Hey, this is Beth. What we live for at Living Proof is to serve people the word of God. We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God is going to speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege.

I want you to turn if you would please and I wasn't even thinking about going here, but we're going to go here now.

Philippians one, Philippians one, I'm going to hope it's still there.

I need somebody's Bible.

Oh, please, Lord, oh, please.

Because you know, it has to be on the same place on your page in your own Bible.

Oh, praise God, it's in yours too.

Oh, Philippians, what, y'all are, I just just I wish I could hug every one of you you know I'm a hugger but

y'all are from Alabama too you know where I come from in Texas if we're talking to you

we're talking to you we're sitting on you.

Okay. 1.12.

Now I want you to know brothers in our respect it can be sisters that what has happened to me has really served

to advance the gospel. You want that thing sanctified? You want God to be able to

use that. You tell him to make your past a servant to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

You, what we're doing is bowing down to our past. We have become a servant to our past. We are bowed down to it. You know what

needs to be bowed down? Your past, you get up. Oh I'm gonna say that again because

somebody did not hear me say that, because I'd have heard from him.

I'd have heard from him had they heard me say that.

It is your past that you better command in Jesus' name to bow down.

That it becomes a servant to Jesus Christ. name to

Jesus Christ.
