Adding On

Believers are meant to be used to expand the kingdom. This expansion can happen in numerous ways. More people can become believers. This is an exciting option because darkness is dispelled. What a wonderful time it is to see a person make such a transformation! But there is anther way to expand the kingdom. We find it in Genesis.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Humans are to rule the earth. We are to fill the earth up. And we are to rule over the life on the ground, in the water, and in the air. We are to be blessed in all our labor, with our fields and flocks and herds, and everything we put our hand to multiplying and being prosperous.

Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.store: or, dough, or, kneadingtroughs
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

We can see that we are definitely to be a blessed people. We are to add to the kingdom.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom rule here and be here. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now while it is called today Your overwhelming provision, that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Cleanse our hearts and minds of the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. Heal us in our bodies, minds, and hearts. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousand fold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides, unto thousands of thousands and beyond. Rise up, my King, and deliver as You always have. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You alone are our King! We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! In the name of YAH Yeshuah let these things come to pass. Amen.

We Can Know

Scripture is a wonderful source of good news for us! We can receive knowledge about our Father in them, and about His work. We are His work. Our lives are His work. We can find our way to deliverance from this present world, and even change it to what He has always planned. We know that what He has planned must come to pass. The scriptures plainly tell us these things.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.the unrighteous…: Heb. the man of iniquityabundantly…: Heb. multiply to pardon
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

This scripture details the need for mankind to turn away from what they do and what they think, and return to YAH. This is the same message that our Messiah spoke to us, as He detailed the scriptures to us.

Matthew 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

This is also the message we see elsewhere in the scriptures.

Proverbs 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.health: Heb. medicine
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.with…: Heb. above all keeping

If we spend time with our Father, we can know right things, and we can pursue them in a good way. We can make His ways our ways. We can be like Him.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom be here. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now, while it is called today, Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. We call out to You to forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us, in our minds and in the minds of all. Create new hearts in Your people today, Father. Then we shall be healed. Deliver us from the evil here, and the stretching of Your words. Help us to get right thoughts and images in our hearts and minds. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold of all that is good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Rise up today, King of the universe, and deliver and redeem the lands of Your people. Expand their borders. Show us a sign for good that all men might know that You have done all these things. Send in now the $424,523,962.53. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! We ask of You in the name YAH Yeshuah that these things would come to pass quickly. Amen.

More Than Us

In life there are so many opportunities to spend our time. Many times it would appear that there are more things to choose from than time to do them.

Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

In the end, we can either just let things happen or we can choose to make certain things happen. Trying to determine what the real possibilities are can help to limit the choices. In the end, there can be great comfort from simply asking our Father for wisdom in what to choose. The comfort is YAH promises to give us wisdom.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

So, if we are feeling overwhelmed negatively, we need only quiet ourselves and spend time with our Father. He will get us on the path He wants us to travel. When we ask, He will answer.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom be here. Let Your will be done in this earth as it is in heaven. Send us now, while it is called today, Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us that we have and others have. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You, Your love toward us, and Your mighty works. Create new hearts and minds in us, and heal us that we might be healed. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Release the bondage that holds Your people. Give unto us lands, resources, waters, foods, milk, honey, silver rings, gold, friendships, and prosperity according to what You have promised. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 with wisdom, that Your kingdom work might go forward. You are King! Praise YAH! WE ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! In the name YAH Yeshuah let all these things be accomplished quickly. Amen.

This Sabbath I had opportunity to learn that resting does not always mean doing nothing. Sometimes it means serving others. It was a chance in a small way to experience a certain scripture first hand.

Psalms 103:7 Yah showed His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the nam YAH! Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Let Your kingdom be here. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. Restore one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Heal us from the inside out. Deliver us from the evil here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshua. We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your nam YAH! Amen.

Changing For The Good

Our Father created everything! This morning as I look out into my back yard, I can see His handiwork. It is truly a beautiful sight to see. We serve a God who knows all things and created all things. Interestingly enough He created us to be like Him.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

As near as I can discern, we have a similar appearance to God. He gave us rulership here. And apparently this universe that He created operates the same way that it was created, by thoughts leading to speaking leading to manifestation here. This patter was set by our Father, and this is the very thing that Moses said and Paul quoted.

Romans 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

And our Messiah lived it, and when questioned repeated what Moses said.

Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

And the source of this power is our Father, YAH, who has always told us how to be and how to use this power. He told it to Joshua in a very emotional time.

Joshua 1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

So perhaps we are only just now learning the message that was from the beginning. We are to subdue this earth. People will be drawn to us if we have the love of the Father with His kindness. If we do, we will be able to do the works our Messiah did when He proclaimed the good news (gospel) of God. The kingdom is near and the King, YAH, is on our side.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise and bless the name YAH! Father, let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Let us be a source of provision in testimony to You. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. Heal our heats. Heal our minds. Give us strength to say what you say, and then to hear and do it. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore one thousandfold unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides of the physical things and the non-physical things. Help us to unity. Send in the $424,523,962.53. Show us a sign for good, that all men might know that You alone have done these things. Help us to be in Your image and likeness as You intended. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! We ask int he name above all names, YAH Yeshuah! Amen.

Thankful For Those Before

There are many people that have gone on before us. And many of them have done great things. We are in position to have so many examples of how to live life. There have been people of faith that have committed themselves to great changes, and they have changed. For me personally, there are a number of changes that I would like to be certain take place in my own life. In the midst of the need for change, I want to stay the course and change myself. Quite possibly there will be those that read this writing here that identify with the desire to change something in their own life. If that is you, then we are together. And the truth is, we can change. We have to be willing to change from within. And to do that we have to be determined to do the work to change. The controlling piece of that is in our mind and speech. The good news, these can be renewed as well.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We see here that the whole body can be changed by the mind being transformed. We transform the mind by changing what it spends time thinking about, because that is what is in the mind. Left to itself, it runs around doing whatever, like the heart. But we can direct it by controlling the inputs.

Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This morning for the first time I saw that this verse is saying that the Messiah is what Moses was talking about. Verse 5 points out Moses, and the verses 6-7 are quoting Moses! This is an explanation of what Moses was saying about how the Law works because of the Messiah, not in opposition to work of the Messiah! Moses was telling us how we can use the spoken word of faith that already exists in our hearts (because of the Messiah) to speak this faith and have the wholeness we seek, both in the physical and the spiritual!

There are inspirational stories all around us, if we will just look for them. And there are inspirational stories in scripture.

Today, we can be thankful for those that have gone before us. They left a trail of breadcrumbs.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You! You alone are our King! Praise Your name, YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, as it is in heaven. Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You, and Your love for us. Reveal Your words to us, that we might speak them. Reveal Your actions to us, that we might do them. Let us serve You. Make us whole inside and outside. Send me the $424,523,962.53 for Your kingdom, and clear the path that it might come quickly. Deliver us from evil. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back that was good, and the more besides. Whether it be lands, possessions, monies, gold, silve, prescious gems, or any other good thing, loose them now from the grip of the enemy and send them speedily to Your people. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We asak all these things in Your name, Father, the name YAH! Let these all be so in the name of YAH Yeshuah! Amen.

Unity And Division

There are things that bring us together and things that tear us apart. This morning looking into the falling leaves in my back yard I have to question if this makes any sense. People seem to come to some understandings, which they then articulate, and they let those things cause them to separate from someone else. We know that God has a preference.

Psalms 133 A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

In the times of the Messiah, when he spoke, it caused the non-believers and the transgressors of the Law (sinners) to draw near to Him to hear what He had to say.

Luke 15:1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

If we can be more like our Messiah, we will draw people to the things we say and do. People are drawn to the truth that sets them free.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here. Send us today, even now, Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Please forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that trespass or transgress against us. Wipe away all thoughts or memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. We need a transformation in our hearts and minds to be more like You. Please do that, and heal us. Heal our bodies from sickness, disease, and frailty. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back of that which is good, in any way, and the more besides. We ask that You bring in lands, monies, precious metals and stones, substance, provisions, relationships, and even those things that are good that we do not know to ask. We strongly desire to see Your kingdom here. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! Amen. We also ask that You bring in the $424,523,962.53, and more besides. Amen.

Building Days

Today is the day that I have traditionally celebrated my birthday. And yet, I have come to realize that there may be some uncertainty in the relationship to time and its measurement. Under the Hebrew calendar, I was born on the last day of Hanukkah. All of this is very interesting to me. Today I want to focus on how we build our lives.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

And the ultimate build up is the building that takes place with relationship to time.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

From the beginning, our Father used days as a building tool. He used the solar system to establish that building. It only seems logical to follow after what He has placed there for us.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King! Praise the name YAH! let Your kingdom be here. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to others. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Heal us from the inside by wiping away all thoughts or memories of evil done to us or by us. Replace them with only thoughts and memories of You, Father, and Your great love toward us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore one thousandfold unto Your people all that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people of that which is good – relationships, lands, monies, gold, silver, and precious jewels and all that prospers – and the more besides. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name, YAH! Amen.

Doing The Impossible

A friend told me that there are moments when his greatest encouragement comes from watching those around him. There are people that face many challenges, and yet, they approach those challenges with a certain happiness, almost a joy. They believe that they are up to the challenge. This is encouraging for those who observe them for sure. And it makes me stop and think about how life is supposed to be conducted by each of us. Certainly, it is with faith.

Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

We should be able to wake up in this new world, perhaps. the things of this world are easily seen with our eyes. But maybe we are meant to be able to easily see the things of the will of the Father. It may seem like an odd question for a person that has been a believer for many years to ask, but I find myself pondering what it is we are to be about each day. Maybe that is the point. We are to spend time each day asking our Father what is next.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! You alone are our King! Bring Your kingdom here Father. Let Your will be done here just as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away the thoughts and memories of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. Heal us. Deliver us. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way that was good, and the more besides. Bring in the $424,523,962.53. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! Amen.

Comfort In Uncomfortable

It seems that most of my life I have sought certain types of comfort. Doing new things, problem solving, having a family, etc. – all these things have been a part of my wanting to do good and prosper. Yet within these things, I struggle in certain areas, and these struggles have almost become a type of comfort all their own. I suspect that this same thought will resonate with many of those reading here. Perhaps in my telling my story, I can help others to overcome their challenges as well.

One area that has been with me most of my life is disorder. If I am in a large space, it will eventually be filled with things in disarray. The odd thing is, as much as I do not like it, in some ways there is “comfort” in it. It is almost as if the empty space seems odd somehow. An important point to note is the clutter prevents success in some areas, especially for those around me. Scriptures say our Father wants to comfort us.

Isaiah 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

It is also true that somehow it is uncomfortable for me to work on straightening things out. As I consider this, I believe it is because in my minds eye I do not “see” a cleaned space. I see questions I cannot answer about papers and paperwork. As I write this I am trying to find comfort in solving this problem. Part of the issue is not having the right space to place things once organized. Also, I have ignored the truth about the clutter, and I have not addressed it verbally in a positive way. As I write further, I find myself talking to our Father out loud. Sometimes I stay in my head too much. I think our relationship with our Father is meant to be audible. In fact, our relationship with all creation is meant to be audible, I think, because that is how it came to be. Both speech and observation made the world. If we are in His image, like 3D holograms, then we too should use speech and observation. Somehow the discomfort of considering working on my messiness is diminishing. Is it possible that through speaking and observing we can change our very existence, both internally and around us? That is what I will begin to try today. I will post the results here within the week.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom be here with us. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven. Send us now Your overwhelming provision that it might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away thoughts and memories of evil done to us and evil done by us, and doubts. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You, Your mighty works and deeds, and Your Law. Teach us that we might walk uprightly with You. Help us to be beacons of light and not darkness. Heal up our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides, of relationships, lands, monies, waters, financial impact, precious stones and metals, gold, silver, food, and all other goods. Rise up today, my King, and help me to be as You desire. WE ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH! Amen.
