When you can come to speak about Jesus Christ, it's an opportunity that hopefully will encourage each and every one of us listening tonight or here this evening. So this is I believe it's the 5th night of the 21 days of prayer for, New Hope Kapolei and I thank pastor Glenn Pastor Glenn for giving me the opportunity, that I can come speak And, you know, it's always good to exercise the gifts that God has given you, and it's to sharpen yourselves up because we we are in the times that's, it's getting like to say perilous.

Sonny [00:00:45]:
Let me be perilous, but you know it out there in this world. It's, it makes you wonder. It makes you wonder and think. But you know what? We have the key, and that key is Jesus Christ. And that's the hope for this world. So at this prayer request, they're gonna be taking online, I believe, yeah, online prayer request. The number is 808-793-5655. So please text your messages or your prayer requests to that number and then we'll be putting on the board and at the end, we'll be praying.

Sonny [00:01:15]:
So as my son is playing, I'll just open up in prayer. Lord, I just thank you for the opportunity to be in here this evening. Lord, with, everything that's going on, not only in this world but in our nation but in the state of Hawaii, but even in our own families, but even in our churches, lord. I speak power and it's only in your name, Lord Jesus, among my brothers and sisters here at New Hope Kapolei. But Lord, whoever's lending the ear to hear, Lord, I pray that you set fire to their hearts. Ignite their spirit that is within them. Help them to rise above the challenges that they face each and every day. Knowing that prayer is an offensive weapon that you've given us.

Sonny [00:01:51]:
Lord, that, the enemy is always scheming. But, Lord, we know that you're omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. And everything that is done under the stars of of heaven here on earth is ordered by you. But I thank you for the opportunity of speaking this evening. Bless your people. Bless your speaker. And it's in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Sonny [00:02:13]:
Hallelujah. So I know we have a few minutes to speak. Amen. So brother Sonny is gonna just get right into it. So my message this evening is, always pray and not lose heart. Always pray and not lose heart. And the reason why I chose this topic is that's me. You know, prayer is always an opportunity for us.

Sonny [00:02:36]:
God wants to just speak to us. So what does it mean to always pray and not lose heart? A majority of us can say that we have unanswered prayers and, we are still praying to God to answer some of those prayers. So I'm gonna share a parable today found in a book of found in the gospel of Luke chapter 18 verses 1 to 8. You gotta remember Luke, he was a physician. I give you a background. Luke was a physician, and they say he was a gentile, but he's not one of the original 12 disciples. Luke was a close friend with Paul. So that's why we think he was, but he was a good companion with Paul.

Sonny [00:03:17]:
Paul called Luke the beloved physician. Luke's gospel writings were the most literate, poetic, and beautiful of all the other gospels. Luke never met Jesus. Luke was a disciple of Paul, as I mentioned. And Luke became an avid evangelist. And he became an avid evangelist for the Lord Jesus Christ and the gospel that he shared. He vividly recorded both the power demonstrated by Jesus's life and the care that Jesus treated people with his healing, his miracles, and his deliverance. So look let's look at the let's get into his words.

Sonny [00:03:53]:
So I'm gonna be speaking from the book of Luke chapter 18 verse 1. I'm gonna be reading from the ESV and this is how it reads. And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. You gotta see right here, Luke is illustrating the lesson that Jesus oh, excuse me. That wasn't the trumpet. Luke is illustrating a lesson that Jesus used to teach his disciples about prayer. This illustration involved a parable. What is a parable? Parable is a simple story that illustrates a moral or spiritual lesson.

Sonny [00:04:31]:
And that lesson is what Jesus was trying to share with his disciples. And this parable spoke about a persistent widow. So the parable of the persistent widow. In this parable, Jesus is teaching his disciples the most importance of persistence in prayer and understanding that God's willingness to hear and to answer our petitions. He also does not want his disciples to lose heart and give up on their praying when their prayers are not being answered in a manner that they wanted to. So let me go and talk to you about this persistent widow and I'm gonna just gonna go quickly through the verses from Luke chapter 8. It's gonna be all the way to, verse 8. So the next slide is gonna be, verses 23 in the book of Luke chapter 18, and it reads just like this.

Sonny [00:05:23]:
And he said, in a certain city, there was a judge who neither fear God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, give me justice against my adversary. And then the next verses 45, and for a while, he refused as the judge. But afterward, he said to himself, though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps coming, keeps bothering me, I will give her justice so that she will not beat down on me by her continually coming. Verses 67. And the Lord said, hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to His elect who cried out to Him day night? Will He delay long over them? And in verse 8, I'll tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the son of man comes, will he find faith on earth? So when you look at this parable that god is Jesus is speaking about to his disciples, it talks about 2 people, the widow and the judge, and that judge was unjust.

Sonny [00:06:29]:
So let's you know, the characteristics of the unjust judge. This takes place in an unnamed town that we don't know what town it is. It was a Jewish community. But you gotta remember in the Jewish community, a judge was expected to judge righteously. They needed to be fair. They needed to be impartial, and they especially needed to recognize that God had the final judgment on say in all matters. But as we read through these scripture verses, he had no fear of God. No godly wisdom and knowledge was in him.

Sonny [00:07:04]:
No regard he had no regard for any person. That means he had no love for anyone. He did not consider the helpless, which is the widow. He had no compassion. Made he made decisions that were beneficial for himself and meaning he was selfish. And he set his own standard. He did not love God's law. So let's look into a persistent widow.

Sonny [00:07:29]:
The widow came before the judge to plead her case. Someone had taken advantage of her inheritance. According to Jewish law, widows deserve deserve special protection under the justice system. Even with this Jewish law, widows with children had a hard time making a living for themselves and even hard was even harder when they had children to care for. This unjust judge continued to ignore this widow's plea for justice. So you can see she had an adversary. Who was that adversary? The unjust judge. We Christians, we have an adversary, you know, out there.

Sonny [00:08:12]:
You know the adversary's name. Right? Satan. We we we we we do have an adversary that's always scheming and always trying to take us down because why? Because you love the Lord. So she had an adversary, we have an adversary. But the widow, she refused to give up. She repeatedly appeared before the judge to plead her case. The widow would not take no for an answer, but this unjust judge finally reached his breaking point, and he was all flustered by the persistence of this widow to have her case be resolved. So this just unjust judge, he didn't care for God.

Sonny [00:08:52]:
He didn't care for people. But with her persistence, her, you know, that they have a saying, the squeakiest wheel gets what? The oil. So she was over there probably knocking on his door or not at at his courtroom every single day trying to get justice. And what he didn't want? He wanted to get it out. But so what he did? He heard a case. And this was due to the widow being persistent at requesting to be heard each and every day. She did not let discouragement stop her from receiving justice for her case. This unjust judge reached his breaking point in verse in the in the verse 4 and 5 of shot of the Luke chapter 18.

Sonny [00:09:42]:
And for a while, he refused. But after it, he said to himself, though I like I said, though I now fear God or respect man, yet because the the presences over this widow, I will give her justice. When this persistent widow finally got her do justice that she was seeking, her case was finally closed. Did this widow pray day night? That's something we gotta think about. But you gotta remember, God changed that heart of the unjust judge. Even though you may say because he was getting overwhelmed, he changed that. God is the one that changes your heart. You know, we have an opportunity to share God's word.

Sonny [00:10:27]:
We plant. Somebody else comes to share God's word, you water. But only God is the one that gives the increase. So only the Lord, only the words of God can change our heart. So we can see that God changed this unjust judge his heart. And we have to understand that, when he did that, Jesus explains his point that even if an unfit, uncaring, ungodly judge answers with justice in the end, how much more will our loving and merciful holy father give what is right to his children? Can I get amen? Amen. Let me read that. How much more would a loving merciful holy father give what is right to his children if an adjust judge can do that? Persistence in prayer.

Sonny [00:11:15]:
Just like the widow, we don't have we don't always get the immediate results when we pray. Can I get a amen? Amen. That's for sure. And I can tell you that's for darn sure. You can take that to the bank. You know, when you come to becoming a Christian, people think it's easy to become a Christian. But I tell you, it's a challenge. It's a it's a challenge to this day.

Sonny [00:11:38]:
Coming over here singing, my family singing, that's a challenge. I mean, here for me to speak, that's a challenge. But if we don't take that faith step and step forward and speak about Jesus Christ and how good he is in our lives, How can God give the victory to each and every one of us? So that's what we gotta remember. So just like the widow, we don't always get our answers the way that we want or immediately that we want. Because we live in a society where everything is quick. You get everything is you just warm them up. Quick dish, quick coffee, everything. But our definition or meaning of swift justice may not be what the same as the Lord's definition, meaning of swift justice.

Sonny [00:12:18]:
You gotta remember that. The parable of the persistent widow shows us that the effective prayer requires tenacity and faithfulness. Tell your neighbor, it requires tenacity and faithfulness. As Christians, you gotta remember, as Christians, we must learn to pray and never lose heart. And and that's something that, a characteristic that we build in ourselves that it's not just overnight you can get it. It's through the constant prayer, constant battle that we go through. It's the constant living. It's the experience that we gain through the rises and the falls in our lives.

Sonny [00:12:56]:
It doesn't just happen overnight. There's no pill you can take, no scripture verse you can read, no prayer that we can come over you. It takes persistence and it takes perseverance. But they've gotta remember that Jesus Christ is the key to everything that we have. So as Christians, we gotta learn how to pray and not lose heart. Why? Because prayer and answered prayers are the based on absolute trust and faith on God. Let me let me go read that one again. You gotta remember because prayer and answered prayers, they're based on the absolute trust and faith in God.

Sonny [00:13:35]:
Not in yourself or how good you pray or how long you pray, or where you pray, how much you pray. It's beat on the faith and trust in God. That's how we get it. We can trust God to answer our prayers. We can answer God to answer the wheres, the wins, the wise, and the hows. When we think that God is not hearing our prayers, don't lose heart. Keep pressing in closer to Him. I believe pastor, Jeff spoke about that yesterday.

Sonny [00:14:05]:
Press in on the Lord. The longer you have to wait, the god's not answering, the more pressing you should get to the Lord. Because why? Victory is right around the precipice. Just don't give up. When we think that like I said, when we think that God is not hearing our prayers, don't lose heart. Keep pressing closer to him. You gotta remember, god makes the choice. But he expects us to keep asking.

Sonny [00:14:23]:
He expects us to keep seeking. He expects us to keep He expects us to keep seeking. He expect us to keep knocking. He expect us to keep praying until an answer comes. And you can find that in the book of Matthew chapter 7 verses 7 through 8. And it says, keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be open to you.

Sonny [00:14:52]:
For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds and everyone who knocks, that door will be open. Can I get amen? That's a that's a promise from the Lord. God is telling you that that he will when you ask, he's gonna give it to you. You're gonna receive. When you see, you're gonna find something. When you ask and knock, the door gonna open. So when we have this traversity of persistence in prayer where god hasn't answered our prayer, we gotta hold fast to your professional faith.

Sonny [00:15:28]:
Ask the lord. Tell the lord to show you. He will because, he showed me. You know, sometime when coming first to the Lord, it's tough. I have a family. You know, everything that we went through as a family, oh, it's battle, man. That's battling. That's some battles.

Sonny [00:15:53]:
You know my son when he was born, he was born hearing impaired. He wears 2 hearing aids. You know, when the lord when when when they told me that and I was coming to the lord, I I was fresh. I was new. I was new in the Lord. I mean, I I shouldn't say I wasn't that new. I had a relationship with Jesus. But when I found out my son was hearing a parent, I told him, lord, what's going on? I go to church.

Sonny [00:16:22]:
I serve you. I'm on the praise and worship team. I'm part of the the the spiritual leadership. I changed my, I changed my position where I work. I took a Monday through Friday job so I could help the ministry out. But yet my son is hearing impaired. Challenges. Did that stop me for praying? We used to go to my son's hearing tests.

Sonny [00:16:47]:
We went, like, 3 or 4 doctors. The thing is that the kicker was that I was making too much money for him to receive services, but I wasn't making enough money for him to get the services. That's a fact. But when you look at it to this day, God always says, son, you gotta ask. So through all that time, my son is playing the piano. He plays the drums. Yes. Yes.

Sonny [00:17:15]:
You shoot some rough patches. It wasn't that simple. It wasn't that simple. Simple because I only get 10 minutes to talk to you about simple. You give me 10:10 episodes, and I give you some episodes. But my son, there's challenges that arise. I don't want I'm not picking on my son. I love my son.

Sonny [00:17:32]:
And the reason for that is that, you know, every time we go up, I give you a victory. Oh, we go another challenge with my son. A kid went through so a lot. Even when he was small, you know, he okay. He cannot hear. You know, I got through that. Now he has, asthma. So now I gotta give him albuterol at night night with the the machine.

Sonny [00:17:56]:
And when I give the my son that he was only, like, 2, I think, 2a half. I give him the machine. He cannot sleep. The bug he's all up. And I just cry out to the lord, lord, what's going on? Then again, I go, lord, I serve in you. We go to the hospital 3 o'clock in the morning. My son is turning blue. I tell my wife, hey.

Sonny [00:18:18]:
We gotta go. That's my training I used to have. I have a check is because I I'm a retired police officer. So I saw my son. I said, oh, bro. We gotta go doctor. We get we get over there. They take my son.

Sonny [00:18:28]:
Son. Oh, they see him. They take him straight in. It's it's, like, 2, 3, 2, 3 o'clock in the morning. There's you're gonna hear nothing. And then all of a sudden, I hear this crying. It's my son. They gave him an what you call that? One shot to open up his lungs.

Sonny [00:18:49]:
So I had to ask the Lord. He had pneumonia. He stayed in the hospital for a few days. But guess what? God healed him. That's how good God is. God is good all the time. You know, consistent in prayer, consistency, still praying for that. You know, it's not easy.

Sonny [00:19:07]:
It doesn't come overnight. To this day, I still pray easy for my son. You know, going with my son, that gave me some challenges going through everything that he even get us through. But I gonna close with this, the best thing that so I asked my my you know, finding out my son and my daughter-in-law were expecting a child and we only found that out, you know, a short period of time. But through that period of time, my son took it the responsibility to be a father. He married his wife and then the next day and a half, his son was born. But he made the decision. He didn't wait for a big wedding.

Sonny [00:20:04]:
We went to the justice of the peace. He did it, they did it, and he got married. The next day, they went into the hospital. Then early morning, their son was born. And the reason why their son was born and you and you know what they named his son? Sonny. Persistent prayer availing much. That's why you cannot stop praying. Never cease praying.

Sonny [00:20:36]:
So when I was I told my wife, you know, we're waiting on that that we're just waiting at and we're waiting inside the cafeteria. And my wife was getting tired because she's looking at me and her she was noise her eyes is clearing up. I said, oh, hey. You're sleepy. She say, we'll go home. I said, okay. Maybe we wait till 11 or 10:30. So 10:30 came and say, you know what? I think the lord told me we the baby gonna be born at 12 o'clock.

Sonny [00:21:03]:
We're gonna have to stay, and we stayed. My wife went to get her my son food because that's that's all we know for for him to get a hungry dad. You guys can buy me food. So my wife was standing. She bought him food and I said, hey. You know, you gotta go up. Daryl's here to get burnt. What? And they went up and I didn't go.

Sonny [00:21:20]:
I stayed. I stayed there for, like, about 20 minutes, and then they called me back up. This is where we're gonna close. So when I walk into there, my wife said, hey. You know, go go see go see your grandson. So I walked into the, the room, and my son was holding his son, and they were bonding. And this is what he said. He said, look, Sonny.

Sonny [00:21:49]:
This is who I named you after because I want you to be just like you. Then I told Peter, don't be just like me. Be like Jesus. But I took it. I understood. I understood what he meant. Because of the persistence and prayer and the showing of love, that's the thing that we need to do. So in closing, I'm gonna show you a few, quotes.

Sonny [00:22:19]:
This first quote is from a Timothy Keller. He's a pastor and an apologist, a theologian. It says prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily whether we feel like it or not. Take that to the bank. And the second one is another pastor and author. His quote is prayer causes things to happen that wouldn't happen if you didn't pray. And I can tell you that is very true. You gotta remember, faithful, never ceasing, persist in prayer is the permanent calling of every true disciple of Jesus Christ who is dedicated to living for the kingdom of God.

Sonny [00:23:00]:
Let me read that one more time. Faithful, never ceasing, persistent prayer is the permanent calling of every true disciple of Jesus Christ who is dedicated to living for the kingdom of God. You know, like the persistent widow, we are needy, we are dependent sinners who trust in our gracious loving and merciful God alone to supply all our needs. And that's why Jesus told his disciples in Luke 18:8, you have to remember, nevertheless, when the son of man comes, will he find faith on earth? That's the second part. If the Lord was to come today, do would he find some faithful believers persistent in prayer and not losing heart and continuing to prayer if you have, prayers not answered? Can I get a amen? Because that's what that's what the question that God is posing to his disciples. But I pose that question to each and every one of us. Are we faithful enough that if the Lord were to come, that we are praying? And and that's why it's so great that Pastor Glenn opened up the opportunity for 21 days to prayer so you establish a prayer life. You have to utilize it.

Sonny [00:24:10]:
It has to be normal. So my my other slide is called push. This is what I don't want you guys talk to. Pray until something happens. Tell your neighbor push. You gotta pray until something happens. And that's why he said that's why Jesus told his disciples and he told them the effect to the effect that they ought to always pray and not lose heart. Push.

Sonny [00:24:35]:
Pray until something happens. Amen? So I'm not gonna I know I went a little bit over overtime. My clock went off. But, at this time, I'm gonna close my my portion and we're gonna get into our prayer. So remember, if you do have a a prayer request, please text it to 7 808-793-5655. And from this point on, let me just close a short close this message, and then I have a few questions that you guys can look. The first question, I guess, I should go over the reflection questions. The first one is, has prayer played an active role in your Christian walk? If yes, how so? Second question, is there something or someone that you're standing in need of prayer for? That you're still standing in need of prayer for? And the number 3 is the challenge for you today is for you to become a faithful prayer warrior for Jesus.

Sonny [00:25:30]:
Lord, I just thank you for your word. Lord, I thank you that I pray lord that it would just continue to go out and move the hearts and souls of for the body of Christ, lord. That I would encourage each and every one of us that are listening here or online, but lord that we know your word will not come back void. So I thank you for your word for this opportunity, and I thank you, Lord, as we break up to pray. We give you glory in Jesus' name. Amen. So in a few minutes, we'll be coming back, and then we do some corporate prayer. Amen.

Sonny [00:43:22]:
Thank you for all your, text and quests. We know our God is a sovereign God. We can't keep him in a box here because he's omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. So before you even speak the words from your mouth, he's already answering your prayer. That's the faithfulness that we have in God. When you speak it out, you ask that from the Lord. God is merciful and gracious to already step forward, like I said. So let's look to the Lord in prayer this evening for all these requests.

Sonny [00:43:53]:
But before I speak that, I'm gonna just pray for your church. Lord, I just wanna pray for our new Hope Kapolei, Lord, and Pastor Glenn, and all the other pastors, Lord. Through the times that we're going through, Lord Jesus, I pray that you encourage them and empower them with the power of your spirit. Your word never changes. It's the same yesterday, today, and forever war. That spirit that rose Lazarus from the dead is the same spirit that we have today, Lord. And I pray, Lord Jesus, that you would just give them the double portion of your holy spirit upon them. That you will give them the wisdom and knowledge that they need through these trying times that we are living.

Sonny [00:44:23]:
And I pray that you encourage not just the men but the women, Lord. That they stand together and they not lose hope. Lord, that they can draw upon you, lord, for you're faithful, you're just, and you're holy, lord. But you're a God that is not dead is alive. And every word that we share, it's alive, Lord. So I wanna pray for this church, Lord, Pray for this ministry. Pray for this place right here. Your your White Paulhus Center as well as, in Kapolei at the school, Lord Jesus.

Sonny [00:44:52]:
Their ministry goes there for the Sundays. So all their services, every service, Lord. I know, Lord, we want to have a majority of people come, but it's not just the majority. Lord, it's the proper way of saying it's the amount of people that you have there is what you need them to be. That they not lose hope or focus, but they will be encouraged because, lord, we can get discouraged. We we don't see the pews filled. We don't see our services filled, but you're you are still working in a mighty way. And I pray, lord, that they look to within themselves, that you are you are empowering each and every one of them, That you are are solidifying your word within them, and that you will set fire to their feet, and to their hearts and to their minds, and then they will speak they will speak life to not just within their church, but where they work, where they live, where they shop, where they go to the parks.

Sonny [00:45:58]:
Lord, church without walls, that's what you want. You want your word to just permeate all this state of Hawaii. But not only for that, for our our like they say, our own Jerusalem which in our own families. Help us to be that light, to our families, to be the salt that don't taste the same, To encourage our family members. Just our home, Lord Jesus. So I pray that you just continue to bless Nuho Kapolei and Pastor Glenn and all the other pastors and every single person, lay person, from the Levites to the musicians, to those that do audio and video, to the guys that move everything. Let them know that you are real. And what they do is important in the kingdom of God because we are moving forward.

Sonny [00:46:51]:
We're not letting the enemy come against us, Lord. We bind Satan in Jesus' name. We rebuke and cast him out. We cancel all the assignments of the enemy, all the scheming, and we pray for a blessing upon them. So, lord, as they celebrate this 35 years of being together as a body Lord. I pray Lord Jesus that you would just continue to empower them and for those times that they're gonna celebrate. I pray that you bring those that were once here so that they can celebrate in the and just knowing that they can continue on in doing your work here on earth. But, lord, I pray for every request.

Sonny [00:47:26]:
I pray for healing right now. Lord, you're the greatest physician. You know, even Luke was a physician. Lord, you are the greatest healer of all. Because you created us in your image, you breathe life into us, lord. You know every intricate part of our bodies, lord. So I pray for healing for all those that are sick right now. I pray your healing touch upon them, that you'll cover them, Lord, with your precious blood.

Sonny [00:47:46]:
And that you would just deliver them from whatever they're going through, lord. And that they can look to you where the help coming from, and that your angels will just minister to them, and your spirit will then come alive in them. And help us Lord Jesus continue to pray for them. But Lord, we have, we were praying for us a request here for continue healing for somebody who's suffering COVID. And not only for that, for for coverage, for their health insurance. Lord, open up the windows of heaven. Pour down your blessing upon them, lord. I pray that you help them too because man can charge an arm and a leg, lord.

Sonny [00:48:21]:
But it says seek you first in the book of Matthew chapter 6 verse 33. If we seek you first your kingdom and all your righteousness, everything shall be added unto us. So we stand upon that, lord. And we thank you for a praise report for brother Rick who had a praise report about his biopsy. We give you glory because it's negative. So we thank you, Jesus. We give you glory, Lord. Hallelujah.

Sonny [00:48:47]:
That is a victory in your name, Lord Jesus. Thank you. That's a beautiful praise report. And, Lord, we just wanna pray for Brian who had 2 surgeries. He's looking for a job. He's looking for a place to live. So I pray that you will help him with that, lord. Help him with that.

Sonny [00:49:03]:
Help him with all that he's going through. Lord, let him not lose heart. Let him look to you where his help coming from. It's in Psalms 4610. It says, be still and know that you are God. You're gonna be you will be blessed. The nations are in here in the house, Lord Jesus. So bless him.

Sonny [00:49:20]:
Thank you for him. And then we pray for Kim's dad. We pray for healing. We pray for deliverance. And we just want, Lord, not only physical, we want salvation too, Lord. So I pray, Lord, right now, I pray, Lord Jesus, that this opportunity that you open up the door of opportunity for someone to go there and speak to him about your word and who you are, Jesus. And then by word, Lord Jesus, we can pray from here that you will touch his heart. Deliver him, Lord Jesus, for whatever he's facing.

Sonny [00:49:54]:
That cancer Lord, we we know our thus we came, thus we were returned, but I pray for healing upon that man. I pray that Kim, who is standing in for her father, I stand alongside of her, and I stand and ask you persistently like this, widow, for your healing touch and for your deliverance. I pray that you send someone to share that word with him, another person to water, and you give that increase, lord. So I just pray that, lord. I pray for every request. I pray for all every individual that is here this evening. I thank you for them. Thank you for taking the time out of their busy schedule for being here this evening and those that are online, lord.

Whatever is upon their hearts, lord, you know it. So I just stand in prayer with them. And I thank you, Lord, that they give you glory. And it's in Jesus' mighty name we pray, and we all say, amen. Before I close, my family is gonna sing us out with one song. So I'm gonna call my beautiful wife to come up. I sing praises to Hallelujah. We thank you, Lord, for this evening, Lord.

Sonny [00:53:25]:
We give you glory. And we give you honor, Lord Jesus. And I pray you bless every individual. But we, once again, we thank you for the time and opportunity of being here to give you glory. Now remember, pray as soon something happens. Push. Don't give up. Don't lose heart.

Sonny [00:53:41]:
In Jesus' name. You have a blessed evening, a blessed week weekend. In Jesus' name, amen.
