Turn with me to 1 Corinthians 15 and 2nd Corinthians 2. We've been for some weeks now on the subject of Thanksgiving victory.

Thanksgiving victory. Well, let's pray before we read the Word and join your faith with me.

And let's believe God not only for ourselves, but for everybody else that's joined with us

and will be a partaker of this word in the days and years to come.

Father, we're so thankful for the opportunity to be here together again.

We know all this is temporary.

We're so thankful that you've given us our own place to meet, and we don't have to ask

or beg somebody else, and we don't have to clear everything we say with somebody else,

but we're free to preach your word, and we're so grateful, so thankful for the prosperity and our health and our strength and everything

we have.

Good.

You gave it to us.

And we give you all the praise.

We're asking for everybody now here and outside the room.

It'll hear it and see it in time to come for ears to hear, eyes to see, heart

open and receptive, let there come divine revelation revealed and grace supplied and imparted,

and let there come answers and direction and help.

Lord, we look not to each other, but we all look to you and your Holy Spirit, who is our teacher.

And we pray, Lord, manifest yourself among us by your presence, by your angels, by your Holy Spirit, and get glory to yourself.

And with purpose not to be hearers only or forgetful hearers but to put your word into practice to be doers of it to live and the way that you say

and we know as we do we'll be blessed because you're so faithful to watch over your word and perform

it in our lives in Jesus
