Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries.

Welcome everybody that's joining us by way of live stream or Facebook or whatever you're watching us on.

We wish you were here in the room with us, but they're not allowing us to do that just yet.

So we're thankful for the technology to be able to come to you and have a wilderness society this way.

I've got some of my favorite people sitting at the table here with me, and we got as many in here as

we could without breaking the law. So that's where we are, but we're going to mostly Tammy.

It's good to have her with me. We haven't been to church together in a while, so this is a,

this is a treat. But I want to, it's been over six months since we had a wilderness society

gathering, which is really shocking.

The last one was in the beginning of October.

We normally would take some time off in November and December.

Then we got into that great move of the spirit in Canapolis that carried us through January, February, March.

Same thing, we were in that great swirl.

And then, of course, we got locked down about mid-March and haven't been able to gather, but we knew that this was important enough that we wanted to at least gather like this for tonight. And I've been carrying what I'm going to deliver to you tonight in my heart since probably late December, maybe the early part of January. Yeah, that's probably right after Christmas. Felt like the father began to speak this to me. So I'm just going to jump in and do what we normally do. This may take a while. The good thing is, I don't know when you quit. So if you turn your phone, your computer, whatever off, I have no idea. If you've ever been to a wilderness society, if somebody gets up and leaves, it's super awkward because we got a few hundred

people shoved in this room, but I'll have no idea when you quit. So Apostle Ball used to say,

I'd rather you leave happy than stay mad. So if you get done before I do, thank you for joining us.

And my prayer is that I'd be able to receive the grace from the Lord tonight to deliver some of this back to you

with the same measure of glory and grace that it came to me. And if I do that, then I believe this

could be a transformative night. I don't speak lightly. All of these services, these wilderness

society gatherings are really important. This feels much, much, much different in my heart.

So thanks for joining

with us. We'll just jump right in. I'm going to start by reading quite a bit from my notes,
