Hey, if you got your Bibles, we're going to end up in Matthew chapter 4.

Kelly, I forgot to bring a water. Can you bring it to me? Matthew chapter 4. And I will just say,

thanks. It is good that we are here. Thanks for the prayers.

In case you haven't been here the past couple weeks, first and foremost, thank you so much to

Pastor Britt for holding down the fort man and just delivering the word

incredibly well.

And I will tell you, so I need a lot of grace tonight.

So I had the flu.

It was actually kind of a combination of the flu and pneumonia.

Pastor Britt called it the flu-monia.

I went to camp with your kids.

I told you to send your kids to camp with me, and you did.

And one of those little dirt bags tried to kill me, okay?

Yeah. camp with me and you did and one of those little dirt bags tried to kill me okay that's just true but I told you when this series started on spiritual warfare there's an unseen world that

affects the seen world and that is what happened happened. There was some, you know,

there was this thing that I caught, and I didn't see it. I'd have seen it. I'd have run from it.

I'd have fought it off. But an unseen thing took me down. Spent a couple days of mayo,

coughing up lungs. I did lose 15 pounds. So if you need to do that, you know, Well, I didn't lose. I left it. I can show you where it is if you want to go see it.

So I need a lot of grace because I can't quit coughing. But when we started this series on

spiritual warfare, I couldn't wait to get to this week. This was the week I wanted to get to.

And so my inability to say about four sentences in a row without coughing is going to be a

pretty good example that the power is never in the mailman.
