In this sermon, the speaker emphasizes the importance of looking at things from a spiritual perspective rather than focusing on what is seen. He encourages the audience to walk by faith and not by sight, as faith is contrasted with sight. The speaker shares the heartbreak of an apostle or leader who sees some of his people going astray, but remains committed to the work of Christ. He reminds the audience that despite outward troubles, they should not lose heart, as their faith and daily renewal in God will lead to an eternal glory that outweighs any temporary difficulties. The speaker encourages the audience to hold on to Jesus, trust in Him, and not give up, as God can open their eyes to see the invisible and renew their strength every day.

So today I want to talk about from our reading in 2 Corinthians, those of you visiting, we're reading through the New Testament but with a different sequence than is found in the versions of the Bible, whether it be NIV or King James. This is a new paperback version of the NIV but just in a different sequence that I think makes a lot of sense. So we started in Luke and then we read Acts and now we're going through the epistles of Paul as he wrote them sequentially in time back then, 2,000 years ago. So we've read 1st and 2nd Thessalonians, most scholars agree those are his first two letters, and now we're reading 1st and 2nd Corinthians. And our subject today brings us to this important focus, the way to look at things. You know why a lot of us are anxiety ridden or troubled by bad nerves or sleeplessness? It's all in not what's happening to you, it's the way you look at things. The wrong perspective in life can make you just go crazy. And then a different perspective, the same thing is happening to another person but with a different perspective, haven't you ever seen that? Everything's different. You meet one person, they're going through very little and they're ready to fall apart. Then you meet somebody who was a prisoner of war or something and they're together and they're calm and all of that and you go, wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense. The other person was falling apart, you're going through this tremendous stress and you got it together, it doesn't make any sense. Because if you just think of it mathematically, the more you go through, the more anxiety ridden, the more nervous, the less peace you have. But that's not the way it works in life. Some people just have a mosquito go by and they go off. And other people go through trauma and they're calm. You know what the difference is? It's perspective, it's the way to look at things. Now, as an example to us, God has given the apostle Paul who is the model Christian, shall we say from the New Testament, the model follower of Christ. And in this very heartfelt letter of 2 Corinthians, which was written to the church in Corinth where he had spent a year and a half, he's writing it because of troublemakers for the most part. He wants to encourage them, but he actually, it's sad, he's writing this letter because people have gone behind his back. He's the spiritual father of the church and they've stuck a dagger in his back. And they made themselves out of some kind of super apostles, super spiritual. And they compared themselves with Paul to the Corinthians and Paul's not there. He's in jail, he's traveling elsewhere. And they put Paul down and they said things like, we're eloquent, we know how to speak. That guy, Paul, his letters are pretty good. But when he was here, you remembered him. He wasn't a good speaker. He wasn't eloquent. He didn't know how to turn the eloquent phrase. And they said a lot of other things and they started to take advantage of the Corinthian believers that Paul loves so much. He talks like somebody madly in love with them where he says, I'm the one who committed you in marriage to Jesus Christ as a pure bride. And now these people have come up and messed up your relationship with Jesus, which goes to show us that leaders need constant vigilance because just because someone starts out on the right path doesn't mean they'll stay on the right path. You can go off the right path. You can start hearing people talking smack and believe it. And it's got Jesus in it. It's got God in it. It's got prosperity in it or whatever the message is. In this letter, Paul says the most amazing thing where he says about these false apostles, he calls them their masqueraders, their deceitful workers. He calls them very strong names, which goes to show that sometimes you have to call it the way it is. He says, they've told you about a Jesus, but not the Jesus I told you about. And you got a gospel. They gave you good news, but it's not the true good news that I preach to you. And this is the strongest one. You've received a spirit, but it's not the Holy Spirit. What was that like? So this is the heartbreak of an apostle. This is the heartache of a pastor or a leader who loves his people and see some of them going astray. Now in the middle of that, he's telling them, listen, the work that I've done and the work that I want to keep doing for Jesus is the most important work in the world. Because whether I suffer, it's for the cost of Christ, whether I'm free to travel, it's for the cause of Christ. He says, I'm doing everything for your growth and your benefit so that more and more people might know the gospel. And then out of nowhere in chapter four, verse 16, he says this, therefore, because of the work that he's doing, we do not lose heart. That means we don't give up. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. Since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen, invisible is eternal. And then later in the next chapter, he just kind of summarizes all of that by saying, for we live by faith and not by sight. Let's go back to where we started reading there. Therefore, we don't lose heart. We don't give up. And now notice the contrast he's going to make. He's making a bunch of comparisons, contrasts, watch them. Though outwardly we are wasting away, that's his physical body. Yet inwardly there's his inner person. We're being renewed day by day. Let's just talk about that verse and then we'll go back. So he's saying, we don't lose courage. Paul, how do you keep going on? How do you keep going through all that you go through? He says, no, we don't lose courage. We don't give up. I don't quit. How do you get it in your life so that you won't quit? Twice in the early years of me being in the ministry as pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, it was so discouraging. I say this honestly, shamedly in a way, but it's honest before God. Twice in the early year, year and a half that I went in the ministry, I tried to leave the ministry twice. I made plans on two different days to make appointments or phone calls to try to get out because I just was beat down. You ever get discouraged? I mean, with a capital D. God blocked it both times, but life can beat you down, discouragement, problems. Paul says, no, we never lose heart. Well, how do you get to a place where you don't lose heart? We're going to get to the way to look at things in a second, but this is the route. He said, no, we don't lose heart for this reason. Yeah, outwardly it's hard because I'm getting older, he says, and I've gone through a lot of stuff, travel, preaching, persecution, and outwardly, physically, I'm wasting away. I feel pain. When they beat me on the back just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean you don't feel it. The idea that because we're Christians, we don't feel pain, that's crazy. Sometimes we feel more pain than people who aren't Christians because our hearts have become so sensitive to things. So he says, no, outwardly, I get older. I feel pain. Traveling is harder. And in a second, we're going to learn some of the things he went through. He says, but there's a dichotomy to life. There's the outward person. And then there's the inward person. The outward person is your body, your bones, your muscles. He says, that dissipates, that you cannot stop. And when you're under extreme pressure, when you're under that kind of pressure, he said, you feel it even more. But he said, there's another part of life, which very few of us concentrate on. He says, that's the inner person. He said, now my body is getting weaker as I go through life. But my inner person, listen, is renewed every day. What's the inner person? That's the invisible place of your spirit, your heart, where you have faith, where you experience hope, where you feel joy, where you have faith in Christ, where you experience the blessings of the Holy Spirit. You don't experience the Holy Spirit in your hand or in your knee. You feel him in your heart, in your spirit, spirit with spirit. And he said, every day in that inner person, I experience a renewal. Now, what's interesting about the Greek language in that sentence is this. He's not saying, look, the Lord helps me get through that. Even though I'm physically going through it, somehow he keeps me from collapsing. No, that's not what it means at all. He says, no, every single day, I have experiences of God's grace where he makes me brand new. I have the strength of a lion. I have the strength that I had when I first got converted. God has no plan for us where we just get slow down, slow down, and then he just gives us enough to get through. No, Paul says, outwardly, I'm wasting away. Inwardly, I'm being made new, renewed, renewed daily, brand new, full strength. How many would love some of that? Come on, lift your hair. We have it somehow in our minds. There has to be a slowdown because the body is slowing down. Paul says, not so. He says, I've learned the secret of every day being made brand new in my strength. Now, listen, your body can be strong, but when your heart is weak, your faith is weak, your hope is gone, your joy is gone. I don't care how good you're physically in shape. Life is hardly worth living. How many would say amen to that? The other part is true. You can be physically going through a lot, but if God is renewing you every day, praise God, I can do it. I know I'm in prison, but I'll write a letter while I'm in prison. I'll bless the guard who sees me every day. It's all about this daily renewal, which gave him the victory. Notice also, God doesn't give you strength today for next week. He only gives you what you need for the day. This is something I did not know, even as a young Christian, as a young minister. Some people think you can have an experience with God, which will carry you into the end of April. Never, never. Give us this day, our God renewed Paul on a daily basis. That helps me to say to you and helps me myself, you have to learn to live one day at a time. Don't say tomorrow we're going to do this. I broke down watching the news in Florida when I saw this thing that happened in our city with the seven children who died. I just cried like a baby and then I avoided the news. I would just change the channel. I wouldn't look at the newspaper if they had that article. It was too painful for me. You have to make the most of every day because tomorrow is not guaranteed. But not only that, notice how God works. Paul says he doesn't renew me today for next month. I don't have some ecstatic experience where it's going to carry me through. He says, every single day I have to meet God and he has to strengthen me for what day? Today. God cannot do anything for me today that will help me tomorrow. He can give me directions, but the strength I need for tomorrow, if tomorrow comes, he will give me tomorrow. What's the strength I need for today? That's what he's going to give me today. Paul says, I've learned the secret of the right way to look at things because every single day I go to God in prayer. I listen to his word. I spend time with him. I walk with him. I talk to him. I let him talk to me. I invite him to talk to me. And every single day, my battery is fully charged. Not a little, not just to get me through, help me that I'll make it through. When I was little, going to a little Pentecostal church that my mom and dad drug me to, they used to have testimony service. How many ever went to a church where you had testimony service? Oh, wow. The testimonies were a lot like this. Ladies would stand, same people would stand. And I was like seven, eight, nine years old. I would be watching it. Pray for me that I make it. The road is long and the valleys are deep and the mountains are high, but just pray for me. The testimonies were so depressing. Nobody wanted to praise God at the end of the testimony. You felt bad for everybody. Paul says, no. Every day, fully charged up. Oh, praise God. Come on. Let's put our hands together. That's what God is able to do for us. Every day. The pastor symbol, I've been serving God for 40 years or 20 years. I've been serving God and now my kids, it's so hard. Every day I'm renewed, Paul says. Every single day he renews me in my inner person, not your outer person. Don't let your outer person dominate your inner person. Just because you're going through pain or you're sick or whatever, or you're getting older, you're getting tired, you're under some intense strain, doesn't mean you can't be strong on the inner person. The inner person is the most important person. So Paul says, that's what happens every day. Now let's go back to that verse and look at it with me. So for our light. And now here's the way to look at things because of this daily renewal for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them just look at that. He's saying, because I get renewed, God opens my eyes so that I can see things the way I need to be looking at things. And he says, now that God helps me to see through the eyes of faith, for we walk by faith and not by sight. He said, here's the way I look at things. Am I going through some heavy stuff? Yeah, but it's light. And it's just for a moment compared to what's coming now that my eyes are open and I realized the eternal reward I have with Jesus in heaven. Oh, I can put up with this because when the other comes, you can't even compare it. It's like, here's a cure for the disease that's going around. Yeah, but the needle's going to prick you a little bit. Yeah, I know that's just for a second. I'll take it. So I don't get the disease. So Paul says my light and momentary affliction. Oh, he must have had an easy life. Pastor Simba, I have no light and momentary affliction. I'm really going through it. Are you? Are you really going through it? Am I really going through it? Look in another place that we read this week. In fact, yesterday's reading, look at second Corinthians. He's talking about the false apostles. Are they servants of Christ? I'm out of my mind to talk like this. I am more. I've worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews, the 40 lashes minus one. You know why they can only lash them 39 times? Because too many people died with the 40 lashes. So they said, you can't ever go past 39. He said, I got that five times. Three times I was beaten with rods. That means full grown men look with a big rod, taking a full swing. Five times, three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was pelted with stones. Three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea. You didn't like the hotel you stayed in? How about where he stayed? I've been constantly on the move. That's hard on your nerves. Constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from the Gentiles, in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea, and in danger from false believers. I have labored and toiled. And I have often gone without sleep. I have known hunger and thirst and I've often gone without food. I have been cold and naked. That's what he went through. And he said, it's light and it's momentary. It ain't nothing. How many would like to have that kind of faith? To have that kind of perspective in life? To say, why was it light? Why was it momentary? Because he said, compared to what's going to be in heaven, he says, here's the contrast. This is light compared to the weight of glory. And he uses a phrase in the Greek language that the scholars say, he ran out of words. He wanted to discuss the magnificence, the splendor and the happiness of heaven, the weight of it. It's going to be so heavy. You won't be able to take it. Listen to me. That glory is something you can barely take and live. You can barely stand it and live. It's joy. It's happiness. He says, the weight of what's waiting for me is so heavy compared to, yeah, I was stoned. I've been through a few things, but it ain't nothing. It ain't no big thing compared with that. But if you only see what you're going through and you don't see what's waiting for you, you're going to tend to want to quit and give up. You're going to be morose. You're going to be depressed. You're going to be sad. You're going to be discouraged. Paul says, no, I know what I'm going through, but I'm thinking about what's waiting for me. And by the way, also this other contrast, this is just for a few moments. The other thing has no end. I want to say something to you. Came to me because I love you so much, but I know so few of in the way I want to know you. Did you know 1 billion years from now, we're all going to be with Jesus. How many believe that with all your heart left your hand. So I want to say something to you. When we get to heaven, I promise I'm going to look all of you up. No, I mean, this dead serious. I say this before God and we will sit and we will just talk. And you'll tell me everything Jesus brought you through and you'll tell me your story and I'll tell you mine, but you hear more of mine. I never hear yours. Let's just spend like 30, 40 years talking together up in heaven. All in favor say, I, and just think we'll be able to fellowship and no end. Listen, no end. No, no. Sunday has an end, but not heaven. No. March has an end, but not have no 2015 has an end, but there's no end. Paul says the glory. I was once lifted up there. He'll tell us in this letter. I saw things and heard things. You're not allowed to say you can't talk about it. That's how overwhelming it is. We've lost that in American Christianity. It's all about now. I order. It's all about physical things. And we get bent out of shape because we're not having the right way to look at things that Paul had. He said, yeah, I'm going through some things, but what he went through, how does that come? Don't aren't you embarrassed to complain about anything? As I read that, what he went through and they just brushes it off and says, yeah, that's nothing compared to what Jesus has waiting for me. I get embarrassed. I feel ashamed. Like, how could I ever complain? What have you and I ever gone through compared to him? And he was happy and we're depressed. He was happy and rejoicing. And you and I are bummed out about what we learn now that this way of looking at things is the key. And now he sums it up by saying this. Let's go back to the verse. So we fix our eyes, not on what is seen, but what is unseen. Since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. That look at me, everybody. And all of you that are across the street, I understand we have a huge crowd in overflow. Listen, you're going to walk out of here today and you're going to be faced with this choice. And all of you watching on the webcast, here's our choice. We can walk by faith or we can walk by sight. Remember what Paul said? We walk by faith and not by sight. What's the contrast faith versus site. What's that mean? Paul says, when you walk by faith, you don't just focus on the things that are seen, prison, money, credit cards, bills, job, subway, relatives, politics, government. He says, no, if you just focus on that, you're going to be bent out of shape a good part of the time. Am I correct? He said, no. When God renews you every day and teaches you how to walk by faith, you're doing physical things. You're working on your job and you're working on the computer, but the eyes of your heart are saying things that are invisible. That's what keeps you steady. That's what keeps you strong. You're thinking about Jesus. He's invisible. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. You're thinking about the value of a soul. You're thinking about heaven. You're thinking about the fact that God has saved your children. These are invisible things. Paul says, I don't just look at things that are seen. Because if I look at things that are seen, I'll give up, I'll quit. But if I look at things that are unseen, I'll remember God is faithful. God is going to see me through. Where do you see that, Paul? Paul, show me where you see that. No, I see it. It's an invisible thing, but it's more real than my situation now. And that's the difference. The change in perspective makes your life totally radically change. So look at me, everyone. How are you living today? Are you preoccupied with physical things, what you're going through, your little world, our little thing, and physical money and retirement and a job and promotion? Is that where you're at? Or are you going to walk by faith and say, I know in whom I have believed. And I'm persuaded that he's going to take care of me. And 2 trillion years from now, I'm going to be in heaven, enjoying an endless eternity with a glory that I can't even imagine. It's going to be no more crying, no more tears, no more pressure, no more sin, no more temptation, no more disappointment, no more letting people letting me down. Come on. Can we put our hands together? What a day that will be. What a day that will be. The modern day prosperity teachers, a good number of whom are crooks and extorters of money from people. They say, Oh, don't give me that pie in the sky in the by and by I'll take pie in the sky in the by and by, because in this life, you can be a great Christian like Paul and go through a lot of difficulties. There's no formula to have faith to avoid trouble. Sometimes Jesus permits tremendous trouble in our lives to teach us faith and to get us our reward even bigger. So if you're going through something today, it's light and it's only going to be it's passing. It's it's come. It's passing through. It's like a storm. It's just going to pass through. How many have been through some storms and God brought you through them and they didn't last forever. Wave your hand at me. Right. All right. You might see some others, but remember compared to what's waiting for us, we walk by faith, not by sight. That's why people give money because they give money for which is physical. They say, no, I'll give that up so that somebody else can benefit spiritually. We walk by faith and not by sight. That just reminds me of something I want to close with. I quoted that verse from Hebrews 12, looking unto Jesus, the author and the finish of our faith. How can you look unto Jesus? He's invisible. See, that's what faith is. You're looking at Jesus every day, even though you can't see him, you can see him. You're looking at the blessings of the Holy spirit. You're looking at your place in heaven. You're looking at the fact that the blood of Jesus washes away all sin, that those are all invisible things, but they are the things that anchor your soul, keep you strong. If you just look at what's in the New York post of the daily news could grief. This week is holy week coming up. Friday's crucifixion Friday. I just was thinking of that verse, looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising its shame. And when they spit at him and mocked him, come down from the cross. If you're so great, come down. And he felt all that pain. And even his own disciples said, come on, you know, they must've been thinking if you're, if you're really who you said you were, why don't you come down? Why don't you come down? Why are you enduring all of this? They opened this back up. So it was like hamburger meat before they even crucified him, put the nails through his hands, the crown of thorns on his head. And the Bible says that how he endured it and being stripped just about naked in front of all those people, he endured it all and said, it's shameful to you, but I can endure it for the joy set before him. What joy? No, it wasn't joy that he saw in the physical world. It was the joy that he saw by faith. I'm going back home soon. You can kill me, but when it's all over, I'm going to rise again. And then I'm going to go back to where I was from all eternity. I'm going home to be with my father. Yeah, I can put up with this now because I know what the end is going to be. But more than that for the joy set before him, no, there'll be a Sunday sometime and there'll be a meeting in a church and there'll be a Millie Borgos sitting there who was lost as lost could be. But because of what I'm going through, she'll be saved. Her sins will be gone. I'm going to turn her into a great woman of God. And there'll be people in the balcony and people from Uruguay and Argentina, and they'll all be together and they'll have peace and their sins will be forgiven. But the only way I can see that happen is I have to go through this, but it's worth it all. I'll go through it. I'll take the, I'll take the blow. I'll take the punishment. I'll endure it. You're mocking me. You're laughing at me. You won't laugh forever. You won't mock forever. There's going to come a day when I'm going to rise again. Every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Come on, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. See the same thing Paul went through on a lesser scale. He said, it's light and momentary compared to what I have made. I'm not going to complain because of what's waiting for me, Jesus, in a unique way that we can't fully understand. He not only knew he was going home and that the father would take care of him. He saw us. He saw me growing up our little rascal, fighting God tooth and nail. You want to see someone who fought God? Some of you are with me. You're only here today because he just loved you into the kingdom. Am I right or wrong? Jesus said, I'll take it. Who endured the shame, not despising it for the joy set before him. Oh God, open our eyes that we might see invisible things that will help us through the visible things. Let's close our eyes. If you're here today and the visible world around you is so difficult right now and Satan is suggesting to you, quit, give up, quit, give up, give up. Stop following Jesus. Stop. Stop this Jesus Christian stuff. While I was speaking, God's opened your eyes a little bit and you see what's waiting for you. You see that it's just light and temporary compared to the heavy glory that's coming that will last forever. God is telling you today, don't look only at the things that are seen. Keep your eyes on the things that are invisible unseen because the invisible things are eternal. The stuff that you see with your eyes, they're temporary. It's gone in a second. Your life is a vapor, much less the things in your life. Hang on to me. Trust me. Even if you've messed up, even if you failed, even if people have let you down and put a knife in your back, hang on to Jesus today. If you don't know the Lord and you're not a Christian, all you have to do is say, God have mercy on me. Forgive me of my sins. I do believe Jesus. You're the one that God the Father sent to die for my sins. You died in my place. You took the punishment for me so that I could be free. I want you as the center of my life. That can happen today too. But what can also happen to you and the webcast, you over across the street, is you can say, no, I'm going to hang on. I will not quit. I will not quit. God is opening my eyes, and I'm seeing things that are invisible. He's going to renew me every day. I'm going to be strong like a lion every single day. I'm not going to run out of gas. I'm not going to start the race and not finish it. If you'd like me to pray for you, because the Lord is talking to you. I'm not going to try to define how he's talking to you, but he's reaching for you. You can feel his love calling you to stand up where you are across the street and watching on the webcast. I don't care where you are. Stand up if you can. If you're not in a public place, stand up next to that computer. If you're in the balcony or downstairs, stand up and say, pastor, pray. I don't want to quit. I don't want to lose my grip on God. I want to finish the race. I want to live by seeing things eternal. I want to walk by faith, not by sight. I've been walking by sight too much. Just stand up right where you are. He's going to help you. Stand up right where you are and say, pastor, I need the Lord today. I need him to open my eyes so I can see things that I've not been seeing lately. I need him to just renew me today. Today, he needs to strengthen me. He needs to renew me. Just stand up right where you are. I will pray with my whole heart for you. If you raised your hand, come quickly to the front. Come on. Those of you across the street, the deacons, the pastors there will help you. But everyone standing in the balcony, come down, everybody in the front. We're going to pray. You're not going to quit. You're not going to give up. Therefore, I don't feign. I don't give up, Paul said. Though my outward person is going through a lot of stuff, inwardly, he helps me every day. He renews me. Because he renews me, I realize that what I'm going through is temporary and it's light. It's light. It's light compared to what he has waiting for me. I'm going to keep on believing. Those of you who just go to church, but you're not a born again Christian, you've never been changed from the inside out, you need to come up here. Go in a church, whatever country you're from, whatever state you live in, go in a church and try to live a good life. It's not what Christianity is about. You must be born again. Jesus said that. You got to be born again. Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him, he endured the cross. He saw something beyond physical eyes and that held him. Father God, we thank you for your word today. Oh, your word is rich. It's pure, strong. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by your word. We're not going to quit. We're going to keep looking at Jesus. We're going to walk by faith, not by sight. We're not going to let the things around us, the things we see, get us down. We're not going to let our circumstances be stronger than your promises. How could our circumstances be greater than your promises and faithfulness? No, we're standing on you today, on your word, on your love, on your faithfulness. Help my brothers and sisters here not to quit, but to run the race to the end, to be full of joy and peace because they walk by faith and not by sight. Save us all in this building and watching on the webcast and across the street. Help us to start today as never before, to be renewed every single day, made strong, strong like a lion every single day by your grace, no matter what's going on with our lives, so that we can walk by faith and not by sight, so that we can have the right perspective on life. If only in this life we have hope, we're of all people the most miserable. For we should just eat and drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. But no, we know that Jesus who died for our sins rose again from the dead, and we one day will be with him in heaven. Make us strong today. For anyone who has come forward, Lord, who does not know you as their Lord and Savior, help them right now to just say, Jesus, forgive me. Jesus, forgive me. Just forgive me of my sins. I put my faith in you. Come and live inside of me and make me the person you want me to be. Wash away all my sins. Write my name in the Lamb's book of life in heaven, so that I know I'll spend eternity with you forever and ever. And now I pray that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of the Father and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit will be with us all day today. God, renew us all day today so that we can face today's challenges. If tomorrow comes, you're going to be faithful to do it again. We're looking to you, and you're going to bring us through. For we pray it in Jesus' name. Let's give God one last hand clap of praise. Come on, if you're walking by faith, clap. Not by sight, not by sight. Turn around and hug a bunch of people.
