So, blessed church gathering brothers and sisters, really um I’m going to give you a big chunk. We’re going to pray the theme of it all. Okay? And boy, do we need this. It’s a big chunk for us normally on these mornings together, but we’re going to pray the theme of it all. And for those of you who are joining us for the first time, we are praying Bible.

And this is originating uh this morning, Tuesday morning, May 20th at 5:00 a.m. Pacific time, California. And we are excited that you’re joining us more and more so many people um from various parts of the world. So we are thankful. 1 Corinthians chapter 4, excuse me, 1 Corinthians chapter 4 11-13. We’re going to pray the theme of this. Okay.

So to this present hour, we both suffer hunger and thirst and we are poorly clothed, beaten, homeless, and we labor working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure. Being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth and the filth of the world and the offscouring of all things until now.

Wow. Let me read this again everybody and let this we’re going to pray this and it’s going to be encouraging to us. Paul the Apostle is speaking to the Corinthians and he reveals to them what it’s like, what it could be like if God’s going to use you in a very powerful way. If he’s going to use you in a way that is going to make a major impact, you just need to know something.

And I love the honesty of the Bible. to this present hour. We both hunger and thirst and we are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless and we labor working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure. Being defamed, we intreat. This is huge. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

friends. Listen, I watched last night a documentary on the wealth uh prosperity doctrine stuff. It was a it was a documentary on exposing the danger of those who twist the scripture to make sure what you and I just read never happens to them. Okay? They they they will not follow Jesus. They made it very clear.
