21 Lifestyles of the Evangelist – Absolute
Introduction
Effort X
Faith O
What faith are we talking about? Believing that everyone I meet is a blessed meeting God arranged for me. You have to have the faith that every work you do is the work for saving lives in order for you to see the work taking place. So, no matter how much you try to evangelize, you don’t have faith. Because you keep trying to do it with your own strength and power, you can’t continue, because it’s from your own strength, so later on, it will end.
Look at Ishmael, God said he wasn’t the one. They thought it was the spiritual child, but God cast him aside. It has to be by faith. When I’m there by faith, God will work upon my faith, so the evangelists must have faith, that God has prepared people to receive salvation through me, and this point must be conveyed at the regional churches. Otherwise, it will just be pharisaical word memorization because you don’t have faith. But absolutely, someone will receive this gospel.
Gospel
What’s the point of a regional church if you have no faith? It’s better if you listen to YouTube then, and if the Word isn’t proclaimed in the regional churches, what’s the point? There’s nothing bad, but you have to have the faith that is conveyed that God has set aside someone to receive salvation in that region in order for the works to take place.
Church – Religion
They go to church, but they live religiously. There are those who used to go to church, and some who don’t go anymore, but all these people need healing.
Disciple (Committed Workers)
There are people set aside to proclaim the gospel, these are committed workers, you need to give them the direction. These people are prepared wherever I am, and God is giving you this work as you hold onto this promise. If this aspect is blocked but you keep receiving the Word, that’s when you have the knowledge of the Pharisees.
“I will bless all nations through you,” you have to have faith in this, because God will work upon those who have this faith. So, you throw the gospel at someone, “Is this the person God has set aside?” Then you try. Even if it’s not today, the preparation for the meeting may just happen tomorrow, so we meet with that kind of heart.
Works arise because of your faith, not your effort. This is a very important content because only such people can evangelize. This has nothing to do with training; it’s those who believe this who can do this work. The people who lead the regional churches have to have this kind of faith and go forward with this faith that God has set people aside, and challenge towards the Word in faith and prayer. You do regional churches online, it’s the same thing.
Problem
What is the problem of life? It’s not what you can see; it’s what you can’t see. We have this invisible source of problems from which all problems come. Unless you solve the source of problems, your problems will continue to come.
Sin, Satan, Separation
Sin is not believing in God, and you’re seized by Satan which is the fundamental problem. The fact that you’ve left God, you’re in the midst of curses and disasters, so that’s a problem. But no one knows or talks about this, so they hold onto incorrect answers, so because they don’t know this problem, we must tell them this problem.
Christ
People don’t look for Christ for these invisible problems, but they ask Christ to solve their physical problems. That’s just religion, so what’s the point? That’s why you’re not able to evangelize. That’s not something that can occur. You have to know the problem and answer.
John 19:30
Jesus said everything is finished, and because it’s finished, you can go into the source of blessings, and you have to have faith in this and believe and enjoy this. That’s how you give the answer. You are the spiritual kings who save physical kings. You are the spiritual priests to block disasters, you are the spiritual prophets who shine the light of Christ so people can come to know this. It is finished, there is nothing that can be a problem, why? Because we’re children of God and have this status from which nothing can be a problem.
From this moment, we have power. It is not my power but God’s power where a problem isn’t a problem. Even though I’m depressed, power to overcome the depression comes to me because I have the spiritual blessings that come with my status. But people who don’t believe, they say you need medicine.
Medicine
“Pastor, are words enough?” It’s because they studied a little bit, they’re educated, but if you study enough, you’ll see that even with medicine, you’ll go up and down so much that you can’t pay attention; so, even the medicine is used for us to receive the Word. The medicine itself is not the solution, we have to have this fundamental strength and peace, and we have to relay this, but you cannot, why? Because you don’t understand the gospel and you’re stuck in religion.
Not a lot of people understand the gospel, they know Jesus without the gospel. They know about the love of the cross and shed their tears, “He died for me,” but they don’t know about the real problem. I cry when watching movies. “My father usually doesn’t say anything but now he said something,” but tears aren’t evidence. Your heart becoming fired up is not evidence. If you fell into immorality, you’d be passionate about that. This grace has to come upon you, but this doesn’t come into you, does it? You don’t have to cry about this, you just have to receive it in faith, then that person will be able to relay the answers.
God’s Kingdom, Word, Prayer
Those who have Christ can enjoy God’s Kingdom. Because I’ve received Jesus Christ and He is my Master, God’s Kingdom comes upon me, and He is ruling over me and controls me with the Word. Every time we pray, God works transcending time and space. Prayer is when you become aligned with the Word, but we’re not able to pray, so we cannot teach prayer. So when we tell the remnants to pray, they don’t know how to pray. Because they don’t know the gospel, they don’t know what prayer is.
When you tell them to pray, they think it’s any kind of Buddhist prayer, so all these awkward things are being relayed, people can’t come to life. There’s the Word and I receive the Word, so life is misaligned with the Word, then matching my life with the Word is prayer. I pray so the Word is applied to my life, but this works transcending time and space.
Only the Holy Spirit (Witness)
Mission
Only the Word. God’s Kingdom gives you a mission, it’s not something you do, but it is your promise. You enjoy the things God has prepared. We think it’s something we have to do because we don’t have faith. God has already prepared all nations, go make disciples of all nations. But how do we receive it? Because Jesus is not the master, but I’m the master, I lose hold of Christ and everything; it’s not the Kingdom of God, but it’s the Kingdom of Satan, and it’s not the Holy Spirit, but it’s my strength, and it’s not the life of the evangelist, but it’s my life.
We sit here and we want to succeed and live as slaves, and this is passed down from generation to generation. It seems like at first you go to good schools, but you’re living the lives of slaves. According to the time schedule, when the time comes, you’ll suffer in Egypt. But because you’re a child of God, according to God’s time schedule, God will give the blood covenant. Until then, He says, “Live diligently,” but that’s the life of those who live in Egypt.
You think if you study or work a little bit, you can succeed? All of that is slavery because we are in the midst of problems. We have to give worship in God’s kingdom, but we don’t, then we’re wasting our time. We decide what we can or cannot do, and that’s the life of a slave. A child of God should confidently live in the Kingdom of God, but instead, the Holy Spirit cannot work. Why not? Power has to come upon us so we can overcome the field. But you cannot overcome with your power; the more you do that, the more you are a slave.
Heavenly Mandate
All nations must be saved.
Calling
What am I going to do today? The Three Todays are not a program, but what you are going to enjoy that day. It’s today’s word, today’s prayer, today’s mission, and it’s enjoying today. “I’m going to continue to hold onto this for my entire life,” don’t say that, just focus on today. Your life is determined by your today, and your mission is something you hold onto for your entire life, but we lose hold of today. Our calling becomes our mission. The life of the evangelist have these messages that must fit together.
Edison had a mission to create the lightbulb. He had this heavenly mandate, everyone must live in non-candle-lit rooms, “I will challenge towards this.” What are you going to do today for that work? Because you have to do this research today. Because if you’re holding onto the mission but you lose hold of today, then your entire life will become nothing. It’s the unchanging heavenly mandate. The world ends when the gospel is preached to all nations, then what will we do towards that end, for our life?
What do we do today? Why do we have roles in the church? Why must I live today? Who am I meeting today? Is evangelism done by someone great falling from the sky? No, today. In the seemingly small meetings of today, there’s God’s plans, but we lose hold of all of that, so what do we hold onto? Our work, our studies. How do we meet people and what are the physical things we see?
Rightful
What does it mean to be rightful? It’s rightful, because you have unbelief, you live a life of unbelief. Because you’re talking about money, you have money problems. It’s not a problem, but because you’re making money an idol, it’s a problem.
Necessary
Then, what is a necessary thing? Every day, you say “money, money,” then finally a money problem comes to you, then what is necessary here? You have to find it. I’m caught up in a problem, then what is the necessary thing God wants to show me?
Absolute Plan
What’s God’s absolute plan? It’s to bring me out. What is rightful? I was talking about this earlier, about Saturday, and Jacob came to worship with Young Adult Evangelism School, and I asked Fanny why didn’t she join worship, and she exclaimed, “Am I a workaholic?” I’m talking to her about the wisdom of life, but she’s asking if she’s a workaholic. “What is wrong with this human being,” I thought, because why would she react this way?
I told her, “Once we get home, you’re done because you’re so rude.” But this isn’t something I can fix, just by showing that she’s rude, because that’s just education. If I tell her, “You’re rude,” she won’t change. So, I went home and sat her mother down and I explained the facts. Her mother asked, “When your dad said this to you, why did you react in this way?” She said, “Oh, because Dad is comparing me and Jacob.” She thought, “Jacob is worshiping but I wasn’t.” She has to be someone who’s always number 1, who always worships the most, so when she thought I was comparing her to Jacob, the demon came in and made her react so violently.
I explained this to her, “This is a good thing,” so her mother said, “There is a problem inside of you, you’re arrogant, because whenever someone says something to you, you compare yourself to others. But at the same time, it’s the same as having an inferiority complex. What can you do to change this? You are a child of God. There is a path you must go. If it is not that path, then it’s going to be difficult, because you’ll have to compete with others, and if others are better than you, you’ll be oppressed. This is not just a problem you have with me, but wherever you go, you’ll continue to have these problems, so you have to come out of yourself, and every time this happens, you have to say, ‘I’m a child of God, I have a talent for world evangelization that God set aside for me,’ and then the demon will flee.’”
This became a very good opportunity. So no matter how much I try to educate her and discipline her, it won’t change the fundamental source of what’s happening inside. It’s the rightful things that have taken place, why? Because instead of themselves, they’re planted in their arrogance. After a little bit, she says, “I can understand why Pastor’s Kids have so much pressure and don’t go to church.” “Where did you hear this from? Those are words of the demon, because the devil is plowing into your thoughts. All the pastors’ kids go to church, everyone is giving worship, so what pressure are you talking about?
“What kind of foolishness are you talking about the pastors’ kids? Because they’re children of God, they have unfathomable blessings.” Mankind listens to the words of the devil, they hold onto the words of people so much and if they fail, they hold onto excuses for why they fail. There is a Prime Minister Angela Merkel, and she received a pension package worth 80% of her salary, and this was unprecedented. So, typically people lose popularity over time, but this person has been very popular. There were people who would compete, but her father was a pastor who went into Germany to proclaim the gospel. When Germany was reunified, the leadership did well, and as they lived in unified Germany, they regained their strength of the old Germany.
This is just a brief overview, but we always listen to the words of demons. So, if you look at the leaders of the church, they listen to the words of demons. They say, “how many people can actually do this?” and they only hold onto the words of demons because they only talk about things from themselves, right? Because when I talk to them about physical possessions, they enjoy so much grace, but when I talk to them about this, they leave because they don’t like it.
Rightful things come out of your kids, stop making excuses. Why did I give you my example between me and my daughter? I’m trying to show you what is rightful, then the necessary things will come, why? Because the rightful thing is there. Because something other than the gospel is there, then absolutely, the necessary thing will come. If it’s not the gospel, eventually it will show up. The kids who have spiritual problems growing up, the spiritual problems will arise, and if the parents don’t know their kids very well, they’ll blame the kids their friends meet. This is something rightful.
The thing they’re holding onto is coming out. It’s not the church or the school, but the parents lie. They think it’s enough to cover for their kids, but that’s not enough; they must know what is rightful. It will necessarily come out. You can’t keep trying to package it. You have to discover God’s absolute plan and the rightful things will come out. This is the life of the evangelist.
Let’s say someone is ill, it is something rightful and necessary. Within that, find God’s plan. Don’t beg God, God doesn’t like that. Is He some kind of doctor that only takes care of your illnesses? No, fundamentally He gave you this incident so the rightful things can be planted within you, and that’s what you call the life of the evangelist.
The life of the evangelist is what has crumbled. Parents will lie, even as rightful things come out necessarily, they’ll say, “It’s the wrong friends and wrong people. I planted the gospel in the kids, why does this keep happening?” It’s not 100% the gospel, it’s something similar to the gospel, so there’s no choice but for this to happen, because you’re holding onto something that isn’t the gospel, so this comes out. Then you have to find and hold onto God’s plan that is unchanging.
Philippians 4:13
So you have to discover God’s absolute plan, because even if a problem comes, if I’m able to discover God’s absolute plan, I can do all things. No matter how much you crumble, it’s impossible for anyone. Even for the one who has crumbled, there’s nothing God cannot do.
Genesis 45:5
When Joseph met his brothers, he could have said, “My brothers tried to kill me,” but these were the words he spoke after he became governor, “You did not do this to me, God used your wicked hearts to send me ahead of you to do the work of saving lives.” You have to find that absolute plan, why? Because God is not a dummy. Because what God has allowed is occurring within God’s absolute sovereignty, and Joseph found that. Otherwise he would be scarred; his mom passed away and he’d be sad, but he found God’s absolute plan.
“The 11 stars and the sun and moon would bow down to you,” this is world evangelization. Do you think God gave him this dream so he could be governor? Then why Joseph? There were other governors as well, but God is saying, “I will carry out Abraham’s covenant through you,” so the brothers tried to kill him because he was arrogant and a tattle-tale, so his brothers hated him and he deserved what he received. But from that point on, Joseph closed his mouth. It’s rightful and necessary, because it’s God’s plan for him to hold onto the Word and pray.
Ultimately, as he goes along this path towards being the governor, God gives him this Word, and those who believe and enjoy and convey this are living the life of the evangelist. If the evangelist doesn’t enjoy this, then religion and the law will come upon them. “Look what you did,” you’ll point fingers and judge people. He would have been resentful, “It’s great that I can meet you again, I can kill you now,” but then he wouldn’t be able to save anyone.
“God gave me the covenant,” and you have to find the reason God gave you the covenant, otherwise you’ll go down the wrong path. “You did not sell me, but God worked through you,” and if you discover God’s plan, everyone will come to life because God moves everything to save everyone. If one person like this exists in the region, everyone can come to life.
“My husband sucks,” it doesn’t matter. Realistically you’re using humanism, and at that time, the life of the evangelist tells you to look for God’s plan, because otherwise, your ministries won’t amount to anything. But it’s amazing, people do ministries that divide their families. Don’t ever do this. A majority of people are like this, and people try to divorce and chase their husbands away. Such people don’t believe in God’s covenant, because if they chase others out, it will be a problem.
If you don’t see God’s plan, it will turn out like this. It’s not a problem that can be solved by the president or a pastor. This is something that only the evangelist can do, because only then can you save. That’s what we’re talking about, that’s Joseph. He saved himself, his brothers, and that’s why everyone around him gathered towards him, and that’s an evangelist. You can understand that, right?
Exodus 4:24
God gave Moses a mission, but Moses said he couldn’t do it. It’s rightful, why? Because he’s never lived with the strength of the covenant, so he thinks, “How could I possibly do this mission?” No matter how much you receive God’s Word, the things within you are rightfully coming out, so God tried to kill him. If you have no mission, you have to die, because if you don’t have a mission, you just go to heaven quickly. At that point, his wife Zipporah circumcised Moses and at that moment, he discovered God’s plan and what God would do, because if Moses received the Word, he would have unbelief, “How could I do that?”
“How can I do world evangelization?” But the more I listen to it, the more burdensome it becomes. Hold to the covenant, this is something God will do, then you must discover that absolute plan. If you don’t know this, even if you come to church, if anything, it’s better for you to not come to church at all, because if you come as a religious person, you’ll be confused, but you have no faith. “How am I going to do all this work?” Until you have faith, God is going to do the work.
1 Samuel 3:19
It means that Samuel never spoke a useless word, it means he only held onto the Word. So, everything that came out of his mouth was fulfilled, and this was God’s absolute plan. You don’t need your thoughts, but because you keep thinking, you keep getting scarred. What is God’s plan? It’s for you to receive His Word. When you come to church on Sunday, you have to restore everything that happened in the week with the Word, so that’s why everything you speak throughout the week is fulfilled, because if you receive grace, you’re bound to talk about this grace.
If you’re a fertile ground and the seed falls into you, it will sprout. If the seed lands on rocky or thorny soil, you’ll be filled with anxieties and the Word can’t go into you. If you think the Word is the Word, but you’re going to study long into the night, you’ll be enslaved. “I’m going to play all day on Saturday because this is my resting time,” if you keep going in this direction, you’ll try to find what makes you happy. With that kind of ground, you go into Sunday worship, so the Word doesn’t mean anything to you, why? Because instead of God’s Word, you think mankind can be happy on their own, so the Word doesn’t go into you.
Then what happens? You can’t discover God’s plan in the midst of your problems, so you have to go towards dramas and you get addicted. So, people who go down this path receive the Word and it seems foolish to them and they can’t understand it. There’s Squid Game, and even all the pastors are talking about it, the entire world is talking about it. Based on the popularity, it’s a TV show for this game that resonates with people.
Pastors who follow the flow of these things and this culture well, and I don’t know, but it’s entertaining. But when I come to church, it’s not entertaining. Is it wrong to like the Squid Game? It’s not wrong; the show isn’t wrong, but you’re wrong. The world is not incorrect; you’re incorrect, because you’re unable to process what is in the world.
That’s why when you listen to music, the spiritual influence of the music comes upon you, if you don’t have the power to overcome this influence, you’ll be dragged around by the musical influence. Once you get a taste of that, you’ll come to church and have no taste for the word. Everything is the same. People date boyfriends and girlfriends and worship is lost. Do you know what I’m talking about? It seems good, because it’s a different life from what you used to live, but one must date from within the covenant. Because if the one without the covenant is dating, they’ll be seized by that and they’ll go towards that only. Then eventually when there’s a problem within that family, they’ll use humanism. It is normal for you to give worship and meet friends there.
1 Samuel 16:13
When Samuel anointed David with oil, it means the three roles of the anointing designated David as the future king, so because David will be the king, God’s spirit must come upon him. If this word seems far away from you, you don’t understand and think it’s irrelevant to you because it’s only relevant for David, but we’re spiritual kings. God will anoint us and give us the power of the Holy Spirit, and we have to conquer the work we do with this strength. If you think this is only relevant for David, it’s irrelevant to you.
I am a spiritual king, and because of this, God’s power has no choice but to come upon me, why? Because I have to save kings, I have to save the summits in my region and in my area. You have to hold onto this for the physical answers to follow. Because if you don’t have the intention or plan of saving the summits, why would God bless you? You don’t know who you are, so you stay at the bottom, at the level of eating and surviving. You have to rule and subdue, but you have no strength. You have to save the summits of the 237 nations and the 5000 unreached people groups. If you have this, God will attach the people to you, or God will raise you to a position so you can meet these people, why? Because you have to give them this answer. You don’t have strength, so God will give you the power of the Holy Spirit. That’s why God had to work upon him.
God’s power left King Saul. Many people don’t praise and they’re headaches. Maybe I don’t sing praise very well, but people are so conflicted, it’s to the point where they can’t even give praise. They have such high expectations, they are stressed. Then, you can kind of see them revealing what kind of shaky situation they’ve been living in as they praise. Some people will go outside and walk away during worship time. If you come to worship, you have to give worship, but instead they walk back and forth outside. Even the pastors are giving worship, then who are you to be outside, walking back and forth outside? It’s not like you’re doing anything, but your spiritual state is shaking.
That’s why worship is the time to renew the “me” that used to live like that. Praise is a method for you to bind the forces of darkness. But many people can’t praise when they come to worship because they’ve struggled so much throughout the week, and their hearts have sunk all the way down, they can’t praise with a joyous heart. Some people have a good God-given voice, but they think about how to stand before people instead of worshiping God. They are seized, enslaved by success to the world. If you use the things you have for God, then God’s answer will come upon you.
That’s why worship is a spiritual battle, but because you can’t worship, those around you cannot worship because it’s absolutely true that the spiritual things are relayed. You can’t win the spiritual battle. In Matthew 4, the devil tried to steal worship, praise is a part of worship, and when David praised, the demons afflicting King Saul departed. Satan will control your heart so there’s no way you can praise.
2 Kings 2:9-11
The fact that he asked for a double portion of spirit means he knew something. If he was only trying to succeed, there would be no need. If he was trying to make money, there would be no reason for him to follow Elijah. Jericho was the most developed region at the time, the land prices were good, so he could have stayed there, but this means he saw something. “In the work of binding the idolatry and forces of darkness, this is only done by the working of the Holy Spirit.”
“Pastor, I can’t have the filling of the Holy Spirit because I haven’t discovered the reason for it yet.” You have to hold onto world evangelization to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn’t coming to you to control you like a robot, but the Holy Spirit will come upon you and use your entire being to do the work of saving lives, so he knew the reason for the filling of the Holy Spirit because he was one who discovered God’s absolute plan.
But if you don’t discover this and ask for the filling of the Holy Spirit, then what plan are you holding onto? It’s incorrect, and in areas like this, the Holy Spirit will not work. That’s why Elisha saw this of God. If someone says, “Why is evangelism so hard?” it means they haven’t discovered God’s plan yet. If they saw that God’s plan is to save, then God would give the spiritual strength to do it.
How can we evangelize America? If you see that it cannot be done without Jesus Christ, God will work upon you with power. How can we do Temple Construction? This is not something we can do out of our circumstance, then why do we need this? God gives the power to do this for the ones who know. That’s why the people who receive answers and blessings are set aside.
Out of so many other prophets, Elisha received this blessing. Out of so many people, God uses the one who discovered this, so it’s the one who has faith, not the one thinking they’re all that. But if someone knows God’s plan, then wisdom, power, and money will follow. You ask for that power. Then what blessed plan of God are you discovering? Instead, people aren’t interested in Temple Construction. We are not concerned by it, because God is saying He will do it anyway. We go towards it in faith and we do what we can, knowing God is working through us, giving us the power to do Temple Construction.
Whether it comes to my daughter or me, it doesn’t matter, because it will come. God has to reveal the evidence to those who don’t believe. It’s the same thing. God’s power has to come upon us. If we hold onto God’s plan, then His power will come upon us. If we hold onto God’s power and our own plan, He won’t do it, so there’s a difference of heaven and earth between a religious person and a gospel-based person.
Acts 19:21
Paul completely gave the gospel to Macedonia, which is modern-day Europe, and he said he would go to Jerusalem. When he goes to Jerusalem, they will call him a heretic and throw him in prison, why? Because the Jews of Jerusalem were in an uproar, persecuting the Christians and finding any reason to imprison him. Some women prophetesses said, “You’ll be imprisoned if you go,” and it was a correct prophecy, but you have to listen to the words of the evangelist. If you only listen to prophecies, you won’t receive God’s Word.
Why do you have to listen to the words of the evangelist? Because God works through evangelism, so you must listen to the words of the evangelist. Even if you hear the prophecies of other people, you have to be moved by God. The person prophesized but interpreted it incorrectly, because that’s actually the way to go to Rome for free. If you pray, you’ll receive answers like this. This is the path that only the evangelist can see, because this is the path where God guides you.
Those who don’t evangelize aren’t aligned with God’s Word, so it’s best if you don’t talk, because it’s all incorrect anyway. That’s how, ultimately, God brought Paul to Rome for free, and there was no threat to his life because the Roman soldiers protected him, and he held onto this plan of sharing the gospel to Caesar, and that’s the life of the evangelist.
To those who evangelize and hold to the covenant, God will fulfill His plan, so don’t listen to the words of foolish people; listen to the words of the evangelist, because there’s nothing God cannot do, and even now, He is fulfilling evangelism, and those who hold onto the covenant can see that. Because there’s something God gave to the evangelists only through COVID-19, and God moves accordingly.
Unbelievers can’t do this, it’s only the evangelists, because even now, God is doing world evangelization, and God proclaims the gospel to people throughout America through the evangelists. Even if those people don’t listen to the words of the evangelists, the disasters are blocked through prayer, but people keep holding onto their stubbornness until their lives are flipped upside down. They never listen, why? They trust their own experiences and specialties, like the ship captain, “There’s no storm coming!”
Paul said, “Let’s stop here,” but the captain said to Paul, “Are you the captain? Do you know how to sail a ship? I’ve so much experience,” but eventually the storm comes, but because of the evangelist, everyone was able to live. That’s the kind of person God has called you to be in this region. When you hold to the covenant of saving the region, God will show you His power.
If you resolve in your heart to save someone, God will give you the answer, because even now, God is giving and fulfilling the Word to save lives, and evangelists, if you hold onto the work of saving lives and pray, God will fulfill it. It’s not complicated; it’s very simple. 237 evangelism, world evangelization, America evangelism, 5000 unreached people groups, this is the covenant. The more you hold onto other things, the more time you’re wasting. Then if you go outside of this, the devil will give you another thought. He will make it so you go back to the old thoughts you used to hold onto before.
24 hours means you’re constantly holding onto this. If you just put this into your head, it won’t go into your heart, but hold onto this through prayer because God gives the evidence and the Word.
Prayer
Father God, thank You. May the life of the evangelist become my life. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen.
