The Final Score | Marking the End Times

welcome to marking the end times I'm Mark Hitchcock and it's hard to believe that that 2024 is come and gone it's hard to believe that we're still here and that Jesus hasn't come back I want to thank you so much for your faithful support and your faithful listening to these videos every week to these programs we appreciate it so much I going to wish you a happy New Year as we launch into this New Year I pray it'll be a blessed year for you and I pray that this will be the year that Jesus uh

returns s and on today's program I want to bring a message I pray it'll be an encouragement to you as we go into the new year it's a message I brought at the end times.com conference The Tipping Point conference back in September in in in the Dallas area I it's it's a teaching on Psalm 2 um Psalm 2 I I call this message the final score you could call it where history is headed because Psalm 2 tells us that history ultimately is headed to the feet of Jesus Christ to his kingdom when he comes back

to this Earth again and of course the next event We Believe on God's prophetic calendar is the rapture and the Rapture may happen in 2025 and set into motion all these wonderful events that the Bible predicts but you know most of us in fact none of us know of the immediate future we don't know what a day holds we don't know what tomorrow holds but according to the Bible we can know the ultimate future so while we may not know the immediate future and what's going to happen in our lives tomorrow or next week or

this coming year we can know the ultimate future in Psalm 2 the final score of where history is headed so I pray that as we we launch into this new year together I pray that Psalm 2 will be a great encouragement to you and give you great hope as we go into this new year God bless you and I hope you enjoy uh this video today bless you guys thank you thank you so much well thank you all so much it's it's a great to be here and I was just uh thinking as I was

uh than saving my soul that's the greatest thing God's done for me is to give give Cheryl's my wife so a great blessing well this conference has been great so far I've enjoyed it so much much it's been hadn't it been stimulating informative a great couple of days and we're not finished yet I'm I'm batting clean up here for us and so take your Bible and turn to Psalm two now I I was uh backstage and when Billy cron was speaking this last time he began reading Psalm 2 and I thought surely he's not going

to speak on Psalm 2 because that's what my message is about and you I began to panic and he read it and then kind of ve went off to some other different things and I know Lee Cummings mentioned it also as well but that's going to be our text so turn there with me to to Psalm 2 you know today's the first day of fall it doesn't feel like it out there uh very much and of course fall uh means football I know uh Jimmy Evans was talking about watching the Dallas Cowboys last week and

I think I probably told you all this dumb joke before it's one of my favorite ones but you've heard about the the the Dallas Cowboys fan who wanted to have uh four Dallas Cowboys players be the Paul bears at his funeral and somebody said well why would you want that and he said so they can let me down one last time and uh so anyway that's kind of where I'm at right now yeah well it's it's it's true I've I've been a fan for uh for 60 years and uh hadn't been good lately but speaking

of football one of the most memorable games for me and for my family was the the 2012 Fiesta Bowl I'm in Arizona and was a New Year's Day BCS Bowl my wife and I and our two boys we all went to Oklahoma State University and they were Big 12 all right there you go they were were Big 12 Champions that year first time they'd gone to a BCS Bowl uh they played they played Stanford and so we went out to our whole family we got this house to stay it was a really big deal and

I went to the game and so I'm sure none of you remember the game but they're playing Stanford Andrew Luck was the the the quarterback for uh Stanford and uh Stanford went up seven to nothing then they went up 14 to nothing and then my wife and one of my sons are Eternal optimists me and my other son they call pessimus we just call ourselves realists uh we began to say well it was good we came here it was kind of fun we had a good time you we began to you know they're not going

to win yeah they're no good and OSU comes back ties it up actually the game was tied four different times but OSU never LED during regulation but in the fourth quarters it's winding down the game's tied 38 to 38 uh Stanford just grinding out the clock they're they're down there close just for a chip shot field goal they kick this field goal to get end the game and sure enough the guy just just hooks this kick to the left and and misses it so it goes into overtime well in overtime Stanford gets the ball first

uh they get down there they can't score a touchdown they try a field goal they miss it ohu gets the ball they kick a field goal they win 41 to 38 I mean it's you know where're everybody's celebrating and again if there's any Stanford fans please excuse me for this but their band was so obnoxious I couldn't be I was so happy we won just to watch their band suffer after the game I mean it's not very uh not a very Christian attitude but man it was good I I was enjoying it enjoying it big

time but we got back that night to this place that we were staying that we'd rented it was midnight and we were starving me and my son so we began to to get some stuff out to eat turned on ESPN and it was the kickoff of the OSU Stanford game we had just left they're replaying it immediately now as I was watching it on television there I was totally relaxed this time Stanford went up 7 to nothing and no problem now as positive as could be they went up 14 to nothing no sweat I mean

we're just totally relaxed and enjoying ourselves and again my wife as much as she loves Oklahoma State she wanted to stay up and watch this thing finally about 2: am I said I'm going to bed um I know who wins this thing it's all over with I'm not going to stay up and watch this uh this late but but isn't it great to watch a game and know the final score ahead of time to know who wins uh to taste the victory uh you can relax there's no Panic there's no hand ringing there's no wild

s wings and the emotion no pounding heartbeat no sweaty palms no pacing back and forth on the living room floor waiting for those final seconds of the game to tick away and few things calm the nerves like knowing the final score before it's all over and that's the message really of Psalm 2 you and I can know the final score not just of a football game but of human history when you and I look around at our our our world today and see all the trouble and all the turbulence we don't have to hit the

panic button we don't have to be filled with with with fear and Fring we know the final score God's already shown us the winner and it's his son of the Lord Jesus and Jesus is going to come back and take his throne now the future of this world belongs to him this world has been promised to Jesus history as it's been said is his story and there's no greater comfort in these chaotic uncertain times in which we live that they know where it's all headed and that's what Psalm 2 is all about now before we

start to unpack this Psalm let me briefly put it in its context Psalm 2 is strategically placed in the Psalms the first two Psalms Psalm 1 and Psalm two are kind of like the driveway into the Psalms and they answer the two great questions of life we won't take time to read it but Psalm 1 answers the question where am I going where am I going you notice it begins how blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the couny of the ungodly it begins with the one who's blessed who follows God look at the

very last word of the psalm perish the Wicked Will perish it's it's two paths in life it it's two uh Humanities and you need to make sure that you know that you're on the right road so it's it's where am I headed but Psalm two then is Psalm one gone International it's Psalm 1 gone Global it answers the question where is history going where's history headed it's the the big plan of History so we meet the two great issues of Life at the front door of the Psalms I need to know where I'm going and

I need to know where history is going God wants us to see the the Panorama for our planet so I've got a simple outline to unpack this Psalm there's four equal parts there's 12 verses here and we have three verses for each part and there's four different voices in this Psalm four people speaking we have the conspiracy the contempt the the conquest and the call we have the voice of the Nations we have the voice of God the Father the voice of God the son and then the voice of God the holy spirit so Psalm

two opens with what I call the conspiracy the voice of the Nations this is lost Humanity speaking now notice that's first word why are the nations in an uproar and the people's devising a vain thing so it opens with the word why and this is a word that expresses amazement and shock it's as if God in heaven is saying how could they the psalmist can hardly believe it it doesn't make any sense that their actions are total Folly you'll notice you have mentioned here the Nations then the peoples then the Kings then the rulers it's

Nations peoples and all the leaders of this world what you have here here as a global anti-god conspiracy it's an International Alliance on Earth that's opposed to God and notice what they're doing they're in an uproar some translations say they're they're raging notice they're devising a vain thing they're plotting then notice they're they're taking their stand and their counsel so they're they're standing and taking Council together it's a global anti-god uh conspiracy now now what is their rage aimed at or who is it aimed at notice against the Lord and against his anointed the Nations

stand against God's sovereignty and against God's son it's against the Lord and his anointed which means his Messiah so they hate God and they hate Jesus Christ now I know this is a kind of hard for maybe us to get our minds around we look at this world today but but people hate Jesus that they may love the Jesus that they've created but not the Jesus who is God in human flesh and who says that he's the only way to God they hate him Irwin luer in one of his books says this about kind of

this world he said the more they get to know about Jesus the less they like him they don't want a holy Jesus an exclusive Jesus who's the only way to god notice here in verse three this this defiant voice of these Sinners they they speak with one voice they banded together in their rebellion and they rage against God United in their hatred you know mankind today's forgotten the Tower of Babel everybody came together against God and what happened there this Rebellion really goes goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden it continues today

and it's going to intensify as we get closer to the End of the Age Now what could possibly possess people to have such rage against God and against God's son notice the end of verse three this is a description of our world today this is the United voice of of lost Humanity let us tear their feathers apart and Cast Away their cords from us what lost Humanity wants more than anything else is freedom from God that's the heart of human sin it's a rejection of God's rule in favor of our own rule the Lost don't

want God to Reign Over them their motto their agenda is freedom it's Liberation they don't want to be under anyone's Authority it's an angry raging anti- God sentiment they're driven by a desire to be free and they want to break free from anything that defines them in a way they don't agree with or asks them to do something they don't like and this is expressed in every area of life and Satan is the one ultimately who's behind this who's energ izing it all we see it in the area of sexuality people want sexual Freedom they

want to do what they want they want to throw off all restraint I mean look at our sex saturated society and world today I mean you I think pornography is a $15 billion a year a year uh Enterprise we see it in the the lgbtq movement it's an organized conspiracy to throw off any kind of restraints it's it's the end of this verse tear their feeds apart Cast Away their cords from us redefining marriage we see it with so-called reproductive Freedom people want freedom and they they've they've take changed you know taking the life of

a baby in a mother's womb and they've called it reproductive freedom but but it's Freedom we want to be free we don't want any restraints upon us we see it with so-called gender Freedom this goes to the very heart of who we are it's a satanic attack against the Zenith or the the Pinnacle of God's creation Humanity made in God's image we see a gender confusion mess in our our culture today and I like to call it I actually got this from from irn Luther he calls it gender Rebellion people say to God that God

you don't decide who I am I decide who I am again it's it's a rebellion it's throwing off uh the restraint uh from God you know people who recognize biology are now considered haters I mean what what we see in our cultur it's just an insanity it's a raging against the Creator Os Guinness a well-known Christian thinker has a book called impossible people and he laments what you see in a culture and he said you know you've reached the the bottom point when evil becomes cool and that's what you see in our culture today evils

become cool we see it with intellectual Freedom atheism people want to throw off any restraint that there's no God at all it's kind of interesting you think about atheists what is the main Mantra of atheists there is no God and I hate him think about that that that's their Mantra there's no God and I hate him they spend most of their life fighting God and hating God if he doesn't exist just quit worrying about him but all they want to do is fight him we see it with Evolution that this world is just a cosmic

accident we see it in a lot of of school curriculum today this intellectual Freedom we see it with with so-called spiritual Freedom people get to decide whether there's a God or not and if they believe there is a God then then I can decide how I want to come to God you know it's interesting this last week I'm sure many of you read this the pope was in Singapore and you can read a lot of what he said but here's a few thoughts he said all religions are a path to reach God they are are

I I make comparison like different languages different idioms to get there but God is for everyone and since God is God for everyone we're all children of God and then listen to this there's only one God and our religions or languages paths to reach God some are sik some are Muslim some are Hindu some are Christian but they're all different paths to God now that's not what Jesus said said I'm the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father but by me John 8:24 I mean that Jesus said it as clearly

as you can say it he says unless you believe I am he's taking the name of Yahweh in the Old Testament at the burning bush to himself unless you believe I am you will die in your sins but Humanity wants to throw off all restraint and say God I'm I'm going to decide I'm how I want to come to you and I want to come to you however I want we see it with anti-Semitism I know it's been talked about by many of the speakers but God has promised and given the title deed of that

land that particular Land by the way the only land that God's ever given to any people on Earth he didn't give Ireland to the Irish or didn't give you know Italy to the Italians I mean you know God sets the borders of people's lands but it's the only people that he's promised to land he's promised to them forever and the world hates Israel because God loves them and they want no restraints they want to be free free from uh the Jewish people and from the promises God has made to them so there's so much more

we could say but every day the nations are committing Cosmic treason against the God who created them they're rising up in opposition the world is giving God a clenched Fist and we see it in politics entertainment on college campuses with the global Elite the demand is freedom uh PT fory was a well-known Scottish Theologian he said this years ago this is a great quote it's one of my favorites the first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom but it's Master the the first duty of Every Soul it's not to find our freedom

that's what people want but it's to find our master and when you find Jesus you find Freedom look you and I are not free to be who we want to be you you'll be your truest self when you are what God created you to be which is a a worshipper of the true and the only God that's why we were created you and I were made by God and we were made for God and you can't live apart from him you'll never know peace and purpose apart from God but that's what humanity is trying to

do lost Humanity wants its freedom they don't want their master and sadly the search for Freedom just actually results in deeper enslavement you know it's tragic people who are lost will look at a Christian and say man you're you you don't have any freedom you got to follow all these rules all this stuff in the Bible you're not free I'm free now the real truth is we're free and they're enslaved they're enslaved to their own nature into their own appetites and it results in chaos our world's a mess it's reeling out of control they call

good evil and evil good it's all upside down it's it's a world gone wild and it's going to get worse as the End of the Age approaches I mean what's what's one of the titles for the Antichrist here in 2 Thessalonians 2 the man of lawlessness the man of sin he's going to lead a final allout Rebellion against God to try to throw off all the restraints and I think we see ourselves in our world today on the Leading Edge of that now what is God's response to this Global Rebellion that this corporate conspiracy notice

the contempt in verse four he who sits enthroned in the heavens laughs at them this is the voice I believe of God the father so the scene shifts from Earth to Heaven God's on his throne and you'll notice God isn't in heaven panicking about what's happening on the earth this is the only time in the Bible that God laughs and this is not the laughter of humor or hilarity this is the the laughter of divine derision Divine mockery and contempt God is mocking their puny Rebellion you notice here God's not phased God is unimpressed Isaiah

40 says that all the nations are just a like a drop in the bucket before God think about this let's say you've got a patio up behind your house and you're going to put up a real nice pergola out there and kind of build onto your patio and um you're doing it down here in Texas and and as you're getting ready to do this there's a there's a few anthills that are out there in this area where you're going to construct I mean these are Texas fire ants I mean these are some nasty pesky little

creatures right but these ants come together and they form the alliance of the ants and they're going to stand against your plans they're going going to rise up together in in anger and fury and they're going to stop you from your plan to build uh this pergola it's laughable right I mean it's it's a comedy show a bunch of puny angry fire ants trying to stand in the way of your plans to to build your patio out in this pergola it's never going to happen and that's just the kind of the simplest kind of dumbest

illustration I could think of but but think about this to to an infinitely greater degree the Nations cannot upset God's King they can't thwart God's promise they can't topple God's throne and never forget that with all that's happening in our world today that God has the last laugh that there's never any panic in heaven only plans like what someone said years ago that the Trinity never has to meet an emergency session have to call a meeting together what what are we going to do notice verse six but as for me I've installed my king upon

Zion Zion's Jerusalem my Holy Mountain Christ is presently enthroned in heaven but this looks ultimately to his return to the Earth and his enthronement on David's throne and his thousand year rule so Zion here is Jerusalem God's going to install his King there someday that's why Satan is fighting so bitterly against Israel and the Jewish people Christ's Earthly Kingdom will be centered there but God is saying here it's as good as da the outcome sure I've already installed my king on Zion it's as good as Don now the third stanza notice in verse seven the

conquest now the voice changes to the voice of God the son it carries forward from verse 6 I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord he said to me thou art my son today I have begotten thee ask of me verse eight and I will surely give the Nations as your inheritance and the Very ends of the Earth as your possession so the decree of Yahweh here controls history and this tells us a global King is Coming kingdom is coming it hasn't been fulfilled it'll be fulfilled in Revelation 19 and 20 when Jesus

returns think about this for a moment those as you read Psalm 2 this is a prophecy about Christ Second Coming a thousand years before his first coming so David's writing this a thousand years before Christ came the first time and he's writing it about Christ coming now that we know it was at least 2,000 years after that but but Psalm 2 here is a decisive declaration by God of the outcome of human events it's all about Hope for planet Earth it's about Hope for you and for me and more specifically it's about Hope for planet

Earth and hope for you and me in Jesus Christ this world has been promised to Jesus the Nations will be his that's where history is headed that's the the final scene here so Psalm 2 kind of requires a a massive spoiler alert if you will it's a massive spoiler alert all the way here in the Old Testament Jesus wins Jesus wins now let me just pause and make a quick application to this others have mentioned this as well but it's important you and I need to remember this in the days ahead with the upcoming elections

I see so many Believers in panic and all stressed out about the upcoming elections now of course we care I care deeply about I think about it a lot I watch a lot of news about it we need to to vote we need to pray we need to encourage enage others to do that but ultimately we need to know that God's plan can never be thwarted that this world belongs uh to him and we need to take comfort all of us do um in that great truth someday Jesus is going to come back and he's

going to take over this world with ease it's his inheritance you know when you go over to Revelation chapter 5 you you have that that that seven sealed scroll you remember that and really that in chapter 5 with that scroll is presented there the opening of that scroll is really the the the theme of the rest of the Book of Revelation and the only document we know of in that day that was sealed with Seven Seals was a will so in Revelation five jesus takes from the right hand of God the Father the scroll the

seven sealed scroll which is a will which is the inheritance of the nations of this Earth and he begins to open those seals you remember he opens them and there's judgments and then the seventh seal contains seven trumpets and the seventh trumpet contains seven bowls when it's finally opened you get the Revelation 19 to Christ coming again to set up his kingdom and that's what you have here in Psalm 8 all of that's the unfolding of this ask of me I'll give the Nations as your inheritance the very ends of the Earth is thy possessions

so the armies are going to be gathered together there at Armageddon to fight against the Lord Jesus and it says they're going to be dashed to pieces like a Potter's vessel they're going to be smashed and they're going to be dashed to Pieces Jesus is going to come back Revelation 19 says with a sword from his mouth and that that pictures there his spoken word and as Jesus comes back to this Earth at his second coming as my old Seminary Professor Dr Pentecost used to say all it'll have to do is say drop dead and

it's going to all be over I mean there's not a battle really at Armageddon Jesus just speaks the word and they're destroyed and the Beast and the false prophet are cast alive into the Lake of Fire this reminds me of that old saying maybe some of you heard this your arms are too short to box with God and that's this world that we see our world they're fighting God their arms are too short to box with God Jesus will come to take his rightful inheritance it all belongs uh to him all of us know from

from history uh President Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theater on Good Friday April 14th of of 1865 after he was shot they They Carried his body across the street they knew he would he would he would pass soon took him there so he could be surrounded by his friends before he died he died the next morning at about 7:22 on April the 15th many people were gathered there a group of people around the bed but one of them was the Secretary of War Edwin Stanton he said these famous words when when Abraham Lincoln uh

passed they're all standing there in fact a pastor who was there got on his knees and prayed but Edwin Stanton uttered these beautiful words about Abraham Lincoln he said now he belongs to the ages and that's true of some people who accomplish such great things in this world we can say about them now they belong to the ages but only of Jesus Christ can it ever be said that the ages belong to him him he's the Alpha and the Omega he's the first and the last he is the beginning and the end and that's why

you and I must decide for him in in the end Jesus Takes the planet Jesus conquers the world he he sets up a kingdom that lasts a thousand years the ages belong to him and if the future belongs to Jesus it also belongs to those who belong to Jesus I'd ask you a very simple question since I'm uh the last speaker at this conference do you belong to Jesus do you belong to him look if you want a future you have to give yourself to him there may be someone here or someone watching this online

or some that'll someone that'll watch this in the future most important thing in life is that you belong to Jesus if you want a future a real future if you want life you have to trust in him and take him to be your savior the one who died for you on the cross died in your place the one who rose again don't don't leave here without him well that brings us here to the call verses 10 to 12 this is the voice I believe of the spirit listen to these words now therefore o Kings show

discernment take warning oh judges of the earth Worship the Lord with reverence literally with fear Rejoice with trembling do homage literally that means kiss back in that day when you were defeated by another king what would you do you kiss their feet kiss the son lest he become angry and you perish in the way for his wrath May soon be kindled how blessed are all who take refuge in him so the speaker here I believe is is now the Holy Spirit the third member of the Triune godhead he's speaking through the psalmist and it's interesting

here before all of this breaks out of the conquest of Jesus it's like the spirit is extending the Olive Branch before the war is declared and an invitation and a calls going out and the choice is soberly simple kiss the son or feel the fury of his wrath in other words Bend or be broken and the urgency of submitting to Christ is expressed by that phrase his anger May soon be kindled and that's trer today than ever before it may be very soon as Christ comes to catch away his bride and his wrath begins to

be uh uh uh poured out upon upon this this Earth here's a sobering thought to think about it's not a question of will you it's a question of when will you every knee will bow every tongue will confess it's not a matter of will you it's a matter of when will you will you do it when it will still do you good or will you wait and do it through clinched teeth when you'll be banished look all of us are born into this world Rebels but those of us who know Jesus we have bowed and

we've kissed the son we bowed to him and kissed his feet and remember that those feet you bow down to and kiss are the feast that were the feet that were pierced at the cross for your sins Jesus stooped low in coming to this world will we not stoop low to kiss his feet he's a merciful gracious King this world is headed to the feet of Jesus I think about this often that's where history is headed so wouldn't it be good for you and to me to go ahead and get a jump on that and

begin to live our lives there now I mean if that's where everything's headed to the feet of Christ and submission to him wouldn't it be good for us to go ahead and and do that now and live our lives humbly am at the feet of Jesus so as you look around in our world today I pray that you'll Comfort yourself uh with psalm 2 this is the final score that's what Psalm 2 is all about Psalm 2 is the final score the last laugh uh belongs to God Jesus wins we win Jesus Reigns uh we

Reign I I pray that knowing this will will help you in the first and the second and the third quarter of life when maybe you you seem to be down a score or two or when the world seems to be headed uh to overtime which is what we see today remember remember the final score well I began with a football illustration let me uh close with one as well it's kind of a football baseball illustration I I ran across this some years ago let me just read it to you says on a on a balmy

October afternoon in 1982 Badger stadium in Madison Wisconsin was packed more than 60,000 diard University of Wisconsin support ERS were watching their football team take on the Michigan State Spartans Michigan state had the better team what seemed odd however was as the score became more and more lopsided as Michigan state scored more and more and wiconsin fell more and more behind the bursts of Applause and the shouts of Joy from Wisconsin fans grew louder and louder so everybody was wondering how could they be cheering so much and continuing to cheer and hearing even louder when

their team was losing well turned out that 70 M away the Milwaukee Brewers were beating the St Louis Cardinals in game three of the 1982 World Series many of the fans in the stands were listening to portable radios and responding to something other than their immediate circumstances and that's kind of how we are in this world in which we find ourselves look things don't seem to necessarily be going that well for our team down here sometimes on the earth as we look around but if we spend our life just looking at our immediate circumstances we're

going to be downcast and depressed and sadly maybe even despairing but I would ask you here this afternoon are you tuned into heaven are you just watching the game that's in front of us I hear in this world look up there our team is winning winning big winning big and and that victory that Victory there is coming to this earth someday when Jesus comes back and Jesus wins and and one of my favorite verses in the Bible Revelation 115 it's right there in the middle of the Book of Revelation and I think it's there because

John the Lord wants us to be reminded in the middle of the book hey I haven't forgotten the plot line here the Kingdom's coming so right in the middle chapter of the Book of Revelation is that great verse the seventh angel sounds the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will reign uh forever and ever that's the truth that you and I need to have sink into our our hearts into our minds in this world in which we live so you know one of the questions

we get a lot of times and we must ask this ourselves often as we're we're you know watching news unfold in our world people constantly have to be asking this question to themselves what is this world coming to you ever thought that of me what's the world coming to or people might even ask that to us what is this world coming to and I'll tell you what our answer should be it's coming to Jesus this world's coming to it's coming to Jesus but before this world comes to Jesus Jesus is coming to this world he's

coming back to to take us to heaven and then he's going to come back at the end of a time of tribulation as king of kings and Lord of Lord Lords this world is coming to Jesus Christ may God help us to never forget that may God help us to remember the sco final score May God help us to remember that our team is winning it big time in heaven and that victory in heaven is coming to Earth when our lord Jesus comes may his name be praised uh forever amen let's pray together father we

we come before you and we thank you for this word uh written 3,000 years ago by King David but that describes our world today perfectly what we see happening and father I thank you that 3,000 years ago you gave us the final score you're You're The Sovereign God of history history is your story so father I pray for someone today here's distressed perplexed whatever problems they may be struggling with in life whether they're in the first or the second or the third quarter of life or their life may be in overtime we can look father

to the Future and know that final score father I pray if there is someone here today outside of Jesus Christ maybe someone who watched this video maybe in days to ahead maybe years from now that they'll realize that there's only hope found in Jesus Christ and they'll turn to him as their Savior and receive him and find out what life is all about oh Father we're we're Fallen even as Believers we're sinful we're prone to a sin in our lives and father it's easy for us even sometimes as Believers to want to throw off your

restraint that you placed on us want to go our own way and want our own Freedom father help us not to want freedom help us to want our Master to find in him all that we need father thank you so much for this conference thank you for all the speakers you brought here Lord I pray for those who've come a long way thank you for safe travel here I pray that you'll bless all of us now as we we scatter and go to our our different places you'll give give us safety but father help us

to take the things that we've learned here that you planted into our hearts and and take them back to our our families to our homes to our churches to wherever we go that we'll be faithful ambassadors for our Lord Jesus Christ as we await his coming now father as we go into this question and answer time bless us uh fill us with your spirit father use us to answer these questions now we pray these things in Jesus name amen amen God bless you guys thank you
