Worship In Prayer

We set up, bring the word, and then lead us in prayer. And again, however that's done. Sometimes when we were in corporate fashions, it would be the entire corporate body praying together. Other times it would be get into small groups.

Other times it would be get alone with God and let God speak to you and you speak to God. Any of these ways, when you are with a group, just follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in that, okay? The second thing about that is, is that I have gone near and far, me and brother David Ford.

And David, I don't know if you're still on or not. We had talked about this the other day. We was talking about dear brother of ours, Ralph Saterra. Him and his brother Lou Saterra was what the evangelist that was preaching when the revival broke out in Canada in 1970.

And so in that conversation, when he was asking me if I knew him, I said, well, let me tell you how I know him. I said, I was down at HeartCry for Revival in around 2006. And I had set up a meeting with Jim Cimbala because of Brooklyn Tabernacle's prayer meeting and a meeting with Henry Blackaby.

I didn't know anything about HeartCry for Revival. I didn't know anything about Ralph Saterra. I didn't know anything about the Canadian Revival at that point. And I go down there and we're standing in the cafeteria line for one of our meals.

And Ralph is right in front of me. And he turns around to me and he says, well, he introduced himself and he asked me who I was, where I was from and why I was there. And I said, well, I have a meeting with a couple of your speakers.

And then I said, I really come down here to watch how you did your corporate prayer meeting. And he said, well, what do you think? And I said, well, you haven't prayed yet. They hadn't prayed except for an opening prayer.

They had not had any corporate prayer at all or small groups or nothing. And I'll always remember what Ralph said to me on that spot. He said, well, maybe God's telling you to do something about that.

Protracted Prayer and the Concert of Prayer

I come back to West Virginia and I did Broken Before the Throne in eight day, nine hours a day prayer meeting. These events come out of that, where I'd read about praying John Hyde's Silcock Convention that lasted 10 days, the Kizzik Convention, where they would go a full week of nonstop worship on the grounds.

And all these examples where God's people have a protracted time to hear the word of God, read the word of God, be taught the word of God and pray the word of God. Those things to me are essential. Proclamation of the word and a protracted time period in prayer, long, long time of prayer.

And so the concert of prayer is set for that. They haven't let someone get up and proclaim the word of the Lord, but pray the word. Don't just have good preaching, be in prayer. And that so often is missing.

So having said that, again, I'm no longer introduction that I cared for. We wanna go into our prayer time now. Now, again, this is diverse. I'm speaking, you're gonna see some of the slides. I'm gonna share with you verses out of my prayer notebook, out of my heart.

I'm sure you have verses. Maybe you might wanna write them or quote them at the side, that's fine. Maybe you're, but again, if you're just learning how to pray an hour, two hours, to use these things to build your prayer life, okay?

We're looking to set an example for what prayer is supposed to look like because of this emergency that we're in of God, our ways and our doings that has provoked him to anger and judgment. And we are reaping that and we're seeking God to undo that.

Beginning Prayer With Worship

And so, as I said, worship always starts or should start every prayer meeting. I understand if someone is feeling convicted and guilty in their mind and their heart, that they're unclean and they need to confess a sin, you should know Psalm 66.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. So I have no problem. This is not the only way. This is just a way, okay? That you can use as an example for your prayer time, your small group or your church.

And I begin with worship. I begin with an acknowledgement of who God is, God the Father who sits on the throne, Jesus who sits at the right hand, he's the great intercessor, and the Holy Spirit who is there because he makes groanings for us, which cannot be uttered.

And so it is the Trinity that I pray to, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yes, I see the four angels flying at the top. I see the 24 elders gather around their throne. I rejoice in all of it, but I am brought to come boldly before the throne of grace through Jesus Christ to worship him.

And that means is that I must go back to read as you see there, to recite his names. It is power to go through the scriptures and declare the names that have been given to God, the Father, Creator, Jesus Christ, Creator, Savior, Redeemer, Lamb of God, Lion of Judah, Alpha, Omega, Beginning and the End, right on down you go.

He's the Rock, he's the Way, the Truth, the Life, he's the Resurrection, he's the Door, he's the, you just go through the names. Holy Spirit, the Teacher, the Comfort, the Holy One, the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, and all these draws that that's who we're speaking to.

And we're getting ready to ask for some hard things. And we need this God where there is nothing too hard for him. He's able, he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or think.

So in your prayer time right now, that you just begin to go down through that, the names of God. Yes, there you go, a good listing there of those from Arnie, attributes of God, the works and the deeds of God.

And again, I'm gonna give you scriptures now that I have in my prayer notebook, that many of them I've memorized and I've recited in my prayer time because it reminds me again, who am I speaking to? What has he done?

What is he doing? And what is he willing to do? Let us know the God of the Word and the Word of God. And the next one there, one of the great verses in the Bible that I always usually generally begin with is Exodus chapter 34, verses five through eight.

Now only five through seven is on there and I'll explain eight in a moment. But this is where Moses gets to see the glory of God. And I'm not gonna preach and teach this, I don't have time for that. I just want you to worship God as God declares his name here, okay?

The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, abundant in goodness and truth, long suffering. Again, keeps the covenants, keeps his promises. He cannot lie and then he does these things. Keeps mercy for thousands, he forgives us when we go into our confession time to forgive us of our iniquity, our transgression and our sin and that he will by no means clear the guilt.

They will have to answer. Our nation is answering for our iniquities and our sins. And he visits because of this generational sin from the fathers, the grandfathers, to the fathers, to our present day and what we're passing on to our children.

They reap the visiting of the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and to the third and fourth generations. Now, verse eight, it says, and when Moses heard this and he saw the glory of God is that he fell down and worshiped him.

And for those that follow me on Thursday night hour prayer, this has been one of my studies that there are 80 some verses in the Bible that gives us who and how they worship God. And we see the similarity.

They bow, prostrate, bow down, humble, and they worship him. And again, we're worshiping him is that whether it's adoration, just silent worship or whether it's speaking these things. And again, I'm speaking, asking you to pray in agreement with this for what he has declared about himself in the scriptures.

Worshiping God's Omnipotence and Creative Power

I have these verses that are reminders to me of God's power. He is omnipotent, all powerful. Nothing's too hard for God, right? So there's these verses of Genesis chapter 18, Jeremiah 32, Jeremiah 32, 27, Numbers 11, 23, Isaiah 59, five times in scripture where the question is presented and you and I are left to answer, is anything too hard for God?

And the answer always comes back the same. No, nothing is too hard for God. Zechariah chapter 12, which is one verse of about 30 to 40 verses in the Bible that gives us the description of God the creator.

And it says in this, the Lord which stretches forth the heavens, he lays the foundation of the earth and he forms the spirit of man within him. Multiple verses that again, when you look at God, the father who sits on the throne, Jesus, the son who sits at the right hand, the Holy Spirit, all of them back in Genesis chapter one, verse two, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

And then look up into heavens and I see the stars. God, you created every one of those. You know them, you set them with your right hand. Lord, I look upon the landscape of the mountains and the hills and the valleys and the rivers, the continents, the oceans.

Lord, you established it all for your purposes. And I say with David in the Psalms, who am I that you made man, made of dust, breathed into my nostrils the breath of life, gave me existence, passed by and said, live.

And I began to live. And God, you hold my very breath in your hand. Daniel chapter five, Job chapter 12, Psalm 104. He holds my breath, my soul in his right hand. This is the God that I'm praying to. This is the God I'm asking you to worship in this.

And again, this, if you're gonna pray an hour, these focuses of worship, confession, and petition, the three subjects, it's just easily broke up. 15, 20 minutes of worship, 15, 20 minutes of confession, and then spend whatever time is remaining in your petition, supplications, and intercession.

And that's an easy way to do it. I'm just setting an example in front of you here this afternoon of a concert of prayer that when God's people are together corporately praying, and again, if we was able to interact on a Zoom call or something like that, that you would be able to worship with other verses that I don't know or not familiar with, but they speak to you and you use them.

Christ's Miracles and God's Unchanging Power

To go down through some of these, Luke chapter seven, Jesus answering said unto him, go your way, tell John what things you've done. Again, knowing the gospels, what did Jesus do in his three years of ministry?

The things that you have heard and seen, the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. And you read, look what Christ did.

He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, right? He changes not, and he's able to do the same today. And the reason that again, we come to this place of knowing who God is, knowing what God did, and to long and to look for it and to pray for it, Lord, do it again, do it again.

Come and do these mighty miracles and signs and wonders that you did in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, that your disciples did in Acts, in the gospels there in that book of Acts, and that has been done for 2000 years by those who believed and those who were reminded that you are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Deuteronomy 32, verse 39, see now that I, even I, am he, and there is no God with me. Now, I love these verses that God is declaring this truth. There are no other gods in this universe, none. There is no Allah, there is no Buddha, there is nothing of the mysticism of Hinduism, there is no positive vibes or karma, there is nothing but the forces of hell that we're working against that causes these lies, and there is the Lord God who created it all, and he created everything that is in existence.

That's the God that we're worshiping. I am God and there is no God with me. I kill, I make alive, I wound, I heal, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. First Samuel, chapter 12, verse 24, considering how great things that God has done for me.

There is much praise and thanksgiving that comes out of reading that verse. Look what God did for me. He saved my soul. He's blessed me with an opportunity to do the things that I've done, playing the piano for music to play for him, read the word of God and education.

We know that there are people that are limited in this around the world. I consider a roof over my head, a stove for heat, food in the pantry, clothes on my back, opportunities to serve him. Consider how great things that he has done in providing, protecting, planning, orchestrating.

As I said, one of the brothers that I was talking with, we prayed and thanked God for the divine opportunities that God has given us in our lifetime. Like I said, meeting Ralph Cetera, that was a divine moment to change my life forever.

I thank God, I praise God for the things that he has done for me. And you right now to take your moment to say, God, I haven't, Lord, memories have been brought to my mind, things that I haven't thought about for a while.

Lord, I just wanna thank you for that. I'm gonna praise you, Lord, that when I was discouraged that I was reading my Bible and that verse jumped off the page to me and it brought such hope, such comfort to me.

Lord, that was you, thank you for what you did for me. Lord, I was discouraged and downcast and fearful and fretful, and I was listening to Christian music and that song play and it refreshed my soul and it brought joy to my heart.

Lord, thank you for providing that song for me. Whatever it is, somebody is praying for you right now, don't thank God for that. Someone gave you the gospel, presented you the gospel truth and religion to Christ with the gospel message and the gospel explanation of who he is and what he did and why he did it, and you embraced it and you said, forevermore, I'll follow the Lord.

Thank God for that person. Maybe it was a Sunday school teacher, maybe it was a parent, grandparent, maybe it was a stranger, maybe it was sitting in a church and the preacher preached and the gospel was given, salvation took place.

Every other answer, prayer, every other mercy, every other miracle for a moment, worship God, and thank him for that experience in that moment in time that God showed up and did what he did. Deuteronomy chapter three, verse 24.

Praying Through God's Works and Deeds

Now again, time is an issue here, but I wanna try to pause and give you moments to pray. So when I'm silent, I'm asking you to pray and cry out to God where you're at for these things that I'm presenting or whatever the Holy Spirit may be speaking to you, okay?

Deuteronomy 3, 24. Oh Lord God, thou hast begun to show thy servant that great, now this is Moses writing, and that mighty hand for what God is there in heaven or in earth that can do according to your works and according to your might.

Now Moses is asking a question, but it's a rhetorical question being answered. What has God begun to show us? Mighty moves, mighty works, mighty deeds. Thank you, God. Thank you for all of that. Just consider what he's done and give him honor and praise for that.

Mark chapter seven, verse 37. And they were beyond measure, astonished saying he has done all things well. Can you find one fault with God? Lord, I look at my life and any faults that are to be found, it is found on me.

All that you have created, all that you've bestowed, all that you've given, every direction in my life that you have done has been for my betterment. You have done all things well. He has made both the deaf to hear, deaf and the dumb to speak.

And we go back to those verses. Is there anything too hard for God? We look at impossible circumstances and situations, but in the work of God, in the hand of God, there's nothing too hard. He has done all things well.

And even if it is not that which you agreed with, death, dying, destruction, it is still, he is still to be honored and glorified because it's for a reason and a purpose that you and I do not know. That verse was given last night.

My ways are higher than your ways, my thoughts than your thoughts, as high as the heavens are above the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways than your thoughts. Lord, I yield to that. I don't know everything.

I don't always know the best way, but I know you do all things well, and I honor you for that. So take a moment right now just to worship him in that truth. And to make that statement, Lord, you do all things well, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Ezekiel 17, 24. We read in this verse, and all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, have brought down the high tree. I have exalted the low tree. I've dried up the green tree, and I've made the dry tree to flourish.

I, the Lord, have spoken, and I have done it. I love this verse. This is one of the most moving verses to me in my place before God. I look at a dead tree, and I know that it's good for nothing but to cut it up and throw it into the fire.

In the springtime, I look at the live trees, and they bud, and they burst forth in greenness and fruit and all that. God does all that. He's able to make a dead tree live. He's able to make a living tree die.

He's able to raise those who exalt themselves to bring them down, and to those that humble themselves, he's able to exalt. And he does it in two fashions here. He speaks it, and he just simply does it.

I have spoken it, and I will do it. And I love this because, again, I'm asking God in my petition, supplication, intercessions, Lord, just say the word. All you and I need for God to do today, for whatever burden we're carried, for whatever desire of our heart, for our nation, for the state of the church, is just, if God would say, I'm gonna send revival today, who could stop him?

If God would hear our prayers and our cries today, and said, I have heard your prayers, I have seen your heart, I know that you're lamenting over the sins and the ways and the doings of this nation. I'm gonna change that.

I'm gonna honor your prayer today. And he speaks it, and he will do it. That's all that is required. And I, so often, am pleading with God, begging God, beseeching God, whatever term you wanna use, say the word, do it, and it shall be done.

That's the power of God. But just take a moment right now to pray that.

Okay, put that down. Now, I wanna, okay.

I wanna, couple more moments for worship. And again, whatever verses that you have, whatever thoughts of scriptures that you know of God's attributes, works, deeds, incorporate them right now into your time of worship.

We're trying to, again, for this concert of prayer, I've given you some suggested verses, some thoughts of things that move me, I use in my prayer time. I have over 200 verses in my prayer notebook here of just worship, of things that God has declared about himself, his names, as one brother was posting there, his attributes.

And I rehearse over them, I go over them, and God's spirit speaks in me through that, to worship him, to know him better with that. So let me share a couple more that's not on the PowerPoint that I just wanna present to you.

Those are some introductory things that I always share with people and use in prayer moments and prayer times. But a couple of these others, one of the studies that I'm currently in right now is that that I mentioned earlier about there is none like you.

And there is roughly about two dozen of these verses in the Bible where God steps forward and he says, I have searched the heavens, I've looked everywhere high and low, there is nobody else out here but me.

And I love that because again, that's our worship. Lord, you are the one true God. You are God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and there is none else. So let me share a couple of those verses with you.

You can write these down or just pray them as I'm reading, but this will conclude. I wanna share with you a couple more on worship, and then we'll conclude for our worship time, and then we'll enter into that time of confession, which again is addressing the ways and the doings that I brought to you earlier.

There is none like you in Exodus chapter eight, verse 10. And he said, tomorrow, and he said, be it according to your word that you may know that there is none like unto the Lord our God. Now again, I'm not gonna commentary and teach and preach on these verses, but this is Moses talking to Pharaoh when he's doing the judgments and the plagues upon Egypt, that you will know that there is none like me.

If there is one thing that you and I can say about 2020, it should be that the church rallies to worship and to say, with all the judgments and disasters that we've seen, there is none but the Lord God that can do this.

And there is none but the Lord God that can get us out of this. And the realization of understanding that it is from God's hand. God is doing these things against us because of our ways and doings. That's the importance of knowing the scripture.

Exodus chapter nine, verse 14. For I will at this time send all my plagues upon your heart, upon your servants, upon your people, that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth. Again, sending all of his plagues.

We have sampled some of the plagues and the wrath of God. We haven't got the full outpouring of his cup of wrath yet, but that's coming. And so what we have right now is enough for us to see the plagues and judgments that God is sending upon us, that you may know that there is none like me.

You look upon this time, people are explaining the COVID away, explaining, excuse me, the weather phenomenon away. And the church has not answered them to say, the Lord God did this. Because they don't want to have a negative God or angry God, or they don't want to have the full God that is in Bible, that God is love, but God also hates.

God is above, but God also is beneath. God is within, God is without, God is light, God is dark. They don't know God. So they only take the attributes that they want of God, the good side, the positive side.

And they don't take the other side that is full composure. He is love, but he also has wrath. He does say, but he is also just against the wicked. So knowing these things, there is none like him in all the earth.

Deuteronomy chapter four, verse 35. Unto you that it was shown that thou mightest know that the Lord, he is God, and there is none else besides you. You have people questioning. Well, what about Buddha?

What about Allah? What about? There is none, but the Lord God. And these are the reason I love this. It just comes back to that truth. No room, no room for all the different religions of the world, no room for the Antichrist, no room for the beast or the dragon, just the Lord God.

And I am resolved. I pray you are resolved in your heart and your mind is to stay before God with this. Deuteronomy chapter four, verse 39. Know therefore this day, consider it in your heart that the Lord, he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath, and there is none else.

Now this, we're gonna come back to this in petition. So I pray that maybe you can jot it down and remember it. God in heaven and God in earth. He created all that, right? Stretched it out, formed, stretched the heavens out, laid the foundations of the earth, but he rules and reigns in both places.

And we're gonna come back to that in our petition time, in our prayer time. First Samuel chapter two. This is the wonderful answer that Hannah got for Samuel when she prayed for her child. And she worshiped God in this, chapter two, verse two.

There is none holy as the Lord. God is holy for there is none beside him and neither is there any rock like our God. And so again, descriptions, praise, thanksgiving, worship, it's all about God. You're not asking for anything.

You're not confessing anything. Now it might lead to that at times, but again, it's just about God. Who he is, what he's done, what he's doing, and who he'll always be, okay? Second Samuel chapter seven, verse 22.

David rejoicing in what God had promised to him about his lineage. Wherefore thou art great, oh Lord God, for there is none, there is none like you. Neither is there any God beside you according to all that we have heard with our ears.

And so again, testimony, what have you heard with your ears? Have you heard that there are many gods? Have you heard that there are multiple ways to get to heaven? There is one God and we're worshiping him today.

So just in this moment now, there is none like you. I only gave you a couple of those verses. There are many more with that. And you can get all this stuff's on my blog. You can find that for your time period to use and incorporate.

But just take a few moments right now to express that. Lord, any doubts, if answered, but Lord, you're it. There is none like you. Worship him and then I'll give you a couple more of these verses before we switch to confession.

Falling Down Before God in Worship

All right, we transition now to the last worship. And this is again, I expressed to you this in Exodus chapter 34, verse eight. When God, when Moses saw God and heard the name of God, the voice of God speak his name, oh Lord, the Lord God, merciful, gracious, abundant in goodness and truth.

He fell down and he worshiped. And so that captured me, for me to fall down and worship. So again, Thursday night hour prayer, I've been sharing these with them. So let me share some of those, not all of these, of course, we're not gonna do that.

I'm just giving you verses and examples of what to incorporate into your time. 30 minutes we've been praying, worship, scriptures brought, names of God, attributes of God, deeds and works of God, which honors and glorifies him.

Exodus chapter 33, verse 10. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door and all the people, they rose up and they worshiped him. When they saw the glory she kind, they worshiped him.

And again, it's a hard thing to find people today that know how to worship God. Tozer would lay flat on his face on a carpet in his study. And he said, I could lay there for two hours, four hours, eight hours, and never ask for anything, just worship him.

That's a rare breed to find someone that can just worship God for hours upon hours, because we always have to interject our comments in that. But just to worship him, just to adore him, to gaze upon him and to see who he is and the descriptions that are given to us in the scriptures, and especially in revelation about what Christ looks like, the glorified Christ, it's astounding.

Exodus 34, eight, I gave to you. Deuteronomy chapter 26, verse 10. And now behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, has given to me. And you shall set it before the Lord God and worship before the Lord God for what he has done, the giving of tithes, the giving of the offerings.

Joshua chapter five, verse 14. And he said, nay, but as captain of the host of the Lord, am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and he did worship him. And he said, what saith my Lord unto your servant?

Worshipping before him, Lord, I'm not gonna speak. I'm just gonna be silent and listen. Speak, Lord, for thy servant is listening. I'm worshiping you, God. There is none like you. You are absolute perfection.

You are absolute truth. You're absolute of all your things, faithfulness, righteousness, grace, glory, mercies. Nothing, nothing is defiled in you, Lord. You're taught from the top of your head to the sole of your feet, Lord.

You're found with the beauty of your countenance and the beauty of who you are. We adore that. We worship that. We're drawn to that. And so any of these verses, just to worship him, and just take a few moments and we'll conclude that at this time for worship.

Again, 30 minutes, we've done numerous verses that we've given, and it's all about him. Nothing's too hard for you, God. We've heard your names. We've seen the things that we've seen, the things that we've heard.

We're worshiping you, God. It's just about you. Just take a few moments now. I got to transition again for another. All right, let's spend time now in confession. Again, the concert of prayer, allow for people to express themselves in worship.

Confession of Sin and National Repentance

Again, we say that today, most people break into song or they think the band's going to get up and play. I tried to set before you is that the scriptures that declare to us these things about God, who he is, what he's declared about himself, his names, his attributes, his works, and his deeds.

The more you look upon God's holiness and his righteousness and his perfection, I think the more that we see our imperfections. And it leads us to this understanding how vile we are. We're just a worm, dust.

Who are we that we should ever be able to approach unto God except for his allowance of his grace and mercy that allows for us to come before him. And so our sins come up to our face and our realization of who we actually are.

And then again, the ways and doings that I shared with you in opening of how far we've fallen away from God as a nation, as the church, our families, and in times in our own lives that we have sinned against him.

And so part of this scriptures that again reveals to us about the sins that's being done. And again, as the children of Israel did, as you read through the Old Testament and you see here in Isaiah and in Jeremiah specifically, again, there are almost 200 verses in Jeremiah alone from chapter one to the conclusion of chapter 52.

200 specific verses where God said, this is what I have against you. This is a study that I'm in the process of doing of all the verses in the Bible that God does this. I only have the end part of Isaiah done to show to you.

And again, I'm gonna read the verse and you can read along with me. Again, most of this stuff's on my blog. Can you put that ticker scroll? Okay, you can go to this blog and you'll find the title sins and you'll see the work that I'm doing there of what's here on the screen.

And you can follow with me. I wanna read a verse and I'm gonna ask you to confess that verse as we see it in the nation, in our church, sometimes they overlap and they're in both places or in our families or in my own life, confess that.

And again, we're bringing the word of God so that we realize what we've done against God as the nation, as the church, that these things might be not only confessed but repented of and corrected. This is what we've got to get to.

We have got to get to correction for this hour. So we're gonna spend at least 30 minutes. Be patient with me, stay with me. I know this is different for some of you. Some of you may be, this is nothing but you're used to this and wonderful.

But some people, this needs to be done in the corporate prayer meetings where the sins are read and expressed and that there is lamenting, mourning and confession done because of how far that we've fallen away from God.

Read with me, confess with me as I read these verses. Now, I may read a section or a phrase of the verse and just confess the sin and move on to the next one. Just try to follow with me. And again, if I lose you, I'm sorry, but let's move forward.

And again, circumstances, live stream makes it a little bit more difficult. Isaiah 52, verse five. And my name continually every day is blaspheme. Father, forgive our nation that I could walk into any store right now and I'll hear your name taken in vain.

Ten commandments, I shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. I can walk into churches and they speak your name with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Father, your name is blasphemed in our current condition.

Isaiah 53, verse six. All we like sheep have gone astray. Lord, we've all sinned and come short of your glory. We've all turned everyone to his own way. Father, forgive us that we look to our own ways rather than your ways.

And the Lord had laid on him the iniquity of us all. Christ, and again, I go back to worship here with this. Christ Jesus, you who knew no sin took my sins. You bore my iniquities. Father, forgive me that I ever have done this against you going astray and going everyone to my own ways, Lord.

Isaiah 56, verse two. Those that keep the Sabbath from polluting it and keeps his hand from doing any evil. Father, forgive our nation that the Lord's day is destroyed as a day of worship and a day of rest.
