Releasing Our Burdens Beneath the Waves Msg 36 · INSIGHT FOR LIVING: Biblical Wisdom For Everyday Living

  Speaker 1: Well, if you want a fresh thought, we are floating
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: today where Jesus walked right here on these waters. Pus
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and let the wonder ind no need to look at
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: me all the way through this look around. You'll not
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: be here again, most likely. This grand sea we have
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: read about and heard about for those of us raised
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in the church, as long as we can remember. What
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you may not know is the sea is thirteen miles
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: long north to south, seven and a half miles wide
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: widest part on the north end, it is thirty two
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: miles around in circumference at its deepest level between one
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty and one hundred.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: And fifty feet deep.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Really a small body of water that doesn't officially deserve
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the title of a sea, but more a lake, a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: lake that contained the fish Jesus ate.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Even after his resurrection, Jesus.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Cooked along the seashore, broiled fish early in the morning,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: right here along some part of this.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Seashore.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It's always been one of my favorite places on the planet.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: As I said earlier, there's no way they can make
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it religious, which keeps it authentic.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's just a body of water.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Great things happen on water, and treacherous things as well.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Both occurred that night.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Following the feeding of those more than ten thousand people,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a remarkable miracle happened as well as before that, a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: small body of frightened men who knew better than to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: be afraid. Mark six contains the account of the feeding
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of those many hungry men and women, boys and girls. Jesus,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: knowing what he was doing, had his disciples serve as
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the ushers, handing out the fish and the bread, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they kept handing it out and kept handing it out.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Only Elisha, whom we met the other evening, remembered.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Exactly how that looked and what that was like. Andrew
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: had taken his lunch, and Jesus had multiplied it to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: such a place that when they finished, and everyone had
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: more than they could eat, they gathered twelve baskets full
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of bread and pieces of.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Fish left over. He had been a busy, busy day
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that ran into the evening.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: In fact, it was late when he fed him. So
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: at the end of that day, after they all ate,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and we read in verse forty two, they were all satisfied.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Remember that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: They picked up the twelve full baskets of the bridge
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and the fish, and everyone left.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Full Mark adds.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: A very very intimate part of the story that began
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: immediately his favorite word. And immediately, Remember they have just
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: been fed. Remember they have just been satisfied. Remember they've
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: had more than enough. Immediately he made his disciples get
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: into the boat and go ahead of him to the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: other side. To BETHSAIDA. BETHSAIDA is on the far north end,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: as the river flowing from the Hula Lake comes down
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and brings its water into the sea of Galley. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: behind you where you're sitting. They were to go over
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to BETHSAIDA. So they must have been on this side.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Or perhaps that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: As he sent them on their way into the night.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Remember most of them were very familiar with fishing, boating,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and sailing. But as they got onto the sea when
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it was evening verse forty seven, the boat was in
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the middle of the sea, just as we are in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the middle of the sea, and he was alone on
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the land. By the way, he bade them farewell, we
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: read in verse forty six, and departed to the mountain
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to pray. Doesn't tell us which one, but it would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: have been one of these around perhaps over here on
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the west side. And while up there, as would often happen.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The night, winds grew and the storm caused the sea
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to become restless. When you're on a sea like this,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it seems impossible for it to be that turbulent. But
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: let a little wind pick up that. The storm blow in,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and it's treacherous. It's over one hundred feet deep. Though
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they were seasoned sailors, it was night, they were sure
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they would make it to Bitsida.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: By the way. They had just been fed a miracle.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: They had just.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Had their needs more than met. They were all remember satisfied.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: How like us, in the midst of a testing time,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: shortly after being wonderfully.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Satisfied by our loving and compassionate God, we rush to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: fear when a test comes.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: When we're weary, it's good to get away and be alone.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus models this force by going up on the mountain.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: When we're in doubt. He abundantly provides. When we're full
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and enjoying life at.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Its best, listen to me. The tests come.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: They often come on the back side of a great victory.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: A great victory, you can expect it when you return home.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You can expect it shortly after. This is just a memory.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Expect the testing it will come. These disciples, with full
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: stomachs are now in the middle of a dark sea,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and the waves are increasing. And we read they were
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: straining at the oars Verse forty eight, for the wind
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was against them at about the fourth watch of the night,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: three o'clock to six o'clock.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: In the morning.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Is there any more fearful, eerie time of the night
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: than three to six early in the morning.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: They fought the waves through the night.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: He comes to them walking on the sea. I can't
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: just read on look at that body of water. Somehow
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he trucked across it all the way out to their
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: little boat in the midst having come down from the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: mountain into the night air and onto the sea.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: And we read they all saw him. They supposed that
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: it was a ghost. They were frightened again, Mark's favorite word.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Immediately immediately he spoke with them and said to them,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: take courage, do not be afraid. The most frequently mentioned
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: command in all the Bible is fear not. It appears
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: more often than any other. Here is one of those occasions.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Men men, it is I. If I'm here, the boat
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: won't sink. If you're with me, you're safe. And then
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: something else happened. That was miraculous.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: He got into the.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Boat with them and the wind stopped, and they were
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: greatly astonished. Why on earth would they be Why on
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the sea would they be astonished. He's been doing miracles
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: since they began following him.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Have fished much in your life, but when you're fishing
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: out in a bay or on a lake, there are
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: times when the wind dies down completely, when the surface
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of the water becomes absolutely still. When we used to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: fish the bays in South Texas, my granddad and my
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: father would call that that very smooth water a slick.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Not a good word for it, a slick.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: In fact, my granddaddy reached into his pocket and pulled
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: out a penny and he said, what's this, No, Charles,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And he flipped that penny and it fell into the bay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: And I could count the ripples out on that slick.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Now, that slick had been in process of forming for
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: an hour or more that quiet morning. But in this case,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the slick immediately followed the storm.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I think the boat was still rocking and the water
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: was slick.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: How strange was that it fell? And as the rocking
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: died down, we read he had gotten into the boat
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: with them, and the wind stopped, and they were greatly astonished.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And here's the reason, one of the most heartbreaking verses
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in all the scriptures, because they had not gained any insight.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: From the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Do you hear that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Less than twenty four hours from the feeding of thousands
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of people, they witnessed it. They served the meal, they
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: took up the remainder. Their stomachs were full. Everyone's stomach
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was full. Their needs had been met in abundance, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: they were satisfied. And they gained no insight from that provision.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: This is a wonderful time for us to reflect not
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on the disciples, but on our own lives. First of all,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to reflect on the blessings of God in your life.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Only you can do that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So, sitting as if you were alone on this boat,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: push the pause button and replay the past several months.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Some of you could even say years of the favor
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of God on your life. While you're looking back, remember
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: some of the tests, some of the storms that have arisen.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It may have happened in your own family, perhaps at
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the place where you work your church, may have gone
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: through a low tide period of time, your marriage or
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the breakup of such. The storms have come, leaving you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: feeling alone, and perhaps as you look ahead afraid, and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: then as you look back, remember the times he stepped
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: onto your boat. The storm was raging and it looked
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like it would never get back under control, and within
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a matter of a brief period of time. I'm smiling
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: because I'm thinking of one in Cynthia's in my life,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: where he got on our boat and the water became
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a slick Our boat still rocked a little, but he
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: was there, and then control.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: It is. I don't be afraid. And now I want
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: you to check on the condition of your heart. Have
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you learned? Have you gained any insight from the passage
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: of time? And you could mark perhaps.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: At one of those testing moments, or maybe for you
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you would have to say, it's been more blessing than testing.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Have you gained any.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Insight from his satisfying you with good things? Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: The poetists put it this way. One ship sails east,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the other sails west. Regardless of how the wind blows.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: It is the set of the sail, not the gale,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that determines the way that we go.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: The great concern in our lives ought not be.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The wind, or even the direction of the wind, or
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the velocity of the wind. The secret is in the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: setting of the sails. You and your Lord Jesus Christ
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: are sailing the ship of life together. You will not
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: give account for another soul. When you stand before your Savior,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you will give account for yourself. We'll look at that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: even closer, when we are together in the theater at Methshan.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: We'll leave it at that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: You will look back at how you sailed your ship,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: how you directed the rudder of the boat that you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: were on. This is a great time for us to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: be still and learn again that God is God. Back
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: when I was still young, still in my late thirties
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and pastoring a church I had just taken at the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: age of thirty six in southern California, for some reason
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: in her late years of life, Cory ten Boom chose
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to attend our church. And while you may think that
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: might have seen a real honor.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Which of course it was. You're the preacher and part
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: of your audience is Cory ten Boom. You feel a
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: sense of intimidation. She never calls that.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: By the way, there was an occasion when I asked
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Corey to come and lead the offer Tory prayers.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: The only time I've ever witnessed a standing ovation before.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: An offer Tory prayer was sent up, just her presence,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and she stood hardly as tall as this microphone stands here,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: hardly up to my chest, A small godly woman. So
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: we got to know each other a little bit, not
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: nearly well enough. On one occasion, I was standing at
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the door of our old church building, woods and Malvern.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: The kids were still little, playing around, dancing around, jerking
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: on her dress and pulling on her hose. And she
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: stood there and said to me, the pastor's mind, all
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: these your children.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I said, I've never seen them before. I wanted to say, kids, Tom,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: you're gonna You're gonna break Corey tinboo.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I said, yeah, yes, ma'am, Yes, ma'am, these are these
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: are my children. She said, let me see your hands.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: So I put my hands out and she put her
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: little hands under mine, little stubby fingers, and she said,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Pastor spend All, I want to tell you something.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Hold everything loosely.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: If you do not hold everything loosely, it will hurt
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: from the fodder prize your fingers loose and takes them
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: from you. I will never forget h that day. It
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: was as if a slick formed around my life. That
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: one statement was like the penny that hit the surface
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of the water. Still count the ripples how many times
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in my life? Following then, I remembered her words, hold.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Everything loosely, Otherwise it will hurt when the vodder prize
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: your fingers loose and takes them from you. We obviously
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: are not one of the twelve. We can only imagine
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: what that would have been like. But we are one
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: of his disciples.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Today because we, like they are people with a similar nature.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: We tend to cling too tightly to things we need
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: to release. She's right, it hurts if he must take
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: them from us. Today would be a great day to release.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Anyone who means more to you than he or she
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: should mean. Only the Lord deserves that that singular place
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: only he should be clung to.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You have brought with you a rock.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I want you to hold it in your hand right now.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I want to give you some examples of what this
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: rock may represent. It may, in fact be that person
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: who has become for you too much, and I do
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: mean that a person can become like an idol to you. Today,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: as you release this rock into the sea, it is
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: your way of saying, I give that person to you, Lord.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: It's to you I cling and I I give you
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: my word. Never again will that person have the first
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: place in my life.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Only you.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: The rock for you may represent something shameful you need
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to put behind you. You may have carried this weight
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: long enough, you have brought it before the Lord, you
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: have gone past it, but you keep returning to it,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and it haunts you. It keeps you from fulfilling your
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: best and seeing yourself as one who should and could
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: serve him better because you're you're holding on to this
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: shameful thing.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: That you've held on too long enough.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It may mean it may represent someone you need to forgive.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I've lived long enough on this planet to learn that
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: everybody has someone who has hurt.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Them, every one of us.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Some have several they could name. Probably it was deliberate,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: it may not have even been deliberate, but the result
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: has been a lengthy period of pain it has caused you. Today,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: when you release your rock, you release that long standing
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: broken relationship. You give it to God, you let it go.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: It may be a habit that you have kept cultivating
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: long enough. It's not good for you.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: You need to break it. It may be a burden.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: You need to release it. You came on this tour
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: with the burden. You don't want to go back with it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Let the rock represent that burden. If I could identify yours,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I would stand alongside you and help you, but I can't.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Only you know that it may be an addiction that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: needs to get resolved. This is your first step towards
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: seeking the help you need to get past the addiction.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: This rock could be a disappointment that you need to
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: get past. You've stayed in the shadow of the disappointment
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: long enough. It could be a dream that you need
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: to get beyond. God's answer may be for that dream.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I know you want it. I know you've lived for
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: it and long for it. You release the rock today,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: saying to.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: The Lord, I'm willing to accept no and let the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: dream go.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: It may be a secret sin. You need to stop
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: hiding a wound. You must let God heal for you
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: a fear. You must conquer one of your own children.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: You must turn over to the Lord and leave her,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: or leave him in his hands. Remember it will hurt.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Father must pry your fingers loose and take them from you.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Perhaps it's apparent you need to quit blaming as you
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: drop the rock into the water.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Today you release the blame, and you.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Will find it possible to fulfill the command to honor
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: your father and your mother. Not one who has ever
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: lived is anywhere near perfect.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Release today the blame.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe a cherished relationship you've longed for but is not happening.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Release it. One by one.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: God took them from me, all the things I valued most.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Till I was empty handed.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Every glittering toy was lost, and I walked to Earth's highways,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: grieving in my rags and poverty, until I heard his
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: voice inviting lift those empty hands to me. And I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: turned my hands toward Heaven, and he filled them with
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: a store of his own transcendent riches till they could
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: contain no more. And at last I comprehended with my
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: stupid mind and dull that God could not pour his.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Riches into hands already full.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: My prayer is that every one of us goes back
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to the shore of the Sea of Galilee empty handed. Now,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: how we release these rocks is going to be a
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: little bit of a complicated experience. When I first dreamed
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: this up, we had a few hundred on the tour
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: with us. Now we have it looks like multiple hundreds. Obviously,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: we are going to have to take our time, and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: we're going to take about fifteen minutes of silence. No music,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: no talking, no singing, silence. One of the greatest sounds
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: God ever gave us stillness. The only thing you will
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: hear is the sound of the rocks as they hit
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the surface of the water. No matter how much you
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: are tempted to share with someone else what the rock represented, don't.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: You start.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: It'll be a buzz of something other than what this
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: moment could mean for all of us. We'll spend fifteen
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: minutes in total silence as we released to the Lord
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: whatever it is that we need to gift to him
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: for these next fifteen minutes, Our Father, we give you
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: our thoughts, our decisions, our actions, are past, our presence,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: our future. We are yours.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: We release these things to you the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
