Global Hope for Local Struggles

Feeling stuck in the mud of life—spiritually dry, emotionally drained, or uncertain about your future? This powerful devotional episode invites you to step into the promise of Psalm 40, where David says, “I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.”

Whether you're battling burnout, grief, financial stress, or feeling spiritually abandoned, this prayer devotional provides life-anchoring biblical truth, practical application, and Christ-centered encouragement for your darkest moments.

As you listen, you’ll discover how to wait well—not passively, but with spiritual expectation. God is not ignoring you. He is working behind the scenes to lift you from despair and place you on solid ground.

Key Takeaways:

  • How waiting on God produces spiritual maturity (Isaiah 40:31)
  • Understanding the difference between religious routine and authentic relationship with Christ
  • The presence of the Holy Spirit in your everyday moments (John 14)
  • Why praise and patience go hand in hand
  • How Jesus meets you exactly where you are—even at 33,000 feet in the sky

Life Application

  • Practice praising through pain—not just praying for deliverance

The fire of God is in yourbelly.
You are saved, you are washedin the blood of Jesus Christ,
you are born again, spiritfilled, and the Lord is leading

(03:27):
you.
You are not here on thisplatform by chance.
You are not watching this livestream by chance this morning.
You're not listening bycoincidence, because coincidence
doesn't exist in the kingdom ofGod.
You are here, you are listeningbecause of divine destiny and
God has a place for you.
God has a place for you and Godis looking at your life right

God is leading you.
Are you worried?

What is going on in the circleof your life?
We pray that you will feel thelove of God and the power of the

This morning we pray forfreedom.
Let's just bring this to thetable, you know.
Is there mental health issues?
Is there fear going on?

(04:08):
Are you worried about finances?
Are you worried about thechildren, your job, your life,
whatever is going on?
You know it's not church that weneed, it's Jesus.
It's not religion that we need.
It is the power of the HolySpirit.
It is not the fabric of thebuilding and the wills of the
mechanisms of religion.
We need the Holy Spirit.
We need to realize that it'snot the structure of church,

(04:30):
it's not the religious push thatwe need, it is the power of the
Word of God.
And you know the Word of God iswith you, the Holy Spirit is
with you.
So let's pray before we go anyfurther.
As I said earlier, we're goingto Psalm 40, you know, and the
Bible says in Psalm 40, earlier.
We're going to Psalm 40, youknow, and the Bible says in
Psalm 40, david writes I waitedpatiently for the Lord.
He turned to me and he heard mycry.
Father, in the name of Jesus,we believe in the word of God,

(04:53):
that the word of God is withouterror.
And as we come to you now, lord, father, we just wait, lord, we
just wait right now, lord, helpus to be patient, help us to
gather our thoughts.
Help us, lord, to be calm inthe situation that we're in,
father, will you lead us inpaths of righteousness?
But, lord, just as David did,lord, we wait patiently for the

(05:13):
Lord.
Father.
As we wait, lord, in this areaof our life, lord, maybe in no
man's land, maybe in this 50-50position in the desert, lord,
where we feel, lord, that we'rein the wasteland of life, father
, as we wait for you, father,we're asking that you will give
us more patience and more faithin the desert of uncertainty,

(05:34):
lord, that you will steer us andlead us.
Father, just like theIsraelites that was in the
wilderness for all those years,father, we believe that you're
going to lead us out of thewilderness, out of the dry
situation.
Lord, we are parched, we arethirsty, we are hungry for a
move of the Holy Spirit in thisnation.
We thank you that there is amove of the Holy Spirit.
We thank you that the God thatwe serve is moving in this

(05:57):
nation.
We thank you that the power ofthe Scripture, lord, is moving
in our lives.
Lord.
We believe, lord, that theglory of God is all around us.
We believe that this nation,this UK, great Britain, england,
whatever title is over the doorof this nation today.
We believe that this nationbelongs to God.
We believe that this nationbelongs to the God of Israel.

(06:18):
We believe that Jesus Christ ismoving over this nation through
this nation.
We believe that we are seeing aturnaround for the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
We believe that we might be inthe valley of the shadow of
death.
We might be just like thatgreat prophet when God said go
down to that valley, look at thedry bones.
We believe that the dry bonesare starting to live.

(06:41):
We believe that you arebreathing breath and fresh air
and oxygen into this nation.
We believe that the breath ofGod is breathing into the desert
of the UK.
So, lord, we wait patiently forthe Lord.
We ask you, father, for thosethat are worried about finances

(07:24):
speak to them clear, lord.
We ask you that you will remove, lord, that you will remove
straight away the worry offinancial pressure, that you
will bring freedom to those thatare worried about finances,
maybe those that are in debt,those that just can't see a way
out of this financial arena.
Father, we wait patiently forGod.
We ask you, father, for thosethat are in church and in

(07:47):
ministry.
We pray, lord, that we willwait patiently for such a great
outpouring of your Spirit.

government that you will blessthis government from the crown
of their head to the sole oftheir feet.
That the love of God will movepowerfully and clearly, lord,
that we will see the glory ofour God.
But right now we pray for thosethat are just aching in their

(08:10):
bones because of fear.
We pray, lord, as the scripturesays, that perfect love drives
out all fear.
And this morning, lord, forthose that are fearful, those
that are doubtful, those thatare worried, those that are
uncertain in the life that theyare living, lord, we pray that
you will stir hearts today, thatyou will stir hearts.

stand in the name of Jesus,wherever we are across the world

(08:54):
, whatever our time zone is.
For those that are listening inother nations, for those that
are outside the UK, we pray,lord, that an outpouring of your
Spirit will keep them in thefaith.

life of David, you'll be well.
A man who got it so right, aman who got it so wrong.
A man, see, we're all weak,weak people, but mighty God.

(15:09):
Later on in Psalm 40, david'sheart is poured out in verse 11.
Lord, don't hold back yourtender mercies from me.
Let your unfailing love andfaithfulness always protect me,
for trouble surrounds me toomany to count.
I think we end up theresometimes.

But he also says my sins pileup so high I can't see a way out
.
Is that where you are today?
Are you thinking how can I everbe what I once was?
How can I have it restored?
Look at the mess I've gotmyself into.
Come on Jesus.

(15:49):
Actually, later on, in Psalm 41, david says why am I so
discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Come on, Jesus.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
I will put my hope in God.
I will praise him again, mysaviour and my God, amen.
We've got one who saves.

Speaker 2 (16:06):

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Not just a one-off.
I saved you.
Now get on with it.
I'll see you in heaven.
No, no, no, no.
He says I'll be with you,always, always.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes, lord Always, never leave us.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Even to the very end of the age.
And David gets it after he'smessed up with Bathsheba big
time.
He's committed murder.
He's in Psalm 51, verse 7.
David says purify me from mysins and I will be clean.
Wash me and I will be whiterthan the snow.

(16:38):
Oh, give me back my joy again.
You've broken me.
Now let me rejoice.
Thank you, holy Spirit't.
Keep looking at my sins.
Remove the stain of my guilt.
And he has, through thesacrifice of his son, create in
me a clean heart.
Oh god, renew a loyal spiritwithin me.

(16:59):
Do not banish me from yourpresence yes, lord, and don't
take your holy Spirit from me.
Now, there it is.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Come on, Jesus.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
There it is.
Here's the promise.
Jesus said I've not left you asorphans We'll look at that in a
minute but he said I will bewith you.
He is the one who restores andcleanses.
He's the one who inspired thisword the Holy Spirit.
You go to the beginning of thebible, genesis 1, verse 2.

(17:27):
There he is the spirit of thelord hovering over the waters.
In exodus 33.
Actually, this covenant, thispromise that god has given us,
goes right back to abraham,where god spoke to abraham in
genesis I think it's aroundgenesis and said I am Come on
Father.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I am Thank you, holy Spirit.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Jesus shocked the Pharisees by saying I am.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
I am your shield.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yes, and your very great reward.
What are you running?

Speaker 3 (17:56):
after.
What are we running after?
Well, the Lord ran after us.
We are his pearl of great price.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yes, Father.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Shouldn't he be our pearl of great price?
Yes, Father.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Shouldn't he be our pearl of great price Mm.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
And yet we mess up so many times.
So did David.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Pour out your spirit.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Lord.
And yet we ended up in the muckand the mire in the pit.
So many times, so did David,and time and time again, god
lifts him up, puts his feet on arock, restores him, amen.
Puts his feet on a rock,restores him Amen.
Now in John 13.
No, john 14, actually John 14from verse 15.

(18:32):
Here's the promise Come onJesus.
Pentecost is just around thecorner and the promise came.
But here's the promise.
Before we go there, I'm goingto actually go to Moses in
Exodus 33.
Exodus 33.
God speaks to moses and says mypresence will go with you.
This is from verse 14, and Iwill give you rest, this rest we

(18:54):
get when you look at moses'slife from exodus 33, it's not
one of him laying on a lilo bythe beach eating bananas.
It's actually a hard life, yeah, but he's at peace Come on
Jesus.
This peace Jesus gives us is acalmness in the middle of the
storms.
Thank you for that.
Lord Jesus said in this worldyou will have many troubles, but

(19:15):
I am with you.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yes, Lord, you're with us.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
So God is with Moses and he promises him my presence.
Will go with you, my presence.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
We want more of your presence.
The.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Spirit and I will give you rest.
Moses answered if your presencedoesn't go with me, don't send
me anywhere.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I'm not going Jesus.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Why didn't the church say that?

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Because the church really don't know Jesus.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
What has happened?
Come on you read through thebook of acts.
When you read this bible, thatspirit inspired they were led by
the holy spirit come on, weneed to be I've heard churches
say we don't want that holyspirit here yes we have?
don't they know who?
He is obviously not right.
Right back to John 14, and I'llstart at verse 15.

(20:06):
If you love me, obey mycommands.
There's a simple thing If youlove me, obey my commands, don't
try and change them.
If you try and change them, youdon't love him.
Simple If you love me, obey mycommands and I will ask the, the
father, and he will give youanother advocate or counselor

(20:29):
depends what translation you'vegot who will never leave you.
He is the holy spirit who leadsyou in all truth.
Amen.
The world cannot receive him.
So these churches that can'tmust be of the world.
The world cannot receive himbecause it isn't looking for him
and doesn't recognize him.

(20:49):
But you know him because helives with you now and later
will be in you.
There was a promise no, I willnot abandon you as orphans.
I will come to you, come onjesus.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
We need your lord who's coming's?
Coming.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
The King.
But who did Jesus say issending and who is coming?
He said the Holy Spirit.
Now he's saying I will come toyou.
I will come to you.
Soon the world will no longersee me, but you will see me,
since I live.
You also will live when I'mraised to life again.
You will know that I am in theFather and you are in me and I

(21:26):
am in you.
Those who accept my commands andobey them are the ones who love
me.
Who are the ones who love him?
Those who accept my commandsand obey them are the ones who
love me.
The ones who are trying tochange his commands do not love
him.
It's clear.
Those who are trying to changehis commands do not love him.
It's clear.
And because they love me, myFather will love them and I will

(21:48):
love them and reveal myself toeach of them.
Judas not Judas Iscariot, butthe other disciple with that
name said to him Lord, are yougoing to reveal yourself only to
us and not to the world atlarge?
Jesus replied all who love mewill do what I say.
Yes, lord, my Father will lovethem and we will come.
Jesus replied all who love mewill do what I say yes, lord, my
father will love them and wewill come and make a home with

(22:09):
each of them.
What's coming?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Pour out your spirit.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Who's?

Speaker 2 (22:13):
coming Pour out your spirit.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Lord, already we've heard the Advocate the Holy
Spirit's coming.
Now we hear that Jesus iscoming to make his home in us.
Now we hear that the Father iscoming to make his home in us.
Thank you, Father.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
He is God, god, the Father, god, the Son, god, the Holy Spirit.
Anyone who doesn't love me willnot obey me.

(22:39):
And remember my words are notmy own.
What I am telling you is fromthe Father who sent me.
I'm telling you these thingsnow, while I'm with you, but
when the Father sends theadvocate as my representative,
that is, the Holy Spirit.

(22:59):
He will teach you everything andremind you of everything teach
us, I have told you amen, I'mleaving you a gift.
Thank you, jesus.
I'm leaving you a gift thepresence increase lord, peace of
mind and heart increase fireand the peace I give is a gift
the world cannot give.
So don't be troubled.
Actually, later on, in chapter16, in verse 6, jesus says

(23:26):
instead you grieve because Itold you that I'm going away.
The fact is, it's best that Igo away, because if I don't go,
the advocate won't come.
But if I do go away, I willsend him to you.
Who's sending him?
The Father and the Son Aresending who?
If I don't go, the advocatewon't come, but if I do go away,
I will send him to you.
Who's sending him?
The Father and the Son Aresending who?
Their spirit, their presence,your glory, god, come on.
It says in Romans 8,.

(23:46):
Those who are led by the Spiritof God are the children of God.
He leads us in all truth.
He inspired the Word and hereveals the Word.
Amen.
Jesus said.
No one comes to me unless theFather draws him.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Draw us God.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Jesus also said no one goes to the Father except
through me.
We need the Holy Spirit, weneed to be reliant on the Holy
Spirit, we need to be led withthe Holy Spirit.
We need to be filled with theHoly Spirit, we need to be
empowered by the Holy Spirit.
We need to ask to have gifts ofthe Holy Spirit and bear the
fruit of the Holy Spirit in ourlives.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Father, then.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Lead us.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
We know his promises.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Lead us Jesus.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Then we cry Abba, father, then we have that
intimacy that, though the worldaround us may be collapsing,
Thank you, Jesus.
We're seated with him inheavenly realms at total peace.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
So, lord, I want to thank you that you have not left
us as orphans.
You promised.
And on that day of Pentecost,peter gives that message and
quotes Joel this promise, whatpromise?
Pour it out, god?
The promise of your Holy Spirit?
Pour it out, god Will promiseof your Holy Spirit.
Pour it out.
God Will be on you, yourchildren, those who are far off,

(25:03):
everyone whom the Lord, our God, will call Amen.
Will be the people of thepresence.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yes, Lord.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
What makes us different from any other people
on the face of the earth?
We're the people of thepresence.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
The King.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Holy Spirit, I want to thank you that you're with us
.
Yes, Lord I want to thank youthat you're for us.
I want to thank you that nowyou do not hold our sin against
us.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Because Jesus paid for it all on the cross.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Freedom at the cross.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
What a horrible death he paid for our salvation.
And it's done, it is finished.
We are saved, purified andwe're now being sanctified,
transformed from one degree ofglory to another, as we sow to
the spirit and not to the flesh.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yes, Father, come on.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
We cooperate with you , Lord, and we thank you for
this silent revival that's goingon.

And Jesus, you said I will build my church.
And hell is going to quake andshake before her and cannot
stand.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yes.

(31:55):
It doesn't matter how you feel,with your emotions, it doesn't
matter what the bank accountlooks like, it doesn't matter
what the consultant says, itdoesn't matter what is coming at
you.
Remember it wasn't Jesus'friends that took him to the
cross.
The enemies are the carriers toyour destination.

(32:15):
The situations carry us.
The bleak of the situation, itcarries us to the cross.
Jesus' friends didn't take himto the cross.
Jesus' disciples didn't takehim to the cross.
It was the situation, it waslife, it was the bleaker things

(32:35):
that took him to the cross, lord.
It might be bleak for ournatural vision, but, lord, we
see with eyes of faith thismorning.
Stir us in the name of Jesus,amen.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Andy, god bless you.
Yeah, how do I follow all that?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, I just want to um go into romans and I think
we've spoken about the holyspirit.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Um, yes, this morning , and that's really was such an
amazing step in my own faith.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yes, fire.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
When I discovered real, the fullness of what the
Holy Spirit is.
No one can say Jesus is Lordwithout the Holy Spirit.
That's right.
But what there's more, there ismore, there is more, because I
was a Christian for quite a fewyears and, you know, a
Bible-based Christian.

(33:35):
But then I discovered thatthere was a fullness of the Holy
Spirit, so were the disciplesbefore Pentecost yeah,
absolutely.
And then, on this occasion, Igot prayed for and filled with
the Holy Spirit.
It was so powerful that I hadto lie down.
I couldn't get up.

(33:56):
This was the Holy Spiritworking in my life and it was
after that that I discoveredthat God had given me certain
gifts and you can then, you know, work for the kingdom.
That's the powerful thing, thatwhen you can work for the
kingdom, that God is blessingyou as you do.

(34:18):
That.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
And I just thank God that my sins have been erased
and blotted out.
Yes, come on In Romans 4 itsays it's a quote from Psalm 32,
.
Blessed are they whosetransgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.

(34:40):
Blessed is the man whose sinthe Lord will never count
against him.
How amazing is that?
It's gone.
It's erased, you know.
Another interpretation of thatis it's erased from the record.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
It can't be revisited .

Speaker 4 (34:58):
If's erased from the record.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
It can't be revisited If you've got a record I've got
in my Bible.
Apart from that me, I don'tknow how I'm pointing that I'm
blessed it never counts againstme.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah, it's erased.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
I think, andy, it's really important that we really
listen to what you're sayinghere, because it is erased.
Yeah, it's gone it's gone.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
It's gone and never counted against you never,
blessed is the man or womanwhose sins and transgressions
will never count against youthank you jesus paid for them in
full past, present and futureyeah, absolutely it's.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
It's absolutely astonishing that um all that
stuff that's got.
You know some of us are worsethan others, but you know it's
all erased.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
It's not about you, Ben.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
It's gone.
But even when we trip up andfall, we just have to say you
know, father, forgive me.
Just like David, just likeDavid.
Just like David I mean Davidwas probably the most well-known
king in the Old Testament.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Completely across the whole world.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
He tripped up a few times, didn't he?
Well?

Speaker 2 (36:06):
quite a few.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
More times than that.
But he was blessed and we'reblessed, and if you want
blessing, just come before jesusand ask him to come into your
life come holy spirit and we saycome holy spirit.
And I said I was in romans, butin romans chapter 8, you know,

(36:32):
it talks about life through thespirit.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yes, that's, right, andy.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
That's the way we have to lead.
Our walk with Jesus.
Is life through the Spirit?
Now, if you look at Romans, Icounted that in the first seven
chapters of Romans the HolySpirit is mentioned five times,
but when we get to chapter 8,chapter 8, 22 times in the

(37:03):
chapter alone is the Holy Spiritmentioned.
Now, if we look, at Romans asEverest chapter 8 is the peak
it's the pinnacle.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
It's the pinnacle's, the pinnacle.
It's right at the top.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
Come on and yes, lord you know, it says I consider
that our present sufferings arenot worth comparing with the
glory that will be revealed tous.
The creation waits in eagerexpectation for the sons of God
to be revealed.
It's down to verse 20.

(37:42):
In the same way, the Spirithelps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought topray for, but the Spirit
himself intercedes for us.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yes, Father.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
With groans that words cannot express.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Thank you, Jesus.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
And it goes on in verse 28.
And we know that in all thingsGod works for the good of those
who love him, who have beencalled according to his purpose.
God calls each one of us.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
He's calling you.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
He calls you and those of you who are listening
today or who listen later tothis broadcast right now god is
calling you.
He wants you to work in hiskingdom.
He wants you because he lovesyou.
Uh, he died.
He sent his son to die for you,to die for you I.

(38:32):
I find this astonishing thatsomeone would die for me, but it
was god himself he did his son,that supreme sacrifice thank
you, jesus what shall we saythen in response to this if god
is for us, who can be against us?
amen, something to hold on to,isn't't it that scripture?

(38:54):
If God is for us and we knowthat he is, who can be against
us?
That gives us a certain amountof bravery, sometimes in
difficult situations.
But we know that God is for usand that's why we're sitting
here today, because we know thatGod is for us, and we want that

(39:19):
message to be with you now.
We want that because for yoursake, he said, we face death all
day long.
We are considered a sheep to beslaughtered, but no, in all
these things we are more thanconquerors, through him who
loved us.
For I am convinced that neitherdeath nor life, neither angels

(39:44):
nor demons, neither present northe future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, noranything else in all creation
will be able to separate us fromthe love of god look at that
that that is in Christ Jesus,our Lord.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
So powerful.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
And Jesus is the only way I am the way.
I mean one of the I am's inJohn.
We talk about John.
I am the way, the truth and thelife.
No one comes to the Fatherexcept through me.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Jesus is the way.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
Jesus is the only way .
And if you've never encounteredJesus, today is the day of
salvation.
Amen, it's for you today.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Amen, wherever you are, wherever you are, whatever
island you are on, whatevernation you are in, we are coming
to the table in about twominutes time.
We encourage you to break breadwith us now.
Let's remind ourselves whatwe're about to do.
We're about to break bread.
We're about to take it a cup.

(40:45):
It is not a religious exercise.
It is nothing to do withreligion.
This is from the book of exodus, chapter 12.
This is about taking andspending time.
You don't need to be in church,wherever you are at this moment
in time, if you're able to dothis with us in about one and a
half minutes now, grab yourselfsome bread, grab yourself a bit

(41:07):
of grape juice.
We're going to break breadtogether.
Take out a cup.
It is so powerful.
You don't need to be in church.
You don't need to be caught inany denomination.
You can be at home, sitting onthe edge of your bed.
You can be in your van.
You can be, you know, in thegym and just take time out.
You can be in the staff room.
You can be at school.
You can be in a lecture hall.

(41:27):
You can be in the middle of afield.
You can be in an aircraft33,000 feet in the heavens and
break bread and take it a cup,because it's a heart condition.
It's a heart condition, nothingto do with the powers of
religion.
So, lord, as our brothers aregoing to lead us to the table in
just a few moments, I ask you,lord, that we will see the dead

(41:51):
be raised, the blind will seethe lame are walking, those that
are crushed will rise on wingsas of eagles and what's been
said this morning across theairways.
Holy Spirit, we know you'rewith us but, lord, open our mind

(42:12):
, open our hearts to fill yourpresence so strongly for those
that feel crushed today.
Thank you that there is liberty.
Open our mind, open our heartsto feel your presence so
strongly For those that feelcrushed today.
Thank you that there is liberty.
Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
The spirit of the Lord is withyou.
We're coming to the table rightnow.
We have 16 minutes left of thisservice.
Once this 16 minutes is overand up, the camera will click

(42:37):
out, the radio will turnstraight back into worship.
So we welcome you now to cometo the table.
It is critical across the world.
Welcome to coffee and prayerthis morning.
Brothers, will you lead us?

Speaker 3 (42:52):
So it's wherever you are.
Ben's already said that thisnew covenant we've got.
You see, there used to be atemple curtain that separated
the presence of God from thepeople when Jesus went to the
cross.
Yeah, it was torn into from topto bottom.
So now the presence is in hispeople.

(43:12):
We don't go to the temple.
Now the temple's come to us.
It's such a different covenant.
It's the new covenant paid forby the body of jesus, the life
of jesus.
So on the night he was with hisfriends, his disciples, and he
actually said I have soearnestly, eagerly desired to

(43:34):
take this meal with you yes,lord and he took them right
through.
They was at the Passover meal,they were going through the
stages of it, the cedar meal,and when he came to the bread of
redemption, he took the breadand said this bread is my body,
which is broken for you.
Salvation comes through him andhim alone.
How?

(43:54):
Because he, as he showed them,is the only pure, spotless,
sinless, sacrificial lamb thathas met all the requirements God
put on humanity.
God now looks on him andpardons us.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Thank you, Jesus.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
He looks on him and knows that he did everything.
So when Jesus cried out as hegave up his spirit, it is
finished.
He didn't say I am finished.
He said it is finished.
It was a cry of victory.
The sacrifice we needed waspaid through him and as we take

(44:36):
this bread.
It's actually an act of faiththat we know we're saved through
his body through his life.
Through his resurrection he'scalled a saviour.
He has saved us.
Thank you, jesus.
I take this bread in faith ofthat Amen.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Amen, thank you, jesus.
Thank, take this bread in faithof that amen.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Thank you Jesus, thank you Holy Spirit.
He did what we couldn't do amen.
Grab yourself a cup and he'sgoing to lead us, you know.
Grab yourself a cup thatrepresents the blood of Jesus,
wherever you are.
We invite you, we invite youright now, to stop what you're
doing and pause.
God bless you, andy.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
In the same way.
After supper, he took the cup.
This is the new covenant, thatnew agreement in my blood.
And we come before you, lord,in my blood, and we come before

(45:38):
you, lord, we know that you shedyour blood, that blood of life,
that blood that gives life,that you shed it so that we
could have life, life in all itsfullness.
And we thank you, father, god,that you went to the cross.
Jesus, you went to the cross,obedient to your Father's will,

(46:08):
that, once and for all,sacrifice so that we could have
life, so that we could have life.
And, father, we just want to beyour followers, we want to be
obedient.
Help us to follow you in somany ways.

(46:31):
Help us to be able to be yourpowerful witnesses.
Forgive us when we let you down.
And we thank you that this bloodwashes away all our sins.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
We thank you that we can come before you.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
And this is just that remembrance as we drink the cup
, remembrance of what you'vedone for us.
We can never give enough thanksfor that.
In our weakness, Father, giveus strength.
We ask that in this powerfulname, amen, amen.

(47:14):
We ask that in his powerfulname, amen, amen.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Washed in the blood.
So, so, so important that weare washed in the blood of Jesus
Christ.
Wherever you are across thisworld on podcast, on radio, on
live stream camera right now theHoly Spirit is with you.
We have mentioned the HolySpirit more times than we've
ever done, I believe, on theseservices, the Holy Spirit is

(47:43):
moving across the world.
It isn't the first time.
He is always moving, god isalways moving, jesus is always
moving, the Spirit of God isalways moving.
The deity, the glory, the poweris with you, father.
If we are in the valley of theshadow of death, we come to you
now.
Lord and Father, we thank youthat we are walking forward and

(48:07):
you are preparing the table forus in the presence of our
enemies.
And as you prepare that table,as you gather everything
together, father, as you give usrest, as the scripture said, as
Glenn brought Lord, as Andy hasspoken and prayed about the
Holy Spirit, lord, as we'vebrought the word, the scriptures

(48:29):
, lord, we thank you that youbring the word to life, because
the word of God is sosupernatural, it is so powerful,
it is beyond reasoning, it isbeyond physics, it is beyond
mindset, it is beyond the testtube of life, lord, will you
give us more revelationalknowledge through the word?
We open our hearts up so thatwe will receive more of the

(48:50):
living word of god.
Father, we thank you that itisn't church that's got us saved
.
We thank you that isn't pastorsand bishops, and we thank you
that it isn't church that's gotus saved.
We thank you that it isn'tpastors and bishops and leaders.
We thank you that it isn'treligion, it isn't our family,
it isn't the amount of money, itisn't the lack of that's got us
saved.
It is God, it is the power ofGod, and we thank you that God

(49:11):
has dropped the gift.
God has called us, god hascalled us.
God has called you.
God has called you this morningand God is still calling you.
The Holy Spirit is with you.
We have nine minutes, mybrothers.
We have nine minutes.
We're time conscious.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
I'm thinking of this cup and the cedar mill.
Now there was another cup afterJesus drank this, another cup
of wine and he said I'm notgoing to drink that cup until I
come again.
Exactly, there's also aprophetic utterance when we take
communion.
One is to give thanks for his,to remember that he died for us,

(49:49):
gave his life for us and we'rein a covenant paid for by his
blood.
And the other one is he'scoming back, but he said until
he comes back, he has left hisHoly Spirit.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
I don't think he's finished with us on that.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
No, he hasn't.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
See, if you love me, you'll obey my commands.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Help me obey.
All scripture is God-breathed.
Do you believe that?
Yes, Lord.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
What about 1 Corinthians 14 then?
Pursue love and eagerly desirespiritual gifts.
We want it.
God, if you love me, obey mycommands.
Here's a command that the holyspirit has left pursue love, and
eagerly or earnestly, or it'shis desire yeah gifts of the

(50:29):
holy spirit and when you readand it says especially the gift
of prophecy, why?
When you get to Corinthians 14,verse 4, you'll see at the end
of that it says prophecystrengthens the entire church.
Yeah, prophecy strengthens theentire church.
Drop down to verse 8.
If a bugler doesn't sound aclear call, how will the

(50:52):
soldiers know they're beingcalled for battle?
How we need gifts of the HolySpirit.
Ben was saying earlier aboutpeople being raised from the

come.
Yes, father, before I start anddo anything, holy Spirit come.
And that's what I think weshould be doing as church

leaders, as leaders in in ourchurches.
We should ask the Holy Spiritto come and even wait on the
Holy Spirit to wait, certainlyin silence, and even wait on the
Holy Spirit to wait, certainlyin silence.
