The King's Return: (#1083 - Elim)
"Your King Is Coming: End-Time Power, Prophecy & Spiritual Awakening"
Are you truly ready for the return of Jesus Christ? The signs are becoming undeniable — especially in the Middle East, where biblical prophecy is unfolding right before our eyes. In this powerful and timely episode, we take you deep into both Scripture and current events, shining a light on the spiritual condition of the Church and the urgency of the hour.
Centering on Ephesians 3:14–21, we unpack the astonishing truth that God is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” This is not just poetic language — it’s a divine reality. Yet, far too many believers are living as though they are powerless, confined by broken church systems, manipulative relationships, and the subtle suffocation of cultural compromise.
We examine how modern Christianity — especially in the UK — has been diluted. Entertainment, consumerism, and superficial social justice causes have replaced the bold, Spirit-filled gospel that once turned nations upside down. Instead of equipping spiritual warriors, many churches have produced believers who are more dependent on people than on God. This episode speaks to those who feel spiritually stuck, silenced, or dried out — and reminds them of the Holy Spirit power living inside.
In a time where prophetic signs — particularly in Israel, Gaza, and across the nations — are converging at a rapid pace, the question remains: Do you know Jesus Christ personally, or are you simply attending church? Religion cannot save you — only a deep, intimate relationship with the King of kings can.
You’ll be challenged to:
- Break free from spiritual manipulation and human dependency.
- Surround yourself with faith-filled, Bible-believing community.
- Ignite the fire within you and stand boldly for Christ.
- Reclaim your calling in a generation that desperately needs truth.
This episode also includes a communion service, inviting listeners to remember Christ’s sacrifice and reflect on the redemptive power of His blood. Whether you’re battling fear, facing manipulation, or just feeling spiritually dry — this conversation will reignite your spirit and awaken you to the unstoppable power of God working in you.
This is not just a message — it's a call to rise up. These are the last days, and your King is coming. Will you be ready?
Listen now — and step into your true identity as a radical, Spirit-filled follower of Jesus.

Welcome to Reverend Ben Cooper's podcast, where faith meets real life and occasionally drops its keys in the Jordan River. But don't worry, we've got spiritual floaties Before we jump in like Peter walking on water, but hopefully with better balance. We just want to say thank you Seriously for every prayer, every bit of encouragement and every donation that keeps this ministry going smoother than Moses parting the Red Sea on a good Wi-Fi day. If your Bible's looking lonely on the shelf next to a dusty teacup and some old takeout menus, don't worry. Reverend Ben's books are here to save the day, packed with encouragement, truth and stories that hit deeper than a parable. At 2am, check them out at rbchristianradionet. Yep, that was another totally holy plug. While you're there, catch up on all our podcast episodes ready whenever you are.

Leave us a review. It helps others find us and, trust me, we're much better than scrolling endless cat videos on YouTube, although, bless those little furballs and hey want to go the extra mile. Biblically and caffeinated. Click that cheeky little coffee cup on our site to buy me a coffee. Every cup fuels us to spread the good news, one glorious mug at a time. Even jesus would have loved a flat white before the sermon on the mount, probably.
Speaker 1:So once again, thank you for standing with us, praying with us and being part of this joyful, hope-filled, slightly j slightly Jesus-obsessed crew. We call family. You're listening to RB, Christian Radio, where faith doesn't just whisper softly from the pulpit, it sings claps and might just start a praise break in the biscuit aisle at Tesco. Now go grab that Bible, get your brew, maybe a slice of pizza yes, we said pizza and let's come to the table together. Spiritual hunger and pepperoni. Welcome Pizza Sparkles.
Speaker 2:Well, hello and welcome friends and family from far and near and far. You're tuned in to RB Christian Radio, where faith meets real life in every word. I'm your host, alex, and today I have got a lovely good friend of mine, reverend Ben Cooper. He'll be providing us some scriptures along the way today.

We have got loads of downloads and people from everywhere.
Speaker 2:As we open up to the world of God together, I'd like to invite you to take a deep breath, let go of the noise around you and let your heart tune in. We're about to dive into a scripture. The speech of truth brings comfort and challenge us to grow. The speech truth brings comfort and challenges us to grow. But first it's time to do a short prayer. Heavenly Father, thank you for this moment, for the chance to pause, reflect and open our heart to the word. Speak to us through the message today and now. Without further delay, let's pass over to Reverend Ben as he takes us into today's Bible reading and reflection. Get ready, because this is going to be. Bless you.
Speaker 3:God bless you. Thank you so much. Wherever you're joining us across the world, it's RB, christian Radio. May God bless you and strengthen you. Thank you, alex.
Speaker 3:Grab yourself a Bible and let's get straight into the Word of God. We're going to the book of Ephesians and, wherever you are, we want to get you into the Word of God and it's critical that we keep in the Word of God. We are going to the book of Ephesians, chapter three. Ephesians, chapter three. We're going to pick it up in verse 14. And we pray that wherever you are right now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, that you feel the love of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. You will feel his presence, his goodness, his mercy and the saving grace of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We are living in really powerful times. We've only got to see what's happening in Israel at this moment, in Iran, and everything that's going on. You know the Bible is extremely clear. You know the Bible is telling us right now get ready, because Jesus Christ is coming. He's the coming king. Are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ, because he is coming soon. There can't be many years left. We need to make sure that we're strong in the word. We've got to lead the crowd. We've got to stand strong on the scripture. We've got to trust the word of God. Whoever you are right now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, wherever you are capturing this service, it's really, really important that we just gather our thoughts and our hearts and our minds and we get into the word and just let the word of God just rest in your spirit. So, wherever you are, we thank you for joining us tonight. But we are living in the end days. We are living in the times of the coming king. Jesus Christ is returning. He is the king of kings and the Lord of lords and without further ado, let's get straight in.
Speaker 3:We're in the book of Ephesians, chapter three. We're going to pick it up in verse 14. And I love this scripture. You know this is great. You know Paul is a great, great writer. I will probably say Paul is the greatest writer the world has ever seen. You know there's some great expositors out there, there's some great biblical reasoners out there, but you know there are great theologians out there at this moment in time. But the greatest writer that ever walked this earth, it's got to be this, this chap, that we're looking in. You know the the writings of paul, the letters, the ephesians, everything that he has done. It is so powerful.
Speaker 3:So we want to gather your thoughts now. We want to bring you to the cross of calvary. We want to bring you to that place where we're completely relying on jesus christ because there is no other way to go. The Bible says he is the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. So we want to invite you now, as we turn open the word of God.
Speaker 3:Let's put our eyes straight on Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 14, and it says For this reason, I kneel before the Father, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in your innermost being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and deep is the love of Christ and to know that, this love that surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled to the full measure of his glory and to the glory of God, this is the era that we want to just hang around in, if you're with us at this moment in time. We want to go to verse 20. And we want to encourage you right now just to put your holy eyes on there. You know verse 20, it says Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or able. There is a power that is at work in your life and that power is the Holy Spirit, and we want to encourage you tonight to seek the Father's face, because when you look at those scriptures that we're in, when you look in the book of Ephesians, those great writings of Paul, when you look at that, it says Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. What is your dream, what is your vision, what is your hope? What are you looking for in life? What are you focusing on? At this moment in time, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is with you. The power of the Holy Spirit is in your life and we want to encourage you right now, wherever you are, to keep in the word of God, and as you look at the word and as you rest in the word and as you just press into the scripture. We want to encourage you to be Jesus followers wherever you are across this planet.
Speaker 3:The Bible is extremely clear and it says now to him, who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to his power now this takes every area of humanity away from us. It says according to his power, that is at work within us. There is a power and there is an anointing that is within you. There is the Holy Spirit. You got the free. Youing that is within you. There is the holy spirit. You got the free. You got the deity, the father, the son. The holy spirit, the power of god is resting in your spirit. You need to know that wherever you are across this earth, on this beautiful planet, on this beautiful earth, wherever you are, the fire of god and the presence of god and the holy spirit is with you. And we want to encourage you tonight to never give up in your focus, your vision and your dream, because there is an anointing over your life. You are blessed and highly favoured, you are wonderfully and you are fearfully made and the power of God is with you right now.
Speaker 3:But we want to encourage you. We want to encourage you to turn this word open. We want to encourage you to get into these scriptures. As we just study, as we look, as we reflect, let's just back up these scriptures a minute. Let's just back up. It says, for this reason, verse 14, for this reason, I kneel before the Father. From the whole family on earth derives its name. And it says I pray that out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in your innermost being. So there is a power within you, there is an anointing over you. The Holy Spirit is with you right now, wherever you are, whether you're commuting, whether you're at school, whether you you're at work.
Speaker 3:However, you are capturing this live stream broadcast. We want to tell you right now, in the mighty name of jesus christ, that the fire of god is sitting in you and over you. The love of jesus is with you right now. We want to encourage you to get in these scriptures. I love this scripture that we're in tonight. It says there uh, I pray that out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen you. The king is the one that's going to strengthen. The king is the one that's going to lead. The king is the one that's going to heal. It is the king. There is no one higher than the king of kings and the Lord of lords. We got earthly kings, you know. We got monarchies. We got all the things that are happening across the world at this moment in time. We got things happening in Israel like we never thought We've got war breaking out and if you don't capture the news, I want to encourage you right now to keep your eyes on Israel, what is happening amongst Israel and Iran and right out now in the Middle East. We want to encourage you right now to look at Israel, to study Israel and to see what is happening, because it's really, really important, because Israel is key to the second coming of Christ. You know everything is lining up.
Speaker 3:Where are you tonight? Where are you in your walk? Where are you in your life? What is happening in your life at this moment in time? Have you got people around you that are encouraging you? The people in your social groups? The people on your WhatsApps? The people that you socialize with? The people on your social media? The church people that you're with your family, your friends, your cultural colleagues, your life colleagues? You know people that you walk with. Are the people in your life, edifying your life. That is critical. Are the people in your life taking you to the cross of Calvary? Are the people in your life taking you to the cross of calvary? Are the people in your life strengthening you? Are the people praying for you? Who is in your life that you know without any shadow of any doubt? They are taking you to the cross of calvary and they will carry you. No matter what.
Speaker 3:You know, we are living in very powerful, very solid, very biblical days. You know, we are watching you. We are watching the world move to the Scriptures. We are watching this world dance to the drumbeat beat of the Holy Spirit. We are watching the Scriptures come alive. We are watching the power of the Word of God just reaching across this world. There is the glorious presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.
Speaker 3:Tonight I want to tell you something that you already know, but I just want to just put that back in your heart and your mind. Tonight there is a power that is working in your life. There is a power and there is an authority that is over you, bigger than your emotions, bigger than your fears, bigger than your doubts, bigger than any enemy in your life. God is greater than any enemy. God is greater than anything, you know. If you are worried about history, if you are worried about present, if you're worried about the future, do not worry because the God that you serve, the God of Israel, the father of Isaac, jacob and Abraham, the God of all gods, the king above all kings, the great I am the God that you serve. He is with you right now. You have the fire of God, you have the presence of the Holy Spirit and as we come back to these scriptures and as we look at these scriptures, they are so powerful. It says I pray that, out of his glorious riches, he may strengthen you through power that sits in your heart, your mind, your body, your soul, the spirit in your innermost being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you've been rooted and established in love. You know the God of love that we serve and, as you move your eyes further down, as we gently just migrate through these scriptures here, may have power together with all the saints. I love that.
Speaker 3:It doesn't talk about the church. It doesn't talk about religion. It talks about the saints. It talks about the Bible-believing believers. It's not talking about religious people. It's not talking about those weak, woke church people. It's talking about those that are radical for Jesus.
Speaker 3:I want to make sure that I'm around radical Bible-believing believers. I don't want to be around churchgoers. I don't want to hang around the playground of church. I don't want to hang around. Church is boring. Church is finished. I want to hang around with people that know their God. I want to hang around with people that know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I want to make sure that I'm found in the company of brothers and sisters that know who they are in Christ Jesus, that they can stand alone. They're not interested in the crowd, they're not interested in what the world is doing, but they know their God and they know their King and they know that it's by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ that they are sanctified and they are on their way to glory. I don't want to hang around these weak, these situations. I'm tired of church. Church is boring.
Speaker 3:I want to see miracles. Do you want to see miracles in your life? Do you want to see the dead raised? Do you want to see the power of God working? Do you want to see the lame walking? Do you want to see the blind seeing. Do you want to hear that you've heard, that the deaf are hearing? Do you want to see the power of the glory of God in your life? Do you want to be that radical Bible-believing believer or do we just want to stay weak and woke and just churchy people? Is there anybody out there on radio, on podcast, on live stream tonight that is willing to step outside of the crowd, get away from culture, get away from life itself and say do you know what?
Speaker 3:I am a Christian, I am a Bible-believing believer and I believe in the power of the Word of God. I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe that he is the coming King. I believe the Word of God is without error. I believe the Word of God is an absolute. I believe that His grace is so powerful. I believe that the devil is defeated. I believe that there was blood shed at the cross of Calvary for me. I believe that I'm filled with the Holy Spirit. I believe in creation. I believe in the glorious word of God.
Speaker 3:Is there anybody out there tonight that feels radical for Jesus? Is there anybody out there tonight that is hungry for the power of the word of God? Is there anyone out there tonight that is fed up to the back teeth of just life, of this humdrum, boring situations that happen time and time and time again. Do you want to see the dead raised? Do you want to see the glory and the power? Do you realize that there is a power in your life that no one can take away? Do you realize that you're grafted in Verse 20?
Speaker 3:Says now to him who is able, when you study this text, if we just spend a moment in verse 20 of Ephesians, chapter 3, now to him, who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or we can imagine, according to the power that is at work within us when you take a moment and you think about the power of that text. Now to him who is this him? We know who this him is and his name is Jesus. He is the creator of heaven and earth. He is the God above all gods. He is the king above all kings. He is the great I am. He is the seven I ams. He is the one that was sitting around with Moses at that time. And Moses says who is sending us? I'm not leaving this place till I know who is sending us. And God said I am that I am. You know the God that you serve is the great I am. He is worthy of all praise. Do you realize that there is power living within you? Do you realize the God that you serve can break and shatter every area of the devil's work? Do you realize that the demonic forces that are out there, god can just wipe them off the face of the earth? Do you realize to him who is able? Do we realize that God is able?
Speaker 3:You know, we get caught in weak, woke pink church. We get caught in this church that is just so weak. The church has no power, no more in the UK. It is lacking so much. It is lacking the word, it is lacking the authority. It is lacking leaders that will lead with the sword of the Spirit. We want leaders in the church that will lead with the gospel of truth. We want leaders in the church that will lead with the sword of the Spirit. We want leaders that will stand up and preach the gospel of jesus christ. We need leaders that know who they are in christ jesus, not not knowing who they are in their own self-worth. We need leaders to know that jesus christ is the redeeming king. We need leaders that will preach the gospel of jesus christ. We need leaders that will stand up in this nation, that will come and stand and preach the gospel of truth.
Speaker 3:You know, when you look at the church in the UK, what is the church in the UK actually doing? Yeah, I'm putting it out there again tonight, I'm in trouble. Thank you, jesus, in the name of Jesus Christ, but what is the church actually doing? It's more interested in social justice. It's more interested in lattes, cappuccinos, croissants and everything like that at the end of the service.
Speaker 3:And I'm referring to the leaders. I'm referring to the leaders, not the congregations. There are many in congregations right now that are hungry for the word of God. There are many people in churches mega churches, large churches that are hungry for the word and you're not getting the word. You've got to get the word in your spirit. You know you don't need a pastor, you don't need a leader in your life. You don't need the mega church. You don't need church in your life. You need Jesus, because there is power in the name of Jesus. There is no power in the church in the UK. It is a business, it is a charitable organization.
Speaker 3:I want to make sure that the word of god, when god calls me off this earth. I want to make sure that when I get to glory, whenever I die, whenever I leave this earth, I want jesus christ. When I get upstairs into that beautiful place, I want god to say well done, good and faithful servant. You know I don't want to get there and he says away from me, I don't know you, brother and sister, I gotta encourage you to be brothers and sisters of the word and the church is extremely weak. We have never been in a situation in the UK where we are lacking sound doctrine of the word of God.
Speaker 3:We've got educators Sunday morning, you can go to lots of churches and you can watch a great West End show, but I don't want to watch a show. I want to feel the power of Jesus Christ. I don't want to go and watch actors and actresses. I want to feel the power of the Holy Spirit. I want to know that Jesus Christ is speaking to me. I want to feel the power of his word. I don't want to get carried away by the rhythm of emotion and worship. I want to be spoken to by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I want to feel the word. I want to feel the power, I want to feel the glory of God. I want to feel that God is speaking right through the eaves of the church. I want God to shake this church. I want God to shake these walls, shake this foundation. You know, I'm so tired of what we have in the UK. We need preachers and leaders to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to stand up for the word, whoever you are and wherever you are.
Speaker 3:Right now I want to encourage you to get into the scripture, because the God that you serve is able. Never give up in your dreams. Never give up in your dreams. Don't rely on your pastors. Don't rely on me. Don't rely on me. Don't rely on this ministry. Don't rely on the church. Put't rely on me. Don't rely on me, don't rely on this ministry, don't rely on the church. Put everything you got in Jesus Christ. Trust in the word, trust in his presence. Get yourself in the scripture. Throw open the word of God.
Speaker 3:We're in the book of Ephesians, chapter three, and I want to read that bit again. I just want to read that really beautiful part of that text that Paul gives us in verse 20. Now to him, I want to tell you that the him is the one that went to the cross of Calvary. No pastor went to the cross. No leader went to the cross. They were playing golf on that day. They were on Netflix that day. They was just having a day off.
Speaker 3:Let me tell you this the only one that can save, and his name, is Jesus, because the gift of salvation comes from God, from the eternal God, the God of Israel. You know. You know that your Redeemer lives, and because he lives, you can face tomorrow. Never allow the church to stifle your calling, never allow the church to stop you, never allow any human being for you to grow. Put people in your life, find people in your life that will edify your life. Who is in your life at this moment that is encouraging you to follow Jesus? Who is in your life that is encouraging you to get in the word of God? Who is on your social network encouraging you, backing you when you put the scriptures on your social network? Who is in your life that is pulling you down? Who is drawing you away from jesus? What circumstances are before you? Who is in your life that is edifying your walk with christ? We are living in the second coming of jesus.
Speaker 3:The king is coming, the king of kings, and this is the hymn now. Now, to him, who is able, what I've just read out in the book of Ephesians, 3, verse 20. Now, to him who is able, I want to tell you that the king is able. I want to tell you that the king is more than able. I want to tell you that miracles happen. I want to tell you that the God of Israel is moving. When you look at Israel tonight, when you look at Iran and Israel, you know Israel is just a slightly bit smaller than Wales. When you think about the amount of people what is it? 10 million people that live in Israel when you think about the tininess of Israel but God is in Israel.
Speaker 3:We need to pray for Israel and tonight we're going to pray for Israel. Tonight we're going to pray for Israel and we're going to say Dear God, in the name of Jesus. We pray for the biblical Israel. We pray that the fire of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will break out of Israel. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray for the Middle East. We pray for all those that don't follow Jesus, that they will know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, we pray tonight that the fire of God will come out of Israel. We pray for peace. We pray for the love of God. We pray, dear God, that you will move, lord, through the power of the scripture, through Israel tonight, that lives will be saved, that lives will be set free. Because he lives we can face tomorrow, lord, do your great work through Israel.
Speaker 3:We pray for this government in the UK tonight, lord, open the eyes of this government, lord, that they will stand with Israel, the biblical Israel. Father, we are not interested in the political table tennis array that goes on within Israel. Lord, we stand with the biblical Israel. We believe that there is power in the glory of God. So tonight, lord, we pray for peace. We pray that the love of God will be right the way through Israel. But tonight, lord, we pray that you strengthen every one of us in the name of Jesus. That tonight will be the night where we decided I'm not going to listen to my plastic friends.
Speaker 3:I'm going to follow the king because the king is working in my life. I'm not going to allow culture to hold me. I'm not going to allow this workspace to rule me. I'm not going to allow the dictators and the narcissists and the controllers in my life stopping me getting to my destiny in the name of Jesus, because greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. And the fire of God, the spirit of God, is in you tonight. You know you are a born again, spirit filled Christian. God is with you. You are not a churchgoer. You are not just crossing onto this radio station by chance. You are not listening to this podcast by chance. You are not dropping onto this broadcast right now, this live stream, by chance. God has you and he has a plan for your life. And let me tell you this you are saved, you are born again. The Bible is so beautiful. I love Jesus with all of my heart. I love the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. I thank God for his word, I thank God for his redeeming power, I thank God for his grace.
Speaker 3:But as we are in these scriptures tonight and we're coming to the table in around about a few minutes time and I want to encourage you to get into the scripture because Jesus is coming, do you know Jesus Christ is coming, do you realize the king is coming, that king that we are reading about, that king that went to the cross, that king that had a crown of thorns. That king that carried are reading about that king that went to the cross, that king that had a crown of thorns. That king that carried his cross certain distance and then Simon took over that carrying it. That king that took the whipping. That king that got beat. That king that was stripped bare. That king that was spat upon, that king that was beaten black and blue. That king is coming back for you and me. That king is coming back because he loves you.
Speaker 3:Do you realize that there is the power of love in your life? Do you realize the enemy cannot take you out of this world? Do you realize that there is a hedge of fire around your life? Do you realize that you are sealed with the Holy Spirit and there is power in your life because God is with you? God is with you. God says to Moses in the Old Testament I will be an enemy to your enemies. If you've got enemies in your life and you know what I'm saying if you've got people in your life that are trying to tear you down, that are slippery, got people in your life that are trying to tear you down, that are slippery, that are dogs and pigs and snakes.
Speaker 3:Let me tell you this Don't hang around in the pigsty anymore. Look at the prodigal son. He stood and he stayed too long in the pigsty. Don't stay hanging around with pigs. Don't dine with pigs. You know, understand who you are in God. Get in the scripture. Get out of the pigsty of life. Do not be dictated to, do not be controlled by pastors and leaders and bishops and church. Do not be controlled by family. Do not be controlled by culture. Do not be controlled by the religious network. Do not be controlled by business and education. Do not allow the controlling mechanism that is in the UK. You realize who you are, that the kingdom of God is within you and who the sun sets free is free.
Speaker 3:Indeed, we're coming to the table in just a few moments. We've got about six minutes before we come to the table and we break bread together and we want to invite you, wherever you are, to grab yourself some bread and some wine, and wherever you go to church, you should be taking bread and wine at every service. There is no excuse. Every time there are human beings in this church, every time we are online, we break bread and we take it a cup, because it is scripture and Jesus Christ told us as often as you come together, do this in my name. It doesn't matter how big the church is. It doesn't matter how small the church is. It is not that difficult to break bread and to take it a cup.
Speaker 3:I need to tell you right now that Jesus Christ is coming back for you. I need to tell you tonight that the King is living inside of you. You've got power living inside of you. Do not coil back because of history. Do not coil back because of history. Do not coil back because of the fear of the unknown. Do not coil back because of people around you. Do not coil back because of the uncertainty. Do not coil back because you're fearful of what, if maybe, buts the possibles. Realize who you are.
Speaker 3:The Bible tells us. It is faith. Now. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Now. That is in Hebrews 11, verse 1.
Speaker 3:If you've got a Bible, turn to a Bible. But we want to hold this a minute. If you need a Bible, please message into the studio. You can capture us on rbchristianradionet. If you need a Bible, we will get you a Bible. We will pay for the Bible, the postage and the packaging. Just give us your details and we will get you a Bible wherever you are across the world.
Speaker 3:Sisters and brothers, turn to Hebrews 11, verse 1. Now faith, now faith. Now faith is the evidence. Now, faith is the evidence. Now faith is the substance. Now faith is because faith is now faith is the evidence of things not seen.
Speaker 3:What is faith? Faith is this invisible glue. Faith is this invisible substance. Faith is this trust in god. Faith is this hope? I believe, that's what I say. I believe in the word, but, as I believe, I've got to tell you now that the flesh me, the flesh me, will go. Ben, do you really believe in the word, are you sure?
Speaker 3:So there is a battle. The greatest battle sometimes that we have is within our mind, our mindset, our understanding. You've got to be careful who you walk with, who you live with, who you run with, who you stand with, because they will influence your mind. And do not be indoctrinated by devil worshippers. Do not hang around devil worshippers. It is better to stand alone and to stand in the word of God and to be covered in the blood of Jesus and to be in a crowd full of devil worshippers and leading you straight to the gates of hell. Let me tell you this heaven is real and hell is real and Jesus Christ is the coming king.
Speaker 3:Realize who you are. You know there are many of us. There are many people in churches, there are many people in pulpits and in ministries that don't realize who they are because we have, you have, we have been controlled by work, by life, by culture, by family, by church, and we have lost our identity in everything around us. But God is telling you tonight, in everything around us. But God is telling you tonight come on, ben, step out in faith. Come on, sister and brother, step out. Realize who is living inside of you. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. Now.
Speaker 3:Ephesians, chapter three, verse 20, what does it say? We read that earlier on. It says now to him who is able. He is able beyond your mind, your concept, beyond your thinking. He is beyond your cognitive processing. He is beyond the natural realm of life. He is beyond all things because he created the heavens and the earth. He put the first star into the universe. He is outside of time. He creates time. Time is in his hands. You know the acceleration of space, the acceleration of light. God holds that within his hands. Light is not on the other side of his hands, you know. Power is not on the other side of his hands. Everything, he holds, everything in his hands. How big is this God that we serve? He is faster than light.
Speaker 3:I nearly said a Superman quote then, alex, he's faster than a speeding bullet. I could say that, but I better not. We're coming to the table in just a moment, but let me just emphasize this at this moment this God that you serve, this king that you walk with, this great I am, his hands are holding time itself. Nothing escapes him. Now to him, who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine.
Speaker 3:The issue is we have stopped imagining because we have allowed people to hold us down, we have allowed people to crush our dreams, we have allowed people to crush our imagination, we have allowed society, we have allowed culture, we have allowed work, family. We have allowed so much to stifle our vision and our dream. And we're more worried about what people may say, what pastor says, what the world says, rather than what does jesus say. Jesus says all things are possible to those who believe. Without further ado, we're coming to the table.
Speaker 3:We just have a couple of moments and we're going to come to the table and we want to invite you, wherever you are across this world, to grab yourself some bread and to grab yourself a bit of grape juice. And we want to tell you tonight that god is with you wherever. Wherever you are on this planet, wherever you are walking on this terra firma. The God that put the stars in the heaven loves you. The God that hung the sun in the sky above us loves you. The God that got the moon and spoke the moon out of his very breath. The God that got every grain of sand around the globe and placed it in every area of life. The God that knows every tree, in every area of every city, of every nation, of every field, city of every nation, of every field. The God that knows every raindrop. The God that knows every fish, every mammal, every area of animal life. The God that created the tiny, tiny, smallest of animals beyond the human eye, those tiny, tiny molecules that we can't see. The God that created oxygen. The God that created everything loves you, god loves you.
Speaker 3:So, when we look at our lives and we analyze and we reflect. And I think, ben, what am I worried about All these people around me? What am I worried about the God that I serve? He knows every grain of sand across this earth. The God that I serve makes every star twinkle in the heavens above. The God that I serve holds time in his hands.
Speaker 3:The God that I serve came down the staircase of life 14 generations. The invisible God came down. And when he came down the staircase of life, 14 generations, the invisible god came down. And when he came down, 14 generations. And he stepped outside of the dressing room of mary's womb and he was pretended to the world as the living word, and the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. They said what name are we going to give him? Emmanuel, god with us. Do you know? God's with you? Time don't permit. Let's break bread, father, in the name of Jesus, as we come to the table and as we have the Lord's Prayer right now. Father, I pray as we listen to the Lord's Prayer. Carry us in the name of Jesus, amen.
Speaker 4:I invite you to say the Lord's prayer with me, our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever.
Speaker 3:Amen he is the king of kings and he is the Lord of Lords. He is the great I am and we want to encourage you to come to the Passover table. We want to encourage you right now, and come to the Passover table as we break bread, as the Bible says. As often, as you come together and as you gather together, do this in remembrance of me. So, father, as we gather as brothers and sisters across the world, we're not gathering as weak, woke brothers and sisters across the world. We're not gathering as weak, woke brothers and sisters. We're gathering as warriors. We're gathering as warriors of the Word of God. We're gathering as the saints. We're gathering. We are healed. We are gathering in healing. We are gathering in freedom. We are gathering right now, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, as we are scattered across this beautiful earth, we worship you as the coming King, we worship you as our Father, we worship you as the great I Am, and the Spirit of God is with you tonight, wherever you are, the Spirit of God is with you. Tonight, father, we thank you for this bread that symbolizes the body of Christ and tonight, lord, I thank you for what you've done in my life. I thank you for salvation. I thank you that you saved a wretch like me, that you've given me a hope and a future. Lord, if you can save me, if you can give me new life, how much more can Jesus do for you? If God can do it for me, how much more can he do it for you? There's always hope. There's always hope. Don't look at the people in your life. Look at the God that is above all things. Don't look at the sickness. Look at the healer. Don't look at the God that is above all things. Don't look at the sickness. Look at the healer. Don't look at the fear. Look at the love of God. Don't look at the doubt. Look at the king of glory. Don't look at the church. Look at the king, above all kings. Don't look at me. Don't look at pastors. Don't look at any church. Look at the king of Kings and tell the God that you serve. I love you Jesus, I love you Father.
Speaker 3:I'm not frightened to tell the world that I'm a Jesus follower. I'm not frightened to tell the world that I'm a braggadocious, radical, bible-believing believer. I'm not frightened to tell the world tonight Jesus, you're my Saviour and I love you Jesus. I love you, jesus and I worship you, god, and as I break this bread, as I break this bread, I say thank you, father, that you sent your son, you sent the king, to save a wretch like me.
Speaker 3:I thank you, lord, that my sins are now to the cross of Calvary. The blood of Jesus is over us tonight. You have made it. You have made it Shout hallelujah wherever you are. You have made it. You are free. No one will ever harm you again, no one will ever control you again, no one will get a hold of you again. The King is about to do amazing things in your life. So let's get to the cross, father. We come to the cross tonight and, father, we just say hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to God, praise be to the King in the highest heavens above.
Speaker 3:Thank you, lord, that we can stand alone, that we're not relying on the social network crowd, we're not relying on the WhatsApp group, we're not relying on the fake name it and claim it. We're relying on the word and we stand and we lock shields of faith. Let me tell you this Don't lock shields with the enemy. Don't lock arms with the enemy enemy. Don't lock arms with the enemy. Locked shields of faith with brothers and sisters know who they are in god born again.
Speaker 3:Spirit filled, radical, bible believing believers that are not frightened on their social network to say I love jesus christ don't be found unequally yoked. So tonight, lord, bless this bread as we break it in the name of Jesus, as it symbolizes the body of Christ. Amen. The angels cry out. The angels cry out holy, holy, holy is the Lord. Shout that tonight. Come on, let's get a rhythm going.
Speaker 3:Wherever you are in your house, if you're commuting, wherever you are right now, shout it out Holy, holy, holy is the Lord most worthy of all praise. Tell your house tonight holy, holy is the Lord most worthy of all praise. Tell your work colleagues I love Jesus. Tell the devil in your life I love Jesus. Tell those that are pulling you down I love Jesus. I'm sealed with the blood of Christ. No weapon forged against me shall prosper.
Speaker 3:The Bible says touch not nine anointed. Do you realize? No one can take you off this earth Until the King takes you. Jesus loves you, father. We come to the cup and as we take of this cup the redemption cup, we are redeemed. Tell the world that you're redeemed. Tell the devil that you're redeemed. Tell sickness you're redeemed. Tell your pastor that he's weak and feeble. I'm redeemed. Tell the leaders in your life that are not leading you correctly I'm redeemed.
Speaker 3:Tell the church I'm standing up for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Tell your family I am a Bible believing believer. I am born again. I am born again. My name is stamped in the Lamb's book of life. The King is coming back for me. The King of glory and Father, I thank you for the blood that was shed at Calvary. Thank you for cleansing me from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. Come, holy Spirit. Everyone watching, everyone listening On radio, on podcast, on live stream.

The fire of God is over you. The anointing of the Holy Spirit is in your life. Tell the world, wherever you are, I'm saved. Saved, I'm washed in the blood of jesus. No weapon forged against me shall prosper. The devil is a liar. I know my god and I know my king, and as we've been in the book of ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20. Now to him, who is able Listen to this music that is just in the background?
Speaker 3:Listen what it says. There's a king and he's calling you. He's calling you out of the dungeon of the life that you are living in. He's calling you out of the hell hole of the life that you're walking in. He's calling you out tonight and he's saying trust me, trust me, ben Come, jesus, come. Listen to these words. We've been waiting too long. He's calling you out of the dungeon. He's breaking you out of that narcissistic, controlling situation. He's calling you out of that dark place. He's stretching down his right hand tonight and he's pulling you out of the slimy pit. He's got you. You're marked, you're sealed. It's impossible to foul when you've got the king holding you. It's impossible to foul when you're washed in the blood of Jesus. It's impossible to foul when you know you're God.
Speaker 3:Don't worry about church, forget about Sunday mornings, forget about church days and worship the King when you're at school. Worship the King when you're washing up. Worship the King when you're doing a Freddie Mercury. When you're running the Hoover around your house. Worship the King when you're driving. Worship the King.

Speaker 3:The King is in the house. The King is in the house. The king is in your life. The great I am. He is with you in the storm, and you know what. He's the god that created all things. The storm that you are going through right now, the storm that is pushing you, the storm that seems to be controlling you, cannot control you Because there is a God that controls the wind in that storm. There is a God that controls the waves in that storm, there is a God that is controlling every area of life.
Speaker 3:And that Jesus that was in the boat in the scripture in yesterday, that stood up and he said to the disciples O ye, of little faith. He said quiet, be still. The God that sent his son through the living word of God is telling your storm to be quiet. The God that took his son to the cross is telling your enemies to be quiet. The God that took his son to the cross is telling your enemies get ready, because I'm taking you out. The God that is looking at your enemies eyeball to eyeball now is saying don't you touch my child anymore. You can't get near that brother and that sister anymore. The God that you serve is healing you now of sickness and disease. The God of all salvation is speaking to your spirit. God is saying don't live by your emotions, don't live by your past. Don't live by your cultural tread, don't live by your educational understanding. Don't live by the money in your pocket. Don't live by your educational understanding. Don't live by the money in your pocket. Don't live by what the world is saying. Live by the word. When I die and there's a tombstone, I want it to say he told the world to follow Jesus.
