Imelda Villa [00:00:00]:
Before I start, I'd like to open us up in prayer, so please join me and bow our heads. Father, we just thank you for the time we have tonight. Bless those who are here in person and those who are watching online, and even those who will hear this message in the future. I humbly ask for your wisdom, courage, and a fresh anointing as I share this message and for open ears and hearts to receive it. In Jesus name, amen. So, you know, when I was young, I didn't really like my name. Imelda sounded so old fashioned. And everyone would ask me, so how many pairs of shoes do you have in reference to Imelda Marcos, the wife of the Philippine dictator who reportedly had thousands of shoes? And I always had to fake a smile and pretend it was the first time ever that I heard that joke before the record.

Imelda Villa [00:00:50]:
I was not named after her. I was named after my mom's best friend. So growing up, I actually went by several different names. My family to this day calls me Grace, which is my middle name. So if you hear my. You ever hear my mom talking about Grace, she's talking about me. She's not talking about another sister. For a short time in middle school, I was called Metz.

Imelda Villa [00:01:12]:
Please don't ask me how that came about, but I'm glad that one didn't stick. But most of my friends from high school through college still call me Mellow. In fact, I can probably place the time in my life when I met someone based on the name that they call me. It was only as an adult that I started liking my name. And part of the reason is because it was so uncommon. I didn't know I didn't meet very many people named Imelda, who was at least my age or even younger than me. But the big reason? It's also because I learned my name has a Germanic and Spanish roots and it means warrior. So I used to have images of myself wearing like an armor and wielding a sword like a tough warrior princess like Xena.

Imelda Villa [00:01:56]:
But these days, the only armor I imagine myself wearing is the armor of God. And maybe that's the best kind of warrior to be. I love my name now. I'm thankful my parents chose that name for me. But how many of you know, names are important to God? So in Genesis 2, verses 19 to 20, one of the first things that God asks Adam to do is to give animals their names. And in both the Psalms and Isaiah, it talks about God bringing out the stars and calling them each by name. Now, if the animals and the stars are that important to God, how much more? Us, his children, who he created after his own image. Calling us by name is one way God makes it known that we belong to him.

Imelda Villa [00:02:44]:
In Isaiah 43, verse 1, it states, but now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you, O Israel, the one who formed you says, do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you, I have called you by name, you are mine. And when we go into the New Testament, In John chapter 10, when Jesus refers to himself as the good shepherd, he says in verses two to three, but the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. Now there are many examples in the Bible of God calling people by their names and for different reasons. But for night I want to highlight three specific people and the reasons why God called them so. First, In Luke chapter 19, we are introduced to a man named Zacchaeus. I had to learn how to pronounce that.

Imelda Villa [00:03:40]:
In verse one it says, Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short, he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore fig tree to see him. Since Jesus was coming that way. Now, maybe he had heard who this Jesus was who performed miracles and accepted people like him, and he wanted to see for himself. So being the short guy, he climbed up a tree to get a better view.

Imelda Villa [00:04:15]:
And when he's up there, that's when he gets the call. And in verse 5 it says when Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, zacchaeus, come down immediately. I'm stay at your house today. So what was Zacchaeus response to Jesus invitation? Well, simply put, he obeyed. In verse 6 it says, so he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. And in fact, verse 8 continues with Zacchaeus in an act of repentance. Repentance and obedience tells Jesus that he is going to change his ways. Zacchaeus response to Jesus resulted in redemption.

Imelda Villa [00:04:57]:
Verse 9 it says, Jesus said to him, today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost. Now incidentally, Zacchaeus name means pure one, and he was anything but pure until Jesus called his name and he was redeemed. The second story I want to share tonight is of Paul. Many of you are familiar with him. He was a religious man. He was called the Pharisee of Pharisees. And in Acts chapter nine, it opens up by telling us that Saul, which is his Hebrew name, that verse one, he was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciple.

Imelda Villa [00:05:36]:
And verse two, he wanted to send anyone who followed the way to prison. Then in chapter three, he had an encounter with Jesus as he neared Damascus on his journey. Suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, saul, Saul, why do you persecute me two times? Saul, Saul, you know God's trying to get his attention. And Saul replied, who are you, Lord? Saul asked, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. He replied, now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do. So what was Paul's response to Jesus command? Like Zacchaeus, he obeyed. Verse 8 tells us Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing.

Imelda Villa [00:06:24]:
So they led him by the hand into Damascus. Now the result is probably one of the greatest transformations in scripture. Verse 18 to 20 tells us immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he could see again. He got up and was baptized. And after taking some food, he regained his strength. Saul spent several days with his disciples in Damascus. At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the son of God. And for Paul, that was just the beginning.

Imelda Villa [00:06:57]:
Paul went from being a religious persecutor to a spirit filled evangelist. His act of obedience has had a ripple effect that impacts us even today. 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament are attributed to him in the form of the letters that he wrote to the different churches. The final example I want to share tonight is Moses, who, like Paul, probably doesn't need much. Introduction. Exodus chapter 3 opens with Moses tending his father in law's flock. And this is years after he left his good life in Egypt where he was part of Pharaoh's family. And it was while he was out with that flock that he got the call.

Imelda Villa [00:07:37]:
Verse 2, it says there the angel of the Lord you know something's good about is about to happen when the angel of the Lord appears, appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses thought, I will go over and see the strange sight why the bush does not burn up. When the Lord saw that, he had gone over to look God called to him from within the bush. Moses, Moses. And Moses said, here I am. Now, the Lord had a big task for Moses. He was asking him to go to Pharaoh and tell him to let God's people go.

Imelda Villa [00:08:15]:
But I think Moses, here I am. Was followed with a but because he had all sorts of excuses. In verse 11, he says, who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt? And he kept asking, what if this happens? And suppose I go and they ask me stuff, what I should, what should I say? But God told him, I will be with you. And speaking of names, this is where God introduces himself by name. In verse 14, he says, I am who I am. Which he says is his name forever. Now for the next few chapters, Moses has every objection to what God's asking him to do. In chapter 4, verse 10, I think the NLT version captures itself, catches it so well.

Imelda Villa [00:09:01]:
But Moses pleaded with the Lord, then just ask. Then just say, oh, please. He pleaded with the Lord, oh Lord, I'm not very good with words. I never have been and I'm not now. Even though you have spoken to me, I get tongue tied and my words get tangled. Now, Moses took a convoluted route before God's purpose in him was realized. And God even assigns his brother Aaron to assist him. But for all intents and purposes, Moses still went.

Imelda Villa [00:09:30]:
And I think the bigger point is that his actions show that even through his human weaknesses, there was still God's divine power that worked through him. And I believe Moses resume is a testament to that. He led the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt. Exodus chapter 12. He delivered the Ten Commandments to God's people in Exodus 20. And because of all his actions, he made it into the Hebrews 11 hall of faith. In verse 26 it says he regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward by faith. He left Egypt not fearing the king's anger.

Imelda Villa [00:10:14]:
He persevered because he saw him who is invisible. Now you'll notice something in common with these three men, that when each of them speaks said yes to God, it wasn't just them, not just each of them who was blessed as individuals. The blessings were extended. For Zacchaeus, his whole household household was saved. For Paul, it was the church. And for Moses, it's Israel. For Israel. Israel and the generations thereafter.

Imelda Villa [00:10:46]:
So tonight, maybe you're like Zacchaeus. You've heard of this Jesus. Maybe your friend has been inviting you to church. Telling you about Jesus, who they say loves the unlovely and redeems the lost. And you're curious. And maybe you hearing this message tonight is like Zacchaeus climbing that sycamore tree to see Jesus. What if Jesus is calling your name now because he wants to redeem you? Or maybe you're kind of like Paul. You.

Imelda Villa [00:11:14]:
You go to church religiously. You attend life group because that's what you're supposed to do. But maybe you've been blind to all that Christ has for you. That anxiety still haunts you. That past sin still consumes you. I've heard it said that the enemy knows our name but calls us by our sin. But God knows our sin, calls us by our name. What if God is calling your name because he wants to transform you? Maybe you're like Moses.

Imelda Villa [00:11:45]:
God is calling you to step out in faith and realize the purpose he has created before. Maybe it's a vocation. Maybe it's a new ministry you've never taken part of before, but you're pleading with God not to send. You giving a million excuses why you're not qualified. But like he told Moses, I will be with you. I am who I am. So how should we respond when God calls to us? In Hebrew, the word shema has a very rich and deep meaning, more than the time we have tonight to really delve into it. But at its very essence, it means to listen and obey.

Imelda Villa [00:12:25]:
For the Hebrews, to hear God is to obey God. And that's the proper response. I'd like to close with this story. About three months ago, we were having a prayer team breakfast, and Uncle Irv challenged the prayer team members to speak at the midweek prayer night. It made a lot of sense for a prayer team. It's a prayer night. And I remember being so nervous. But I think that same day, I talked to Uncle Irv or Corliss, I don't even remember who, And I said, I'd like to speak at one of these prayer nights.

Imelda Villa [00:12:58]:
Now, those of you who know me know that I'm not comfortable speaking in front of people. Actually, when I asked Kristi, I told Kristina I wanted to speak. She said, you can wait a couple months. Give yourself time to prepare. You can speak at 21 days of prayer. So this was a few months ago. I used to have paralyzing anxiety whenever I had to give presentations for work or for school. So for me to volunteer to speak in front of a crowd is a big deal.

Imelda Villa [00:13:25]:
But, you know, it wasn't Uncle Irv. I was saying yes, to that day. This is my prayer notebook. I write down a lot of my prayers in here. Some are very general. I actually have a page with the names of all my living relatives. And I'll do. Sometimes I'll do blanket of prayer for protection and favor for them.

Imelda Villa [00:13:47]:
But I also write very specific prayers. There's a prayer that I wrote on August 23, 2024, almost one year to this day. And if you'll allow me, I'd like to read what it says. Father, I sense there's a message that is forming in my thoughts that someday you'd like me to share. Maybe it's to one person or a group or multiple people. Whatever the purpose is, whoever it's for, whenever it is, I want to be obedient to your prompting, expand my mind to know your word and share this message when the time comes, in Jesus name, amen. All glory to you. I believe God called my name that day.

Imelda Villa [00:14:31]:
Imelda. Imelda, my warrior child, step out of your fear and speak. So I said yes. And that's why I'm standing in front of you here tonight. And I can't wait to see what he's going to do next. Maybe you've been hearing God call your name. How will you respond? For the next few minutes, let's reflect on these two things. We'll pray individually and pray in small groups, and we'll come together again to pray corporately and again.

Imelda Villa [00:15:00]:
If there's a burden in your heart tonight that you'd like us to pray for and alongside you, please text us 808793 5655.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:37:26]:
We thank you for, Lord. We thank you for such a powerful message, Lord. I thank you for what my sister Imelda, Lord, shared that says Lord, although the devil knows our name, that he chooses to call us by our sin or call us by our weakness or call us by our doubts, Lord, he calls us and accuses. He. He whispers things, Lord, often in the dark in our moments of weakness. But we thank youk, Lord Jesus, you who know our sin, died for our sin, paid for our sin, chooses to call us by name. And so, Father, we thank youk, Lord, that that is such a powerful Lord, powerful truth, God. We receive it today, Father, thank youk.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:38:17]:
Would you just raise your hand and say, thank you, Lord, that you know my sin, but yout paid for it. And that, Lord, you call me by name, Lord, I want to hear your voice, Father. We all need to be an Imelda a warrior at times. Father, I thank youk that I just looked it up and that it talks about kind of an encompassing battle. And it's a. It's a warrior in a battle that sometimes goes beyond, Lord, just the little siege, Lord, that we're. Our life, Lord, at times is like a battle. And thank you, Lord, that you are the strength and the power, Lord, that can give us victory.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:39:01]:
And Lord, we just contend tonight, Father, we contend that what you did at the cross, Lord, what you did at the cross and the power of the resurrection, your death and your resurrection, Lord, it is the defining point for all humanity. And that, Lord, that when we bow ourselves before the foot of the cross. Father, I thank youk that we transfer, Lord. We are no longer part of the kingdom of darkness. But Father, we have come into youo kingdom of light. And so, Father, we're praying God tonight that as we're facing, Lord, that whatever it is that you're facing, whatever it is that you're contending for, a relationship, a financial situation, that whatever it is that you're contending for, a sense of a promotion, a sense of advancement, a health condition, that would you contend and pray not so that God might give you victory, but because he already has purchased the victory. So Father, we thank youk that by the death and the resurrection you humiliated the enemy, Lord. You broke their power.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:40:24]:
Lord, when we align ourselves with youh Father, we confess our sin, Father, we reverse the curse, Lord, we walk in your light, Father, when we trust in your word, when we follow you, Father, when we submit and. And seek and humble ourselves before the mighty throne of grace. Father, I thank you. That would life pour forth, Father, would it pour forth in these relationships? God, would it pour forth, Lord, in our. In our kingdom assignments, God, would it pour forth, Lord, in our. In our finances, Father, what it says when the apostle John said, Lord, that would we be blessed in all respects as your soul is blessed, Lord, that we're praying, God, for a healing in our bodies and a healing in our minds, Father, a healing in our. Lord, our. Our well being.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:41:18]:
Lord, thank you that you have purchased that price. And so, Father, we thank youk that although life is a battle, Lord, we're thankful that yout have won the battle. Would you'd just declare that, just say. And just give God praise right now, Lord, over those things. Lord, we do give youe thanks. And Father, I thank youk that yout have called the church by name youe bride, Father, you have called you'd people, Father your have set in Place, Lord. Congregations, Lord. You'd have set in place, Lord, a people that you are calling by your own name.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:41:55]:
And that, Lord, that we are tied, that we are connected, we are tethered, Lord. We are bound to you like a husband and a wife. That you said that, Lord, that we become one flesh. And so, Father, I thank you, in other words, that our well being in some sense determines your well being, Father, that our concerns are your concerns. So, Father, that today, whatever the battle that it is that you're fighting, would you give it to the Lord that, Lord, would this be this battle that I'm fighting? I place it in your hands that this would be your battle, God. Would you go to battle for me, Lord? Would you go and intercede for me, Lord? Would you go and strengthen? And Lord, I thank you that when we think in terms of our assignment as a church, Father, to reach people who are far from Christ, Father. To make disciples, Lord. To pass on the flame, Lord, to the next generation, Father.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:42:58]:
To declare the love and the truth and the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Lord, we say, Lord, that we know that there are different kinds of opposition in different places. Places, Father, that maybe over Kapolei and the Ewa plain, Lord, that there are principalities and powers, Lord, you said of forces of wickedness in high places. And, Father, along the Leeward coast from Kapolei to Maili, Lord, all the way down to the end of the island. And, Father, towards right here where we are right now in Waipahu, in Central and Honolulu, Lord, we just declare, Lord. Would you rebuke the principalities and the powers, Lord, because you broke their power. And we say to you, bow before the name of the living God and give up, Lord, those that you have held in bondage. And Father, I pray, Lord, that you would bring to us as a church family, Lord, people who are lost, Father.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:44:04]:
People who. Who will find hope and redemption, Father. The people who will be able to begin a new life, Lord, whether they're like 15 or they're 85. Father, I thank youk that, Lord, everyone can have a new life in youn. And so, Father, we pray. Thank youk, Lord Jesus, that Lord, we want to speak that yout don't just give second chances, Lord. You renew life, Father. You cause us to be born again, Lord.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:44:35]:
You bring in us a life that we've never experienced. So, Father, we just receive. We receive that, Lord. There's a lost generation that Lord, would you bring them? Father, I thank you that you're the one that made them, Lord. You're the one that's calling them. And Lord, that we just speak that Lord, that there is a generation that may still be distant from you and disconnected from you, but they are looking. And Father, that you are the one that said in the prophet Ezekiel that Lord, you call out to the valley of dry bones and you called the prophet to say would you speak to these bones and call them to live? And so we just say to those who are far live Lord we say to those who are hopeless, live Father, we say to those who are bound in in addictions of all kinds, live God we say to those Lord, that are hopeless and that cannot see the way forward. We say to them, live Lord.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:45:34]:
Father, that those who feel like my life will be less than my parents life, that I don't have a future, we say to them live in the name of Jesus and Father, that you would reveal yourself Father, would you cause those bones to rattle? Would you cause them to move because they came together? Lord, would you bring us together? Father, would you cause them, this generation to come together and that Lord, that you would bind them together, that you would cause the growth, that you would cause the renewal. And that Lord, that not just the bringing together of a body, but you said that Lord, that you breathed in them the breath of life, Lord, just like you did to Adam, Lord, just like you did to that first man. God Father, I thank youk. You want to breathe Lord, would you'd breathe breathe life into this generation, Lord, that is far the generation that is dry. The generation that has been scattered. The generation that does not know the way forward. Thank youk Lord Jesus, you are the way forward. So Father, we just want to say God, our purpose is not to create a movement.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:46:42]:
Our purpose is to flow. Follow your lead Father, our purpose is to declare your name. Our purpose, Lord is to rise up and take our place, Lord, wherever you set us Lord. Father, we just take that place. And Father, would you just pour an outpouring of your spirit Lord, on every person who names the name of Jesus? Lord, in our church family? And Father, would it just not be our church family? Lord, would it be every church family that names the name of Jesus? That Father, that follows the living God that knows the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. God, we're praying that Lord, every church, would you prosper Every church on the leeward side, would you prosper? Freedom church God, would you prosper? Inspire Lord, would you prosper? New hope leeward Lord, would you prosper? God squad Lord, would you prosper? Lord, every church on the leeward side, Lord, our great Grace Church, Lord, our Lord, the Pearlside Church. Father, would you prosper every church, Lord, that names the name of Jesus? Because, Father, we thank you that there's. Although we have different congregations, there's only one church, only one bride.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:47:58]:
It's called the Body of Christ, Lord, and thank you that we are part of that body. And Father, we stand in agreement. And, and thank you, Lord, for how you've been moving. God, that we give praise that for our sister who got a new job at Home Depot. And Lord, that I know it's been a long battle, but Lord, it's not just getting the job. But Lord, I pray that would you prosper her in that job, Lord, would she have a teachable spirit in that job? And Lord, that although there will be things that she will not agree with, Lord, I pray that your focus would be on the things that Lord, she can agree with. And, and Father, the things that sometimes we need to learn by just saying, God, I take on the spirit of a learner in that place. So would you bless her in that place? And Father, we're praying, Father, for our brother who has some physical infirmities and some mental and spiritual issues that are going on.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:48:49]:
And Father, I pray that in his new home with his daughter, Lord, that you would bless him. And Father, would you just raise him up, God, would you raise him up? Would you. Would you cause him to raise up from his bed just like you called Peter's mom, Lord, Peter's mother in law who was sick and feverish in bed, but at the nay, at the word of Jesus, Lord, she rose up and served you, Father, would you raise up Danny that he might serve you, that he might seek you, that, Father, he might declare your goodness. And Father, that would you can by your compassion, God, cover him. And Father, we're praying that, Lord, our sister who's going to a neurologist tomorrow and she's looking for a solution, Lord, I don't know if the doctor has a solution. I thank youk. You have the solution. Father, would you'd just make it known, God, whether you use the neurologist or you use something else, Lord, but just make it known, God, thank youk that there is an answer, Father, although she doesn't know the answer, that other doctors may not have known the answer.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:49:50]:
We, we thank youk. You have an answer. And so, Father, we just say be restored, be strengthened. We say to our sister, Lord, and Father, we're praying for, Lord, a person that was just yelling at customers today. And Lord, that I guess, Lord, it says that she clearly needs Jesus. And sometimes, Lord, we just confess that even as followers of Jesus, we really need Jesus. And so, Lord, we don't. I don't know if this is a person who doesn't know you at all or just wasn't acting out of.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:50:27]:
Was acting out of character. But, Father, we just pray for that. Pray for that woman. We pray for that lady. We pray for that sister and Father, we pray that, Lord, more than our flesh, Lord, more than our scripts that we've encountered through life, Father, that Lord, when you see our sin. Thank you. You call us by name. Would you call this lady by name, Lord? Would you call her to yourself? Father, Would you say that there's a different way? Father, would you say there's a different life, Father, would you tell her, Lord, that there can be a renewal and a hope and a strength that's within and that.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:51:00]:
Would you tell her, Lord, that this doesn't have to be your life because there's a better life for her. And Father, I pray, Lord, that you would bring people around who, if she's just weak, if she's just down, if she's just separated, Lord, that she get connected. Those who could speak life into her, speak hope into her, that bring encouragement to her. Father, would you thank you, Lord, that even the apostle Paul, there was a humbling Lord. There was a humbling, Lord. He was knocked off his high horse. And sometimes, Lord, you allow that to happen because we're so full of ourselves, Lord, that sometimes we need to be humbled so, Lord, that we can receive another way. And Father, I'm not asking that for her.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:51:47]:
But Lord, you know what she needs. Give her what she needs. But Father, we thank you, Lord, that you said that you give grace to the humble Lord. And so we pray grace for this lady. But you oppose the proud. But Father, I thank you. A proud person when they humble themselves, Lord, that you become for them. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:52:11]:
So we just pray for that. Pray for that, Sister and Father, that this evening, as we're moving forward, Lord, we just thank you, Lord, that if you've been struggling, you've been battling, and sometimes you feel like man, I don't know if my prayer has been. Then moving forward. It's just been a powerful thought to me this. This last day or so that Jesus lives. Thank you, Lord Jesus, you live to make intercession. You said continually before the Father. If you're at that place that you don't know if your prayers are effective, you're at that Place you don't know if those Would you just say, Lord, would you make intercession for me, Jesus, would you make intercession for me, Father, would you make intercession in my marriage for me, Lord, would you make intercession in my a ministry for me, Lord, Would you make intercession in my future for me? Would you make intercession in my health for me, Lord, Would you make intercession in my kingdom, Lord? Assignment God, would you make an intercession for me? Because Lord, we're thankful that what you say matters so much more than what we say.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:53:23]:
But Lord, what we say matters. What we say matters, Lord, Death and life are in the power of the tongue. But with our tongue we just say, God, thank youk that yout can make intercession for us, Lord. We have lifted, we have prayed, we believe. But Lord, we're asking that Lord, would you'd also make the intercession for us. So Father, we receive that, Lord. We thank youk for it. We thank youk just for the power.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:53:48]:
Because you don't just call us. You don't just call us sinners, Lord. You don't just call us lost people. You don't just call us people who are desperate, Lord. You don't call us people who are broken. What you call us is sons and daughters. So, Father, today we rise up as sons and daughters, Father. We draw close as sons and daughters, Father.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:54:09]:
Today we say, God, I want to take the mantle that you've given me, Father. Fill me with your spirit, Lord. I can be more than an overcomer, Lord, because the living God lives in me. I receive that today, Father. I believe that today, Father, I speak that over my life. Today, Father, I thank youk that, Lord, there might be blessings and cursings, but yout say, choose life. Because, Lord, that in that life, Lord, there is blessing. So, Father, we take that today we receive it in Jesus name.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:54:35]:
God's people say Amen. Amen. Hey, God bless you guys. Thanks so much for joining us. Tonight was such an amazing message. Thank you so much, Imelda. But we look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow. Same time, same bat cave? No, same channel.

Pastor Glenn Yamaguchi [00:54:49]:
No, but come join us. Whether in the house or online. We'll see you guys tomorrow night. God bless you. Have a great night.
