2:00:36Troy Peterson, [address removed].

2:00:40Okay, thank you.

2:00:41Murder Ruseum Val.

2:00:43Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye.

2:00:53So what you have there is the uh national day of prayer. Uh flyer. And uh You know, it's interesting to see on there seventy fourth annual National Day of Prayer. That's That's pretty impressive, isn't it? Seventy-fourth. Annual. And this year, um, I I really like the scripture. There's also bracelets there for y'all. Um And it comes right out of Romans uh chapter

2:01:24fifteen Starting in verse thirteen, now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace. in believing that ye may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost. And I myself this is the Apostle Paul writing and persuaded of you, my brethren, that you also be full of goodness and filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. When I

2:01:54think of that knowledge that understanding I'm just reminded Uh We're I've learned that I get my wisdom from Because I kinda look at myself as not the the sharpest tool in the shed and you know, I don't have this doctorate and stuff like that. But I have an understanding that the wisdom that God co gives me is from having a fear

2:02:25of the Lord. And I believe that's what we really need to get back. On You know, the book of James uh in chapter four talks about there being one lawgiver. That being Jesus the Christ who is able to save Or Destroy. In the book of Isaiah. Thirty three talks about For the Lord is our judge. And Our law giver And

2:02:56Our king. He shall save us. Jesus also talks about this And Matthew ten years. You know, that we don't fear what Man will

2:03:08But God, because he is able to kill the body, but rather fear him which is able to destroy both body and body. and soul. And so we're talking about the fear of the Lord. We see in the early acts of the church great fear came upon the people, And You know, Peter said it like this, if could if you could imagine A fisherman. Going and speaking to the council, the religious leaders. And

2:03:39they beat him, they throw him in jail, angels come, and open up the prison doors. and God tells them to go right back into that that temple and preach to Jesus. See what was happening is they were forbidding him To preach in the name of Jesus. But I thank you for your time.

2:03:58Thank you very much. Okay, do we have anyone else signed in?
