on chapter 16 and verse 25 all right now forget this is the time this is the the night before the crucifixion all this from beginning with chapter 12 through the crucifixion all happened within a 24 hour period and this here was Tuesday night before the crucifixion on Wednesday morning Now, the Bible said in verse 25, These things have I spoken unto you in Proverbs, that the time cometh when I shall no more speak unto you in Proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. Alright, so we see here that the Bible says that Jesus is speaking in Proverbs and he's illustrating doctrinal truths or hidden truths that we don't know anything about right at the time. But look at verse 26 and that day you shall ask in my name And I shall not say unto you that I will pray the father for you Now folks watch verse 27. I'm going to show you something there for the father himself loveth you all right now watch this now the bible said the father himself loveth you reason because You have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father. Alright, so then God's love is passed on to those that believe Jesus. Right? A person says, God loves you. God loves those that believe Jesus. There it is. The display of God's love is passed on to all those that believe Jesus. Alright, verse 28. Came forth from the father and I'm coming to the world again I leave the world and go to the father Now there's something in that verse that I'll have to admit. I can't exactly say I fully understand it It's either one of two things Notice what notice that little word in there again Do you see it? The Bible says I come forth from the father and am coming to the world again. I Now that would have to mean one of two things, either he came here at creation or before creation, right? Or he's talking about the time he came the first time and he's illustrating, he's going back using the past tense there. Now I don't know which is which, I'm not really sure. But nevertheless, this verse tells us here, it's one of the many verses that tells us that Jesus is the eternal God. Alright. He says, I leave the world and go to the Father. Now look at verse 29. His disciples saith unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now they got a broadcast on the radio that says the plain truth by Herbert W. and Garner Ted Armstrong. There's the plain truth, folks, right there. That's no proverb. That's the plain truth that Jesus came in the world and He's gone back to the Father. And the Bible said that's no proverb, that's the truth. Alright, now look at verse 30. This disciple now, they spoke back to him and he said this, Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee? By this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Now I want to show you something here that's practical today and show you how this works on people today. The disciples said, yes Lord, we believe you and we know that you're the one that God sent and we know, we believe that thou camest forth from God. That's what Jesus had been telling them now for the past three years, isn't it? That's what he had been illustrating to them for the past three years, right? And now they says, we believe that. But look at the reply Jesus made to that, and it's just like it is today among most people. Jesus answered, do you now believe? He said in other words, do you really believe it? Now folks, look here. You go up to somebody and say, I'd like to invite you to church. Oh, I believe. I like to come to church. I used to go to church. Oh yeah, I believe all that. You might say, do you believe? Then why is your life in the condition it's in? Why are you in the condition you're in? Notice what Jesus said in that next verse. Jesus answered them, do you now believe? He said, do you really believe it? Do you believe it? Now look why he knew. See, Jesus knew they didn't believe it. Because the next verse tells us why. Behold the hour cometh yea and now is that you shall be scattered every man to his own see and Shall leave me alone. And yet I am not alone because the father's with me Jesus said The hour is here. The time has come when every one of you are gonna scatter just like folks are today everybody scatters off to what he believed within his own self and disregarding the Word of God, disregarding the Bible or anything else. You see that? You see it? Look folks, if these eleven men had to believe that in their heart, now they heard it, and they said, I believe it, but when it comes to the practical appliance of it in their life, when it comes to doing it, what happens? They went off on their own, didn't they? Just like people are today. If they'd have really believed it, they would have said, when Jesus was crucified, they would have said, alright fellas, we've got three days and three nights and he'll be back. No need for us to get excited, no need for us to go out again, go back fishing, or go back to the old life. We are going to wait till he comes, right? Now let me show you the difference. What did they do when Jesus was put on the cross? Did they scatter? Did they? Every one of them did, just like he said he would, didn't he? What did they do though after he appeared to them after the resurrection? Did they ever scatter again? No, because they really believed it then, didn't they? Right? See folks, it just goes to show this, no matter what a man says he believes, or what he thinks, until God performs something in him, he'll be the same old man no matter what he is, or what he thinks he is, or what he says he is. You see that? Now Jesus told them about these things and they said yes we believe it we understand it now we really believe it and Jesus said do you really believe it because the hour is here and it's coming when every one of you is going to scatter not according to what I said but you're going to go off on your own thing. Believe in what you want to believe and do what you want to do. that's what we got today that's what we got this morning all over this town all over this country people are going off running off here and there to what they believe on their own disregarding what the Bible said disregarding what Jesus said and that's exactly what they're doing all right look at here now show you something else in here that's uh you might apply this Jesus said this you might apply this to yourself He said, you're going to leave me, every one of you, but I won't be alone because the Father will be with me. Now you take it like this, you apply that to you. If the world does leave you, if everybody turns against you, you're still not alone if you're saved because he said, I'll never leave you nor forsake you, right? And if the whole world leaves you, you still got the majority because you and God are the majority. Right? So what difference does it make if you're saved and you intend to live for God what difference does it make what people say about you or do to you or anything else. Okay now look at look at this uh the next verse verse 33 this will conclude this chapter and I'll move right on into chapter 17 and get a little bit of that covered. Verse 33, These things have I spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. Now you'll notice there are two things mentioned here. Jesus said I've spoken these things, that number one, in me. Okay? And the reference there is to himself, Jesus. He said in me, what are you going to have? What does Jesus offer every man? Peace, okay? He said in me you're going to have peace. But, he said in something else. There's something else mentioned there. In the world. In the world. In the world, what are you going to have? all right we're in christ but we're in the world geographically we're still in the world until we leave this world by death all right so he said in me you're going to have peace that's a promise that's a promise that god made of course i'll talk about some more that who he made it to in just a moment but he said in me you'll have peace but in the world you shall have tribulation didn't say you probably are going to or you might or there's a great chance of it, or it could be, or some of you will, he says, in me, definite distinction of that, you will have tribulation in the world. Because the world doesn't believe in Jesus, the world is not godly, the world is ungodly, the world doesn't love Jesus, the world doesn't love the church, the world doesn't love the word of God, and he said because of that, they're going to give you trouble. But, notice the conjunction there. but be of good cheer but even though if you got this you're gonna have this but be of good cheer because why I have overcome the world And we've already discussed all that in the book of revelations, but I won't get off into that right now. But I will show you something about this. Didn't we understand this? That getting saved doesn't always get you out of trouble, does it? As a matter of fact, getting saved a lot of times gets you in trouble with this world, doesn't it? But folks, you've got to remember this. When you get saved, the devil can't damn you, so what's he gonna try to do? Try to ruin you, right? all right now here's the thing about it if the devil sees you right here and you're running along life's course and life's road and the devil knows that prosperity or success will turn you from God he'll let you have he'll let you have prosperity and let you have success but you look at that thing this morning you look at it like this i don't know if there's any lost people here or not but you look at it like this this morning if you're saved what would you exchange to go to hell Now if somebody comes up to you this morning and says look here, I understand you're a Christian. Now if you're a slave, I know you're eternal. I'm just going to use something here to show you something. If the devil comes up to you this morning and says look here, I understand you're a slave. I'll tell you what I'll do. I would like to give you a million dollar mansion. I would like to give you about four or five $20,000 automobiles. I'd like to give you all the money that you could spend from now the rest of your life. lets you have a jet plane to travel everywhere. Anything that this world has, I offer it to you on a silver platter free of charge, only one condition. You say, what is it? When you die, your soul is mine. Now you see that? Now Jesus said, what will a man give in exchange for his soul? And you know the sad thing about that is the world is selling out cheap. You know, you could almost understand a man, in a sense, giving up his soul for something like that, but for a man to sell his soul for a bottle of liquor, or a woman, or some of these other little things that men are selling out for today. You know? I mean, that's what really gets to you. Jesus said, I've overcome the world. Alright, the world's going to cause us trouble. But he said, don't worry about that, I've took care of that too. See, the world today, they're having a good time. They're living it up. It's theirs. Everything here belongs to the unsaved world. This world today belongs to the unsaved world. Somebody wrote a song one time and said, he's got the whole world in his hands. Who's he talking about? He weren't talking about God. There's nowhere in this Bible where it says God's got this whole world in his hands. The Bible said the devil is the God of this world and the prince of this world. The devil holds this world in his hands this morning. Not God. But Jesus said I've overcome that. So if he's overcome that and we're in him, what does that mean to us? We're overcome too, right? Alright, now I want to take you in chapter 17. Now chapter 17 is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible. in this area as far as prayer. Now what it is, what chapter 17 is, it's the night before the cross and no doubt probably it's a I may miss this within an hour and a half but it's somewhere now between 1030 and 12 o'clock Tuesday night when John chapter 17 begins. When Jesus enters into the garden So, and it's called, if you got a Schofield Bible, it's called the prayer of intercession, and that's what it is. And I'll show you why it's called that in just a minute. I'll show you, give you something on that. Now folks, you know, you've heard folks say, well, the Lord's Prayer. We say the Lord's Prayer. I made some mention of this last week, and it's found over in Matthew chapter 6, and I forget the verse. But I don't, let me turn back there just a minute. I'm going to show you a difference now. And what the world says, the Lord's Prayer, and what the Lord's Prayer is and show you why there's a difference. So take your Bible and go back to Matthew chapter 6 and I want you to read that Lord's Prayer. Now I made some mention of this last week. I didn't discuss it all in great depth but I'm going to just say a few things more about it this morning. In Matthew chapter 6 and verse 9 I'll show you the difference and what the world said the Lord's Prayer and the Lord's Prayer that's recording in John chapter 17. Now let me read it and I want to show you something in this and you pay close attention as we go through this. Jesus said in Matthew 6 verse 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them from your father north what things ye have need of before ye ask. Ask this manner, therefore pray ye. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen. How many of you have always heard that's the Lord's Prayer? How many believe it? No? That's the Disciples Prayer. Notice how he starts it off. How does he start it off? Huh? Our Father. Right? Alright. Did Jesus ever say Our Father? If he had said Our Father, what would that have meant? He was a sinner like any other man, wasn't he? Huh? He said this is the way you pray. Who did he say it to? The disciples, right? You pray our Father. It's a disciples prayer. It's a tribulation prayer for the coming of the millennial kingdom that he came the first time to set up. And Israel refused him so he didn't set it up yet. It's been put in a box or like this. He came to set up the kingdom. They refused him. So the kingdom is now set aside like this because in here is the church. Right? And when the church age is over, what's he going to do? He's going to pick it up here just like he came the first time to do. Okay? So that is the disciple's prayer. The Lord's prayer is in John chapter 17 and it's called a prayer of intercession. Now let me show you something, who it's for in that chapter. Chapter 1, verse 1, chapter 17. The Bible said, These words spake Jesus and said, Father, the hour is come okay the hour is come glorify thy son that thy son may also glorify thee now you'll notice there there's Jesus said the hour is come the hour there simply means the time most of the time you find that word in the Bible hour it's always a reference to time and the time had come The time for the purpose of Jesus coming into the world was about to be carried out. Now let me just stop right there and make that real clear. The reason Jesus came, now most folks will say he came for some reason, he came to heal, he came to raise the dead and all this, you know. But folks, Jesus had one specific reason for coming to the world. And I hope you know what that reason is, because I'm going to tell you, if you're mixed up in life, you get straight on it this morning. He came in this world to die. He didn't come to live. He didn't come to set an example either. Boy, that hits a lot of theology, don't it? He didn't come to heal, and he didn't come to set an example. Somebody said, I think we should follow Christ's example. Well, you ain't never followed Christ's example. How in the world can an unsaved man follow the example of a righteous man? How in the world can any man do anything that's right unless God makes it right in him? He can't. Alright, so the Bible says the hour has come glorify thy son and God glorified him on the cross and Jesus glorified God in the resurrection, right? there's a double thing there the father glorified the son and the son glorified the father all right look at verse 2 folks watch this as thou has given him power over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him and notice that word to as many now who is he talking about there Notice that word there, to as many, as many who? Who is he talking about? The reference there is to the 11 disciples. Now let me show you, look up there at verse 8, same chapter verse 8. For I have given unto them, them who, the 11, the 11. Now folks, here's the way that thing works. Let me show you something that's doctrinal here that might help you understand the condition of the world today. When Jesus came down from heaven, he came in this world. He came in the world here. The world was something like it is now. There was all kinds of religions, right? There was Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, and all kinds of offspring of cults off of them. And they had took the law that they were supposed to have been going by and living under and had perverted it and changed it to fit their way of life. Right? We read really in the Bible, there was called the School of Prophets, but there was really only one man in the Bible that had any godliness about him before at the first coming of Christ and that was John the Baptist, right? What was the world like? There was nothing godly in this world. The world had been 400 years. 400 years and the world had heard nothing from God. And everybody had just gone off in their religious tandem and their own ungodly ways for 400 years. And Jesus came and he sent one man, John the Baptist, that was to be the forerunner of Jesus Christ. Let me show you what happened. Jesus came. here and he called out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 men and one of them was a devil so he had 11 left all right these 11 men here Jesus trained and commissioned right now you watch this now Jesus was fixing to leave Right? He was fixing to leave what was going to be left on this world for 50 days. The only mediator between God and man for 50 days was these 11 men. There weren't no Bible. There weren't no Holy Ghost. There were just 11 men. And Jesus prayed for these 11 men. Look folks, if the devil could have destroyed these 11 men, you'd be on the way to hell's monkey. We'd never know nothing about God. Right? And these men were the ones that Jesus had called and trained and prepared to pick this thing up after he left. After he said in Acts chapter 1, I believe in verse 8, he said, when the Holy Ghost has come, he'll give you power. God trained them and told them these things. But they had no power. They had nothing between the resurrection, or you might say 10 days after that. For 40 days, not even nothing. No teaching, no Bible, no Holy Ghost, no nothing. And Jesus asked God to take care of these 11 men until the Holy Ghost come. Now you see that. You see, the devil wouldn't give anything in the world to have got these 11 men. If he could have got these 11 men, I don't know what would have happened. I know several things I could say that might could have happened, but I don't know for sure. But notice the prayer here in this garden is for these 11 men. Now there's application meaning you can make that to us, but the context within itself is speaking of these 11 men. And Jesus said here, verse in verse 2 as thou has given them power over all flesh that he should give eternal life as to many as thou has given him now watch this now and This is life eternal that they may know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent now Folks let me show you something here Let me just show you this morning. We can settle this thing of life eternal or save forever this morning right here. If there's any doubt about it in your mind or you've ever wondered, let me show it to you right now where you can be as clear on it as you want to be. The definition of life eternal is found right here. And look what it says. And this is life eternal. That they might know thee. Alright? the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. Then life eternal is one thing and it's to know Jesus Christ the true God. Right? That's what life eternal is. You know the reason many folks don't know they're eternally saved? Huh? They don't know the true God because He's the truth and He tells the truth. They know the false God that's told them a lie. Let me show you something. Verse of, let's see, 1st John. 1st John, go back there just for a minute. 1st John, 1st John chapter 5. Okay, 1st John is in the near the back of your Bible. With this fan I'm having a time finding it but I'm going to get it anyway. Alright 1 John chapter 5 and look at verse 20. Now folks you'll notice that the Bible here when it speaks about this thing about eternal life it doesn't say, it doesn't give any room for doubt, it doesn't give any room for guess, it doesn't give any room for wondering, it says no no no. Right? And look what it says, and we know, 1 John 5, 20, and we know that we are of God, we know that, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. That's verse 19. Now look at verse 20. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding that we may know Him, watch this, that is true, and we are in Him, that is true, even His Son, Jesus Christ, definition now, definition, This is the true God and eternal life. What is the true God and eternal life? Jesus Christ. There it is. The Bible definitely defines Jesus Christ as eternal life and the Bible says knowing Jesus Christ is eternal life. The Bible also says in Revelations that The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. If a man has the testimony of Jesus Christ in him, he has a spirit in him that tells him he's saved now, and that tells him he's saved a million years from now. And the reason folks go off wondering and hoping and doubting and thinking they're going to lose it, because the true God, they don't know him. I believe a man can be ignorant to a certain point. But I don't believe a man can be ignorant when it comes to knowing what God's done for him. And I've said this over and over again and I'll say it again. The greatest majority of these people that tell you you're not eternally saved, they're not eternally saved because they've never been saved and they know it. That's what the Bible says folks. I didn't say that's what the Bible says. Read it. It's in your Bible too. The Bible definitely defines life eternal as knowing Jesus Christ as the only true God. Notice, there's a true God, so that means there must be a false one too, aren't there? Okay? Verse 4. I have glorified thee on the earth, I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. Now you'll notice something here, Jesus said I've glorified thee on the earth and I've finished the work thou gavest me to do. Now on the cross when Jesus looked up to God and he said it's finished. What was he talking about there? He was talking about the atonement wasn't he? The payment for sin. When he said it's finished, he died. That means man's redemption was complete right? Our redemption was complete. When Jesus said it's finished folks, that means it was done. But he said here it's finished. What is he talking about here? Is he talking about that here? Was it complete here? No. But he says I finished the work which thou gavest me to do. What was the work that God gave him to do? Alright, here he's talking about he had been born in the world as a man. He had kept all the Old Testament. He kept the law and lived God's righteousness hadn't he? If he hadn't of what would have happened when he died? It would have been a grave day, wouldn't it? So, he says, I've finished the work which thou gavest me to do. Alright, look at verse 5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." Alright, now here's something that proves something that John 1.1 says. The Bible said in John 1.1, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Now John 1.1 is before Genesis 1.1. The Bible says in Genesis 1.1, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. John 1.1 is before that. And this is before Genesis 1.1. He says, with the glory I had with thee before the world was. Before God created this world. And I don't know how old this world is. They say it's millions of years old. I wouldn't say. I don't know. But we know it's been around quite a while. But, Jesus said before the world was, me and you had glory together and you glorify it now like it was then. And I'll show you something else in that verse too. Let me see. Verse 24. Look at verse 24. Same chapter. John 17, 24. Father, I will that they also whom Thou hast given me be with me where I am that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me for thou hast loveth me before the foundation of the world." Now what that verse says here folks is simply this, in eternity God's going to let me and you see this thing before it was in Genesis 1. We're going to see the universe and the glory of God as it was before God created this world. Look what it says. Let me read it once again, maybe it'll help you understand it. Father, I will that they, they who, the eleven, and all those that come after the eleven, also whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me, for thou lovest me before the foundation of the world. You see the reference there is the glory of God that those the disciples might see that as it was before God created this world Look at verse 6 I have manifest or may know what that means I have manifest thy name unto the men the 11 which thou gavest me out of the world and Thine they were, and thou givest them me, and they kept my word. Now your Schofield Bible's got a good note. If you've got an old Schofield Bible, look at the note on it. Schofield says that Jesus Christ is God's love gift to the world, and he was. And he says that believers, folks that are saved, are God's love gift back to Jesus Christ. That's a good note on that. All right, so the Bible says, I've made manifest, or I've made known, my name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world. Notice, notice folks, the Bible says that these men that God gave to Jesus came out of the world, didn't it? Jesus came in the world, okay? Here's the world populated full of people. Okay? And Jesus came in the middle of this thing for what? To get you out of it, didn't he? Because what happens if you stay in it? The whole world's God's wrath is aimed at the whole world, right? So Jesus knew that and he came down to get you out of it. And he says here that he came to get them out of the world. Now look at verse 7. I'm going to close here in just a minute now. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. The Bible says that these that he got out of the world knew that all things that Jesus had, all things that Jesus said came from God. Now look at verse 8 and I'm going to show you what makes the difference. Verse 8. For I have given unto them the great education they need to understand all the doctrines. That's what the colleges say, isn't it? What does the Bible say? You see folks, let me show you something here. I'm going to close on this verse this morning. Jesus came into the world And he said, Father, you took them out of the world. And here's the only thing I give them. I gave them... Huh? Folks, that's what gets you out of the world. Jesus said, I gave them your words. You know what the church needs to give the world this morning? Not entertainment. Not education. The words of God. That'll do it. That'll do it. Anything short of that won't do it. Look what Jesus said. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me. And they have received them and have known surely. They've known what surely? How did they know surely? By the words. You know the reason many folks don't know none of this is they're confused. They haven't had the words. They've been so entertained and so pitied and fall on so short they haven't had the words of God. That's what's the matter. That's the reason we live in an ignorant world. They don't know the words of God. Jesus said, I came and I give them the words that you gave me. Folks, let me tell you something. This morning, you know what we owe the world? We owe them the words of God. That's all we owe them. That's all. We don't owe them a big fat belly. We don't owe them a table full of groceries. We owe them the word of God. The modern thing today of Christianity is help your neighbor, feed him, clothe him. I'm not against that. That's not what we need so. I'd rather see him go to heaven naked than to go to hell dressed like a rich man. Right? The world don't need a full table and a basket of groceries and a bundle of clothes under the table from the church. The world this morning needs the words of God. That's what we need to give them. And that's all we need to give them. That'll do it. Now you see, it don't come out that way. It just don't work that way today though, does it? You know. I mean, that's just not the way the world looks at Christianity. Well, you're a Christian. You know, you're critical. You're negative. You don't have any love. You know, you don't try to help people. You know how Jesus helped these men? You know how he got them out of this world? That God's wrath was aimed at? He gave them the words, right? Isn't that what it says? For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. They believe that you sent me, why they believe it, because Gave them your words And let me get this other verse here because it goes right in with that I don't want to close it off here verse 9 I pray for them. Them who? The eleven. Jesus said, I pray for them. Because soon, I'm fixing to leave. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna leave. And in three days, I'll resurrect. For ten days. And then there'll be a forty day interval that these eleven men will be here, God. They'll be here with nothing. And I'm praying for them. Look, he said, for them. The eleven. Now watch this. I pray not for them. No, I pray for them. I pray not for the world. So I say we ought to pray for world peace. Where is that in the Bible? Who was this joker that went down to Miami the other week and said that, I forget who he was, and said he'd like to call all the churches together to pray for world peace? Nothing about world peace. Nothing about let us live together as brothers and sisters. Huh? I pray not for the world. But I'm praying for them. Right? Folks, you know something? For a person to say, let's ask God for world peace, you know, that's almost a prayer of the anti-Christ. You know what kind of prayer God would like to hear this morning? God, I pray you'll save so and so. God, I pray you will glorify your son in me. God, I pray you will come soon. That's the kind of prayer God likes to hear. God's not interested in no prayer that says, I pray God you will bring peace on the world. I'll tell you what's going to happen in this world. There's not, and I won't get this far tomorrow, I'll be discussing this some more later on. But there won't be no peace until there's righteousness And there won't be no righteousness until there's truth. And the truth is the one thing the world won't have. So the other way from that thing is, bigger guns, bigger ships, bigger wars are in the future. So I said the world's getting better? You better look around folks, you don't know this. The world's getting worse and it's going to get worse. It reaches a climax during tribulation. And then Jesus comes back and then it does get better. let me peace in because the Prince of Peace will be here and he'll rule it. But as long as man rules it, let me tell you something, it's going to get worse and worse and worse because it's on the straight decline with man. A man told us last week, he said, your trouble is you don't find the good in the world. I said, I know the good in the world. Everybody that's saved has some good in them because they've got Jesus in them. Everybody else is no good and have no good in them and they'll do no good. All right, I'm gonna close it off there this morning because time's just about up. But folks, we'll pick it up next week in verse 10. Verse 10. You read the rest of that chapter. Pick it up in verse 10. All right, now, we're gonna take about a 10-minute break. All you kids get settled down, get straightened. I know it's hot in here. You can tell, see? But listen, it's hot, it's uncomfortable, but it'll be all right. It'll be alright. We're here for a reason. It ain't hard as hell. We ain't going there always. Okay? Now, let me just stop right there while I got a few minutes. Within the next Sunday or two, we hope to be out of here. We hope to be in the building by the fire station. I talked to the man last week, and as far as I know now, either two weeks from today or the following Sunday, we'll be over there. We'll have enough room. We've got a big building over there that's probably can seat two or three hundred people. And that'll be a lot better. We'll be able to put us a sign and I think then we'll go out there and we'll have something, you know, well look, we'll be at another place, you know, you got somewhere to tell them, you know. So I think that's gonna make a great deal. We're glad to have all of you. You've been real attentive and we got another hour and a half to go yet, but it's better yet, so hang in there. It'll be all right, okay. Alright, let's pray and we'll be dismissed. Now, if you need anything, just ask somebody. The bathroom's here, and water, and everything. So if you need anything, just ask somebody, okay? Father, this morning, we thank you for Jesus. Lord, we thank you for all your blessings of this day. Now, God, I ask you to go with us, guide us, and direct us, and lead us in the paths of righteousness. God, I pray you'll bless everything this morning to your glory. God, I pray you'll save those that are unsaved, strengthen those that need strengthening. According to your word. Thank you once again for the blessing this day go with us now in Jesus name. I pray amen Huh
