Father, I thank you so much for this awesome moment.

The end of a year, perhaps the end of our lives, we don't know, if we'll make it through the day. A new year on the Earth or in heaven.

These are awesome things to contemplate.

So calm and give us a sense of seriousness

about what you're about to do now and for the rest of our lives.

Grant that I would be faithful to your word and that these brothers would be open, dig an ear for them,

awakened spiritual taste buds that have been dead or have grown callous,

grant a sense of attentiveness and give understanding and enlarge their vision of yourself, I pray,

and get victory over bondages where we live.

I ask this in Jesus name, amen.

11. Amen.

11 days from now, it will have been 66 years from now. It will have been 66 years since I was born in this city. I mentioned that because I've been

now a believer for 60 years and I want to encourage you at your stage that you can make it. At least I want to encourage you that you can make it to

66 because I don't presume upon the grace of God. I cling to it, I plead for it daily, but I do want to

bear witness that you can make it by God's grace.

He who began a good work in you,

if he's begun a good work in you,

will complete it to the day of Christ.

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling.

It's an awesome statement in Jude 25. Now unto him who is able to keep

18 year olds for the next 15 years from falling and to present you without blemish and with great joy before the

presence of his glory. Now unto him be glory in majesty, dominion and authority before all time now and forever more.
