If you're watching this program,
00:00:31.73\00:00:33.76
I'm pretty sure
00:00:33.80\00:00:35.13
like me, you desire a home
where Christ can feel at home.
00:00:35.16\00:00:38.70
Deuteronomy 6:5-7 tells us,
00:00:38.73\00:00:42.00
"Love the Lord, your
God, with all your heart,
00:00:42.04\00:00:44.44
with all your soul,
with all your strength.
00:00:44.47\00:00:47.14
These commandments
that I give you today
00:00:47.18\00:00:49.31
are to be in your hearts,
impress them on your children.
00:00:49.34\00:00:52.88
Talk about them
when you sit at home
00:00:52.91\00:00:54.95
and when you walk along the road
00:00:54.98\00:00:57.25
and when you lie
down and when you get up."
00:00:57.29\00:00:59.65
These verses speak volumes
about how our belief in God
00:00:59.69\00:01:03.43
should be an integral
and influential part of us
00:01:03.46\00:01:06.56
in our spirit, to
our family members,
00:01:06.59\00:01:08.80
in public and at home.
00:01:08.83\00:01:11.30
My heart breaks for homes
00:01:11.33\00:01:12.93
where no word is
spoken about the love of God,
00:01:12.97\00:01:16.14
because it has,
as it has been said,
00:01:16.17\00:01:18.44
so the home goes,
so goes the nation.
00:01:18.47\00:01:22.48
Proverbs 24:3-4 says,
00:01:22.51\00:01:25.01
"By wisdom, a house is built,
00:01:25.05\00:01:26.85
and by
understanding it is established,
00:01:26.88\00:01:29.55
by knowledge
the rooms are filled
00:01:29.58\00:01:31.29
with all precious
and pleasant riches."
00:01:31.32\00:01:33.96
I can think of nothing
greater and more affordable
00:01:33.99\00:01:37.23
than filling my home
with the wisdom of God.
00:01:37.26\00:01:39.63
And I joined
Joshua in declaring that
00:01:39.66\00:01:41.56
as for me and my household,
we will serve the Lord.
00:01:41.60\00:01:44.70
Happy the home When God is there
00:01:50.14\00:01:55.48
And love fills every breast
00:01:55.51\00:02:00.82
When one their wish
And one their prayer
00:02:00.85\00:02:06.55
And one their heavenly rest
00:02:06.59\00:02:10.06
Happy the home
00:02:14.76\00:02:16.87
Where Jesus' name
Is sweet to every ear
00:02:16.90\00:02:22.10
Where children
early speak His fame
00:02:25.17\00:02:31.01
And parents hold Him dear
00:02:31.05\00:02:34.95
Father God, thank You so much
00:02:40.49\00:02:42.46
for the
opportunity and the privilege
00:02:42.49\00:02:45.16
to have young
people in our home,
00:02:45.19\00:02:47.60
to live our lives with them,
00:02:47.63\00:02:49.70
glorifying You to
the best of our ability.
00:02:49.73\00:02:52.90
I pray, Lord Jesus,
that You would show us ways
00:02:52.93\00:02:55.37
in which we can shine for You
00:02:55.40\00:02:57.77
in front of these young people
that we can impart to them
00:02:57.81\00:03:01.61
our love for You
00:03:01.64\00:03:03.71
and the desire to
serve You, Lord Jesus,
00:03:03.75\00:03:05.98
and all that they
do in their lives.
00:03:06.01\00:03:08.88
I pray, Father God,
00:03:08.92\00:03:10.25
that You would
touch each one of them
00:03:10.29\00:03:12.25
with Your Holy Spirit,
fill them to overflowing.
00:03:12.29\00:03:15.39
Lord Jesus,
00:03:15.42\00:03:16.76
set these young
lives on fire for You.
00:03:16.79\00:03:19.69
And if we may be
00:03:19.73\00:03:21.06
some small part of
that kindling, Lord,
00:03:21.10\00:03:23.63
show us how,
00:03:23.67\00:03:25.00
show us where we can
be better and do better
00:03:25.03\00:03:28.34
to show these children the
way, the truth and the life.
00:03:28.37\00:03:32.14
Heavenly Father,
00:03:35.31\00:03:36.81
I pray for the Christian family.
00:03:36.85\00:03:40.15
There're so many homes
spread around the globe
00:03:40.18\00:03:44.32
that are under assault,
under pressure from the enemy.
00:03:44.35\00:03:48.32
Father, I pray that
You protect our homes,
00:03:48.36\00:03:50.99
that You protect the
children in those homes,
00:03:51.03\00:03:53.36
that You protect the parents,
00:03:53.40\00:03:55.26
the mother and the
father in these homes.
00:03:55.30\00:03:59.03
Father, we need You now
00:03:59.07\00:04:00.40
in this day and
age more than ever,
00:04:00.44\00:04:02.30
because the enemy
does not want the family
00:04:02.34\00:04:04.87
to be a family of God.
00:04:04.91\00:04:07.48
Father, bless the families
of those hearing this prayer,
00:04:07.51\00:04:11.71
give them strength and guidance
00:04:11.75\00:04:13.92
that they can withstand
the evil arrayed against them
00:04:13.95\00:04:17.25
and that they might
lead their families,
00:04:17.29\00:04:19.72
their children, their
husband, or their wife
00:04:19.75\00:04:23.26
to eternal glory
00:04:23.29\00:04:25.09
in the name of Jesus Christ.
00:04:25.13\00:04:27.06
Amen.
00:04:27.10\00:04:30.37
Dear God, thank
You for our homes,
00:04:30.40\00:04:32.87
thank You for
shelter, thank You for family.
00:04:32.90\00:04:35.90
I pray that You will bless
00:04:35.94\00:04:37.34
and protect our homes from harm.
00:04:37.37\00:04:39.44
I pray for those
00:04:39.47\00:04:40.81
who do not have
the blessing of homes
00:04:40.84\00:04:42.64
that You will bless
and protect them as well.
00:04:42.68\00:04:45.38
Keep us safe and healthy
00:04:45.41\00:04:47.15
as we continue on
in your abundant grace.
00:04:47.18\00:04:50.39
We ask these
things in Jesus' name.
00:04:50.42\00:04:52.62
Amen.
00:04:52.65\00:04:53.99
Happy the home
where prayer is heard
00:04:58.63\00:05:04.70
And praise is wont to rise
00:05:04.73\00:05:10.61
Where parents
love The sacred Word
00:05:10.64\00:05:16.71
And all its wisdom prize
00:05:16.75\00:05:21.25
Lord, let us in our homes agree
00:05:25.85\00:05:32.29
This blessed peace to gain
00:05:32.33\00:05:35.60
Unite our hearts In love to Thee
00:05:38.70\00:05:42.10
And love to all will reign
00:05:45.11\00:05:49.54
Our most
precious Heavenly Father,
00:05:56.18\00:05:59.15
You have provided us
00:05:59.19\00:06:00.52
with such a
beautiful example of a home.
00:06:00.56\00:06:03.56
Lord, we want to be a
part of Your divine experience.
00:06:03.59\00:06:08.16
Love, compassion,
understanding and worship
00:06:08.20\00:06:13.23
are an integral
part of your home
00:06:13.27\00:06:15.34
that will never go away.
00:06:15.37\00:06:17.67
No more
arguments, no more cheating,
00:06:17.71\00:06:20.84
no more
unfaithfulness, no more abuse.
00:06:20.88\00:06:24.91
What an exciting
future we have with you, Lord.
00:06:24.95\00:06:28.78
We pray, we will be ready
00:06:28.82\00:06:30.69
to make the
journey to the new earth
00:06:30.72\00:06:32.79
You have so
delightfully prepared for us.
00:06:32.82\00:06:36.39
Please, please, Lord,
00:06:36.42\00:06:38.23
come soon and take us
quickly to Your heavenly home,
00:06:38.26\00:06:42.03
where we can savor Your love.
00:06:42.06\00:06:45.00
We ask all these
things in thy wonderful name.
00:06:45.03\00:06:48.34
Amen.
00:06:48.37\00:06:52.04
Dear Heavenly Father,
thank You so much for this day.
00:06:52.07\00:06:54.91
Thank You so much
for being my Father
00:06:54.94\00:06:57.65
that care for me,
00:06:57.68\00:06:59.01
but I want to
thank You so much more
00:06:59.05\00:07:00.72
for my home,
00:07:00.75\00:07:02.08
for the people who
are part of my home,
00:07:02.12\00:07:04.72
my children, my husband,
00:07:04.75\00:07:06.65
be with them
00:07:06.69\00:07:08.02
because each one of them
is important to you, Lord,
00:07:08.06\00:07:11.53
and You want them to be safe
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.86
and I want you to
be with the homes,
00:07:13.90\00:07:16.40
the Christian
homes, the Adventist homes
00:07:16.43\00:07:18.43
around the world
00:07:18.47\00:07:19.93
because they are the
light to this world right now.
00:07:19.97\00:07:24.14
As we face this time of trouble,
00:07:24.17\00:07:26.88
Lord, be with
each one of the homes,
00:07:26.91\00:07:28.88
the Christian homes,
00:07:28.91\00:07:30.25
so they can reach
out to their neighbors,
00:07:30.28\00:07:32.11
to those around them
00:07:32.15\00:07:33.62
and share Your
light, Your love with them.
00:07:33.65\00:07:36.89
Please help also all those homes
00:07:36.92\00:07:39.52
that don't know you, Lord,
00:07:39.55\00:07:40.89
that Your
Spirit may be with them
00:07:40.92\00:07:44.03
as they face
this time of trouble.
00:07:44.06\00:07:46.46
Lord, is hard on people,
00:07:46.49\00:07:49.13
isolation and
not be able to share
00:07:49.16\00:07:51.43
with other family members,
00:07:51.47\00:07:53.23
be in those homes, Lord,
00:07:53.27\00:07:55.10
that Your peace and
Your love and this time
00:07:55.14\00:07:57.97
can come through
00:07:58.01\00:07:59.67
and be with each one
of us in Jesus' name.
00:07:59.71\00:08:02.54
Amen.
00:08:02.58\00:08:03.91
Heavenly Father,
00:08:06.11\00:08:07.58
our homes are under
attack as never before,
00:08:07.62\00:08:11.35
our homes are where
we teach Your children
00:08:11.39\00:08:13.59
and grandchildren
00:08:13.62\00:08:14.96
about the goodness of our God.
00:08:14.99\00:08:17.09
Let angels that
excel in strength
00:08:17.13\00:08:19.39
be around us to protect us
from the attacks of the devil.
00:08:19.43\00:08:23.87
Thank You, Lord,
00:08:23.90\00:08:25.23
for the promise
of Your protection
00:08:25.27\00:08:27.17
in Jesus' name.
00:08:27.20\00:08:28.80
Amen.
00:08:28.84\00:08:30.17
Isaiah foresaw a day,
00:08:33.17\00:08:35.88
Dear God,
00:08:35.91\00:08:37.25
when Your people will live
in peaceful dwelling places,
00:08:37.28\00:08:41.12
in secure homes and
undisturbed places of rest.
00:08:41.15\00:08:46.76
Lord, I pray
00:08:46.79\00:08:48.72
that You will
let it happen today.
00:08:48.76\00:08:52.96
And, Jesus, You told the parable
00:08:52.99\00:08:54.40
of the rain coming down,
00:08:54.43\00:08:55.83
the streams rising
and the winds blowing
00:08:55.86\00:08:58.40
and beating against the house.
00:08:58.43\00:09:01.24
Yet it didn't fall
00:09:01.27\00:09:02.70
because it had its
foundation on the rock.
00:09:02.74\00:09:07.01
And, Lord, I choose today
to build my life upon You,
00:09:07.04\00:09:12.51
my firm foundation.
00:09:12.55\00:09:13.98
There are many prayer
requests that come in,
00:09:20.89\00:09:24.96
this one says,
00:09:24.99\00:09:26.33
please pray for God
00:09:26.36\00:09:27.70
to draw my friend
00:09:27.73\00:09:29.06
into a deeper relationship
with the Holy Spirit,
00:09:29.10\00:09:31.23
and to fill them with power,
love, Christ's mind, faith,
00:09:31.27\00:09:35.64
hope and beauty.
00:09:35.67\00:09:37.87
God, we want
these characteristics
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.54
in all of our lives, God.
00:09:39.57\00:09:42.61
Ask the Holy Spirit to
comfort and deliver them
00:09:42.64\00:09:45.11
from the enemy from all evil,
00:09:45.15\00:09:47.92
Holy Spirit, grant a
hunger for the Word of God
00:09:47.95\00:09:51.79
and lead them to the
right Christian teachers
00:09:51.82\00:09:55.62
of God's holy word.
00:09:55.66\00:09:58.36
Father, there are many
of us around this world
00:09:58.39\00:10:01.20
who have loved
ones that we want to see
00:10:01.23\00:10:05.70
turn their lives over to You,
00:10:05.73\00:10:07.84
that You would be their savior,
that you would be their Lord.
00:10:07.87\00:10:12.87
Oh God, save our loved ones.
00:10:12.91\00:10:14.94
Save them God.
00:10:17.91\00:10:19.45
We pray for those
00:10:22.78\00:10:24.39
who are facing anxiety and fear.
00:10:24.42\00:10:27.16
This one says,
00:10:30.96\00:10:32.29
"They have negative
thoughts that come to their mind
00:10:32.33\00:10:35.26
and they need
deliverance from this."
00:10:35.30\00:10:38.50
Please pray that I
will completely trust God
00:10:38.53\00:10:41.00
and do His will.
00:10:41.04\00:10:44.41
Another comes in and says,
00:10:44.44\00:10:46.44
"Pray for
healing for my daughter.
00:10:46.47\00:10:48.51
She has cancer and
it was in remission
00:10:48.54\00:10:52.11
and she had to
continue with treatment."
00:10:52.15\00:10:55.52
Another says,
00:10:55.55\00:10:56.89
"Pray for my
aunt who has cancer,
00:10:56.92\00:10:58.82
pray for my family,
00:10:58.85\00:11:00.19
that they will completely
give their hearts to the Lord.
00:11:00.22\00:11:04.76
Pray for our close friend
00:11:04.79\00:11:06.26
who is struggling
with his Christian faith,
00:11:06.29\00:11:09.13
as well as with some
long-term mental health issues.
00:11:09.16\00:11:13.57
Please pray that he
will not lose faith,
00:11:13.60\00:11:17.21
that God will heal him mentally,
00:11:17.24\00:11:20.24
and will bring him peace."
00:11:20.28\00:11:21.61
Father God,
00:11:25.48\00:11:28.82
thank You, Lord, that
You, You are the answer.
00:11:28.85\00:11:32.02
You are the answer to this world
00:11:32.05\00:11:34.79
and to their needs.
00:11:34.82\00:11:37.59
You are the answer
to our world's hurts.
00:11:37.63\00:11:41.50
So, Father, I pray that
You will reveal Yourself,
00:11:41.53\00:11:47.57
reveal the answer.
00:11:47.60\00:11:48.94
Proverbs 3:33 says,
00:11:53.74\00:11:57.51
"The Lord's curse is on
the house of the wicked,
00:11:57.55\00:12:01.48
but He blesses the
home of the righteous."
00:12:01.52\00:12:06.05
And Psalm 91:1-2 says,

"Whoever dwells in the
shelter of the Most High
00:12:10.56\00:12:14.20
will rest in the
shadow of the Almighty.
00:12:14.23\00:12:17.20
I will say of the Lord,
00:12:17.23\00:12:19.00
He is my refuge and my fortress,
00:12:19.03\00:12:23.94
and my God in whom I trust."
00:12:23.97\00:12:26.01

00:12:31.35\00:12:35.42
for being the Lord of your home,
00:12:35.45\00:12:37.35
and pray for those who you know
need a closer walk with Him.
