All right. Well, good morning and welcome. We're so glad that you're joining with us for our live stream

prophecy update and looking forward to what the Lord has for us today. I do want to begin, though,

by wishing all the dads a happy and blessed Father's Day.

Pictured here, actually I decided to share this because, and I've had this,

this print framed on my wall for something like 25 years.

And I purchased it a number of years ago. It's a painting by, and I hope I'm

pronouncing his name right, Ron D. Keiani, and it's titled Spiritual Warfare. And I mean, every time I see this, this, you know, print, I just am so moved by it. I think, you know, that saying a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, such is the case here, because it just shows this father praying over his son while his son sleeps.

The reason I shared is because it reminds me of a story that's told of how one night a father

overheard his son pray,

Dear God, make me the kind of man my daddy is.

Later that night, the father prayed after hearing that,

overhearing that, dear God, make me the kind of man my son thinks I am.

I think that says it all, isn't it?

You know, I've, well, I don't want to get to being a father in this day and age is not for whims.

Can I say it like that?

I just did.

It's really the most difficult job I think there is, is to be a father. I've started businesses and owned and

operated businesses and planted in pastored churches and combined it does not compare with the

difficulty that is ours as fathers. And so I just want to give a shout out to all the fathers. And more

importantly, on this day that we celebrate as Father's Day, we certainly want to honor our Heavenly

Father on this Father's Day. Okay, let's get to it. Got a lot to get to today. So I want to talk with you about

what for the most part started over a hundred years ago, perhaps even longer than that.
