He will not suffer thy foot to be moved. He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper. The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even for ever more. Amen. Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. The Lord is our keeper and he shall preserve us. What a mighty mighty God we serve. Welcome to the Lord for his grace and for his wonderful God. Bless his holy name. Amen. This morning we have a solo by one and only minister Amber Wise. Amen. Please greet her. Nobody deserves the praise but the Lord. Amen. Worship with us as we sing this morning. All the glory belongs. All the glory belongs. I bless you. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Okay. Thanks unto the Lord. It is to be in the house of the Lord. He's consistent. Every try. He's defeated. He's hooked in Jesus' name. I thank the Lord that we're able to be here today and I thank the Lord for your cooperation. I'm looking and I see one person or two people who don't have a mask on that's on your face. If you've got it on your on your chin or under your chin, around your throat, put it on your face. Amen. There are many many churches today that are closed as a result of the resurgence of the virus and I thank the Lord that he's blessed us. He's kept us. We've had a few occurrences. We have as you may notice, Elder Ross is not here today. He has COVID. He's doing fine. Sister Doris. Sister Delores. She's got COVID. She's doing just fine. Minister Arlene and Deacon, Dandridge and Brock. They have COVID and they're doing just fine. Come on somebody. Thank God for the victory. Jesus met Satan along the way and he said, What are you doing? Where are you going? He said, I'm going to and fro. I'm going up and down through the earth and I'm seeking who I can devour. He said, I want to see who I can have for my lunch, but we thank God that we have victory in Jesus. We've got victory in Jesus, not by anything that we've done by a victory that comes to us through Jesus Christ, our savior. I'm so glad to see each of you. Amen. All right. That makes me happy. You all glad to see me too. All right. Today I want to call your attention to the Psalm, Psalm number 24. I thank the Lord because my wife is here and she's doing just fine. Amen. You know, she's a miracle, you all. Amen. The Lord keeps on. The Lord keeps on healing her body. Come on, I have to let you all know that it's my opinion that the Lord keeps healing her body because of her attitude. Amen. Her attitude is I will not be defeated with God on my side. The Lord will make a way. The Lord will bring me out. I praise God for her witness and for her testimony, the mighty workings of Jesus Christ, the righteous who is a healer. Jesus is a healer. The world doesn't believe that the song says Jesus heals all the time. Heal the sick, raise the dead. There's no reason to be afraid because Jesus is a healer and he does it all the time. Thank God. Thank God. Thank God for Jesus. In Psalm, the Psalm number 24 today, the Lord is going to perhaps increase our understanding concerning this particular text. And as I study this text, I find that what is being stated by the Psalmist, David, Psalm says you need to take a lesson. You need to know who God is and you need to know how to reverence your God. So this lesson helps us to understand our position with God and helps us to understand who we are and who are we not. The Psalmist, David writes, and he wants to help us to understand what God is and what God means to us. And so I'm using today for my title, the King is Coming. When we get the opportunity to meet an important leader or celebrity, most of us are excited. Spend a good bit of time and energy getting prepared. Man, it will try on different clothes before finally selecting what they'll wear. And I know we're all aware of that. Others carefully rehearse what they'll say. Some actually stand in front of a mirror to practice mannerism, gestures, smiles. We do these things because we want to be at our very best when meeting someone who is considered important. I recall as many years now ago, when the President of the country, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, when he met with the NBA champions at the White House, and I won't call his name, but one of the players was doing just such a thing as I just proposed to you. He was thinking of what he was going to say. He wanted to be ready when he got to speak to the President. President Kennedy came to him, extended his hand, and he opened his mouth, and what came out was, what's up, baby? In spite of what he had practiced in his mind that he was going to say at the opportune time for his speech, he only had, what's up, baby? He lost his cool. And so now the psalmist, David, is telling us, when you meet one who's of great statue and great reputation, he said, you got to know what you're supposed to do. You got to know who you are. You can't be afraid. You can't be rattled. You can't be shaken into what's up, baby. You got to meet that person appropriately. Thank you very much. I hope it'll help. The psalmist says, in verse number one, he said, what you need to do, acknowledge who the Lord is. Now, when we say Lord, what does that mean? Lord means who's the boss? So he said, acknowledge the Lord. He said, the earth is the Lord. The phone is there are the world and they that dwell therein. He says this place didn't come into being. The world didn't come into being by some explosion. He said, the earth belongs to God. And he said, not only does the earth belong to God, he said, but the fullness thereof. And what that points to is, he said, you see the earth en masse of land. He said, but there's great other sources, great other things that he created which includes below the sea. So he says, what you're looking at and what you find so interesting in many instances and how it pleases you for your sight, he said, there's much that you've never even seen. I had an experience once when I went to Hawaii. I went snarkling. I put on my face piece. I went down and it blew my mind just as light as light can be and beautiful fish of all shapes and colors. And I go, wow. So David says, don't limit God to what you can see from where you stand. Don't decide that God is only capable of doing what he's done on top of the earth, on the land. He said, he created the heavens and the earth. He created the world and all the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. Now, who does this include? That means everybody that dwell on your street, the world and they that live in your house. Everybody, everything belongs to God. You don't know nothing. Come on somebody. The Lord lends you stuff while you here. And he said, you can't take it with you. He said, because the earth is mine. He said, the earth is mine. So what we have to adjust our thinking to is not getting caught up in stuff. You know, when I was a boy back in the 40s, 1944, we didn't live luxuriously as we do today. We struggled and the Lord helped us. Every accomplishment that you make, God has given you the ability, given you the strength and he assists in you getting to that position. But when the Lord moves and the Lord blesses in many instances, we're not careful to praise it. We don't give him the credit that is due him because it's all about him and all about him receiving glory for finding a little boy like me and raising me up, elevating me. And I thank God. Well, it's a boast. It's a boast in God. I didn't do it. The Lord helped me to do it. The Lord blessed me to live a very comfortable life. I can't take any credit for that. There are other people who he could have blessed other than me. So I have to realize stuff only matters so much. When you leave this place, you'll not take anything with you. I'll take my suit with me when I go. No, you won't. They'll send you in your suit. When you leave here, you'll leave the way you came. You came here with nothing. But the Psalmist said to us, realize how you got where you are. He said, you belong to God. He said, so the reason I say you belong to God is verse two said he has founded it up on the sea and established it up on the flood. He said, seek to enter and stand in God's holy place. Existence. Our design is to praise God, to give him glory, to testify of the great things he's done in our lives. Help people to understand that the Lord can set you free from whatever your your your holdings are causing you to cling to. You know, we can't help it in ourselves. If you're hungry, you're hungry and you want to eat. If you're sad, you want to be happy. That's not, it's not anything wrong with that, but things within themselves are not the main thing. We have to appreciate the fact that we have to prepare ourselves to walk with God and to move from this place into a heavenly home where our Father is the creator of everything and our own self. And I think about what a wonderful place heaven must be. And so, yes, I want to go to heaven. Anybody wants to go to heaven? I know we all want to go to heaven. But Mother Alexander Wisdom, I teach from Mother Alexander University in 1955, I believe it was when Emmett Till was was murdered in Mississippi. That was the year that mother and dad were gonna get a pass for me to ride on the train and go to Mississippi to meet my family down there. When that murder took place, she said, you ain't going nowhere. Say, you don't know how to act. I didn't know how to yes sir. I didn't know how to no. Y'all know what no means. No ma'am, no. You don't know how to act. Well, the Psalmist David is saying, y'all don't know how to act. You don't know who you're meeting. You're going to meet the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the creator of everything. And you don't know what to say, you don't know what to do. He said, there's a requirement when you go before the King of Kings. And you got to be, there's got to be a certain protocol that you have to meet when you go before the King. Verse three, ask a question. Who shall ascend into the heel of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place? He said, can anybody who wants to go, go to heaven? The debate would be, yes, anybody can go. Then on the other end of me, no, everybody can't go. And they're both right. Anybody who wants to go will learn priorities and learn the conduct of heaven and learn what God is all about. Learn what God expects. That who shall ascend into the heel of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? He said, everybody doesn't qualify. This is what the Psalmist said. The Psalmist David was a man after God's own heart. He wanted to please God. He said, the way to seek God is to keep your hands and your heart pure. Keep your hands and your heart. No stealing, no fighting, no lying, no cheating, no backbiting, no gossiping. He says, the only people who are going to stand in his holy place is people who have gotten control over their desires, their personal fleshly desires. You've got to have a pure heart. Talk about things that I've experienced. So you all just excused me. I was an investigator for LAC Fire Department. I did background investigations and the report from my leader is, you're good. He told me you're a good investigator. And I took pride in being a good investigator. I have the ability. I have the natural knack for that job. But I thought about it. I said, as good as I am, I know there was somebody who got over on me. Every candidate that sat down in front of me, it was my intention to get the truth out of that. And by and large, I did. But somebody got over on me. I say that just to help you understand, he that had clean hands and a pure heart shall see God. Nobody's going to get over on God. Nobody's going to outslip God when it comes down to integrity, when it comes down to a life that is pleasing in his sight. He said, I know your thoughts even when they're far off, when they're way down the street before they get to your head. I know your thoughts. You can't get over on me. The Psalmist says, it's God's heaven. It's God's earth. And it's all his stuff. And you can't just come walking up in heaven just because you want to be there. That he that has clean hands and has a heart that is pure as the driven snow, who had not lifted up his soul unto vanity. Nor swan, deceitful. He said, who have not lifted up his soul unto vanity. Well, now, what is vanity? Me. All about nobody can't have nothing better than me. I got to be the first one on my block to get the newest whatever. Nobody can't have a bigger car. Nobody's house can't be on a higher hill than I am because I'm special because I worked, I educated myself. I suffered vanity. Vanity and vexation of the Spirit is what is called. And so vanity is what vexes the Spirit. It disgusts the Spirit. The reason that I say my understanding is that vanity makes the Spirit unhappy because you're claiming something that you didn't get by yourself. You're claiming the glory that belongs to God. The Lord who gave you a mind that was capable of remembering what two plus two is. Come on somebody. So the Lord put in you. The Lord nursed you. The Lord helped you along the way. The Lord opened doors and made ways that you had no, no opportunity to go into. So he said, you got nothing to boast about. He said, check yourself. Step back. Now step back up. Look in the mirror. See who you are. See what you're about. See what you've done. Give me the glory. You've had clean hands in a pure heart. Have not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor has he sworn deceitful way. In other words, nor has he not bowed down before another God. He said, that ain't me. I ain't bowed down to another God. Yes, you did. There's something in your life that holds you captive, that you've got to fight against. You've got to tell yourself, I'm not letting you take me over and cause me not to be able to stand before the king of kings. I'm not going to let anything come into my being that will cause me to miss the rapture when Jesus comes back for the saints just because I wanted to eat ice cream all day. And I say something that simple because that's just how simple it is. What would a man give in exchange for his soul? What would he bow down to? What would he say? Yes to. In exchange for his very soul. Now the soul is the inner more, the inner most being of a human being. Would you give who you are away for a taco? Would you give yourself away for a bowl of porridge? Would you choose that over eternal life in the kingdom of God where the streets are made of gold, the walls are jasper, eternal life in the presence of our Lord and Savior, the Creator of what you long for the most. Verse 6 said he shall receive the blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. So verse 4, the way to seek God is keep yourself clean. Walk right. Walk right. Talk right. Live right. Be right. See right. That's what it takes. Qualification. Thank you. Be right. Right, right. He said if you seek God the results will be you'll receive God's blessings. Now you're not losing. Tell yourself I'm not losing. When I walk right, I'm not losing when I talk right. I'm not losing when I be right. He said because God is going to bless you when you walk right. When you live for him, you have a clean heart and control your emotions and your mind. That's your enemy. Emotions and your mind. The results, you'll receive God's blessing. And when you receive his blessings, you walk right. You'll receive God's righteousness. Righteousness. Righteousness is right, right, right, right, right, right. You're doing it all right. He shall receive the blessings from the Lord. Righteousness from the God of his salvation. Verse 6, this is the generation of them that seek him. That seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Selah means pause and think about it. The truth declass it is such people who truly seek and worship God. Now we had some big time worship going on in this house today. Come on. The Lord seeks our worship. The Lord is pleased when we worship like we worship today. Matter of fact, the Lord would be more happy perhaps if we got up and we did like David dance. He danced his, he did get neck and y'all. He danced his outer garment off. Come on. I have to put that in because please the Lord if we would not be so, come on somebody. Now I can't help it. I'm 78. In the old school, they used to say, when you're praising God, you got to get ugly to praise God. You can't. Hallelujah. Get ugly. Come on somebody. He said, put everything you got in all of you from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. God deserves the glory and he gets the honor when you praise him. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now one of these days, this church is going to grow into a shouting church. I believe it. If we have to, we'll run y'all through the, through the washer a couple times to get the starch out. It's worth it. You know, you know what the thing is? The devil wants to play with your mind. Want to play games with you. You know, you can't be, can't be like that. People think you're crazy. Well, guess what? We ought to be crazy for God. We ought to give God everything we've got. We ought to stomp our, cut our hands and stomp our feet. Give glory to God, the God of our salvation, the one who can't with the calories crossed that we might have a right to the tree of life and walk with him and live with him throughout all of eternity. What would be wrong with that? Give him all you got. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Verse 7 said, now this from verse 7 on down, it speaks to welcome the conquering king. It said, lift up your head, all ye gates, and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors, and the king of glory shall come in. In that society, they live in walled cities with gates that closed at night. And people couldn't get in because the gates were impediment to their movement. But he says, if you want a real relationship with God, if you want to praise the one who sent, who was sent to Calvary, the one who went to Calvary and shed his own blood, that we might have remission of sin. Blood, the blood covered, the blood took our sins away. And he says, the one who died for you, the one who gave his very self for you, he didn't look at you and find that you were too bad to be saved. Oh, oh, oh, oh, we were born in sin and we were shaping in iniquity and we didn't love God and we didn't love people who are around us. We wanted to be by ourselves and have everything for ourselves. And nobody had to teach us how to cheat a lie. We came with that nature. That's who we were born. And if anybody say they didn't, they're liars. That's what the scripture said. The man said he has no sin. He's a liar. So when we understand that the king of kings, the creator of heaven and earth and everything on the earth, he wants to come into your heart. He wants to be your God. He wants to be your Savior. He wants to be your guide. He wants to be your protector. He said, so lift up the gates. Come on somebody. Lift up the gates. Lift up the gates. Oh, you lift up your head. Oh, you gates. And really lift it up. You everlasting doors and the king. The king is coming. I said the king is coming. Be prepared to meet the king. Get your lessons straight. Know what to do. Know what's required. Lift up your head. Oh, you gates and be lifted up. You everlasting doors and the king of glory. The king of glory. The king of glory. Hallelujah, hallelujah. You know, hallelujah. You know, when I think about lands that have kings, they're honored. They're respected. They're bowed down too. And they don't deserve it. They don't deserve it. I think in terms of what happened with our last president, y'all didn't know it. I saw it coming. I saw it coming around the corner. He wanted to be king of the United States. And he said, I'll do whatever I have to do to make that come true. If he had become king, he wouldn't deserve any honor. No glory would belong to him because he took something that didn't belong to him and try to make it his own. But we're talking about a true king. I'm talking about a king of kings, not just a king, but a king of kings and the Lord of Lords, the creator of heaven and earth and everything belongs to him. And we ought to bow. We ought to bow down before him and give him praise, give him glory and honor for what he's done, how he brought us out, how he set us free, put our feet on a solid rock to stand. We ought to praise him. Lift up your gate, your head, O ye gates, and be lifted up. You everlasting and the king of glory. He said, I'll come in if you open your heart. I'll be in you, a living word. I'll be in you. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Lift up your head, O ye gates, be lifted up. He everlasting does and the king of glory shall. King of glory shall come in. You welcome the conquering king. He's a conqueror. He's never lost a battle. That's how good he is. He's not a make pretend, conquering king. Verse 8 says, the question of verse 8 is, who is this king of glory? Who are you talking about? Where did this king come from? Whose mom and daddy brought him forth? Verse 1 answered that question. The earth is the Lord's. It's his. He didn't have no mom and daddy. I ain't talking about Jesus. Jesus had him, had a mother and a father, but the father was not of earth. Earth is the largest and fullest. They're up there. They're up there. The world and they that dwell therein, for he had founded it. He created everything. He created heaven and earth. So that's who this king is. Who is this king of glory? The answer comes back, the Lord strong and mighty. The Lord mighty in battle. He said this king is not some pushover. This king is not a weakling. This king is not trying to hide behind something to get his will done. He said this is a strong king. The Lord strong and mighty. The Lord mighty in battle. He never lost a battle. So he says what I'm gonna need y'all to do is lift up your head. Lift up your head. Who is this talking to? Lift up your head. Get it in your head. What he's about. What he's done for you. How he saved your soul. He brought you out of a miserable life of sin. He healed your body. He touched your purse. Lift up your head. Open your heart to him. Tell him, Lord, I'm yours. I'm yours, Lord. Try me now and see if I'm completely yours. Lord, if I'm not all yours, you help me. Lift your head up. Lift your head up. Lift your head up. I'm gonna do better. I'm gonna walk closer. I'm gonna be more humble. That's what my head says I got to be. Because I'm going to meet the king of kings. Come on somebody. I put this on and I'll shake my shoulders back and I ain't ready to meet the king. Not yet. The king of glory. He wants to come in. Come into my heart. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Come in today. Come in to stay. Come in today. Hear me? Come in to stay. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Take all of my heart. Take all of my heart, Lord Jesus. Come in today. Come in to stay. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Come into my heart. Come into my. Come into. Take all of my heart. Hallelujah. The king is coming. The king. Who is this king of glory? Who is this king? His name is Jesus. Jesus. He is the king of king. He is the Lord of Lord. His name is Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. You know, Jesus came that we may be saved. He has everything we need. The song said come into my heart and only way that Jesus can come into your heart as you receive Him as your Lord and Savior. The Bible tells us that we must be baptized in the name of Jesus. There's no other way to be baptized. You can't be baptized in the Father. You can't be baptized in the Son. Those three are, he's not three. He's all one and we must be baptized in Jesus' name. Those are titles. Those are titles. Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. If we go to the bank, we ask Him, you can't sign the Father on the check. You can't sign the Son on it on the check. You can't sign the Holy Ghost on the check. Acts 2.38 say the name. Name. Not one. Name which is plural. One name. That's all it takes. One name. And that name is Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Once we get that name down in us, that's all we need. We have to be obedient to the Word of God. God is everything. Everything we need in the B. The Bible, the scripture, the Apostles saying, lift up your head. Lift up your head. Get God to praise. Get God to glory because he's worthy. He's worthy of the praise. He's worthy of the honor. He's worthy of the glory. The Lord say, in order for us to enter into heaven, we must live a holy and a righteous life. Before Him, our heart must be pure. We can't be saved one day and the next day, we're not saved. We have to be careful who we hang around with, who we be with. You know, what we say, what we do. The Bible tells us to let our light shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Heavenly Father. Our ways have to be pleasing in God's sight. The Lord wants each of them wants to live a holy and a righteous life before Him, before Him. That's what He wants. That's the only way we can get into heaven. There's no other way. There's no backdoor. There's only one way in and that's through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm asking anyone here that does not have the Lord as their personal savior because that's the only way. He is the way, the truth and the light. That's the only way we can get to heaven throughout the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We must come to Him. The Bible says, repent, be baptized, every one of you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And He said, we shall, not might, not maybe. He said, we shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That's a promise. That's a promise. He promised each and every one of us that He will pour out His spirit upon each and every one of us. The Lord said, also say in the last days, I'll pour out my spirit upon all flesh, all flesh. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, that I may spend eternity with you. The past asked each and every one, who want to go to heaven? But there's a way that we have to go. There's a way. We just don't go, but there's a way. In other words, there's, let me see how I want to say it. There's a recipe and the recipe is being baptized in Jesus' name and being filled with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost. So is there anyone here that does not have the Lord as their personal Savior? Please come up. Come up. Don't worry about the next person next to you. This is personal. This is personal. The person, your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, they can't help you. You've got to do this on your own. It's personal. So is there anyone, anyone want to give their life to Jesus? Let them come forward in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. It's not nothing you should think about. Nothing you should think about. Will you want to spend eternity in heaven or in hell? Anyone? Anyone? Everyone been baptized? Anyone need prayer? Anyone need prayer? The altar is open for prayer. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Okay, no one need prayer. Okay, we are turning it over to our first lady, Bobby Alexander. Wonderful message. The earth is who and the fullness thereof. Bishop started out by telling us everything we got. $50 in the bank, $100 in the bank, $500 in the bank, $100,000 in the bank, $100,000 in the bank. It's not yours. It's not yours. It's not yours, Pastor Sike. It's not yours, man of Pastor Bishop. It's not yours, minister Edward. It's not any of us. When the however amount we got in the bank, it don't belong to us. The Lord made us stewards over everything he has given us. And that's a blessing that God has given us. That education you obtained. You didn't obtain that by yourself, so you can't get no credit for that. There's many people with education that don't have nothing. So earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. Now in saying that, reaching your pocket, reaching your purse, get your checkbook out, get your credit card or whatever you have. And guess what? Give God what he has allowed you to have. And today, since he preached us powerful message, give some extra today, amen. Because you realize it don't belong to you. And God told us, don't worry about what tomorrow is going to bring, because he's going to provide for you. So do what God wants you to do. Give and you will be blessed, amen. And the more you give, the more you're going to be blessed. My brother preached a message years ago at the church in Pasadena. He said, you can't ever go under for going over for God. You can't go under for going over for God. So if you give God what's through him, guess what? He's going to bless you more and more and more. Amen. I'm a witness. I'm a witness. And some of you are also witness. Give him to the Lord. You're not giving to me. You're not, I don't know whose phone is ringing. You're not giving to the pastor. You're not, but you're giving unto the Lord. And the Lord is who's going to bless you. I can't bless you. I got a little bit of change, but I ain't got nothing to bless you. Amen. So let the Lord bless you. Amen. Amen. So we're going to ask those, raise your offering before the Lord. Five in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord God, for giving to us that we may even have something to give. Thank you, Lord God, that we realize that what you have given us belongs to you. So we want to, Lord God, give you some of the finances that you've given us. We want to give it back to you in our tithes and our offering, Lord God. Lord God, we ask you to bless it a hundredfold in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. And those in media land, if you would like to give to this ministry, this is a good ground. Good ground. And if you would like to give into this ministry, you may give per-giver fight, shield faith, Christmas dinner of Long Beach, or you may mel it in to 4934 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach, California, 90805, or you could drop it in our slot, in our door, and guess what? We will pick it up. Amen. But give unto the church. We would love to have your finances. We would love you to support this ministry. We thank you and we praise you. Father, we ask you to bless this offering. Bless those who gave, Lord God. And Lord God, if there is anybody who did not have a gift, Lord God bless them that they may have the gift. And Lord God, maybe they don't have the gift because they didn't give before. But we ask you, Lord, in the name of Jesus, to bless as never before. Give us a mind to be free-hearted. Make us cheer for givers, Lord God. Cheer for givers to give to you, Lord God, because we know, Lord God, that you're the one that's going to reward us and you're the one that's going to pay us, Lord. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Now we're turning the service over to minister Merlin. Let's say amen as she come forth. Amen. And as we travel along this journey, he shows us who he is, that he is the king of glory. Amen. He is. He is the king. He proves it daily. Amen. That he is the king and that he's worthy. Amen. Of every gift that we have to offer, he's worthy of every praise that we have to offer unto him. Amen. Amen. So let's be even more determined. Hallelujah. Let's be even more determined to stay with him. Amen. Come on. Let's stand to our feet. Hallelujah. It was done, God. Thank you, God. As we go off several of boats, keep us and bring us back at the appointed time in Jesus' name. On this time I know up in Jesus, yes, I am.
