Remember, that's 804-744-8881. List go together now into that service that's already in progress and the power of God is moving John chapter 1 verse one says in the beginning was the word is interesting that after you've read about all the names of God in the Old Testament in Psalm 138 into it says he has magnified his word above all, his name so John picked up on that. John chapter 1 verse one says in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God in the word was God the same was in the beginning with God. It all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

We build his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth. He saying before the earth was without form and void.

He inhabited eternity he say he was the true light of eternity before the command went forth, let there be light.

He was the ancient of days before the evening and the morning were the first day he was the bright and morning star ages before the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy. He was the rock of ages before the mountain tops raised their rocky peaks and clap their hands with glee.

He was the water of life before the firmament was made to divide the waters.

He was the of life before the brawl for its first golden grain and all we need everything that we need and what have we made is capital E you Jesus somebody sound is not a sound is not sound his name is John Sally. Have you been all my business or the name of Jesus. There is in this world of ours marks crime. There is a desire to find an answer to life's perplexing questions last year for the million people starved to death in Third World countries as I speak to you this morning little babies are dying in their mother's arms because one count of three children in those countries will die before they reach the age of three what is the greatest need in our world.

Is it food for starving mold here in America and how many of you know, America has been blessed as no other nation but America as many as 3 million people are living on the streets. One of the things that amazed me about our own community is that when we would go into the school to minister to the children and their families. Every principal that we met said the same thing. We have children that are attending this school who live in the car with her family.

They don't even have a house to live in right here. So what's the greatest need that we have is it a shelter for the homeless back in 1981 age was first discovered, but today our country alone.

Millions of people are walking the streets carrying in their body on death sentence called a what is the greatest. Is it a cure for AIDS since 1973 when we as a nation decided to legalize abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy, we have succeeded in murdering millions of babies and some of the most horrible way imaginable. What is the greatest need that we have in this country is it to stop abortion.

Recently a survey of young people between the ages of 12 and 18 revealed that one out of every eight to suicide 23 million people. The experts tell us our walking the streets of American cities and they are severely depressed.

What the greatest need of the hour. It is my belief that the greatest movie of this power is not a thing but a process is not Jason's style from C hello someone I want you to turn with me to Psalm 23. Because believe it or not this song is all about Jesus the Lord is my shepherd, I went to Sunday school class one time and little children even preschool age could quote Psalm 23 because I ask myself, what is your favorite passage of Scripture and the consensus was Psalm 23 I citizen or anybody here that can quote Psalm 23 and one little beautiful blue-eyed girl stood up and put her hands on. She's five years old and she started out like you. She says the Lord is my shepherd and he's all I want.

I said you go girl.

The lot is my shepherd.

David said he's all I need is everything I need and I believe he could've said he's all I will. He said he makes me to lie down in green pastures. I shall not want for rest. This is a troubled world.

Everywhere you look it's chaos and confusion and in the midst of it.

The Lord said, I'm going to call you to be able to line down and to rest. Hallelujah, the law is my shepherd, I shall not want. Because he deleted me beside the still waters. Now what he's saying is I shall not want for refreshment. How many of you have found your sale in a situation where you felt like you were dry and parched and you could get into the presence of the Lord, and he would refresher so anybody know the Lord is my shepherd, and he restores my soul.

I have a news bulletin come from Fox.

It didn't come from CNN. It came right out of the word of God and here it is Friday is now on file with the child of God and somebody this morning came here to risk tolerance. Somebody shouted I shall not want for guidance because he leads me in paths of righteousness for his namesake. The Bible says these are the words of Jesus. He said when I put my seatbelt. I go before them and I call them by name. Think about this. The Lord knows your name.

You know his name but he knows your name.

So when he puts you out, he says, come on Ray, this is the way to go. Come on Charles, this is how we do it couple follow me every time I put up my pickup, my foot you put your foot right out of my footprint and you follow me and couple Pastor Eric and couple Pastor said and couple Pastor Rick and couple and he called you by your name this devil will call you by Dorsey people say, you adulterer, come on over here you phone Decatur drug abuser, the lack you liar doesn't even know your name. But when the law looks at you see she wants to be as black says I know your name special treasure to make reasonable and then he says gay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me.

What does God do for you when you are fearful, God will give you courage he'll give you a spy he'll give you a backbone. He'll give you holy boldness. The Bible says the righteous are as bold as a line, for courage, for comfort for thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Now, how could you be comforted by staff that is that's a walking stick to what I'm talking.

Let's let this be a stay.

Every shepherd now. Sometimes what they would do just booth is like different if the sheep got off somewhere and and got in trouble and the shepherd couldn't reach it with his hand. He could use that staff there was a crooked misstep and he could reach down there and act with and and and so when I see Saul that the shepherd had Stephanie sent in his mind, he said, with fiber get in trouble. I hope he'll get me out of trouble and and and and sometimes though what he did is he used it as a weapon thing and sometimes they would be a wolf after somewhere and this sheet would hear the sound of that wolf and their eyes would turn toward the ship, and if they saw the shepherd was all watch with his staff. They want word.

They look first for the shepherd.

What do you do when you hear the enemy do you push the panic button did you go into a tailspin argue look for the shepherd like me eating grass and all of a sudden I hear. Don't look in the direction of the line. They look in the direction of the shepherd, and as long as the shepherd is standing by with the rock. They're not worried what he would do. Sometimes he would intentionally wait. Some of you have wondered why the world, the Lord showed up. He's waiting he's waiting and he has a plan in mind, and as soon as the enemy gets in striking distance just before he gets to you.

This shepherd steps between you and your enemy. Watch out now and what is with Ron he brings it down across the back of your enemy breaks his back and he picks you up in his arms and takes you back to the safety of the full eyes shall not for protection. Shepherd's own God because he said I'm either asleep nor some close by because he said I will not leave you and I will not praise God, not just a little bit. Once this you prepare a table before me in the presence of my right in the middle of your enemies gone will set up a banquet table and tell you to put your number tends on the table and eat until you are full and running over, will somebody that I shall not want. Because he anoints my oil oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. He promised me power, power, you got you got Holy Ghost you know what it's called in Scripture.

Do not miss it.

These divine enablement. It's the word from which we have derived the word dynamite tell somebody I got Holy Ghost might now granted some of your fuses with but you still got the dynamite today when you leave for your convenience, we have a police officer and he will stop traffic so you can get so don't backslide, we're going to get you out of here so much on getting another traffic jam my little Rachel kicking when you get out there. You'll see that the police officer will stand in traffic and hold up his hand.

Now don't you try to do that because if you try to do it. They'll be nothing more than a greasy spot in the road you know why because you don't have the authority to do now that word in Scripture is also translated power and it's not the word must, but it's another word that simply means authority and that's where we get the word that's found in John one 1112 he gave to those who believe on his name, the right of the authority to be sons of God. So you have the right to call your cell a son of God, and that's what the bandages the badge is that power or authority that says, backed up by the government of Chesterfield, the municipality and there they have given to me and vested in me.

This authority that I can stand in the middle of the road and hold up my hand. So if you can see the badge here. He's got another one on. He's got a beautiful it tells you he is an officer of the law and you must stop when he raises his hand. But suppose you're one of those people that has no regard for the law and you say I'm in a hurry and I can't wait.

The fried chicken is calling my name down at KFC got to get down there and turn left and go to KFC and I can't wait for these trucks spoke to get out.

If I do get ahead of me and I'll have to stand in line and wait only got the big and the man says I'm not going to stop well with the police officer sees that you did not recognize his authority. He did not stop and say I guess I'll have to get out of the road because even though he's got authoritative preaching better than you let he's got something else. It's a 9 mm might do the mess. The lots are asked to shout over some you know what I'm talking about. God says I just recognize my got some Holy Ghost three. I never said I've got the anointing so I've got over them. Then he said, my cup runs over. That means I've got Joy some of you look like you were called for, and you could get here, you got here and how does it were me, you act like you just came from your best friend to and you came here. This is a sacred play can't be because this is the sanctuary. Yes sanctuary, not the mortuary body, but the battle and there's some focusing and not victory, but there's something to go to church and there's so afraid they're going make some noise and offend somebody there. So afraid to clap their hands different in the wake of the person next. We're not a dead dry church, where home furniture because Jesus is alive. I believe that it happens the praises of his people watching us right now you see is still the Jesus is everything Jesus is all.

This is why Jesus is the greatest of the red number one. He is the son of God.

He is the sick was when he came to this earth came to seek and to save that which was lost.

He called himself the son of man is because he represented the entire human race, but the Son of Man became the son of God, so that sons of men could eventually become sons of God when he was with us and among us on this earth.

He was fully God and it was fully met. It was Simon Peter that identified him, thou art the Christ, the son of the living God you believe is God save me now John said in chapter 20 verse 31 of this is looking back over everything that is written, the gospel John he said, but these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ the son of God and that believing you might have life through his name would you tell your neighbor neighbor Jesus is the son of God.

John the Baptist said I have seen and testify that this is the son of God. Paul writing Romans 146 is declared to be the son of God with power according to the spirit of wholeness or Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the day.

So the reason he still the answer is because of his wonderful love. First John for not intended. This was manifested love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten son into the world that we might live through him. His love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his son to be a propitiation or substitute for RCI breaking of the program right now to pray with you.
