GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: Do you know the Father?

BIBLE VERSE: John 10:15, AKJV: As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

EXPOSITION
Though Christianity accepts the existence of the Father, the reality is that He is relegated to the background in many churches. At times the impression is that the Father has quietly disappeared. Jesus is vital to true Christianity; He is the way to salvation, He is the source of truth, He is the path for an abundant life. But Jesus didn’t come just to bring us to Himself. He said one of the principal reasons He came was to lead us to the Father! Jesus said He came to reveal and help us to know the Father, and that knowing the Father was necessary for eternal life! There is more to Christianity than Jesus Christ alone. This may be a new statement to some in the Christian world. But if we honestly examine the words of Christ, we see that is exactly what He taught. Jesus is absolutely essential. Without His sacrifice and life, we would die in our sins. He is our Savior, and without Him we have no hope. We can’t underestimate His importance. But if we believe what He actually said, then we have to accept that Jesus taught us to seek the Father first. He was constantly emphasizing and highlighting the Father. He didn’t come doing His own will, "but the will of the Father" who sent Him. Jesus said that one of the distinguishing marks of His true followers was that "true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him". This is a direct challenge to those who neglect the Father. Jesus Christ directed worship and attention to the Father. He taught us to pray to the Father. He taught us to live by the Father’s Will and abide in His love. He said that by setting a right example we "glorify the Father in heaven". The most unfortunate idea that has arisen in Christianity is the idea of viewing the Father as harsh and distant while Jesus is the loving merciful one. Jesus actually taught that He and the Father are perfectly united by identical character. Jesus said plainly, "I and My Father are one". He didn’t mean they were the same being, but that they shared the exact same purpose and character. Their character can be summed up as love, unselfish, outgoing concern for each other and the creation. When asked by Philip to show them the Father, Jesus explained that knowing Him was like knowing the Father because "the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father who sent Me". In other words, He spoke the words given to Him by the Father. He labeled His work "My Father’s business". So when we read the words of Jesus Christ in the Bible, we should remember they were inspired by the Father. In essence, Jesus serves as the spokesman for the Father, communicating His message to human beings. So, one of the major ways we can learn about the Father is by carefully studying the life and teachings of Jesus Christ! It is clear from Jesus' words that the Father was at the center of His thoughts, teachings, prayers and worship. Jesus came to reveal the Father to us and to lead us to Him! It is through Christ's sacrifice that we can have access to the Father. That is why we pray to the Father "in the name" of Jesus Christ. In fact, God's plan of salvation for mankind will culminate in Christ delivering the kingdom to the Father. Everything Jesus said and did and in fact, the entire Bible leads us to the Father

PRAYER
Loving Father, words are insufficient to express the awe and wonderment of been Your child. Thank You, my dear Father. In Jesus' name I worship You, AMEN.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: Crown of Rejoicing

BIBLE VERSE: 1 Thessalonians 2 19, AKJV: For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

EXPOSITION
There are several different crowns and rewards mentioned, which can be achieved and received for different purpose. One of these is the crown of rejoicing. Paul founded the church of the Thessalonians which is in God during his second missionary journey. And just like at other places, Paul was dogged and harassed by Jews, which brought undue burdens upon the new congregation he has founded. Paul sent Timothy back to encourage the church and remind them of how much they mean to him. The Apostle of the Gentiles was striving to get to those he had ministered to before, even though it was hard. He fought to make sure that they would participate in the first resurrection at Jesus’s returning, and states that this would earn him a crown of rejoicing! Imagine someone that you have sacrificed and labored for, someone you have suffered in order to deliver the truth to, someone that the enemy fought you so hard to give up on, has a part in the first resurrection. Oh what a day of rejoicing that will be, when you see the fruit of your labors and your great trials of pain were not in vain. For someone who has labored and sacrificed beyond what others can imagine in order to save a soul is wise. The hardest cases bring the greatest rewards in the kingdom of Christ. Keep praying, keep fasting, keep fighting for a soul, keep loving, keep trying to establish souls for Christ. God will mend your wounds, you will be rewarded with strength. What a joyful moment it will be when you see the one that no one expected makes it. Rejoicing and discipleship go hand in hand for the Christian! The greatest joy in the world comes from seeing someone you’ve been praying for and witnessing to finally receive Christ and to be established in Him. How many souls have you led to the Lord? How many people have you invested the Gospel into them? Sometimes, as Christians, we go through experiences of shame and pain, some resulting from the people we want to win them for Christ and others as a means for God to use our lives to bring glory to His name. We must know that, the crown of rejoicing will be the strength that will cause us to rise above the pain and grief in winning souls in the age to come. Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day that we can minister to lost souls and point people to Christ. May we be diligent to tell others of the good news of the gospel of grace and rejoice with them in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we cast our crowns before His feet.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I pray that You would give unto me the strength to take every opportunity to testify the truth of the gospel to people in my life, so that they may become my "Crown of Rejoicing" when you return in your glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: The Millennial Rule of Christ

BIBLE VERSE: Rev 20:6, AKJV: Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

FURTHER SCRIPTURES: Ezekiel 37:21-28, Luke 1:30-32, Rev 5:9-10, 1 Thes 4:16

EXPOSITION
Bible prophecy reveals the sequence of end-time events leading up to Christ second coming, and His millennial rule on earth. God promises a wonderful future for true Christians who turn to Him before His return. They will rule on earth with Christ for a thousand years! The Kingdom of God will replace all human kingdoms. Christ will be our king and the saints as priests, serving and teaching the nations here on this earth. Some wrongly teach that there will be no literal thousand-year rule of Christ on earth. This teaching is called amillennialism. Others wrongly teach that the Church will grow in power and influence, perhaps over thousands or tens of thousands of years, converting billions of people and bringing morality and peace to our planet before Christ returns to execute His final judgment. This false teaching is called postmillennialism. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first, and the genuine Christians who are still alive at the second coming will be changed from mortal to immortality. "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality" Resurrected Christians will then begin their rule with Christ for a thousand years. Remember: "Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years". The Bible clearly shows when the Millennium will begin, at the second coming of Christ! We have seen, from the Bible, that faithful Christians will rule on this earth as priests for a thousand years and later as kings. That Millennium of world peace is what we all look forward to. God is in charge! He means what He says. The time is coming when all nations will know the true God. All nations will come to the newly established world capital which is Jerusalem, where Jesus Christ will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. "Many people shall come and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths". They will desire knowledge of God's ways! The whole world will learn the true way to peace. Jesus Christ will govern all nations and, in reality, cause people to be peaceful. He shall judge between the nations, and correct many people; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. That is the Millennium we all desire. The record of human efforts has produced war, suffering and death. We are nearing the end of man's rule on earth. The time is growing short. True Christianity teaches the way of peace, love, happiness and godly prosperity. The Apostles of the first century looked forward to that way of life in the ultimate Millennium. The glorious Kingdom of God on earth will produce beauty and productivity the world has never known. Isaiah gives us this millennial vision: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Brethren, Let us increase our efforts to tell the good news of the gospel of Christ to as many as we can, that many shall have part in the first resurrection.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for this wonderful plan of reinstatement, use me to spread abroad the wonderful truth of salvation. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: Sowing and Reaping

BIBLE VERSE: Galatians 6:7, AKJV: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap.

EXPOSITION
As born again believers, we have received a free and a full salvation and we have been quickened and made alive by faith in Christ Jesus. We have been redeemed through His blood, redeemed from the curse of the law, redeemed from all iniquity, and bought with a price, the precious blood of Christ. Our salvation has nothing to do with what we have done, but it has everything to do with what Christ had done on our account, therefore the desire of our hearts should be to do only those things that are pleasing in the sight of God. The outworking of the new life that we received by faith in Christ, is set out clearly in the Word of God. We are to consider the needs of others in the spirit of gentleness. We are to bear one another's burdens and thereby fulfil the law of Christ. God had set a principle of sowing and reaping, such that each of us reaps a harvest of what we have sown in our lives. Whatever we choose to sow in our lives, whether for good or for evil, will bring forth the fruit of that choice. When we neglect our duty as God's children and fail to carry out His will in our lives, we will bring forth the fruit of that neglect. Those that sow sparingly will reap a meagre reward, while those that sow abundantly will bring forth plentifully; some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, and some even a hundredfold. Although this is a divine principle which is true in the lives of sinner and saint alike, this particular passage is speaking directly to those that are saved by grace through faith in Christ. But we must know that, any good works that are undertaken by means of our 'old man' are unacceptable to the Lord and can never honour His name. Any good actions or kindly deeds that are carried out in our original, fleshly sin nature which we received from the first Adam only profits the flesh and not the Spirit. If we are to truly grow in grace and mature in the faith, we are to do the good works that God has already prepared for us to do. There is no cost at all for us in salvation, for we were saved at Christ's expense. He did it all. However, if we choose to continue to become a true disciple of the Lord, then under the influence and power of the Holy Spirit, we are to abound in the good works which flows from above to us, and we shall reap a reward that shall not pass away. This takes effort and courage which only comes from the Spirit of God, but in so doing we are obeying the Lord as we press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. So let us keep on doing good, and let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. Brethren, may we learn the lesson of sowing and reaping in our lives and do all to the glory of God, for God is not mocked by His children who choose to ignore or neglect His will.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I pray that I may develop a giving heart and a generous spirit, so that all I do may bring glory to your name and for the good of others. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: Knowing Who Wisdom Is

BIBLE VERSE: Proverbs 8:22, AKJV: The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

FURTHER SCRIPTURES:
Proverbs 8:1-36, John 1:1-17, Genesis 1:3, Revelation 1:8

EXPOSITION
The book of Proverbs certainly gives us wisdom about day to day life, but we must read it primarily as a book about Wisdom himself who is the Lord Christ Jesus. This is very certain and especially true of Proverbs chapter 8, one of the most important texts that reveals Christ as Wisdom. Knowing the Lord Jesus who is the True Wisdom, helps us to walk in wisdom daily. Wisdom is the one whom the Father possessed at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old, who ages ago was begotten before the beginning of the earth. Wisdom was brought forth when there were no depths, before the mountains and the hills had been shaped and before the LORD had made the earth with its fields. The Lord Christ Jesus is the image of the Father, the exact representation of His being. And if this is true of the Son, then it is also true of Wisdom. Wisdom reveals the Father, for Wisdom is the Son, the image and only begotten of the Father. Wisdom was present with God in the act of creation; Wisdom was beside the Father like a master workman, the architect of creation and was daily His delight, rejoicing before Him always. This means that, Wisdom is the pattern for all creation, because creation is ordered toward the image of God, who is Christ Jesus. We must also know that Christ Jesus, who is Wisdom, is not only the pattern for creation but also the pattern of redemption. The begotten Son is the Wisdom of the Father. This same divine Wisdom, who is the pattern and the end goal of all creation is also the pattern and goal of redemption in His penal substitutionary death by sharing His blood even before the foundation of our world, for the redemption of the elects of God, both spirit beings and humanity. The Word of God in the flesh, truly is Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Scriptures show us who Wisdom is and asks us to follow her voice. For Christ Jesus is the Wisdom of God. Let us continue to yearn to know Christ and to follow Him. To follow Jesus is to fear the LORD, by believing the report about His Son, which is the beginning and end of wisdom.
Brethren, may we trust the Lord with all our heart and not rely on our own understanding but rather pursue after godly wisdom who is Christ, so that we may be wise in our judgement, prudent in our behaviour, and show forth spiritual understanding and godly discretion, not only in what we say and do but in all that we are, to His praise and glory.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You that in Christ dwells all the wisdom of the Godhead bodily, and I am part of His spiritual Body and one with Him by faith. To His praise and glory, AMEN.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY (FIVE SUPERNATURAL SUNDAYS)

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: The Angelic Beings

BIBLE VERSE: Psalms 104:4, AKJV, Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire.

FURTHER SCRIPTURES: Rev 12:7, Isaiah 14:12, Daniel 8:16, Luke 1:19, Luke 1:26, Psalms 78:49.

EXPOSITION
Angels have always been a mystery to people on the earth. Most people believe that, there are spirit beings each having a mind of greater capacity and ability than human. We must know and believe with surety that angels exist and these wonderful creatures were created by God even prior to the creation of the physical matter and the physical universe. Angels were holy and faithfully devoted to God even before the foundations of the earth were being laid, but this changed when some through the influence of the Old serpent rebelled against God. For this reason, we must view angels in two categories. That is, the redeemed (holy or pure) and the unredeemed (fallen) angels. So therefore, true angels are redeemed celestial beings or spirits. These are angels who remained faithful to God and His divine counsel. It must be known that before the fall of some angels, God from eternity has been a family. The Word of God who in that age was called Wisdom, was chosen by the Father that all creation must pattern after Him. He became the express image of God even before the foundation of our world. All the angelic beings were to pattern after Wisdom who was the delight and the beloved of the Father. It is well known that God assigns angels responsibilities, but God created within them minds; with power to think, to reason, to make choices and decisions! Above all this uniqueness, there is one super important quality that God does not create instantly, but rather, it needs to be inherited. That is, the same perfect, holy, and righteous character inherent in both God and the Word. This perfect character must be developed and must be instilled by the Holy God who, only, has such righteous character to endow. Through Wisdom(The Word of God) some angels attained sonship and some also became great as morning stars. By profession, angels were created to aid in the work of creating, governing and managing what was to be created. Some angels became ministers, agents, and helpers in God’s creation. They were created as servants of the living God. Angels are invisible, immortal spirit beings with power and knowledge superior to humans. The holy angels still serve a great function in carrying out God’s purpose for humanity. God has angels specifically assigned to supervise and protect his Church throughout all of its history. He has angels who continually walk through the earth to observe and report back to him the overall conditions on earth. The Bible mentions some angels of high rank: Lucifer, who was an anointed cherub and a son of the morning; Gabriel, who appeared to Daniel on two occasions, to Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist and later to Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ; and third, Michael, called one of the chief princes and whom Jude identifies as an archangel.
Brethren, the good news is that, God has a great purpose for mankind through Christ Jesus. And there are billions holy and righteous angels who are agents to minister to and help in the righteous character development of the heirs of salvation.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, Let Your holy angels be dispatched to clear the path ahead of obstacles, open doors of opportunity, and provide divine guidance for me. In jesus' name, Amen.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: Reinstatement Of Man

BIBLE VERSE: Psalms 8:6, KJV: Thou made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet

FURTHER SCRIPTURES:
Genesis 1:26-29, Psalms 8:4-6, Hebrews 2:6-9

EXPOSITION
The astonishing reality is that, God created man in His own image and likeness; and God entrusted the dominion of the whole earth into the hands of man. Man received both honour and glory from the hands of His Maker and was endowed with a nature like unto God's own nature, a spirit and life. The destiny of man was glorious in the beginning, and many privileges were bestowed onto this special race who were made in the image and likeness of God. God never gave angels the kind of dominion man originally had over the earth. It is man to whom dominion of the world was given, but it was man who forfeited his God-given reins of power to a fallen angel through disobedience, which has placed man under the rule of flesh and the dominion of Satan. When Adam sinned the icy fingers of death and destruction touched every member of the human race. Yet God in His grace, planned and purposed to once again establish man's dominion over the earth, through the perfect Man, Christ Jesus by the sacrifice of His life. Before God's plan for the earth could be completed, fallen man had to be redeemed through the sacrificial death and life-giving resurrection of His only begotten Son. And so it was through Jesus Christ, the eternal Son and perfect Man that God spoke His full and final message to humanity. His death paid the price for our sins. He rose from the dead and became the first begotten from the dead, the federal Head of a new Creation, and is crowned with all honour and glory through time and into the eternal ages. All who have trusted in Christ for salvation will not only be reconciled back to God but also endowed with the same eternal privileges. The original work God had ordained for man must be carried out. Man was made in God's image to be His regent over the whole earth. Once man's redemption had been secured, he must once again take up his original position as God's representative on earth. Man had been given the directive to fill the earth and subdue it, to have dominion over all things under the firmament. Though God's original plan could not be completed through Adam, it is a plan that will be finally fulfilled through Christ. Brethren, the divine purpose for the world is that man, not angels, is to rule in the future. How we praise our heavenly Father that Christ was made a little lower than the angels so that by means of His sacrificial death, burial, and Resurrection, He should become the firstfruit of the dead, be crowned with honour and great glory, and have everything placed in subjection under His feet, so that by faith in Him we might have life and have it more abundantly, and to be reinstated into our original form to fulfill the divine plans and counsel of God.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am being conformed into Your image and likeness. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: The Blessed Hope!

BIBLE VERSE: 1 Cor 15:13, KJV: But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen.

FURTHER SCRIPTURES
Ezekiel 31, 1 Cor 15, Rev 2:11

EXPOSITION
Everything depends on retaining a firm hold on the doctrine of resurrection; for if this is no longer counts, all the others will lose their value and validity. For our justification and regeneration rest on the resurrection of Christ. And also our ultimate resurrection rests on the resurrection of Christ. If there is no resurrection, then the dead in Christ are gone forever. If there is no resurrection, then the whole Christian life is pitiful! If we don't have something beyond this life to look forward to, why then do we hassle with the problems in being a Christian? Resurrection is not just living again; it is living again in a new body based on our old body but perfectly suited for life in eternity. Christ was not the first one brought back from the dead, but He was the first one resurrected. God's eternal purpose through history; is that, in the dispensation of the fullness of time He might gather together all things through Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth and under the earth. We look forward to the time when all things are resolved in Christ Jesus and He presents it all to God the Father, giving glory to the God who authored this eternal plan. For now, God has granted a measure of rule and authority and power to men, to Satan, and even to death. After the resurrection, God will finally resolve all things according to His will. In raising Christ from the dead God has set in motion a chain of events that must culminate in the final destruction of death and hell and thus, God being once again, as in eternity past, ‘All in All'. Christians have the most wonderful and blessed hope. It is a hope that is based on scriptural facts, and the Word of God can never be broken. It is a future hope that is linked to the past, and a hope that starts and ends with the Lord Jesus Christ. This hope reminds us that because Christ is risen from the dead, we too shall rise. Because of His Resurrection we have an assurance that all those that trust in His name will also be resurrected. He has promised that all who die in the Lord shall never die but have the light of life, when we shall ever be with the Lord. The first-fruit of a tree is the precursor that more fruit will follow. He is the First-Fruit from the grave and His Resurrection is a pledge and a guarantee that the rest of the harvest will certainly follow. Brethren, Christ who has eternal life within Himself, became the perfect Son of Man and gave Himself as a willing sacrifice for the sin of the whole world, that He can break the power of sin and death in the life of all who trust in His name. His death paid the price for sin, but His Resurrection broke the power of sin and death forever in all who believe, and together we will live with Him in glory. Because He lives we too shall live.

PRAYER
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for this beautiful truth that Christ is the resurrected First-Fruit from the dead, for all who trust in Him. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

GOOD WORD OF GOD FROM REIGNERS SANCTUARY

PREACHER: Prophet Joshua Gyasi

THEME: There Is Life In The Blood

SCRIPTURE: Leviticus 17:11,NASB: For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.

EXPOSITION
Since ancient times, people eat or drink blood either as food, or often as a ritual or spiritual practice. The idea was that the one who consumes the blood receives the life of the being whose blood is shed. God strongly commanded that this should not be done in Israel, and that He would set His face against that person who eats blood. Thus, as a matter of practice, all animals that were butchered in Israel were drained of blood as much as possible. Life depends on blood, it is preserved by blood, and it is nourished by blood. When enough blood leaves a body, life also leaves the body. Blood makes atonement for one's life. Life is God's gift to man and life is in the blood. One life is sacrificed for another. When Adam sinned, it was the shedding of blood that covered his transgression. The leaves of a fig tree were not capable to make atonement for his sin. Only the blood of an innocent animal could cover sin until Christ would redeem mankind from sin and death through the shedding of His own blood. The life of every living creature is in the blood, and God gave Israel the sacrifices to make atonement for their soul; to atone for their life: "For it is the blood by reason of the life, that makes atonement." Atonement for sin and the gift of life that accompanies it, comes through the shed blood of a correct sacrifice, as written in God's Word. Just as the life of corruptible flesh is given by means of the blood, so the life of the incorruptible flesh is given by means of Christ blood. The clear picture of redemption which threads its way through Old Testament Scriptures, brings us to an understanding that we are all sinners bearing the penalty of death, and in need of a saviour. For without the shedding of Christ's blood there is no life, for the life is in the blood. It is by the life we have received through the blood of Christ that we, who were once far off, have come nigh unto God. It is by His life in the blood, we have boldness to enter the throne-room of God. He made peace with God on our account by the offering of Himself on the cross, to give us His life through His blood that cleanses us from all sin. Brethren, Christ been the perfect Man who had life in Himself died and rose from the grave, so that His life would become the life of all who believe in His name. God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that by His life through the shedding of His blood, we might receive eternal life. May we feed on Him in our hearts by faith with thanksgiving today and into the eternal ages to come.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your perfect plan of redemption, through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. I praise Your holy name forever and ever, AMEN.
