Welcome to the Faith Chapel.
00:00:31.08\00:00:32.05
My name is Hal
Steenson and I'm just privileged
00:00:32.06\00:00:34.78
to share with you
today. We're gonna preach
00:00:34.79\00:00:38.15
I believe a message
that will help you concerning
00:00:38.16\00:00:42.33
your prayer life
and hindrances to
00:00:42.34\00:00:44.85
unanswered prayer.
But before we get into
00:00:44.86\00:00:46.84
the word of God,
lets get in the God,
00:00:46.85\00:00:49.08
lets get in to him
through prayer okay.
00:00:49.09\00:00:51.24
Join with me today.
00:00:51.25\00:00:52.58
Father, oh! Father,
what would we do without you,
00:00:52.59\00:00:55.86
we ask you today
Lord in humility God,
00:00:56.24\00:01:00.24
because of the God
that you are to be with us.
00:01:00.25\00:01:02.21
And Lord, we also ask
you Father with boldness
00:01:02.57\00:01:06.37
that we can come
into your presence here
00:01:06.38\00:01:07.84
today because we
are your children
00:01:07.85\00:01:09.50
and you our Father.
Lord, be with us here today
00:01:09.51\00:01:12.13
and Lord, let your love abound,
00:01:12.63\00:01:14.44
your grace Lord
be multiplied and
00:01:14.45\00:01:17.29
we thank you for
it, in Jesus name amen.
00:01:17.30\00:01:20.76
You know there is lot
of people that come to him
00:01:21.53\00:01:23.25
and they say how,
what's the deal you know
00:01:23.26\00:01:26.13
I pray, I hear
other people praying,
00:01:26.47\00:01:28.25
their prayers are
answered and I pray
00:01:28.26\00:01:29.48
and I don't get
my prayers answered.
00:01:29.76\00:01:31.71
But see the word of
God says all God's answers
00:01:31.72\00:01:35.23
are yea and amen. But
its according to the line
00:01:35.24\00:01:37.27
with the word of God.
So what I want to share
00:01:37.32\00:01:38.75
with you today is
some reasons while
00:01:38.76\00:01:41.83
there might be
unanswered prayers
00:01:41.84\00:01:43.43
in your life and what
you have to do is you have
00:01:43.44\00:01:44.89
to give yourself a
checkup from the neck up.
00:01:44.90\00:01:46.51
And look, take a
look and make sure that
00:01:47.15\00:01:49.12
you're not in your
head and that you're in
00:01:49.13\00:01:50.80
your heart okay. I
want to share with you this,
00:01:50.81\00:01:53.19
so best way to praise
to pray the word of God,
00:01:53.20\00:01:54.80
the BIBLE. 1 John 5:14 says.
00:01:54.81\00:01:57.91
And this is the
confidence that we have in him,
00:01:57.92\00:01:59.52
that, if we ask
anything according to his will,
00:01:59.53\00:02:01.65
and his will is his
word, then he hears us.
00:02:01.66\00:02:04.97
1 John 5:15 says: And
if we know that he hear us,
00:02:05.57\00:02:08.62
whatsoever we ask,
we know that we have
00:02:08.63\00:02:10.51
the petitions
that we desire of him.
00:02:10.52\00:02:13.21
Pastor, how do I
pray the word of God?
00:02:14.82\00:02:16.04
Well, 2 Corinthians 2:20 says:
00:02:16.42\00:02:18.46
For all the promises of
God in him are yea and amen,
00:02:18.47\00:02:22.92
unto the glory of God
by us. What about times
00:02:23.24\00:02:27.82
when I pray and I just
don't just get an answer.
00:02:27.83\00:02:30.38
Glad you asked, 2
Corinthians 13:5 says:
00:02:31.54\00:02:35.35
Let a man examine
himself, in other wards
00:02:35.77\00:02:37.73
examine
yourselves, whether you be
00:02:37.74\00:02:39.04
in the faith;
prove your own self.
00:02:39.05\00:02:40.58
Know ye not your own selves,
00:02:40.96\00:02:42.45
how that Jesus Christ is in you,
00:02:42.46\00:02:44.75
except ye be reprobates?
00:02:44.76\00:02:46.65
If you reprobate he is
not there working in you.
00:02:47.04\00:02:49.20
Acts 10:34 says, Then
Peter opened his mouth,
00:02:50.01\00:02:53.13
and said, Of a truth I
perceive that God is no
00:02:53.14\00:02:56.46
respecter of persons.
Let me share this with
00:02:56.85\00:03:00.24
you okay, God is not
a respecter of persons.
00:03:00.32\00:03:02.89
However he is a
respecter of circumstance,
00:03:03.56\00:03:06.75
remember, if you're
having problems getting
00:03:07.10\00:03:08.91
your prayers
unanswered the problem
00:03:08.92\00:03:10.44
is never with
God, what did I say?
00:03:10.45\00:03:12.09
I said if you're
having problems getting
00:03:12.10\00:03:14.34
your prayers
unanswered don't blame it on God
00:03:14.35\00:03:17.98
because the
problem is never with God.
00:03:17.99\00:03:20.02
Well, let's look at
some possible reasons
00:03:20.75\00:03:22.66
why your prayers
may go unanswered?
00:03:22.67\00:03:25.84
First, this is the
biggie, I don't want to spend
00:03:25.85\00:03:29.64
a great deal of time
just on this but it's very
00:03:29.65\00:03:31.98
important that
you hear this okay.
00:03:31.99\00:03:33.26
First is unconfessed
known sin will hinder
00:03:33.94\00:03:37.63
your prayers. 1 John
1:9 says If we confess
00:03:37.64\00:03:41.84
our sins, God is
faithful and just to forgive us
00:03:41.86\00:03:44.00
our sins, and to
cleanse us from some of our
00:03:44.01\00:03:45.85
unrighteousness, no,
from all our unrighteousness.
00:03:45.86\00:03:48.61
See here's what
we failed to see,
00:03:48.62\00:03:50.95
comprehend and
realize is that not only
00:03:50.96\00:03:53.07
Will God forgive us of our sins.
00:03:53.08\00:03:55.40
But also he will
cleanse us of our sins.
00:03:56.08\00:03:59.14
I mean one time I'd
asked Molly to go out
00:03:59.88\00:04:02.03
and do something
and get something out
00:04:02.04\00:04:03.19
of the car at Church
and it was raining and,
00:04:03.20\00:04:04.47
and she started, she said,
00:04:04.86\00:04:07.39
baby it's raining
outside, I said, but honey
00:04:07.40\00:04:08.54
it won't take long,
I'm just trying out there
00:04:08.55\00:04:09.79
and get and then the
Lord got in my case he said,
00:04:09.80\00:04:13.55
no and I said, Molly, forgive me
00:04:13.56\00:04:16.36
I am so sorry,
I will go get that
00:04:16.37\00:04:17.76
and so I ran out
there in ran got it
00:04:17.77\00:04:19.39
and then Lord back
the Lord said you need
00:04:19.40\00:04:21.47
to repent. And I said
okay forgive me Father
00:04:21.48\00:04:25.20
He said sure I will
now repent and I said what?
00:04:25.21\00:04:27.64
I just did He said no
you asked forgiveness,
00:04:28.36\00:04:30.17
forgiveness and
repentance are two
00:04:30.18\00:04:31.94
different things.
Forgiveness is when you
00:04:31.95\00:04:33.70
ask Forgiveness,
repentance is when you
00:04:33.71\00:04:35.21
turned around and
go the other direction.
00:04:35.22\00:04:37.23
So, we need to
confess our sins before God
00:04:37.24\00:04:40.07
and you know if you're
in sin, it's not something
00:04:40.43\00:04:42.58
that you've say oh!
Let me search myself
00:04:42.59\00:04:44.50
what it knows it's
not that, that's not it
00:04:44.96\00:04:46.66
if you're in sin,
you know you're in sin.
00:04:47.27\00:04:48.99
And it's those cherished
sins, let me use this as
00:04:49.73\00:04:52.66
an illustration at
what speed limit does
00:04:52.67\00:04:54.72
the 65 mile an hour
speed limit in Illinois
00:04:54.73\00:04:57.61
go into effect now what speed?
00:04:57.62\00:04:58.88
Now some of you will say,
00:04:59.61\00:05:00.58
well it goes into
effect its 66 miles an hour,
00:05:00.59\00:05:03.23
no it doesn't, it's in
effect when you sitting
00:05:03.72\00:05:06.12
at home, when your
on couch, it's the law
00:05:06.13\00:05:08.74
and it's in effect
whether you are even
00:05:09.40\00:05:11.05
in the car or
your home on the couch,
00:05:11.06\00:05:13.20
this is where we
failed to realize that God
00:05:13.21\00:05:15.80
sin limit is zero.
And so when we have
00:05:15.81\00:05:18.90
unconfessed
known sin in our life,
00:05:18.91\00:05:21.42
we are exceeding
the sin limit of God,
00:05:21.43\00:05:23.60
we can't do that
what we have to do
00:05:23.61\00:05:25.93
what we must do,
what we must realize
00:05:25.94\00:05:28.33
is that God's sin limit is zero.
00:05:28.34\00:05:31.90
Thank God that
we haven't advocate
00:05:32.65\00:05:34.02
with the father,
that if we do exceed God's
00:05:34.03\00:05:36.11
sin limit then we
can ask for forgiveness.
00:05:36.12\00:05:39.20
If we do miss it
and sin and any of you
00:05:40.01\00:05:41.78
ever miss it. You
know I am sure you are
00:05:41.79\00:05:43.44
raising your hand there at home.
00:05:43.45\00:05:44.64
If you've ever
missed it then you know
00:05:44.65\00:05:47.16
I miss it sometimes
as big as a country mile,
00:05:47.17\00:05:49.99
and that's not
always easy to admit.
00:05:50.69\00:05:52.73
It's just not,
but we miss it and
00:05:53.40\00:05:55.34
we don't just miss
it. So much of the time
00:05:55.35\00:05:57.04
we miss it and we
sin. 1 John 3:4 says
00:05:57.05\00:06:00.07
whosoever
committed sin transgresseth,
00:06:00.08\00:06:01.84
means exceeds the sin limit,
00:06:01.85\00:06:03.63
also the law: for
sin is the transgression
00:06:03.87\00:06:06.83
of the law. So
when you exceed the sin
00:06:06.84\00:06:09.11
limit of God. Verse 17 says:
00:06:09.12\00:06:11.94
Therefore to him
that knoweth to do good,
00:06:11.95\00:06:13.69
and doeth it
not, to him it's sin.
00:06:14.05\00:06:16.09
Now say here's where
we really need to take
00:06:16.87\00:06:19.01
a good look at
what's we're doing
00:06:19.02\00:06:20.93
and what we're saying.
Is because what might be
00:06:20.94\00:06:23.53
to use, see I
don't, I don't play cards.
00:06:23.54\00:06:25.30
Before I got born
again I play cards for money,
00:06:26.12\00:06:28.47
my brother and I,
Lowell and I used to go
00:06:28.48\00:06:30.43
to Huntsville and
just we play Bridge,
00:06:30.81\00:06:33.12
didn't play
poker, played Bridge,
00:06:33.13\00:06:34.33
it's just. It was
just a big time gambling,
00:06:34.34\00:06:36.69
made lots of money.
But God conducted me of it,
00:06:37.58\00:06:40.21
you see I can't stand
here and tell you that
00:06:40.96\00:06:43.30
if you pick up a
deck of old maid cards
00:06:43.31\00:06:45.26
or you play bridge
that you're sinning
00:06:45.27\00:06:47.40
your life no. When a
man knoweth to do good,
00:06:47.41\00:06:49.53
and doeth it's not sin unto him.
00:06:49.54\00:06:50.66
It's not sin unto
you, It's not sin unto God.
00:06:50.67\00:06:52.39
It's not sin unto me.
And I'm living with it what
00:06:52.47\00:06:54.32
I need to do is, I need
to turn and loose of it.
00:06:54.33\00:06:57.03
If you hold on
to unconfessed known
00:06:57.39\00:06:59.16
sinning life that sin
will eventually become
00:06:59.17\00:07:01.36
a cherished sin and
it will breed other sins
00:07:01.37\00:07:03.36
to enhance
itself. Did you hear that?
00:07:03.37\00:07:05.00
Sin breeds sin,
especially cherished sin.
00:07:05.57\00:07:07.62
The life source of
sin is the nourishment
00:07:07.92\00:07:10.72
of more sin. Never,
never, never, never,
00:07:10.73\00:07:14.53
never allow Satan
to convince you that
00:07:14.54\00:07:17.34
it's okay to hold
on to cherished sins,
00:07:17.35\00:07:19.19
because eventually
you will be cleansed
00:07:19.20\00:07:20.62
from that sin.
Cherished sins appeared to be
00:07:20.63\00:07:23.59
sleeping
volcanoes; however they will
00:07:23.60\00:07:26.40
eventually explode
and destroy everything
00:07:26.41\00:07:29.19
in their path including you.
00:07:29.20\00:07:31.93
Well, this is why I
have heard so many people
00:07:32.68\00:07:34.43
to tell me, Pastor what about,
00:07:34.44\00:07:36.69
what about Isaiah
1:18 , this is I have,
00:07:37.12\00:07:40.30
I have heard
this so much it just
00:07:40.31\00:07:41.62
almost a joke.
What about Isaiah 1:18,
00:07:41.63\00:07:44.39
I tell people that's
the scapegoat loophole
00:07:44.40\00:07:47.11
scripture for sin,
but it's not because
00:07:48.06\00:07:50.02
people have misused
this. Isaiah 1:18 says:
00:07:50.03\00:07:53.29
Come now, and let
us reason together,
00:07:53.30\00:07:55.33
saith the Lord: though
your sins be as scarlet,
00:07:55.34\00:07:57.71
they shall be as white as snow;
00:07:57.72\00:07:59.04
though they be red like crimson,
00:07:59.05\00:08:00.66
they shall be white
or shall be as wool,
00:08:00.67\00:08:03.88
isn't that
wonderful. No, because this,
00:08:03.89\00:08:06.85
see this scripture is
misquoted and misused.
00:08:06.86\00:08:10.21
You know, I've
been to other countries
00:08:11.34\00:08:13.24
I have seen leprosy,
those of you that have
00:08:13.25\00:08:15.19
not seen leprosy,
not familiar with it.
00:08:15.20\00:08:17.01
It is a devastating
thing; it's a horrible
00:08:17.02\00:08:20.49
thing to look on. The
early stages of leprosy
00:08:20.50\00:08:23.93
get this, the
early stages of leprosy,
00:08:23.94\00:08:25.87
your skin is red,
its blotchy, its scarlet,
00:08:25.88\00:08:31.80
does this ring a bell
concerning Isaiah 1:18.
00:08:31.81\00:08:34.58
Its scarlet, but then
the later stages of it,
00:08:34.59\00:08:38.84
in the death rows of leprosy.
00:08:38.85\00:08:41.28
When your fingers, and your ears
00:08:41.73\00:08:43.94
and your nose and your
toes start falling off,
00:08:43.95\00:08:46.93
you are as white as
wool. God is desiring
00:08:48.29\00:08:52.88
in this scripture to
put a new heart in us
00:08:52.89\00:08:54.99
and what He is
saying in this scripture is:
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.56
though your sins
be scarlet, sweetheart
00:08:56.86\00:08:58.60
darling if you don't
do something about it,
00:08:58.61\00:09:00.41
then there were going
to be as white as wool,
00:09:00.81\00:09:03.35
you are gonna
be leopard as well.
00:09:03.36\00:09:05.43
Pastor, where do you get that?
00:09:05.82\00:09:07.01
I am glad you
asked, because here's
00:09:08.27\00:09:10.17
where I get it.
Numbers the 12th chapter
00:09:10.18\00:09:11.98
and 10th verse says:
And the cloud departed
00:09:11.99\00:09:14.36
off the tabernacle;
and, behold, Miriam became
00:09:14.37\00:09:17.00
Leprous, white as
snow: and Aaron looked
00:09:17.01\00:09:23.71
upon Miriam, and,
behold, she was leprous.
00:09:23.72\00:09:27.19
If you've got cherished sins,
00:09:28.62\00:09:29.95
you better turned over to God.
00:09:30.71\00:09:32.60
If you've got
cherished sins in your life,
00:09:34.52\00:09:36.25
they might be hide in the drawer
00:09:36.26\00:09:37.66
or somewhere,
they might be locked up
00:09:37.67\00:09:39.04
somewhere in the
storage building that
00:09:39.05\00:09:40.55
you have whatever it is.
00:09:40.56\00:09:41.62
They that might be
just be in your heart.
00:09:41.63\00:09:43.29
But what you better
do is, you better deal
00:09:44.12\00:09:46.75
with those cherished
sins and turned over to God.
00:09:46.76\00:09:48.67
You know, the
greatest weapon that enemy
00:09:49.02\00:09:50.24
has against you is secrecy.
00:09:50.25\00:09:51.71
He will cut you
up, he will eat you up,
00:09:51.72\00:09:54.64
he will chew you up
and he will spit you out
00:09:54.65\00:09:56.53
as long as you
keep something a secret.
00:09:56.93\00:09:58.70
Tell somebody,
well who can I tell?
00:09:59.12\00:10:00.62
Tell your best
friend. If you're married,
00:10:00.63\00:10:02.54
it's your wife, if
you're married, a woman,
00:10:02.55\00:10:04.73
it's your husband,
that's the first one
00:10:04.74\00:10:06.51
you should tell. Somebody said
00:10:06.52\00:10:07.49
if you really had problem
who would you tell first,
00:10:07.50\00:10:09.28
your wife, your best friend?
00:10:09.29\00:10:10.26
I said my wife
is my best friend.
00:10:10.27\00:10:11.60
That's the way it should be,
00:10:13.14\00:10:14.25
we should honor that
covenant that we have.
00:10:14.77\00:10:16.94
The second reason for
unanswered prayer is fear,
00:10:17.39\00:10:19.75
it is fear that
is opposite of faith,
00:10:20.60\00:10:22.88
it's not down unbelief I
have people tell me what?
00:10:22.89\00:10:24.86
Reason why you're
not moving any face,
00:10:25.28\00:10:26.58
you're down unbelief;
down unbelief is not the
00:10:26.59\00:10:28.59
opposite of faith, fear
is the opposite of faith.
00:10:28.60\00:10:31.68
Galatians, let's
just look at this,
00:10:31.69\00:10:33.18
how faith really truly works.
00:10:33.19\00:10:34.74
Galatians 5:6 says:
For in Jesus Christ neither
00:10:35.37\00:10:37.87
circumcision availeth
any thing, or uncircumcision;
00:10:37.88\00:10:41.00
but faith which worketh by love.
00:10:41.41\00:10:44.33
Boy this is a key,
now I'm gonna speaking
00:10:44.34\00:10:46.00
to your life, those
who have ears to hear
00:10:46.01\00:10:47.50
let him hear.
Faith works by love,
00:10:47.51\00:10:50.67
well how does
faith work by love?
00:10:50.68\00:10:52.26
The love of God will dispel fear
00:10:52.27\00:10:53.95
and release your
faith. First John 4:18 says:
00:10:54.27\00:10:57.49
There is no fear in
love; now we get this,
00:10:57.50\00:11:01.52
fear is the opposite of faith,
00:11:01.98\00:11:03.35
it's not down
unbelief, but faith worketh
00:11:04.01\00:11:07.15
by love, and perfect
love cast out all fear
00:11:07.16\00:11:11.33
because fear hath torment.
00:11:11.34\00:11:12.63
He that feareth is
not made perfect in love.
00:11:12.97\00:11:17.36
Now, see here's
what will happen?
00:11:18.91\00:11:20.05
When fear is
removed from your life
00:11:20.73\00:11:22.69
and prayers, faith always work,
00:11:22.70\00:11:25.48
fear activate
saying the way that faith
00:11:25.49\00:11:27.43
activates God. So,
what you have to do is,
00:11:27.44\00:11:30.44
you have to
confess any known sins
00:11:30.45\00:11:33.48
and then what you have to do is,
00:11:33.49\00:11:34.59
you have to get out of fear.
00:11:34.60\00:11:35.71
Whenever you move,
start moving in fear
00:11:36.53\00:11:38.49
you know what you should do,
00:11:38.50\00:11:39.49
you should put you
some worship music on,
00:11:39.50\00:11:41.53
you should start
praising God all over your house
00:11:41.93\00:11:44.79
you should turn it up
and let it flow through.
00:11:44.80\00:11:46.51
And you should
demonstrate love first
00:11:46.88\00:11:49.72
and foremost by worshiping God.
00:11:49.73\00:11:51.35
And where love
abounds, grace does not much
00:11:52.05\00:11:55.62
more abound okay.
But we walk by faith,
00:11:55.63\00:11:58.45
not by sight, this
is 2 Corinthians 5:7.
00:11:58.46\00:12:01.65
If we don't walk
by sight then we,
00:12:02.08\00:12:04.51
which is our
most powerful sense,
00:12:04.52\00:12:06.20
then we can't walk by
any of our other senses.
00:12:06.21\00:12:09.43
We must be led by God's
word not by what we see,
00:12:09.98\00:12:13.29
hear, touch, taste or
smell, listen to this.
00:12:13.30\00:12:15.38
We don't walk by
sight, we don't go by what
00:12:15.39\00:12:17.18
we see, hear,
touch, taste or smell.
00:12:17.19\00:12:20.04
Here are the keys to
releasing your faith.
00:12:20.58\00:12:22.39
If you got a pencil or
pen write them down okay.
00:12:22.40\00:12:24.67
Highlight them in your
Bible Mark 11th chapter,
00:12:24.68\00:12:26.77
powerful
chapter. Here are the keys
00:12:26.78\00:12:28.74
to releasing your
faith and seeing you
00:12:28.75\00:12:30.16
prayers
answered. Okay reasons for
00:12:30.17\00:12:33.52
unanswered prayer,
this is how you get your
00:12:33.53\00:12:35.30
prayers
answered. Mark 11:23 says:
00:12:35.31\00:12:38.19
For verily I say unto
you, That whosoever shall
00:12:38.53\00:12:40.86
say unto this
mountain, Be thou removed,
00:12:40.87\00:12:43.30
and be thou cast into the sea;
00:12:43.31\00:12:44.48
and shall not
doubt in his heart,
00:12:44.49\00:12:47.42
but shall believe in
his heart, that those things
00:12:48.07\00:12:52.52
which he saith
shall come to pass;
00:12:52.53\00:12:54.03
he shall have
whatsoever he saith.
00:12:54.04\00:12:57.91
First, when you
pray, pray the solution,
00:12:58.65\00:13:01.21
never pray the problem.
00:13:02.10\00:13:03.28
It doesn't say oh
mountain you are so big,
00:13:04.00\00:13:05.95
I don't know what I am gonna do
00:13:05.96\00:13:06.94
and you're just stand so tall
00:13:06.95\00:13:08.70
and I don't have a bulldozer
00:13:08.71\00:13:09.94
and I need a shovel, no.
00:13:09.95\00:13:11.69
You don't pray the
problem, when you really
00:13:11.70\00:13:14.24
and truly moving in
faith, you don't pray
00:13:14.25\00:13:16.07
the problem, you
pray the solution.
00:13:16.08\00:13:17.56
He says be thou
removed and be thou
00:13:17.57\00:13:20.31
cast into the sea.
And don't waste your time,
00:13:20.32\00:13:23.43
listen, you don't
remove anything else
00:13:23.44\00:13:25.56
I say today. Hear
this, don't waste your time
00:13:25.57\00:13:27.99
by giving God all
the intricate details,
00:13:28.00\00:13:30.77
you know you gonna tell Him,
00:13:31.36\00:13:32.67
hey, O God I
hate to tell you this,
00:13:33.07\00:13:35.62
but I having a
problem with lust.
00:13:35.63\00:13:36.86
And He goes Uh. In
such a great hand bust
00:13:36.87\00:13:39.40
you know off the inner state,
00:13:39.41\00:13:40.38
I don't think so.
You're not gonna surprise
00:13:40.39\00:13:42.48
God when you tell Him
that you've got a problem
00:13:42.49\00:13:45.00
with sin. You're
not gonna surprise God
00:13:45.01\00:13:47.55
when you tell Him
something this in your life
00:13:47.56\00:13:49.26
that you think
nobody else knows.
00:13:49.27\00:13:50.76
Because if you are
child of God, He lives
00:13:50.77\00:13:53.52
and dwells with in
you, He abides there;
00:13:53.53\00:13:55.89
He takes every step you take
00:13:55.90\00:13:58.02
and every breath that you take.
00:13:58.03\00:14:00.19
He already knows
every intricate neat detail.
00:14:00.95\00:14:03.64
What you need to do?
Is you just need to pray
00:14:03.65\00:14:06.10
the answer. That's
the first think you do,
00:14:06.11\00:14:07.69
pray the solution,
and second don't doubt
00:14:07.70\00:14:10.01
in your heart. It
says you shall doubt
00:14:10.02\00:14:11.88
in his heart, if you
don't hear anything else
00:14:11.89\00:14:13.99
as I say today. Please hear this
00:14:14.00\00:14:15.63
There is a a
difference in doubting in your
00:14:15.64\00:14:17.15
carnal mind and
doubting in your heart.
00:14:17.16\00:14:19.37
Twelve inches between
your head and your heart,
00:14:19.87\00:14:21.46
I call it the foot
that defeats Twelve inches
00:14:21.47\00:14:23.44
one foot will defeat
you if you began to move
00:14:23.45\00:14:25.83
in your head instead
of moving in your heart.
00:14:25.84\00:14:28.24
Your carnal mind is
an enemy against God
00:14:28.86\00:14:30.79
always will be,
it will never embrace
00:14:30.80\00:14:32.84
the concept of faith of God.
00:14:32.85\00:14:34.49
Your carnal mind will
tell you numerous reasons
00:14:34.96\00:14:37.15
why your prayers
won't be answered;
00:14:37.16\00:14:38.43
however your born
again heart mind will never
00:14:38.44\00:14:42.23
questioned the
faith of God that extended
00:14:42.24\00:14:45.01
toward you and
toward your prayers.
00:14:45.02\00:14:47.28
I've often
wondered, I've often wondered
00:14:47.97\00:14:50.33
maybe you're
seating there and thinking
00:14:50.34\00:14:51.57
my prayers won't
answered, not thought
00:14:52.32\00:14:53.68
I was so close. I've
often wondered how many
00:14:53.69\00:14:55.39
prayers that may
have been answered
00:14:55.40\00:14:57.36
if a person praying
had realize their doubts
00:14:57.37\00:14:59.43
were coming from
their carnal mind
00:14:59.44\00:15:01.22
not their hearts. You
see faith is a heart thing;
00:15:02.52\00:15:06.18
it's not a head
thing. Several years ago,
00:15:07.16\00:15:12.06
I was watching a
weightlifting competition;
00:15:12.45\00:15:14.41
this was a female
weightlifting competition.
00:15:14.42\00:15:16.39
And they had some big
stout ladies that came out
00:15:16.85\00:15:19.65
and they were
lifting these weights
00:15:19.66\00:15:21.05
and it was cling
and jerk put it up over
00:15:21.06\00:15:22.79
their head. Two
ladies came out in a row
00:15:22.80\00:15:25.19
and they looked
down at the weight,
00:15:25.43\00:15:28.07
they looked up at the
camera and they looked
00:15:28.08\00:15:29.65
down at the weight
and they looked back up
00:15:29.66\00:15:31.21
the camera and they looked down
00:15:31.22\00:15:32.19
at the weight, they
do some like three times
00:15:32.20\00:15:33.39
and they're
rosining up their hands.
00:15:33.40\00:15:34.52
And they got it
up, they about here
00:15:35.32\00:15:36.65
and they dropped it, big ladies.
00:15:36.66\00:15:38.45
And then I saw these
little red headed ladies
00:15:39.29\00:15:42.22
I mean about half
the size of these other
00:15:42.23\00:15:44.06
two women. I know
she was muscled up,
00:15:44.07\00:15:45.63
but she came out
there, she never looked down
00:15:45.64\00:15:48.17
at the weight
and she got the rosin
00:15:48.18\00:15:49.55
and she rosined up her hands.
00:15:49.56\00:15:50.91
She looks
straight into the camera
00:15:51.31\00:15:52.91
and she said easy,
she leaned down there
00:15:52.92\00:15:57.52
and grabbed up that weight and
00:15:57.53\00:15:58.59
threw that
weight up over her head.
00:15:58.60\00:16:00.26
And let me tell
you something okay.
00:16:00.27\00:16:01.40
She didn't just lift
that weight with her head
00:16:01.79\00:16:03.89
and her body; I
believe she lifted
00:16:03.90\00:16:05.61
that weight with
her heart faith knowing
00:16:05.62\00:16:08.95
that she could do it
if she had faith that
00:16:09.34\00:16:11.60
she could do it.
The third thing that
00:16:11.61\00:16:13.32
you got to do, you must
believe it in your heart
00:16:13.33\00:16:15.14
to confess it with your mouth.
00:16:15.15\00:16:16.41
Listen, confession
is not a bad thing,
00:16:17.22\00:16:19.00
when I confess something,
I confess what the word
00:16:19.60\00:16:21.94
says I am, the word
says I can be and the word
00:16:21.95\00:16:24.25
says I have the
ability to become.
00:16:24.26\00:16:26.39
Now listen to this okay.
00:16:27.02\00:16:28.47
We believe it in
our heart, we confess it
00:16:28.48\00:16:30.60
with our mouth
and we do according
00:16:30.61\00:16:32.03
to the word of
God, what did I say?
00:16:32.04\00:16:33.28
I said according
to the word of God.
00:16:33.29\00:16:35.48
You see I tell
people, I believe that
00:16:36.20\00:16:37.86
I am Boeing 747.
I can go over the
00:16:38.46\00:16:40.49
Marianna Airport, I go to
the St Louis Lambert Field
00:16:40.50\00:16:42.57
run up down the
runways and spread
00:16:42.78\00:16:44.30
my arms out
yield I am Boeing 747,
00:16:44.31\00:16:46.52
I am Boeing 747,
won't you know something.
00:16:46.53\00:16:48.23
I've never get off
the ground why not?
00:16:48.78\00:16:51.50
Because it's not
according to the word of God,
00:16:52.21\00:16:55.53
what we have to
do is believed what
00:16:56.63\00:16:58.66
so many people say,
"God said it, I believe it
00:16:58.67\00:17:00.40
that settles it!" But
let me share something
00:17:00.41\00:17:01.86
with you okay, I love
you with all my heart.
00:17:01.87\00:17:04.07
But God said it that settles it,
00:17:04.57\00:17:06.10
whether we believe it or not.
00:17:06.11\00:17:07.43
The next reason
for unanswered prayer,
00:17:09.10\00:17:10.75
oh I must start needling.
00:17:10.76\00:17:13.30
The next reason
for unanswered prayers
00:17:14.26\00:17:15.65
is unforgiveness,
I ministered several
00:17:15.66\00:17:19.46
years ago along
these lines and I had to
00:17:19.47\00:17:20.90
met gentleman to
come up to me afterwards
00:17:20.91\00:17:22.54
and tell me he said
I'm gonna call my brother
00:17:23.04\00:17:24.79
when I get home
tonight, we haven't spoken
00:17:24.80\00:17:26.17
in ten years. He
told me the next day that
00:17:26.18\00:17:29.33
he called his brother,
he broke down and wept,
00:17:29.34\00:17:31.03
wept like a baby,
that he have been wanting
00:17:31.04\00:17:33.30
to call him and thinking
about him that very day,
00:17:33.31\00:17:35.23
unforgiveness. I told my mother,
00:17:35.99\00:17:39.48
I said what I want you to do?
00:17:39.49\00:17:40.61
Is I want you to
sell everything you got,
00:17:40.62\00:17:42.06
get all of your money
and go around the world
00:17:42.44\00:17:44.23
that way none of the
kids will have to fight
00:17:44.24\00:17:46.11
over it. God help us
that families are divided
00:17:46.12\00:17:49.56
over things like
that. Mark 11:25 says:
00:17:49.91\00:17:53.01
When you stand praying, forgive,
00:17:53.02\00:17:54.21
if you have ought against any:
00:17:54.22\00:17:55.38
that your Father also
which is in heaven may
00:17:55.83\00:17:57.50
forgive your trespasses.
But if you do not forgive,
00:17:57.51\00:18:01.04
neither will your
Father which is in heaven
00:18:01.46\00:18:03.33
forgive you of your trespasses.
00:18:03.34\00:18:06.82
I have heard people say,
00:18:07.63\00:18:08.60
well I've forgiven it,
but I haven't forgotten it
00:18:09.53\00:18:12.35
and I want you to
know that if you haven't
00:18:12.36\00:18:13.84
forgotten it then
you haven't really
00:18:13.85\00:18:15.59
forgiven it. I am
not saying you shouldn't
00:18:15.60\00:18:18.21
learn from your experience,
00:18:18.22\00:18:19.46
I am saying don't
let what happened to you
00:18:19.47\00:18:21.77
consume every walking moment,
00:18:21.78\00:18:24.29
just give it to God,
don't let it eat you up,
00:18:24.65\00:18:27.61
don't rehash it.
Every time you hear
00:18:27.62\00:18:29.33
this person's name,
every time you see that
00:18:29.34\00:18:31.90
person don't, don't rehash it.
00:18:31.91\00:18:34.44
You know you need to
learn from the experiences
00:18:34.87\00:18:36.23
every time you
came over my house
00:18:36.24\00:18:37.62
you kicked my dog,
and I found out that just
00:18:37.63\00:18:39.64
coming over I've put my dog up,
00:18:39.65\00:18:41.13
I might still let you come over.
00:18:41.14\00:18:42.31
But there was, in the Lion King,
00:18:42.99\00:18:44.94
Disney movie The Lion king.
00:18:44.95\00:18:46.21
The young lion told
to the monkey he said
00:18:46.90\00:18:48.86
I just can't get over
my past; I can't get over
00:18:48.87\00:18:50.60
my past. And the
monkey says smack
00:18:50.61\00:18:52.94
and hit him in the
head with the stick,
00:18:52.95\00:18:54.27
and the lion said
why did you do that?
00:18:54.94\00:18:57.56
He's what
difference does it make,
00:18:57.57\00:18:58.79
its in the past you
can't do anything about it
00:18:59.23\00:19:01.66
and the young lion
says, oh and then the
00:19:02.39\00:19:04.35
monkey swung at him and
again and the young lion
00:19:04.36\00:19:06.14
ducked and the
monkey missed him.
00:19:06.15\00:19:07.52
And the monkey said
see you can't get over
00:19:07.53\00:19:11.51
your past or you
can't live in the past,
00:19:11.92\00:19:15.03
but you can learn from the past.
00:19:15.40\00:19:17.57
And that's the
lesson to be learned,
00:19:18.02\00:19:20.15
so if I start over your house
00:19:20.16\00:19:21.30
and I kick your
dog, put your dog up
00:19:21.31\00:19:22.67
and let me still come over okay.
00:19:22.68\00:19:24.04
You must go before
God; we can give him
00:19:24.35\00:19:26.24
every hurt, every
pain, every heartache
00:19:26.25\00:19:28.32
and every disappointment to him
00:19:28.33\00:19:29.39
or you will end up
with your prayers unanswered
00:19:29.74\00:19:32.54
and possibly living in
sin. Jeremiah 31:34 says:
00:19:32.55\00:19:38.15
And they shall
teach no more every man
00:19:38.16\00:19:39.51
his neighbor, and
every man his brother,
00:19:39.52\00:19:40.95
saying, Know the LORD:
for they shall all know me,
00:19:40.96\00:19:43.67
from the least of them
unto the greatest of them,
00:19:43.68\00:19:46.03
saith the Lord: for I
will forgive their iniquity,
00:19:46.04\00:19:48.20
and I will
remember their sin no more.
00:19:48.57\00:19:50.68
Now this is
amazing, you know that God
00:19:51.14\00:19:53.06
doesn't have a
memory. because He doesn't
00:19:53.07\00:19:55.42
forget anything, He
doesn't have to turn to
00:19:55.43\00:19:57.47
Gabriel and say you
know Gabriel what was,
00:19:57.48\00:19:59.72
what was the name of
the sea that we parted
00:19:59.73\00:20:01.41
from Moses to get over,
He doesn't forget anything
00:20:01.42\00:20:03.77
God's
omniscient, He's all knowing,
00:20:03.78\00:20:05.46
He's all wise, how
can He forget something
00:20:05.47\00:20:08.13
the way He forgets it.
Is He chooses to forget it
00:20:08.49\00:20:10.73
and this is what we have to do?
00:20:11.44\00:20:12.70
Sure somebody
came on you, up to you,
00:20:12.71\00:20:15.04
they might have
thrown up all over you
00:20:15.05\00:20:16.54
and they did, maybe
trying to do something
00:20:16.55\00:20:18.20
right and did it wrong
or maybe they deliberately
00:20:18.21\00:20:20.34
hurt you. But see
they're just walking around out
00:20:20.38\00:20:22.94
there and just like a
little just happy camper
00:20:22.95\00:20:25.45
and you're being
consumed with it don't,
00:20:25.46\00:20:27.43
don't let the
enemy do this to you.
00:20:27.44\00:20:28.81
Forgive and forget
and there is two sides,
00:20:29.33\00:20:33.86
two perspectives to forgiveness,
00:20:33.87\00:20:35.59
it's his side, his
side or her side the truth
00:20:35.99\00:20:39.34
is usually what I
say. But here's the truth,
00:20:39.35\00:20:43.05
perspectives that are
diametrically opposed.
00:20:43.32\00:20:45.51
The choir director
came to the pastor said,
00:20:46.27\00:20:47.68
you got to get rid of John.
00:20:47.69\00:20:48.66
John's ruining the
choir, he can't sing.
00:20:48.67\00:20:50.92
Its terrible, he is off
key, he can't carry a tune,
00:20:51.40\00:20:53.58
but he got, get rid of them
00:20:53.59\00:20:55.11
and the pastor said I handle it,
00:20:55.12\00:20:56.13
don't worry about
it. So the pastor called
00:20:56.36\00:20:58.38
John in and said John
you're doing a great job,
00:20:58.39\00:21:00.11
you're just
such a people person,
00:21:00.83\00:21:02.21
we want you to be
an usher and John said,
00:21:02.22\00:21:03.80
no I can't be in usher
I can't sing in the choir
00:21:03.81\00:21:05.48
if I'm an usher. He
said we really want you
00:21:05.49\00:21:07.20
to be an usher.
He said look pastor
00:21:07.21\00:21:08.52
I am not gonna
sing in the choir I mean
00:21:08.53\00:21:11.13
be an usher I want
to sing in the choir.
00:21:11.14\00:21:12.80
And the pastor
say well look John,
00:21:13.70\00:21:15.14
the truth is you can't sing.
00:21:15.15\00:21:16.19
He said who told you
that. He said ten people
00:21:16.20\00:21:18.14
in the choir
says you can't sing,
00:21:18.15\00:21:19.42
he's a pastor.
Hundred people in the Church
00:21:19.43\00:21:21.51
says you can't preach
won't you be in usher.
00:21:21.52\00:21:23.53
You see there's
different perspectives on thing,
00:21:24.04\00:21:26.04
and the perspective
on forgiveness is this.
00:21:26.49\00:21:28.58
Here's our
prospective on forgiveness.
00:21:29.03\00:21:30.98
Mark 11:24 says:
Therefore I say unto you,
00:21:30.99\00:21:32.98
what things so ever you desire,
00:21:32.99\00:21:34.05
when you pray,
believe that you receive them,
00:21:34.06\00:21:36.05
and you shall have them.
00:21:36.06\00:21:37.03
However this is
God's perspective,
00:21:37.88\00:21:39.67
Mark 11:25 and 26 says:
And when you stand praying,
00:21:40.47\00:21:43.14
forgive, if ye have
ought against any that
00:21:43.15\00:21:45.71
your Father who
also which is in heaven
00:21:45.72\00:21:47.61
may forgive you your trespasses.
00:21:47.62\00:21:49.48
But if you do not forgive,
00:21:49.49\00:21:50.71
neither will your
Father which is in heaven
00:21:50.72\00:21:52.27
forgive you your trespasses.
00:21:53.50\00:21:56.95
Forgive and
forget, the next reason for
00:21:59.60\00:22:02.16
unanswered prayer
maybe a lack of consistency
00:22:02.17\00:22:05.09
in your prayer life. John 5:16,
00:22:05.10\00:22:07.69
an Amplified Bible says here,
00:22:07.70\00:22:09.03
"The earnest,
heartfelt, continued prayer
00:22:09.04\00:22:11.13
of a righteous man
makes tremendous power
00:22:11.14\00:22:13.06
available
dynamic in its working."
00:22:13.07\00:22:15.80
Luke 18:1: Also
Jesus told them a parable
00:22:16.36\00:22:19.71
to the effect that
they ought always to pray
00:22:19.72\00:22:21.55
and not to turn
coward, faint, lose heart
00:22:21.56\00:22:24.31
and give up. I hear people say,
00:22:24.32\00:22:26.76
I am consistent, I
am consistent at Church,
00:22:27.37\00:22:29.86
I consistently go to church.
00:22:30.29\00:22:31.64
Yes but let me ask this okay,
00:22:31.65\00:22:33.03
I want you to know
once again I love you okay.
00:22:33.41\00:22:35.26
But are you consistently late,
00:22:36.40\00:22:37.77
are you
consistently late many times
00:22:38.54\00:22:40.81
on many occasions. I
would rather be an hour
00:22:40.82\00:22:43.63
early for something
then to be one minute
00:22:43.64\00:22:46.19
late for it, but that's just me,
00:22:46.20\00:22:47.91
that should be all of us.
00:22:48.61\00:22:49.85
Romans 12:12
says: Rejoicing in hope;
00:22:50.57\00:22:52.91
patient in
tribulation; continuing instant
00:22:52.92\00:22:55.69
in prayer. That
word instant means
00:22:55.70\00:22:57.08
consistent in
prayer, I personally believe,
00:22:57.09\00:22:59.35
I am telling you personally.
00:22:59.74\00:23:00.86
I believe that
the way you conduct
00:23:01.63\00:23:02.99
your prayer life,
is better reflection
00:23:03.00\00:23:05.17
of how you will
conduct your daily life.
00:23:05.18\00:23:07.05
Through the years
Molly and I have seen many
00:23:07.74\00:23:09.40
people that would have
made great Church leaders.
00:23:09.41\00:23:12.90
However they were inconsistent
00:23:13.49\00:23:15.62
in their
commitment to the local Church
00:23:15.63\00:23:18.34
and the God which suggested that
00:23:18.35\00:23:20.73
they were inconsistent
in their prayer life.
00:23:20.74\00:23:23.44
Now listen to this statement,
00:23:23.45\00:23:24.75
I feel like God
really gave this to me,
00:23:24.76\00:23:26.29
your spiritual life will
cultivate your daily life.
00:23:27.53\00:23:30.78
It is not and never
will be the other way around,
00:23:31.42\00:23:34.93
your daily life
will not cultivate
00:23:35.60\00:23:37.71
your spiritual prayer
life, your spiritual prayer
00:23:37.72\00:23:40.24
life will
cultivate your daily life.
00:23:40.25\00:23:42.04
Now, I want to speak
to the man here for just
00:23:42.87\00:23:44.80
a second, I have
a man that comes up
00:23:44.81\00:23:48.31
to me if I share this sometime,
00:23:48.32\00:23:49.60
they come up to me and
they will say Pastor Hal,
00:23:49.61\00:23:51.00
I've trouble
getting my wife going
00:23:52.76\00:23:54.64
and getting the children going
00:23:55.22\00:23:56.66
and everything and
what I do now whenever
00:23:56.67\00:23:59.45
I meet a
minister along these lines
00:23:59.46\00:24:00.95
concerning prayer.
I just ask him don't,
00:24:00.96\00:24:02.68
don't come to me
and tell me that because
00:24:02.69\00:24:04.41
if you do what I will
have to say to you is brother,
00:24:04.72\00:24:07.44
we need to go before
God, or you need to go
00:24:09.38\00:24:10.91
before God. And we
need to pray really pray,
00:24:11.00\00:24:15.00
because your
house is not in order.
00:24:15.90\00:24:17.68
If you are the half
priest of that household,
00:24:18.23\00:24:20.30
you should love your wife;
00:24:20.31\00:24:21.44
love your family
into being consistent
00:24:21.45\00:24:24.79
in prayer, and
in the word of God.
00:24:25.49\00:24:27.00
If your prayers
will go on unanswered
00:24:28.10\00:24:29.88
if you are not proved
to God financial loss.
00:24:29.89\00:24:33.23
If you're not paying
taxes you're a robber;
00:24:33.70\00:24:35.67
however what you
need to see is that
00:24:35.68\00:24:37.37
you aren't stealing from God,
00:24:37.38\00:24:38.63
you're stealing from yourself.
00:24:38.64\00:24:39.70
Malachi 3:8 I
love it, I love it you,
00:24:40.68\00:24:42.57
you tell people
to go to Malachi 3:8
00:24:42.58\00:24:44.21
and they say
no, no. Malachi 3:8:
00:24:44.22\00:24:46.34
Will a man rob God? Do you think
00:24:46.90\00:24:49.36
you can hold up the
conference of heaven
00:24:49.37\00:24:50.90
you can steal the pearly gates,
00:24:50.91\00:24:51.88
that's not what
He's talking about.
00:24:51.89\00:24:52.87
You can't do
that, what the scripture
00:24:53.47\00:24:55.23
referring to, it's not
stealing the pearly gates
00:24:55.24\00:24:57.74
holding up the conference
00:24:57.75\00:24:58.73
it is robbing God of
the chance to provide
00:24:58.74\00:25:01.39
all your needs
according to His riches
00:25:01.40\00:25:03.49
and glory in Christ
Jesus. He says bring all your
00:25:03.50\00:25:06.24
tithes and all the store house.
00:25:06.25\00:25:07.34
And see if I will
not rebuke the devourer,
00:25:07.35\00:25:09.55
you won't have to,
He will do it for you,
00:25:10.11\00:25:13.01
isn't this, isn't
this awesome that God would
00:25:13.02\00:25:15.83
literally rebuke
the devourer for us.
00:25:15.84\00:25:18.03
Let me ask you something,
00:25:19.79\00:25:20.79
how many of you,
how many of you hear
00:25:20.80\00:25:22.78
lately your
washing machines broke,
00:25:22.79\00:25:24.62
your water pump quench,
air conditioner fell out
00:25:24.63\00:25:26.72
of the window,
your roof's leaking,
00:25:26.73\00:25:28.58
do you know that
when you bring tithes
00:25:29.48\00:25:31.04
and your offerings in the God.
00:25:31.05\00:25:32.13
God will rebuke the
devour things last longer,
00:25:32.14\00:25:34.61
doesn't mean they
want everywhere out
00:25:34.62\00:25:35.94
but then last longer
then they normally do.
00:25:35.95\00:25:38.56
Pastor, where did you get that?
00:25:38.88\00:25:40.06
Oh out of Exodus,
where they made the Exodus,
00:25:40.07\00:25:43.42
and remember the
sandals on the children's
00:25:43.43\00:25:45.75
of Israel feet
that didn't wear out for
00:25:45.76\00:25:47.56
forty years then
God provided for them,
00:25:47.57\00:25:49.77
through the willingness.
Well, pastor you don't
00:25:50.45\00:25:53.39
understand sometimes, I
have to, I have to borrow
00:25:53.40\00:25:55.38
money from my
tithes to pay my bills
00:25:55.39\00:25:57.58
you know what you should do?
00:25:57.59\00:25:58.56
If you got a recharge card and,
00:25:58.57\00:25:59.54
and I believe
in plastic surgery,
00:25:59.55\00:26:00.99
I believe out cut them up.
00:26:01.00\00:26:01.97
But if you got recharge card,
00:26:01.98\00:26:03.29
you come out
better to put that bill
00:26:03.30\00:26:05.04
on your recharge
card, then you would
00:26:05.05\00:26:06.41
to take it from your tithes.
00:26:06.42\00:26:07.57
Because Leviticus 27:31 says:
00:26:07.58\00:26:09.63
When you do that
its twenty percent
00:26:09.64\00:26:11.53
interest on it. Some
you got recharge card
00:26:11.54\00:26:13.88
nine percent
interest, don't borrow it
00:26:13.89\00:26:15.26
from your tithes,
prove God, bring it in
00:26:15.27\00:26:17.57
and give it to
God and prove God.
00:26:17.58\00:26:19.18
The last thing
very quickly its you,
00:26:19.85\00:26:22.20
your prayers
might go unanswered,
00:26:22.21\00:26:23.39
if you ignore God's
physical laws especially
00:26:23.40\00:26:26.06
in the areas of
health. Your body is a temple
00:26:26.07\00:26:28.25
of the Holy Spirit,
you need to be aware
00:26:28.26\00:26:31.65
of that and keep
it a temple of God,
00:26:31.66\00:26:34.21
the principles of
health reformer founding
00:26:35.08\00:26:37.04
God's word
according to medical ministry.
00:26:37.05\00:26:39.63
The Gospel of health
is firmly linked with the
00:26:40.17\00:26:42.11
ministry of the word
it is the Lord's designed
00:26:42.18\00:26:43.90
that the storing
informs of health reforms
00:26:43.91\00:26:45.99
shall be apart of the
last great effort to proclaim
00:26:46.00\00:26:48.48
the gospel message.
I gave you six possible
00:26:48.49\00:26:52.99
reasons for unanswered prayers,
00:26:53.00\00:26:54.50
lets rehearse them
quick, reason unconfessed known
00:26:54.51\00:26:57.43
sin will confess your
sins, fear embrace Gods love,
00:26:57.44\00:27:00.52
unforgiveness
forgive and choose to forget,
00:27:00.96\00:27:02.89
inconsistency in your life.
00:27:03.58\00:27:05.53
Stand fast which
you like man, tithes.
00:27:05.54\00:27:07.84
Genesis 1:1: In
the beginning God
00:27:07.85\00:27:11.59
in physical laws,
don't roller skate
00:27:12.18\00:27:15.35
in a buffalo herd,
realize that you are a temple
00:27:15.36\00:27:18.73
custodian and keep
this temple for God,
00:27:18.74\00:27:21.39
realize that it is
God that is waiting there,
00:27:22.33\00:27:24.65
He will chase
you down to bless you
00:27:24.66\00:27:27.21
and to answer your prayers.
00:27:27.57\00:27:28.93
So if your prayers
aren't being answered,
00:27:29.60\00:27:31.00
problem not with God,
my prayers unanswered.
00:27:31.59\00:27:34.22
This old boy is so
comfortable right here,
00:27:34.78\00:27:36.52
so if your
prayers aren't answered,
00:27:37.06\00:27:38.39
examine yourself,
because God is seating
00:27:39.15\00:27:41.09
there waiting on the
edge of his throne say
00:27:41.10\00:27:42.81
come-on, come-on,
come-on you can do it,
00:27:42.82\00:27:45.28
you can make it, you're right
00:27:45.29\00:27:47.01
in third place right now.
00:27:47.02\00:27:48.07
You're headed for home,
00:27:48.73\00:27:49.70
all you gotta do is
commit yourself totally to God.
00:27:50.26\00:27:54.31
