PRAYER WITH TESS
FOR
JIM & YVONNE BARBUSH
January 31, 2004
Oh Father God, You know all things. How blessed I am to know that you know all things.
For Jim & for Yvonne, and where they are, I Thank You And Praise You Lord.
1. OIL AND WATER MIXED
a. Oil & Water. I just see oil and water. It’s just like there’s a sense that these two, other
than the supernatural mixing, cannot happen.
b. Shaking Things Up. I Thank You Lord, that you’re just really, even now, shaking
things up. I feel it’s almost as if I can see like the salad dressing being stirred up. Just
really being a mixture and bringing flavor.
c. Pouring Out The Holy Spirit. I Thank You And Praise You for everything coming in,
that You’re pouring out through Your Holy Spirit, through Jim and through Yvonne, into
this work, that You’re bringing forth this work has been a work of Your heart. I Thank
You And Praise You For That Lord
2. DOORS OPENING
a. Opening Doors. And now, I just see doors, I see so many doors that You are moving,
Lord, in such a powerful way to open doors and make invitation.
b. Invitations. Jim, I see things that are outside of what you’ve been doing happening –
Invitations. There are people who want to hear what you have to say. I feel like
you’re going to be invited to go to other places, even in this interim, to speak and to
share. I see you behind the pulpit and you’re teaching, you’re sharing, you’re
preaching, you’re pouring out, finally. And it may not be that it was accepted where
you were, but I feel like God has given you these outlets, that you can go, and you can
share, and you can teach. And I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that those invitations
are coming.

3. FAITHFUL IN A HARD PLACE
a. A Hard Place. Jim, I feel like God has had you in a place, that he’s really…It feels very
claustrophobic. It feels like the very air is being sucked out of you. I feel like there’s
been such a hard place that you’ve been placed.
b. Found Faithful. And God said, you know, I feel like God is saying in my heart that
“You have been found faithful son.
You have been found faithful.
And
I know that that cost you everything.
It was such a sacrifice to keep your mouth shut.”
c. Healing. And I feel it’s almost as if there’s been such a denying of you, or a casting
down of you, or a rejection of you. I feel it’s caused such a bruising of your heart.
And God is saying,
“He’s healing that and what is ahead of you, son, is far greater.”

4. THE BOX IS GONE BROTHER
a. Melt Down Done. You can…you know…you talk about blowing the box off…the doors
off the box…and the box is gone brother, because what He has for you, because
you allowed Him to melt you down in this time. I feel like…you know…it’s almost as if
He’s doubled your capacity. It’s almost as if there’s been an increase, because you’ve
been so squished in such a tight place, it’s caused you to just be such a man of increase
because of it. It’s almost as if…it’s almost as if there’s been…
I see this…like a car…they’ve got their foot on the brake, and they’re like revving the
gas like crazy, and the tires are just spinning, and there’s all this smoke and everything
coming out…but it’s like the power of this engine of what God has given you…and then
He’s going to take his foot off the brake and you’re just gonna go brother, like you
never knew that you had.
b. A Massive Engine. You have the engine. You have this massive engine. You have this
massive ability to bring forth God, but he’s had you like in this really tight place. And
He’s been imparting to you.
c. Snakes In The Box. But, at the same time, the enemy, I feel like, has really just been
taking advantage of the down time, where he’s just been…I don’t know…it’s almost
like…I feel like there’s been snakes in the box. It’s like…I look down and I see all these
vipers in the box…
d. A Faithful Son. Like it’s just been awful and I can’t even imagine how bad these last
couple of years have been to you to keep your mouth shut, but you’ve been faithful, Jim.
That’s…I think…
This is the first and foremost thing is that the Father says,
“You’ve been faithful son.”
You’ve been faithful to sit through that and allow Him to do this work and to ready
these people. You’ve been a sign and a wonder to them. There’s been something
about this whole thing that’s gonna make a whole lot of sense when the veil is pulled
back.
I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that you’ll give Jim eyes to see, give Yvonne
eyes to see what You’re doing, what You have been doing.

5. THE HARVEST IS COMING
a. You’ve Been Tortured. Jim, the word that comes to my mind is that I feel like
you’ve been tortured, like I don’t know what that is, but I’m going to just say
tortured, tormented, whatever that is…I don’t think there’s a mortal on this planet that
could really comprehend how much it has taken of you to be in this position.
b. You Have Sacrificed. You have sacrificed and the sacrifice is so pleasing to the Father,
that you were willing to put yourself, surrender yourself to this position, because He
asked that of you then.
c. The Incredible Coming Harvest. Now the harvest is coming in and the harvest is
incredible. You’re going to have freedom to speak. You’re going to have freedom to
go. I feel signs and wonders are going to flow from you like never before. I feel like
you’re going to breakforth in such a realm of confidence, and faith, and signs and
wonders, that God is going to move so mightily through you.
d. Heartache. I feel like there’s been such a heartache, even to see Yvonne flowing in the
freedom that she’s had. And knowing that that freedom was not yours, that freedom was
not given to you.
I just feel like the Father’s saying,
“Son, you haven’t understood”
e. You Understand The Sacrifice. But you understand the sacrifice that you had to make
to lay down everything before Him, and to be silent was the hardest thing. But the
sacrifice meant that the harvest could be great. It was like, you sowed your seed and now
you’re going to reap this bounty back.
f. Prepared Like A Sword. He’s been making you ready. He’s been preparing you.
There’s been a lot going on inside of you, Jim. There’s been a lot of downloads. There’s
been a lot of understanding. You’ve seen things in the spiritual realm during this time of
being cloistered and separated, and even in a righteous anger that you’ve seen, you’ve
been almost honed to this. I see this…you’ve been like a sword, you’re being prepared
like a sword. There’s been such a banging of the metal, such a hammer against the metal,
such a hot place, that you’ve just been melting. And there’s been such a sharpening
element going on that you’ve been honed into such a weapon against this spirit of
religion. Oh Lord, I Thank You And Praise You. I’ve never seen anything like this
before.
g. The Spirit Of Religion. I Thank You And Praise You Lord. There is such a wickedness
afoot in this spirit of religion, such a contaminating force, and I almost feel like
somebody’s poisoning the Bride. I feel like she’s laying out in a hospital bed, and
somebody’s piggybacked her “IV” with some sort of poison, and she’s…just like…in
some sort of comatose state,…and like…she’s just sort of glazed over.
And I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that You have made Jim ready, as a sword,
to go in there, scalpel, to go in there and cut away this cancerous garbage, this work
of the enemy. I Thank You And Praise You Lord.
h. A Heart Set Free. Jim, I just feel like the Father is saying,
“Son, I’m setting your heart free. I’m setting your heart free.”
Receive that Jim.

6. WHO IS THE ENEMY?
a. Building Muscle To Fight. I feel like, almost as if God has been, at times, the enemy…you
know…like it’s been really hard to tell what’s God and what’s the enemy
here…like…heck…fire…I can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys any more.
And I just feel like God is saying,
“Son, I am not your enemy.
I’ve allowed, I’ve allowed, I’ve allowed for things to happen,
only to put muscle on you to fight against this thing.”
b. THE IMPORTANT CONCERN. Because I’m going to tell you something, Jim.
1) A Giant, Religious Spirit. The thing that this is, is a giant that I couldn’t, I couldn’t
comprehend how big…you know…I have seen something like this as a big, black, dark
figure with red eyes before, but it’s far beyond a giant. A religious spirit is something
that’s so incredibly large, if you weren’t, if you didn’t go through this season of
sacrifice, Jim, you would’ve been destroyed by this thing. This was for your safety, this
was for your good.
If you had gone out there like Arnold Schwarzenegger, with a whole mess of muscle on
you from the Spirit of God, you can, you would be able to take on what this thing is and
what you’re called to.
But, if you went out there like someone who was so anemic and just so frail,
I feel the Father’s heart was like,
“Son, I saved you from…I saved you from…total destruction.
If I sent you out before you were made ready, I would’ve lost you.”
2) The Father’s Love. Everything in Him…I just feel the grieving in His heart, Jim, for you,
that He would not suffer loss of you. He so delights in you and He loves you so much. And
the thought of losing you, Jim, is everything to Him that He would not lose you, and that, if
He was to put you in a hard place, at least kept you. And He didn’t lose you.
3) A Son To Send. And I know, I feel like, the sense of the Father, knowing how bad this has
been for you, and the sacrifice has been so great, and the warfare has been so intense, but
He’s got a son, now, He can send out into that battlefield that won’t die.
4) Acquired Weapons. You’ve got weapons now, son, that you never had before. You didn’t
even know where you were capable of going with them or anything. I Thank You And Praise
You God that You’re setting Your son free from this. You’ve made him ready for the
seasons ahead.
5) Made A Warrior. He just wanted to make you a warrior. He just didn’t want you to get hurt.
It’s like a drill sergeant. I feel like He’s been saying all the hard stuff to you because He just
didn’t want you to die once you got out there.
6) A Life Saved. I Thank You And Praise You Lord that you are doing such a mighty work, and
I know, I know that you had to be hard on Jim, but just to save his life, to not lose him.
7) An Enemy Without Mercy. This enemy, Jim, will give you no mercy. There is no mercy in
the heart of this enemy, Jim. He will…you step out there, Jim, and if you’re not ready, he
will take you down just as soon as look at you. He wants to destroy, he wants to kill, he
wants to rob you, and there is no mercy in your enemy. He wouldn’t give you any of that.
8) The Huge Calling. What you have been called to, Jim, I can’t even fathom…the…this
thing looks like so huge, I can’t even put my eyes around what this thing is. This is not to
be treated lightly. This was not a walk through the park. This was not walking into
something that you could change the heart of people. It would’ve been easier to change the
flow of the riverbed than to do this if you were not made ready by the anointing of God.

7. YVONNE’S FREEDOM
a. Led By The Spirit. I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that you allowed Yvonne the
freedom to do what You had her to do. As she was being led by Your Spirit, she was
very sensitive not to go beyond what the sheep were able to understand, so that she
wouldn’t be sacrificed. But she was sensitive to know how much they could take, how
much they could be herded or trusted or yielded to her. Even during this season, they’ve
been seeing her heart, but she was worthy of being trusted. She brought something new
and something scary.
b. Building Relationship. And, I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that there was a
relationship that was being built here that was far more important than in ever
getting the fullness of the Spirit. There was something that had to be done about the
messengers that You were bringing to them and the trust that they could give and how
they could relax in Your presence and receive of Your Holy Spirit through its vessels.
They were so fragile but were being made ready for the outpouring of Your Holy Spirit.
And it wasn’t the people that were the enemy here, it was so much the enemy who was
trying to darken their minds, lead them astray, get them all caught up in things that they
shouldn’t have been caught up in, and such a temptation.
c. Gentleness With The Sheep. I Thank You And Praise You, that Yvonne has moved in
a beauty of your grace, an effortlessness, a fluidity that allowed the sheep to know
that she wasn’t going to beat them, that she wasn’t going to shear them or clip them or
snip them or cut them, and she wasn’t going to take from them, that she only want to give
to them something that You so want to give to them. I Thank You And Praise You for
that.
Thank You Lord, Thank You Lord.
8. FAMILY MEMBERS
I just see family members for some reason. I just wanna go there.
a. Broken Family Members. Lord, I just want to follow You where you’re going with
family members that’ve been really broken. I really feel that there have been family
members who have really been trashed, like kicked to the curb or something, something
there, a woundedness there. I’m asking Lord that You…their destinies are not
thwarted, that You have so much more there for them.
b. Healing And Destinies. And there’s a season for healing. It’s just ahead. Even as
you’ve been interceding for family members, you know, don’t be burdened by this but
allow just the continual flow of heaven into their lives. Don’t look at the wreckage or
what they’ve been through or anything, because that’ll throw you off. But look to the
vision of God. Because He says that their destinies are fully in tack, that you don’t
have to be concerned because the work of the move of heaven will be mighty in this
area. Know that He’s healing wounded hearts.

9. A PARENTAL BURDEN
I just feel like there’s been a parental burden there, or something, like you had something
for parents or something. There, I thank You and praise You Lord, that you’re lifting their
burden, that they can cast their cares upon You, that you are just sustaining them.
10. A HEALING SEASON & THE PERFECT HELPMATE
a. Flow Together. I feel that there’s a healing season here, that there’s really an area that
you guys have to regroup that you really have to come into this place of understanding
of everything that’s taken place. Almost as if there’s been, not a division between the
two of you, but almost as if there has to be a coming back now that you flow together,
like you’ve been flowing separately. But now God is saying,
“It’s time to come back.
It’s time to flow together in unison and oneness.”
Because, Jim, I feel doors are opening for you to go to speak and to share.
And Yvonne, that there’s that same opportunity in other realms, but there is something of
coming together and getting the battle plan together, and seeing the vision together, and
seeing the next step together, and being able to support.
b. The Perfect Helpmate. Yvonne you are the perfect helpmate suitable to Jim. I mean
there is no one on this planet that God recognizes nor has He anointed anyone else on this
planet to be able to impart strength to Jim.
And I want to say this…it’s very strange…I see Yvonne being tucked underneath your
arm, Jim, that she is totally tucked underneath your arm…I Thank You And Praise
You Lord, give us understanding into that, that helpmate suitable.
c. Exploited. I feel like, I must just say this - It’s almost as if, Jim, I feel as if people have
exploited your weaknesses in the past and that will no longer go on. I just bind that right
now in Jesus’ name, that no one is going to bring up, or expose, or reveal any of your
weaknesses. Only your strengths will be out there.
I feel that there’s been something very underhanded done to you, Jim. I don’t know what
that is. I think you’ve been told things, that they did not come to pass and you’ve been
promised things that weren’t given or somebody said something very cutting. Lord I ask
for any healing in this area of being undermined, or being less than, or kicked to the curb,
or…I don’t know…all the verbiage there, Lord, that could be said of the wound
d. Healing. But I feel that there is a real healing season here for you, Jim. And I feel like
Yvonne is right there at your side, tucked right underneath…you know…your sore ribs.
You know…where you’ve been really needing….she is going to be that impartation of
healing to you

11. YVONNE’S DOWNLOADS & COVENANT
a. Downloads. Yvonne, I just know that God is going to give you such downloads
of…even in this I feel that, whatever you get, you’ll be able to give to others at the same
time, but it has to be given to Jim first. We have to see the fruit of restoration here,
first.
b. Covenant Insights. This is a sacred time. It’s not a time to share this outwardly.
Because God is going to give you some really powerful insights into covenant, into
marriage, into the bride. The bride is being made ready for His return, but He is not
returning for slaves. He is returning for a bride and she is going to be responding with an
intimacy and a romance, Father, we haven’t seen before.
c. An Altar & An Outpouring. And you guys are going to be really an altar of that,
a real outpouring of that. And people are going to see that strength, and see that
beauty, and how you two work in tandem.
d. In Ministry Together. There’s something so beautiful about the way that you two
communicate, the way that you two move together in ministry. It’s a really strange
anointing.
I’ve never seen that before.
How it’s not tag team, but
it’s something beautiful. It’s almost as if it’s a choir, a duet, like two voices singing one
song and the sound is like heaven. And I Thank You And Praise You Lord.
1) Covenant Love, And Covenant Marriage, And Covenant Ministry. How you bring
forth these words, how you move in ministry, how you move in that anointing,
it’s going to be staggering to the people because they’ve never seen this before, but
it’s going to be so God, it’s going to awaken them, almost shockingly, to see how
God moves through covenant love, and covenant marriage, and covenant ministry.
2) An Equality Of Anointing And Call. Because I feel like you guys have as much
ministry covenant together as you do have marriage covenant. I’ve never seen that
before. It’s almost like an equality of anointing and call. You’re so balanced,
it’s amazing. I Thank You And Praise You Lord for all that you’re saying, for all that
you’re doing. I Thank You And Praise You For This.

12. CHILDREN
Are there children, or do you have children? (Yes) I thank You and praise You for these
children, Lord.
a. What The Children Saw. I just feel like they’ve seen so much. I just ask,
Lord, that You give them great understanding, because I think they’ve seen so much of
the things of the enemy that has come against their parents and how hard the road has
been; and how their parents have been treated.
Lord, that You would cover these children that they would not fear stepping out for You
or that the enemy would not use this to come against them.
Healing. I thank You for healing, for restoration, wholeness, whatever that is that they
may need, after how they’ve been treated…I hate to say it…by believers. I just, I Thank
You And Praise You that they are whole and they are blessed. And that You are
overcoming every work of the enemy and there is no doubt within them, that they are so
filled with faith,
b. The Mantle On The Children. I thank You and praise You that the call of God, the
mantle that is upon the children is so strong, I Thank You And Praise You for that.
c. The Generational Covering Of Birthed Twins. The Covering is so rich. For
the generations to come will be incredibly blessed because of what you two have
done, you’ve broken a…it’s like, I see you two as twins in the womb. I see this sack
that has kept you. It’s almost like a veil, and I see this poking. And it’s like this breaking
forth, and there’s a gushing of the ambiotic fluid, and there’s the move of the river of
God, and it’s just flushing out, and its just birthing the two of you through this tight
place, and it’s almost as if I could see that there’s a twin to you two. You two can look
into each others eyes, and you know what the other one’s thinking, your so twin to
each other. Because you have been raised up in the womb together, you’ve been in a
tight place together, you’ve held on to each other, and because of that, you move as one
and I thank You and praise You for that Lord. And there’s a breaking forth. There’s a
birthing.
It’s the river of God.
It’s the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and
its bringing you to that place that God desires you to be.
I Thank You And Praise You.

13. THE HARVEST
a. Seeing The Harvest. I feel like God is saying to me, and I don’t know why or if this
means anything, but I feel, to say this:
That God says,
“What you have labored for has not been in vain.
You will see the harvest of this thing.”
The Lord assuring your heart that all that you have suffered through was for the sake of
this and that you will see the fullness of this harvest.
b. Moving From Church To Church. I almost feel as if there have been times before that
you’ve left other churches or something and you haven’t been seen for the fullness for the
great move of God on your lives. Almost as if it’s been:
“Well, we know your called
but we never…but we’ve never seen the greatness of God”,
or something, and it’s almost as if you’ve left other churches, and its always been you’re
the only ones that are believing it and others haven’t been able to understand it or
recognize it. I look…like, I see…like, a puppy, looking at a butterfly, who sort of tilts his
head and says,
“Well...well, what is this thing about you guys.”
Like,
“I don’t understand.”
And then you left that church and you went to another church. And then that work was
good and everything, but you didn’t really see the good thing of God there. And then I
see you go here and it’s almost as if you get very weary and saying,
“Well God, when is the breakthrough going to happen?
When are we going to see some fruit here?”
Like,
“We’ve seen little things happen at the past church and, little things at the church before
that, and everybody sort of looks at us oddly”,
like well,
“Well, what is this thing about you guys?”
And I feel that the Father is saying,
“Do not bite into what the enemy has been trying to sell you.
You will see the fruitfulness of this.
You have not labored in vain.
You will see the fruitfulness of this thing,
and people will recognize,
and their eyes will be opened,
and they will recognize this thing,
and you are going to be honored for this
where there hasn’t been the honor and respect before.”

14. THE PATH OF HUMILITY FOR “A MINISTRY TO MINISTERS”
a. Walking Low In Humility. But there has been always the path of humility, where you’ve
just been walking low, keeping that low posture, just really allowing God to work in your
hearts.
But God’s says,
“I’m raising you up. I’m lifting you up.”
b. Recognition Among Leaders. You’re going to a great place in Him, where you will be
recognized. You’re not going to be kicked to the curb. You are going to be recognized
among the leaders. And leaders will entrust you with things.
c. Relationship With Leaders. There’s a connectedness of relationship with leaders that I
haven’t seen before. It’s almost as if they haven’t been able to embrace you before. And I
don’t know whether they knew how to, but I feel even in other Christian circles, other church
movements that have not known how to embrace, what is it that you are doing, what are you
called to, almost as if there’s been a fog about it, something vague about it, like you couldn’t
articulate it, or as much as you said what you are called to, they couldn’t get it or something.
It’s almost as if it has been…it wasn’t for that season.
d. Ministering To Ministers. Let’s just say that, but now you are coming into that season
where you are going to be breaking forth and God is going to show himself strong on
your behalf, and because of that, other leaders…you are going to be ministering to
ministers is what I am trying to say, you’ll be ministering to ministers, you’ll be ministering
to other leaders.
e. Circuit Riders. If feel like…I know that this is going to sound like really strange…I see,
like, a pony express or something. It’s almost as if…what do you call those type of ministers
that would ride from one…(Yvonne stated – Circuit Riders)…yea, Circuit Riders. I can see
you ministering to other ministers like circuit riding, like your….because of this you can
minister to the leaders faster. If you can get to the head, it will flow down to the people.
f. Connectedness And Relationship. And I can see where there’s connectedness and
relationship and you are not going to be shunned anymore but you’re going to be…it’s
because you’re so humble and that was the key here. It was the breaking of whatever pride
or whatever was in us, that God was just making us humble so that He could use us, so that
we could wash the feet of leaders and they would not be….you know…
1) Anointed Leaders. I feel it’s like David with Saul, like he said I won’t touch God’s
anointed. Because those leaders are anointed. They just don’t know how to bring
forth the move of the Holy Spirit. They’ve been bound by this spirit of religion.

2) Open Hearts Of Leaders. But, because you bring honor to them, and because you
respect them, and you understand what it’s like to bound by this filthy thing, you give
them honor and respect, and they can ease their heart. It’s like, you know,
they’re opening their heart to you, because they know you are not judging them; they
know you’re not attacking them. But, because you come so humbly and so low, that they
just feel like,
“Yea, I want whatever it is you’ve got.
I’m listening.
I know there is more.
I’ve been hungering.
God has been stirring hunger in my heart.”
3) Bringing Honor And Respect. And because you’ve done this in the right way, you
brought honor and respect to them…you know…I want to say disarming charm, but it’s
very disarming, this respect, this honor that you give them is so disarming of this thing,
this religiosity, that they are willing to let go and open themselves up and trust
themselves to your heart. And trust their hearts to you.
And I Thank You And Praise You Lord that You knew the plan all along. You knew
what it would take to get to the leaders. And I want to say, I fell like the Father is saying,
“There aren’t many that are trusted with leaders,
because there is something sacred, you don’t touch leaders”.
g. Entrusted With Leaders. Leaders are anointed of the Lord. They are of a different
realm. But He has trusted you with leaders, because you have been brought so low that He
can raise you up so high. It’s like that skyscraper thing, you know…how they go down so
deep, it takes forever to lay a foundation for a skyscraper, and it goes up so quickly and so
high. I Thank You And Praise You Lord that you allowed them to go through this, and I
can’t even touch that with a 10 foot pole. That is so sacred in the eyes of God, the suffering
that you have gone through.
But I fell like God is saying,
“Don’t touch that. That is holy that is sacred to me.”
It’s like this whole realm that’s only you guys, and only God, and only God knows how bad
the nightmare has been of what you have been living through. But God says,
“That thing is over”.
That
“There’s this time of coming out.”
h. A Time Of Training. You know there’s been a time of training. You’ve been in boot camp
for sure. You know, it’s just beaten you down at times, but I Thank You And Praise You
Lord, that You preserved their lives through the very thing they suffered - It was that very
thing that would preserve their lives; and that you kept them safe because of it. And I Thank
You And Praise You for that.
But there is a ministry to ministers. There’s a connectedness of relationship and it’s
because of your humility.
I Thank You And Praise You Lord.

15. THE BLESSING
I just bless Jim and Yvonne, Lord.
It’s been awesome to look at these things. I’ve seen things today that I’ve never seen
before, and I don’t even know how to embrace them.
But I Thank You And Praise You Lord, that even now they are blessed.
I bless them, in Jesus’ name, that they are blessed, that they are the head and not the
tail. They are above only and not beneath.
They are blessed coming in and they’ll be blessed going out.
And they’re blessed and their hands are blessed with wealth, that they have the power to
create wealth that the Kingdom Of God will be blessed in everything that they do.
I Thank You And Praise You for the strength and the honor and the respect and the
dignity that You are pouring out upon this couple in restoration and for healing.
THE MESSAGE EMPHASIZED:
I’m going to tell you this again.
God is saying this again,
“You will be recognized
for the greatness,
the anointing that He has placed upon your life and
all that you have suffered,
for He has prepared you to take honor
without becoming arrogant, or big headed, or falling into pride.
You will
And
be able to take the mantle
and
not be twisted or poisoned by it.
it’s all because of what you’ve gone through.”
And I Thank You And Praise You For This Lord.
Bless them and protect them.
Let them leave this place being refreshed that they know they are coming into this
season of restoration. Of everything that they have worked for and labored that you’ve
made these things known to their hearts,
We Thank You And Praise You For It Lord.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
