May I have the communion elements? All to Jesus, I surrender. I want us to resign ourselves tonight to his perfect, holy presence, his will. If you need the elements while John's leading us in worship, just lift your hand. All to Jesus, I surrender. I surrender all to him, my freely given. I will ever love and trust him in his presence, daily and night. All to Jesus. All to Jesus, I surrender. All to him, my freely given. I will ever love and trust him in his presence, daily and night. All to Jesus. All to Jesus, I surrender. All to him, my freely given. I will ever love and trust him in his presence, daily and night. I surrender all. Every voice, close your eyes. I surrender all. I surrender all. All to thee, my blessed savior. I surrender all. I surrender all. Sing that again, every voice now. I surrender all. I surrender all. All to thee, my blessed savior. I surrender all. Praise the Lord, O my soul. Psalm 103, verse 2 and 4. And forget not all his benefits. This is a command to not forget. Forget not all his benefits. Who forgives all, say all. All your sins and heals all your diseases. Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion. It's not just the Lord's will to heal you. It's to crown you with love and compassion. Psalm 107, verse 19 through 21. Don't turn there, just close your eyes and listen. And then they cried to the Lord in their trouble. Oh, what a precious Jesus. That's all you need to do sometimes. And he saved them from their distress. He sent forth his word and healed them. And he rescued them from the grave. And let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love. And his wonderful deeds for men. He heals the brokenhearted. Psalm 147. And binds up their wounds. If you've come in tonight with a broken heart thinking it's absolutely incurable. Sometimes a broken heart seems more difficult than a broken leg. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. May the balm of Gilead cover your broken heart right now. May forgiveness be yours. In Jesus' mighty name. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones. Proverbs 3, 7 and 8. My son, listen there, just receive the word of God. Give attention to my words. Incline your ear to my sayings. Lord, that's what we're doing tonight. Giving attention to your words. Oh, I sense his touch already. We incline our ear to your sayings. We've been listening to your word all night. Now we sense your presence. You are the word. You are the word. Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them. And health to all their flesh. Surely he took our infirmities. Listen, listen, listen friend. And carried our sorrows. Surely he did it. He took our infirmity, our sicknesses. Carried our sorrow, our pain, our emotional pain. Our broken hearts. Yet we considered him stricken by God. Smitten by him and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. Crushed for our iniquity. He was bruised inside for our inner sin, iniquity. And the punishment that brought us peace was upon him. You can leave with peace tonight. Not as the world gifts it. Jesus said, my peace I give unto you. Receive the peace of God here tonight. You watching in your homes. May the peace of the Holy Spirit flood that house. Those of you fearful right now because of sickness. Receive the peace of God. You are in but not of. You are children of heaven. You are pilgrims passing through. We are those who sleep. Death is not our portion. He was pierced for our transgressions. Crushed for our iniquity. The punishment that brought us peace was upon him. And by his stripes we are healed. Oh, I love this. Just sit and listen. The Holy Spirit speaking through Jeremiah. Oh, I feel the Lord now. Jeremiah 8.22 Is there no balm in Gilead? The word Gilead means worship. Is there no balm? A balm is for healing. Do you hear what the Holy Spirit is saying? In a place like this where there is worship. Is there no healing in worship? Friends. And the Holy Spirit through Jeremiah says. Is there no physician there? In other words. Don't you know that Jesus lives? Among a people who praise and worship. And have you forgotten? That he is the physician. The great physician. But you take these elements in a very prayerful state. Just take them in a very prayerful state. Just hold them here. Take the bread out. And don't, don't, don't look at anything but Jesus. There is power. Just play it. Wonder. Wonder. Hallelujah. Heal me oh Lord. Jeremiah 17.14 And I will be healed. Why don't you say that now if you need healing. Heal me Lord. And I will be healed. If you need a miracle just say that. Heal me Lord. And I will be healed. Save me and I will be saved. For you are the one I praise. Behold I will bring health and healing. I will heal them. Jeremiah 33. And reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. Ezekiel 47. Verse 8 He said to me this water flows towards the eastern region. It goes down into the valley. Are you in the valley tonight? Or are you in the valley tonight? I know of a river that flows into the deepest valley and enters the sea and when it reaches the sea that dead sea its waters are healed. I know of a water and a river that brings the dead to life. It brings the hopeless hope. It brings the depressed freedom. It brings the oppressed liberation. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Wonderful Holy Spirit even before we receive your precious precious meal the body and blood of Jesus would you begin to flow now and let the sense of your presence Lord the sense of your glory touch your people now like a glorious river that reaches the dead sea of our life and heals us and it shall be that every living thing that moves wherever the rivers go will live and there will be a very great multitude of fish because these waters go there for they will be healed and everything will live wherever the river goes but to you who fear my name Malachi 4 the Son of Righteousness shall arise just close your eyes and listen the Son of Righteousness shall arise with healing in his wings and you shall go out and grow fat like stall fed calves speaking of the presence of the Spirit and Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people take this bread would you just
