right tools for battle. And I want you
20:05
to look at that gird. Just go back to, yeah.
20:11
And the sharpen, and I don't know whether you
20:14
are able to picture. The plowshare is, it's very
20:16
funny when you think about it. The plowshare
20:18
is that thing that you put on the back of a ox
20:21
to plow the ground, to till the ground. That's
20:23
a plowshare. and then you have forks, smart forks,
20:26
that one is like it has a pick and then all of
20:29
those things are farming, they are farming implements.
20:32
They are farming implements. And this is what
20:35
they are going to use, just sharpen and use to
20:37
fight. The god there is another tool that they
20:40
use to guard the ox. If they use that, it has
20:45
a pointing head and then it's like this. And
20:48
then it's just attached, it's an eight meter
20:50
stick with that metal attached at the top. And
20:54
this is what they use to ensure that the ox stays
20:57
in line. This is what they use to ensure that
20:59
the ox stays in line. I want us to see something,
21:01
let me go a bit off to take us to Apostle Paul.
21:07
In Acts 26 verse 14. Acts 26 verse 14. And I
21:15
want us to see this metaphor was used by Jesus
21:18
speaking to him in Acts 9, but he's recounting
21:21
this too. to King Agrippa. He says, and when
21:29
we all had fallen to the ground, that's recounting
21:33
what happened in Acts 9, I heard a voice saying
21:36
to me, and saying in the Hebrew language, so
21:41
-so, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for
21:45
you to kick against the gods. And I want you
21:47
to think, because this is a metaphor, I want
21:50
you to think about this. The ox is trying to
21:52
go off and then, yeah, and then just imagine
21:55
the ox is kicking against an object that is sharp.
21:58
What do you think is gonna happen to the ox?
22:01
What is gonna happen to the ox? It's gonna be
22:04
injured, right? It's gonna be injured. And this
22:06
is a metaphor, it's not saying that, it's not
22:09
to be taken literally, right? I want you to put
22:12
it up in NLT, NLT explains it. NLT explains it,
22:16
put it up, the same person NLT says, and when
22:18
it fell to the ground, I heard a voice saying,
22:21
to me in Aramaic. So Saul, why are you persecuting
22:24
me? It is useless for you to fight against my
22:27
will. It is useless for you to fight against
22:30
my will. And I want you to picture this. Note
22:34
that this man, at this point in time, is now
22:38
converted. Praise God. At that point in time,
22:42
what he was doing is that he was warring against
22:45
the people of God. He was warring against the
22:48
people of God. And that was him fighting against
22:51
God's will. God's will is for his people to go
22:54
and, the Great Commission, right, to go and make
22:57
disciples of all nations. And this was him disrupting
23:00
that, killing some of them. We have in Act 7,
23:03
killing these people. And then we see him in
23:07
this place making a defense. We learned this
23:09
during the course of the week, Pastor Emmanuel
23:11
taught us during the course of the week. It was
23:12
him making a defense for why he believes what
23:15
he believes. And brothers and sisters, you have
23:18
to make a defense for why you believe what you
23:19
believe. No matter what we say is an apology.
23:23
You're not apologetic. We say it's not to give
23:25
an apology for why you believe what you believe.
23:27
You are making a defense for that. And he was
23:30
defending himself in front of King Agrippa and
23:32
then the governor of Festos. I want us to see
23:35
25, 16. Let's go back 25 verse 16. 25 verse 16.
23:45
So 25 or 16 it says I say I pointed to you that
23:50
the Roman law does not conduct Does not does
23:53
not does not convict people without a trial says
23:56
they must be given an opportunity to confront
24:00
the accusers and defend themselves and defend
24:03
themselves in the King James you see that the
24:05
defense go to go to the King James Say defend
24:09
themselves go to the King James says and the
24:11
King James he says I said an answer to them,
24:14
the accuser that the word there is, he says to
24:16
put a charge, he says to deliver to any man for
24:22
destruction before his accuser meets face to
24:25
face and has the opportunity to answer for himself
24:29
concerning the charge against him. Answer for
24:31
himself concerning the charge against him. And
24:33
he says he has the opportunity, him having the
24:38
opportunity to make that difference. He says
24:40
having the opportunity to make that difference
24:42
is him taking the opportunity, is him making
24:45
that stand, because he says had, right? He uses
24:48
the word had. He uses the word had, meaning that
24:52
the apostle Paul seizes the opportunity to make
24:57
the defense for God and the gospel. Seizes the
24:59
opportunity to make the defense for God and the
25:01
gospel. And look at this, look at what happened.
25:04
I want us to note that in what had happened in
25:07
first Samuel, with the tools that the children
25:11
of Israel had to fight. I want you to know, in
25:14
this next chapter, you see that they still won
25:16
that battle. They still won that battle. And
25:19
you can be here and you feel that you don't have
25:21
the right tools to fight. I want you to be reminded
25:24
that the tools or the weapons of our warfare,
25:26
as Crypto says, they are not carnal, right? They
25:29
are not carnal. But there's something about the
25:32
tools that we use to fight that beats any other
25:35
tool. Because the person that is with us is greater
25:40
than the people or the persons that are against
25:42
us. And we say that this battle is not a physical
25:45
battle. This battle is spiritual and that is
25:47
what we explain why they had the victory that
25:50
they had. Praise God. And even when you take
25:53
your mind back to the case of Saul, Saul for
25:56
himself, not the shift, he was fighting the people
26:00
of God. Now what he is doing is making the defense.
26:04
And Apostle Paul we know and we have seen through
26:06
scripture is a co -laborer. Praise God. It's
26:10
only God that can change, and by the way, this
26:13
whole idea of plowshare, beating your swords
26:15
to plowshare, makes very perfect sense when you
26:18
superimpose it on the actions of Apostle Paul.
26:21
Apostle Paul was a man that was fighting the
26:24
church. Now we see him defending the church.
26:26
Now we see him planting churches. We see him
26:30
laboring in the lives of people. We see him raising
26:32
men. See him raising men. See him raising disciples.
26:35
See him raising, all of this was a function of
26:38
him God intervening or coming into the situation,
26:42
praise God. And there is nothing that is impossible
26:46
with God. There is nothing that is impossible
26:48
with God. And I want us to see this, just to
26:53
stare us up, in Matthew. Let's go to Mark, because
26:56
there's Matthew 9, 1 to 8. There's Mark 2, 1
27:00
to 12. Matthew 9, 1 to 8. Mark 2, 1 to 12. And
27:06
there's Luke. 5 17 to 26 just write that down
27:13
is all the same account Let's look at let's look
27:19
at look let's just look at looks account Let's
27:25
look at looks at looks account Look 5 17 to 26
27:37
very quickly he says okay we're familiar with
27:41
the story the story is this man needed healing
27:45
he was lame and was paralyzed note that his friends
27:49
took the effort to go and ensure that this man
27:53
meets with the solution for to his problem and
27:57
this is the posture this is the mindset that
27:59
when you come into a meeting by the way there
28:01
were a group of people that were criticizing
28:03
what was happening but there's a group of people
28:05
that needed their friend to get healing needed
28:09
their friend to be healed of because they know
28:11
that there's solution when they arrive praise
28:14
god and i want you to know that there's solution
28:16
in this house and the solution is going to come
28:20
to you when you post yourself to receive not
28:22
when you post yourself to criticize or pursue
28:25
yourself to say i don't know i don't know i don't
28:28
know but you know because you have heard what
28:32
are you hearing What are you seeing? What are
28:35
you believing God for? There's a posture and
28:37
these friends did not see any limitation He opened
28:41
up the roof and they knew that once he landed
28:44
in front of Jesus it would change because there
28:47
was no sickness that came across the Lord that
28:49
there was no that it didn't turn around and Because
28:52
we have that same God is the same God yesterday
28:55
today and forever He's the same God today. Praise
28:57
God is the same God today is the same God even
29:01
right now and it will come and that situation
29:03
will pass in the name of Jesus that situation
29:05
will pass in the name of Jesus. I want us to
29:07
be praying because when you entertain entertain
29:11
any form of critical mind any form of thinking
29:15
contrary to what God wants you to do you are
29:19
the one that is putting yourself putting the
29:21
barrier you're the one that's putting the barrier
29:23
because for God is done already for God it is
29:27
done already and for many of us we know this
29:30
We know this to be true because we have seen
29:33
family members get healed. We have seen people's
29:37
situation turn around in a split. We have seen
29:39
circumstances and situations turn. Praise God.
29:42
I want us to rise to our feet. We appreciate
29:47
you being here today. We hope you carried this
29:49
word with you throughout your week. Don't forget
29:52
