Good evening and welcome back to Occar Let's Pray Ministries. I hope you all had a blessed Sunday. I hope you all got a word from the Lord. I hope you all felt his presence today. Amen. Today we're going to talk about the call to pray. Praying for healing, deliverance, and honest faith. I'm so glad you all came back and tuned in. And I invite God into this space right now. I pray that God speaks. I pray that God brings comfort and I pray that God brings joy. Amen. Let's take a moment together. No distractions, no pressure, just a space to reflect on something deeply personal and honestly something deeply needed. Today we're talking about the call to pray for healing and deliverance. I know what prayer can do. I know how God can heal each and every one of us. I know how God can deliver us and set us free. Amen. There's a thread that runs through scripture that keeps pulling us back to this simple truth. We are not meant to carry our pain, our struggles, or even our sins alone. One verse tells us confess your faults to one another and pray for one another that ye may be healed. Amen. There's something wrong about that. It's not just a suggestion, it's an invitation into a different kind of life. A life where we stop pretending, a life where we let people in. Because here's the truth healing often brings where honesty shows up, begins where honesty shows up. Not perfection, not having it all together, just honesty. And then there's this beautiful reminder: God is the one who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. Amen. Think about that for just one moment. God doesn't just forgive us, but he heals us. That means whatever you're carrying right now, whether it's something physical, emotional, or spiritual, you're not bringing it to someone indifferent. You're bringing it to a God who restores, that heals, and brings things all back together again. God can make you whole whatever you're going through. God is the one who can make you whole in your situations and your circumstances. God is the God who doesn't separate your pain into calegories and say, I handle this but not that. He sees all, he knows all, and he cares about everything that we're facing. And not just the things that we're facing, but also the things that our loved ones face each and every day. God truly does care. And then we look at the life of Jesus Christ, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed. Amen. That wasn't random, that was intentional. And we have to be intentional in our prayer, we have to be intentional with our thoughts. We need to be intentional when we come to the Lord, amen. Healing wasn't just something Jesus did, it revealed who He is. He moved toward brokenness, not away from it. He stepped into suffering, not around it. And that same power, that same heart hasn't disappeared in 2026. Amen. So what does this mean for us? It means we're called to participate, to pray, not just when it's convenient, but when it's necessary. To stand in the gap for people who are hurting, who is lost, who are frustrated, who can't even pray for themselves. We have to stand in the gap and pray for their healing and pray for their situations and their circumstances. Amen. We need to pray for them to believe that healing is still possible, that God is still in the blessing business. Even when we don't fully understand how it's going to happen, we truly still got to let people know that God is still in the blessing business. And guess, to ask for deliverance, we need to ask for deliverance for everybody who's going through something today. Because sometimes what we're dealing with isn't just surface level. Amen. Sometimes it's deeper than that. Sometimes it feels like something is holding us down, keeping us stuck, whispering lies. We've started to believe. And in this very moment, we need to understand that prayer becomes more than just words, it becomes a becomes a lifeline to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is why we should pray without ceasing. It says it in the Bible. We need to pray, pray, pray until we feel God come into the room. And we also need to be real in this very second. Praying like this with expectation, with vulnerability, with persistence. I know it can feel uncomfortable sometimes, but what if nothing happens? I want you to know you got to keep on praying. What if things don't change right away? I want you to keep on praying. Because that gives you something to hold on to. Prayer. Prayer gives us hope. Prayer gives us a lifeline to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Prayer is not about controlling outcomes, it's about connecting with God. And when that connection is real, something always shifts, even if it starts within us, right? So maybe today this is your next step or your first step. But be honest about what you need. Bring it, bring it into the light with God, and maybe with someone you trust and pray. Pray. You know there's a psalm that says, Come on in the room. Come on in the room. Jesus is my doctor. And he writes down all of my prescriptions. He gives me all my medicine in the room. So I'm telling you right now, you need to find a space, a prayer closet, the edge of your bed, in your bathroom, and truly go before the Lord in prayer. You don't have to rush your prayer. Don't get distracted in your prayer, but be freverent in your prayer. The kind that comes from deep within, like Hannah, where you truly, truly, truly praying for a change and you're truly asking God to hear your prayer. Amen. The kind that says, God, I believe you are still able. God, I still believe that you could turn this around. God, I still believe that you are with me. God, I still believe that you are abiding with me because I am abiding with you. I still believe that God hears and answers prayers because scripture reminds us that prayer, if we truly pray, it avails much, right? It carries weight, it has impact, and it matters when you pray without ceasing, and when you pray with power and authority. Thanks for being here today. I'm so glad you've been listening. We're going to actually go into prayer, right? This moment right here, if it spoke to you, don't just move on from it. I want you to sit with it. I want you to think about it and let it challenge you today, right? Let it invite you into something deeper with God. Let it help you to build an altar to kneel down in prayer before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I want you to know that you are not alone in whatever you're facing. Healing is not out of reach. I know that God can still heal and I know God can still restore, right? And your prayers that are more powerful than you think. Your prayers mean something every time you open your mouth to pray. God is listening. Even your silent prayers, God still hears those same prayers. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Honey Father, we come to you as humble as we know how, with a grateful heart, thanking you for your word and your promises and your presence, Heavenly Father. You are the one who forgives all our sins and you heal us from all our diseases. You said by your stripes we are healed. So I know you are our healer, you are our deliverer, and you are our peace right now. Honey Father, for every listener right now, I ask that you meet them right where they are right now, no God. Where there is pain, bring healing. When there is confusion, bring clarity. Where there is opposition or heaviness, bring freedom in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. With the blood of Jesus Christ, bring them freedom. Set them free, break them out of the chains that's been holding them back, and let them know that you can bring them out. Teach us, oh God, how to be honest before you when we pray and when we go before another person. Give us the courage to confess, the grace to forgive, and the compassion to pray for each other without hesitation. Honey Father, we believe in the power of prayer. Honey Father, we believe that we pray with power and authority that you will hear and answer our prayers, not because of our own strength, Holy Father, but because of your power at work in us, Henry Father. Let every heartfelt prayer rise up before you right now, oh God. And we pray that it brings forth healing according to your perfect will, oh God. Strengthen the weary, restore the broken, lift up the discouraged, and remind us that you are near, still working, and still healing today, oh God. God, we thank you for peace. God, we pray for peace which surpasses all understanding, oh God. God, we praying that you feel peace in our homes, peace on our jobs, peace within our thoughts. Honey Father, let us walk in peace. We know we can't change outcomes. We know we can't make your healing come fast like we want to be popcorn like microwave. But God, we ask you to give us peace as we wait on your direction. Give us peace while we wait on your answer. Give us peace while we're waiting on our healing, Henry Father. God, continue to walk with us and restore us. And we thank you, oh God, for this moment because we know by your stripes we are healed. Hallelujah. God, we thank you so much for delivering us. We thank you so much for your word to teach us how to pray, Holy Father. God, we thank you so much for your presence. God, we want you to know that we believe, we believe, we believe that you're working all things out for our will, for your will, Holy Father. God, we thank you so much for what you have done, what you're doing in this moment. And God, we thank you for calming the raging seas in our life. We thank you, Lord. We honor you, Lord. We exalt your holy name. It's in your darling son, Jesus Christ's name. We pray. Amen. Thank you, Lord. Thank you all for tuning in. I hope you felt God's word. I hope you go into prayer and pray like never before this evening and let God have his way. I want you to know that by God's stripes you are healed. Have a blessed evening until noon tomorrow.
