Hey, this is Beth. Listen, 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. Let's pray together. Father,

we magnify your holy name. I pray that my brothers and sisters in Christ will join me in this

moment. Father, we want to hear from you. We want to your truth without truth father we got nothing it is the

one and only standard we have so we pray father that our hearts would be open to it that our eyes

father would be unveiled that the opportunity to share today came to me as such an eye-opener and

such a blessing and i pray, oh God,

that you would make it so for each one of these. Open our ears to hear from you, God.

We love your word. We give you praise. Make me a servant to these dear, dear brothers and

sisters. In the sweet name of Jesus, amen.

I'm going to do something today that I don't ordinarily do.

Occasionally I have this joy when I'm absolutely overwhelmed by something I've read enough to bring it into class and read parts of it to you.

Every now and then that happens, I'm constantly reading.

I am a big reader. I love books. So I'm constantly in something. But every now and then something just nearly boles me over. And that's the case this morning, as I want to share with you from our text using it as a topical

launch into something else it's going to be a little more broad as you're going to see in just a

moment over the last couple of months I had a book placed in my hand called seizing your divine

moment by Irwin Raphael McManus.

Hands down in the last couple of years, one of the best books I have ever read.

So you will hear quotes a number of times out of this material, and I wanted you to have it

down in writing what the source of this is.
