Hi.

Lauren (0:03)

I said, we live and learn.

Kanesia (0:04)

I know, I was like, Zoom updated a whole lot of information because last time I shared something on Zoom, I didn't have to click extra stuff or sound or play. Can you open us up with prayer and now I'm going to worship, and then we'll go into teaching.

Lauren (0:22)

Yes, ma'am.

Kanesia (0:23)

Thank you.

Lauren (0:25)

Father, in the name of Jesus, we just come thanking you, Lord. Thank you for this is the day that you have made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Father, we thank you that you are the breath in our lungs.

You are the air that we breathe. We thank you, Father, that we don't take even this smallest thing but great thing for granted. Father, we ask that you will continue to bless us, Lord, as you already have as we move throughout the day. We thank you for your great grace, your great favor, your great mercy, that you've laid up in this day, Father. We thank you that you've gone before us, Lord, and you've made every cricket play straight, so that we can walk victoriously in you, Father. Even when the circumstances and the surroundings don't appear to be victorious, Lord, we stand firmly in your word. We stand in confidence and in faith in what you have already promised, Lord. So Father, we ask that you bless the hearers, Father, that you bless this word and the teaching that's going to go forth today, Lord. We thank you for the families of TSAO, Lord. We ask that you would continue to extend your covering, Father, your protection, your favor, your grace, and your mercy over us, Lord. Father, continue to give us the unction and the guidance that we need to continue to travail and traverse the areas and the assignments that you have given us, Father. Lord, we thank you for great confidence. We thank you for great grace, even the grace that we need to be able to function, Lord, in your promises. We just say thank you, Lord. Father, I thank you for all those that are coming, and even those that might not be able to attend, Lord. We just ask that you would bless them greatly, Father. We thank you for the favor that is overflowing, that is overflowing in their homes, in their families, and in their spheres of influence, in the name of Jesus. And Lord, right now, I lift up prophetess Kanesia.

I thank you for the word that you have given her. I thank you, Father, for the strength that you've given her to release this word, Lord. I thank you that it is in your strength and not her own. Lord, I ask that even as she is pouring out, that you refresh her in the name of Jesus. Bless us to be not only hearers of your word today, Father, but doers as well. Father, help us to receive it wholeheartedly, completely, internally, so that we will produce in the eternal. In Jesus' name. Amen, amen, and amen. Hallelujah. Thank you.

Kanesia (2:59)

Thank you. All right, we're going to go right into worship. Please let me know if you can hear.

Lauren (3:30)

Now we can't hear.

Kanesia (3:31)

Are y'all able to see the screen?

Lauren (3:35)

No. We can hear the music, but not see the screen.

Oh, yes. Yes, we can. I can. I just needed to.

SPEAKER_4 (3:48)

Okay.

When I'm happy, or when I'm kicking and screaming through, sowing and reaping, when I'm growing and weeping, somehow your love is still mine for the keeping. And when I'm distant, when I'm not receiving, in that instant when I am not believing, I still can't explain this feeling of being loved by a love that is living and breathing.

Kanesia (14:42)

I don't know where there's any, but it's so soothing. I'm going to learn it. Y'all pray for me, I'm going to learn it.

So, I'm going to do quick announcements, and then we're going to go right into...

SPEAKER_2 (14:58)

We've got to hold it.

Kanesia (15:02)

There we go. All right, we're going to go, so I'm going to do brief announcements, and then we're going to go right into the teaching.

Sunday, October 1st, we will be in person, so be prepared to come back in to the building. All right? No virtual for a while. So we will be in person October 1st. I thank you all who came to the creative writing. It was... I heard that they had an amazing time in the writing, but I had an amazing time hanging out with the seasonal individuals, if I can put it that way, and the kiddos. Alicia, Nate beat me in Connect 4 So me and him, we're going to have a rematch. That's all I got to say. I didn't appreciate it, but y'all, he beat me.
