Hello, beautiful people, and welcome back to Faith Focused Prayers. Happy New Year. It is officially 2025, and the Lord is so good and gracious to get us through another year. I hope you guys are doing amazing on this January 1st, because I am. It has been a very restful day in the Lord.
Speaker 1:I'm currently on a water fast. I'm doing three days and today is day number two, and I'm standing strong because I really was intentional about bringing the new year in with God, bringing the new year in alignment, bringing the new year in God's will, and I know that if I want everything God has for me this year, it's going to require a different level of sacrifice and it's going to require a different level of discipline, remembering that fasting isn't for God. Fasting is for you to look more like God, to become more like God and to get in God's will. So I'm fasting for myself, but that's not what today's episode is about. Today's episode is about 2025 and we're going to pray over our 2025. We're going to pray God's hand over it.
Speaker 1:But I have a couple of questions. If you haven't already, please go and watch the previous episode where I talked about reflecting on your 2024, preparing for your 2025. If you did and you answered the questions in that video, then you should have answers to the questions I'm about to ask you. My first one is what is your word for 2025? What is your word? If you don't have a word, you need to go and pray and ask God God, what is my word? Because the moment you have that, then it will give you a sense of direction and where your year is headed, what God wants to do for you, how God wants to stretch you, how he wants to move in your life. So it's so important that you know the word for your 2025. The next thing I want you to get is what is your scripture? What is your scripture for 2025? Go to your Bible and ask God okay, what is my word and what scripture aligns with that? Or, god, what scripture are you applying to my 2025? Because that's going to come in handy.
Speaker 1:When you're down, when you need encouragement, when you need a push to keep going, when you need something to pick you up, when things get hard and things get rocky and shaky, you're going to need the scriptures, the living word, the word of God to pull you out of that place, and that's the only thing that can't return back void. God cannot lie. His word cannot lie. If he said it in the Bible, it is true and it must come to pass. And so it's so important Please do not neglect this to get a scripture for your 2025.
Speaker 1:It's going to help you and I want you to meditate on that scripture day and night, meditate on it, meditate on it. Meditate on it because God will honor his word. His word is what you bring back to him when we're praying prayers. His word is what makes the prayer effective, having the word in you, allowing it to move through you. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing of the word of God, the Bible. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus is the living word. Okay, so that's a lot, but I really encourage you please get a scripture for your 2025. Not what you want, not in. The heaven was opened and blessings came down. Hey, that may be your scripture for 2025, but make sure it's God giving it to you, not you just picking one, because of what you want God to do for you.
Speaker 1:And I want to ask you what are your intentions of 2025? Who do you want to be when this year ends? Who do you want to be? How do you want to grow? How do you want to change? How do you want to evolve Like from who you are now to who you hope you are, who you hope to be at the end of 2025, what does that look like for you, and are your expectations realistic? Are they too low? Are your standards too low on the ground? Do you need to raise them up? Do you need to call yourself to higher? Stretch yourself more. What are your intentions? Who do you want to be and where is that aligning? Is it practical? Is it doable? Is it too easy? Like at the end of January, you were already that person. You didn't stretch yourself at all. That's not what we want. We want to elevate this year.
Speaker 1:I was at church yesterday for the New Year's service and when I was driving there, I heard the word elevate and God was saying elevate your expectations of God. And then, once I got to church, the first lady was asking me, like do you have a word? And I'm like no, but then God reminded me. I literally told you a word in the car. I thought that word was just for me. It turned out it was a word for everybody. But he was saying elevate. Elevate your expectations, elevate your personality, elevate who you are, elevate your standards, what you allow yourself to go through, elevate. Elevate every area of your life your health, your mental health, your wellness, your finances, your businesses.
Speaker 1:This is the year to change and I feel it more so than ever. Like you can just feel the shift and I feel like you're either on one end or the other. You're either on doom and gloom or you're on new hope, new season, and for me, this is a new hope and a new season. We just walked into a new season and it's so important to draw closer to God in this time than ever before. Because if you do, if you draw close to God, if you're intentional about your pursuit with God, then God is going to take care of you. God is going to be there for you. He is your shelter, he is your strong tower, he is your hiding place, and God is going to keep his word and he's going to protect his children. He's a good father, he's a great father, he's the best father, and so just don't miss out on what's taking place in the spiritual realm and be so caught up in your earthly desires and your earthly circumstances in feeding your flesh that you miss completely out on the opportunity to receive something supernatural. God is still in the miracle business. He's still doing signs, miracles and wonders. He's still pouring out blessings.
Speaker 1:God is not in lack Just because the whole world may be saying there's a famine and you know we have inflection Is that the right word? My mind is going blank. But the increase in prices and everything is more expensive, the cost of living is higher, the pay is lower just because we're experiencing all those things on earth doesn't mean God has lacked. God owns the earth. The earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. So if God decided at this moment that I want to bless you, he has all the resources and means to do so. So don't allow what the world is going through to reflect who you think God is. God did not lose anything. He has never lost and he never will. And he is not in lack of anything. Everything belongs to him, everything, it says. My father owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He owns it all. Everything belongs to the Lord. So be in his will and be aligned with him and walk with him, holding his arm, and he will take care of you. He will, and I just feel that so strongly.
Speaker 1:I was reading Psalms 81 yesterday and this stuck out to me Psalms 81, six through seven. It says I removed the burden from their shoulders. Their hands were set free from the basket. In your distress, you called and I answered oh no, in your distress, you called and I rescued you. I answered you out of a thundercloud and I just love that, because God did for the children of Israel. He rescued them out of Egypt, out of bondage, out of slavery.
Speaker 1:And I don't know who this is for, who's listening to this? But if you are bound by something, if you are enslaved to sin, god is the one who rescues you. God is the one who removes the burden off of our shoulders. When things are weighing us down and weighing heavy on us, god is the one who removes them. And I just believe that, for one of you who are listening, that this is your portion, that God is removing the burden off of your shoulders and he's removing your hands from whatever is keeping you bound and enslaved, whatever has you bound up by sin, toxic cycles and things you keep going back to and you keep trying to get free from it, but then something pulls you back in. I just pray for you right now and I pray that the Lord would remove your hands from that basket. Whatever you keep putting your hands to, that is not good for you, that is toxic for you, but it's not good for your body. I just pray right now that the Lord would remove your hands from that basket. In your distress, you called and I rescued you. Lord, we thank you that you hear our calls, you hear our cries and you rescue us. You're a resc rescuer. You're our hero. God is your hero and he wants to be your hero.
Speaker 1:God takes pride. If you read the Bible, god takes pride in the way that he showed up for his children, the way he rescued the children of Israel, the way he got them out of bondage and slavery and the way he got them through the wilderness, the way he got them through the promised land, one battle after another battle. God takes pride in that. And so how much more you know is God going to take pride in being my safety and being my strong tower and being your strong tower, says I answered you out of a thundercloud. How many of you feel like it's just been raining and raining and raining down on you? How they say raining on your parade that every time you try to take a step forward, something ends up pushing you back. Every time you try to get ahead, it rains down on your joy, it rains down on your happiness. But God answered you out of a thundercloud and he wants to answer you out of the thundercloud of a thundercloud. And he wants to answer you out of the thundercloud when, instead of rain of sorrow and sickness and disease and sadness, god wants to rain down blessings and healings and miracles and mercy. He's so good.
Speaker 1:So let's just get into prayer.
Speaker 1:Let's pray right now.
Speaker 1:The first thing I want to pray for is your purpose, god. First, we just thank you and we bless you and we praise you. We thank you for being so loving and so kind and so gentle and so merciful. You are so holy and righteous and perfect God. You are the God of detail, my hero, my father, my safety, my provider, my keeper. God, lord, we thank you for every blessing that you have bestowed upon us. We thank you, god, and right now, lord, I just pray for the person listening to this God and pray for myself, god, that in this year 2025, we would walk in purpose.
Speaker 1:God, I pray that you would reveal to us what our purpose is, god, what you have placed us here on earth to do, what problem we were here to solve, god, and I just pray that you help us to fulfill our purpose, god, god, I pray that you would give us the grace to do it and the grace to achieve it, that you would pour out a new measure of grace, Father, that your mercies and your grace is renewed every morning. We thank you for the grace that you gave us to fulfill our purpose for this day, no matter how big or how small, god, help us to always walk in purpose, to live out our purpose, god, and to not be wasted potential. Father. We don't want to be wasted potential. We want to reach our full potential. Father, we don't want to be wasted potential. We want to reach our full potential, god, we don't want to get to heaven and see all the things that we could have done, that we should have done, that you graced us for, because that's the thing with God If you get to heaven and God shows you this is all that I had for you to do, that means here on earth, you were already graced for it. God just brought that to me and that blows my mind. If God had a plan for you, that means he gave you the grace to achieve it. So if we're not achieving it, that's simply out of our own flesh, because you were already graced for it.
Speaker 1:My goodness, when people have a mantle on their life, god gives them the grace that goes with the mantle. And so when you have a purpose and a calling on your life, god gives you the grace to go with that purpose and the grace to go with that calling. He doesn't just throw us out to the wolves and give us a task that he knows we can't achieve. What's impossible for man is possible with God, and he gives us the grace for our purpose. So, whatever your purpose is and this is me ministering to myself whatever your purpose is and you think I don't know how I'm going to be able to do that, just me. I'm shy, I'm scared, I'm this, I'm that, I'm insecure. Whatever it is, I don't have the resources, I don't have the finances. God has graced you and there's nothing that can get in the way of that grace besides you. You're the only one who can stop the grace. Lord, god, okay, that was just so good to me.
Speaker 1:And when I was talking about wasted potential. When I was in college for my associate's degree, I want to say this was maybe my first year or second year of college I wrote a paper on I think we had to write a paper on our biggest fear, and, and my biggest fear was wasted potential. It scares me, to think, because I know what I'm capable of, I know who God has put me on this earth to be, and it's so far from who I am right now. It feels so far actually, because I am that person and I do have the grace and I am capable. But my biggest fear is wasted potential, that when I die I won't, I wouldn't have achieved all the things that I could have achieved, that I had all these gifts and talents inside me and never got to use them, never got to help people, never got to change the world, and so that's my biggest and it's just so funny that that's what came to my memory just now, because that's still my biggest fear. And what can keep me from fulfilling all of those things? Myself Lack of discipline, lack of consistency, lack of boldness.
Speaker 1:The next thing I want to pray for is safety, lord. I pray over every person listening to this. I pray over myself, god, our loved ones, our family, our children, our parents, god, our grandparents, our friends, father, I pray for safety, god, that every person under the sound of my voice, god, that you would wrap them in your arms and that you would keep them safe. God, I pray Psalms 91 over them that says he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the Lord. He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. God, we just say and we place you in our life now as our refuge and our fortress.
Speaker 1:God, you are our protector, father, our strong tower, our fortress God, you are our protector Father, our strong tower, our safety God, it says. Surely he will save you from the ferrous now and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge, lord, we thank you that we find refuge under your wings, god. We thank you that you keep us safe from every deadly pestilence, god, every sickness and every disease, father, that would try to come after our life and try to kill us, god, and try to destroy us, father. We pray up against it now, god, and we thank you that you cover us, father, that you hide us. Lord, his faithfulness will be your shield and your rampart.
Speaker 1:God, thank you for being our shield. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand, but it will not come near you. So, no matter what's going on in the world, god, we thank you that it will not come near us, father. A thousand at my side and 10,000 at my right hand, god, but it will not impact me because I am hidden in your shadow, father. I am hidden under your wings, god. I am covered by you, concealed by you. God, you will only absorb with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
Speaker 1:Thank you, lord, that you are the one who punishes our enemies. Father, we don't have to get revenge, god. We don't have to go after anybody because we know we have a God who wars on our behalf. We serve a God who fights for his children and fights for his people, and we don't have to do the work, god. We only have to sit back and watch you handle our enemies.
Speaker 1:Thank you, lord, that you are a God who goes before us. If you say the Lord is my refuge and you make the most high your dwelling plane, and you make the most high your dwelling, no harm will overtake you. Thank you, jesus. If you say the Lord is my refuge, god, we say you are our refuge, the Lord is my refuge, the Lord is my refuge and you make the most high your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent, for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. God, I thank you that you have given your angels the command to guard us, every person listening to this God, that we are guarded by your angels, father, thank you, lord, that you have given them a command to watch over me. Thank you, lord. They will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra and you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
Speaker 1:Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him, I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him With long life. I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. That is so good and show him my salvation. That is so good. God says. Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him, I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him with long life. I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. That is a promise for those who love the Lord, those who call on the Lord. He says I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. That is a promise for those who love the Lord, those who call on the Lord. He says I will, I will do this and I will do that, and I will do that because they love me. There is a reward for loving God and that reward is safety and and protection and covering and deliverance. And he answers your prayers. When you love God and you're in trouble, he rescues you. When you love God and you call on him, he hears you and he answers you. Your prayers don't go unanswered. He hears you and he sees you go unanswered. He hears you and he sees you.
Speaker 1:God, I pray for boldness for me and the person listening to this. God. Boldness to spread the good news. Boldness to teach your word. God. Boldness to be genuine and authentic in our walk. God boldness, father, to walk in our identity with boldness. God that I know that there's no one else on the earth like me and there's no one on the earth like you, and I pray that the Lord would give you boldness in 2025. Boldness to walk in every door that the Lord has already opened for you. Boldness to speak and to open your mouth. Ephesians 6 says, and I pray that you have boldness to speak as you ought to speak. I pray for boldness. Boldness over myself to stay on course. Boldness to keep my hand on the plow. Boldness to post. Boldness to show up for myself. Boldness. Boldness among those that we will not be timid, we will not be hidden, we will not be taking the back seat any longer, but that we have boldness. Boldness in my walk, boldness in my love for God, that everything I do, let it be done in boldness, let it be humble and genuine and authentic in Jesus' mighty name.
Speaker 1:Next, I want to pray for commitment to God, lord, I pray that we would stay committed to you in 2025. Committed to you and you alone, god. That every other idol serving in our life, god, every idol that we have in our life, god, that it would be put down now in the name of Jesus, but that we would be committed, fully, sold out for you. Lord, let this be the year of commitment 2025, us committed to God 2025, letting go of every other idol in our life, god and God, I ask that you would reveal the idols, god. Reveal the idols, whether that's people, whether that's money, whether that's a sin, whatever it may be, god, whatever is an idol in our life, god, I pray that you would just reveal it to us now and that we would have the strength to put it down, god, and then we would commit to you.
Speaker 1:Lord, we repent for every idol, god. We repent for everything we have put above you. We repent for everything that we have been serving God, whether it be money, father, people, relationships, friendships, anything, everything, everything that is not you, god, that we have raised up on a pedestal. We knock it down now in the name of Jesus, and we establish our commitment to you. We are committed to you, god. We are committed to your will, we are committed to your plans. We are committed to what you have for us, god, and ultimately, god. If you don't do anything else, we're committed to you because you've done enough and you are enough. You're more than enough, god. You're more than enough. All the blessings and the favor and the protection, everything you do for us is extra, it's bonus. But you, god, who you are, is worthy of honor and worthy of praise. The creator of the universe, the one who brought us to life, the one who gives us the breath in our lungs that, every time we breathe, it's a reminder of your faithfulness. It's a reminder of your love. The same way you're committed to us, god, we are committed to you. The same way you're committed to us, god, we are committed to you.
Speaker 1:And another thing I want to pray for is love. We need love in this world. We need to love one another. We need to first love God with all our heart, all our mind and all our soul, but we need to love each other. God, I pray for greater measures of love. Help us, lord, to love ourselves the way that you love us, and to love others as we love ourselves. That those are the greatest commandments, god, to love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, father. So help us to love you, god, the way that you want to be loved. Help us to love you, god, the way that you have called us to, the way that you have designed us to Help us to love you, god, the way that you want to be loved. Help us to love you, god, the way that you have called us to, the way that you have designed us to Help us to love you, god, that you would feel loved, god, that you would know you are loved by us, and show us what that love looks like.
Speaker 1:The Bible says to love him is to obey him. God wants obedience and that's love to him. Obedience is love to God. So, god, I pray for obedience that you would help us to obey you. Not even help, because when I was talking to God a lot of times he says I pray, god, help me, help me, help me. And God said choose to you. Keep saying help me First, that's acknowledging that you don't have it already. Second, stop asking for help and do it. I've already given you everything you need to do it. And he was talking to me, that he was telling me that, in the area of forgiveness, I always say God, help me to forgive, help me to forgive. And finally, I guess, after a couple of years of me praying the same prayer, god said do it, choose forgiveness.
Speaker 1:My mom always says love is an action word. You know, love is a choice. Choose forgiveness, choose obedience. Stop saying God, help me and choose it. He already helped you the first moment you prayed that prayer. He gave you everything you needed. Now choose that, walk in that.
Speaker 1:And so I pray that we choose love, the love of Christ, the sacrificial love. Excuse me, I had to sneeze Um. I want to pray for a greater prayer life and intimacy with God. One of the men at my church gave that word that God is calling us to intimacy. Intimacy is different from relationship, and so I pray that we have a greater prayer life, that you listening to this, that you have a desire for a greater prayer life in 2025, that in 2025, you pray more than you've ever prayed in all the years that you've been alive, that this is the year of prayer, that you wake up with prayer on your mind, you go to sleep with prayer on your mind.
Speaker 1:All throughout the day you're praying. It doesn't have to be long, it doesn't have to be extensive. I pray like I normally talk sometimes, sometimes I go deep, sometimes I'm very monotone, but pray to God, pray, pray, pray. Prayer changes things. Prayer is the thing that's going to get your answer from heaven. Prayer is the thing that's going to give you the revelation you need. Prayer is the thing that's going to give you the revelation you need. Prayer is the thing that's going to give you the instruction you need for the season that you're in the business you want to do. The answer's in prayer, the instructions are in prayer. The doors you know how you get those doors open Through prayer. The healing you want to see Through prayer, the miracles Through prayer. And so I pray for an increase in our prayer life.
Speaker 1:God, that I would pray more, that I would be devoted and committed to prayer. That prayer would be a desire, god, not a requirement, not something that I should do or not something that makes me feel guilty if I'm not doing, but that it's a desire, god. I pray for a deeper desire of prayer Prayer through the Holy Spirit, prayer in tongues, prayer in fasting, prayer. God, increase my desire for prayer and not just speaking, god, but listening. Help us to listen for your voice on a deeper level, god, to not just tell you everything that we want and we need and then we get up, but that we would sit with you in communion with you. In the name of Jesus, lord, I pray that you would silence the noise and the distractions. God, silence every voice that is speaking louder than you. God, every person who is speaking in our ear to get us off track. God, I pray that you would reveal every distraction and that you would silence every distraction.
Speaker 1:God, the distractions of the enemy, the distractions of people, the distractions of the flesh. God, that you would silence those distractions, father, so that I can keep my mind and my eyes and my heart set on you. God, the you would silence those distractions, father, so that I can keep my mind and my eyes and my heart set on you. God, the person listening to this. God, every distraction in their life, god, I ask that you would silence it now. Silence, the distractions of the enemy. Silence, the distractions of our flesh. God, the mind, noise and the chatter and what people are bringing to our doors. God, silence it. That people would start saying, oh, let me not bring that to her. Let me not bring that to him. I don't want to distract her. I don't want to throw her off course. I don't want to, I don't know, I shouldn't. That's unfruitful, that conversation is unfruitful. Let me not bring that distraction.
Speaker 1:Silence, god, and give us the discernment to know when a distraction is standing in front of us. Give us the discernment to know when someone is operating in the spirit of distraction. Give us the wisdom to know God when to step away from certain things that are a distraction and to keep our eyes on Jesus. God, I ask that you would remove every burden and blockage in our way, god, every burden that is weighing us down, every burden that is keeping us from feeling our purpose, every burden, god, that is on our shoulders, as you already said, god, that you are the one who removes it. And so I pray right now, god, that every blockage mental blockage, god, spiritual blockage, god, everything that is blocking our blessings, everything that is blocking our fruitfulness, everything that is blocking our harvest, I ask, lord, that you would remove it now. Father, remove every burden and blockage. We know, god, that some things are here for our growth, some things are here to produce patience, some things are here to produce faith, god. But every unnecessary blockage, father, that is not orchestrated by you, god, I ask that you would remove it. Every blockage of the enemy, god, remove it. God. Every burden of the enemy, god, remove it. God, in the name of Jesus and God, we give our burdens to you. You are the burden bearer, you are God, you said. Jesus said take my yoke. It's easy and light. So, god, we swap out all the things weighing us down and we take on you, jesus, our Savior and our Redeemer.
Speaker 1:I pray for influence, influence, god. I pray for greater levels of influence. The person listening to this myself. God. Influence in our lives, influence of those around us, god, greater levels of influence, god to influence others to Christ. God, give us the words to speak and the message to preach and the things to share and the prayers to pray to influence others positively. God, that we won't be a negative influence to those we love, that we won't be one of those who drag people down, but that we would be a positive influence and we would influence others back to Christ, people out in the world, people who are lost, people who are hurting. That we would be the influence in that area, the influence in the room to shine light onto Christ. God, help us to let our light so shine that, when people see us, they would glorify you in heaven.
Speaker 1:God, we pray that your will be done in our life. God, we pray that your plan would be done in our life. We thank you that you go before us. We thank you that you order our steps. We thank you, god, that you are with us and you are leading and guiding us every step of the way. God, help us to stay in alignment with your will. Help us to stay in alignment with your ways. Help us to stay in alignment with your will. Help us to stay in alignment with your ways. Help us to stay in alignment with your purpose. In Jesus' mighty name.
Speaker 1:God, the last thing I pray is that we would completely surrender to you in 2025. Now, god, we're already in 2025. So I pray that we don't have to wait, but that it happens now. God, we surrender to you now, in every area of our life. We surrender to you Everything. We surrender to you, god, you know all things. You are unlimited in wisdom and power and knowledge, and the best thing about you, god, is that you would hold no good thing from us. You can only be good, you can only be just, you can only be righteous, you can only be holy, god. So I trust you, lord, I trust your plan for me and so, with that, I completely surrender.
Speaker 1:I have faith in you, god, I have faith in what you're doing, I have faith in who you're calling me to be. I have faith in the stretching. I have faith, god, and who you're calling me to be. I have faith in the stretching. I have faith, god. I have faith in you as my father, as my Abba, father, as my provider, as my redeemer, as my banner, as my protector. I have faith in you, god. So I surrender every area of my life to you, god, everything, god, I give you permission of everything in my life, no matter what it looks like, no matter how hard it is, no matter how it feels.
Speaker 1:God, I thank you that you have graced us for this, you have built us for this, this you have built us for this, and that you give us new grace and mercy every morning. God, we love you, we bless you, we praise you, we honor you. We seal this prayer by faith. In the name of Jesus Christ and God, we ask that you would forgive us for all our sins, everything that we have committed, knowing and unknowing, in word and thought and action, every sin that we have committed against you, lord, against our body, our temple, god, we ask that you would forgive us and clean our hands and clean our heart and help us to be aligned with you In Jesus' name, amen, amen, amen. If you made it this far, god bless you. If this has helped you, I just ask that you would leave a review and share it with somebody.
Speaker 1:I pray that this year is your best year yet. I pray that 2025 causes you to stretch and grow in ways you didn't think possible. I pray that 2025 causes you to stretch and grow in ways you didn't think possible. I pray that 2025, the Lord blows your mind in the best way and that you look back on who you were in January, in December, and you are pleased, and, above all, that you know that God is pleased, because that's what it's all about At the end of the day.
Speaker 1:It's all about is God pleased with me? Is God pleased with who I am? Is God pleased with the things I do? Is God pleased with the way I live? And if the answer is no, and you're not okay with that? Do the work. Seek ye first. The kingdom of God and all his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. The more time you spend with God, the more your desires will begin to change, the more your heart will begin to change, the more your mind will begin to change. God is the one who does the work. You don't have to wait until you're clean, because you will never be clean compared to God. We're filthy rags compared to God. Even me today, I'm filthy compared to God in his holiness and purity. But you don't wait until you're together to come to God. You come to God and he gets you together. God loves you so much and I love you. Thank you for listening to this. Until next time, bye.
