I am going to ask you: do you want a message from me today, or do you want your life to change forever? That’s a good response, but the Bible says we do not have because we do not ask. I do not dare come here thinking that because I can speak a certain way, I can change your life. It takes the Holy Spirit, so we are asking Him, okay? Because I’m not traveling all the way here without seeing your life change, amen? So, it’s a good request, and we’re in agreement.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for this church; what an amazing work You’ve raised up! But, Lord, we, as a people, are now standing before You in Your presence, and we’re in awe that You would even want to call us sons and daughters. But You have; You have poured out Your love upon us in such a way that we can’t even speak of it or articulate it. It is so magnanimous. So, I’m asking today, Holy Spirit, fill this sanctuary again with the presence of Jesus; reveal Him to us in a way like we’ve never known Him before. I pray that if anybody under the sound of my voice does not know Him intimately, they will know Him before this service is over, and that we would go from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Living God. For I decree Your kingdom has come within us; Your will shall be done in this place on earth as it is in heaven. For this, we give You all the glory, the honor, the praise, and the thanksgiving, and it’s in Jesus' mighty, wonderful, majestic, holy, awesome, magnificent name we pray. And everybody that agrees shouts, «Amen!»

Give Him praise for what He’s going to do, amen! You can be seated. I just want to say that today, I’m really excited to share with you from the newest book that was launched. It was released on Tuesday, and it is in all the bookstores: the airport bookstores, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. It has already become a number one bestseller on Amazon in the Christian resources category. It’s called «Driven by Eternity.» I actually wrote it 10 years ago, but we’ve relaunched it for a reason, and that reason happened about 10 months ago. I was asked to speak at a conference in Goiânia, Brazil, if you’ve ever heard of it. I think it’s the fifth largest city in Brazil. I flew down there to a conference just for the pastors and leaders of this church network. When I walked into the arena, there were 12,500 pastors and leaders, and they were crazy passionate. I mean, they’re almost as passionate as you; they might even be a little bit more. It’s really close! Okay? I’m like, «Oh my goodness, this is amazing! These are pastors, and they’re this happy!»

So, the next day, I’m at lunch, meeting with the eight lead guys in this church network. They put the guy who spoke the best English right across the table from me at lunch. I said to him, «How many people are in your churches?» He said, «Over 300,000.» I said, «Whoa!» I thought, when did you start? I expected him to say, you know, «like 50 years ago.» Instead, he said, «We started in 1999 with one family.» What? I almost dropped my fork! I said, «Do you mean to tell me you have built a church from one man, a guy named Aluu, to over 300,000 people in 16 years in a first-world nation?» He said, «Exactly!» I said, «How do you do that?»

I thought I knew what he would say; I thought he would say it’s because of home fellowship groups. But without even batting an eye, without even hesitating, he looked at me and said, «It’s because we teach our people on eternal rewards and judgment.» He said, «Now, John, I’ve been to many American churches, and I’ve been to American conferences because I speak such good English. I have noticed that you Americans don’t teach your people on eternal rewards and judgment.» He said, «So our Christians down here see life through the eternal perspective, while you American Christians see life through the 70 or 80-year perspective.» Now, let me tell you: when you see things from an eternal perspective rather than a 70 or 80-year perspective, you will pursue things differently, make decisions differently, and endure things you wouldn’t necessarily endure with a 70 or 80-year perspective.

For this reason, I felt I had to re-release this book, and I’m glad I did after seeing what’s happened in the first week it’s been out. C.S. Lewis speaks in regard to this, and I want to read to you what he says in «Mere Christianity.» He says, «If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this one.»

John the Apostle, when he was in his 90s—think with me of this amazing Apostle who they put in a boiling vat of oil, and he comes out praising God, and they can’t martyr him, so they put him on a deserted island called Patmos, and he receives the Book of Revelation. I mean, this guy’s a rock star! Look what he writes in his 90s: in 2 John, verse 8, he says, «Look to yourselves.» Everybody say, «Look to myself.» You know immediately he’s not talking to the person next to you; he’s talking to you. He says that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.

Now, how many of you know God is a rewarder? Oh my goodness, you know better than this! Let me try it one more time: how many of you know God’s a rewarder? I mean, how does He introduce Himself to Abraham? He appears to this guy and says, «I am your shield, your exceeding great reward.» What a way to introduce Yourself as God! Right? Psalm 19 says, «In keeping His commandments, there is a great reward.» God is a rewarder.

But the thing that caught my attention about this verse—if they could just put it back up again—is that John doesn’t say just «reward»; he specifically says «full reward.» Now, I thought for him to specifically say «full reward» means what? There’s a partial reward scenario and a no reward scenario. Isn’t it interesting that John doesn’t say, «Hey, live in such a way that you’re going to get a partial reward»? Why doesn’t he say that? Because listen to my words: God wants you to receive the full reward, right?

But as a father, I’ve learned something with four sons: I don’t reward my sons unless they’ve earned it or deserve it. Why? Because if I do, I take away incentive, and incentive is a good thing. Now, what is John talking about here? You have to remember he’s in his 90s. Well, John’s very close to something that weighs heavily on his heart—not heavy; that’s not a good way of saying it—it’s very predominant on his heart. He knows something I’ve discovered that a lot of American Christians don’t know and understand, and that is, one day, every one of us is going to stand before Jesus Christ as our judge. You say, «Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, John; hold it, hold it! Jesus is my Savior.» Yes, He’s your Savior, but one day you’re going to stand before Him as judge.

You might ask, «Where do you get that from?» 2 Corinthians chapter 5. I’m really glad you asked! Look at this: Paul says, «We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.» Now, we know right there Paul is not speaking to all humanity. Why? How do we know that? Because when an unbeliever is absent from the body, they are in hell. Now, that is not a harsh statement; it’s just a statement of fact. You have to remember Jesus said, «I didn’t come to condemn the world; I came to save it.» He came to save us out of what we condemned ourselves into.

But here’s the reality: when an unbeliever is absent from the body, they’re in hell. Therefore, we know Paul can only be talking to believers here. Now, look what he says in the very next verse: «Therefore, we make it our aim, or our goal, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.»

I remember one time my sons were teenage boys, and we were all having dinner one night. I thought, «Ah, I want to communicate something to them.» I remember reflecting on it before dinner, and when we were all sitting around the table, I looked at my four sons, who were all sitting there eating. I said, «Guys, I want to tell you something: you can never do anything to make your mother and me love you any more than we love you.» Then I looked at them and said, «And you can never do anything to make your mother and me love you any less than we love you.» You could just see them soaking that in, right?

Then I continued, «But you are in charge of how pleased we are with you.» It hit them like a ton of bricks. Well, let me tell you something: you can never do anything to make God love you any more than He loves you; you can never do anything to make God love you any less than He loves you. But you are in charge of how pleased He is with you. That’s why Paul says we make it our goal—not just to be pleasing, but to be well pleasing. Why does he say that?

The very next verse says, «For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.» Every one of us as believers is going to stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Now, listen to me carefully: one of the most important statements I’m about to make all morning is that we will not be judged for our sins. Why? Because our sins have been eradicated by the blood of Jesus. Everybody say, «Thank God for that!» When people hear the word judgment, they get afraid because they attach the word condemnation to it.

Ninety percent of the time, the word judgment appears in the New Testament regarding Christians; it is from the Greek word «krisis,» which simply means this: a decision. That’s what it means; that’s its definition: a decision resulting from an investigation. So, every one of us is going to stand before the judgment seat of Christ as Christians, and He will conduct an investigation on our lives. Not only will He investigate our lives as Christians regarding our works, but also in regard to our words, our thoughts, our motives, even our intentions. Oh yeah!

1 Corinthians 4:5 says that Jesus will reveal our darkest secrets and bring to light our private motives. Then, each one’s praise will come from God. We know we can’t be talking about the sinner’s judgment there because no sinner will receive praise from God; He’s talking about believers. He will thoroughly investigate how we lived as believers, what we gave ourselves to, what we accomplished. As a result of that thorough investigation He does in our lives as Christians, He will make decisions. Remember: judgment means decision. As a result of those decisions, we will either receive rewards or we will suffer losses. The Bible is very clear about the rewards we can receive and the losses we can suffer, which can range from reigning beside Christ forever and ever and ever all the way to having everything we did burned up.

The former would be the full reward; the latter is the partial reward, or the no reward. Everything else is partial. Now, Hebrews chapter 6 tells us that the decisions He makes over our lives at that judgment seat will be eternal. They are called eternal judgments.

You can put the word «decisions» in for «judgment.» Eternal decisions. So, you know what that tells me? There will never be any revisions to those decisions, changes, or amendments—they will stand forever. So, you know what that tells me? What we do with the cross determines where we’re going to spend eternity. We all know heaven or hell. However, how we live as believers determines how we’re going to spend eternity.

James, in his little book in the fourth chapter, the 14th verse, makes an interesting statement: «This life is a vapor.» If James were alive today, I don’t believe he would have written it this way. He would have said, «This life is zero.» How do I know that? Because we know something that James didn’t know through simple mathematics, and that is this: any finite number divided by infinity is equal to zero. Remember that from junior high mathematics?

So, in other words, if you live to be 80 years old and you compare 80 years to eternity, you get zero. The oldest man on the planet right now is 146. If you live to be 146, God forbid, and you compare 146 to eternity, you still get zero. So, you know what that tells me? What we do in this zero time determines how we will spend eternity.

Now, let me help you get a little glimpse of what I’m saying here. Let’s say we could live longer in our bodies. A leader walks into an auditorium like this, and we’re all sitting out here. The leader looks at us and says, «All right, the way you live the next 24 hours—one day, one day—the way you live it is going to determine how you’re going to spend the next thousand years on the Earth.»

Now, I want you to think about a thousand years. That’s a long time! If you go back a thousand years, King Louis XIV of France hasn’t even been born yet. I mean, it’s a long time! But yet, the job you have, the people you work with, the neighborhood you live in, the house you live in, the views you have from your house—whether you live in Siberia or Newport Beach—for the next thousand years, it’s going to be determined by how you live the next 24 hours. How would you live the next 24 hours? Honestly, would you live it with purpose, or would you throw it all to chance?

Everybody would say purpose! You better believe you would live it with purpose. But yet, it’s nothing compared to what I’m talking to you about; because one day divided by 365,000 days is still a finite number.

Let’s say this leader looks at us and says, «All right, the way you live the next day will determine how you’re going to spend the next million years on this Earth.»

Now, we have no way of referencing a million years. I mean, if you go back a million years—we don’t even know what was going on! Adam was 6,000 years ago. But yet, the house you live in, the car you drive, the neighborhood you live in, the people who live next door to you, where you live, the job you do, the people you work with—for the next million years—is going to be determined by how you spend the next 24 hours. How would you live the next 24 hours? With purpose or throw it to chance? With purpose! Yet, that’s still nothing compared to what I’m talking to you about because one day divided by 365 million days—the number of days in a million years—is still a finite number.

What we do in this zero time determines how we’re going to spend eternity. Now, when God first told me to write this message, I will never forget it. I know exactly where I was; it was early in the morning, the sun hadn’t come up yet, and I was praying. I was outside, and when the Lord said to me, «Son, I want you to write a book on the judgment seat,» I kind of laughed and said, «God, I’ve maybe preached on the judgment seat 20 minutes in my entire life; how can I write a chapter, let alone a book?» And, of course, the Lord said nothing.

So I went to my Bible; I got on my computer, and I retrieved every reference in the Bible that had to do with eternity, rewards, judgment, losses, heaven, and hell from seven different translations, and I printed them all out. I had a notebook this thick. What I did was meditate on these scriptures for one solid month, and what I realized was God has a whole lot to say about this subject. One of the things I noticed is that when God speaks of us here on this Earth regarding eternity, He calls us builders.

Now, it’s interesting: I had the privilege of building a custom home at one time. There was a guy that got deeply impacted by my book, «The Bait of Satan,» and he said, «I want to build you a house, and I will not make a penny off of it.» I remember when he built our house, he didn’t nail one nail into the whole house. He didn’t lay one brick; he didn’t lay a tile. All the subcontractors were the ones that actually built our house. Well, do you know God is the builder of His own custom house, and we are all the subcontractors? That’s why He calls us builders; we are building His house where He’s going to dwell forever. Are you following me?

So, God refers to us as builders. Let me give you some examples. The book of Psalms says, «Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.» Here’s another one: «The stone which the builders rejected became the chief cornerstone.» Let me show you another one: Ephesians—Paul says, «God gives the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.» Watch this; here’s the next verse: «Their responsibility is to equip God’s people"—that’s all of us—to do His work and build up the church. He calls us builders! You see this? That’s our role!

Now, if you look at what Paul says in the book of Corinthians, you really get it. Paul comes along in Corinthians and says, «On judgment day fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done.» Now, what’s the fire that’s going to reveal the work? It’s His Word. In Jeremiah, God says, «Is not My word like a fire?» If you remember what Jesus says in John chapter 12, He says, «The words that I speak will judge you in that day.» We already know the criteria of the judgment; are you following me?

So, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. See, the previous verse in verse 12, Paul talks about the fact that we as builders have a choice in building our lives and other people’s lives. We can build with wood, hay, or straw, which represents the temporal, or we can build with gold, silver, or precious stones, which represents the eternal.

Let me give you an example of the difference: I can be on this amazing worship team—right? And if my whole motive, my private motive, is because I want people to see me in the Father’s house, that’s wood, hay, and straw. That will be devoured. That means all the practices I’ve gone to and all the work I’ve done will be devoured. But if I want to stand on this platform because I want to worship God and lead people into His presence, that’s gold, silver, and precious stones because when you put fire under wood, hay, and straw, it’s gone. The other purifies it. Are you seeing this?

So, now look what he goes on to say: «If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward.» Hopefully, a full reward, right? Come on, say «full reward.» Alright, look at the next verse: «But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved; he or she will go to heaven, but like somebody barely escaping through a wall of flames.»

Now, we Americans prepare for retirement. How many of you know that’s a smart thing to do? But can you imagine the day you retire? Your bank closes its doors; it’s done. You’ve lost all your cash. Not only that, on the day you retire, social security goes bankrupt. Not only that, on the same day your house catches fire, and it burns completely to the ground, and you escape with just the shirt on your back. Not only that, on the same day, your insurance company goes bankrupt. Now, what do you call that? A bad day!

To be honest, we Americans can’t even comprehend that kind of situation because we have government programs that help us out of something, right? Okay, I’m not going there. Don’t even think I’m going there! There are people in nations who can comprehend that kind of language; we can’t in America! Do you realize that is the language Paul is using, though, to describe how some Christians are going to enter into eternity?

This is why Paul the Apostle says to us, «So run your race that you may lay hold of the prize, the full reward. Make it yours!» He writes this at the end of his life. Now, I had somebody say this to me on my Facebook. They said, «I don’t live for Jesus to get rewards; I live for Him just because I love Him.» And I thought, I love Him with all my heart. But here are two senior apostles that tell us to live in such a way we can get the reward, and then God showed me why.

He gave me the wisdom about two years ago; I had a vivid vision. I saw the armies of heaven marching in on the streets of gold in this magnificent city, and these armies were bringing Jesus His spoils. He was high on a platform, and the armies were coming up. What’s His spoils? Ask me for the nations! Right? So, they’re bringing Him the spoils, and I saw myriads of citizens on the sidewalk cheering as the soldiers came in. There were a lot more citizens on the sidewalk than there were soldiers.

The Holy Spirit asked me a question: «Do you want to be one of the citizens on the sidewalk cheering, or do you want to be one of the soldiers bringing Me My rewards?» I went, «See? Live in a way that you get the full reward because I want to bring it to Him.» Are you seeing this? I said, «Are you seeing this?»

Now, notice Paul says, «Run your race.» Everybody say, «My race.» My race! Say it again: «My race!» Say it again! Okay, now, anybody who’s ever run cross country or track knows that back in the old days when I was in high school, if I ran cross country or track, I had to have the route I was going to run. If I didn’t know my route, I could run and run and run, and I’ll eventually collapse; they’ll carry me home, but I won’t finish because I don’t know my route.

You have to know the route to be able to say, «I have finished.» Do you remember what Paul said? «I have finished my race.» Do you remember what Jesus said in John 17:4? «Father, I have finished the work You’ve given me to do.» Well, if you look at Ephesians 2:10, look at this. Look at what Paul says about all of us: «For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.»

Everybody say, «To do.» No, no! Everybody say it: «To do!» Good works! Not only are you created to be a child of God; you were equally created to do something which God—now look at this—"which God prepared beforehand.» Everybody say, «Beforehand.»

Okay, I want to highlight that statement: He prepared beforehand good works that we should—now notice it doesn’t say we «would» walk in them; it said we «should.» That’s free will! Okay, let me look at those two highlighted statements. First of all, «beforehand.» How far beforehand did God prepare your and my works? Well, David answers it in Psalm 139. Look at this: he said, «You saw me before I was born; every day of my life was recorded in Your book.»

Hey, look at me! There’s a book written about your life, and you know who the author is? It’s God! What’s your name? Lisa? Okay, Lisa, do you know there’s a book? It says, «Lisa (your last name),» and guess who wrote this book? God! And He wrote this book before she was born!

Now look at this: «Every moment of Lisa’s life.» Wow, it left! Okay? «Every moment of Lisa’s life was laid out in this book before a single day began.» So, He wrote this book before she was born, and here’s the book. You know there’s a book written about me, and there’s a book written about Lisa, there’s a book written about you—all our books are open today!

This moment—we’re all listening: me and Lisa are talking while you’re all listening to me and Lisa. Do you get it? Why? Because God always writes out the story before it begins. He writes the full story out and then says, «Let’s go back and start it.» Remember Jesus, the Lamb slain from the foundations of the earth. Remember, God said to Jeremiah, «Before you were born, I ordained you.» I already wrote your book. Paul said, «Jesus, who called me by His grace before I was in my mother’s womb.»

And every one of us, according to Paul, has a calling on our life—not just the pastors, not just these amazing worship leaders—every one of us, yes! And there’s this book.

So, do you remember in the book of Daniel it says, «The judgment, the books will be opened?» What books are going to be opened? Lisa’s book is going to be opened, and you! Are you seeing this?

Now, let’s talk about that word «should.» Walk in. Ecclesiastes 3:15: «That which is has already been.» Now, that which is—right now Lisa is sitting in the front row at Father’s House—has already been. What does it mean? It’s already been; it was. What does it mean? It’s already been. He wrote the book before she was born, but look at this next statement: «And what is to be.» That’s our tomorrow—it’s already been.

What does it mean? It’s already been; He wrote it before we were born. But look at this next statement: «And God requires an account of what has passed.» In other words, did we walk in what He ordained for us to do, or did we go our own way?

So you know what that tells me in regard to our callings? At the judgment, we will not be judged according to what we did; rather, we’ll be judged in the light of what we were called to do. I’ve been traveling for 30 years; I’ve seen pastors who I knew were called to the business world. I’ve seen business people that I knew were called to ministry. I’ve seen senior pastors that I knew were called to be associates and associates who were called to be seniors. I remember I looked at one senior pastor and said, «You need to be in the business world.»

Do you know that pastor left the church, put it in somebody else’s hands, and later called, saying they were having so much fun and so fulfilled being in the business world? I could tell you story after story, but we’re running out of time.

I spoke about this at the Hillsong Conference a few years back, and there were 22,000 people in the building. It was at the Acer Arena down in Sydney. And remember the hotel where some of us were staying was across the street from there? There was a pastor, a senior pastor, who happened to be a woman. She had been a senior pastor for 35 years; she had birthed the church, and she was irate! She looked at my office manager and said, «He cannot be serious in what he preached tonight!»

And my office manager said, «He absolutely was serious. Why are you so upset?» She said, «Because when I was a girl, I had visions of me speaking and ministering to the Filipino people. I had dreams about it!» She said, «But I birthed this church 35 years ago; it’s doing well! How does that line up with what he said?»

My office manager very wisely said, «What are you going to do about it?»

Well, one year later, we learned that she immediately went back within weeks, turned the church over to her executive pastor, and was now having the time of her life in the Philippines!

I could tell you about a Navy SEAL instructor who wanted to have dinner with me last year in Hawaii. And when a Navy SEAL wants to have dinner, I’m there! I said, «What’s your story?» For two hours, this man told me his story. He went to Bible school because he loved God and wanted to serve God.

After two years of Bible school, in the third year, he was interning at a church, and he was accused of sleeping with a girl. He said, «John, I never slept with her!» He said, «But they threw me out, took my credentials away; everything was done—three years of work gone.» He said, «John, I sought God like I’ve never sought Him before!»

He said, «You know what God said to me? I haven’t called you to ministry; I have called you to military.»

He said, «I went to the Air Force, I went to the Marines, I went to the Army, I went to the Navy. The last one, he said, the recruiter is reading down a list of what you can enlist for, and he says the word 'SEALs, ' and life exploded! He said, 'That’s it! That’s what I’m supposed to do! '»

The recruiter says, «No, you do not want to enlist in that. Every guy in this office flunked out; only 0,1% of the guys make it.» He said, «I don’t care; that is what I’m supposed to do!»

Well, what the recruiter didn’t know and he didn’t know was that he had to know how to swim in order to be a Navy SEAL. He didn’t know how to swim. The other thing that the recruiter didn’t know was that he had several operations because he had very narrow ear canals, and they had to put tubes in his ear canals. Any time he got water in them, he was in excruciating pain!

He said, «John, I couldn’t even go a foot deep in water without excruciating pain.» He prayed and taught himself how to swim. One day he goes down 5 feet, 10 feet—no pain! God totally healed him!

Then, he started telling me about his missions—wild, wild stuff! It caused the hair on my arm to stand up! Their cell phones could not have preprogrammed numbers in case they were arrested. One time, in an ambush, they were in a crossfire; they were all dead. Thirty of them! His phone calls his parents while they’re in their prayer group, turns itself on—no preprogrammed numbers—and calls his mother’s cell phone.

They all pray for their deliverance because they hear bullets. All thirty get in; all thirty get out; not one harmed! He looked at me with a big smile and said, «I’m not called to ministry, I’m called to military!»

Somebody’s sitting here right now thinking, «But I’m too old; I’ve missed it.» No, you’re not too old! You know Smith Wigglesworth, one of the greatest ministers of the Gospel in the entire 20th century, didn’t start until he was in his 50s. He was a plumber up until then!

How about Moses? He was 80 years old when he started his ministry!

Then, I think about the guy who was working for our team at Messenger International. We had three IT guys because we had a lot of employees, and I just felt like he was out of place. So one day I called him into my office and said, «Hey, I’ll buy you and your wife a one-way ticket to Kenya.»

He said, «Can I go home and talk to my wife about it?» I said sure; the offer’s on the table. The next day, they both came in and said, «We’re going to take you up on it.»

Now, he’s 55; she’s 62. They sold everything, went to Kenya. In the last eight years—this was in 2008—in the last eight years, they have started 32 Bible schools in the bush in Kenya, and they do mostly pastors. He’s had malaria 17 times. He just looked at me with the biggest smile two months ago and said, «They’re going to bury us in Kenya! We’re never leaving; it’s our home!»

He’s so fulfilled because he’s doing what was written in his book. Every one of you has a calling. Every one of you! God wrote a book about your life.

I want every head bowed, every eye closed. If you’re here today and you’d say, «Hey John, I really want to know what the call of God on my life is. I really want to know. I just don’t know right now. Sometimes I wonder if I’m really doing what I’m created to do.» If you say, «John, pray for me,» I want you to just lift up your hands right now; just lift them up high. Wow! Look at all the people! I love this!

Can you just stand to your feet while we pray together right now? Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for every man, woman, and child that’s standing. Lord, You wrote their book out before even a single day of our life began. I release the knowledge of their calling; I release the vision of what they’re placed on this Earth to do. I release it into them now. Holy Spirit of God, even as You showed David, even as You showed Jeremiah, even as You showed Mary, even as You showed so many of Your servants, reveal to them where they’re called to build Your kingdom. In Jesus' name, amen.
