 Okay, it's taking a bit too, yeah, it's time to check on it. All right, so we're now in chapter eight, where we will read about the strategies of Satan. Till now, we are very clear. We have discussed many instances, where God's power was released in scripture, in personal life. We've also talked about how Christ Jesus has won the victory for us on the cross and defeated Satan. We've seen how we can apply that in our lives. But then we might have a question that has believed us. If Jesus has won victory in such a grand way, why is it that the enemy, though he is defeated, is not stopping his works? One reason we have already given, we've said that there is a time at which he will be completely removed from this earth and he will receive his punishment after judgment. But then while Satan is here and he knows that he's defeated, his works have not stopped in that sense, but they still continue, he's defeated. But should he not accept his defeat and just resign from the work that he's doing? So why is it that he continues to attack believers? Why is it that he continues to cause destruction in people's lives? So the way we can understand this is, though Satan is defeated, also notice that his time here on earth is very, very limited. He knows he's defeated, he knows his time is limited and he continues to be with that deceit and pride in himself where he will not stop the activities that he's engaged in. So any enemy who has very little time and who knows that they are going to be imprisoned or caught, what will they do? They will use all the energy that they have in their remaining time. So that they can cause destruction in their life, so that they can cause sufficient destruction, isn't it? Even in places where there are enemies that are defeated and they want to take over a land or something like that, they know that they don't have the full victory or the capacity, what do they do? They just play around in something called as gorilla tactics where they will go, they will try to influence the people, they will try to, in an illegal unlawful way, get a hold of people's resources. So it's like playing from, it's like backdoor entry and playing, not in the fort, but sort of just being around and still causing destruction. And that's exactly what Satan is trying to do. He knows he's defeated, he knows he has a little bit of time but he's doing his best. He knows he can't enter through the main gate, so he's entering through the back gate and causing as much chaos as possible. So that is why all the more as we see the days leading up to what God has spoken in his word, the way this world will end and all that, you see, he's trying to be very aggressive and show his power just so that he expends all the energy that he has to cause maximum destruction. So that is how you see the enemy working. Now, more specifically, talking about believers, what does he do? Being defeated for and being so aggressive in his schemes, his plots, his methods, what does he do with the lives of believers? So there are three main things that he tries to do in people's lives and that's what we are going to look at today. One is mind games. So he tries to really maximize on this mind games. Second is he tries to enter in through open doors. Now, the third one is violations and intrusions. So we will look at all these three one by one. Because we have understood that Jesus has won the victory and that Satan is defeated and yet active, what we need to do is we have to be wise and take authority. So if we keep him out, then we will be able to overcome all these methods and games which Satan is actually playing with us. So coming to mind games, we saw that scripture from Second Corinthians 2.11 which says, Satan should take advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his devices. So there are devices, plots, schemes that Satan has and we have to be aware of it. It means mental tactics. So when we are aware, that's when we can create defenses against what Satan is doing. So how does he work? He works in our minds. In the lives of unbelievers, we've already said how he influences them and brings about spiritual blindness. So that's something he does with the help of his teammates. And when it comes to believers, okay, he works on their minds to sort of take their thoughts away from God's word. So he's working in the area of the thoughts. He's working in the area of the progression of thoughts. If you recall, when we talked earlier about the methods of working of Satan, we said that if we are not careful, then a thought can lead into an argument in somebody's mind and that can move further and become a certain reasoning that the person has and then turn into mental strongholds. So which is why we are told that we must take every thought captive. So everything begins with a thought. Satan can even plant thoughts in our minds now. These thoughts can be thoughts of unforgiveness. They can be thoughts of pride. They can be thoughts of lust. They can be, it's just a one solitary thought that comes to our minds. And if we don't take charge of it and immediately the way Satan spoke to Jesus, we saw that in Luke 4, when Jesus was tempted and Satan comes and he says, all these kingdoms I will give it to you. So he presents, he puts thoughts in Jesus's head. What does Jesus do? Immediately Jesus responds with, it is written. So immediately he brings that thought captive and aligns it to the thought of God. Now if we fail to do that, only then we will see the progression. So what is the progression? Arguments, there's nothing wrong, it's okay. Everybody does it at the age that you are in. It's all right, this is how normal life is. Arguments within our minds will begin. Then reasoning, we will have that reasoning that yeah, at this age, people should do this. That's nothing wrong with that. It's not sinful to talk about something immoral to do or some sort of a habit that people are getting into. So there is a reasoning. So they are comfortably able to do those things repeatedly because a certain reasoning has set in their minds. And strongholds, where the name itself suggests strongholds are like a fortress. They're like a fortress. And it is said that demons, right? When we say a person is demonized, demons don't live in our spirit. They can live in our soul. And where do they usually live? They live in these strongholds, emotional strongholds, mental strongholds where we have given permission to lies of the enemy about anything, right? But for a long time, we never brought those thoughts but let's say fear started with the thought, went on to becoming an argument. We gave it to it. Now it has become our reasoning. Yeah, we can't do this because if we do this, Satan will attack us. So it has become our reasoning and you live by that and becomes a stronghold. You're so paralyzed by fear and what does enemy do with a stronghold? Demons can now come and they can take charge and slowly they are taking charge of the mental faculty. So that's how this entire progression happens. And though he would love to continue to do this, plant thoughts, he can be very crafty because you know that he's a deceiver. He will try to speak lies as if they are truth and he will try to weaken us. He wants to, in fact, weaken our will, weaken our thought pattern, which is as per God's word so that it becomes corrupted. And we are willing to do whatever he's suggesting. So what we see more and more is that Satan will do his best. Remember we said the one Peter five, eight, we talked about how the enemy is like a roaring light. He's waiting. It's like you're waiting to charge. If you have a pet at home and you ever trained it to eat the meal. What happens? The moment they see their favorite food, they smell that they're ready to bounce. And that's how Satan is. All the more because his time is less. So he's doing everything he can to attack the believers and especially through mind games and it starts generally through thoughts. He can put blindness on the spiritual understanding of people. He can be very crafty to deceive people. So in all these ways, he tries to go about attacking them. But what can a believer do? He will study about the weapons with which we can come against the enemy soon and we will study about it in detail. But for now, if you can think of Ephesians chapter six, the armor of God has been mentioned there which a believer can use that can help the believer to stand against the attacks of the mind. So what does this armor work as? One, the parts of the armor. Helmet of salvation, helmet of salvation. What does the helmet of salvation cover? It covers our mind. So spiritually, this means that our minds are aware of what has happened through salvation for us. So what has happened? We understand that Jesus has forgiven us. We understand that now we are placed in Christ Jesus. Now we understand that we have been given authority. We have been given dominion. We have every blessing. We have the blessings of the cross. We have the blessings of Abraham. We have an inheritance in Christ Jesus. So helmet of salvation is the knowledge of salvation. Now when a believer lives their life with the knowledge that they have all this, it's not easy for Satan to come and plant a thought and say, God doesn't love you. Immediately what will the believer say? With a renewed mind, because they have the helmet of salvation, they have understood what salvation has done for us. So the believer would say, hey, that's not true. God really loves me. You know, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. You know, what manner of love is this that God should call us his own children? So, you know, we can come up with all these scriptures and put it against the devil and say, no devil, it is written. And that is how the helmet of salvation really helps because it helps us know who we are in Christ. And if Satan is trying to touch us in any way, we can immediately say, no, I have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb, you know, I have been redeemed. Satan, you can't do this. So a believer can use the helmet of salvation. In other words, the knowledge of what salvation has done for the believer. And that becomes a part of the armor that you and I carry. Now, coming to breastplate of righteousness. So what is the breastplate of righteousness? We know what is right and wrong. Yeah, according to the character of God, we recognize that. And so when Satan tries to induce us and say, it's okay, little bit of sin is not going to do anything or some lies here and there or some, you know, compromise here and there. But for a believer who is protecting himself, he will use the breastplate of righteousness. And we will say, no, devil, it's not right. The scripture says that Jesus also said, I am the way, the truth and the life. So when my God is the truth, how can I lie? God does not lie. So we must be like God. We should not lie. So based on the word of God, we are constantly realigning, recalibrating ourselves to what is right and wrong, so that we can put on, you know, that righteousness that Jesus already, the scriptures say, right, that we've already become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, but we have to live it out. So we're living that righteous life and that becomes a covering for us. And that is the breastplate of righteousness. So Satan is trying to penetrate our mind, but hey, no, I am carrying the breastplate of righteousness. So you can't penetrate. Belt of truth, now the belt of truth, once again. It's like sort of working together with righteousness itself, isn't it? So the truth of God's word, what is the truth about the word of God? It is the final authority for us. Now Satan might come and say, no, no, why do you want to believe that God's word is the final authority? How about, you know, you take from some other philosophies, there is so much wisdom there as well, but when you know the truth, you're saying, don't try to deceive me. I know what God's word says. God's word is established in the heavens. And so, no, I am not going to receive your lies. Or let's put it more practically, the truth about different things in life, the truth about faith in God, the truth about hard work, diligent being diligent, the truth about treating people well in relationships. So these are all our everyday practical issues, okay? But when we have the truth about all these matters, then the enemy cannot shake us. But you truth about justice, so many things are happening in the world around us. What is the standard that I should have? Get into God's word, try to find out, okay, what is the truth? So based on the truth of God's word, I'm going to make my standard. Then what happens? It becomes a belt of truth in my life. And I am protected. When I'm on the side of truth, what happens? I become protected. No wonder it is known as the armor of God. So we have to put out the armor of God, shoes of the good news of peace to move forward. So what is this? Basically, I have chosen to walk with, in a cordial way, in a loving way. I have chosen to avoid strife, ill will, anger, bitterness, evil, doing evil to people. I have decided. I'm not going to engage in those things. So when I'm walking with the Lord in this manner, I put on the shoes of peace and of the gospel of God. So gospel is I'm ready to share. Whenever there is an opportunity, I'm ready to share what the Lord Jesus has done. So then what happens? This also becomes my defense. So all these pieces of the armor, they are not an object, but they are something that we are aligning ourselves to as for what God has spoken. And that gives us protection against the mind games that the enemy is playing. The shield of faith. The shield of faith is very, very important because what Satan loves to shake our faith. If a believer in a believer's life, their faith can be shaken, Satan knows I can get this person. So that is why it is known as shield of faith. In the mind, he could plant thoughts of fear, he could plant thoughts of anxiety, he could plant thoughts that say that God doesn't care, God has forgotten, God has abandoned. So then what happens to the believer? The faith starts shaking. Oh, if I don't have the certainty of salvation, if I don't have the certainty of God's help, what will happen to me? Then it's like the attacks, if you want to imagine with me those days, this armor of God is taken from the Roman soldiers with the kind of outfit that they used to have in the front lines. So you would notice that they had all these elements in the armor and in front, they'll hold a metal shield like that. The enemies, they would attack with arrows or any other offensive item will come hit and fall off. So it was very important for the soldiers to hold the shield and sort of keep covering themselves all the time. If they missed it, if they missed holding up the shield, then what happens? The arrow will hit you. Where will it hit? It would generally be directed to the heart or the chest areas where you have some of your vital organs and you could just die. In the same way today, Satan wants to affect our hearts or the core of our being through the thoughts that he plans. And many of these thoughts are like those arrows. They're coming and hitting us every day. But as a believer, I have to hold up my faith. Every day I have to hold up my faith and say, what God says, I'm going to say what God says about me. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You say, I have not received a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. No, I have not received a spirit of bondage, but I have received the spirit by which I cry out, Abba, father. So I have to be so grounded in God's word and my faith in God's word. Because if I can do that, his mind games will just fall to the ground. He can't play with a believer who is sound and rooted and grounded in the faith. So that is how we overcome the mind games, the enemy tries to play. And he does this with all the believers. He does it with all the believers in different ways. So we can understand in our own lives, what are some of the regular things that he uses. So you can take some time and think about it. It'll really help us because when we go for battle, as much as we are prepared, I might have all the weapons, but I also have to think, how will this enemy attack me? Will he attack from this side or that side? So when I have some idea, then I know, okay, then I should be ready. I should not give him chance in all these angles. I know many of us have not directly been soldiers in a war and all, but think of games that you play, even badminton or shuttlecock or all that, because then you're thinking or chess, you're thinking, he could do this. So I have to be like this. So in our daily life, we can know ourselves and our challenges and know that, okay, I must make sure that if I am going through anxiety, then I must make sure that I take time and prayer because I know that is an area where Satan can play mind games with me. So I make sure I take that time or if I'm having doubts in a certain aspect of my faith, then I know, okay, I must make sure that I study God's word and equip myself in that area, then I'm strong enough. Or let's say in the ministry flowing in the gifts of the spirit, you're finding it difficult. I'm not having the faith to do it. Every time you come under condemnation, then you know, okay, I will study about the gifts of the spirit, then I'll know how to flow it in better. So basically take charge, understand that these are ways in which Satan works in general and more specifically he has done these kind of things in my life. So how can I protect myself? So personally, you can give time to study of God's word, prayer, or keeping certain scriptures, okay? So when you know, okay, I know that I'm suffering with these evil thoughts, then what should I do? Okay, immediately some scriptures, okay? I can't have, I cannot accommodate evil thoughts in my mind because scripture says that may the words of my mouth, may the meditations of my heart be acceptable in my sight. So it is the will of God that we be sanctified, be holy as I am holy. So I can immediately switch to war mode and start bringing out all these verses. So this is the way which we will protect ourselves from the mind games of the devil. Also one more thing which is mentioned here in our notes is Ephesians 4.27. It says, nor give place to the devil. Nor give place to the devil. So we have to be alert about our own lives and think, okay? Is there in any way, is there any way through which Satan can enter, you know, into my life or my family or my ministry? And if you sense that, then take charge of it. It could be a sin. It could be a sin. Let's say some compromise in our, I'm just giving some random example. Let's say finances. I'm willing to compromise in the way I handle my finances. I don't mind a little bit here or there. So that's how it starts out, but what is happening? Now Satan got a foothold. Right now it's not a big matter. But as we move forward, he knows I can now completely enter, I can make a big mess of this person's finances and thereby his life, his family, his ministry, everything. So footholds, we have to be careful. It could just begin as a thought. It could just begin as a suggestion, but we have to be aware. We should be quick to catch the devil like Jesus and say, no devil, it is written. So don't try to change my standards. These are my standards. I will go by these standards. So don't give the devil this verse as, right? Not give place to the devil. It means don't give the devil any opportunity. Don't give him any power or any occasion or anything to enter into our lives. So we have to be very, very careful. So mind games is something that he loves to play against the believers. The next thing here is open doors. The open doors. What are these open doors? As I already said, the foothold into somebody's life. Sin is a classic open door. Believers who, you know, one foot in the world, one foot in God, and we think we can just make it like that. But if you wanna put it this way, we are playing with fire. Satan is not so, you know, he wants to make sure to destroy. So we can't say that, yeah, I will align little bit within what is wrong, nothing, I'm getting pleasure out of it or I'm getting, you know, fame out of it or I'm getting power out of it, I'm getting money out of it. But sooner or later, it will lead to destruction. So sin, as a believer, no wonder the Lord's prayer please start outside and daily prayer, he taught us to pray, Lord, forgive us our sins. As we forgive those who sin against us. So it's very important for me on a daily basis to come to a place where I say, Lord, everything that I know is wrong. I confess it. And I say, Lord, help me to align myself to you. So then what am I doing? Through confession, one John one, seventh through nine, we see there John said, if we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just to forgive us and remove sins as far as the east is from the west. So God is faithful to do that, but he wants that attitude of humility, repentance from the believer. So when I can walk like that, I think in the prayer and intercession course I have told us, keep short accounts with God, daily accounts with God, where you're dealing with things immediately, then what happens? When Satan comes and he's checking, any note, did they leave it open by mistake? You know, is it open? Nothing will be open. We have dealt with sin, right? We have confessed it. We also repent. What is repentance? You know, repentance in our language, it just means making a U-turn or turning around in the opposite direction and stopping that sin that we were engaged in. So living a life like that will not leave any open doors for the devil. In the case of unconfessed sin, okay? It's not so much the sins of, you know, sins that we are ignorant about, I'm not talking about that, you know. Sometimes sins are unconfessed because you probably didn't know that you made a mistake. So that's a different scenario. But I'm talking about knowing something is wrong and not dealing with it. So unconfessed, unrepented sin, now that is something Satan loves. It's an open door, inviting the devil to come in. So he can easily come in. So we have to deal with sin in our lives. Now, apart from this, we also see, you know, scriptures talk about unbelief, scriptures, how that fear is not a godly thing and, you know, unforgiveness, hatred, all these things in the heart of a man. But these are all what works of the flesh, works of the flesh. And they are sin and leading us deeper and deeper into, you know, other kinds of things. So we have to get rid of these things. And who is our best example? You know, when we talk about living righteously, people usually tend to suggest, oh, be like this person, be like this pastor, be like this leader. But you see, our best example is the Lord Jesus. Now, maybe even the people who we are looking up to, for whatever reason, their standards are not like the standards of Jesus. So Jesus is our standard. We can't justify our lower standard saying, oh, but even my mentor is doing it or my leader is doing it, so I can also do it. We can't justify like that because our standard should be the standard of Jesus. And anything that is of this, what is sin simply means missing the mark. So if we have missed the mark, as far as God's word, God's standards are concerned, then do we just need to sincerely confess, repent, and shut the door on the devil? That way, he will have no entry point into our lives and we would have received the cleansing work of the blood of Jesus in ourselves. So we have to, through sin, we might open the doors to keep it shut. Now there's a little bit more explanation in our notes here and I will just share that before I move on to the next way in which doors can be opened, which is the words we speak. So when it comes to sin, why do people fall into sin? One is our fleshly weaknesses. We have not dealt with those weaknesses. So again, these are things that our flesh craves fame, pride, or food, or whatever, just laziness, you just don't wanna do any work. So our flesh wants things contrary to what God has told us to have. So it's our own issue. These are our weaknesses, these are fleshly weaknesses and there are many ways to overcome this. The first and foremost, as I've been saying, you can study God's word because God's word will transform us inside how it is sharper than any two-edged sword. So we can apply God's word, we can pray, we know that our spirit man is strengthened when we pray. We can pray in the spirit because you know how clearly Paul writes that one is edified and you pray in the, when you pray in terms of what happens, we edify ourselves, but prophecy edifies the body of believers. So we understand, okay, fine, I can pray in terms. So you're overcoming the weaknesses of your flesh in all these ways. Fasting also helps us overcome the weaknesses of our flesh and also walking in righteousness when you keep denying your flesh. No, no, you can't do this, you can't do this. You're literally taming your flesh. Okay, so you're walking in, finally you come to a place of self-control. Yeah, self-control, what is self-control? It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and it is produced through our lives as we continually keep walking with the Lord so we can overcome our fleshly weaknesses. And Satan, on the other hand, so this fleshly weaknesses is an internal issue which we have to deal with. The other issue is external, that is temptations or influence of Satan. He will try to induce or he will try to cajole us, he will try to attract us, invite us to do something or think, usually it's not do first, usually it is think first. And if you're not careful enough, we might think but I didn't do anything but it's going towards that. Remember we saw in passages from James and all that when desire is full grown, then it gives rise to sin. So things begin with thought desire. So external, that is temptation of the devil. How do you deal with the temptations that Satan means? Again, same thing, be ready with the word. If you know that some area is my weakness, I'm weak in this area, then be ready with four or five scriptures because you don't know what time you might be tempted. You could say those scriptures or if it helps to, let's say you go to a place or you watch something and it triggers you to do wrong stuff, then don't go there because the Bible says, flee youthful lust, just get out of there, run away, run away, never give an occasion for that temptation to catch you. So these are all things that believers can do to keep the door shut and notice both of this, whether we are struggling with fleshly weaknesses or external temptations are coming. We still have the capacity to overcome. So the choice to whether I want to sin or I want to do the right thing, it is mine. I need to yield to what God is saying and that way I can walk in righteousness and I can overcome what the enemy is doing. Now, in order to overcome again in your notes, the same things that I have kind of mentioned, submit to God through his word, crucify the flesh with the help of the Holy Spirit, make no provision for the flesh. Okay, so make no provision for the flesh just like, you know, example is, let's say I am tempted to eat a lot of sweets. Good thing to do is don't buy sweets, don't keep sweets in your fridge, don't keep sweets in your cupboard because if you keep, then what happens? You make some provision for the flesh. Then in a moment of weakness, you'll think un-chocolate, no, nothing will happen and then you eat it up. So in this way, in all other areas of our life, if something is tempting us, just stay away from it and make sure that, you know, you're very careful. And one more thing we can do is you can pray because prayer also helps us to keep a guard, you know, pray that you may not fall into temptation. So prayer also really helps us to overcome, okay? Yeah, so we will go on to the next, yeah, okay. I think that's a question. Who's this? Okay, no question, I thought I heard a question. All right, so any thoughts, questions, everyone? Okay, nothing much, all right. Yeah, just give me a moment, I'll, my bar is low. Okay, great. So we've understood, you know, that we have to live a righteous life and that prayer said we will not be able to enter. Now, open doors, true words. So words are emphasized in scripture, we know from Proverbs 18, 21, that life and death is in the power of the tongue. And God has designed some sort of an authority and a creative power in the words that we speak. Even when he created the world, he said, let there be light and there was light. So God spoke to release his authority. And so in the same manner, when we speak over our lives, we are releasing authority. Now, this could be the correct kind of words, these could be words of blessing, these could be words in line with God and his word. They could be words that, you know, how we said that angels, when we talked about demons and angels, we said angels are ministering spirits and we saw in Sam's how they act in accordance to the word of God. So when I'm speaking God's word, the angelic activity is activated. So all this happens when we speak God's word and we can see its power, but then when we speak opposite to God's word, that ends up being the open door. Okay, so we are simply classifying that as wrong words. So let's say instead of words that affirm who we are in Christ, we go ahead and say, no, but I'm not forgiven. I don't feel sanctified and holy. I am fearful. I am filled with fear. It becomes an open door for the devil. Then we are constantly, you know, it's not the truth of God's word, isn't it? So when we speak the right words, we are believing that the power of those right words are ease. Same thing happens when we speak wrong words also. The power of those words are being released over either our life or we could speak unbelief. We could speak fear and condemnation over people around us, any people who God has given under our authority. So especially family, right? Children, so when we speak these words, we end up, you know, allowing space for the devil to work. Now, taking this to, you know, just understand the dedications that we had spoken about earlier, remember? We said that sometimes people dedicate using the words that they speak. So there can be words of dedication that people have spoken over their children or their grandchildren many years before. And now there is an open door through that. Satan is actually able to attack people. So how do we overcome it? Again, speak God's word. By faith, we speak the opposite of what the enemies say, right? And we can also, because we said that we can bind, we can rebuke, we can cast out. So we can take authority and we can also cancel. We say that you can cancel or destroy the words that have been spoken, the lies, in other words, the lies that have been spoken over our lives. So when you do that, what happens? The doors are shut, okay? Now remember, we said, Job, Job said that, whatever I feared has come upon me. Whatever I feared has come upon me. So sometimes we end up releasing that fear through our words. We say that, okay, God, I know God will help me, God will help me. And when you don't see what you expected, suddenly the words come on, I knew nothing is going to happen. You know? So what's happening here? Our faith is showing itself what we truly believe and it's coming out in the words that we are speaking. So how do we work on this? Again, best way is meditate, meditate, meditate on God's word, because that is our standard, isn't it? And how in Romans 12, we say, we have to renew our vines. Take this analogy. An analogy is, let's say that this room in which I'm sitting and teaching all of you, if it is made with mud bricks, somebody has laid mud bricks and they've made it. Now, for me to make a stronger cement, like a strong cement brick room, I have to sit and remove every mud brick and in place of that mud brick, I have to put a cement brick. So think about that. Remove everything, again, put. That is what renewing the mind is. Our mind has already got thoughts, patterns in it, but God's word says that we must renew our vines. Don't be conformed to the ways of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. So replace, replace every lie, every deception, every standard, which is not aligning to God's word, but God's word. So for that, what should we do? Get into God's word. Then we will know this is the truth. I'm putting it into my mind. Now mind, let it settle down, let it settle down. Use it, use it. And then that's what we believe. What will start happening? It'll start coming out from our mouth. Don't worry, brother, God is there. God will help you. Why? Because that's the faith you carry. Now it's coming out in the time of need. So in that way, we can really work on the words that we are speaking, and if wrong words have been spoken, we can again, with our words, cancel those wrong words. So that way, we are closing the doors for the devil. So now let's, one more thing here given is situations. Situations, I think this also we have seen quite a bit, but yeah, we'll have to look at it a little more in depth. So let me stop right here. We can pray and close for today. I wanna request somebody to please go ahead and pray please so that we can wrap up today's session. Okay, let's pray. Loving Father, once again, Lord, we thank you so much for speaking to us, Lord, through your daughter. Lord, this afternoon Lord, we especially pray that you bless us, Lord, that we will be a lot in our personal spiritual life. Lord, we will not compromise in any certain things, Lord, but Lord, I pray that you bless us. A holy spirit, Lord, you always lead us in all the truth. And Lord, you bless us that Lord, we will come to you, master, not to second master. Once again, Lord, I pray for myself and all our dear ones, those who are learning together. Lord, you bless us that in the days to come, Lord, we will see a spiritual growth in our life and a family, Lord. So thank you so much for a faster, continuously bless. In Jesus' name, I pray, amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Subhashesh. And thank you, everyone. May God bless you, continue to be strong in God and look forward to meeting you next week. Have a great weekend. Bye.
