St. John 11, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead and what follows. All done for the Glory of God and to build faith in Jesus' disciples. Music later on the program from Brother Bruce Hall's Program Christmas 2019.

John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Paul speaks of an Experiment in II Corinthians 9 and Malachi 3 asks us to Prove God's Word. Just as having money allows us to buy things, having faith in God allows us to prove His Word is true. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Why is it better to give than to receive? Let's find out. In this Season of Giving, let's Prove God!

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Sister Bridget Williams sings "Through It All" Brother Kyle's Sermon preached in Georgia at Riverside Church.
I Samuel 22:1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. 2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

Wouldn't you look for a ship if you were lost on a desert island? Wouldn't you listen for travelers or a camel's sounds if you were on a dry desert and lost? Those are obvious, but some cases may not be so clear in this day and age. But there is always hope!

Years ago my pastor in Michigan told me that he sent to India to a preacher there for an anointed cloth for his grandson who had a growth on his leg. The cloth arrived by mail from India and they prayed and applied the cloth to the boy's leg. Right away there appeared a ring around the growth and in a few days the growth fell off the boy's leg. I had noticed great faith also in Jamaica when I went there later. A few years ago I became friends with Brother Samuel in India. Who asked me if I could hold Bible classes for him and several village pastor friends once a month by video call. This is part of the second lesson I helped with, on healing and prayer cloths.
Two songs are included, Prayer Bells of Heaven and Send the Light.
These brothers and sisters are in extreme poverty and are in need of help. I have the prayer cloths that we prayed over if there is a need beyond the needs I already know about.

Why is an area larger than most countries just call a City? 2 million square miles is about two thirds the size of the original 48 states of the USA. And that is the size of the Heavenly City John saw. Revelation 21: 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

I certainly want to see Jesus when I get to heaven, but even more than that I must see Jesus Exalted and Glorified, I want to see how the Father Honors His Son who has pleased Him Well!

Philippians 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love,being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
