Welcome to Healing Scars with Pastor Burton,
the official podcast of Cross -Christian Fellowship,
Route 66, in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
where Burton is the lead pastor. We're glad you're
here. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this
time together. We thank you for this time in
praise and worship, time in fellowship that we
get. We ask for your healing hands. We know we
have people here that have been sick. Those are
suffering. Those have other illnesses and issues.
whatnot that are bothering them, different health
issues. So we ask that you place your healing
hands on them as a great physician and heal them
from the top of their heads to the bottoms of
their feet. Place them in front of the right
people, the right professionals that are guided
by you to affect this healing as well. Also for
our people who aren't here, such as the Deaver
family who are working. The Balloon Fiesta and
our people that are out and about all over the
place, we ask for a hedge of protection over
them as well. And really all over our city, as
we know, this week especially has been an incredibly
busy week for our first responders going out
and dealing with various issues, as well as the
elements that have moved in with the wind and
the rains that have been coming and going. So
we ask for a hedge of protection over everybody
that's out there and having to brave these elements
as well. And please guide all of us to safety
and protect all of us as we go out from here
after your message. In Jesus' name, amen. All
right, so... I'll pull my notes here, a little
small. There we go. Do you ever find yourself
questioning whether or not you're good enough
for God? You know, maybe you aren't enough for
him to save. You know, or maybe... It's that
others are worth saving, but you're just not.
And, you know, maybe it's a matter of God's redeeming
grace. It's just not a gift that you're worthy
of. It's a gift that you don't think you can
accept. And, you know, if we're honest with ourselves,
there's times that we all feel like this way.
We all have these issues that come up in our
lives, right? And we kind of feel like, you know,
we all seen Wayne's World and Wayne and Garth,
and they drop down and, you know, I'm not worthy.
I'm not. worthy, right? And we all kind of feel
like that sometimes. But the fact of the matter
is, is you are worthy. You know, we're not unlike
Paul. We developed a mentality much like Paul
in Romans 7 verse 15. And he implores the Lord,
and he says, for what I am doing I do not understand,
for what I will do that I do not practice, but
what I hate that I do. Right? It's basically
saying, hey, why is it that I keep doing the
things I know I shouldn't do and I keep going
back to them, but the things I know I should
be doing, I just don't. Does that sound familiar
to anybody? Yeah? I'm not alone. Good. I hate
when I'm on an island. Unless it's a nice sunny
one and I'm on vacation sitting on a beach, you
know, with a root beer in my hand. You know?
That hasn't happened for a long, long time. But,
you know, it's that daily struggle we all face.
You know, it's that struggle with sin. It's that
struggle with our earthly desires that are constantly
coming back. It's that cross that we have to
pick up and bear and drag with us every step
of the day, every day, right? You know, and it's
an internal struggle because it's a struggle
between our soul and our flesh. Our flesh doesn't
care. Our flesh isn't going to heaven with us.
Whereas our soul is trying to reconnect to the
Father. It's trying to get there. So it makes
this turmoil within us. You know, our body, it
knows it's on a finite schedule. So it very much
has that attitude. If it feels good, do it. I
only have so much time, so I want to do it. And
I want to do it all. Whereas our soul, that's
infinite. It goes to the Heavenly Father, right?
If we believe, it's like, no, this isn't right.
This is a cancer to me. I can't, no, I need to
cut this out. So it's an issue. It's hard. And
what we need to do is we need to be like Paul.
We need to remember, we need to take these issues
to the Lord. We need to bear them out there for
him. And remember, we don't have to go it alone.
You know, we talked a little bit about this last
week. We don't have to be left to our own devices
to just pick up and go. Matter of fact, that's
not what God wants. God wants us to go to him,
right? Wants us to go to Jesus. Lord, help me.
And when we take it to him, we put it at his
feet. We don't just kind of like the... The old
gag, like here's a dollar and there's a string
and we walk off and we just tug that string back,
right? And pull it back with us. Y 'all know
what I'm talking about? Some of us do. I know
you grew up in England. They probably have like
tokens or something over there. I don't know.
But still, you know, that's how we are though.
We like to go, we're like, you know what? Here's
my sin. I'm going to put it down here and then
I'm going to walk away and I'm going to just
pull that rope. And I'm going to jerk it right
back over because I'm not really ready to give
it up yet. And we keep pocketing with us. When
we take it to the Lord and we give it to him,
we don't just give it to him. We take that rope,
we cut it, or we just give that to him as well.
Like, nope, no more. Personally, I say give him
the rope because those of us that know we have
a rope, we're probably going to hang ourselves
with it, right? We're going to do something stupid.
That's what we do. We're like, ooh, there's another
sand. Let me tie off onto that. That's just the
way we work. It's part of our human nature. We
have to remember that it's not about us because
within our willpower, we're going to fail. We're
going to fail miserably, spectacularly. It's
going to be brutal when we hit rock bottom. Instead,
it's about Jesus, leaning into him, trusting
in him, asking him to guide us, following him
as our good shepherd. We are the sheep. Now on
that note, that's going to take us in the heart
of our message today. So we're going to flip
over one more chapter. We're going to go to Romans
8. We're going to pick up where we left off last
week. So Romans 8, verses 31 through 39. So Romans
8, verses 31 through 39. All right, and the word
says, I'll look down here a little easier for
me to see. What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us? Who,
excuse me, he who did not spare his own son,
but delivered him up for us all. How shall he
not with him also freely give us all things?
Who shall bring a charge against God's elect?
It is God who justifies. It is he who condemns.
It is Christ who died and furthermore is also
risen, who is even at the right hand of God,
who also makes intercession for us. Who shall
separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation
or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness
or peril or sword? As it is written, for your
sake we are killed all day long. We are accounted
as sheep for the slaughter. Yet in these things
we are more like conquerors through him who loved
us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor
life nor angels nor principalities nor powers
nor things present nor things to come nor height
nor depth nor any other created thing Shall be
able to separate us from the love of God, which
is in Jesus Christ our Lord. The last part of
verse 31 there. I'll just pull it up here. Last
part of verse 31 there. It's often used as a
rally cry, isn't it? I hear a lot of pastors
like to use that as a rally cry. A lot of motivational
speakers. Not to talk down, because there's a
lot of people that are not really pastors, normally
more so motivation speakers. They can do a good
job though, right? And they'll still use this
as a bit of a rally cry. It likes to fire people
up, you know? It's one of those things, it's
like, hey, you have power. But the way it's interpreted
is like, you have power over the world. And then
going into verse 32, God's freely going to give
us all things, right? So that's what it says,
but that's also taken out of context. Because
none of us, not one of us, has God's power over
the world. If we did, we wouldn't need him. It
would negate the whole purpose of us going to
him and negate the whole purpose of us being
filled with the Holy Spirit. You know who has
the power? He that's in you, right? The Holy
Spirit, Jesus, God. That's where the power is.
We go to him. Without him, we have nothing. We
are. I said, it's he that is in you who has the
power. He, he's for you. And through him, that's
when we can start to do things because we go
to him and we ask for things in accordance with
his will. That's the big thing. It's in accordance
with his will. God's not just going to give us
something because we desire it, right? Go out
there and I look at my beat up car. Like, you
know what? Oh, a new car. Lord, give me a car.
Boom, new car. Nope, doesn't work that way. Not
in his will. Right? Last week I talked about
that. You had the prayer with Colonel Helen Moore,
you know, in the movie, We Were Soldiers. You
know, and it starts off good and it gets to the
end. And then he digresses and goes, and Lord,
forget their hidden prayers and let us blow every
single one of them away. Oh, wait a minute, that's
not in his will? Hmm. So he's not just going
to give you anything and everything just because
you ask for it. The part that they take away,
the context that's there is in his will. You
know, he's not just going to give us anything
just because we want to. It'd be silly if he
did. It would be utterly silly. It's like lighting
a child on fire because they want to be the human
torch for Halloween. How much sense does that
make? Not a whole lot. God's not going to do
things, A, that are meant to harm us, and two,
he's not going to do things that go against his
character. He just won't. So we're going to look
at the first few verses here as we go through,
and we're going to look at that context as well.
I thought I had a slide here. I guess I do not.
Oops. That's okay. Scroll back and pull that
up. So basically what we're looking at, the first
four verses, 31 through 34 here, okay? And what
they're saying is, God, he loves you deeply.
He loves you so much, in fact, that he sacrificed
his son, right? He sent Jesus to come, live a
perfect, sinless life, and then take on our sin.
your sin, my sin, everyone's sin, to the cross.
To go through a sham of a trial, to be embarrassed
and ridiculed and put down and slammed and tortured
and ultimately put to death. For us. For you.
For everyone. For all the wrongs that we've done
in our life. No big, it doesn't matter how big
they are. It doesn't matter how small they are.
You know, matter of fact, let's frame that. Let's
put that in perspective. Adam and Eve, they ate
the fruit. One small sin. And what happened?
That's right, Twinkie. They lost paradise. Lost
paradise. Go to Saul. One small sin. What did
it cost him? A kingdom. The whole point. It doesn't
matter how big or how small it is. The punishment
is going to be heavy. And those are small examples
of what it will cost us if we don't believe and
we don't give ourselves over to Jesus as our
Lord and Savior. They're huge. Huge punishments.
Why are they so big? When you think of it this
way, why can't we see God right now? What's that?
We'd be dead. That's right. Because God and sin
cannot exist in the exact same place. It just
can't happen. Anywhere God goes, if there is
sin there, it is smited. It is like it never
existed. It is gone. Faster than a blink of an
eye. You think about that now. The sin that we
still carry, the way we turn away from him, the
things that we want to do. I mean, I was at work
the other day. I had to write up a report. I
asked one of the dispatchers, hey, can I borrow
a pen? I left mine on my bus. Yeah, no problem.
Here you go. I get done with my paperwork. I
file my paperwork. I get all the way back to
my car. It's like, oops. I still got their pen.
Now I clicked and I took it back, but how often
has any of us asked someone for something as
silly as a pen or a post -it note and then walked
right out the door and didn't even give it a
second thought and then later on we're like,
where did this come from? Did we not just sin?
Even the thought of like, you know what, do I
really want to keep this or do I want to take
it back? Guess what? Now you're thinking about
it. Now you're willingly sinning. Growing up,
how many of us were perfect children listening
to everything that our parents said? Lord, don't
strike her down right now, please. No, none of
us, though. None of us. Every single one of us
misbehaved, didn't do what we're supposed to,
and broke the law of Moses, right? The same law
Jesus himself said he didn't come to abolish.
That's why we don't get to see God right now.
Because if we did, it wouldn't end well, not
for any of us, not a single one of us. You know,
it would completely decimate us. And since it's
in us, that means we'd be destroyed. Since it's
in us, we'd be destroyed. Jesus came and died
so that we'd be covered in his blood. And therefore,
we'd be able to be reunited with the Father.
See, it gets hung up. God will give you what
you ask for. What does the word tell us? What
does the word teach us about our rewards? That
they're stored up in heaven, right? Where rust
cannot destroy and moss cannot destroy and all
that. We've gone through that. We've all heard
this. It's like, yeah, we'll have some blessings
here, but where are our best blessings going
to be at up there? I don't know about you, but...
If all my blessings came to me right now, I wouldn't
want to go to heaven because I'd be leaving it
all behind every single little bit. What would
the point of going to heaven be at that point?
Oh, God's there. Oh, I got my rewards. Oh, well,
guess what? That's human nature, right? That's
how we look at it. That's what we revert back
to every single time. So instead, our true rewards
are waiting for us. and wait. The gifts, the
things that we ask God for, he's going to give
us so much better. The word tells us that, and
it's all going to be waiting for us there. But
it's a painstaking process. It's a painstaking
process in love. And Jesus bore that pain and
separation from the Father when he took on our
sin. You think that when he was at the cross,
when he was on the cross, what did he say? Father,
why have you forsaken me? Why? He'd been connected
to the Father from the very beginning. For all
time. But as soon as he went up on that cross
and he took on our sin, he was separated. Even
for a brief moment. And how painful that was
for him. And he did that for us. The ultimate
love. The ultimate love. I said, sometimes we
wonder, am I worthy? You are worthy. God sees
you. Jesus sees you as worthy. You are loved.
And because he shed his blood, as long as you
accept him as your Lord and Savior, and you take
your sin to him, and you do everything you can
to repent of it, guess what? You're saved. You're
redeemed. The price has been paid. When we look
at verse 34 here. Sometimes it's still hard to
get caught up. It's like, Jesus is going to condemn
me. Why would Jesus go through everything that
he did just to condemn you? Like, you know what?
I went and I took all that on, but you still
messed up. So guess what? You're out of here.
See yourself at the door. Don't let it hit you
where I made that crack. That's not how it works.
He won't turn us away. It just doesn't make sense.
He came to earth on the ultimate rescue mission.
That's one of the things about a lot of military
movies even, right? A lot of them have a rescue
mission. We love rescue missions. Someone's going
to get saved. There's going to be lots of action,
right? Things are going to be going boom, right?
Or you're going to get that secret squirrel like
Mission Impossible status where they're going
on cables and crawling through ceilings and ducks
and stuff, right? But it's exciting. The Bible's
exciting. It is the ultimate rescue mission.
Jesus came here on the ultimate rescue mission
for each and every one of us, for every one of
our souls. Not only that, not only did he come
to save us for sin, but what it's showing us
here is that he intercedes for us in heaven.
He's up there right now interceding on our behalf.
Representing every single one of us. While Satan's
trying to pick us apart and be like, oh, but
look at what he did and look at what she did.
And they did this and on that date and on that
date. Oh, and look what happened with this. While
he's picking us apart, it's like drip, drip,
drip, drip. Covered. Paid. What's the price of
a life to begin with? Last I checked, there's
not a single life on this planet that has a price
on it. They're all priceless. No matter who you
are, no matter where you come from or what your
story is, every single life is priceless. And
Jesus sees it the same way. So every drop of
blood that poured out. How many of you all have
seen Star Trek? Yeah, right? What was it? Two,
they're at the con, right? That's when where
Spock died. What's he tell Kirk? Because the
whole thing is like the one life for the many.
What does he say? My life for yours. The Bible
tells us about that. Right? No greater love than
to sacrifice one's own life for the many. We
see that a lot. Jesus' life for the many, for
all time. God doesn't see us as being imperfect.
Instead, he sees his Holy Spirit in us. He sees
the blood of Christ upon us. And because of that,
he therefore sees perfection in his own eyes.
He sees Jesus. He sees love. Our sin and guilt
removed and washed clean. From the moment that
we accept Jesus and profess him as our Lord and
Savior. Moving into verses 35 and 36. Aha, I
do have a slide for that one. We need to recognize
that Paul, when he was writing to the church,
in a way, he was prophesying. He might not have
even necessarily known it. Because when he was
writing to the church, he was writing about things
that the church would soon be having to deal
with. He was writing out the hypothetical that
soon became reality. You look at that. Tribulation,
distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril,
the sword. The fact that we have to die to ourselves,
right? Every day, die to our sin. Every day,
pick up our cross and carry it. Today, the church,
Christians around the world are still facing
The same things, are they not? Some countries
more so than others. You look at China. Yeah,
Christians, they load up in a train. They travel
for hours just to get to a place by a certain
time. And hopefully they're on time because if
they're not, then they're locked out. They miss
out. But then they go on, they sit in a room
in secret and they wait until a certain hour
to be released from it. They take the scripture
and they memorize it piece by piece. And when
they're done, They destroy it. It's gone. Because
if they get caught with it, jail, very well their
life. Kind of take that for granted here, don't
we? Same thing, the first time I heard of something
like that was I was in the Mexico Military Institute.
I was still in school. And we had a student that
came over. Their father was a pilot there from
Iran. Same thing, telling us. How nice it was
to be able to go to church and be able to sit
down and hear the word and not have to fear and
be able to talk to others and not have to fear.
Because where they went, they went out into the
desert to a specific place. If they weren't there
on time and they missed out, they were there
on time. They went down into this bunker for
the day. These doors at the specified time are
closed. There are people outside that would.
rake the sand and everything over it so it would
be camouflaged, nobody could see it, and they
wouldn't be able to get out until nightfall.
I know Brian's pretty, but I don't want to be
stuck in a room with him until nightfall necessarily.
I love you, man. We've got better things to do,
but we take that kind of stuff for granted here
in the U .S., don't we? A lot of countries, we
take that kind of stuff for granted. But even
here in the U .S., we still see martyrs. We still
see things happening. You could call it political
assassination. You could call it what you want.
Charlie Kirk is not the only Christian that's
been killed for his beliefs. Contrary to what
the press might have you believe, if you actually
take a look at how often and how more frequently
it's happening when churches are being attacked.
It's just a few months ago. I think it was Minnesota.
One of the pastors was running late and just
happened to see a guy in a truck pulling in with
an arsenal of weapons. He got out with his rifle.
The guy got out with his rifle. I want to say
it was something. He went to go and hurt and
kill people. And this guy put him, this pastor
put him down while waiting for the security guard
to even get out there. They were under attack.
Our churches are under attack. The body is under
attack. That attack just varies in its methods
from one place to another. Why is that? Well,
the world is trying to force us out. The world
does not want us here. Why does the world not
want us here? Well, the world is not godly. The
world is ruled over by Satan, right? Satan is
referred to as the prince of this world. We like
to say, oh, it's God, it's God. No, right now
it's Satan. Satan has control. Satan's trying
to push us out. He's doing anything and everything
in his power to get us to take our eyes off of
Jesus and to turn away from him and walk the
other direction. Doesn't matter if we know the
word, as long as we're not applying it to our
life, just turn away and walk. It's okay. And
much like a politician, lots of empty promises
to come. I will give you the world. Yet we're
still going to face hardships, trials, tribulations,
lies imparted by Satan and his various ministers,
people that they've confused and twisted up,
tricked into believing them. However, as believers,
as long as we don't give in to that, we keep
going to Christ over and over again. We keep
talking to him that's in us, right? The Holy
Spirit. Praying and doing the best that we can.
There's not a thing that they can do that can
take us away from the love of Jesus Christ. Not
a single thing. Jesus loves us no matter what
the pain and the suffering that we will endure
here. should serve as nothing more than a guiding
light to him, to his kingdom. And therefore,
he's able to work through us to bring other people,
right? Because when we go and we love him more
and more, we have that deeper relationship every
single day. We can go to people, we say, hey,
Jesus did this for me. He can do this for you
too. You're suffering with alcohol. You're suffering
with drugs. You're suffering with prostitution
or gambling or whatever it is. He can take care
of you. He can heal you. He can fix you when
he loves you enough. He'd be more than happy
to do it. Looking at the last few verses here.
It talks about powers, right? Nor angels or principalities
or powers. We're powers. Anybody know? They're
those unseen things that are being done by Satan
and his ministers. Specifically Satan and his
demons. This is also mentioned in Ephesians chapter
6 verse 12. Ephesians 6 verse 12, the word says,
for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, and
against the rulers of darkness in this age. Ooh,
powers. Against spiritual hosts of wickedness
in the heavenly places. The spiritual war. That
battle of the immortals for our souls, right?
God and his angels versus Satan and his demons.
Those. Broken, evil, fallen creatures whose sole
purpose of existence has been to turn people
away from the light and life that is Jesus Christ.
To keep us in bondage and sin so that like them,
we will be condemned to hell. That ultimate condemnation
being, we don't get to be with the Father. We
are separated from the Father for eternity. The
true crying and gnashing of teeth. Because as
painful as that was for Jesus for a moment, how
painful is that going to be when it becomes an
eternity? So they very much have that mentality.
It's like, well, if I'm going to go down, I'm
going to take as many down kicking and screaming
as I can. We're going down together. Satan and
his demons, they know exactly where they're going.
As much as they may fight it, they already know.
It's kind of like when you're a kid. You're like,
you know what? I'm going to get in trouble. I'm
going to have to take my licks for this, but
I'm going to do it anyway. That's where they
are. So don't listen to their lies, not even
for a second when they say you're not good enough.
Because in God's eyes and by the love of Christ,
by God, you are good enough. Romans 38, 37, and
I promise you we're almost done. Romans 8, verse
37 says, Yet in all these things we are more
than conquerors through him who loved us. Well,
if we also flip back to 1 John chapter 4, 1 John
chapter 4, verse 4 specifically, we also see
this. So 1 John 4, 4 says, You are of God that
will children and have overcome them because
he is in you. is greater than he who is in the
world. It's because of Jesus Christ. It's because
the Holy Spirit, that power that's available
to you for help. Yes, the power is in you because
of the Holy Spirit to you, right? That doesn't
make it your power. He has the power. We go to
him with our everything. First and foremost,
we should get up. We should start the day with
Jesus. We should end the day with Jesus. We should
go through the day with Jesus. You know, I like
to think that if we have a good enough relationship,
we go through our dreams with Jesus. My wife
takes out her earplugs one day or gets up to
go to the restroom in the middle of the night
and she hears me praying, she'll be able to validate
that thought for me. Like, yep, you're dreaming
with Jesus. That'd be cool. And that's that power
that's there, though, that power that we can
go to to help keep the enemy at bay. It's that
power that breaks those chains of bondage and
freezes from them. It's on us not to go back
and try to put them back on. Because as much
as we like to say we break the chains, really,
what's he doing? He's taking the key. He's opening
it up, letting the shackle go. There's nothing
that's stopping us other than ourselves from
going, click, putting that sucker right back
on. Lord knows there's enough of us that are
stupid enough to do it. Wise up. Stop doing it.
It's that power that cleanses you, that blood,
so that you appear without blemish before the
Father. A power that helps you to overcome that
sin in your life. And not only that, but to resist
the temptations, the temptations that come over
and over and over. Saying, hey, remember how
good that felt? Just one more time. One more
time. What's it going to hurt, right? A lot of
alcoholics. Fall for that temptation. I'll use
them more so than anybody else because they could
be gone for decades. It's been 20, 30 years.
I'm going to pick up that one drink. What's it
going to hurt? Maybe even start with a non -alcoholic.
I remember I liked the taste. I liked the flavor.
Next thing you know, it's just like before. They're
trash. They're bent over. They're throwing up.
They have a hangover. They're acting irrationally.
They're not thinking right. It's the same thing
for each and every one of us, regardless of what
that sin is. Today's verses should serve, tongue
-tied. Today's verses should serve as a firm
reminder of God's love for us. It's one of the
great promises in all of Scripture. That as believers,
yes, you will have to face hardships. I will
have to face hardships. None of us will go without.
However, as we go through these hardships, we
see the various ugly things that the world has
to offer. Some of those things are definitely
uglier than others. There's going to be those
times when the darkness gets very overwhelming.
Incredibly overwhelming. Matter of fact, we're
so turned up and flipped upside down, we're not
even sure where the light is anymore, other than
we think it might be somewhere behind us because
we're not seeing anything. It's those times that
we might feel abandoned by Christ, but I can
assure you nothing is further from the truth.
He's always with you. Always with you. Nothing
can keep you separated from him. He's there with
you. He's within you You get caught up looking
for the light because we're looking down all
around But really we should be looking inside
Look inside and we find them And the closer we
get to them the faster we move towards them the
brighter that light gets He's died for you. He's
forgiven you. As a Christian, as a believer,
as a follower of Christ, you can rest assured
that God loves you. God's in love with you. Nothing,
absolutely nothing can ever separate you from
that love. It doesn't matter what good you do.
It doesn't matter what bad you do. He loves you
just the same. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, that
love isn't going anywhere. So you don't have
to be afraid. You just have to accept him and
accept his gift. Profess Jesus Christ as your
Lord and Savior and repent of your sin. Because
there is absolutely nothing in you that is so
broken that Jesus can't or won't fix it. You
just have to go to him and you have to trust
in him. And on that note, let us pray. Father,
we thank you for this reminder of your great
love for us. And while we struggle to grapple
with the world and its darkness, you continue
to intercede for us. We ask that you keep reminding
us of this and your greatness and your desire
for us to be reunited with you in your kingdom.
We recognize that we're all sinners. We've all
fallen short of the glory, of your glory. Please
forgive us of our various sins, those that we
know, those that we don't know. maybe even those
that we've forgotten. Help us as we face the
torments, the pains, and the hardships of this
world. And remind us, help us to always know
that we belong to you as family, as your adopted
sons and daughters covered in the blood of Jesus
Christ. And deliver us from these various darknesses
as we face them. Help us to have a voice that
points to you and your love and your glory. Your
grace and your mercy help us to remember. We
need to make sure that we never take up that
place at center stage, that place in the limelight
that truly belongs to you. And then when that
temptation comes or something happens, where
something might even happen that could start
to point in that direction, that we remember
to point to you and give all glory and all credit
to you. You're the one who truly deserves. We
thank you and we love you. In Jesus' name, all
of his people said, amen and amen. Remember,
as you leave here, you are loved and you are
blessed. That's right. Amen, Twinkie. So go and
be the church. Thank you for joining us at Healing
