hello my friends welcome back to the morning 9:10 I hope you're ready today right now to get your mind aligned with the truth of God that really is one of our biggest goals everyday is it the way that we think in sync with what God thinks we want to be living out our lives according to his will and according to his view of reality because his view of reality is reality think about that for a moment
 and before we move ahead I want to just draw something to your attention many people here at the end of the year are looking for ways to make tax-deductible donations in a way that will benefit him xy's I understand all of that many Ministries like ours put out calls to action toward the end of the year inviting people to consider their nonprofit wanted to do that with not a needy person because I believe in not an easy person so much this is a 501 c 3 tax-exempt nonprofit and it is an opportunity for you is a believer in Christ to give a one-time or recurring gift to actual Christian tours in need these needs been fully vetted and at this point one hundred percent of what you give goes to the needs that you find at not a needy person. Right now we have a family a mother of three and a grandmother who have many expenses major surgeries things like that medical bills we have a family of two children and one on the way who had unexpected medical expenses
 if a woman who lost her job we have another young woman who struggle with bills just after her father has passed away and they're just all kinds of meat there's also are any need fund that you can give to a recurring basis. Only lasted use that money in a discretionary matter to help people who submitted their needs and I guarantee you every bit of this money is being handled with the utmost Integrity if you want to go to not a needy person. Org you can see all the needs that are currently there and understand how the program works are today we are continuing your studies looking at biblical teachings about joy and what it is and where it comes from today we're looking at Romans 15:13 and this is one of those prayers from the Bible where someone in the Bible one of the authors is expressing a prayer of their heart and how they pray for the readers and so is it since we are readers of this Romans chapter 15 we can consider that the Apostle Paul has prayed for us in this way but I think we
 how can use this as a model of how we can be praying for those people in our lives and for ourselves regarding these issues that Paul address its neck dirty he says may the god of Hope fill you with all joy and peace and believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you met up and in hope I don't know what you hear when you hear that verse what I hear it's just it's overwhelmingly massive request that Paul is making to the god of the universe he's wishing he's hoping that God will give them hope he will give them joy and peace and notice house has it in believing

 there's all kinds of joy and peace that flows out of that what you really believe it and I'm praying God will give you the money to understand and believe that today and noticed why Paul pray this he said so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope so friends when we have this kind of joy and peace and believing the Holy Spirit brings his power to bear on our lives and enable us to outbound with hope that's my desire for you that's my desire for myself my family everyone that I meet I want us as Believers in Jesus Christ to be the most hope-filled people on the planet into Express that as we Endeavor to live out our Christian Life here on planet Earth
