I ask that the Holy Spirit be united with us and strengthen us. Lord, there is no message this evening unless Thou send us a message. May we be a message from God into Thee. and your spirit will indeed enlighten us and strengthen us. O God, glorify Your Name in this way and build Your house, even Your Church. We thank You, Lord, for all the precious prophecies in Your Word, and we pray to God for Your grace, and we make haste to pray for Your strength, power and our will to triumph in Christ's precious Name. Amen. We turn to our passage in Nehemiah, chapter 4. And there's two verses in chapter 4, 10 and 11, which God willing, we'll be thinking mainly about this evening. Chapter 4, verse 1, verses 10 and 11. And Judah said, the strength of the Pharaoh shall burn, since he came, and there is much rubbish, so we are not able to build the wall. And on an anniversary he said, there shall not hold, neither see, till we come in amidst the monument and slay them, and cause the work to cease. We will go into Haggai as well. This, of course, they were building the wall, and in Haggai they were rebuilding the temple. My son actually did Niyamaya last week and it reminded me of the verse that the Lord had put on my mouth months ago and thankfully he admitted to actually expand that one and it was these two verses and we know that Niyamaya was the cup bearer which was reading up on it, it was a very trusted position because the cupbearer would taste the wine and if it was poisoned he might have to lay down his life for the king. So he was very entrusted by the king and he became a very close friend of the king because of this. And he was in the right place at the right time. And if we are Christians and we are in God's will, whatever job we are in, whatever seal we are in, the Lord, if we are in his will, puts us in the right place at the right time. and we have to find out his will in this situation, no matter how hard they may lead. There are Christians who are losing their jobs to go into because of their faith. A near by goes in to see the king and he could lose his head. He'd probably know you're not meant to go in to see the king sad. You're not meant to go in to see the king asking for favours. And he said, even though I was his slave, he was frightened to go in. He was frightened. Now we see this in another sense that sometimes the Lord puts us to good service and initially there is a fear. And if you read the Apostle Paul, with all his revelations, with all his knowledge of the Old Testament, sometimes he was frightened. Remember, they went to Corinth and he said he was in fear. He was normally very bold with us, but a number of times God, He said, appeared to me with an encouraged thought and told me in one place to carry on preaching. No one's going to hurt you, Paul. He was afraid. And sometimes we think because we've got fear that we shouldn't do the thing, that it's too much, that it's not God's will. But sometimes we have to go forward as Nehemiah did in fear, even though he was frightened. and then you've got when at that time when you needed that strength to say those words that all strength was in it, that all strength was in helping. So again this is going forward to do God's will. Now in Eastern verses In 10 or 11, the war had been started. Nehemiah had gone there. He'd done a long journey, though perhaps I'm actually acquainted with the night. He'd done a long journey. It was a search war in another country, in another land. And then he rested for three days, and the war started. We see he looks around and he saw the state of his land and that's why he went to the king. That's why fearful as he was he went forward. And we look at our land and God is calling us to do a lot like he did in Angra. What is the Lord calling us to do? Nehemiah went to God in prayer. He went to the king in fear. He went to the king sad. And sometimes we might have to go to the king and the king is sad. And God will say to us, what are you sad about? And we can tend to say about that and not know how else to do it. And we might come to sorrow and longing for that. Indeed, this is what the Apostle Paul said, didn't he? I tell you weakly. And he said he had this sadness for the Jews. And in the Old Testament, quite often, it was a kind of sad, and out of the mourning period, it was followed by joy and reminiscence. So we can come to God and he sees our hearts and he knows we put a stand and we should open the life to him and ask God, what should we do? God has got a plan and he and I have set a plan, a vision. I don't mean a vision in a sense and a dream, but something that God chose us, he's got us to do. Well, the main thing I'm picturing tonight about is rubbish. We could call it a time for spring cleaning, or perhaps even water load, or rubbish. And it hindered their work. The Babylonians had completely flattened the land, and all of us here, this world could be translated as dust and rubble. And they're doing the work and everything seems so hectic. They could be attacked any time. That was the discouragement given him. We're going to come and get you just when you don't expect it. And it got to the so much that they stopped doing the work. The rubbish was hindering them. We see it sometimes in the streets, rubbish. We said sometimes if we're reaching out to someone, someone will move. But before we could move in and start, it took two to three days to clear out all the rubbish first, in bag, before you could get to the actual work. So the rubbish has to be dealt with in the first place. It's very difficult to decorate a room if you've got all the furniture in there and a lot of rubbish. So what is this rubbish? Well, one of the encouraging things Jonathan said last week was that these people had a mind to work. And that's an amazing thing, because we know there's a lot of energy in the church. But these people had a mind to work, so it wasn't that they lacked conservative. There were certain things that could be dealt with. Sometimes you see some of these pictures of the Second World War, and at some place in Germany, completely wiped out. And that's the situation here, just rubble. And they had to start the work, but what did they do? There's so much work to be done. And it's the symbol of God's Kingdom in our hands and in the world. There's so much work to be done. To build God's Kingdom, spiritually build the walls. There's so much to be done. We need to be built up. It talks of salvation, the walls of salvation. And there's little jobs we can do. We can win this, we can wash up, we can preach, we can go to the services. All these things, prayer, meditation, all building up the love of God. There's always something we could do. Someone said, well, I'm sweating in here. He said, the best place to live is in God's Word. Is that where we're living in this evening? And then there's that parable Jesus told in Luke 6, 46, where he talks about a foundation. Here's the foundation, built on a rock. He said, those are the people who know the truth, they hear it and they obey it. Those who hear the truth, they know it, they know it all, but they don't obey it. What does it say? It's like the sandcastles, you see, at the seaside. Some of them, they can make wonderful things, but at the sea comes in and we just get washed away. There's no foundation. It's not good enough to be a good word. It's not good enough to study. It's not good enough to pray up. Christ said, it's not those that hear me and obey my word, they are the ones who have the solid rock of the foundation. and they see the foundations and we want to put down here and we're talking the spiritual foundations. But rubbish has to be put out of the way. And we've all got rubbish in our lives. But sometimes they say God is always advancing. God is always advancing. We need to go on. And to go on sometimes rubbish has to be dealt with. And there's all different things that we could pass as rubbish in our lives. In last week, in group 9, I was talking about people making excuses not to follow God, to get married. I don't think this is the situation exactly here. These people were sincere. They didn't want to follow God, but that was all they promised. What is the rubbish? It's our sin. It's the old nature. It's the infirmities. It's the discouragement of sin comes along with. And the rubbish must be dealt with. Hebrews 12, put it aside, these weights, and the sin that so easily possesses us. Anything that slants down, anything that's in people's work, in our lives, in the church, it might be stagnant on itself, it tells them. But if there's a weight of your sin in your work, it must be put aside. Get rid of the rubbish. and carry on with God's work. Sometimes, as he says in Hebrews, you have the sin of easily possessing. Sometimes that's a lack of faith and this rubbish needs to be cleared out. Sometimes much rubbish needs much attention. More we find the sins, he says in Romans, the sins of the flesh by God's Christ. So what is our rubbish tonight? It's our sins and weaknesses. We need to throw up. And it's no coincidence that chapter 11 of Hebrews is all about faith and works. We're kept in chapter 12 which says we have these great pharisees, Joseph, Noah, Moses, they're all there. What did they do? They all did work by faith. And in chapter 12 it tells us to throw up anything that would hinder this race. Something can go and do God's work, building up the walls, building up the temple of God. You see faith always produces works. Now we've all got certain sins and certain weaknesses. Sometimes you get rid of one and then another one takes its place in the act of battles. It's a spiritual warfare. It's not talked about in the church, but really the whole mission tonight could be summed up as a world warfare. It's Satan's army against God's. And we're soldiers in God's army. And we can bow every day. And Satan can get at us in all different ways. It's so subtle. It's so subtle. I met once, I thought I was a mature Christian, and I'd been coming to this church for years, and I decided on top of what I was already doing, I was going to do this service at night, at a night school, where by the people there it seemed a normal thing to do, you're going to do God's work. It was going to help me. But I found as I did them, I was falling asleep. I was still giving to God at the same time in devotion, but I found I started to fall asleep. And even if I'd been after work, I went into the local church to pray before I went to this night school, I was falling asleep halfway through. And I couldn't understand it. You see, Satan knew he couldn't stop me deliberately doing my devotion, or deliberately getting me to come to the church fire, so he does it in a subtle way. He tries to make out this thing is serious, this thing is holy, this thing is good. And I pray to God when he's finished. And sometimes we have to learn from this. Nothing must come before our private devotion with God, nothing. Now in the preaching, that must always come first. And this is what I learned in the Guidance, never issue devotions in your prayer. Nothing. If anything is put before it, it's safe for coming in. Nothing like preparation for a sermon, nothing. As soon as you do it, say to yourself, I've just got a devotional today, I'll backslide it. And that's a good way now to make sure you do it. So we have to build ourselves a church up against the enemy. The enemy here was discouraging, discouraging. They, you know, at first we told them that suddenly they're going to be overwhelmed, and some of the same customers come and they say, you're going to be overwhelmed, you're not going to be able to cope, you can't do this and that and the other. Look at all your sins they've got to be dealt with first, all this rubbish, and in time you do all that, what a load of time is there to do work in the church? What are we going to do with the rubbish? We need to turn it away. We didn't take so much time doing it. There's no time to do God's work. We're tired. We're worn out. Going back to our prayer, we remember that Daniel was a man of prayer. Paul said pray without ceasing. We need to be people of prayer. And this is instructing us and enabling us to go forward and do God's work. And anything that gets in its way, like a thief there, we must pass it as rubbish. and there is much rubbish so that we are not able to build the wall. Sometimes we can concentrate so much, says Lord Jones, on becoming holy and examining ourselves. And he said it's good to examine yourself, but when it becomes sinful is when it becomes introspection and morbidity. And he said at that time we cross the line of examination to introspection and morbidity, you are sinning. And if you're only careful, you'll get caught in a whirlpool. And then you'll find out more sins and more sins, until you're so overwhelmed with these sins that rubbish you inside yourself, you go home as hard as it does work. Obviously, these sins have to be dealt with, and confessed, and repented of, for them to go on, as it says in Haggai, by the Spirit of God. And actually it encourages us tonight to step into the light and say that every man has got a work to do. It says every man carries his own burden, and we should share each other's burden. But then it says every man has his work. No matter who we are tonight, for every Christian throughout the world, God has got a work just for us to do, his work. And we're meant to do it. We shouldn't sit back and hope that somebody else does it. Every man has got his work. And we have to remember what Christ said, and a lot of preachers put it this way, what Jesus said, my food, my sustenance, the thing I live for, is to do the will of God and to finish the work that he gave me to do. That's what Christ said, gave me to do. I don't suppose anyone would ask for non-succinct, but we're fulfilling that. So he asked me, so the Bible calls us to work, work, work, serve, serve, serve. We read at one point here that he didn't have time to do anything, he wasn't even close to dying. Apparently this work lasted for 52 days and the wolf was spinning. It was hard, but God bless them. And in our position, we'll always take our position if we're doing God's will. If we're doing God's will. But we're part of the body and we've all got a function to build this body out of the church as they were building the wall up. We've all got a function. The eyes of God say to the hand, I can do that. Or the foot to the head. Each one of us has got our little part to do in the body and we must do it. Otherwise the body will not function properly and God's work will be hindered. Remember when Pastor Senka came to our anniversary and he said Christ went a bit further in the garden when he was praying. He went further when the others were praying. And he called us to go a bit further this year for Jesus. To go a bit further for Christ and the Gospel blessings. And these people were going out a bit further. And the Lord blessed them. Now I know the Lord is very patient with us as Christians and sometimes people make excuses. Probably anyone who is not of this church tonight who is a Christian probably thinks they have got an excuse for not coming and it is a valid excuse. And maybe sometimes it is. Last week we were talking about that the dead bury the dead. He wanted to go for a funeral and we were saying that the dead bury the dead but we are called to preach the Gospel and minister the Gospel. So with that summing symbol her brother should be like, over-examination, discouragedness of summing, sins that are bad, but Satan could exaggerate them and say that sin is greater than God's grace, which it's not. Even Paul said, I will reject man as I am. Who shall deliver me from this body of death? They found victory in Christ and in the Spirit. We ought to be humble to our sins. John Newton said, when people wrote to him and said, why am I still always affirmative? Why am I still falling into sin? I want to be other way. And he said, it's to make you value Christ more, and to humble you, and to rely on Christ more, and to give him more glory, and to show you that justification is refraining him alone. Nothing we could ever do. Our hearts are probably a lot worse than blood would ever show us. So we've got to look to God's grace and not to the discouragements that Satan gives us. And they'll be hindered in our right to success in Hebrews 12. Nothing should hinder us. The Satan also gets us developed into extremes. You get someone who goes and examines themselves too much and then you get someone who never examines themselves at all. And Lord John's Bible says it's difficult to say which one's the worst, really. But he said that you should be the person who over-examines themselves and tries to encounter them. The person who over-examines himself, it's always simple. They're very poor Christians, but the best ones. So as a church and as individuals we must clear the rubbish away so we can work better for the Lord, so we are free to work better, to confess our sins, to grieve over them, to mourn over them, and to get up near God's Word. If we confess our sins it is faith and justice that gives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. And to remember we have a love of saving and the heart of Christ is a heart of love. and not to walk around being a militant. Now, if we grieve the Spirit, and we are not tender towards the Spirit in His leadership in this way, and He's telling us the work we've got to do, we can't expect the church to be revival. There's too much rubbish in it. It has to be cleared. These people want to give all their energy. If you want a revival, why are you willing to give all your energy, all your time up to these people? Labels for Christ. Do you remember what he said? The harvest is great but the labels are few. Amen, put the rubbish aside tonight, dedicate yourself to God, to build up the church. The wonderful thing about the book of Haggai is that people there were really lacking in dedication. Actually, if they didn't want to do it themselves, they kept it on there, it's nice. I mean, we could always do that another day. But God came to that guy and he told him, now is the time to build God's house. We don't put it off. Now is the time to build God's church up, to build ourselves up, to be stirred in his spirit by the word of the papyri. Went to the people, the messenger, and the messenger stirred their heart by the word of the spirit. Are you stirred tonight to serve God? As never before, to lay down your life in his hands and by his grace be stirred to build his church. What happened in that guy? It was like revival. And the temple was built. And it's all of God's grace and by His Spirit. We need people to preach like Whitfield. And as he preached, the Spirit stirred them up. Our preach is stirring people up in their hearts, in their minds, to serve God more. It's only God's Spirit that can do that. As the preacher once said, there's like a big room, there's a load of Christians, and they're all asleep in it. It's like they put some stupid pill, and they're saying, please don't wake me up. I like it where I am. It's peaceful. I remember I went to the sphere a bit after I was converted from it, and they had preached the word once, and it was the easiest two years in my Christian life. You don't have any opposition at all, because Satan thinks he's all right there. And if you go to sleep, you're a Christian. Please start waking up. It says in Isaiah 50. Wake up, you sleepy Christian. Wake up. Stir up. It says in Paul 7 in the Scriptures. Stir it up. Get up and get on. Couldn't you go out with this on a Saturday morning? Perhaps you might not always feel like doing it, but when you get up, and you get on, and you get there, you're with each other, and the joy of the Lord is there, and the Spirit stirs you up. But you stir the Spirit up by going forward. Stir it up. You're a sleepy Christian. So Satan there was showing how big the enemy was, but the enemy wasn't that big. Sometimes he could chance all the things that have been akin to the world, and all our sins. But we need to look to Jesus and God, who is stronger than the enemy. Do you believe tonight that God is stronger than arthritis? Do you know where arthritis has got stronger than that? Is he stronger than the drug addict? Is he stronger than the alcoholic? Of course he is. It's not only the enemy, it's what we need to go forward by these people and work for the Lord and lay our life down in working for the Lord. Stir it up, get rid of the rubbish, look away from our sins and to Jesus, and don't get stuck in morbid introspection and discovery, which Satan does. God is able to do more than you think or imagine, he said in Ephesians. He's the God of hope. He's the Almighty God. And we need to see more of His grace and mercy in His life. And put off the deeds of the flesh and take the notice of Satan's discouragement. and look to the Lord instead. So, by God's grace, we need to clear our hearts and our minds of sin. Not that we're perfect, but we confess and we repent and we look and we keep on keeping on. And we need to be servile in this life, and to live this life, remember the The well-known verse by Isaiah, you shall rise up, the wings of the eagles, the nose of the way on the law. What happens when an eagle gets up, he sees a vision, he sees a panoramic view, and he knows the plan, that's why he arises. He had a plan, he had a vision from God, and he was not going to be weary, these people were weary, because God was going to give him this strength. Oh yes, we can be weary, we can be worn out, but God is never worn out, and he can strengthen our hearts and stir us up to follow him. in each world. Rise up, we, the people. God has got a plan of mission for you tonight. We need to wait with Him, and to rise up, and see that plan, and to see that the Lord will accomplish it by His power and strength. We have to remember it's God's power to allow us. We're part of the army that cannot lose, but we're just a soldier. We just have to do as it were, as the Sergeant Major said. That's the Him, isn't it? Like a mighty army, he's saying, he's the Church of God. I'm a Christian soldier. It does warm my heart. It's like a church. Well, our pastor, a few months ago, couldn't be helped. The Lord's blessing in our group. Well, what do we do? We don't worry about it. This is God's church. This is not a man's church or a person's church. I was ill for a number of years. It was good we took care of the church. You know what I'm doing now? This is God's church, and He can take care of it if we're faithful to Him and His Word, and we don't compromise, and we sincerely want to do His will. Come on, there's wealthy whites in one way or another who want to bring us down, but we must be able to stay graced by a positive grace. Set in conscience. So walk as you first knew. As you were converted, walk in that way, keep going that way. Don't turn to the left, but to the right. It could also mean old teachings, old teachings, rubbish teachings. We could fall back like in the case of the Roman Catholicism. We've got to clear any of that rubbish away that might come into our church. We mustn't let it take any more harm. We've got to be pastors in the past. No-one's perfect. Any rubbish still has to be cleared away. False teaching has to be cleared away. And if there is sin in the church, as we said, there is a wonderful Psalm 51 repentance. Israel were in this state because of sin. They were in captivity. I think it was really only meant to be there 70 years. When Israel come out, the Jews are still there, but because they are repentant. Like Psalm 51, trade me a clean arm. So the rubbish in Australia, no life there for everyone. The walls need to be built up. There's people out there going to the lost of sun and seeing hell. How can we just sit there and relax if the souls are going to hell? Surely there'll be time for a little bit of relaxation. Look, we just have to make sure we're ready to go. Husband Tony used to worry. He worried a lot. Until one day he realised when he sent out his servant to buy something, it would give him a little bit of money if it was a small thing, and it would give him a lot of money if it was a big thing. He said, if God wants me to do a little thing, I'll need that grace, and if it's a big thing, God will give me the grace to do that as well. From that day on he never worried anymore. It's God who gives you grace. We need to pray for the preachers and the teachers and the God Spirit. in Haggai. Excuse me, I have a sore throat. So when you read your Bible or listen to a preacher or perhaps you're reading a book, a good book, then you stir, by looking at Haggai. It's got a spirit stirring you, and you're doing work, and it's applying to you. It must be for work. It's the time to build. When we look in the UK and in England, in South West one, in Westminster, it's the time to rebuild God's house. The years, the declension, and then that guy comes back to us. By God's grace, we must go forward and believe that God will start a new world like these people did, Nehemiah and these people. And not to be caught off by the same systems to go on in God's world. And to realise that if we don't do it, if we grieve God's Spirit, it's a terrible sin. God says to these people, fear not to go forward and to do His will in His Spirit and in His power, and to faith not. In Revelation he talks about the walls. Someone was asking him about it in Revelation 21-22 when he was in heaven. The Jews were coming down and the walls were down. We want our literal walls in heaven, but they are the walls of salvation. They are the walls that are going to protect us forever from anything that is bad or evil, from Satan or anything. We need to build up the walls of God's Church, not physical buildings but spiritual buildings. Now when I am a priest, and told these people and they were stirred. And as we say, the gates of hell were not prepared against God's work. When it's God's work and we're in His will, like Nehemiah was, and we know that, we cannot fail. We cannot fail. And every family said, did their bit of work. Everyone filled in. Every family, no one was excused. Everyone had to do their bit. And everyone in the local church has to do their bit, even if it's just washing up. Everything's just as important. There's no one thing that's more important than an arm. The preacher is nothing without the prayer people. There's no job more important than an arm, in my sense. We're all building God's church. And if nothing else serves us, it should be the love of God. For God so loved us, that he gave us this son, who shall bleed, and sin shall not finish, but have everlasting life. Christ is the call of the Son. Christ is the source of life. Have we a mind to work? These people have a mind to work. Are we served to work for God? What is His plan for us? Let's go to Him in prayer and find out, Lord, what would you have me to do? On a daily basis, what would you like me to do? We meet every day, come to talk in crowd, what do you want me to do today? And to get me all this rubbish. I've been spurring them saying, some Christians have spent hours debating this and debating that, saying it's a load of fire, they're just wasting their time, it's a load of rubbish, and you can clear it out. And as I say, it could be something else, and it could be a hobby, it could be a study, it could be promotion, it could be a sport, it could be anything. If it's hindering the work, it must be taken away. It's rubbish. Remember what Paul said? We can't be all things lost but for Christ and the knowledge of Christ. Everything is lost unless it leads us to a greater knowledge of Christ. That doesn't mean that we don't have time to relaxation because our body needs that and that we become a Christ in prayer. We are not just spirits but we do all to the glory of God. James said faith without works is dead. If we are really saved we do the work. Can we really believe that Christ was impure without sin and God's wrath was on him and he loved us that much and God loved us that much to give us his son? Someone said it's almost as if God loved us more than his son. If God loves us that much, how can you say you've got faith in him and you're not doing anything? It's dead right and you're not saved. That's what scripture says. Faith in our works is dead, that's what it means. It doesn't mean our work's safer. If you really believed and you sat in faith with your salvation, you would do worse for God and exploits Christ's good. Why is God cool enough to do unseeking? The rubbish must be cleared away. Modern days, now, the preaching of God's word has been medicated. There's a load of stunts and emotionalism. But that's the way the Bible talks about revival. And in history, it's not the way history brought about revival. In all of them, or most of them, revivals came about through the preaching of God's word. Faith comes through hearing God's word and God's service. as we say in our hymn. But what if God is rejecting you? If He comes to us tonight and I have to be spirit and you do not follow that, the next thing that may happen to our land will be Christ's return. I mean to be positive. Now this word rubbish actually means dust. a rubble and a dust of everything. And you know what dust is like. You're trying to do a work in house and there's dust everywhere because of the bricks, the rubble, whatever. You can't see what you're doing and it gets in your eyes and it makes you grieving. Like there's a glass and there's dirt in it and so what do you do? You just let the dirt go to the bottom and then you see clearly. And if you're not sure of God's will, you get the Holy Spirit that sometimes is symbolised by walking in God's will, be filled with the Spirit, be still and know that I am God, and see clearly what God wants you to do. Because He has got work for each one of us this evening, He says in His Word, what's God calling us to do tonight? We need to go on and do it by experience, to believe God, even though I might be afraid. And there will be opposition. And if you know there will be opposition in your life, I don't know spiritual warfare, you're not a Christian, says Lord John. Because you'll always be in opposition if you're a Christian at some point, somewhere in your life. In Acts there's an opposition. The apostles were in opposition. In the Old Testament, you realize that by all malposition, you're governing opposition. There's one common path. It says God will bring you through the opposition and in the end you'll be blessed. That's what it was. They finished the war and in Acts there was a revival and Paul revealed his trials of how he was used to God in all these different places. So let's go on brethren. No matter what the opposition is, God is greater than the opposition. He's truly more powerful. He has soul strength in me. He has soul power in me. Not by power of my mind but by my spirit, says the Lord. All we need is to be encouraged this evening, not there saying discourage us. God has got a plan for us, and when we take the course, God for us. We need to serve them. You know, I say in the Reformed Church, we believe in the six days and the one day, seven days of creation. I'm very emphatic about that. And also on a Sunday we should come to church, we should be going to work. But what about the six days? That's a command as well. We're meant to work six days. That's a command. It's just as difficult to break that as to break the Lord's Day. There's no difference. These people work. What did Paul say? He said if you don't work, he said, don't feed them, don't give them any food, in a New Testament manner. We should be full of good works, zealous of good works. If we've got spirit, you know, oh what wonderful God we have. We're on the victory side, as these people were. And we don't need to be weighed down. We can cast our care on the Lord. So, just summing up then, we have the King, we have DMI with the plans, right? We have a hard work, we have got spirit stirring them up as we did in Haggai and the work is done and accomplished and blessed. or maybe be in their spirit, maybe be stirred, maybe go on with the Lord, building his church, building it up, spreading it out, we pray for God's grace, for our land. There was another vision. Pastor Zegna, he came and took over an empty church that had been destitute for seven years. Nobody came. Then one person came, and nobody came again. And I made a big concert, they didn't have a chance. They did not get permission to use their doors. That church has got one of the largest people now, paying for Sunday schools. He's got one in Brighton, he's got one in Oxford, he's got one in my home, he's got one in every area. But he gives too much respect, he gathers his vision. And he hasn't got a lot of money, the church is basically given to him. A man of vision and faith. Now what is his work? He's a very simple Christian. We just need to know it, and to obey it, and to rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him, and to rise up with wings and eagles. We shall learn not with will, we shall be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His mind. Praise God for His grace. Let's come to our last hymn. Hymn number five, three and four. 534. It's wonderful, we've got Francis written down again. The person had many adversaries, but she's victorious from them. Who is not also? Who will serve the King? Who will be his helpers, other lives to bring? Thank you, David. Oh As before our great divide, We are one, safe and bright. Not one is broken, our hope and love, I am real, I'm real, I'm real, I'm real, I'm real, I'm real In my mercy heart. Let us be the angels of His child. Let us love the Lord. Let us be the warriors of the truth and the law. Father, help me, Lord. Lord, I praise Thee, Lord. Loving Father, we thank you for such a great salvation and such a wonderful gospel. We just pray for strength in our land. We pray your spirit will stir us and give us a fresh understanding of your will and vision for our lives and our land. We pray that you will fill us and use us and work in us. And we worship you and pray for you because it's such a wonderful gospel. Our Lord, we pray that peace that the Gospel has given us through the Lord Jesus, through His bloodshed on the cross, the peace of God that passes all understanding, will keep our hearts and minds with Christ Jesus, our Lord.
