We're reading a scripture for today. It's found in Isaiah chapter number 53 verses 1 through 6. If you have your Bible, please open your word. If you have your phone, find it on your phone, wherever. This is a very important scripture for today. Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground. He has no farm nor commoners. And when we shall see him, there is no beauty. We shall desire him. He is despised and rejected of men. A man of sorrow and acquainted with grief. And we hear as it were our faces from him. He was despised and we esteem him not. Surely he has bored our grief and carried our sorrow. Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. Hallelujah, hallelujah. But he was wounded for our transgression. And he was bruised for our nicotine. The chest spines of our peace was upon him. And with his stripes we are healed. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, glory. All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord has laid on him the aniquities of us all. Let's say amen to the reading of the Word. Hallelujah. Our God is not dead. He is alive. Hallelujah. And I thank God for all that he did for us on Calvary. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus, by his blood. And by his blood, where why we have the victory not whole. Hallelujah, hallelujah. He has been given a name above every name. Hallelujah that every knee should bow and every tongue confess. What a beautiful name. The name of Jesus. Hallelujah. What a beautiful name. What a beautiful name it is. The name of Jesus Christ our. What a beautiful name it is. Nothing compares to this. What a beautiful name it is. The name of Jesus. You were the Word at the beginning. You're hidden in gloration. Now we think what a beautiful name it is. What a beautiful cry. Beautiful name. Nothing compares to this. What a beautiful name it is. The name of Jesus. You didn't want heaven without us. So Jesus, you brought him. My sin was great. Your love was greater. What could say? What a wonderful name it is. What a wonderful name it is. The name of Jesus Christ our. What a wonderful name it is. What a wonderful, what a wonderful name it is. What a wonderful, what a wonderful name it is. What a beautiful name it is. The name of Jesus Christ our. What a beautiful name it is. Just think on that. Hallelujah. How much power there is in the name of Jesus. Thank you. Hallelujah. There's no one like our Lord. There's none beside him. There's none above him. Hallelujah. All power is in his hands. Yes, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Is your name, your name, a strong tongue? Your name is strength. Your name is strength. A strong tongue. Is your name. Just think about the blood that was shed. Your name is strength. A strong tongue. The blood that was shed for us of Jesus. Salvation. Is your name, the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. At this time, we ask that you stay in the presence of the Lord as we have our solo by Sister Amber White. Praise the Lord, everybody. Amen. How many is glad that the Lord is alive today? Amen. And we magnify the Lord on Resurrection Sunday. How many are glad? These are forgiven. Amen. Jesus is alive. Yes, he died on Calvary's Cross, but it didn't end there. It's celebrating time today. Come on. Stand on your feet. Stand on your feet. Let's give God some glory. Praise him. Come to celebrate Resurrection today. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He's great. Need to be praised. Hallelujah. I feel him in this place today. Come on, somebody. I feel him. He's here. The people of God can come and celebrate the greatest miracle that has ever been. Everybody doesn't. In spite of the fact, in spite of this sunrise morning on Easter morning, Jesus got up from the grave, witnessed the court scene where he was fourth, and we saw him as they hung him on the tree. They chose Barabbas as opposed to Jesus, but Barabbas being a murderer. Just interject this as it comes to my mind. If you're doing the same thing everybody else is doing, you're doing the wrong thing because all of the people said, when they said, what must we do with Jesus? They said crucify all the people. They took him. They beat him all night long. They spat on him. They pulled his beard. They accused him on and on and on. You know the story of the crucifixion. The crucifixion was a great sacrifice that was paid for our sins, but the crucifixion wasn't the main part. Jesus says that I'm going to rise again on the third day, so it would not have been beneficial to us if he was only crucified. The fact that he says, I'm going to get up out of my grave. He didn't fight it. He said in the garden, he said to God, not my will, but your will be done in me. What the will of God was for him was that he would live a sacrificial life. He had no sin and he gave his life for us. I'll call your attention this morning to the scripture that is found in John chapter number 20. I'm going to read, going to be a little bit of reading today. I'm going to read beginning at verse number one, John chapter 20 verse one. It said, the first day of the week, cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark unto the sepulchre, and see at the stone taken away from the sepulchre, then she runneth and come to Simon Peter, the other disciples whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, they have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre. And we know not whether they have taken, they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth and other disciples came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together and other disciples did outrun Peter and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooped down and looked in, saw the linen cloth lying yet when he had not. Then cometh Simon Peter, Peter followed him and went into the sepulchre and see if the linen cloth lie. The napkin that was about his head not lying with the linen cloth but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in all the other disciples which came first to the sepulchre and he saw and believed for as yet they knew not the sepulchre that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. Now I'm not going to spend a lot of time didacting this portion. When I want to make an emphasis on, I use that as a base for the text for this morning. The text is found in John chapter 20 verses 11 through 18. I have some water please. All right, beginning at verse 11. It said, but Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping. As she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre. Now the disciples, when they heard that Jesus was not in the tomb, they ran to sea. But Mary lingered. Mary says, I'm trying to figure this out. And it says that Mary wept. Mary didn't just sniffle a little bit. It wasn't a little tear just fell down. Mary loved her Lord and she bawled. She cried and she harked and she started. She wept. And see, when she stepped and looked into the sepulchre, she said, if two angels in white city, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they said unto her, woman, why weep it now? She said unto them, because they have taken away my Lord. And I know not where they have laid him. When she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing and knew not that it was Jesus. And I love this part. Jesus said unto her, woman, why weep is thou? What are you crying about, woman? Whom seeketh thou? She supposed him to be the gardener and said unto him, sir, if thou hath borne him hence, tell me where thou hath laid him, and I will take him away. And Jesus said unto her, Mary, she turned herself and said unto him, Rabboni, which is to say master, Jesus said unto her, touch me not, for I'm not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brethren, go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend into my Father and your Father and to my God and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things unto her. Now I'll expound just a minute, verse 17, where Jesus said unto her, touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. According to the study, it says that Mary was so excited when she found out, when she realized who she was talking to and who was conversing with her. She was so excited, she fell at his feet and began to hold cling to his feet. And Jesus said, no, no, that's not it. That's not where it is right now. He said, I've got to go back to my Father. And so Mary, verse 18, Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things to her. Now, looking back in my life, in our youth growing up, I have a large family for those of you who don't know. I'm number 14 of 16 children. And it was kind of rough around our house sometimes, from time to time, when you had some good news that nobody else knew. You came and you wanted to expound. You wanted to bring something that they would be glad to hear. And so when I'm thinking, when Mary Magdalene went back and told the disciples, I'm thinking they may have verbalized what we used to do, who we used to do and say, that what does that have to do with me? Or either we would say, so what? So I'm going to talk about the so what of the resurrection. See, we were lost in sin, born in sin and shaping in iniquity. And we didn't love God. We didn't love his people. We hated his word because it went against our natural instinct. So something had to happen. We're God's greatest creation. Mankind was the greatest thing God made when he created the heaven and the earth, then he created man and woman. And we were made for his glory, but somewhere along the way, somewhere along the way, Adam and Eve got out of their self, they got out of their senses and got into their flesh and they sinned against God. God told them, don't eat off of that tree. And they listened. She listened. The devil said, he just don't want you to know what he knows. That tree's got some knowledge in it. You know, what you need to do is you need to get you some knowledge on your own. You need to be your own person. Come on, somebody. If you're your own person, let me tell you today, you're in bad shape. See, you were born in sin and sin can't enter into heaven. Come on, somebody. God says there'll be no sin in not in my house, not in the kingdom that I built. He said, I go to prepare a place for my people, for my brothers and for my sisters, that where I am, they may be also hallelujah, hallelujah. So the thing is when they turn against God, God threw them out of the garden. And now I want to help you, perhaps you may not know how many places there, there will be for you to go or head to when you close your eyes in death. There's one way up and there's another way down. It's heaven or it's hell. Now, Jesus didn't create these great women and men, boys and girls. He didn't create us so that we could go to the lake of fire. He created us so that he could be glorified through us. So we could be what he wanted us to be. He called us all with purpose and he gave us an assignment. You have an assignment. Hello, somebody. You have you have an assignment that you couldn't have met the qualifications or you couldn't have met the desire to do it without the Holy Spirit. Come on, somebody. So now what I want to do is at this point I want to go to, don't worry. We're not going to be too long. Go to 2 Corinthians chapter number five. There's a remedy for our sickness. There's a remedy for our sin. The scripture said, by his stripes, we are healed. That means we have an illness and it was not talking about healing in your physical body. He said, by his stripes, you are healed of your sin sick soul. He said, something can be done about where you are and you need to recognize who it is, who's able to do it, who's ever to turn your stuff around and cause you to walk up right like you know you all to cause every man was born with a conscious given by God and God says, you got to do what I said do or you won't be in my presence. Hallelujah. Oh, I want to see him. I want to look upon his face there to sing forever of his saving grace. He gave saving grace, grace that we didn't deserve. We were born in sin and we had a price to pay and the penalty for sin is death. Death. You were born with a rap sheet. You were headed for the big house. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. But Jesus wouldn't have it be so. Second Corinthians chapter five said, therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. All things have passed away. Behold, all things are become new. He says, when you come to Jesus, when you come to the one who paid the price for your sins, my sins, for every man's sin, when you come to him, he said, I will give you absolution from your sin. He said, I went to Calvary Cross and I paid the debt that you owed. You owed a debt that you couldn't pay without losing your life throughout all of eternity. He said, but I wouldn't have it to be because I love you. I love you enough that I'll give myself. I'll do it myself. I'll take your time. I'll take the rap for you. Come on somebody. Hallelujah. Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for Jesus. You know, he didn't have to do it because he committed no sin. He knew no sin. Match that. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I thank God for the resurrection. Hallelujah. Because of the reaction, there is an opportunity for us to become new creatures. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. All things have passed away. All your line, all your stealing, all your fornicating, all your doping, all your whatever you was doing. He said, you can be made new. Come on. Clap your hands. Come on. I need y'all to help me with this. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. All things are passed away. All the stuff you used to had to do. You got to can't help it. I'm trying to behave. I'm trying to do it right. But I just can't help. This is who I am. I was born this way. How about that's a lie. Amen. All things are passed away. All you got to do is give your old stuff up. Come on. Surrender. Surrender your will. Not your will, but the will of God needs to be done in our hearts and in our lives. Oh, I thought this was a celebration. Anybody celebrating with me? Hallelujah. Thank God. Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for a way out. He's a way maker and all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ. He reconciled. He made things right with us. We didn't make it right with him. He called us to come make it right. But he said, I'm willing to make it right for you. Hallelujah. And so that's called reconciliation. Now, in order to reconcile, there has to be a separation in the attitudes of the people. See, Jesus Christ is the righteous one. Remember, he didn't sin, but we did. We did plenty of it. We sinned and every time we sinned, we were standing right in his face and said, I ain't taking what you say. You can't make me do it. So we were in enmity with God. Everything God said, we said, no, we ain't doing that. Did y'all know that? Y'all know that's what we'd be doing? Excuse my ebonics. What we'd be doing when you trespass the law of God, you're saying, I ain't going to do it. You can't make me do it. It's my life. It's my life. I'll do what I want to with it. Well, I'll tell you what, he controls your next breath. Come on, somebody. He doesn't have to give you your next. How about that being not your life? Your life is gone at the snap of your finger. Thank you. Life is like a vapor. You know what a vapor does. Vapor goes up and it goes so quickly, you can't tell when it left. So that's one thing to consider when we have, when we take a claim to our life. This is my life. I live my life the way I want to live it. You don't have to. You don't have to. You don't have to live the life you want to live. All you got to do is humble yourself before God, throw yourself at the feet of Jesus and say, Lord, I thank you for the sacrifice you made at Calvary. I thank you because you let them drive those nails in your hands and the nails in your feet and the spear in your side. I thank you that you stood for that. I thank you that you loved me that much that I don't have to keep doing all of this crazy stuff. I know what I'm doing. I know I shouldn't be doing it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I have reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ and have given to us the ministry of reconciliation. He said, you have the ministry. In other words, you're authorized to do reconciliation. You need to reconcile yourself with God and you need to become what I heard one preacher say when I was a boy. He said, I'm a yes man. Come on somebody and you know, don't man want to be a yes man other than him and maybe me. He said, I'm a yes man. He said everything God says, I say yes to it. Yes to your will. Yes to your way. Yes night. Yes day. Whatever you say, Lord, I say yes to your will. I humble myself. It's not about me. It's about you. You're my creator. You're my savior. You're my keeper. Verse 19 to wit that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. Let me stop right there. Oh boy. Oh my, my, my. You know, sometimes we get excited when we see in the throwaway papers there's a great bargain. It's a great deal. Oh, I can't miss this. I'm getting a hurry. I ain't got tomorrow. I'm going to run down to the bank. I'm going to run to the ATM and I'm going to get out some money and I'm not going to let this part, this, this bargain get past me. Come on somebody. He's, when we understand that Jesus said, I'm going to impute your trespasses. He said, I'm not going to even count the things that you did while you were walking in sin. Come on somebody. Somebody need to shout. Somebody need to praise God. Thank you Jesus. Because you know, I know that I've done enough. I know that you've done enough. We've all done enough to inherit eternal damnation in hell. But God says, because you came to me, because I loved you and you turn around and you fell in love with me. He said, because you now in, in love with me, you're a new creature. All things have been passed away and everything, everything has become new. And he said, I'm not going to even charge you for it. Hallelujah. He said, I'm not going to give me an early out of jail. He said, I ain't going to even charge you for it. You didn't have to do that. He could have charged us. Hallelujah. Not impute their trespasses unto them and have committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. He said, since the Lord turned your life around, he said, when he came into your heart, when he began to order your steps, he said, now you're my ambassador. And an ambassador, when he goes, he represents another. And he says to, to the people he's speaking to, he says the exact message of the man who sent him. Come on, somebody. An ambassador doesn't have any words of his own. He says what the boss said for him to say. Come on, somebody. He said, so now I made it possible for you to join in the work of building the kingdom. Now y'all can, y'all can sit back in your seat now. The rough part is over. He said, now I've called you to the team. He said, I'm building a new people. And those that I'm building, he said, there are many, many of them and I'm going to authorize you. I'm going to make you an ambassador. I'm going to have you carry my word and I want you to tell somebody. I need somebody to tell everybody. He said, because it is open for every man, woman, boy or girl, but I need a witness. I need somebody to tell it. Tell it wherever you go. Now then, we're ambassadors for Christ as though God did beseech you by us. We pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. Now that's the message today, what I want us to grab ahold of. He wants you. He wants you. He said, I don't care where you are. I don't care what you've done. I don't care what you've gone through. He said, I want you. Now it's not Uncle Sam. This is, this is our God and our Father. He said, I want you. He said, I love you enough. He said, I died for you. I didn't, I didn't die for y'all. I died for you. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Thank you for dying for my sins. He says, be reconciled unto God. He said, stop saying no to God. Stop trying to show how bad you are. When God's talking to you, there ain't no time for you to be talking bad to God. Scripture said, the day that you hear my voice, heartin' not your heart. You ain't bad. I'll tell you one thing. You gettin' to fight with him. You gonna lose. You will lose. I ain't guessin'. I'm a prophet. You will lose. Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for the resurrection. Oh, I'm excited about the resurrection. If he hadn't got up, we'd be on our own and we'd have to pay the full price. Hallelujah. But thank God, he got up out of the grave. Just like he said, he rose again my soul to say, glory, glory, hallelujah to the Lamb of God. The Lamb of God who taken away the sins of the world. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. I'm so glad. Anybody here glad? Hallelujah. Do you feel what I feel right about now? Do you feel like you got a chance? Do you feel like you got it made? Hallelujah. You have salvation when the Spirit of God comes into you, when your sins are washed away and you have the Spirit of God abiding in your heart. You have salvation. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. For he has made him to be sin for us. He made him. God made Jesus his only begotten son. God made him to be sin for us. Hallelujah. He didn't know sin. It was something brand new for him to be on earth among sin. And when he was on earth, everybody was sinning. Everybody's doing their own thing, but he didn't experience it. He said, I came to be a perfect sacrifice. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank God. He was a perfect sacrifice. Hallelujah. He didn't have to say, well, I did the best I could. He didn't say, I almost got a hundred on my test. He was knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Come on somebody. Anybody want to be saved? Anybody want to go to heaven? Anybody want to be a part of the righteousness of God? Oh, thank you Jesus. Well, so what I want to say is, I have to thank God for the resurrection. Thank God that he had the power to get himself up out of that grave. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. I can say some more y'all. Hallelujah. It's good. This is a good deal. It's a good deal. Can I encourage you? Now sometimes, you know, it's kind of tough being a preacher because you got to say what the man who sent you as an ambassador told you to say. But guess what? I don't care. I'm doing what he said do. He told me what to say and I said it. Huh? Hallelujah. Thine the glory. Hallelujah. Amen. Hallelujah. Thine the glory. Revive us. We need a revival. We need to come down and fall on our face before the master and tell him, Lord, take me and use me as you will. Whatever you want from me, whatever you want my attitude to be, change me. Holy, creating me unclean, harder, renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence. I want to be yours. I want to be used by you. Come on, First Lady. This message itself has been all to call already itself. But the thing about it, it's not time to be your own person and it's not time in these days to live your life like you want to live. When you look at things like I was off for seven months from church, I looked at church, but when you look at news and all that kind of stuff, Ukraine and Russia, you in it, you in Ross, I mean, in Ross shopping and you can get killed while you're in the waiting room, not knowing. You can be riding down the street, somebody on a freeway shoot at you. It is not time to do your own thing nowadays. It is too, I mean, it's just not time. And the thing about it, when Jesus come, he's going to come for those who are righteous. See, in Jesus, in Jesus, there's a safety nest. You under a umbrella of protection. And the thing about it, even if you something happened to you while you under the umbrella of protection, guess what? You know where you're going. You don't have to worry about it. But if you're not under the umbrella of protection, you know where you're going to. Like Bishop said, there's only two places heaven or hell. And the thing about it, talking about the resurrection, we who are saved is going to be in that great resurrection. When Jesus burst the cloud, we're going to get up out of the grave and those of us who are not dead, guess what's going to happen? We're going to resurrect with him. But those who don't know the Lord is not going to have that opportunity. So this message was an altar call message, really, trying to get us ready for Jesus. You know, some people don't believe that Jesus really come in. But whose reporter are you going to believe? You're going to believe the world? Or are you going to believe God? Are you going to believe the Bible? Are you going to believe the world? Well, I'm too young to be saved. I have lived my life. Oh, yes, you have. Because guess what? Young people dying every day, every day. I mean, innocent people, not knowing, you know, nothing, think they're safety. You could be in your own home and die. So what that's being for us, we got to be ready. We got to be ready for it soon coming at all times because he is coming back. And those of us who's not strong in the Lord, guess what? It's time to stop playing church. Why would we come here Sunday after Sunday after Sunday after Sunday and end up going to hell? Why would we do that? Because we live in one way in the church and one way outside the church. God don't want that. We got to be ready at all times to meet the Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah. When we sin, Jesus knew no sin, but when we sin, we sin against God. Every sin we commit is not against flesh and blood, but it's up against God. Everything we do wrong is against God. And God is the one that's going to repair us back. So I'm here for the altar call. And if there's anybody in this audience who have not accepted Jesus as your savior, who don't know Jesus and for the pardon of your sins, who have not been baptized in his name, who have not been filled with the Holy Ghost, guess what? Now is the opportunity for you to come forth if you want to do that. And those who are weak, those who are not where they're supposed to be because if Jesus come today, could you answer that question to yourself? Will I go to heaven if he comes today? Is my life right for me to go to heaven if he come? Have I asked God to forgive me for the things I done last night or the things I even did today? So we need to all come to the altar since this is a resurrection Sunday. We need to come and ask God to forgive us for all the things we've done wrong, all of our sins, all the sins we've committed before him, to him, because it's to God that we sin and we commit those sins. Amen? David said, it's you, oh Lord, that I have sinned against. It's not about me. It's you I've sinned against. So I'm asking those who don't know the Lord or those who are weak, those who are weak in your spirit and want to get closer to God. I'm asking you to come forward if there's anybody. I'm not going to beg you because guess what? It's a personal decision. It's a personal decision decide if you want to be with the Lord or not. It's something you got to make your own mind up and I'm not going to beg you to come. So if anybody want to come, you can come down. If not, those who are weak in that spirit need to come down. Those who don't know the Lord need to come down because tomorrow is not promised to us. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Minister Amber, I know you can sing, but it's time for you to work to altar. Work to altar, dear. I'm sorry. The Lord has given us a chance, given us one more chance. He's given us one more chance to get it right. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. We thank the Lord for those who came to the altar and we know that some of those who came don't know the Lord, but I hope that something was said to break your heart and cause you to want to seek the Lord and cause you to want to walk with the Lord because it pays to serve Jesus. Amen. It pays to serve Jesus because everything is in Jesus. Safety is in Jesus. Healing is in Jesus. Protection is in Jesus. Provision is in Jesus. Deliverance is in Jesus. Everything is in Jesus and it pays to serve him. Amen. Now, let's give ourselves a hand clap. Amen. At this time, we're going to prepare to receive the communion officials come to the table. All right. The scripture reads, The Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. You may stand. As we come down, let's see why don't we pass the tray? Let's pass the tray. Mr. Bruce, why don't you go to the other end? Let's just pass it down and we'll receive it. Dr. Sykes, you stay on. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. We do this in remembrance of Jesus, the great sacrifice that he paid. It soothes my doubt. It soothes. I know the blood gives me strength. Reaches to the highest mountain that you shed on Calvary Cross for us. We thank you for your blood and we thank you, Lord God, that we can partake of your blood, Lord God, and your body, Lord God. Oh God, you was beaten, taken of your blood and your body today, Lord God. Help us, Lord God, to always remember, Lord God, that is the blood that gives life. It is the blood thanking we praise you, Lord God. We ask you to bless everyone that's going to partake of this, oh God, in the name of Jesus, Lord God, help us, Lord God, to surrender our lives in totality to you. In Jesus' name, we pray, amen. Hallelujah. It reaches to the highest mountain for information. This is a new. I know it was the blood. I know it was the blood. I know it was the blood for one day when I was lost. He died upon the cross. I know it was the blood for me. Oh yes, I know it was the blood. Blood came streaming down. Blood came streaming down. The blood came streaming down. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now, let's make it really personal, just for me. Jesus came and did it, just for me. Come on, come on. Jesus came and did your hands together. Thank God for the blood. Thank God for his precious blood. And the scripture said, and they sang a song and went out. We've sang our song. You may go out. Oh no, you can't go out yet. They sang a song and took the offering out. You may bring your offering now. Come on, bring your offering, bring your offering. Jesus, we thank you, we praise you, we glorify you, we magnify your name. We thank you for this offering, Lord God. We ask that you continue, Lord God, to multiply, Lord God. Let it continue, Lord God, to meet every need, Lord God, in the name of Jesus, Lord God. We ask you to bless those that are able to give, Lord God. And Lord, those that wasn't able to give this time, make a way the next time, Lord God, that they may be able to give and get in, Lord God, on this blessing, Lord God. You should say, give, and it shall be given back to them with good measures. Press down, shaking together, running over, shall men give unto their bosom. We thank and we praise you. Lord, we thank you for this word that came forth today, Lord God. We thank you, Lord God, that we partake of this communion, Lord God. The blood, the body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Lord God. We thank you, Lord God, for allowing us to celebrate the resurrection, Lord God, of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Lord, if it had not been for you, where would we be, Lord God, in Jesus' name? Lord, we ask you to bring us back at your own appointed time with victory in our hearts. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen.
