Opening Hymn: The lord is my sheopard by Jessie Irvine:
1 The Lord’s my shepherd; I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
e’en for his own name’s sake;
within the paths of righteousness,
e’en for his own name’s sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear no ill;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still;
for thou art with me, and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me,
and in God’s house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be;
and in God’s house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.
This sunday we are remembering 9-11 and the family members that struggle every year because of it, and any survivors of it. We pray for those family members to have peace during this time of remembrance. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Also, please be aware for the U.K this week, as well as parts of the U.S. that they own. This is because Queen Elizabeth II has passed away as of This past Thursday at the age of 96. Please keep praying for the Royal family. They have been great friends over many years.
Note; Please read this carefully, however we have highlighted important points. This sermon is important to all of us.
On Tuesday we discussed how to think positive in a very negative world. How you do this is to find a silver lining in anything negative to help you think positive. That is one method to help you stay positive. The other method is praying to the Lord and give him all your problems and he will give you his peace. Ask Your Heavenly Father to help you think positive when you are in negative times. The minute it starts ask him to help you think positive.
We also discussed about the holy fire. Now, the holy fire is something that Our Lord and savior uses on New christians, or people that are trying to become christians and cannot on thier own, or someone that has an illness in them and wants to help get it out. It is a very good thing, and tool to use, and only he can use it. It is used for correction because people are very stubborn, and he wants the person to become his image, and they are having a hard time doing so. So sometimes he uses it for molding too. It is not a bad thing, unless you do not become a christian, or do not want to, then it could be a bad thing.
We also talked about inner stregnth. Where when your physical body is enduring so much that when it cannot take it anymore, your inner man, or spirit through your heavenly father gives you the strength to push on. This will happen when you are already a child of Our Heavenly Father. He is always trying to get your attention to become a child of his. You also learned about living life for your Heavenly Father. Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Our Heavenly Father watches over all of us. Of course he will take care of our needs and wants, and long as we do what he wants and follow him, no matter what way. Always get into the bible. If you do not have one, look at all the past lessons that are the bible chapters and many verses. Also remember all the lessons we did about how to be stronger with Our Heavenly Father and be a child of his.
One thing we have found over the years is that people trust our Heavenly father, but do not seem to know how to show it. we are not going to teach you how to show it, but the importance of doing it. your heavenly father is your creator, gives you everything you have, is the one that is there to be a friend, lives within you, and talk to you and guide you, so, why would you not trust him? Is it because you do not really believe in him, or is it because you cannot see him? but he makes it very easy to trust him. When you feel down, that voice inside gives you encouragement, and helps you. that is your heavenly father. he always knows what is good for you. sometimes if you read his word, that is his word, and he is showing you how to trust him. learn to trust your heavenly father, and you will end up opening up a peaceful life, if you trust and beleive in him. he will give you what is good for you. if you ask him to help you with something he will be glad to help you, but you have to trust him.
Comment: The most important thing in your life is for you to trust your heavenly father and believe in him and his son Jesus christ. Not the earthly things, just that. of course you may need the earthly stuff, but you are not supposed to pay attention much to that, spend more time with him in your leisure time rather than leisure time. he may lead you into fun, and into enjoyment. that is why he developed the world this way.
Closing Hymn: God of Glory and Grace by Harry Emerson;
God of grace and God of glory,
on your people pour your pow’r;
crown your ancient Church’s story,
bring its bud to glorious flow’r.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us
scorn the Christ, assail his ways.
From the fears that long have bound us
free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.
3 Cure your children’s warring madness;
bend our pride to your control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the gift of your salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
serving you whom we adore,
serving you whom we adore.
Closing prayer; Heavenly Father we pray that on this unusual day in history and because of The late Queen Elizabeth II. We pray that all the survivors of that can all mourn in peace as they change their lives around and keep the country of England strong. We also pray for the people that are mourning for any of the death of loved ones, including 9-11 in 2001. We thank you for helping the people with grieving from the loss of a friend, and we thank you for your comforting during this time of trial for these people. We ask if anyone that does not understand this, that Jesus and The Holy spirit can help them understand it. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
those who wish to become a child of our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Heavenly Father: I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”
