And we’ll talk about this in just just a few moments if you guys Thank you Rome for the great sound uh sound check. Thank you brother on that. So, just wait just a few more minutes and I hope you are well wherever you’re at that you are ending this year, stronger in Christ. Um, having gone through the test and the trials and the fire as all of us have and are want to make sure that none of us feel like they’re exempt.

Um, good morning Pat. pretty certain that at least from where um at least from where uh ministry has been going on in my life, I’ve never seen people tested like I have in all my years of being a Christian like this year. Uh this has been a really challenging year for so many people. Uh it’s been a a physically challenging year for me.

I think uh probably prior to this was something like 2018 for me 2018 2017 where I was suffering from debilitating insomnia. Uh but this has been everybody I know really challenging year and I and I believe I don’t believe this because um you know people say well you know life is the way that is crazy it’s crazy life I think it’s because folks we are um living in the last time last days for the believer and I believe the Lord is getting us ready to meet him Um, and so here we are.

We’re just passing 3,000. So, let’s do this. And, uh, remember as we pray, put in your prayer request in the comment section and people will be praying for you all day long. It’s beautiful. So, Colossians chapter 1 verse 5, because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven. Paul is encouraging the church at Colasse.
