- 0:12Speaker 1: I love the Lord.
- 0:13Speaker 2: He worded my pride, and he pitied every grown great
- 0:18Speaker 2: is the Lord, our God, our savior. I was soon
- 0:20Speaker 2: coming King. He is worthy to be praised from the
- 0:24Speaker 2: rising of the sun to the going down of the same.
- 0:27Speaker 2: It is the name of the Lord that is to
- 0:31Speaker 2: be praised. Oh that man would praise the Lord, Oh
- 0:36Speaker 2: that man would give him the glory in honor that
- 0:39Speaker 2: is due unto his great name. But let the redeemed
- 0:43Speaker 2: of the Lord say so whom he hath redeemed out
- 0:46Speaker 2: of the hand of the enemy. Every knee shall bow,
- 0:49Speaker 2: every tongue will confess that he is Lord.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Amen.
- 0:54Speaker 2: All right, God, bless you once again. We of so
- 0:58Speaker 2: grateful to the Lord for this day that he has made,
- 1:00Speaker 2: and we shall rejoice and be glad in him who
- 1:02Speaker 2: is the God of our salvation. We are a man
- 1:06Speaker 2: in the word of the Lord, and another a man
- 1:09Speaker 2: saying of Jesus his words very much, a man relevant
- 1:15Speaker 2: for our lives. And we a man take those words seriously.
- 1:20Speaker 2: And today again we are going to take a few
- 1:22Speaker 2: moments to examine uh three words recorded and the Gospel
- 1:28Speaker 2: of John the final chapter. Amen is Jesus in his
- 1:32Speaker 2: post resurrected body has been visiting with his apostles, preparing
- 1:37Speaker 2: them a man final preparations, if you will, for the
- 1:42Speaker 2: Amen for the mission of going out into all the
- 1:46Speaker 2: world preaching the Gospel to every creature.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Amen.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Now, of course, the Bible has great invitations given to mankind,
- 1:56Speaker 2: and this is one that we're going to discover today
- 1:59Speaker 2: in our Amen session. Come and dine, Come and dine, Amen.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Before we delve in, we just want to, as always, Amen,
- 2:11Speaker 2: thank God for each and every one of you who
- 2:13Speaker 2: pray for and support the work of this ministry. Certainly
- 2:17Speaker 2: those of you who do so by giving, we give
- 2:22Speaker 2: God the glory and honor and praise for you. Also
- 2:24Speaker 2: for those of you pray for the work of this ministry,
- 2:27Speaker 2: praying me that the word of the Lord will have
- 2:29Speaker 2: free course. We simply Amen, cannot take that for granted,
- 2:34Speaker 2: that God's word Amen, needs to have free course. There
- 2:37Speaker 2: are those who would hinder Satan being of course the
- 2:40Speaker 2: chief among them who would hinder the flow of the Gospel,
- 2:44Speaker 2: the word of the Lord. He comes to steal it
- 2:46Speaker 2: out of the hearts of men. So we always want
- 2:48Speaker 2: to pray that God's word will Amen, have free course
- 2:52Speaker 2: and be effectual. And then, of course we thank God
- 2:55Speaker 2: for those of you who also are subscribers to this
- 2:59Speaker 2: party cast and certainly those of you who a man
- 3:04Speaker 2: will share it.
- 3:05Speaker 1: With someone else.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Please, please, it's important that we amen again do what
- 3:11Speaker 2: God has a man call for us to do, and
- 3:14Speaker 2: that is disseminating the word of the Living God. And
- 3:18Speaker 2: before we begin, it's always to take just a moment amen,
- 3:21Speaker 2: as we invoke the presence of the Lord Father. Again,
- 3:23Speaker 2: we just want to thank you for this another day
- 3:25Speaker 2: that you've allowed us to see. Thank you for all
- 3:27Speaker 2: of your benefits and blessings that you bestowed upon us.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Thank you for the grace of God that brings salvation
- 3:32Speaker 2: that has appeared into all men. Teaching us to deny
- 3:36Speaker 2: and godland is a worldly lust, and we should live
- 3:38Speaker 2: holy in godly right here in this present world. We
- 3:42Speaker 2: pray now even our Lord, that eyes will be open,
- 3:45Speaker 2: ears will be unstopped, and hearts will be changed for
- 3:48Speaker 2: the glory of God, for your Kingdom, for your majesty.
- 3:51Speaker 2: We pray and ask in the name of Jesus, the
- 3:53Speaker 2: Christ of Cavery. Amen and Amen, come and come. The
- 4:02Speaker 2: Bible has by the way great invitations again that has
- 4:07Speaker 2: been given to mankind. One of them in the Old
- 4:11Speaker 2: Testament invites us come, everyone that thirst, come by without
- 4:18Speaker 2: money and without Christ. And then, of course the Great
- 4:21Speaker 2: Invitation of Jesus, the Gospel of Matthew tells us come
- 4:25Speaker 2: to me. Jesus says, all who are laboring and heavy laden,
- 4:30Speaker 2: and he says, I will give you rest. Take a
- 4:34Speaker 2: man my yoke upon you, and learn of me. My
- 4:38Speaker 2: yoke is easy, and my burden is light. And he says,
- 4:42Speaker 2: you will find rest for your souls. And then, of
- 4:46Speaker 2: course the final a man book of the Bible, the
- 4:49Speaker 2: Revelation of Jesus Christ enclosing the mystery of God. Therein
- 4:55Speaker 2: is a final appeal the Spirit and the bride a
- 4:58Speaker 2: man for all to be partakers of God's gift of
- 5:02Speaker 2: eternal life. Is in verse number seventeen of Revelation twenty two.
- 5:07Speaker 2: The Bible says, the Spirit and the Bride, say come
- 5:11Speaker 2: and let him that heareth, Say come and let him
- 5:15Speaker 2: that is a thirst come, and whosoever will let him
- 5:20Speaker 2: take of the.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Water of life freely. But again amen.
- 5:25Speaker 2: The invitation that Jesus spoke of semi kind of a
- 5:31Speaker 2: casual way. We would take it that way. Anyway, but
- 5:34Speaker 2: we want to go a little further with it.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Again.
- 5:37Speaker 2: He extended it to his apostles post resurrection, and that
- 5:42Speaker 2: is again this invitation for them to come and dine.
- 5:48Speaker 2: We begin in the Gospel of John, verse number twenty
- 5:52Speaker 2: I'm sorry, verse number one of chapter twenty one, the last.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Chapter of the Gospel of John.
- 6:00Speaker 2: At verse number one, we begin reading from the King
- 6:03Speaker 2: James version. And after the Bible says these things, Jesus
- 6:07Speaker 2: showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberius,
- 6:12Speaker 2: and on this wise showed he himself. There were together Simon,
- 6:18Speaker 2: Peter and Thomas called Dinamus. You remember Thomas, of course
- 6:22Speaker 2: doubting Thomas, Nathaniel of Cana of Galilee, and the sons
- 6:26Speaker 2: of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. So there
- 6:30Speaker 2: were a number of them. About half of the apostles
- 6:34Speaker 2: were a man present a man. When Jesus makes another
- 6:39Speaker 2: post resurrection appearance, the Bible says in verse number three,
- 6:43Speaker 2: Simon Peter saith, unto them, I go a fishing. So
- 6:48Speaker 2: they say, unto him, we also go with thee. So
- 6:51Speaker 2: they went forth and entered into a ship immediately, and
- 6:55Speaker 2: that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was
- 7:01Speaker 2: now come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples
- 7:07Speaker 2: knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, children,
- 7:12Speaker 2: have you any meat? They answered him no, And he
- 7:17Speaker 2: said unto them, cast the net on the right side
- 7:23Speaker 2: of the ship, and ye shall find They cast therefore,
- 7:30Speaker 2: and now they were not able to draw it, for
- 7:33Speaker 2: the multitude of fishes. Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved,
- 7:39Speaker 2: saith unto Peter, it is the Lord. They didn't immediately
- 7:43Speaker 2: understand and know that it was Jesus whom they were
- 7:46Speaker 2: talking to. Evidently, and so John says, it is the Lord. Now,
- 7:51Speaker 2: when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
- 7:54Speaker 2: girt his fish's coat about him, for he was naked,
- 7:58Speaker 2: and did cast himself into the sea. And the other
- 8:03Speaker 2: disciples came in a little ship, for they were not
- 8:07Speaker 2: far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits
- 8:11Speaker 2: that's about three hundred feet, dragging the net with fishes.
- 8:18Speaker 2: As soon verse number nine, as they were come to land,
- 8:22Speaker 2: they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon,
- 8:29Speaker 2: and bread. Jesus verse ten saith unto them, bring of
- 8:36Speaker 2: the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went
- 8:42Speaker 2: up drew the net to land full of great fishes,
- 8:48Speaker 2: and one hundred and fifty three, and for all there
- 8:52Speaker 2: were so many, Yet was the net not broken. Jesus'
- 8:59Speaker 2: final verse saith unto them, here's our invitation, come and dine.
- 9:08Speaker 2: And none of the disciples there ask him, who art thou,
- 9:11Speaker 2: knowing that it was the Lord, come and dine, And
- 9:18Speaker 2: we might kind of casually, and perhaps we have over
- 9:22Speaker 2: the centuries many may perhaps have com casually kind of
- 9:27Speaker 2: dismissed this in this narrative, this invitation for Jesus, that
- 9:32Speaker 2: Jesus rather made for the disciples to come and dine,
- 9:37Speaker 2: simply looking at it. And some may, of course, we
- 9:40Speaker 2: know we have people have seen the miraculous power of
- 9:43Speaker 2: Jesus again with the fish that were caught. And certainly
- 9:48Speaker 2: also where did he get the fish that he already
- 9:51Speaker 2: had prepared for them when they got to the place,
- 9:55Speaker 2: it was already on the fire.
- 9:58Speaker 1: He also had bread ready to get it from.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Nevertheless, with their laboring, he says, come and dine. God
- 10:08Speaker 2: had a man preparation for them. And by the way,
- 10:11Speaker 2: God will supply all that we'll ever need. All we
- 10:14Speaker 2: need to do is come and trust him. And of
- 10:17Speaker 2: course Jesus had called these men. They were fishermen, most
- 10:21Speaker 2: of them, well, most of this group were fishermen by occupation.
- 10:26Speaker 2: And you remember when he called them, he said, follow me.
- 10:31Speaker 2: When he commissioned them, he said, I will make you
- 10:34Speaker 2: fishers of men.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Follow me.
- 10:39Speaker 2: This is important, and I will make you fishers of men. Now,
- 10:43Speaker 2: of course, after Jesus was crucified and put in that tomb,
- 10:50Speaker 2: and of course certainly raised from the dead, the disciples,
- 10:55Speaker 2: of course, obviously they had returned to their occupation, as
- 11:01Speaker 2: it were, to feed their families, make a living as fishermen.
- 11:05Speaker 2: And of course even after they had seen the Lord,
- 11:08Speaker 2: we've already saw that. I mean, this is not the
- 11:11Speaker 2: first occasion. Of course, they've seen the resurrected Jesus. They
- 11:15Speaker 2: still went on in their occupation as fishermen. But in
- 11:21Speaker 2: this particular occasion, that night they had toiled, and in
- 11:25Speaker 2: the morning they had caught nothing. Jesus said, have you
- 11:28Speaker 2: any meat, and they said, no, we've got nothing. But
- 11:32Speaker 2: Jesus told them to cast the net on the other side.
- 11:34Speaker 1: By the way.
- 11:35Speaker 2: If you're familiar with the gospel narratives and man, there
- 11:38Speaker 2: was another occasion wherein Jesus had told them to do
- 11:41Speaker 2: the same thing, and Peter and the others said, Lord,
- 11:44Speaker 2: we have toiled all night.
- 11:45Speaker 1: And you know we're pretty good at.
- 11:47Speaker 2: This, and you are now telling us to, you know,
- 11:51Speaker 2: try it another way, go another direction. Nevertheless, the Bible
- 11:56Speaker 2: says they obeyed. And even in that particular instance as
- 11:59Speaker 2: well a man, they caught a great number of fish,
- 12:03Speaker 2: and they had to have help from their partners to
- 12:07Speaker 2: a man get all of the fish into both of
- 12:10Speaker 2: those boats. But on this particular occasion and then again
- 12:14Speaker 2: a great great hall of fish. Because of their obedience,
- 12:21Speaker 2: they brought in a great hall of fish.
- 12:25Speaker 1: And by the way, our.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Way of going about things, you know, listen, our way
- 12:32Speaker 2: is futility. But when we do it His way, when
- 12:35Speaker 2: we do it God's way, it is fruitfulness. And this
- 12:38Speaker 2: is why again when the disciples, the apostles obeyed Jesus,
- 12:43Speaker 2: these eleven a man that were commissioned by Jesus, a
- 12:50Speaker 2: man in post resurrection, along with the other disciples. And
- 12:53Speaker 2: we'll discover, of course, on their pentecosts there were one
- 12:56Speaker 2: hundred and twenty disciples altogether in the upper room on
- 12:59Speaker 2: the day that the Holy Ghost was.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Sent down from heaven.
- 13:03Speaker 2: These men obeyed Jesus to be now become fishers of men,
- 13:10Speaker 2: yet tax collectors, LEVI being one of them, and a
- 13:14Speaker 2: man of other occupations, a man they left there, a
- 13:19Speaker 2: man earthly occupations, to become full fledged, a man disciples,
- 13:28Speaker 2: a man of Jesus, becoming fishers of men. And now,
- 13:32Speaker 2: of course here we are, two thousand years later. If
- 13:35Speaker 2: you will, a man looking back, look at the great
- 13:40Speaker 2: number of fish that have been hauled into the kingdom
- 13:46Speaker 2: by the obedience, through the obedience of these men who
- 13:51Speaker 2: a man.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Obeyed the directive of Jesus. Amen. Their obedience on that
- 13:58Speaker 1: day brought in a.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Great whole officient They needed help, and we all need
- 14:02Speaker 2: each other's help.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Amen.
- 14:04Speaker 2: But when we do it the way that Jesus has
- 14:07Speaker 2: directed us and ordered us to do it, Amen, we
- 14:11Speaker 2: will amen see fruitfulness.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Amen.
- 14:15Speaker 2: And Jesus, by the way, is the one who said
- 14:18Speaker 2: the harvest is plentiful. The harvest is plentiful, but the
- 14:23Speaker 2: laborers are few. And one of the prayers that we
- 14:26Speaker 2: are commanded to pray in the Bible is pray ye
- 14:29Speaker 2: the Lord of the harvest. They were sending forth laborers
- 14:34Speaker 2: into His harvest. We need, Amen, those who will a
- 14:40Speaker 2: man intercede and pray for again the word of the
- 14:43Speaker 2: Lord the Kingdom, Amen, the work of the ministry, Amen,
- 14:47Speaker 2: and the laboring that is needed for this great harvest
- 14:52Speaker 2: of souls. And I am of the belief Amen in
- 14:54Speaker 2: my mind that God is going to do a great work. Amen.
- 14:58Speaker 2: I'm praying for revival. I'm praying for souls. I'm praying
- 15:02Speaker 2: a man that those who will a man obey and
- 15:05Speaker 2: will be obedient and will be.
- 15:08Speaker 1: A man.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Diligent in the call that God has for the church
- 15:14Speaker 2: and the mission that God has for the church. I'm
- 15:17Speaker 2: praying that God will use I mean, I'm so serious
- 15:21Speaker 2: about this. Raise up a generation, a man, a generation
- 15:27Speaker 2: that will obey, a generation that will be passionate as
- 15:30Speaker 2: the apostle Paul was a man for the harvest of
- 15:34Speaker 2: souls that are yet to come into the Kingdom. That's
- 15:38Speaker 2: why the church is still here, by the way, because Amen,
- 15:41Speaker 2: there are souls that are being saved. God, i believe,
- 15:44Speaker 2: is adding to the church daily such as should be saved.
- 15:49Speaker 1: But here's the beautiful part.
- 15:50Speaker 2: When our labor and I'm closing in just a moment
- 15:54Speaker 2: here when our labor is done here in this world
- 15:59Speaker 2: as fissures of man, guess what, Jesus has a great
- 16:05Speaker 2: supper already prepared for us as his special guests. As
- 16:12Speaker 2: a matter of fact, we are the bride of Christ. Amen.
- 16:15Speaker 2: You remember again when the disciples got to land. Amen,
- 16:20Speaker 2: Jesus already had amen food prepared for them, and he
- 16:26Speaker 2: said in that invitation, come and dyne, Come and dye.
- 16:34Speaker 2: That is exactly what we will do. Amen, This is
- 16:38Speaker 2: an invitation that's extended to us to come and die.
- 16:42Speaker 2: You remember the parable that Jesus spoke about, Amen, the
- 16:46Speaker 2: highways and the hedges of the servants going out to
- 16:50Speaker 2: compel men to come in come, in, come, in come
- 16:54Speaker 2: in the kingdom, the kingdom, and there was still room.
- 16:57Speaker 2: And he said, go go go, go get the blood,
- 17:00Speaker 2: and go get the lame. Go get the lame, Go
- 17:02Speaker 2: get those who are a man poor and can't afford. Again,
- 17:07Speaker 2: one of the great invitations in the Bible, Old Testament,
- 17:10Speaker 2: come and buy with our money and with thout Christ,
- 17:16Speaker 2: Come and dye. That is the invitation that Jesus is still.
- 17:23Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's alive, it's it's extended even now.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Come and dine, and and and and this is where
- 17:31Speaker 2: we will be with Jesus. Amen, at that great supper
- 17:35Speaker 2: that's already pad it prepared, the marriage supper of the
- 17:39Speaker 2: Lamb and the bride, the bride of Christ. Of course,
- 17:42Speaker 2: being the Church a man, we will be with the Master.
- 17:46Speaker 2: We will be the guest of honor. We will be
- 17:50Speaker 2: the bride. Amen, at the wedding feast of the Lamb
- 17:55Speaker 2: of God, who took away our guilt, who took away
- 17:58Speaker 2: our sins, gave as his righteousness a man, all through
- 18:02Speaker 2: the offering of his precious blood on Calvary, that we
- 18:07Speaker 2: might become sons of God.
- 18:09Speaker 1: And now we are errors and joint errors with Christ. Amen.
- 18:13Speaker 2: And God has a special invitation Amen, for all who
- 18:18Speaker 2: will come to know the greatness of His grace and mercy,
- 18:25Speaker 2: his loving kindness, compassion, his forgiveness. And this is a
- 18:29Speaker 2: man our prayer, this is our hope, This is our
- 18:33Speaker 2: a man fervent belief that God is going to open
- 18:36Speaker 2: eyes and ears of those who are blind, that they
- 18:39Speaker 2: might see and come to know that Jesus is the Way,
- 18:42Speaker 2: Jesus is the Christ. Jesus is yet still on the throne. Father, again,
- 18:49Speaker 2: we pray, we thank you, We bless your name and
- 18:51Speaker 2: honor you. Blessings, blessings, blessings, blessings to your kingdom, to
- 18:56Speaker 2: your people everywhere. O Lord, we pray that your word
- 19:00Speaker 2: will a man on this day, wherever listening ears are,
- 19:05Speaker 2: wherever there's a heart that is in need, there's a
- 19:08Speaker 2: soul that needs to be saved, it be redeemed. Lord,
- 19:10Speaker 2: we pray that your word, by your spirit will work
- 19:15Speaker 2: in them to bring them into your a man glorious presence,
- 19:20Speaker 2: your glorious kingdom, your majesty, and all of the goodness
- 19:24Speaker 2: that you have.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Amen.
- 19:25Speaker 2: For them that love you and obey you, We thank
- 19:28Speaker 2: you now in Jesus' name, Amen and Amen,
