2819 Church - Watch Your Mouth | Psalm 103:1-14 | Arik Hayes

Episode Date: July 2, 2025

In this timely standalone message, Elder Arik walked us through Psalm 103:1–13, urging us to bless the Lord with our whole being and watch what we preach to our inner soul. We were reminded that our mouths were made to magnify, called to proclaim the truth of our Heavenly Father who loves us.

You guys can have a seat Bless your name holy one Bless your name holy one Anybody enjoy that time with him right there? That was good for your soul. I know we're going to get to the word. I just want to bask in his presence. The Holy Ghost is already working. And even in our agenda and the experiences we want to go along with what he is already doing. You deserve the glory.

Alright, alright, beloved. Welcome to 2819 Church today. Alright, welcome, welcome, welcome. Alright, as customary, my name is Eric Hayes, I'm one of two elders here. And we are, thank you, God bless you. We are a church that is indeed beloved. We've baked this entire DNA. We will continue to bake it into the DNA of this house. We are a house of prayer, presence, and proclamation. I want to welcome the

online community of digital disciples. Shout out to, I want to say my sister, I forget your name, you actually hit me up. When she's in Australia says she was looking for a community. I reached out. We had a brief a brief conversation We value you family Thank you, thank you, thank you family love you guys too. Right? We're really serious. We're really serious about shepherding your souls, man. Okay? Lot of prayer, intentionality, thank you. Prayer, intentionality, reading of the scriptures,

sitting before the Lord, saying, what do you want us to tell your people? That's the disposition of the heart God what do you want to tell your people's that's one of us want to pause right local and abroad We care We care. We care. Because the Lord cares for us. I want to welcome the unbeliever.

If you're around here, man, and you're struggling with the claims claims of Christ man Yeah, you clap for that. You don't have to If you're struggling man, it's kind of slipping in slipping out And you know don't don't notice me or whatever when we do notice you because we love you We plan for you. We want you to be here. We set a seat at the table for you You. Why? Why? Why? Nothing baked into the DNA of this ecclesia.

We want you to get saved. We want you to join us aboard the ark of safety that is Christ Jesus. But we also understand that's not something that can be manufactured. That's something you actually have to have the Holy Spirit prick your heart and God gives you a measure of faith to join us in the kingdom and the family. So we want to welcome you. All right. Our honorable mention definitely goes to our our pastor. I will continue to say it. You can honor him. You can honor him. Now why do you do that? Why do you keep doing that? You do it every time you get up here and preach. Why don't you just get to the word? No. No, we will

not. Right? One, we have a culture of honor. Right? A culture of honor here is it's up to God, it's horizontal, right? To our colleagues, our brothers and sisters. And if you have somebody under you that serves under you in this experience, you better be honoring them too. And if not, we want to hear about it at the top. Amen. Okay. But also we want to honor our pastor because he has put his hand to the plow and the work of Christ of which we all benefit. So I definitely want to honor him there.

As a church, we're definitely continuing to walk through the book of Matthew in a series we titled Entry and End Times. However, I've been given another assignment to deliver a standalone message that today I'm still kind of flirting with the title I'm a throw this out. See how you feel about it. I'm gonna say watch your mouth Y'all like that one you might stick with it watch your mouth

All right now by your heads, let me pray for us Holy Father I thank you for your scriptures, for your spirit, for your provision, for your healing, for the revelation of who you are, for community, for perfecting the things that are concerning us. I thank you for being here in this moment, God. And you being all knowing, you know exactly what is on the heart of everyone that is tuned in. In person or via live stream. Or even if it's the one that goes upon the record in God.

We lift all of us up to you right now, all of our souls to be addressed by you, our Father. God, as I look to deliver this sermon, God, I look to very much decrease that you would increase and that your people would be blessed by something eternal something life-changing by the Spirit of God it's in Jesus name we pray amen and amen all right family so I grew up in an era, right, that I know we, you know, high-tech, whatever, holograms, like we actually meet more people online than we meet in person, right?

It's been a shift over the last like two decades or so. But I grew up in an era, right, where you actually said stuff to people in person. And I grew up in an era where you judged what you said with the knowledge that the person that you were talking to could all of a sudden appear and you had to deal with them. And actually, even though it wasn't the internet people like real salacious gossip that they knew could turn into a fight in school It just happens to be like that information to spread like wildfire and it found that person relatively quickly So you can say something on the bus and after lunch now you have a problem

Because the person that you were talking to has heard about it and now they're coming to face you Three o'clock after school many of nervous people have been looking at the clock usually at the end of school You like it get it over with I'm trying to go home. No, no, no, he's like, please keep me another another period. I want after school detention. I have things to do Let me join the club. I don't want to be by myself to face Who I said something about After that right three o'clock or I also grew up in a in a in the 80s, right? It's my mom's name is Linda Used to be Linda Dixon. Our name is Linda Murphy, right? I come from Jackson North Carolina and now I didn't play this because mom my mother didn't play this right?

but some of y'all heard from a Parent when you got just a little bit spicy Right a little bit spicy, right? A little bit spicy. They would say something to you, let you know you are about to get offensive or you already become offensive and you about to take it to another level.

They would give you a warning. Sometimes your only warning in the black and brown context and they would say, watch your mouth. Then even if you were not aware after you heard that you just understood that I need to watch what I am saying to this person Right But I'm willing I'm willing to bet good money If I was a betting man

That when I said watch your mouth, very few and probably none of you listening here thought about the things that you say to yourself. Because some of the most heinous things that you say in your inner dialogue, sometimes out loud, is to your own soul. You know why it stays heinous? Most of you never say it out loud. You get in the mirror and you just murmur,

I'm so ugly. So fat. Nobody loves me. I'm so ugly, so fat. Nobody loves me. The person that's with me is going to leave me anyway. Why even try? My mom never loved me. How can this person love me? I'll never get out of this town.

God can never use me because of what I've done. I'm too far gone. The gospel's for everyone except me. Inner dialogue. And if we were to take all of your inner dialogue and put them on paper and make it a book, many of you would be ashamed to let that book out. Right? But the tough thing is,

it's already doing damage in your own soul. So with that being said, we're gonna jump into the scriptures today. It's gonna be Psalms 103, if you all wanna start turning to it, we'll put it up, right? And the scriptures have actually notated and preserved for us

Some inner dialogue of King David All right, let's see how you talk to himself. All right, let's go 103 verse 1 We're gonna do one on one on one and two together verse 1 says bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me bless his holy day verse 2 it says bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all his benefits. I really I want to spend 40 minutes right

here but I can't right? Listen, listen, listen beloved, listen beloved sometimes you need to talk to your own soul. But doesn't that make me crazy? I would venture this is how you can stop yourself from going crazy when crazy is around you You have to stop and address your own soul. I Will venture to say that some of the most important sermons that you will listen to will not come from a platform or a podcast It's gonna come from a platform or a podcast. It's going to come from your own soul. Guess what? You're around yourself way more than you're around us.

You're around yourself way more than you hit iTunes or wherever you look at your podcast, you're around yourself way more. And dare I say you are a preacher. I Didn't necessarily say you part of the five-fold ministry, but you are a preacher and Your audience the vast majority of time is yourself Right. So so so King David here and and I've read just some research that someone suggests this actually happens It is later years when he pins this right? He says bless the Lord. Oh my soul. He addresses his soul

He addresses what we know is theological truth that we are a spirit That has a soul That is enclosed in a body That is enclosed in a body Holy Spirit lives on the inside of us and we also have a sin nature all at the same time And if we're honest we realized that within us we have competing messages We hear love God with everything. Don't you dare forgive that person. Give him everything that you have. Honor and exalt and exalt. You don't even know if he's real.

Competing messages. Anybody in the building? Competing messages at the same time. So what you have to do sometimes is you sober yourself up and say, so we will bless the Lord. Quit letting for stuff dictate. No, no. You decide. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. You set the thermostat of your soul. Today we are blessed in the Lord. Right now I am blessed in the Lord. What I love about it, this just isn't emotional. My King David, our brother, he said at the end of verse 2 and forget not all his benefits let me talk to you for a second listen listen listen right we absolutely seek his face but let's not forget that with his hand,

he delivers benefits. Don't you, when you get a new job, what's the first thing you look at? I want to pay, and what the benefits look like. Can I go to dental? Like how much PTO? Like I want to know what the benefits I'm giving my time and energy.

What are the benefits of this thing? And that doesn't make you dishonorable. I wanna make sure we're a balanced house to know the benefits, right? All right, let's jump into verse three. I love it. He says, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all of your diseases, right? So one of the

first two benefits, he says we are forgiven. And we are healed. we are healed How much am I forgiven oh It can he heal me of everything oh And what I love about it he's just not talking about the thing he's talking about who does the forgiving and who does the healing It's the Lord Keep going verse 4 It keeps going with the benefit package he says who redeems your life from the pit and who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy have

you ever seen destruction in your life are you in destruction right now and there's external destruction loss of a job loss of relationship, but some of you are just going through turmoil in your own soul and some of us have been delivered If you catch me I'm gonna slow this down I feel like the Holy Spirit because I just want to run and bless the Lord But but I was impressed by the Holy Spirit after the prayer team was praying for me on such Saturday morning I woke up with this right. I don't want to just preach this thing and run back and forth. I want to teach it to you

I feel like it'll last longer I've heard some say like, you know, praise is like like a like a torrential downpour like like teaching this like a soft rain. I Want this to lay in your soul. And I want you to consider the one who you praise and his benefit package and say, why am I dealing with destruction? When he delivers, why have I settled for this unhealed trauma to stay when he heals?

I know what the doctors have said, but he heals all my diseases. And in the verse four, it says, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy I know when y'all date right one of the things they look for in fellas They want to look for they want to see are you steadfast? Especially ones looking for marriage. I want to know can I depend on you? And since I'm here we looking for some of the same things if we are you fair weather when the rain comes Are you going to leave and we look and we try to judge that character if we're looking for something long-term Right, right. Well, let's say in the scriptures. It says that he crowns us

With steadfast love and mercy. Isn't that someone you wanna be in relationship with? I know we're looking for it in a person, and I get it, right? But why don't you put your life in the hands of the one that crowns? With steadfast steady I wonder if I got love and mercy today

But I messed up yeah you did okay, but he's still Yeah, you did, repeat, okay? But he's still steady. And you were crowned with it. You crown people you think are important. One of the things baked up in the benefit plan of God, we are crowned. Verse five, still talking about the benefit. His plan for you is good. Some of us don't really believe that. We think our plans are better than his.

We think our plans are better than his. Hear me, functionally, if you look at how much you consult him and how much we just go and do our own thing, functionally it shows that we believe that our plans are better than his. And too many times we label his plans as difficult as inconvenient, but he says it's He says my burden is You know what this one reason you need to Continue to renew your soul in the Word of God because we have preconceived notions about the one who crowns us that is not true. Verse 6 says the Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.

I'm going to read it again. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. Another version when it says works, it says executes. Right? Talk to the men again. Listen, listen, we want to use our strength. You don't want to let go of it. No. You want to use our strength. You don't want to let go of it No You want to keep your strength? You want to keep your aggression? You just want to be able to use it for those who are oppressed

You want to use your strength you want to use everything at you to to to protect those you give justice for those that are oppressed God did that through Jesus on the cross those you give justice for those that are oppressed God did that through Jesus on the cross You were oppressed in your sin You were oppressed by the kingdom of darkness, what do you do about demonic activity if you're outside of Christ? What you do about the weapons of this activity if you're outside of Christ? What you do about the weapons of this world if you're outside of Christ What you do about trying to get lasting peace and joy if you're outside of Christ trying to use the world's weapons against the world.

We were oppressed. But now he worked justice for all of us who were oppressed. Now again, we walk in freedom in him. Or unfortunately, freedom has been purchased purchased but some of us haven't picked it up yet. You ever been walking around like I think I said this before but like when it turns cold and you bring out your your your your winter your winter coats they're a little thick you know I'm saying you from up north we don't do a whole lot in Georgia I'm gonna hold winter without a

coat but nevertheless right but those that come from colder climates and you pull out like a winter jacket and you just pull out 20 or 50 dollars you love it don't you that's a good day I'll I'll find 20. I can find five and be good. Right? But there have been times in between paydays that if you knew that 50 was in there, inflation has hit us all. If you knew that 50 was in there, that 20 was in there, you would have accessed it and used it within Christ, within salvation, within the benefit package we have freedom but we got to dig in with Christ and use it you ain't me beloved verse 7 he said he made his known his ways to Moses and his acts to the people of Israel.

Go to verse eight. It says the Lord is merciful. Can I slow down here? I really want to land here a little bit. merciful and gracious, slow to anger and again abounding say abounding in steadfast love. Is that how we view him? No, no ask yourself. Is that how I view him? Functionally, is that how I relate to him? The root word of relationship. Do I relate to him? As being slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Is he merciful and gracious?

The answer is yes, but I want to continue to present to you that we're not experiencing enough of it because we're choosing other things. Because we're choosing other things And David is giving this sermon to himself right and jump the nine right I love this because he's not this I really believe that David knew God Right he didn't just give you all benefits as if it's all good because God is all good But look at verse 9. He said he will not always chide nor will he always keep his anger forever So so one of my favorite says now is two things can be true. Yes. He is merciful. Yes. He is gracious

Yes, he is slow to anger. Yes. He is abounding in steadfast love However, he will not always strive and know where you keep his anger forever That's how you know you're dealing with a real person always strive and know will you keep his anger forever. That's how you know you're dealing with a real person. There's a real standard of holiness, which is one of the reasons that Colossus said, we are warning every man that you will be saved and come on the arc of safety because he will not keep his anger forever.

But in Christ we can enjoy the peace. Again, we're talking about wrath, and that's not talking about us. Do you know in Christ you will not encounter the wrath of God? Do you know your wrath was again absorbed on the cross at when the nails went through his hand? That wrath went there for you. You enjoy peace. Talking about the benefit package of being in God in Christ. Verse 10.

David, David let us know that he does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. Listen man, this is it, this is it. This is a prophecy of Christ, but can't you see the gospel all in this? Yes. Can I talk about myself?

I preached the gospel, and I was just talking to somebody else that I respect their spiritual wall. They were just telling me last Sunday that they just got something right so they've heard it they've heard it they've grown in Christ it's not they don't have a relationship with God they've heard it they've heard it they heard it but it just broke open in their soul and that's why you have to you have to continue to preach the gospel to yourself Because in between sons you can hear the gospel here your gospel preaching and then through the week through the month you mess up

And you're waiting for repayment from God You know your inequities and you're waiting for God to pay you back. And the scriptures say not so. Not so. Come on, man, you can't believe I just be getting away. Now, you can sow some things yourself and you can put a seed in the ground and you can reap

that. That's not God giving that to you though. Okay? But you say, man, let's keep on doing this. I know I keep on sinning. Something has to give. The cross gave. He never got soft on sin. He dealt with sin harshly

through Christ on the cross. So that's why he could look at us in his image and see Christ and see the blood and remember the sacrifice and pass over you And what does that do for your soul if you believe it not just here if you believe it what you'll do is you will Ultimately have more honor and respect for Christ Jesus We will esteem him more because he took the price of sin away. I love it. Love it verse 11. It says for as high as the heavens are above the earth So great is his steadfast love talking about being steadfast again toward those who fear him

Right. So here and we're not sure in the Bible. We're talking about heavens It's like three heavens right Paul says something's called to the third heaven. The first heaven is the sky Right. So you're in the clouds most of us have taken a plane ride right and you've been in there the second one is like the stars the constellations right the third one is where the throne of God sits right but it doesn't even matter right have you ever just been on the window seat and they tell you have now reached 15, 10,000 elevation and peeked over some of us are afraid of height some of us are not just peeked over you can't really make out anything distinguishable or any person you're gonna start to see like large coliseums and

depending on how hard you are how hard you are you can't even see through the clouds that's how great his steadfast love is towards those who fear him and that fear is reverential fear. He loves us, man. And I'm gonna compete with what I feel in your soul, right? He could love us in spite of. I'm not even talking about the person next to you. He loves you in spite of. And it's steadfast.

When you sin, he's not changing his mind about you. This is not just for the super saints, whatever that means, right? You, do you believe in Jesus? He loves you. Actually, it says he loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son to even have relationship with him. Now we are grafted into Christ and his love for us is steadfast.

Just steadfast. I got a pastor. I had a pastor in Durham, North Carolina, pastor JD Greerer I think he said it and he wrote it in a book and and I'm be honest This is one of the reasons I feel like the Lord wants me to the preachers here. He said to me. He said There's nothing you can do to make the Lord love you more and There's nothing you can do to make the Lord love you less And there's nothing you can do to make the Lord love you less And I don't care how long you've been in church you got a wrestle with that thing

Cuz surely when I'm when I'm being holy And we praise the numbing and we give it and and we love it on each other. Don't you love me more God? No Don't you love me more God? No And if I'm out here and I'm wilding in these streets and I'm just looking at everything and I'm meditating on wrong things And I'm enjoying sin and swimming and sin. You have to love me less, right? No Yes, right? No. Why? Because God loves based on his character, not your actions. Right?

And check me out. If he did love based on our actions and the dispositions of our heart let me get this out he's not but give me some grace right God would have to be somewhat schizophrenic he would always have to be double-dutching on how I deal with you and I love you all you got it, right now I'm back in love with you now. I'm out like no, I love oh What what? God ain't in heaven doing all that That doesn't match his character I

Said I love you. I love you and It's just not all talk. I've demonstrate my love for you on the cross And I also have a benefit package You do I love about this sermon That that David preached to himself. He said oh my soul you only gonna preach the sermon that you believe to yourself I Believe that David knew God in this way that he had been delivered from the pit That he had sinned and you did not judge me

You could have thrown me away and killed me and written me off But you did not repay me for my sins. He knew him in that way That's why we're always asking you and encouraging you and begging you get to know him I'm gonna pray for you. Get to know him, man. First 12, he keeps going. We're gonna preach this gospel today. He says, as far as the east is from the west, this is a rich verse, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

Whoooo. Whoooo. Opposite directions. opposite directions they never meet up and I'm gonna kick this this works consciousness out of your soul it said he you didn't earn it. You didn't be good enough. Now you earn deliverance. No, no, no, no, no, no. I removed them. I did because I am God. I'm gonna spend some time here. I'm gonna spend some time here.

Because as an elder in this house, I sense when we're in worship, and when we preach, and we throw that back up, keep that up family. I know that's not gonna happen. I know that's not gonna happen. Because an elf as an elder in this house I sense when we're in worship and When we preach and we talk throw that back up keep that up family I know I usually say take that down keep that up the whole time a Larger percentage of you guys clock out here

We literally can see it from the stage. You clock out. I mean, you be with us. We start talking about a father's love, you brush it off. And I believe it's a plan of Satan for you to do so. Because if I had up there, I wrote it, and I say, as a mother shows compassion, y'all would be fine. Wouldn't you?

As a mother nurtures her baby, y'all with ooh and ah, and y'all are oh yeah, it will hit your soul, but he says father, and you clock out. I'm just gonna address the elephant in the room. Especially in the black and brown context Like 70% of us didn't grow up with a father And have major negative experiences and I've had personal conversations negative experiences

horrible experiences, horrendous experiences with a father. And I get up here and I talk about how much I love my children, some of you get it, some of you just clock out. And I believe it's one of the major plans of Satan for that to be the case Because I say go get to know him and then I say but he's a father and you clock out you will miss out on a major benefit of having relationship with him

The king of glory of heaven. The creator of heaven and earth. The alpha and omega is our father. Even one of the names of Jesus is father. The author and the finisher of our faith. The one who put the very plan of salvation in place to come and get you and rescue you. The Almighty One.

The One when He passed by the rocks, it split. All consuming fire. The One who let the children of Israel through the wilderness to a land flowing with milk and honey The one who was and he is and he is to come The one Where all of the angels bow before him in glory and in reverence is also your

father. Now, did I just give you Bible? All right, now with that meditation, now let's slide into this verse, okay? As a father shows compassion to his children, The Father shows compassion to his children. So the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. I'm gonna go to 14, and then we're gonna come back and talk about it.

For he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust. I know we're used to celebrating Mother's Day and I get it. I know we're used to celebrating Mother's Day, and I get it. But no one has more compassion for you than God the Father. All right, so everybody knows I got three little ones

right here, I'm not gonna give you the ages all the good stuff, you know that now, right? So one of them, actually probably three of them. We're in an interesting stage right now, they're two and three years old right so now we're trying to Figure out did you understand what I said to you as far as the command? This first part and if you did understand are you just blatantly ignoring me and Staring me in the face and drinking my juice And with that it takes time because I don't know I literally look at him like this come here

Come here look at him like this come here come here come here all right so my youngest son he's like cute and chunky look just like me right all right I'm not cute chunky but you did what I'm saying. Alright, I'm chunky. Another conversation. Alright, so I've had enough because I believe based on history you understand the command, come here, put it back, put it down. No, these are not very complex things that I am discussing, right? So I'm the father. And now it's time for judgment. You understood what I said and you heard me. Those are the qualifications. Without those things, then I'm being harsh, right? But you heard me, you understand,

eye contact is still being made. It's not time for me to move towards you. And it's happened once and it's happened again. I've gotten there and I got there and all of a sudden it's real to him and he looks at me. He's a little afraid And he throws his hands up And I pick them up

And I give him a hug. My boys are extremely affectionate like me. My girls, they'll take a hug. My boys, and we hug them. We hug it out. And I say, hey man, I told you to put that down. You look at me, you'll hug me again. Right?

And it, listen man, all that tough stuff, get in front of your babies. You ain't as tough as you think you are. But you know what just happened in that moment? I showed compassion on him. Objectively he deserved judgment. You know what also happened? I remembered his frame. He's only two years old. Sixty days ago he was just one. You see that? She's like, oh, now that makes sense. That's

how God deals with you. He remembers when you were just dust. And he slid upon Adam before he was Adam and he blew breath into him and made Adam a living soul. He's a compassionate father. I know that most of us do not have earthly representations of that. Closer, Frank, I know. I can't change that. I can't change it, man. I wish I could, I would. And if you're a father right now man you better make sure you are good representation of the heavenly one.

with you. That's our job. Steadfast love, compassion, mercy, grace, love, unwavering. That's how you be tough. My love for you is the same. Before punishment, during punishment, afterwards. You know you don't have to be angry to punish. You shouldn't even punish while you're angry. Just like a heavenly father, it's to push us along the way Why not because he's trying you don't need us unleashed we would all be consumed But no that punishment in Christ hey, hey, hey, hey, that's not how I called you to be. That's bad for you. You know some of my harshest punishments when my children are trying to deal with something

that's dangerous, like electricity or sharp knives, you know why that punishment is increased? Because that can take them away from me. And some of you can be in sin so much and then get wrapped up like vines in your soul that you will walk away from Christ. wrapped up like vines in your soul that you will walk away from Christ. Doesn't that compassionate discipline look different now? And I want you to hear me. I never said he'll walk away from you because in the scriptures it says I will never leave nor forsake but we can walk away from him. I was reading in Isaiah 53, the top of the experience, right? We have all went our own way and abandoned him.

We are prone to wander. So as a good shepherd, come back over here. I know it looks shiny over there. No, no, no, no. That's a trap. Redeem your life from the pit. No, no, no. You want to go over there? Isolate? That's not good for you. You'll get picked off. Come over here in community. We preached ourselves, but there does it line up with this? I know sister, I don't always preach to myself like that either.

But this is a reminder of King David, a man after God's own heart, telling his soul what to do and laying out the benefit package of knowing the one who saves us. Y'all with me, beloved? Bow your head and let me pray for us. Holy Father. I know what your word says here. The honest truth is, God, we just don't feel like it's true a lot of times. And we feel like we see circumstances that preach a different gospel. Help us rebuke that gospel in our souls.

Help us slide up on the scripture in Psalms 103 and reset our soul and read about who you are. Especially when it comes to you being a father. How compassionate you are. How you show compassion to those who fear you and respect you. That would definitely include those who believe on the Lord Jesus and disciples of Christ. Help us God. Help us watch what we say to our own souls. Help us always align with the truth of who you are. In the scriptures and by the Spirit of God. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Amen.

Amen. Amen. Amen.
