- 0:54the words of Jesus Christ himself, that there is actually blessedness a man in
- 1:02evil. When men, particularly speak evil against us, We're going to see
- 1:08a man that the Bible, when it says all things work together for good,
- 1:14it means all things, even what men mean for evil, God has
- 1:19already determined it for our good. And that's what we want to discover on

- 2:17pray God's blessings upon you, Amen, as we grow together in what God
- 2:23has a man set forth for those who love Him and obey him. All
- 2:29right, if you have your Bibles, go with us to the Gospel of
- 2:31Matthew, chapter number five. And of course, as always, we begin
- 2:36with just a quick word of prayer as we a man invoke the presence of
- 2:40the Lord and his blessings upon our ears and hearts, Amen, and our
- 2:46minds and souls. So, Father, we just want to thank you again
- 2:50for all of your blessings that too innumerable for us to number, but we
- 2:54are grateful recipients of all of your bounty. A man in your goodness toward
- 3:00us, we don't deserve it. Your faithfulness is therefore us every day,
- 3:06new mercies every day, and we're just thankful for all of your blessings,
- 3:09and we pray now even now, Lord, that you will open some ears,
- 3:14some hearts, Amen, minds for your glory, honor, and for
- 3:19your kingdom, majesty and dominion, which is both now and forever. God
- 3:24be glorified in your people everywhere. In Jesus' name, we pray your thanks.
- 3:29Amen and Amen. All right again we go amen to this or continue
- 3:36rather in this series that we have begun several weeks ago on the problem of
- 3:42evil. And it's undeniable that we have a problem of evil in our world,
- 3:47and there's certainly denial of it. There's redefinition of what is evil.
- 3:55But we must if we're going to be a man and right standing with God,
- 4:02we must agree with God what the Word of God specifically tells us and
- 4:09spells out for us what is evil. And we have the knowledge of it.
- 4:13I mean, it's not as though we don't know a man. We
- 4:15have the knowledge of good and evil that is embedded within us. And certainly
- 4:21the Word of God gives us a man, a guidance and direction and instruction
- 4:29that we ought to certainly pay attention to and live by if we're going to
- 4:34be again found at peace with God. Amen. But today we want to
- 4:40focus on such a beautiful thing. I believe it's such a beautiful thing when
- 4:46you can be blessed by evil, when you can be blessed by the evil
- 4:51a man. The Bible tells us by the way, one of the commandments
- 4:57that the Lord gave a man to the people of Israel, the nation of
- 5:00Israel, was thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. And it
- 5:06is as serious a man of a command as all of the other commandments are.
- 5:15To speak evil of your neighbor, a man, to accuse your neighbor
- 5:19falsely, to slander your neighbor by attacking their character or reputation in a malicious
- 5:30attempt, to damage them with a lying tongue, that is spewing deadly poison.
- 5:41That's sin. It's sin, it's evil, it's wrong a man.
- 5:46And this is why God gives this prohibition against bearing false witness slander against your
- 5:55neighbor. And please don't ask who is my neighbor a man. Jesus made
- 5:59that clear a man who our neighbor is? And and the Psalmists understood the
- 6:05nature of this deadly practice. That is again, not only was prevalent in
- 6:15his day, but certainly Oh God help us today, Oh God help us
- 6:19today. It is so prevalent in our day. It has become an art.
- 6:25It has become a serious practice where we pay people even to uh produce
- 6:34slander, character assassination against someone else, especially in the political realm. But
- 6:43certainly not just there. It's everywhere. It's pervasive in our culture. And
- 6:46that's the reason why it is so prevalent even there. It is because it
- 6:51is so prevalent within the culture itself. A man and the Psalmists understood this,
- 6:58and he cried out some number one twenty before we get to the Gospel
- 7:02of Matthew. He cried out some one twenty. Verse two and three,
- 7:05he says, Lord, he says, deliver my soul, Deliver my soul
- 7:13from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue. Listen, what are you asking
- 7:18the Lord to do? Deliver my soul from lying lips, deliver my soul
- 7:27from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given unto thee Verse three, he
- 7:33says, or what shall be done unto the thou false tongue? Wow?
- 7:42Well, not only will the false tongue be cut out and cut off?
- 7:46A man from slandering the people of God. But God has also decreed.
- 7:53Oh, this is the beauty of what God does. And again all things
- 7:57work together, for we're good all things, all things. I love it.
- 8:01I love it. I love it. I love it. I absolutely
- 8:03love it. Amen. Because God has decreed blessings upon his own people,
- 8:11even when though wicked, even when they speak evil against God's people falsely,
- 8:20God has decreed. God has commanded blessing even in the evil. What the
- 8:28devil, what they mean for evil? Amen? God has spoken good a
- 8:33man for his people, And thank God, is not predicated God's goodness and
- 8:39the beauty of the blessedness that we have a man that comes from God is
- 8:45not predicated upon a man. The goodness of fallen man. And how we
- 8:50a man act and respond, And you know, it's just God spoke it.
- 8:56God promised it. He said, I know the thoughts that I think,
- 8:58to what you thoughts of good and not of evil. I'm going to
- 9:03bring you to an expected end. Amen. God is the author and the
- 9:07finish of our faith. And even though we have to live in this world
- 9:11and we will suffer persecution and slander, Amen, false accusations. They did
- 9:18it to Jesus, Amen, and and and and and what we must understand,
- 9:22need to understand, is that at the end of the day, when
- 9:24all is said and done, and we stand before the presence of God,
- 9:30every mouth is going to be stopped. No weapon formed will prosper. Every
- 9:35tongue that would rise up in the judgment will be condemned. Jesus pronounced this
- 9:41blessedness on us. And I want to read a man from the Gospel of
- 9:46Matthew, chapter of five. I'm gonna begin at version number one, because
- 9:50there's so much blessedness that we know of that of in this particular passage.
- 9:56For example, what uh we referred to as the be attitudes. And Jesus
- 10:01taught this. And I want us to go and pay very very close in
- 10:07particular attention as we get down to verse number eleven. But listen to what
- 10:11Jesus speaks of a man, the blessedness that awaits a man, the people
- 10:18of God seeing the multitudes. The Bible says he went up into a mountain,
- 10:22and when he was set, his disciples came unto him, and he
- 10:28opened his mouth. Listen to what Jesus speaks. He opened his mouth and
- 10:33taught them saying verse three. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs
- 10:41is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall
- 10:48be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
- 10:54Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst. Amen. The Bible says,
- 11:01after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed. Other merciful, for
- 11:09they shall obtain mercy. Blessed of the pure in heart, Jesus says,
- 11:15for they shall see God. Blessed. Other peacemakers. And boy, do
- 11:20we need peacemakers, Oh Jesus epis. Amen. Peace in our homes,
- 11:26Peace Amen, in all of our communities. Peace Amen. In the streets
- 11:31Amen, and the highways and the hedges, Amen, the city, in
- 11:37the fields, in the countryside, everywhere. Amen. Jesus came Amen,
- 11:43Amen, as the Prince of peace, and peace can only be had a
- 11:48man by and through him, and we, as the children of God,
- 11:52the Bible says, are to be peacemakers. We have to follow peace with
- 11:56all men. And I just had to pause on that for just a moment.
- 12:00But because we were living in a world of war, a man and
- 12:03hatred, malice, so much envy. And again this is the reason why
- 12:07there's so much slander a man in our world today, because people don't want
- 12:13to be at peace. Amen. The devil has so many people's minds,
- 12:16a man filled with evil and malice and hatred a man. And and and
- 12:22we are, as the people of God, amen, to be peace makers.
- 12:26So Jesus says, and pronounce his verse number nine. Again, Blessed
- 12:31are the peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God.
- 12:35Not only are we to be at peace, lived peace a man with one
- 12:39another, but also to be peace makers peace makers. Amen. Blessed are
- 12:46they which are persecuted, the Bible says verse ten, for righteousness sake,
- 12:52for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. I listen to this, Oh,
- 12:56watch this, Listen what he says Verse ninety eleven. Blessed are you when
- 13:03men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil
- 13:16against you falsely, Jesus says, for my sake, Now, what are
- 13:22we to do with that? Jesus says in verse number twelve. When they
- 13:26do this to you, he says, rejoice and be exceeding glad for great
- 13:35is your reward in heaven for soul persecuted. They the prophets which were before
- 13:45you. Wow. Wow. Now, contrary to what we might perceive as
- 13:54a bad thing, horrible thing, a terrible thing. When people will speak
- 14:01evil of us falsely, Jesus says, Now, if you've done evil,
- 14:07if you're sin and you brought a reproach on the name of Jesus, and
- 14:11people are talking about you because you have done evil, Amen, and it's
- 14:16not a false accusation, then that's quite another matter. And God not going
- 14:22into all of that. I'm just going by what Jesus speaks about here.
- 14:26Amen. He says, when men listen what he says again shall revile you,
- 14:35when men persecute you, when men say all manner of evil against you
- 14:43falsely, Jesus says, for my sake, Amen, because you are a
- 14:50child of God, because you are a man, living a man according to
- 14:56the commands of Jesus, Amen, and seeking to live holy in an ungodly
- 15:03world. Amen. And Peter, by the way, told us, Amen,
- 15:07don't think it's strange about the fiery trials which will come to you,
- 15:11and how people are going to persecute you, And wonder why as it were,
- 15:16that you don't run with them, you don't participate with them. And
- 15:22what happens again, people will speak evil of you, and they will slander
- 15:26you. Amen, Jesus says falsely for my sake. Amen. And what
- 15:31we must understand that it's really a blessing. It's really a blessing in it.
- 15:37Amen's a blessing to us, because again the Bible says, no weapon
- 15:41formed against us is going to prosper Amen. No false tongue, Amen can
- 15:48level a charge against the people of God. Amen. Against God's elect Amen,
- 15:54Those whom God has foreknew, those who he predestined, those he called,
- 16:00those he justified, those he glorified. As the Bostle says in Romans
- 16:03Jepter eight, what can we say to these things? If God be for
- 16:07us, who or what can be against us? Who or what can be
- 16:14against the people of God? And again God is for us? Amen,
- 16:19And no lying, slanderous tongue of evil speaking can be against us. Amen.
- 16:26The admonition of Jesus a man again to us, to his disciples,
- 16:32Amen, to the Church, to those who are called by the name of
- 16:34Jesus a man, who are a man being slandered for the name of Jesus
- 16:41Christ. Amen, for the way of holiness and righteousness. Amen. The
- 16:47admonition of Jesus here is for us to rejoice, rejoice when men speak evil
- 16:53of us. And furthermore, he says, we are to be exceeding glad.
- 17:00He says, because great is your reward in heaven. Amen. Don't
- 17:04look for the accolades down here. Don't look for a man of vindication necessarily
- 17:11down here, and certainly not. We are not to seek vengeance. Amen,
- 17:15And defend our name. Sometimes we are zealous about defending our name,
- 17:22defending our character, protecting our reputation and all of this, and we're more
- 17:27concerned with that a man than seeing a man. The blessedness that Jesus has
- 17:33in it for us, if we would simply obey what he says for us
- 17:37to do here, to rejoice in it, Amen, and to be exceeding
- 17:41glad. Amen. That we are being a man persecuted and slandered for the
- 17:48name of Jesus, and again it has to be because it is falsely spoken
- 17:53against us. We are being persecuted for his namesake. Amen, And again
- 18:00rejoice, Jesus says, be exceeding glad when men speak evil of you,
- 18:07Amen, when they see understand this also, they're doing it in their ignorance,
- 18:14in their ignorance, and they don't understand. They don't know, they
- 18:17don't know this. They don't understand that what they're doing is actually a blessing
- 18:23for us. They don't understand it. This. Oh, I just love
- 18:27the beauty of what God does, what men mean for evil, what the
- 18:33enemy, what the devil means for evil. Amen. God has already decreed.
- 18:38God has already determined, Amen, that it's going to be for our
- 18:44good. And Jesus therefore a man forewarned his disciples that those who feed on
- 18:51this kind of wickedness and malice and hatred and jealousy and envy, those who
- 18:56are the children of the devil, who do the deeds of their father,
- 18:59the devil, that they would Jesus warn them. He warned them, and
- 19:02he warns us basically also, of course, that these wicked individuals, these
- 19:08evil doers, these evil speakers, slanderers, would speak evil against those who
- 19:18would follow Jesus, those who would preach the gospel, those who would speak
- 19:23the truth and love, those who would seek to live peaceably and follow peace
- 19:29with all men. He warned them. Amen, and listen to what Jesus
- 19:36said. He told them, saying, listen, if they have persecuted me,
- 19:41if they have slandered me, Amen, they've called me beels above the
- 19:48prince of the devils, if they have accused me of being a man in
- 19:52the kingdom of darkness and of the kingdom of darkness? What are they gonna
- 19:56say about you? What are you think ain't they're going to do to you?
- 20:00Amen? And they've brought false witness against me. They slandered me,
- 20:06you know how they did. Amen, And even coming up to amen the
- 20:11final days of Jesus, when they suborn of perjury through these false witnesses,
- 20:17the Bible tells us whose witness did not even agree, which was in violation
- 20:19of the law. But yet they went ahead anyway with their Amen, slander
- 20:26against Jesus. Amen. And Jesus told us, he says, remember that
- 20:33the disciple is not above his master. But listen, please never forget it.
- 20:38All that they did, Amen, all that they contrived, all that
- 20:45they purposed to do, amen against Jesus and performed Amen. And Peter reminded
- 20:52them of it by the way in the Book of the Acts, he told
- 20:55them that you, by your wicked hands, you crucive. By the Lord
- 21:00of Glory, you did it. Amen. You railroaded him. Amen.
- 21:06They had this, uh, or two of them, at least, trials
- 21:11that were illegal according to their own law and standard. Amen. But you
- 21:17know, this is what happens when malice and envy and hatred and jealousy and
- 21:22wrath of man is stirred up within him. And he's he's he's again not
- 21:27a peacemaker. And and he's he's a slanderer. And because of the hate
- 21:36and and again, Uh, they envy Jesus. They were jealous of him,
- 21:41They were jealous of his ministry, the multitudes following him, his claims
- 21:47Amen to deity, which he was, of course, And they decided that
- 21:52they were going to kill him. But one of the main weapons that they
- 21:57used, as it were, was slander. Amen. They spoke falsely against
- 22:04Jesus and accused him falsely. Amen. And again it all works together for
- 22:14our good. Amen. And God had already determined even before the foundation of
- 22:18the world that these things would happen, even the betrayal of one of his
- 22:23own Judas Amen. The son of perdition. Amen, and and and listen,
- 22:29never never never never never never never again, never forget. And I
- 22:33know it's difficult when people character assassinate you. Amen, assassinate your reputation,
- 22:41slander you, slander your good name. And the Bible says, a good
- 22:45name, it's rather to be chosen than great riches. And and we all
- 22:48want hopefully you will want to have a good name and a good reputation and
- 22:53you can leave this world. Amen, even with you know, supposedly hopefully
- 23:02some kind of most people want this a good name, even in the world.
- 23:06But Jesus said this to his disciples. Also, beware when men he's
- 23:11talking about men of the world, When people of the world are speaking well
- 23:15of you, you beware of that because if that's the case, it's probably
- 23:19in most cases. If men of the world, particularly again, if you
- 23:26are a preacher of the Gospel, if you are a bearer of the truth,
- 23:33and man, if you're speaking the truth, if you are testifying against
- 23:36this world, like Jesus did, very few people are going to speak well
- 23:41of you. They're gonna hate you. Hey, man, They're gonna persecute
- 23:45you, they're gonna come after you, They're gonna slander you, and Jesus
- 23:48says, beware when men speak well of you. So we ought to really
- 23:55be in expectation of being slandered. Amen, of our good name being Amen,
- 24:07drug as it were, through the mud, through the slime. Amen,
- 24:12that's okay. I got a new name. I got a new name
- 24:17already in heaven. So you can slander this name, mischaracterize, you know,
- 24:25whatever, have at it. Amen. The Bible says for us to
- 24:29rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is our reward in heaven. And
- 24:34that's what I'm looking forward to. And let me just remind you by the
- 24:37way of a couple of examples in the Bible. Joseph, for example,
- 24:44when Joseph was slandered with false accusations, allegations of attempted sexual assault, rape,
- 24:52Amen, bipotiphars a man's scorned wife. Amen. Listen, God had
- 25:00already a man purposed, it decreed it a man for Joseph's good, a
- 25:08man even though he was thrown into prison. A man had to serve a
- 25:15prison sentence, Amen, for something he didn't do. And that'll happen.
- 25:21That'll happen when people slander you. That'll happen when people speak falsely against you
- 25:26when you're attempting to do the good. What was Joseph. Joseph was simply
- 25:29trying to obey God. And he said, when she came after him day
- 25:33after day, day after day, to commit adultery, to sin against God,
- 25:40to sin against Joseph, to sin against her husband, to sin against
- 25:44her own soul, to sin really even against his household. When you sin,
- 25:51when we sin, we don't send in isolation. Amen. The sin
- 25:56is and the evil is spiritual, and it is contagious. And so you
- 26:04know when she's she attempted to do this thing, and Joseph kept resisting her.
- 26:10He said, how can I do this great evil? He said,
- 26:14and sin against God? It is my uh, it is my it is
- 26:18my responsibility. It is my duty, Amen, as a servant of God
- 26:23to obey God. And so I can't do this. I can't do this,
- 26:29Joseph says. And so she was scorned. Amen. And she falsely
- 26:36accused him, She slandered him. Amen. She she destroyed his good name
- 26:41and reputation. Joseph was Potiphar's number one guy. He was his main man.
- 26:48Amen. The Bible says Potiphar didn't even look to anything in his house.
- 26:53He so trusted Joseph that he didn't even bother checking the books. Amen,
- 27:00the receipts. Amen. Whatever Joseph did, Potiphar just left it all
- 27:06in his hands. And that's great stewardship, by the way. And we
- 27:08should seek to have a man such good reputation and character in the world.
- 27:15But there will come a time perhaps, and God God forbid that it happens.
- 27:19But it may happen. Amen. But please understand again that what God
- 27:23has purposed for our good, no slanderer a man, no false accuser,
- 27:30no wicked evil speaker, can change in any way, subvert in any way
- 27:34a man. All they can do is add to the blessing that God has
- 27:40for us, that God has purposed for us, that God is spoken concerning
- 27:42us. And so it was with Joseph. Amen, even though he was
- 27:48slandered and thrown into prison a man for something that he did not do.
- 27:52Amen, God meant it for good. God purposed it for good. Because
- 27:59there's a time and a season for everything under the sign. Oh help us,
- 28:03Jesus, Oh help us, help us, Lord, Help us Lord,
- 28:07as we go through these trials and tribulations, these light afflictions a man
- 28:11in this world. When David even give you a example of David. Y'all,
- 28:15remember when David was slandered, a man for obeying God, rather than
- 28:22the scheming of those evil slanderers who accused him before the king, a man
- 28:26seeking to Daniel. I'm sorry, not David Daniel. When Daniel was slandered
- 28:33Daniel. You remember Daniel chapter six, when they sought to get rid of
- 28:37him. They were looking and combing through all of the work that Daniel did,
- 28:44all of the the stellar reputation and character that he had. They combed
- 28:55and they picked, and they searched, and they sought day and night to
- 29:00find some kind of wrongdoing, some kind of uh of uh slightness or slackness
- 29:08in Daniel's work, and and and they couldn't find anything. And so they
- 29:15Amen, again, this is how, this is how the scheming, wicked,
- 29:18evil, jealous malice minds of wicked people work. Amen, They'll come
- 29:25up with some way to slander you, Amen, to slander you. And
- 29:30so that's what they did with Daniel. Amen. They accused him before the
- 29:33king in their hatred, their malice, and their jealousy in order to seek
- 29:42his destruction. But listen, there it is again. God meant it for
- 29:48his good what the devil has meant for evil. That's why we need we
- 29:52need not worry. Amen. Again, I'm not I'm not saying it's easy
- 29:56when you go through it. I'm not saying it's it's it's it's a cakewalk
- 30:00when it happens to you, because it is not. It's difficult. A
- 30:04man, even with Job, he didn't realize at the time. Of course,
- 30:07he didn't know that it was Satan who was doing all these things.
- 30:11But even when his friends, his soul called friends, came to supposedly comfort
- 30:17him, which they did for a season, but then they begin to slander
- 30:21Job and speak a man wrongly concerning him and God. Amen. And then
- 30:29you know the story. At the end, a Job had to pray for
- 30:33them, Amen, because they had spoken wrong, they had spoken evil a
- 30:40man, They had slandered his reputation, slandered his character, a man accused
- 30:47him falsely, a man not understanding a man that a man. It was
- 30:52the hand of God that was against him for that season, for that time,
- 30:57in the sense that God allowed Satan to do these things. That's what
- 31:02I mean by the hand of God. That's what Job saw it, as
- 31:03the hand of God being against him. And that's why he said, if
- 31:07you know, though he slay me, yet will I trust him? God
- 31:11gave me all these things. God allowed it to be taken away. Blessed
- 31:14be the name of all. That's the kind of attitude we need to have,
- 31:17the same kind of attitude that a Joseph had, the same kind of
- 31:21attitude that a Daniel had, the same kind of attitude that a Job had.
- 31:25And even when you look in the book of Esther, you see the
- 31:29wickedness of Hayman, how he slandered all of the Jews, sought to kill
- 31:33them all, He grouped them all together as unprofitable as of no you know,
- 31:42good to the king. And all of this was because of his hatred
- 31:45and his malice toward one man, Mordecai. Amen. And he sought to
- 31:52annihilate a whole nation of people, a man, a whole race of people,
- 31:57because of again, you know, his malice and hatred. And he
- 32:04used slender, he spoke falsely against him. He accused them, Amen,
- 32:09all of them, Amen, as one. Amen. That's how the devil
- 32:14operates. Amen. And see we got to understand that what God has already
- 32:17spoken concerning us, the good that he's already spoken concerning us, he has
- 32:23purposed it and is going to turn out for our good, no matter what
- 32:28the enemy may seek to do. And this is what we again, we
- 32:30need to understand. What did Jesus say again? As we close? What
- 32:32did Jesus say again? Again? And let me reiterate it and read it
- 32:36again for you. Matthew, Chapter five, verse number eleven. Blessed are
- 32:40you, amen, when men shall revile you, when men shall persecute you.
- 32:49Now the disciples hearing these words, by the way, remember in the
- 32:52Book of the Acts, after they received the power of the Holy Ghost,
- 32:55and they were going out preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And sure enough,
- 33:00just as Jesus said it would happen, it did. They were persecuted,
- 33:04they were reviled, a man taken and tossed into prison, a man
- 33:09brought up before the council. All the things Jesus told him that would happened,
- 33:13it happened. A man. And Bible says when they were beaten for
- 33:16the name of Jesus, after they had been persecuted and slandered, Amen,
- 33:22the Bible says they went away from the council rejoicing that they had been counted
- 33:30worthy to suffer shame for the name of Jesus. They remembered exactly what Jesus
- 33:37said taught them. So we are, we are blessed. Amen, we
- 33:40are to be happy. We are to be elated when men revile us,
- 33:45persecute us, and speak all manner of evil against us falsely for Jesus' name
- 33:55sake, he says, rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great great is
- 34:02your reward in heaven. They did the same thing to the prophets which came
- 34:10before you. They did the same thing to Jesus. They did the same
- 34:15thing to the early Church. And the devil is not going to change his
- 34:19tactics. He's going to do the same to us in our day, in
- 34:22these latter last of the last day, shall I say, in these days,
- 34:29he's going to do the same. He's not going to change. So
- 34:30what we must do as the people of God, it's just simply obeyed Jesus.
- 34:36Rejoice in it, be glad about it. Understand that what they speak
- 34:42for evil, what they mean for evil, what they purpose for evil,
- 34:47what they purpose for your demise. God is already spoken good, he's already
- 34:54spoken blessings. He's already spoken a man an expected end for his people.
- 35:02So rejoice, Jesus says, and be exceeding glad, for great is your
- 35:10reward in heaven. God, we thank you that you are great, You
- 35:15are awesome. Amen. Your promises are yay and Amen. And we don't
- 35:21understand, Amen, sometimes when we go through all of these persecutions and tribulations,
- 35:28and we don't understand sometimes why people would seek to slander us. But
- 35:34God, you know all things. You've decreed, all things, you've purposed
- 35:37all things, and all things are working together for O. We're good.
- 35:40We're so glad that we're in the Father's hand and no one can snatch us
- 35:45out, and no one can separate us from the love of God that is
- 35:49in Christ. Jesus, Thank you, Lord, bless your name, Bless
- 35:52your people. Open eyes, open ears, open hearts, change hearts,
- 35:59as only you could do for your glory on her majesty. It's in the
- 36:01name of Jesus Christ. We pray and give thanks for all things. Amen.
- 36:05And a man
