WEBVTT 00:00:01.689 --> 00:00:09.039 Let's wave them around, make Jesus glad and the devil mad and say this together say Heavenly Father, today I'll be taught the Word of God. 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:14.039 My heart is open to receive revelation right out of the word. 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:24.920 I'm willing to make adjustments, I'm willing to change, I'm willing to grow in the things of God, especially concerning prayer. 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.620 Prayer is vital to my life. 00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:34.750 I'm acting like it and I'm moving into places that I've never been. 00:00:34.750 --> 00:00:49.619 In Jesus' name, amen, let's all turn you can be seated here in the house and turn in our Bibles to James, chapter five, and we'll start reading with verse 16, just half of a verse. 00:00:49.619 --> 00:00:51.619 You know Jesus used half of a verse. 00:00:51.619 --> 00:00:56.619 James 5, 16, b is what I like to say. 00:01:00.249 --> 00:01:09.403 Second part of the verse the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 00:01:09.403 --> 00:01:10.406 That's the King James. 00:01:10.406 --> 00:01:14.531 But now I want to read it out of the amplified classic. 00:01:14.531 --> 00:01:24.322 The earnest, heartfelt, continued prayer of a righteous man or woman makes tremendous power available. 00:01:24.322 --> 00:01:29.623 Dynamic in its working oh, isn't that powerful. 00:01:29.623 --> 00:01:33.341 It makes tremendous power Not just. 00:01:33.341 --> 00:01:35.349 You know well, I've done everything. 00:01:35.349 --> 00:01:36.825 All I could do was pray. 00:01:36.825 --> 00:01:38.325 No man pray first. 00:01:38.325 --> 00:01:41.528 Pray is where the power is released. 00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:55.629 So here we're, reading out of the book of James, and if you read the book of James the book of James is what we call an end time book the context of what James remarks were, and yes, it was written close to 2,000 years ago. 00:01:55.629 --> 00:01:57.085 James was the Lord's brother. 00:01:57.085 --> 00:01:57.843 How many of you know? 00:01:57.843 --> 00:01:59.340 The Lord's brother knew something about. 00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:02.725 You know he was one of the ones that doubted his brother originally. 00:02:02.725 --> 00:02:09.241 He came to become a believer and really James was the pastor of the church at Jerusalem, not Peter. 00:02:09.241 --> 00:02:24.491 I know that'll blow some of your Catholic minds, but Peter was not the pastor and he was not the pope, but James was the pastor of the church at Jerusalem and so he talked about that. 00:02:24.491 --> 00:02:27.819 God is patient for the precious fruit of the earth. 00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:28.858 He talks about the end times. 00:02:28.858 --> 00:02:30.807 He talks about the end time gathering. 00:02:30.807 --> 00:02:49.086 We're living right at the beginning, I believe, of the greatest move of God this world has ever seen, because I know God is a great farmer, I know he knows how to plant a seed and reap a harvest, and so my confidence is not in what I see with my natural eyes. 00:02:49.086 --> 00:03:03.587 I mean when you read the news and you listen to the, you watch the television and all the garbage that you see politically and socially and so forth, and so the lawlessness and all the crime, and you know, we could dedicate ourselves to that. 00:03:03.587 --> 00:03:07.189 No, no, beyond that, god is on the move. 00:03:07.189 --> 00:03:09.264 I want you to see it, I want you to know it. 00:03:09.264 --> 00:03:16.286 And so here he's, talking about prayer making tremendous power. 00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:23.540 Remember, a couple of weeks ago we had the Hankins brother. 00:03:23.540 --> 00:03:51.747 Mark and Trinna Hankins were here and he was teaching Sunday morning two weeks ago about the Ephesian prayers, ephesians chapter one and chapter two, and also Ephesians chapter three, and how dad Hagan, brother Kenneth E Hagan, years ago, was encouraging his disciples and he said you know, if you'll read these, if you'll pray these prayers once, at least once a day, and better twice a day, for six months, the Bible will become a different book. 00:03:51.747 --> 00:03:54.908 For you See, that prayer opens things up. 00:03:54.908 --> 00:04:04.288 You begin to see what you haven't seen, you begin to hear what you haven't heard, you begin to know what you haven't known and then, all of a sudden, then you will know what to do. 00:04:04.288 --> 00:04:06.867 I mean, that demands a response. 00:04:06.867 --> 00:04:10.046 There's always a response that we need. 00:04:10.046 --> 00:04:11.022 There's a due list. 00:04:11.022 --> 00:04:13.610 You know, we like to give God a due list. 00:04:13.610 --> 00:04:15.346 Well, he wants to give us one amen. 00:04:15.346 --> 00:04:18.889 And so the tremendous power available through prayer. 00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:29.807 And of course, when I read that maybe you don't read your Bible the same way, but I think about the contrary of that is that when there is no prayer, there is a huge power vacuum. 00:04:29.807 --> 00:04:33.708 There leaves a power vacuum. 00:04:33.708 --> 00:04:35.466 That's what's going on in our country. 00:04:35.466 --> 00:04:40.670 We have no leadership, we have a feckless leader and he's not leading. 00:04:40.670 --> 00:04:44.583 You know, somebody else behind the scenes is calling the shots. 00:04:44.583 --> 00:04:47.065 He's not mentally able to lead anything. 00:04:47.065 --> 00:04:49.925 He can't remember his name half the time. 00:04:49.925 --> 00:04:51.884 Oh, you're being so harsh. 00:04:51.884 --> 00:04:52.942 Well, I'm just being real. 00:04:52.942 --> 00:04:55.908 I mean, in other words, so there is a power vacuum. 00:04:55.908 --> 00:05:05.165 That's one of the reasons why the devil has come and he has occupied the power where the church hasn't provided for that power to be released. 00:05:05.165 --> 00:05:11.744 Amen, you know, the devil knows how to occupy a power vacuum and he has his own power. 00:05:11.744 --> 00:05:14.021 Listen, the power of God is greater than the power of the devil. 00:05:14.021 --> 00:05:18.908 The power of God is greater than nuclear power, political power, any other kind of power you can think of. 00:05:18.908 --> 00:05:20.786 God's power is greater. 00:05:22.579 --> 00:05:28.603 And so John Wesley, the great Methodist, you know the originator of Methodist, the Methodist revival. 00:05:28.603 --> 00:05:32.204 He said it seems that God is limited by our prayer life. 00:05:32.204 --> 00:05:35.766 He can't do anything for humanity unless someone asks him. 00:05:35.766 --> 00:05:37.512 Now, why is that? 00:05:37.512 --> 00:05:42.165 I mean, you know well, god, just he put man in charge. 00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:50.206 When Jesus rose from the dead, he told his disciples all power, all authority, and heaven and earth has given unto me. 00:05:50.206 --> 00:05:51.362 Go ye. 00:05:51.362 --> 00:05:54.129 Therefore, he delegated his authority. 00:05:54.129 --> 00:05:58.745 God's authority has been delegated to who, it's been delegated to the church. 00:05:58.745 --> 00:06:11.786 So then, when we don't release that authority in our prayer life, when we don't find out from God what it is that we should be praying about and saying, well, then there's a power vacuum. 00:06:11.786 --> 00:06:15.923 And so we've been talking about this the last couple of weeks. 00:06:15.983 --> 00:06:18.362 James, chapter four, verse, just a chapter. 00:06:18.362 --> 00:06:27.007 Right before that, james, again, he says in the second part of verse two you have not because you ask not. 00:06:27.007 --> 00:06:36.067 You ask and receive not because you ask amiss that you may consume it upon your lust. 00:06:36.067 --> 00:06:36.762 What does that mean? 00:06:36.762 --> 00:06:46.086 It means that we pray out of our emotions, we pray out of our need, we pray carnally, we pray according to the flesh. 00:06:46.086 --> 00:06:46.942 You know, I think about. 00:06:47.584 --> 00:06:57.668 Brother Hagen tells a story about this farmer back in the tornado alley there I don't know if it was Iowa or Oklahoma somewhere and a big old tornado is headed their way. 00:06:57.668 --> 00:07:05.148 You know, back in those places they've got shelters they go into, go to the ground and they protect themselves from those tornadoes. 00:07:05.148 --> 00:07:07.745 And so he's got his livestock. 00:07:07.745 --> 00:07:08.649 He's trying to run. 00:07:08.649 --> 00:07:23.687 He's trying to this thing is bearing down on the farm and he's running over there and it's getting pretty late and that thing is right there and a pasture with him and he drops to his knees and starts crying out to God and everything and his son. 00:07:23.687 --> 00:07:28.826 You know, his son was a little slower, you know, but his son said oh, paul, god don't hear. 00:07:28.826 --> 00:07:30.151 No scared prayers. 00:07:30.151 --> 00:07:40.742 You know, a lot of our prayers are nothing but scared prayers, you know, and we need to learn how to make our prayers effective. 00:07:40.742 --> 00:07:41.425 Amen. 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:50.548 And so we talked about this last week and if you weren't listening to me last week or you weren't here, we have a podcast. 00:07:50.548 --> 00:07:55.843 You know, pastor John Griner, also Glorious Way Church, and we're on your. 00:07:55.843 --> 00:07:59.244 You can subscribe to our podcast and get all these messages. 00:07:59.244 --> 00:08:02.884 But last week we talked about that prayer is not trying to get God's attention. 00:08:02.884 --> 00:08:04.565 Hey, god don't forget me. 00:08:04.565 --> 00:08:06.004 Well, he hadn't forgot you. 00:08:06.004 --> 00:08:07.545 He knows who you are and where you are. 00:08:07.545 --> 00:08:11.365 All things are naked and open under him, with whom we have to do. 00:08:11.365 --> 00:08:14.843 He knows you, he knows your address, you don't have to get his attention. 00:08:14.843 --> 00:08:18.689 And prayer is not trying to get him to do something. 00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:22.687 See, a lot of people just think well, I got to catch God when he's in a good mood. 00:08:22.687 --> 00:08:31.749 Maybe he's in a good mood today, maybe he'll say yes, look, all the promises of God in him are yes, and in him, amen to the glory of God, the Father. 00:08:31.749 --> 00:08:39.767 When you have a relationship with him that's what prayer is is communicating with God, two way communication, by the way. 00:08:39.767 --> 00:08:42.865 And prayer is fellowship with God. 00:08:42.865 --> 00:08:46.368 Prayer is intimacy with God. 00:08:46.368 --> 00:08:53.006 Into me, see, you know, when you spend time with God, I mean you know you just get open. 00:08:53.006 --> 00:08:54.264 He knows it anyway. 00:08:54.264 --> 00:08:55.788 So it's good for us just to yield. 00:08:55.788 --> 00:09:00.561 We just open the doors of our heart and let him in, amen. 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:16.967 So the result of word-based, spirit-led prayer is tremendous power being released for our benefit and the benefit of those for whom we pray, and that power is resurrection power. 00:09:16.967 --> 00:09:19.592 It's the same power that raised Christ from the dead. 00:09:19.592 --> 00:09:29.447 It's the same power that raised us from the dead, brought us out of darkness into light, out of sin and into righteousness, and set us at his right hand. 00:09:29.447 --> 00:09:31.160 All right. 00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:35.945 So today I wanna shift on down and keep moving, because we've got today. 00:09:35.945 --> 00:09:42.967 In two more weeks I wanna do this four weeks to help you develop your prayer life, because this is the year of momentum. 00:09:42.967 --> 00:09:53.067 The last year, 2023, was a year of God's power and really when you look at power and momentum, they really mean the same thing. 00:09:53.139 --> 00:09:57.191 But momentum has with it the idea of movement. 00:09:57.191 --> 00:10:00.485 It has to do with movement. 00:10:00.485 --> 00:10:06.033 In other words, momentum is force times velocity. 00:10:06.033 --> 00:10:10.167 Everybody say force times velocity. 00:10:10.167 --> 00:10:13.748 See, I mean, I learned that mechanical engineering. 00:10:13.748 --> 00:10:15.264 Okay, I learned that in physics. 00:10:15.264 --> 00:10:17.246 Maybe you learned that once upon a time. 00:10:17.246 --> 00:10:22.306 You might have forgotten, but you know you can weigh 400 pounds, but if you're not moving you don't have any momentum. 00:10:23.900 --> 00:10:25.566 I saw this lineman the other day. 00:10:25.566 --> 00:10:31.200 He's listed on the I forgot what team he put professional football player weighs 350. 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.227 And but he looks more like 400. 00:10:33.227 --> 00:10:36.226 I mean he's fat, I mean he's, he's huge. 00:10:36.226 --> 00:10:43.688 He does not look like a football player, he looks like maybe the guy that won the hot dog eating contest at the Coney Island. 00:10:43.688 --> 00:10:47.650 But anyway, I mean, yeah, I mean he's standing in the hole. 00:10:47.650 --> 00:10:48.705 You gotta run around him. 00:10:48.705 --> 00:10:50.884 If he sticks an arm out he might knock you down. 00:10:50.884 --> 00:10:53.008 But I mean, as far as momentum, he's not moving. 00:10:53.008 --> 00:10:54.243 So he has no momentum. 00:10:54.243 --> 00:10:56.509 Say because, why? 00:10:56.509 --> 00:10:57.928 Because there's no velocity. 00:10:57.928 --> 00:11:01.565 Oh, I tell you, right now things are picking up. 00:11:01.565 --> 00:11:06.981 The church is gaining momentum, it's gaining numbers, it's gaining velocity. 00:11:06.981 --> 00:11:11.436 I mean, you know, things are happening this year, all right. 00:11:11.515 --> 00:11:13.523 So let's look at Luke 18. 00:11:13.523 --> 00:11:20.418 And let's look at what Jesus had to say, luke 18. 00:11:20.418 --> 00:11:27.731 Now he's talking there about the end days. 00:11:27.731 --> 00:11:39.663 If you read the early part of the chapter before that, he's talking about as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man. 00:11:39.663 --> 00:11:42.020 What happened in the days of Noah? 00:11:42.020 --> 00:11:43.580 The earth was filled with violence. 00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:50.102 As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man? 00:11:50.102 --> 00:12:02.601 Or what was happening in the days of Lot, sodom and Gomorrah and the LGBTQ plus plus P, found out that God's not on their side. 00:12:02.601 --> 00:12:05.039 He's still not on their side. 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.240 He loves them, the gospel is to them. 00:12:10.215 --> 00:12:13.043 But that behavior is an abomination to God. 00:12:13.043 --> 00:12:16.105 It's time the church just say so You're a hater. 00:12:16.105 --> 00:12:19.182 Well, I hate that activity because God hates it. 00:12:19.182 --> 00:12:22.235 I don't hate the people doing it. 00:12:22.235 --> 00:12:23.600 I hate what they're doing. 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.260 I hate how that they are so proud of it. 00:12:27.260 --> 00:12:31.448 You're a hater. 00:12:31.448 --> 00:12:33.282 Oh yeah, I guess I am sort of a hater. 00:12:33.282 --> 00:12:38.740 Yeah, it's kind of like Trump said you know, yeah, I'm gonna be a dictator for the first few hours. 00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.899 Oh, they went crazy. 00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:44.264 He just meant executive orders, is all he meant. 00:12:44.264 --> 00:12:45.416 You know? 00:12:45.416 --> 00:12:49.546 All right, luke 18, have you found it? 00:12:51.634 --> 00:12:55.522 And he now this is Jesus talking to this group and he's been talking about the end days. 00:12:55.522 --> 00:13:06.322 He's been talking about how it's gonna be when he comes back and he's spake a parable under them to this end that men ought always to pray and not to faint. 00:13:06.322 --> 00:13:12.048 You're always to pray and not to faint. 00:13:12.048 --> 00:13:17.046 The word faint means to turn coward, lose heart and give up. 00:13:17.046 --> 00:13:20.224 Now is not the time to be a coward. 00:13:20.224 --> 00:13:27.184 Now is not the time to hide behind your blessed assurance in the church house and don't say anything. 00:13:27.184 --> 00:13:29.360 No, we're taking this to the state capitals. 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:35.519 Amen, they're gonna hear the grass, they're gonna hear from the grass roots. 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:43.019 Always to pray and not to turn coward, lose heart or give up. 00:13:44.274 --> 00:13:45.658 Saying verse two. 00:13:45.658 --> 00:13:50.163 Then he you know he there wasn't a city. 00:13:50.163 --> 00:13:51.240 So this is a parable. 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.279 He spoke a parable. 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.500 See, it wasn't an exact, you know, it wasn't a particular person. 00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:57.121 It's a parable. 00:13:57.121 --> 00:14:02.837 There wasn't a city, a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man. 00:14:02.878 --> 00:14:19.082 I think Obama appointed him and no, it doesn't say that I'm just and there was a widow in that city and she came unto him saying avenge me of mine adversary. 00:14:19.082 --> 00:14:25.464 And he would not for a while, but afterwards, after what? 00:14:25.464 --> 00:14:34.142 After she had come and she had been insistent, say you know, she came unto him saying saying is having a systematic discourse. 00:14:34.142 --> 00:14:36.139 It's the Greek word Lego. 00:14:36.139 --> 00:14:37.684 It means keep on saying. 00:14:37.684 --> 00:14:38.977 She kept on coming. 00:14:38.977 --> 00:14:45.456 She kept on coming into his court and saying I know what the law says Buster, I want to. 00:14:45.456 --> 00:14:47.585 I want this person punished. 00:14:47.585 --> 00:14:49.241 They committed a crime against me. 00:14:49.241 --> 00:14:50.219 This is the crime. 00:14:50.219 --> 00:14:53.220 Here's what he did, this is what happened. 00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:55.261 I want satisfaction. 00:14:55.261 --> 00:14:57.441 That's what you're here to do, isn't it? 00:14:57.441 --> 00:15:01.485 Aren't you the minister of God for righteousness? 00:15:01.485 --> 00:15:03.623 Aren't you here to punish evildoers? 00:15:03.623 --> 00:15:05.662 I think we forgot about the word punish. 00:15:05.662 --> 00:15:08.720 It's in the Bible, folks. 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:14.620 Well, I digress, let's stick with what Jesus is saying. 00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:16.961 So he would not for a while. 00:15:16.961 --> 00:15:17.984 Why? 00:15:17.984 --> 00:15:20.221 Because he didn't fear God and he didn't regard man. 00:15:20.221 --> 00:15:21.942 That's why he's fully, fully of himself. 00:15:21.942 --> 00:15:29.764 We've got lots of those kind of judges everywhere, some up on the Supreme court to our shame. 00:15:29.764 --> 00:15:31.268 And why? 00:15:31.268 --> 00:15:33.081 Because the church wasn't praying. 00:15:33.081 --> 00:15:35.182 Okay, I'm getting off again, I'm sorry. 00:15:35.182 --> 00:15:41.642 He said within himself self. 00:15:41.642 --> 00:15:46.618 I will avenge her Changed his mind. 00:15:46.618 --> 00:15:55.082 I will avenge her, lest, by her continual coming, she weary me, she's wearing me out. 00:15:55.082 --> 00:15:59.539 Weary me, she's wearying me. 00:15:59.539 --> 00:16:03.399 Well, what does weary mean? 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.144 Well, it means to take hold and to chop. 00:16:07.144 --> 00:16:14.744 I just have an idea of this woman grabbing him by the neck, pulling him in here like this and going bam bam, bam bam. 00:16:14.744 --> 00:16:17.659 That's literally the Greek. 00:16:17.659 --> 00:16:20.784 It means to beat black and blue. 00:16:20.784 --> 00:16:24.235 Aren't you glad for a concordance? 00:16:24.235 --> 00:16:30.880 It can tell you see, I'm not a Greek scholar, but I can read what the Greek scholars tell me these words mean. 00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:33.475 Now, we know it's not a physical beating. 00:16:33.475 --> 00:16:43.294 We just know that men, as your wife ever beat you up with her tongue, I mean you know women have a gift of being able to just make you feel like nothing. 00:16:43.294 --> 00:16:48.187 You can chop your legs out from under you. 00:16:48.187 --> 00:16:52.311 That's kind of how this judge, just judge. 00:16:52.311 --> 00:16:54.282 Changing this woman changed his mind. 00:16:54.282 --> 00:16:55.038 I mean she. 00:16:55.038 --> 00:16:55.821 You know what. 00:16:55.821 --> 00:16:57.634 I gotta get rid of this lady. 00:16:57.634 --> 00:16:59.341 She's not gonna leave me alone. 00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:02.703 I mean, I'm tired of watching her walk in here. 00:17:02.703 --> 00:17:03.941 Let's get this done. 00:17:03.941 --> 00:17:05.903 Let's go ahead and avenge her of her adversary. 00:17:05.903 --> 00:17:22.344 And the Lord said hear what the unjust judge saith, and shall not God avenge his own elect, which cried day and night before him? 00:17:22.344 --> 00:17:30.886 Though he bear along with them, I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. 00:17:30.886 --> 00:17:35.602 Nevertheless, when the son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth? 00:17:35.602 --> 00:17:38.454 So see, faith never quits. 00:17:38.454 --> 00:17:45.782 Faith never turns coward, faith never gives up, faith keeps coming. 00:17:45.782 --> 00:17:48.874 Now I want you to hear that. 00:17:48.874 --> 00:17:54.204 I mean, you know, we just, you can't just, and I'm not talking about give it to me, give it to me, give it to me right now. 00:17:54.204 --> 00:17:56.234 I'm not talking about asking over and over. 00:17:56.234 --> 00:18:06.115 I'm talking about your stand on your covenant comes up before God and it never leaves until you get what you're supposed to get. 00:18:06.115 --> 00:18:14.174 He wants you to have it, because when you pray correctly, you're only praying for what belongs to you. 00:18:14.174 --> 00:18:15.942 You're not praying for something else. 00:18:15.942 --> 00:18:23.338 You know, when you read about Junior and Bubba, who is that? 00:18:23.338 --> 00:18:25.535 Well, that's, you know the story of the prodigal son. 00:18:25.535 --> 00:18:26.840 I call him Junior and Bubba. 00:18:26.840 --> 00:18:28.099 Bubba knew what was his. 00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:32.934 Bubba went to Daddy and said Daddy, give me the portion of goods that falleth unto me. 00:18:32.934 --> 00:18:34.515 I know Junior is your firstborn. 00:18:34.515 --> 00:18:35.839 He's got the double portion. 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.863 I don't need the double portion, I don't want his part, I just want my part. 00:18:39.863 --> 00:18:43.201 I don't you know, you're the one that knows what belongs to me. 00:18:43.201 --> 00:18:44.922 Give me what belongs to me. 00:18:44.922 --> 00:18:47.298 And Daddy wrote him a check, said here it is. 00:18:47.298 --> 00:18:49.255 And he knew he was going to blow it. 00:18:49.255 --> 00:18:50.065 He went out fair and blew it. 00:18:50.065 --> 00:18:50.794 Right. 00:18:50.794 --> 00:18:52.741 He wasted, wasted the whole thing. 00:18:52.741 --> 00:18:58.339 But when he came back, man, they had a party, music and dancing. 00:18:58.339 --> 00:19:07.645 They gave him the signet ring, new shoes for his feet and new cloak, restored full sunship to him, you know. 00:19:07.645 --> 00:19:10.941 But Junior was mad. 00:19:10.941 --> 00:19:13.063 Junior, junior, and I never left you. 00:19:13.063 --> 00:19:14.681 I've been here all this time. 00:19:14.681 --> 00:19:17.523 You never killed for me even a skinny goat. 00:19:17.523 --> 00:19:17.836 Here. 00:19:17.836 --> 00:19:32.708 You've got the fatted calf for him, you've got fajitas and you've got chalupas, reholas, refritos, guacamole. 00:19:32.708 --> 00:19:36.880 I'm getting hungry, let's break for lunch. 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:46.200 No, he said, son, all I have is yours, all I have is yours. 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:53.663 You haven't acted like it, you haven't appropriated it, you haven't made any kind of a demand on your sonship. 00:19:53.663 --> 00:20:01.625 You're out there branding the cattle with a higher to help, when you ought to be inside making the decisions and the family. 00:20:01.625 --> 00:20:03.261 Oh, this is what we belong. 00:20:03.261 --> 00:20:05.363 This is why we ought to have a prayer life. 00:20:05.363 --> 00:20:09.144 God wants us to step into our place of authority in this earth. 00:20:09.144 --> 00:20:11.913 Amen, florida, come on, lift your hands right now. 00:20:11.913 --> 00:20:12.878 Florida, come on. 00:20:12.878 --> 00:20:17.914 Hallelujah, you get ahold of these messages. 00:20:17.914 --> 00:20:21.540 It'll transform your prayer life, which will transform your life. 00:20:21.540 --> 00:20:24.160 This is what Jesus said. 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:30.000 Jesus said I didn't say it the faith doesn't quit. 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.973 When I come back, see, he's still getting on that. 00:20:32.973 --> 00:20:36.234 See, he didn't quit from 17 to 18. 00:20:36.234 --> 00:20:39.542 He said when I do come back, am I going to find any faith? 00:20:39.542 --> 00:20:43.661 Are you people going to get a grip on how to pray? 00:20:43.661 --> 00:20:53.130 You got to have at least much faith in this widow that came into that court and she beat the judge black and blue. 00:20:53.130 --> 00:20:55.630 You don't have to beat your heavenly father black and blue. 00:20:55.630 --> 00:20:58.859 He's not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love. 00:20:58.859 --> 00:21:00.517 He knows what belongs to you. 00:21:00.517 --> 00:21:03.579 He's ready to release it in your behalf. 00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:06.378 All you've got to do is know what belongs to you. 00:21:06.378 --> 00:21:08.854 Glory to God. 00:21:08.854 --> 00:21:11.136 Turn over to Isaiah real quick. 00:21:11.136 --> 00:21:16.614 So change your prayer life, change your life. 00:21:16.614 --> 00:21:24.489 Isaiah 43, 26. 00:21:24.489 --> 00:21:37.096 Put me in remembrance. 00:21:37.096 --> 00:21:39.396 This is God talking to Isaiah. 00:21:39.396 --> 00:21:42.096 Through Isaiah, put me in remembrance. 00:21:42.096 --> 00:21:45.696 Let us plead together. 00:21:45.696 --> 00:21:50.836 Declare thou that thou mayest be justified. 00:21:50.836 --> 00:21:53.935 Let us plead together. 00:21:53.935 --> 00:21:55.375 Plead does not mean beg. 00:21:55.375 --> 00:21:57.417 Plead means a pleading. 00:21:57.417 --> 00:22:00.960 It means a legal entreaty. 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:11.596 You know, the doofus for Colorado came before the Supreme court and he looked like a complete, utter fool. 00:22:11.596 --> 00:22:20.777 And all nine justices I mean they had hard questions for which he had no answers I mean he was the most embarrassing. 00:22:20.777 --> 00:22:21.953 Did you read the whole thing? 00:22:21.953 --> 00:22:26.997 You need to read the whole thing, because he had no basis in law to keep Trump off of the ballot. 00:22:26.997 --> 00:22:38.280 See, and that's just a lot of people that don't know how to pray, they don't know what belongs to them, they don't know their covenant, they don't know that Jesus already died for their healing. 00:22:38.280 --> 00:22:40.355 So they come before God. 00:22:40.355 --> 00:22:44.101 Oh God, heal me, the doctor, since I got three weeks to live. 00:22:44.101 --> 00:22:45.777 Oh God, I wanna live. 00:22:45.777 --> 00:22:47.075 Please help me. 00:22:47.075 --> 00:22:51.038 Oh my God, please See, you're not praying in line with the word. 00:22:51.038 --> 00:22:55.375 First of all, you don't even have to pray for healing because it's already been given to you. 00:22:55.375 --> 00:22:57.595 It's already happened. 00:22:57.595 --> 00:23:05.695 If you knew your covenant like you should 1 Peter, 2, 24, with his stripes, you were healed. 00:23:05.695 --> 00:23:07.252 Who is on seraph? 00:23:07.252 --> 00:23:13.775 By our sins and his own body on the tree, that we, being dead the sins, should live on the righteous by whose stripes he were healed, quoting Isaiah 53,. 00:23:13.775 --> 00:23:19.335 I mean, the Baptist know that that for salvation, but they forget about the part that talks about healing. 00:23:19.335 --> 00:23:22.336 They don't make the transfer a lot of times. 00:23:22.336 --> 00:23:22.477 Why? 00:23:22.477 --> 00:23:25.587 Cause they're never taught this right here. 00:23:25.587 --> 00:23:34.374 If you don't get taught something, if it doesn't come into your spirit, see, all healing is spiritual, it's not physical. 00:23:34.374 --> 00:23:36.978 The doctors can heal a flea. 00:23:36.978 --> 00:23:44.958 They give drugs to help your body do what it's designed to do, and some of the drugs will kill you. 00:23:44.958 --> 00:23:47.153 We already know that. 00:23:47.153 --> 00:23:52.810 So they've kind of departed from their original way. 00:23:52.810 --> 00:23:53.836 They used to doctor. 00:23:53.836 --> 00:24:02.913 I mean, you know, the old Jewish doctor would just you'd come into a Jewish doctor's office and then you know, I mean they believed in healing because they had healing in their covenant, jehovah Raphael. 00:24:02.913 --> 00:24:03.655 That's Jewish. 00:24:03.655 --> 00:24:08.414 We don't have to go to Jehovah Raphael, we've got Jesus. 00:24:08.414 --> 00:24:09.595 Jesus is him. 00:24:09.595 --> 00:24:12.536 Let's use the name of Jesus. 00:24:12.536 --> 00:24:14.777 Is faith in the name of Jesus? 00:24:14.777 --> 00:24:18.654 Let's get over in the New Testament? 00:24:18.654 --> 00:24:25.458 Oh, I tell you, we just the Old Testament's good, but it's just a shadow. 00:24:25.458 --> 00:24:27.695 We have the substance. 00:24:27.695 --> 00:24:32.695 Glory to God, he said. 00:24:32.695 --> 00:24:34.161 Put me in remembrance. 00:24:34.161 --> 00:24:41.901 You know God loves for you to come to him and say you know, lord, I got a bad report the other day. 00:24:41.901 --> 00:24:47.291 You know the doctor says I've got stage four cancer and I've got. 00:24:47.291 --> 00:24:51.432 You know he's given me just a few months to live and they've got some treatment they want to give me. 00:24:51.432 --> 00:24:57.498 They've got surgery, they've got radiation and they've got chemo and they've got a whole battery of things. 00:24:57.498 --> 00:25:00.791 But you know, lord, I know that what belongs to me is healing. 00:25:00.791 --> 00:25:09.315 Healing is mine and I just want to bring your word to you and I'm not sure exactly what my response will be to what they're wanting to do. 00:25:09.315 --> 00:25:13.609 But you know, lord, I just want to begin by knowing that. 00:25:13.609 --> 00:25:14.894 I want you to know that. 00:25:14.894 --> 00:25:17.721 I know that I am healed. 00:25:17.721 --> 00:25:22.394 Yeah, there's symptoms in my body, but I'm healed regardless. 00:25:22.394 --> 00:25:24.776 These symptoms are half to go. 00:25:24.776 --> 00:25:40.571 Let's say you're not begging God, you're putting him in remembrance, all this begging and whining and crying Amen. 00:25:40.571 --> 00:25:54.833 So you know, lord, if there's any other word you want to put in my mouth, I know all I need is one word from you, just one word. 00:25:54.833 --> 00:26:00.396 You know the syrophilician woman whose daughter was grievously vexed with a demon. 00:26:00.396 --> 00:26:01.976 She's not even a Jewish woman. 00:26:01.976 --> 00:26:03.476 She doesn't even have a covenant. 00:26:03.476 --> 00:26:10.117 She has no right to be there and she's troubling the, you know, she's troubling the disciples. 00:26:10.117 --> 00:26:11.695 Would you get rid of this lady? 00:26:11.695 --> 00:26:13.076 She's wearing us out. 00:26:13.076 --> 00:26:15.037 See, she was determined to get something. 00:26:15.037 --> 00:26:17.234 She knew Jesus was a healer. 00:26:17.234 --> 00:26:25.436 Her daughter was demonized and she knew regardless that he could make the difference and she was not to be denied. 00:26:25.436 --> 00:26:26.674 They tried to send her away. 00:26:26.674 --> 00:26:34.459 Finally, she got ahold of Jesus and you know she goes all to Jesus. 00:26:34.459 --> 00:26:38.136 Jesus, you know, I'm just sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 00:26:38.136 --> 00:26:41.575 It's not me to take the children's bread and cast it into dogs. 00:26:41.575 --> 00:26:43.295 I mean, he called her a dog. 00:26:43.295 --> 00:26:46.557 That's what Gentiles were to Jews. 00:26:46.557 --> 00:26:50.258 It sounded like Jesus didn't have any compassion. 00:26:50.258 --> 00:26:53.176 Well, he sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 00:26:53.176 --> 00:26:54.000 That's his ministry. 00:26:54.000 --> 00:27:02.094 His ministry is not to the Gentiles, but nevertheless she said truth, lord, but I don't need. 00:27:02.094 --> 00:27:03.357 I don't need any big. 00:27:03.357 --> 00:27:07.935 All I need is one crumb of the bread that you're talking about, that loaf of bread. 00:27:07.935 --> 00:27:10.778 I just need a crumb fall out of the corner of your mouth. 00:27:10.778 --> 00:27:12.195 That's enough for my daughter. 00:27:12.195 --> 00:27:15.633 So, old woman, greatest thy faith, go your way. 00:27:15.633 --> 00:27:17.538 Be it done unto thee, even as you will. 00:27:17.538 --> 00:27:19.978 Oh, how about, come on, lift your hands, like now. 00:27:19.978 --> 00:27:24.715 When you get one word from God, everything changes. 00:27:24.715 --> 00:27:26.915 That's what prayer is for. 00:27:26.915 --> 00:27:32.436 Prayer is for you to receive that Ramah word that you need to defeat the devil. 00:27:32.436 --> 00:27:35.458 Oh, you can quote the logos all day long. 00:27:35.458 --> 00:27:44.858 It's great to quote the logos, but you know, sometimes when you're in a hot and heavy battle, especially for your life, I'm telling you you need a Ramah word from God. 00:27:44.858 --> 00:27:47.356 Oh, come on, lift your hands right now. 00:27:47.356 --> 00:27:49.477 Well, I believe I receive a Ramah word. 00:27:49.477 --> 00:27:57.915 I can't count the times I've been in church and a Ramah word would fall out and I went to war with that thing. 00:27:57.915 --> 00:28:06.257 You know, you've got a whole Bible full of promises, you've got a whole Bible full of logos and you can just start reading the Bible. 00:28:06.257 --> 00:28:09.880 But when you get a Ramah word, now that's a different deal. 00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:17.403 God breathed Ramah means God breathed word, whew. 00:28:17.403 --> 00:28:23.321 One word in our mouth changes everything. 00:28:23.321 --> 00:28:27.894 Yes, it changes, changes the whole landscape. 00:28:27.894 --> 00:28:29.239 Look at Jeremiah. 00:28:29.239 --> 00:28:30.018 We were in Isaiah. 00:28:30.018 --> 00:28:30.910 Turn over Jeremiah. 00:28:30.910 --> 00:28:32.119 You get anything out of this today? 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:39.565 Yes, this is Jeremiah's testimony. 00:28:39.565 --> 00:28:42.494 Jeremiah 1, verse nine. 00:28:42.494 --> 00:28:46.980 Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth. 00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:53.961 And the Lord said unto me behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 00:28:53.961 --> 00:28:59.653 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms. 00:28:59.653 --> 00:29:01.419 To do what? 00:29:01.419 --> 00:29:07.230 To cooperate with the devil, to do whatever the government tells you to do. 00:29:07.230 --> 00:29:12.826 To close up during COVID, have social distancing in the middle of your sanctuary. 00:29:12.826 --> 00:29:15.750 Don't hug anybody, don't lay your hands on anybody. 00:29:15.750 --> 00:29:18.474 Let's all be afraid of COVID. 00:29:18.474 --> 00:29:23.143 The Wu hand flew, the pandemic. 00:29:23.143 --> 00:29:23.663 There's more coming. 00:29:23.663 --> 00:29:25.928 I said there's more coming. 00:29:25.928 --> 00:29:30.739 They've learned how to control society. 00:29:30.739 --> 00:29:31.780 They're going to do it again. 00:29:31.780 --> 00:29:33.625 Just wait, it's on the way. 00:29:33.625 --> 00:29:45.750 No, I've set you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms to root out and to pull down and to destroy and to throw down. 00:29:45.750 --> 00:29:47.824
