Okay, so Yeah, so we'll we'll we'll try and sort that out after the class Right, you can get in touch with the maybe in some of us here or you can try to Admin at public college apc public college dot org and we'll get that sorted. Okay, so let's let's move on Okay, first of all we need to understand You know something about about the way God is Is he said them done the the character the very nature of God the fact that he is a Triune God right what makes God God is the fact that he is Omni present which means he's present everywhere He is all-knowing or omniscient and he is also all powerful or omni omnipotent So that's what makes him God that's what makes God God and When we look at scripture, we see God being presented to us as a triune God That he is God the father the son and the Holy Spirit You know just like how we when you look at the Bible you see that the Bible doesn't really explain and and And say okay build up a case for God it just starts by saying you know Genesis 1 1 in the beginning God Okay, so in the beginning God this is it Okay, God is in other words God is that God created and this is how he created. That's how it starts So we see God being presented as a triune God that he's the father the son and the Holy Spirit So it's one God existing in three persons But in essence he is One God So it's not he's not three different gods Like some of the other world views are he's not three different gods, but he is one God one in essence but existing as three persons now as Much as we try to explain to the you know We can make it very simple and very simplistic ways people have tried to explain it and saying oh It's like water I he's in and steam and but you know everything falls short of really explaining right to the fullest extent the Trinity Because the thing is that as much as we try to explain and you know dive in and and see The possibilities of how he is and who he is as a as a triune God At the end of the day, you know the whole Aspect of God being a triune God is a mystery for us. Okay, because we are finite beings We are finite beings now. We cannot be omnipresent. We can't be present in you know Except in one place and we can't be present in multiple places at the same time. So for us the aspect of God being Omnipresent itself is Something that we cannot wrap our minds around. Yes or no Yeah, the fact that God is speaking to me right now and the fact that God could be speaking to you know 2024 of you at the same time having a parallel conversation Itself is something that I cannot wrap my mind around Right, so I just imagine the entire You know the body of Christ the global body of Christ that God is who he is to them helping them Revealing things to each and every person So that's who he is right. He is Omnipresent and he's all-knowing infinite wisdom and so on so At the end of the day, we know that this whole thing of God being a triune God is the mystery and we will have Eternity to find out Okay, we're gonna spend eternity finding out more and more about this triune God So I'm not going to go into explaining Trinity, but we're going to look at scripture and Several places in scripture where we see these this triune God where we see where scripture gives us the picture that hey You know and gives us a picture of the triune God, right? So we're going to look at several verses Okay, first off The word Trinity is not there in scripture Okay, so it's a theological construct in the in the sense that it's a word which people use or theologians used to explain this triune God So the word Trinity is not there. So many, you know, many people have this You know this argument or this challenge, you know, the word Trinity is not there How can you say, you know, God is Trinity is not there in the Bible? Yes, it is definitely not there It's just a word to explain Like the character of the nature of God, right? Okay, so let's look at some scriptures Which give us the picture of the triune God? Okay When we look at creation itself If you have your notes, you can just follow in your notes and that'll be great When you look at creation itself Genesis chapter 1 the verses that we just read Genesis 1 verses 2 and 3 so it Talks about let me just put the verse here. Okay, it talks about The fact that earth was without form and void darkness was on the face of the deep and The spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters Spirit of God, obviously the Holy Spirit and verse 3 says then and then God said let there be Light and there was right so it's referring to so two different words are used there to refer to You know the spirit of God and to refer to and God said, right? We see Let me just read out those words in the beginning God so we see Elohim as as the word which is used there to refer to The God the father Elohim created and then when we look at the word the spirit we see that Ruach which means breadth so Ruach Spirit of God was over The waters right so we we see this so in creation we see both the father Elohim and we see This Holy Spirit Moving on the face of the waters. Yeah, so we see a parallel of that in Hebrews one here, so let's let's go to Hebrews one and Let's look at a few verses here. Okay, Hebrews one says God who at various times and in various Ways spoke in time pass to the fathers by the prophets has in these last days spoken to us by his son Whom he is appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the worlds. Okay, so So in Genesis the verses that we read versus two and three we see the we see God being present there We see the Holy Spirit Brooding over the waters or hovering over the waters and here Hebrews referring to that account the writer of Hebrews says that you know that Through whom also he made the worlds that Referring to the Lord Jesus the son that God has spoken to us by his son and through the son He made the world who bring let's read verse three Hebrews one who being the The brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power When he had by himself purged us and sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high and so on okay, and if you look at chapter two and And verse verses three and four Maybe verses two onwards for if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast and Every transgression and disobedience received a just reward. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? Which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders With various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his own Well, so we see the father being mentioned there We see because he's the one who has who at various times and spoke and various ways spoken times fast times past to To the fathers by the prophets That's what was one says and then we look at the world's being created by the son And then we when we look at chapter two and was us was for talks about how God Oh witness with signs and miracles and wonders By the Holy Spirit according to his own rules So we see you know the three persons of the triune God of the Godhead Being mentioned here right there right there when it comes to creation Okay, let's move on let's move on and look at another verse which these are you know different pictures that we see right there in In scripture which talks to about the triune God and it's important for us to Understand that acknowledge that if this is how God is presented right through Scripture father son and the Holy Spirit and just like how scripture assumes That you know in in the beginning God The same way the writer of scripture, you know, there's no there's no confusion Right in their minds This is how God existed and this is how God worked or exists and he works Right, so let's look at another scripture. We go to the gospel of Luke and here we read about the the birth and Some verses referring to that okay, so Luke chapter 1 and Let's look at verse 30 onwards. Okay, the angel said to her. So this is the angel which has come with the news of what's going to happen Angel Gabriel and said to her referring to Mary The angel said to her Do not be afraid Mary for you have found favor with God and behold you will conceive in your womb and Bring forth a son and she'll call his name Jesus He will be great and will be called the son of the highest and The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever And of his kingdom there will be no end Then Mary said to the angel, how can this be since I do not know a man And the angel answered and said to her the Holy Spirit Will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you Therefore also that holy one who is to be born Will be called the son of God Okay Verse 37 for with God nothing will be impossible so again we We see the God being mentioned that bring forth a son So the Lord Jesus being mentioned and how it's the power of the highest the Holy Spirit the work of the Holy Spirit and the power of the Holy Spirit which causes this conception and Which causes this miraculous work? Okay, so in the birth Referring this when we look at the scriptures referring to the birth of the Lord Jesus we see the picture of Trinity, okay Another scripture is in Matthew chapter 3 Okay, we're going to look at several verses and these Give us the picture of the Triune God So we're going to look at Matthew chapter 3 and this is you know, this is this is very dramatic and this is This is one of my favorite person. You just imagine the scene Matthew 3 and verse the whole Chapter is about John the Baptist coming and he's preaching repentance and he's He's baptizing people and very exciting, right? So he's talking about the Lord Jesus. He's saying, you know You know, I baptize you with water, but there is one who is coming after me and whose sandals straps I'm not worthy to care Sandals I'm not worthy to carry and he will baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire and there comes the Lord Jesus and they have this conversation and John the Baptist Baptizes the Lord Jesus. So can you just picture the scene? You know, just being there and Experiencing the whole, you know, this whole thing unfolding before eyes must have been very exciting must have been, you know full very dramatic and and and wonderful to see all that and Verse 16, okay, let's read from verse was 30 non words Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him Then John tried to prevent him saying I need to be baptized by you and are you coming to me? But Jesus answered and said to him permitted to be so now for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness then he allowed him Look at verse 16 when he had been baptized Jesus came up immediately from the water and behold the heavens were opened to him and He saw the Spirit of God Descending like a dove and alighting upon him was 17 and suddenly a voice came from heaven Saying this is my beloved son in whom I am Well pleased, okay, Matthew 3 16 and 17 so so he comes out out of the water The heavens were opened Sees the Holy Spirit the Spirit of God descending upon him and alighting upon him like a dove and there's the voice Which is from heaven Obviously the voice of the father Because this is what he hears This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased so the son is there There's a voice of the father and We see the Holy Spirit alighting upon the Sun like descending and alighting upon the Sun like a Wonderful picture of the triune God, you know different roles different functions, but one God One in essence and three in persons Okay, let's move on. Let's look at Another another scripture, which is right at the end of the Gospel of Matthew Matthew 28 and Let's look at verses 18 onwards. Jesus came and spoke to them saying all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and Of the Holy Spirit Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo I and with you always even to the end of the age so the Lord Jesus In commissioning the disciples I'm commissioning his followers. He is sending them out. He's giving them a very important instruction He's saying go make disciples of all the nations all the people groups the ethnic go make disciples baptizing them in the name of the father the Sun and Holy Spirit So the Lord Jesus saying, you know, this is how you baptize them You baptize them and and we know that baptism is a symbol of the death burial and resurrection. It's symbolic We read about it in Roman chapter 6 as well. So and You know, a choice is made this is a change internal change. It's refers to the internal change It's an external act that refers to the internal change and the Lord is saying this is how you will baptize If you baptize them in the name of the father Son and the Holy Spirit, you know, a beautiful picture again of the triune God Okay Is it exciting? Yeah, so, you know many times we we have in our minds right people ask, you know How can God be triune? How can maybe, you know, you're talking about three gods and it's not one God and so on but So in the in the mind or in the heart of the Lord Jesus the same thing, you know, he came to reveal the father He came to instruct us About God's heart, right? We see many parables the parable of the lost coin the lost son the lost sheep He came to show us the father's heart. So you look at Jesus, you know Who God is you understand who God is and this is he who says, you know You go baptize in the name of the father the son and the Holy Spirit, right? So you see that three are one and and the Lord Jesus very clearly Just declaring this is how you will baptize. Okay Let's look at another scripture in the plan of redemption Okay, so Humanity fallen humanity in God's plan of redeeming Fallen humanity redeeming people from sin. Okay, we we look at again the Trinity, let's look at Hebrews 9 okay, Hebrews chapter 9 and Verse 14 and Hebrews 9 and verse 14 Maybe I'll read from Verse 13 for if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a high firm Sprinkling the unclean sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh. He's talking about the shadow talking about the time till the The you know till the cross How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit Offered himself Without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God Okay, and goes on to say he's the mediator for this reason Let's read verse 14 again. How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit? Offered himself without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. So we see the Lord Jesus Christ being mentioned there his blood was shed and Talks about What made that possible through the eternal Spirit? He offered himself through the work of the Spirit He offered himself and the Holy Spirit was the power of God in resurrecting the Lord Jesus from the dead we read about that in the episodes as well and Through the Holy Spirit offered himself without spot to God again in the plan of redemption. We see The the the Trinity right we see the Triune God being mentioned at work there Each one doing different things right and we see that okay in the resurrection Okay, Romans chapter 8 and verse 11 Romans 8 and verse 11 Maybe some someone can read Romans 8 verse 11 and another person can read after that Romans 6 and verse 4 also Yeah anyone Romans I'll just Romans 8 11 Romans 8 11 But if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you He who raised Jesus Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit Who dwells in you? Yeah, so if the spirit of him Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you again. We see It's about talking about the resurrection and we see the father son and the Holy Spirit being mentioned here Okay, anyone Romans 6 and verse 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in Order that Jesus that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the father We too may live a new life Yeah, so here there's no reference to the Holy Spirit, but we see the the son and the father and when we read Romans 8 and verse 11 we see The spirit the father and Christ being mentioned there. So we see in the In the resurrection, right? The Triune God being mentioned there. Okay Okay, a few more few more scriptures and then we you know, we if there are any questions we'll take up Okay, so we see that the next one we see is in Acts chapter 7 now This refers to Stephen the first martyr for the sake of for the sake of his faith Acts chapter 7. Okay, so let's look at Acts chapter 7 and versus You know Acts chapter 7 we see that Stephen actually gives a wonderful sermon It gives a wonderful message starting from starting from Abraham and He goes on, you know, right through history and he talks about The Lord Jesus and and and the prophets whom they the fathers killed and so on now Verse 54 when they heard these things they were cut to the heart and they mashed at him with their teeth but he being full of the Holy Spirit gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God okay, and Said look I see the heavens opened and the son of man standing at the right hand of God so any any You know doubts or any questions or any clarifications Any any doubts about the deity of the Lord Jesus and also about the train God again, you know, we see more and more evidence here About the train God, right? Stephen himself was full of the Holy Spirit and then he sees heaven opened and then he sees the father and He sees the son standing at the right hand of the father. Okay, so we see We see that in Stephen's case where he was martyred and we see this mention. Okay, so in heaven Okay, revelation chapter 5 Revelation 5 and verse 6 Talks about the Lamb of God it talks about the spirits seven spirits or seven facets of the spirit of God and These two verses talk about that. Okay, let me read Revelation 5 verse 6 and I looked and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures So it's referring to the throne where God Sad and God says and in the midst of the elders to the lamb as though it had been Slain having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth Okay, so so in the heavens also see the the picture of the train Okay, and several other scriptures that we can we can look at Which refer to the train God, you know, let's say if you look at John chapter 14 and verse 16 John 14 and verse 16 So this is John chapter 14 actually holds 14 15 and 16 It's a good place to go to Where we read about the Holy Spirit where Jesus actually teaches about the Holy Spirit and he says this is what The Holy Spirit will do, you know, he's going to do this. He's going to teach you. He's going to Remind you and so on so John chapter Chapter 14 15 and 16 a great place to study about the work of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus himself teaching, right? so if you look at 14 and verse 15 He says if you love me keep my commandments and then verse 16 and I will pray the father and He will give you another Helper that he may abide with you forever So who is this he that he's referring to who's this help that he's referring to verse 17 The spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees and or knows him But you know him for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you often I will come to you. Okay, so Several other scriptures that are listed there in the notes. You can you can take a look at it But then so this is what we see, right? This is what we see. So scripture very Unapologetically very categorically Declaring the about the father the son of the Holy Spirit right and in the in the chapters to come you want to see how the Holy Spirit is God And how he is a person and so on so so any questions based on what we looked at just now any questions you can go ahead and you can either ask or you can put it on the chat and We'll try to look at that before we proceed further any questions Okay, so Here's another thing What I will also do at the end of the class is put up a Google sheet and put the link For that sheet in the classwork section Right below or right above the resource material section. So What you can do is whatever questions that you might have so each of you will have access To it. So whatever questions that you might have about the subject of the Holy Spirit Okay, now it could be about the questions that you always had Right, how can a person who has a Holy Spirit? How can he sin or how can a Holy Spirit in dwell a person who is sinful, you know Whatever questions that you might have had right through life. Okay, so you can just enter that just enter that enter type in the question there and and Hopefully by the end of this semester, we would have answered all those questions sufficiently Through the course through the classes the sessions and that we have we would have answered those questions And we'll look at we'll take a look at that sheet at the end of the class End of the semester and we'll see if there are any unanswered questions and we will try and address that as well. Okay, so Maybe the after 12 12 o'clock or maybe by 1 o'clock you can India time you can check that check your stream again or check the classwork section and this sheet will be there You can type in those questions. Okay? Here's a question. Can you kindly explain revelation 5 verse 6? Okay, the the the reason we go to revelation 5 6 was to just for us to know that the lamb of God Who is the Lord Jesus the lamb who took away the sin of the world? You know, he is then this is something that the John saw, right? the whole of revelation is based on the encounter that John had with the Lord Jesus, that's how it starts and And the message for the church or for the you know, what is to come The Lord Jesus asked him to write down. Right? So this is what he writes down. So revelation 5 He he continues to write about what he saw, right? And this is what he saw revelation 5 and 6 he looked and in the midst of the throne there were four living creatures and There were these so several people are mentioned there, right the living creatures the elders then you see the land and then Which having seven horns and seven eyes and seven spirits of God and you know always mentioned there so So this is what he Okay, this is what he saw, right? So So he's just explaining what he saw. Okay, I hope that helps now If you know if your question is Okay, what is what are those seven horns? What are those seven eyes and what are the seven spirits? If you I just want to request you to hold on a little You know just put it on pause We will address that, you know, we're going to be looking at how this Holy Spirit is the spirit of revelation wisdom and so on So we looking at the we'll be looking at Isaiah chapter 11 and where it talks about the seven characteristics or aspects of God and seven being number of completion Okay, so So we will be looking at that I hope that's fine Zalitoli, right? Yes. Yes, thank you. Okay And to be caught as a question. How does the Holy Spirit work in human beings? Amazing ways we cannot function as believers without the Holy Spirit, right? The Holy Spirit speaks to us He's the one who gives us the confidence that we are sons and daughters of God, you know, we might wake up one morning and feel that Hey, I feel so disconnected from God. I feel I feel all weird and I Feel I feel as if I'm not a believer. The Holy Spirit gives us the confirmation He gives us the confidence because that is what we read in Romans chapter 8. He actually Confirms to us that we are sons and daughters of the most high God It is cause of the Holy Spirit that we cry out above our father So that is just identity, you know, the identity that we have Holy Spirit gives to us all Enforces that Holy Spirit also teaches us the Lord Jesus says that he will he will teach you things to come He will guide you into all truth. The Holy Spirit kicks us of sin The Holy Spirit reveals scripture to us and so many other things, right? So he is the one who There he releases the gifts so we can minister effectively and so on so we're going to be looking at all that In the classes to come Okay, how is the Holy Spirit the the spirit of truth? okay, so John 14 17, okay, I'm just going to copy all these questions and You know, we'll put that in that sheet also, right? Just a minute, please Okay, okay, so Just a couple of questions, okay, how is Holy Spirit the spirit of truth of course one of the You know things that we see is that The Lord Jesus when he's talking about himself in you know in that same chapter He says that he's the way the truth and the life so one of the characteristics of God is that He's truth personified It's this very nature to If you want truth you look at God, right? He is righteous He's the very opposite of what unrighteousness is and when we say that he is the spirit of truth the Lord Jesus himself is saying that he is the spirit of the truth that is one of his characteristics or That is his nature that he Reveals truth that he is truth itself, you know, that's his character. That's his nature So he will lead us into truth You know that gives us confidence that he will not lead us into error Which is the opposite of truth or he will not deceive us Lead us into deception, but he is the spirit of truth if you look at that worse He says he will dwell with you he will be with you and And and you will know him and he will be with you and so on and if you and we read through That was that chapter, sorry We see that Holy Spirit is the helper and he will teach you and he will cause you to remember He will he will remind you bring to remembrance all the things that the Lord Jesus has taught has spoken so this is the work of Holy Spirit, you know, he's a spirit of truth. So we know that he will not lead us into error He will teach us and where we when we know that he will teach us what is the truth He will not teach us something that is You know that is mixed with lies or something that is Okay So Josh, I hope that helps Another question is How can a sinning man still speak in tongues and move on the gifts and you know, Romans 11 29 We looked at the bus this morning in the mentoring session We see that the gifts and the calling are really walkable Okay, so if you look at the gift of tongue specifically It's given so that we will be Edified personally, you know 1 Corinthians 14 talks about he who speaks in a tongue edifies himself builds up himself There's a you know spiritual edification happening. There's something that is built in the inner man The gift of tongues also, you know, we speak the mysteries of God again 1 Corinthians 14 You know, we talks about how we speak the mysteries of God how they God has put this in place or release that for believers so that we can speak the mysteries of God that You know, so this a gift that he's given us so that we might be strong and overcome the things of the flesh Right, so that's a beautiful as if he's the gift of tongues is released to a person because he's reached a several You know a level of holiness. No, he is given to us and we might be struggling in different things But he's given to us that we might be edified Spirit of God comes and dwells us that we might be edified. He wants us to become like Jesus So that's a beautiful thing that we know struggling in several things, but the gift actually Is to bring us out of that To make us conform to the image of Jesus. He has come to do that He's come to teachers. He's come to feed us into truth and one of the ways he does that is by Release the gifts of tongues. We're going to study about the gift of learn for the gift of tongues as well So that's going to be exciting Okay Okay, I think Abu Bakr as the lifter his hand you have a question Abu Bakr. Okay, if you have a question you can put it in the chat I I'm okay. Another question. What is the familiar spirit and how does it come into a believer's life? Okay a familiar spirit is obviously a spirit it's it's a it's it's an evil spirit and We we see that I'll share the reference a little later but if I'm a spirit actually is familiar with our ways is familiar with you know the ways of You know, maybe our history and so on and and the work of the spirit is to actually Take us away from the destiny of God, right? Maybe create create some kind of Confusion so it's it's definitely opposite of the of what God wants or what the Holy Spirit wants for us So how does the Holy's how does the family spirit come into a life of the believer? Could be several ways. Maybe a person is deceived Maybe a sin Rebels against God. It could be several ways where we open up a doorway for the spirit to influence a person or you know, so it So we'll talk about you know more about the spiritual realm and the work of You know the work of the evil spirits and so on in another course But this is this is what I can share When does the Holy Spirit come in a believer Aradhana? So, you know, if you when you at the time Scripture says when we believe when we receive The Lord Jesus into our lives we are sealed by the Holy Spirit and he at that moment He comes and he indwells us He's the one who teaches us and shows us that we are children of the Messiah God So he indwells us. So if you have received the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior and and you are born again Then you can be sure that the Holy Spirit indwells you to teach you to to show you And also to confirm the things right that you are a child of God Right. Okay. How can a believer receive? Okay. That was your question. How about you? How can a believer receive the power of the Holy Spirit? Okay, so the power of the Holy Spirit? You know the Lord Jesus when he instructed his disciples, he Know they were already following the Lord. He told them to wait for wait in Jerusalem. He said that Wait in Jerusalem so that You know for you will have an encounter you will have an experience and we see that We see that in accept a one where We see that You accept a one and worse was five You have heard from me for June John truly baptized with water But you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now Okay, that accept a one was five Except a one was eight, but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you And you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and through the ends of the earth Okay, so so how does how can I believe I receive by simply by asking and receiving and And that's how it's as simple as that right? That's how we see The believers in the book of Acts they pray they were in prayer and they see first instance that we see the day of Pentecost they were all in prayer and Holy Spirit came upon them and they were in filled or filled with the Holy Spirit Okay, how did indwelling of the Holy Spirit differ from the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Okay? We're going to take a lot of time Looking at that. Okay that question Alessia. So Is there a difference? Let me just answer this. You know, is there a difference? Yes. Okay, and why is there a difference? Very quickly if you look at it One the indwelling is for our personal edification is for our personal growth. The Holy Spirit comes to help us Lead us out of sin into the truth The anointing or the baptism is for For for him to flow out of us It does not mean that you know, he will he will deal with stuff in our lives But it's to flow out of us like a river to touch lives to touch Touch others, you know, that's what we see right in Acts 1 8 You will receive power you will be witnesses and you will go and do these things you'll be witnesses in all these places So empowering us to be witnesses. So that's the Work or that's the reason objective of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Okay Can I believe I have the Holy Spirit and the familiar spirit? Okay? Nicholson and once we receive the Holy Spirit, is it possible that you might leave because of sin? Okay? I think we are actually No progressing further Into what we are going to be looking at and it's 953. What we'll do is we'll take a break and Then we'll come back and we look at these questions as well. Okay, so you can Make a break a quick 10 minute break and then we'll come back. Thank you so much. Thank you, Pastor
