Today, I want to
pray for prisoners.
00:00:31.19\00:00:33.29
One of my favorite texts
to share with incarcerated
00:00:33.33\00:00:36.56
is found in Jeremiah 29:13-14.
00:00:36.60\00:00:40.47
"And you will
seek Me and find Me,
00:00:40.50\00:00:42.34
when you shall search
for Me with all your heart.
00:00:42.37\00:00:45.07
I will be found by
you, says the Lord,
00:00:45.11\00:00:47.04
and I will bring you
back from your captivity,
00:00:47.08\00:00:49.74
I will gather you
from all the nations
00:00:49.78\00:00:51.75
and from all the places
where I have driven you,
00:00:51.78\00:00:54.28
and I will
bring you to the place
00:00:54.32\00:00:56.02
from which I cause
you to be away captive."
00:00:56.05\00:01:00.16
The reason I like
this verse is the fact
00:01:00.19\00:01:02.52
that they are in captivity.
00:01:02.56\00:01:04.43
And in many ways we
ourselves are in captivity,
00:01:04.46\00:01:07.43
as long as we allow
Satan any part in our lives.
00:01:07.46\00:01:10.83
So we should share
with those in prison or jail
00:01:10.87\00:01:13.90
that God has a plan for them
00:01:13.94\00:01:15.80
to bring them out
of that captivity.
00:01:15.84\00:01:18.47
Years I spent in vanity
00:01:23.45\00:01:27.28
And pride
00:01:27.32\00:01:29.82
Caring not my Lord was crucified
00:01:29.85\00:01:35.62
Knowing not it was for me
00:01:35.66\00:01:38.86
He died on Calvary
00:01:38.89\00:01:44.00
Mercy there was great,
00:01:47.04\00:01:49.87
And grace was free
00:01:49.90\00:01:53.04
Pardon there
was multiplied to me
00:01:53.07\00:01:57.85
And there my
burdened soul found liberty
00:01:57.88\00:02:03.35
At Calvary
00:02:03.39\00:02:06.35
By God's Word at
last my sin I learned
00:02:11.06\00:02:17.00
Then I trembled at
the law I'd spurned
00:02:17.03\00:02:22.54
Till my guilty
soul imploring turned
00:02:22.57\00:02:27.04
To Calvary
00:02:27.08\00:02:30.05
Mercy there was great,
00:02:33.65\00:02:36.89
And grace was free
00:02:36.92\00:02:39.65
Pardon there
was multiplied to me
00:02:39.69\00:02:45.63
There my burdened soul
00:02:45.66\00:02:49.06
Found liberty at Calvary
00:02:49.10\00:02:55.07
Heavenly Father, we
find people in prisons today
00:03:01.04\00:03:04.25
because of an
act against society.
00:03:04.28\00:03:07.28
They were convicted and
sentenced to pay a penalty
00:03:07.32\00:03:09.95
for their transgressions.
00:03:09.98\00:03:11.95
Hopefully, this will renew
the relationship with society,
00:03:11.99\00:03:16.09
and to do the right
thing going forward.
00:03:16.12\00:03:18.83
We have all sinned,
but 1 John 1:9 says,
00:03:18.86\00:03:23.16
"If we confess our sins,
00:03:23.20\00:03:24.53
He is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins
00:03:24.57\00:03:26.70
and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness."
00:03:26.74\00:03:29.77
I pray that we can spend this
time in our own prison aside
00:03:29.80\00:03:33.78
to reflect on what we have done
and what Lord has done for us.
00:03:33.81\00:03:38.05
And they get a
right relationship
00:03:38.08\00:03:39.45
with our Heavenly Father.
00:03:39.48\00:03:40.82
Amen.
00:03:40.85\00:03:43.95
Our Heavenly Father, some have
found themselves in a prison
00:03:43.99\00:03:48.16
bound to small
quarters in a limited space,
00:03:48.19\00:03:51.49
but, Lord, You see them all,
00:03:51.53\00:03:53.29
You know their hearts,
and You love them dearly.
00:03:53.33\00:03:56.43
Draw their eyes
heavenward to their Redeemer
00:03:56.46\00:03:59.17
who loves them so very much.
00:03:59.20\00:04:01.50
And one day soon,
You will release them
00:04:01.54\00:04:04.47
from those prison doors.
00:04:04.51\00:04:06.44
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:04:06.47\00:04:08.28
Heavenly Father, I
pray for the prisoners.
00:04:11.38\00:04:15.12
I pray for those
who are incarcerated
00:04:15.15\00:04:17.99
for something that
they've done for some deed
00:04:18.02\00:04:21.36
that they did that
wasn't according to Your will.
00:04:21.39\00:04:24.66
Father, I ask that You
shed Your light upon them
00:04:24.69\00:04:29.30
that they might
see You as I see You
00:04:29.33\00:04:32.63
and that they may be
led to eternal glory.
00:04:32.67\00:04:37.14
There are those,
Father, in prison incarcerated
00:04:37.17\00:04:40.78
who seek You out.
00:04:40.81\00:04:42.51
Reveal Yourself
to them, Oh, Lord,
00:04:42.54\00:04:44.98
show them Your glory
in the glory of Your Son
00:04:45.01\00:04:48.85
so that they can be
led to eternity with You.
00:04:48.88\00:04:52.65
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:04:52.69\00:04:54.66
Oh, the love
00:04:58.73\00:05:00.70
That drew salvation's plan!
00:05:00.73\00:05:05.03
Oh, the grace
00:05:05.07\00:05:07.00
That brought it down to man!
00:05:07.04\00:05:11.17
Oh, the mighty gulf
00:05:11.21\00:05:14.34
That God did span at Calvary!
00:05:14.38\00:05:20.35
And now I've given
to Jesus everything
00:05:25.69\00:05:31.16
Now I gladly own Him
00:05:31.19\00:05:34.03
As my King
00:05:34.06\00:05:37.43
Now my raptured soul
00:05:37.47\00:05:40.24
Can only sing of Calvary!
00:05:40.27\00:05:46.24
Mercy there was great,
00:05:50.35\00:05:53.25
And grace was free
00:05:53.28\00:05:56.82
Pardon there
was multiplied to me
00:05:56.85\00:06:02.59
And there my burdened soul
00:06:02.62\00:06:06.46
Found liberty at Calvary
00:06:06.49\00:06:12.47
Dear, Father in heaven,
00:06:18.97\00:06:21.04
we were locked like
prisoners in a world of sin,
00:06:21.08\00:06:24.01
but Your Son paid the
ultimate price to set us free.
00:06:24.05\00:06:27.12
Thank You.
00:06:27.15\00:06:28.92
You told us go
into all the world
00:06:28.95\00:06:31.09
and preach the gospel.
00:06:31.12\00:06:33.02
You said I the
Lord have called you.
00:06:33.05\00:06:35.92
I will hold your hand.
00:06:35.96\00:06:37.76
I will keep you for
a light to the Gentiles
00:06:37.79\00:06:41.03
to bring out of
darkness the prisoners
00:06:41.06\00:06:44.00
from the prison of sin.
00:06:44.03\00:06:47.04
Lord, please give us
the desire, the strength,
00:06:47.07\00:06:50.87
and the wisdom we need to
share Your love with others.
00:06:50.91\00:06:55.48
So they'll follow You
and be set free as well.
00:06:55.51\00:06:59.35
In Jesus' name we
ask and thank You.
00:06:59.38\00:07:02.08
Amen.
00:07:02.12\00:07:05.55
Dear, Heavenly Father,
00:07:05.59\00:07:07.46
Your Word tells
us in Romans 8:37,
00:07:07.49\00:07:11.99
"Then all these things
we are more than conquerors
00:07:12.03\00:07:15.03
through Him that loved us."
00:07:15.06\00:07:17.47
There is no sin
great enough to separate us
00:07:17.50\00:07:20.74
from the power of Your blood
and the depths of Your love.
00:07:20.77\00:07:24.54
Father, I pray for
those behind bars today.
00:07:24.57\00:07:27.81
And not just those behind bars,
for any man is a slave to sin
00:07:27.84\00:07:32.85
who has not been redeemed by
the cleansing blood of Jesus.
00:07:32.88\00:07:36.38
And dear, Father, I
thank You for the blessed hope
00:07:36.42\00:07:39.39
that You have
given us in Romans 8:39,
00:07:39.42\00:07:43.46
"That neither height nor depth,
00:07:43.49\00:07:45.99
nor any other creature
shall be able to separate us
00:07:46.03\00:07:49.70
from the love of God which
is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
00:07:49.73\00:07:54.57
I thank You for Your
precious promises unto us,
00:07:54.60\00:07:57.54
dear, Lord Jesus.
00:07:57.57\00:07:58.91
And for the hope that
Philippians 4:13 declares
00:07:58.94\00:08:02.91
and that, "I can do all things
00:08:02.94\00:08:05.41
through Christ
who strengthens me."
00:08:05.45\00:08:08.68
Hebrews 13:3 says,
00:08:13.15\00:08:15.69
"Remember those
who are in prison,
00:08:15.72\00:08:18.19
as though in prison with them,
00:08:18.23\00:08:20.56
and those who are mistreated,
00:08:20.60\00:08:23.13
since you also are in the body."
00:08:23.16\00:08:26.37
Lord, I pray that
00:08:26.40\00:08:27.74
You will give us compassion.
00:08:27.77\00:08:33.81
Lord, may we take
advantage of the opportunity
00:08:33.84\00:08:36.91
that we have
when those doors open
00:08:36.95\00:08:40.52
to go and minister in prison.
00:08:40.55\00:08:43.15
Father, we have
means of sharing the gospel
00:08:43.18\00:08:45.82
with them through
email or through ministries
00:08:45.85\00:08:50.09
who can actually go
behind bars to minister
00:08:50.13\00:08:53.60
to them in person.
00:08:53.63\00:08:55.26
Father, may we
support with our prayers
00:08:55.30\00:08:57.47
and our money,
00:08:57.50\00:09:00.97
those who are in prison, Lord.
00:09:01.00\00:09:06.64
Father, I thank
You for Psalm 146:7.
00:09:06.68\00:09:10.55
It says, "Who executes
justice for the oppressed,
00:09:10.58\00:09:14.22
who gives food to the hungry.
00:09:14.25\00:09:16.75
The Lord sets
the prisoners free."
00:09:16.79\00:09:19.69
Father, I thank You for
justice for the oppressed.
00:09:19.72\00:09:22.59
Thank You for
food for the hungry.
00:09:22.62\00:09:25.46
And thank You for
being our freedom.
00:09:25.49\00:09:30.33
You set the
prisoners free, Lord,
00:09:30.37\00:09:32.27
Your Word declares it
and I thank You for that.
00:09:32.30\00:09:36.57
Father, I thank
You for our viewers
00:09:36.60\00:09:39.21
who send in prayer requests.
00:09:39.24\00:09:40.88
Lord, I pray that
You will hear the prayers
00:09:40.91\00:09:46.98
and requests for
healing and for deliverance
00:09:47.02\00:09:50.99
for families, and marriages,
00:09:51.02\00:09:53.05
and salvation.
00:09:53.09\00:09:54.46
Father, for the
one who has written in
00:09:58.49\00:10:00.96
requesting prayer for friends
00:10:01.00\00:10:03.77
who are having mental breakdown.
00:10:03.80\00:10:08.00
Father, for the
mother who says that
00:10:08.04\00:10:11.57
her son just died.
00:10:11.61\00:10:14.58
She and her
daughter need healing.
00:10:14.61\00:10:19.61
For the one praying for healing,
00:10:19.65\00:10:22.55
for the cancer,
00:10:22.58\00:10:28.96
for the woman
praying for her kidneys
00:10:28.99\00:10:31.49
to function again.
00:10:31.53\00:10:37.57
Father God, I
just ask in Jesus' name
00:10:37.60\00:10:44.11
that You would
provide healing Lord,
00:10:44.14\00:10:49.31
so much pain and...
00:10:49.34\00:10:53.92
God, we know that our
bodies were created in...
00:10:53.95\00:10:59.72
They were created the
way You wanted them to be,
00:10:59.75\00:11:03.99
to work and to
function correctly,
00:11:04.03\00:11:06.29
but we know that sin
entered into the world
00:11:06.33\00:11:10.60
and has made pretty much
00:11:10.63\00:11:13.84
everything go wrong.
00:11:13.87\00:11:18.07
But, Father, You
are able to heal,
00:11:18.11\00:11:20.08
there is no doubt in my
mind that You are able to heal.
00:11:20.11\00:11:24.11
Thank You for the stripes
00:11:24.15\00:11:26.25
that Christ
bore for our healing.
00:11:26.28\00:11:32.09
So we lay claim
on to those stripes,
00:11:32.12\00:11:34.99
we lay claim to the
blood of Jesus Christ
00:11:35.02\00:11:37.69
that washes away our sin.
00:11:37.73\00:11:42.23
Thank You God for salvation.
00:11:42.26\00:11:46.07
And thank You for Your
peace that You can bring in
00:11:46.10\00:11:49.34
into the situation of death
00:11:49.37\00:11:53.41
those who are left behind.
00:11:53.44\00:11:56.58
Lord, I pray that You
will be their strength.
00:11:56.61\00:12:03.32
One writes in and
says, "My sister-in-law
00:12:03.35\00:12:05.85
is 89 years old,
lives in a nursing home.
00:12:05.89\00:12:10.59
And there are a
couple of employees there
00:12:10.63\00:12:12.36
who are sick with the virus."
00:12:12.39\00:12:17.60
Lord, we pray
for those employees
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.43
that You will
definitely make them well,
00:12:19.47\00:12:23.67
heal their sickness.
00:12:23.71\00:12:26.04
And, Lord, we
pray for the patients.
00:12:26.07\00:12:28.41
Lord, we pray for
nursing homes around the world
00:12:28.44\00:12:33.15
for Your
protection from sickness.
00:12:33.18\00:12:38.49
Lord, want a confined area
for people to catch disease
00:12:38.52\00:12:44.89
and I just pray in Jesus' name
00:12:44.93\00:12:49.06
that You will grant wisdom
00:12:49.10\00:12:50.43
to the leaders of
those nursing homes
00:12:50.47\00:12:52.93
and those facilities.
00:12:52.97\00:12:54.30
Thank You for the
people who are working there,
00:12:54.34\00:12:56.07
the nurses, and the
doctors, and the caretakers.
00:12:56.10\00:12:59.81
Lord, You are faithful.
00:12:59.84\00:13:02.04
So we trust You
Lord to give wisdom.
00:13:02.08\00:13:08.62
Mercy there was
great, and grace was free
00:13:08.65\00:13:15.42
And pardon there was
multiplied to even me
00:13:15.46\00:13:21.63
There my burdened
soul found liberty
00:13:21.66\00:13:27.17
It was at Calvary
00:13:27.20\00:13:32.47
Matthew 25:36
00:13:36.01\00:13:37.71
says, "I was naked
and you clothed Me,
00:13:37.75\00:13:39.51
I was sick and you visited Me,
00:13:39.55\00:13:41.08
I was in prison
and you came to Me."
00:13:41.12\00:13:45.75
Don't forget that.
00:13:45.79\00:13:47.82
Thank you for taking
