00:28 let's all praise the Lord
00:32 Hi, boys and girls.
00:34 Recently I heard a story about
00:35 some prayer habits of some people in Africa.
00:39 They had just learned about Jesus
00:40 and they took prayer very seriously.
00:43 In fact, each of them had their own special place
00:46 outside of the village
00:48 where they went alone to pray to God.
00:50 And in order to get there,
00:51 they had to follow their very own private footpath
00:54 through the brush.
00:56 Now if the grass started to grow over a footpath,
00:59 it was a signal
01:00 that someone wasn't praying very much.
01:03 These Christians were concerned about
01:05 each other's spiritual growth,
01:07 so they came up with a solution.
01:10 If someone noticed a path that was overgrown,
01:13 they would approach the person to which it belong and say,
01:16 "Friend, there's grass on your path."
01:19 Isn't that a great idea?
01:21 If we want to have
01:22 a close relationship with Jesus,
01:24 we need to spend time with Him in prayer.
01:27 Let's listen now as Mirielle sings,
01:29 "Standing in the Need of Prayer".
01:39 It's me, it's me, O Lord
01:43 Standing in the need of prayer
01:46 It's me, it's me, O Lord
01:49 Standing in the need of prayer
01:52 Not my father nor my mother But it's me, O Lord
01:55 Standing in the need of prayer
01:58 Not my father nor my mother But it's me, O Lord
02:02 Standing in the need of prayer
02:04 It's me, it's me, O Lord
02:08 Standing in the need of prayer
02:11 It's me, it's me, O Lord
02:14 Standing in the need of prayer
02:17 Not my brother nor my sister But it's me, O Lord
02:21 Standing in the need of prayer
02:23 Not my brother nor my sister But it's me, O Lord
02:27 Standing in the need of prayer
02:30 It's me, it's me, O Lord
02:33 Standing in the need of prayer
02:36 It's me, it's me, O Lord
02:39 Standing in the need of prayer
02:42 Not the preacher, nor the deacon
02:44 But it's me, O Lord
02:46 Standing in the need of prayer
02:49 Not the preacher, nor the deacon
02:50 But it's me, O Lord
02:52 Standing in the need of prayer.
03:00 The next song was inspired by Ephesians 1:18.
03:03 In this letter Paul says,
03:05 "I pray that the eyes of your heart
03:07 would be enlightened."
03:08 I have never considered that but when I heard it,
03:12 it made sense to me.
03:13 Why did people with bad vision wear contacts or glasses?
03:17 Because they want to see clearly.
03:20 Well, I want my heart to see things clearly too.
03:23 And the only way to do that
03:25 is to pray and invite Jesus to come in.
03:28 Right now Fire 'N' Steel will play on their steel pans,
03:32 "Open the Eyes of My Heart".
05:24 A man looked out of his window one morning to see
05:27 a small kitten stuck in a tree.
05:29 Since the tree was too flimsy to climb,
05:32 he tried to coax the frightened creature down
05:34 but it was no use.
05:35 Finally he tied one end of the rope to a branch
05:38 and the other to his car.
05:39 And he slowly inched his car out into the road
05:42 watching as the tree branch
05:44 bent lower and lower to the ground.
05:46 Just as the branch was low enough
05:48 for the man to grab the little kitten,
05:50 the rope snapped
05:52 and the kitten was launched into the air out of sight.
05:56 A couple of days later,
05:57 he was in the grocery store
05:59 and noticed his neighbor was buying cat food.
06:01 Since he knew she hated cats, he was curious.
06:05 "Cat food?" he asked.
06:07 "Yes" remarked the lady, she said,
06:09 "My little girl has been begging for a cat
06:12 and I told her she could have one
06:14 if God gave it to her."
06:17 I watched her go to the backyard,
06:19 kneeled down and pray for the cat
06:22 and out of the clear blue sky
06:24 a kitten came flying through the air
06:26 and landed right in front of her.
06:29 Yes, God does answer prayer.
06:32 AR and his mom Ainor will now sing,
06:35 "A Child's Prayer".
06:46 When I pray
06:49 Will He hear me?
06:51 When I pray
06:54 Is He there?
06:56 When I pray
06:58 Will He answer?
07:01 A small child's prayer
07:04 He can hear one long voice
07:08 Across the mountains and sea
07:13 When I pray
07:15 Will He hear me?
07:18 Will Heavenly Father hear me?
07:30 He will hear you
07:35 He is there
07:39 He will answer
07:43 A small child's prayer
07:47 He can hear one long voice
07:51 Across the mountains and sea
07:56 He will hear you
08:01 As Heavenly Father hears me
08:08 He can hear one long voice
08:12 Across the mountains and sea
08:18 He will hear me
08:23 Heavenly Father hears me.
08:32 If there is one ingredient to answered prayer, it's faith.
08:36 The Bible says that if you have faith
08:38 that's small as a mustard seed, you can move mountains.
08:41 Now I don't know about you
08:43 but I haven't moved any mountains lately.
08:45 I think we could all use
08:46 a little more faith in our lives.
08:48 Ask God to increase your faith as James sings,
08:51 "I believe".
09:05 I believe for every drop of rain that falls
09:12 A flower grows
09:16 I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
09:21 A candle glows
09:26 I believe for everyone to go astray
09:31 Someone will come to show the way
09:38 I believe
09:41 I believe
09:46 I believe above the storm the smallest prayer
09:51 Will still be heard
09:55 I believe that someone in the great somewhere
10:00 Hears every word
10:04 Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
10:09 Or touch a leaf
10:12 Or see the sky
10:16 Then I know why
10:20 I believe.
10:34 There's power in prayer.
10:36 When we pray for others, God can work on their behalf
10:39 and He'll draw close to those that you're praying for.
10:42 That's the message in this next song.
10:44 Let's listen as the Kids Time Singers sing,
10:47 "Kum Ba Yah".
10:57 Kum ba ya, my Lord
11:01 Kum ba ya
11:05 Kum ba ya, my Lord
11:09 Kum ba ya
11:12 Kum ba ya, my Lord
11:16 Kum ba ya
11:20 Oh, Lord
11:23 Kum ba ya
11:27 Someone's crying, Lord
11:31 Kum ba ya
11:34 Someone's crying, Lord
11:38 Kum ba ya
11:42 Someone's crying, Lord
11:45 Kum ba ya
11:49 Oh, Lord
11:53 Kum ba ya
11:57 Someone's singing, Lord
12:00 Kum ba ya
12:04 Someone's singing, Lord
12:08 Kum ba ya
12:11 Someone's singing, Lord
12:15 Kum ba ya
12:19 Oh, Lord
12:23 Kum ba ya
12:26 Someone's praying, Lord
12:30 Kum ba ya
12:34 Someone's praying, Lord
12:37 Kum ba ya
12:41 Someone's praying, Lord
12:45 Kum ba ya
12:49 Oh, Lord
12:52 Kum ba ya.
13:00 The Bible says
13:01 that where two or three are gathered in His name,
13:04 He is there with them.
13:06 Spending time alone with God in prayer is important,
13:09 but don't forget to pray with others as well.
13:12 Praying with friends
13:13 draws you near to each other and closer to God.
13:17 Listen now as Eliann plays on a violin,
13:19 "We Gather Together".
14:09 We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing
14:15 He chastens and hastens His will to make known
14:21 The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing
14:27 Sing praises to His name He forgets not His own
14:34 Sing praises to His name
14:38 He forgets not His own.
14:52 God's telephone line is always open.
14:54 No matter what time or day or night it is,
14:57 He wants to hear from you.
14:59 Even if it seems like He's far away,
15:01 as soon as you start praying,
15:03 dear Jesus, you can be sure
15:05 He's right by your side
15:07 intently listening to every word that you speak.
15:10 Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.
15:14 In fact, He's the only one
15:15 you can truly trust with all your problems.
15:18 Nothing is too big or too small for Jesus to care about.
15:22 And no voice is too quite for him to hear.
15:25 4 Christ, a group of four sisters will now sing,
15:28 "Whisper a Prayer".
15:36 Whisper a prayer
15:40 In the morning
15:45 Whisper a prayer
15:49 At noon
15:53 Whisper a prayer
15:57 In the evening
16:02 So keep your heart
16:06 In tune
16:11 God answers prayer
16:15 In the morning
16:20 God answers prayer
16:24 At noon
16:29 God answers prayer
16:32 In the evening
16:37 So keep your heart
16:42 In tune
16:47 Jesus may come
16:50 In the morning
16:56 Jesus may come
16:59 At noon
17:04 Jesus may come
17:08 In the evening
17:13 So keep your heart
17:17 In tune
17:22 So keep your heart
17:28 In tune
17:36 What if you had a friend
17:37 who never called you on the phone to ask
17:39 how you are or to share anything personal?
17:42 The only time they call was to ask for something.
17:45 How many times would it take
17:46 before you started letting their calls go
17:48 straight to voice mail?
17:50 Think about that the next time you pray to God.
17:53 Why are you coming to Him?
17:55 Are you simply asking Him to do things for you
17:57 or do you want to have
17:59 an actual conversation with Him?
18:01 Do you ever tell Him how much He means to you?
18:03 How thankful you are for His presence in your life?
18:06 If you haven't already,
18:08 make it a habit to include praise
18:10 during your prayer time.
18:12 Sam will sing this song, a medley of praises,
18:15 "As the Deer I Love You Lord and Praise Him".
18:33 As the deer panteth For the water
18:39 So my soul longeth after you
18:47 You alone are my heart's desire
18:53 And I long to worship you
19:00 You alone are my strength, my shield
19:06 To You
19:08 May my spirit yield
19:14 You alone are my heart's desire
19:20 And I long to worship You
19:43 I love You, Lord
19:47 And I lift my voice
19:54 To worship You
20:00 Oh, my soul, rejoice!
20:06 Take joy my King
20:10 In what You hear
20:16 Let it be a sweet,
20:20 Sweet sound
20:23 In Your ear
20:28 Let it be a sweet,
20:32 Sweet sound
20:35 In Your ear.
20:45 Have you ever lost something
20:46 and prayed that God would help you find it.
20:49 Maybe it was your homework or the key to your house.
20:52 It's important to pray for things
20:54 that are lost, isn't it?
20:55 Remember the sheep that was lost.
20:57 The shepherd went out and searched for that sheep
20:59 until he found it.
21:01 That's how Jesus is with us.
21:03 He gives us His free gift of salvation,
21:06 but there might be times we lose the grip we have on it.
21:09 During those times of struggle,
21:11 we need to pray extra hard
21:13 that we stay close to Jesus and hold on to His promises.
21:17 Listen as The Adventist Children's Chorus Sings,
21:19 "Do Lord".
21:26 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
21:31 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
21:35 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
21:40 Way beyond the blue
21:44 I've got a home in glory Land that out-shines the sun
21:49 I've got a home in glory Land that out-shines the sun
21:53 I've got a home in glory Land that out-shines the sun
21:58 Way beyond the blue
22:03 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
22:07 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
22:12 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
22:16 Way beyond the blue
22:21 I took Jesus as my Savior You take Him too
22:26 I took Jesus as my Savior You take Him too
22:30 I took Jesus as my Savior You take Him too
22:35 Way beyond the blue
22:40 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
22:44 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
22:49 Do Lord, O, Do Lord O do remember me
22:54 Way beyond the blue.
23:03 Jesus loves it when we pray to Him.
23:05 In fact, I love to talk to Jesus all day long,
23:08 whether I'm driving in the car going down the road,
23:11 I talk to Jesus.
23:12 Maybe it's while I'm cooking supper for my family.
23:14 Anytime day or night
23:16 we can talk to God and you can too.
23:19 Now if you think you don't know how to pray,
23:21 I want you to know it's not hard to do it at all.
23:24 It's like meeting a new friend.
23:26 Your friendship grows
23:28 the more time you spend with each other.
23:30 And as you share from your heart,
23:32 the bond between you strengthens.
23:34 It's the same with God.
23:36 He just wants you to talk to Him
23:37 like you were a friend.
23:39 Share from your heart
23:40 and tell Him what's on your mind.
23:42 Thank Him for understanding you when no one else does.
23:46 And if you take time and be quite and listen,
23:48 God will speak to your heart too.
23:51 Here is Sofia to sing, "Teach Us How To Pray".
24:00 Teach us to pray
24:05 Teach us to pray
24:09 We are Your children
24:14 Help us know just what to say
24:19 Teach us to worship
24:24 Love and adore You
24:28 With Your understanding
24:33 Teach us
24:38 Teach us to pray
24:52 Lead us in truth
24:57 Show us Your ways
25:01 Grant us Your wisdom
25:06 Speak and we'll obey
25:13 Teach us to worship
25:18 Love and adore you
25:22 With Your understanding
25:27 Teach us
25:32 Teach us
25:36 To pray
25:45 Boys and girls, prayer is the key
25:47 that unlocks the storehouses of heaven.
25:50 I want to encourage you to pray big prayers
25:52 because all things are possible with God.
25:56 Ask Him to use you in a great mighty way
25:59 and He will.
26:01 Never be afraid of what God might think of you
26:03 because His love is unconditional.
26:07 In fact, did you know there is nothing you can do
26:10 that would ever make Jesus stop loving you.
26:13 Now, if you have done something that you know you shouldn't,
26:16 tell God about it.
26:18 He wants to forgive you.
26:19 And He definitely wants to save you.
26:23 In fact, He can't imagine heaven without you.
26:26 Jesus loves you, boys and girls,
26:28 and He's coming again soon
26:30 to take us home to heaven with Him.
26:32 Well, that's all the time we have today.
26:35 Remember, it's Kid's Time to praise Jesus.
