I want to speak to you this morning abut
on a subject the Lord has promised to
deliver you the Lord has promised that
Olivia would you please go to Psalm 34
Psalm 34 of all the 150 Psalms in book
of Psalms chapter 34 is my absolute
favorite I’ve been in a habit of
carrying it and around in my pocket and
a card typed out and in every nation
pulling that out and reading it Psalm 34
and I want to read just a few verses
there let’s go to verse 4 Psalm 34 I
sought the Lord and he heard me and
delivered me from all my fears verse 7
the angel of the lord encamps around
about them to fear him and deliver them
verse 17 the Wrights is cry and the Lord
heareth and out of all trouble you
didn’t finish it
verse 19 many are the afflictions of the
righteous but the Lord delivereth out of
them all I would say this chapter is
about deliverance would you Heavenly
Father we thank you for your presence in
this house this morning we thank you for
the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the
goodness of God to this church and to
those who have been faithful to you now
Lord we need an anointing we need to
hear clearly from you we come under the
anointing and unction of the Holy Spirit
because we have no strength of our own
we come totally dependent on you to
speak to our hearts minister to us and
strengthen us for the battles ahead and
we honor you we honor your word and give
you glory in Christ’s name I pray amen
David had been anointed king of Israel
in a secret confrontation or anointing
by Samuel Samuel poured oil over his
head and said you’re now appointed by
God as king of Israel but there was a
long trip
there were many battles before we had
ever come to the throne in the second
21st chapter Sam you will find David
running from Saul Saul had declared and
vowed he is going to kill him and now
you see David running hastily or at
least walking hastily over the hills and
dusty roads and through the valleys he
said I have to get away from the
jurisdiction of this man he’s going to
kill me and you see an anointed man a
godly man a man after God’s own heart
and he’s running for his life he said I
have to get out of here
he’s moving of course in the flesh and
the clear seas I’ve got to get out of
jurisdiction so the clearest border is
in fullest philistia and the nearest
city is Gath under King a Koosh he
crosses the border or is in the border
and evidently the guards lay hold of him
border guards lay hold of David David is
hoping he can get by not being
recognized and maybe just as a tourist
on his way to gather for a shopping
spree or whatever it may be or to get a
sword sharpened and he he listens to
these men and they’re conversing now
they’re looking at David and David
overhears the conversation isn’t this
that famous David that they sing about
on the streets in Jerusalem
David is slain of ten thousands and
weren’t those our people are they not
Philistines that he killed that looks
like Goliath sword and David knew he was
in trouble he knew that he heard
something about
than being him being taken to Gath the
king to a Koosh king of Gath and David
panics David knows that he’s going to be
accused as being a terrorist he knows
that he’s going to be beaten then he
knows he’ll be dragged all through is
all through the Philistine cities and
and and made a spectacle and he fears
for his life suddenly David pretends to
be a madman and suddenly he goes into
contortions his face his contorted
spittle comes down his beard and he’s
spouting nonsense and senseless phrases
and and wiggling and striking it the
them and in that particular climate and
time they would not go near a mad person
or someone of insanity because they
believed demons would jump upon them and
these men said we better take him to the
king and they take him into the palace
of King
Ankush and APIs watch as David what a
scene it must be here’s a man of God
been anointed king and he’s in panic and
he’s he’s putting on his seat he’s
scratching on the doors making those
scratching sound screaming probably
wallowing on the floor and dis babbling
senselessly and he pulled back his why
would you bring a madman in my presence
I don’t know if he was afraid of the
demons too but he said get him out of
here David is escorted to the border and
he’s told never again come back get out
of here
David escapes to the cave a deulim and
it’s in probably in the cave or not long
after his freedom out of that terrible
situation that he pens this chapter the
34th chapter of Psalms he’s talking
about how God had delivered these are
calling the
episode how God had set him free now I
don’t believe the Holy Spirit I don’t
believe the Lord told him to act the
fool because Bible says God’s not given
a spirit of fear but love and power in
the cell mind that’s not a sound mind
and so David is actually moving and
feared he’s moving in the flesh but he
pens this an incredible chapter these
words I sought the Lord he heard me he
delivered me the aims of the Lord and
camps are all about that fear but he
said I cried to the Lord when did he cry
though because this is he’s praying the
fool you know that he’s not praying
audibly he has to be screaming inside
there has to be a silent prayer going on
David said I cried to the Lord
I made my petition known and you read
this you hear he said this poor man
cried the Lord heard him and saved him
out of this trouble if Oh sometimes the
loudest cry is inaudible I’ve known what
it’s like and many of you know what it’s
like to be so overwhelmed in situations
and circumstances you’re so overwhelmed
you can’t pray you can’t speak out I’ve
known what it is to be in circumstances
that I didn’t understand so far beyond
me
such pain I would just sit in my study
and sit in a chair and say god I don’t
know what to say I don’t know what to do
I I don’t even feel like praying but oh
god help just help have you ever been
there have you been there where you say
god I I don’t know how to answer I don’t
know what this is all about I I can’t
explain it but I’m in pain I’m
overwhelmed and and and here is David
having to acknowledge though what’s
going on with me I’m playing a fool he
knows he’s conscious of what he’s doing
why am i doing this what’s happening to
me and he’s crying out in in audibly his
loud voice
I honestly brevis
the loudest prayers I prayed the most
important prayers I prayed the most
heart reaching to God’s heart have been
in fillable silence where it’s just been
a word help and I’m telling you now
whatever you’re in no matter what you’re
going through and you don’t feel like
praying you see the problem is often we
just clam up we just closed in on
ourselves and say God doesn’t care that
God would not have allowed this in my
life if I were right there’s something
going wrong and I don’t understand
so we clam up or we go eat or we watch
television and try to just try to ease
our conscience and try to break through
human efforts but God sometimes comes in
so and I know he comes in he hears the
most quiet the most you see we think
it’s not feeling we think if we’re not
crying out of we’re not screaming at God
he doesn’t hear God hears every whimper
God has hears every in every inaudible
voice that cries out and that’s why
David said my heart cried out to him
there is a heart cry I sought the Lord
and I cried this poor man cried in 1958
as a skinny I was a hundred and
seventeen pounds when I first came to
New York somebody said when he turns
around
you think he’s raptured
one man said if he drinks kool-aid he
looks like a thermometer
I was mocked and ridiculed I was naive
and I came to New York City because I
felt the Holy Spirit spoke to me to come
I’ve seen a picture of seven boys
indited for murder and I came here
weeping and brokenhearted and in just a
country preacher and I went to the trial
and this story has been told many many
times but there’s a point I’m trying to
make and I I felt I went to a Friday
session and I knew at the end of the
session they would be dismissed those
boys would go into a side cell and a
wait to be taken back to prison and once
that happened I would never be seen the
Lord spoke go higher try to talk to them
about Christ you see if they did they
need help they need Christ I went to the
considering the court and suddenly
something came on me I took my Bible and
I heard there was an impulsive spirit of
the Lord
at least that’s what I believed and I
still believe and I get up and I
approached the judges bench
his name was David’s and I said judge
Davidson would you give me a moment with
these boys please
the police jumped up and I was
unceremoniously escorted and dragged out
of that courtroom and I’m thinking oh
god what happened
God everything spinning out of control
and I’m taken out in front of in the
lobby of the that courtroom and flash
bulb flashing and so my dad’s going to
see that
my dad’s assistant superintendent sums
of God in the state and and my people
are going to think I’m crazy and I’m
crying is that God what was happening to
me what’s going wrong like I thought you
told me I had someone sent me a picture
of wife Magdalene ooze and I don’t know
why I had a tie bow tie line and Anna
Silius looking country coat
salt-and-pepper almost white did and I’m
looking at that and I said I was most
stupid naive person could I look at that
bow tie I never wore a bow tie
but at that courtroom I wore a bow tie
as if I won to some function this poor
man cried and the Lord heard him
I remember that cry I remembered that I
couldn’t pray out loud and for the
people they thought I was crazy anyhow
can you imagine what they thought up I’m
suddenly on my knees praying or crying
out oh god help me deliver I don’t know
what happened there was something inside
and God heard that cry and he honored it
to this very day David said he comes out
of it and he’s writing this story said I
will boast
until my lord first the first verse I
will bless the Lord at all times
appraisal identity be in my mouth second
verse my soul shall make her boast in
the Lord
the humble so here there Alban be glad
and he’s saying to you and he’s saying
to me I’m going to boast on how God
delivered me even though I was in
foolishness even though I made a foolish
move even this this was not
if this was not truly how sea-god could
have delivered him in any way God could
have blinded those guides and David
could have escaped he could have
stricken a Koosh there are any ways that
he could have done it David said I took
it my own hands I walked into flesh and
still I’m going to boast on the Lord
because I cried out I prayed I took it
to the Lord God heard me and God
delivered me the lesson is God hears and
responds to the faintest cry of his
people let me give you another scene
that has to do with deliverance of God’s
people you don’t need to turn there but
in a second in 2nd Peter we read of the
flood and we read of the fire falling
Asada man Gemara
and picture the scene what do you see
when you think of the flood it do you
have you ever ever tried to vividly
picture that seeing the water rising in
40 days and 40 nights of rain and it’s
rising and it rises in the people’s
homes and those who know how to swim or
people in governing a piece of furniture
a piece of wood anything to hold on to
climbing trees until it’s over their
heads and finally a scene of bodies
floating everywhere when you think of
Sodom and Gomorrah what is the picture
you see is it just vengeance you you see
this sulfuric fumes suffocating people
by the thousands and they’re screaming
and suffocating and falling and fire and
brimstone yes you see the bible does
said that these things happen the
scripture said he spared not the old
world he brought down the flood on the
world
he turned the cities of Sodom Gomorrah
into ashes making them examples unto
them that afterwards should live ungodly
but you see this scene has nothing to do
with God’s people it has nothing to do
with me at all
has nothing to do with overcoming
Christians that’s the sign that that
that is an example God says I want you
to know that I deal with violence I deal
with with rampant sin there is a wrath
of God upon the wicked who refuse a
hundred and twenty years of preaching
upon those who have turned themselves
over to sin there will be a Judgment Day
but folks what do you see what do you
should pulse to see because that whole
episode begins with the greatest if in
the Bible let me just you want to go
there if you will please second Peter
and let me show it to you because it has
everything to do with God’s people if
you get to Hebrews you’re getting close
second Peter verse four for if God now I
want you to focus on if please we’re
talking about deliverance if God spared
not the Angels that sinned but cast them
down to hell and delivered them into
chains of Darkness to be reserved and
spared not the old world but saved Noah
eighth person a preacher of
righteousness bringing in the flood upon
the world and a godliness and in other
words if and if he turned the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned
them with an overflow making them an
example unto those who after which to
live in godly and delivered just lot
vexed with the filthy of a conversation
of the world for that goodness man
dwelling among them and seeing and
hearing vexed his righteous soul all
right listen to me for we read the next
verse
here’s what
God is saying to his people if I in the
midst of a flood when the whole world is
being known earth at the time is being
destroyed and I’m taking vengeance on
violence yet I focus on one man and his
family it’s right there it says and he
spared not the old world but saved Noah
the eighth person a preacher of
righteousness then he goes on he said if
I condition if if in the wrath of God
everything around you is coming down in
fire and brimstone come back to if if
that happens then you go down to verse 9
then the Lord knoweth how to deliver the
godly out of temptation and to reserve
the unjust of the day of judgment to be
punished the Lord knoweth how to deliver
God says I’m just giving you two of the
greatest examples mankind could ever
know have I have compassion on one
righteous man and his family and I saved
Noah if I could save Noah when the world
is falling apart if I can save lot and
his daughters and send an angel and drag
them out do I not know how to deliver
you do I know not how to come and save
you what are you saying if the whole
city around you begins to crumble if
everything goes wrong if you will trust
me yeah I will and the lesson is this
God will go to any extreme God will do
whatever it takes to do to deliver his
people from their battles and from their
temptations God will do what it takes
you see it how about an amen than this
did
what a wonderful thought that he would
care for me you see it took the opening
of the Red Sea deliver God’s people
it took water out of a rock these are
miracles when you look at how God all
through the Bible it took a miracle to
save them from hunger water or bread
falls from the skies and it took an ark
for the saving of Noah so don’t doubt
that God doesn’t know away God knows he
knoweth how and you see God what that
really means God knows how to deliver he
that simply means he already has plans
God never sits on his plans God never
has the planets as well one day at one
time Alvin said this in order because
God has a plan he know I don’t care what
you’re going through
and I don’t care what I’m going through
before I ever go into it he had a plan
he had a plan he has a way and he’s not
going to do it the way you figured it
out last night in bed he’s not going to
figure it out in all the options that
you’ve offered him he will not accept
one of your offers with any flesh in it
he said no no no no that’s not my way
that’s your way my ways are above your
ways my thoughts are above your thoughts
you can’t conceive it God knoweth how to
deliver and but let me take you to
Jeremiah 29 you don’t have to turn there
but Jeremiah the 29th verse
this is confirmed by jeremiah he said
before you cry before you call I will
answer you believe that God has the
foreknowledge that he can anticipate
every foolish move you and I Moke make
he can he can foresee all of our doubts
in our fears but you see he said David
said I cried out to the Lord I went to
the Lord I prayed I sought the Lord what
are you doing in your crisis are you
pouting or are you just saying well I’m
not going to question God but I sure do
question myself because in questioning
yourself you’re still questioning to God
what do you do in Jeremiah Israel’s in
captivity in Babylon and it’s the
greatest trial they’ve ever been through
when God had told him he said after 70
years I’m going to visit you and I’m
going to deliver you for my thoughts
that I think toward you saith the Lord
our thoughts of peace and not of evil to
give you an expected end and in Hebrew
the expected in I’m going to give you
that what you longed for God said my
thoughts are not evil towards you but I
am thinking good thoughts toward you I’m
going to tell you something I breathe
this on my heart you can never be
delivered from your temptation you
cannot be delivered from any crisis that
you’re in you cannot be delivered until
you fully are convinced that God means
what he says I am thinking good thoughts
about you I’m not mad at you I’m
thinking good thoughts and not evil
thoughts and if he’s thinking good
thoughts his thoughts actually are
creating something his thoughts are
creative and if he’s thinking it he’s in
the process of doing it and as I’ve told
you a hundred times the hardest part of
faith is the last half-hour and then you
say Oh
I had believed I wish and that you doubt
because you doubted he says then you
shall call upon me this is still in
Jeremiah 29 chapter then you shall call
upon me and you shall go and pray to me
and I will hearken to you I’ll listen to
you he said making you the promise I’m
telling you that I’m not mad at you I’m
thinking good thoughts about you and I
want you to believe that and I want that
to promote you I want that to provoke
you to go into the prayer room and pray
in faith then you’ll call upon me then
you’ll pray then I’ll hearken to you
I’ve got good thoughts about you I have
a plan now go and pray about it and the
reason he wants you to prays to get
ready to get ready to receive the glory
of those thoughts that he’s been
thinking you know when I was studying
this matter of deliverance the Holy
Spirit spoke clear to my godö Hezekiah
study his life and so this past week
I’ve been studying the life of Hezekiah
let me tell you what God says about the
Bible says about him he’s a godly godly
king of Judah and the Bible says he did
that was right in the sight of God he
pulled down idols he outlawed idol
worship the Bible said he clave to the
Lord
he never departed from the Lord the Lord
was with him wherever he went and in all
that he did the Bible says he called a
backslidden nation to God he was a man
of Prayer a man of worship he preached
holiness and separation from the world
he greatly feared the Lord he was
blessed and favored by God he was
prospered in all of his ways and to
capital all off the scripture says
Hezekiah and walked or worked out which
was good and right and truthful
before the Lord is God and every work
that he began in the service of the Lord
and in the law in his commandments to
seek his God he did it with all his
heart and he’s brought prospering the
understand what God is saying here’s a
man the Bible in fact the Bible calls
him the greatest King said there was no
one like him before no one like him and
one who had so set his heart on God do
the righteous suffer does the devil aim
his greatest weapons the most powerful
intense weapons against those such as
I’ve described to you now those who pray
those who worship those who are called
the scripture says the very next chapter
after I just read you these words no one
saw him more with all his heart and soul
and mind he saw God with everything is
in the next verse it says then after all
these things it says after all these
things and the establishment they’re off
in other words everything that he’s done
is now established he’s established
ministry after minister after ministry
he’s done these great things for God and
after all these things the scriptures
then came Sennacherib who represents the
devil himself and his Assyrian army
which represents all the principalities
and powers of darkness after these
things and the establishment thereof
Sennacherib king of Assyria Cain entered
into Judah and camped against the fence
cities and thought to take it all for
himself that’s the devil’s whole plan he
comes to the rites as he comes and many
of you don’t know that that’s why the
enemies come against you because the
devil was trying to do just as he did to
Hezekiah
throw these terrible lies into your head
throw them over the wall it
ooh that protective ball throwing them
over the wall your God is not with you
God has failed you
you’re going down I’ve taken down
greater men than you Hezekiah was told
by Sennacherib he said and you’re going
down next God sent me the devil said God
sent me God told me to tell you this and
then all these little voices begin to
pop in your head your failure there’s
something wrong or you wouldn’t be
suffering you wouldn’t be sick you
wouldn’t be going through what you are
there’s something wrong with you
there’s something wrong you’re under
discipline this man was not under
discipline this man was righteous this
man was holy this man sought God with
all of his heart
then came Sennacherib then came sin
acted to take it to himself and
Sennacherib has to sit and listen to
reports as 46 of his cities are
destroyed and taken down and sanaka
begins to lay siege on Jerusalem word
comes from the 209,000 of the judi i’ts
had been captured he finds out that many
of his troops are are deserting to
Sennacherib he finds that those he
trusted most who thought they were
righteous and that he had built such a
revival and now he discovers that
they’re turning running out of the city
gates turning themselves over and
beginning even to fight in sanik roads
army and those reports are all still
available in the annals as Iraq of
Sennacherib steel in possession of
historians today his whole story how he
came with battering rams how he set up
all kinds of tricks and dug under walls
and sucked the water flows and all the
attacks coming against Israel and he and
can you imagine Hezekiah
going through this and for a while he
wavered in his faith he wavered sanaka
demanded huge amounts of gold and silver
asked for his daughters to go into his
harem
to snackers report and demanded all of
these things and at first a letter was
sent to lakish where the king had set up
a temporary ivory ivory throne and he
sends him a letter and says all that you
asked I will do because he felt helpless
there was nothing to do he said I’m
going to take the easy way
Isaiah the prophet came to him said no
there were two attacks by sanaka he
backed away for a while but then he
comes back and that’s the trick of the
enemy he’ll attack you and if there is
not a stand of faith if you do not stand
up against him in faith and prayer and
go into the house of God if you don’t
hear the prophets if you don’t hear the
word that comes a prophetic word to
strengthen you and you begin to just
ease off you just back up and say I
don’t want to fight this anymore and you
get nervous you get afraid and you’re
scared and the enemy is winning the
battle and when he sees that weakness
when he you see the whole battles
against our faith that’s what it’s all
about
he’s gang after he doesn’t want the goal
he doesn’t want the silver he doesn’t
really want those women in his harem
he’s got more women that he can handle
in his harem he wants to be able to
bring this man’s faith because this is
the only man the only King that stood
against him and it was this faith in God
and what the devil is after the tests
are going through is a test of faith
will you believe God in the hardest of
times will you believe God no matter
what’s happening to your body know what
has happened to your family
know what’s happening around you and
you’re going to take a stand and now
through the advice and and prayers of
Isaiah he goes into the temple of God he
goes into the house of God and this time
he gets another letter from Sennacherib
and he lays it before the Lord and the
Lord says to Isaiah tell Hezekiah to
send you back another letter and tell
him O king separate Cenac not this time
I
not the one going down you’re the one
that’s going down my god said he’s going
to deliver me did you ever get a letter
from the devil you see he goes to the
Lord and he prays and this is the
Prairie prayed this day is a day of
trouble and of rebuke and blasphemy for
the children are come to the birth and
there’s no strength to bring forth no
how many times that’s people how we come
to that place he says is a day of
troubled and shame and rebuke I don’t
have the strength
and Hezekiah goes to the house of God
and he said Lord this is beyond I have
no strength left I don’t know what to do
and he turns it all into the hands of
the Lord and Isaiah said to King
Hezekiah the Lord has heard you he said
God is going to move and deliver you you
see folks we have better promises and
Hezekiah had we have a cross where Jesus
took all of our pain and he made a way
and the Bible said the deliverer shall
come out of Zion and that’s what he has
called all through the Old Testament
he’s called a deliverer and at the cross
of Jesus Christ he made a way we have
these these better promises who gave
himself our sins that he might deliver
us from this present evil word world
according to the will of God and the
Father and it’s through the blood of
Jesus Christ as a clot stand on the
blood of Jesus Christ
he stood simply on a promise we stand
not only a promise but we stand on the
blood of Jesus Christ that we have the
victory over sin over temptation and
that God in every battle he said many
are the afflictions of the righteous and
the Lord will deliver them out of them
all he says and it came to pass that
night and with this I’m going to close
it came to pass that night the angel of
the Lord went out and smoked in the camp
of the Assyrians one hundred eighty
thousand one hundred eighty-five
thousand soldiers and they arose in the
morning and behold they were all dead
now I read a theologian account of this
and he said well really there was no
angel of the Lord that night there was a
fascination of one hundred eighty-five
thousand mice who had bubonic plague and
bit him well that’s a bigger miracle
that I’m talking about all I know that
the enemy was dead the enemy was gone
and of course an Accra goes home and
he’s killed by his son he’s killed in
his own temple all Folkston one day soon
if you will seek his face and trust him
you’re going to wake up to a miracle
you’re going to wake up that night that
night
I want to believe Lord said to tell you
this many of you that are in the hardest
place you’ve ever been you’re on the
brink of a miracle you are not going
down you’re going to wake up one morning
and you’re going to get one report after
another God has done this God has done
this God has done this
and he’s lifted the load will you sit
down and give him an offering a praise
stand and give him an offering a pre
Lord thank you you’re going to deliver
me from the temptation that’s hounding
me you’re going to deliver me Lord from
my financial fears you’re going to
deliver me O Lord from my marital
problems you’re going to deliver me Lord
because you’re faithful God and you have
delivered all through the Bible and
you’re no respecter persons so I’m going
to lay it out to you Jesus deliver me

thanks but we give you thanks for your
faithfulness your goodness and your
mercy your loving Heavenly Father you’re
thinking good thoughts for your people

down the aisle and come here and here in
the auditorium just come I want to pray
for you that the Lord would know if I
ask all those who had birds to come
they almost area if you tell me you
don’t have any burdens well forget it I
won’t get into that eye but I’m
concerned just for those this morning
there’s a pastor David I I really have
drifted from the Lord or I don’t have
the relationship with Jesus that I need
them that I want I can’t fight this
alone anymore the Holy Spirit’s here to
help you to beat your comforter and to
if you don’t understand Jesus the Holy
Spirit come and help you to understand
what it’s all about but he wants you to
confess your need he said if you just
come to me I won’t cast you out
while the orchestra requires singing
something just step out of your sitting
in the annex invite you just turn and go
back bring your purse and your
belongings with you and come and you’ll
be ministered to in prayer we not ask
you to do anything silly now I ask you
to say anything not asking you to join
anything we’re asking to come in your
need to Jesus who’s your only strength
and hope
follow these that are coming god bless
you come now you can come even while I’m
talking just to quick word the devil is
not a mind reader
he cannot read your mind but he can
infusion and steal thoughts into your
mind principalities and powers of demons
can whisper to the mind and plant these
terrible seeds of fear with thoughts of
hopelessness and thoughts of despair and
discouragement and most of all the lies
that come that everything bad in your
life result because you’re just a bad
person for those who have a hungry heart
for those who really want Jesus and they
really want change the Lord said take
captive of those thoughts will you do
that right now capture those thoughts
say no say no to them right now and toss
them out say no I will not believe this
I will not believe these lives those
that are sick and afflicted sometimes
and are told they have disease the first
thing Adele says you’re dying it’s all
over and maybe you lie too about your
future your past your present try to
bring up everything in your past all
your failures
I guess the reason Louisa would the
church so likes the story loves the
story of David is because his failures
and foolishness
he had a repentant heart and always
turned to the Lord and that relates to
us so will you take those fears and
doubts right now and say Jesus I can’t
we say it right now Jesus I give you my
fears I give you all the lies erased
them it gives me strength not to accept
them or believe them and when they come
to take authority and push them aside
now pray this with me Jesus the Bible
says you have good thoughts healing
thoughts saving thoughts toward me not
evil thoughts but thoughts for good
and I thank you for how you’re thinking
of me forgive me Jesus of my doubts my
unbelief I give my sins my foolishness
everything is unlike you I give it to
you I repent of it and I trust you now
that your goodness and your love for me
is something that I believe that I can
feel and I can take home with me now let
me pray Heavenly Father these these
prayers from the heart you’ve heard just
as I preached even the silent prayer is
heard the Holy Spirit come and heal
so many that are hurting Lord even those
who didn’t step out as you know Jesus
I’m hurting so bad
Holy Spirit you’re the comforter we’ve
come now it is Comfort that’s what this
church is about it is now therefore no
condemnation to them to be in Christ
Jesus none come Lord and lift every load
that everybody in the side of my voice
walk out of here with hope and say yes
Jesus you were good
you’re merciful ready to forgive wanting
to heal and if we would just open up our
hearts and receive it would you just
lift it up one hand at least the two
hand and say Lord I receive right now I
receive the goodness of God toward me I
receive forgiveness I receive healing in
Jesus name
hallelu thank you Jesus this is the
conclusion of the methods
