Today, I want to pray about
disease prevention and cure.
00:00:31.59\00:00:35.20
With virtually new illnesses
00:00:35.23\00:00:36.70
that are overwhelming our
bodies and health systems,
00:00:36.73\00:00:39.57
there has been an increase
and a greater acceptance
00:00:39.60\00:00:42.10
of becoming more vigilant
00:00:42.14\00:00:43.54
with what we
put into our bodies.
00:00:43.57\00:00:45.94
More people are
accepting the fact
00:00:45.97\00:00:47.78
that the Bible's
principles of health are exactly
00:00:47.81\00:00:49.98
what we should be following
00:00:50.01\00:00:51.35
in order to
strengthen our immune system
00:00:51.38\00:00:53.42
against viruses,
bacterial infections, cancers,
00:00:53.45\00:00:57.12
heart disease, and so on.
00:00:57.15\00:00:59.29
One should think of the
Bible as an owner's manual.
00:00:59.32\00:01:02.22
In it, our Creator God gives
specific instructions on how
00:01:02.26\00:01:05.73
we are to care for our body.
00:01:05.76\00:01:07.80
3 John 1:2 says,
00:01:07.83\00:01:10.53
"Beloved, I
wish above all things
00:01:10.57\00:01:12.63
that you may
prosper and be in health,
00:01:12.67\00:01:15.00
even as your soul prospers."
00:01:15.04\00:01:18.07
I hope that you'll take
this passage to heart today,
00:01:18.11\00:01:20.48
literally,
00:01:20.51\00:01:21.84
and begin to
search the scripture
00:01:21.88\00:01:23.21
perhaps as never before,
00:01:23.24\00:01:24.91
for guidance on how
you may become healthier,
00:01:24.95\00:01:27.52
both physically and spiritually.
00:01:27.55\00:01:30.12
If there ever was a time
00:01:30.15\00:01:31.52
that we are to be as Daniel
and his three Hebrew friends
00:01:31.55\00:01:35.29
who made a firm commitment
00:01:35.32\00:01:36.93
to not defile their bodies
00:01:36.96\00:01:38.43
with the portions
of the king's meat,
00:01:38.46\00:01:40.60
it's today.
00:01:40.63\00:01:41.96
I am weak but
00:01:51.47\00:01:53.84
Thou art strong
00:01:53.88\00:01:57.98
Jesus keep me from all wrong
00:01:58.01\00:02:04.95
I'll be satisfied
00:02:04.99\00:02:08.26
As long As I walk,
00:02:08.29\00:02:13.90
let me walk close to Thee
00:02:13.93\00:02:20.77
Just a closer walk with Thee
00:02:20.80\00:02:27.28
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
00:02:27.31\00:02:34.15
Daily walking close to Thee
00:02:34.18\00:02:40.76
Let it be
00:02:40.79\00:02:43.49
Dear Lord, let it be
00:02:43.53\00:02:48.00
Our most gracious,
gracious Heavenly Father,
00:02:51.97\00:02:55.30
we humbly bow before You
00:02:55.34\00:02:57.11
now as our
creator, our sustainer,
00:02:57.14\00:02:59.61
our greater mighty physician.
00:02:59.64\00:03:02.14
We are asking for Your direction
00:03:02.18\00:03:04.45
as we search the
scriptures for guidance,
00:03:04.48\00:03:07.45
and properly caring for
00:03:07.48\00:03:09.05
and
strengthening our body temples.
00:03:09.08\00:03:11.62
We ask for Your guidance
00:03:11.65\00:03:13.32
and maybe supplements
and other health principles
00:03:13.36\00:03:17.03
that we can apply
to help in healing
00:03:17.06\00:03:19.76
and help in
strengthening our bodies.
00:03:19.79\00:03:22.50
We ask that as we learn
00:03:22.53\00:03:24.30
and we implement
these new instructions
00:03:24.33\00:03:26.60
that You will
mightily bless our efforts
00:03:26.63\00:03:29.64
with Your healing touch.
00:03:29.67\00:03:31.34
I truly believe
as we do our part,
00:03:31.37\00:03:34.38
we can firmly hold on in faith
00:03:34.41\00:03:37.38
knowing that You
our Heavenly Father
00:03:37.41\00:03:40.22
will do Your part
as You have promised.
00:03:40.25\00:03:43.08
God, I ask that You
please comfort the hurting.
00:03:43.12\00:03:48.19
So many people
have lost loved ones.
00:03:48.22\00:03:51.46
So many people have lost
people that are dear to them.
00:03:51.49\00:03:55.16
We ask that You help
those who are grieving right now
00:03:55.20\00:03:58.03
with an extra amount of peace
00:03:58.07\00:04:00.44
that passes all understanding
that only You can do.
00:04:00.47\00:04:04.44
And, Father, we ask that
00:04:04.47\00:04:05.81
You continue to
bring conviction,
00:04:05.84\00:04:07.61
bring conversion to
the hearts of Your people,
00:04:07.64\00:04:10.51
that though we feel that
00:04:10.55\00:04:11.88
we're walking through the valley
00:04:11.91\00:04:13.25
of the shadow of death,
00:04:13.28\00:04:14.65
we may not fear,
00:04:14.68\00:04:16.15
but we can be
comforted in knowing that
00:04:16.18\00:04:18.29
You are spiritually
carrying us through,
00:04:18.32\00:04:20.82
we pray this in Jesus' name.
00:04:20.86\00:04:22.89
Amen.
00:04:22.92\00:04:24.26
Our most gracious and
loving Heavenly Father,
00:04:27.96\00:04:31.03
we come before You today
to throw up our petitions
00:04:31.07\00:04:35.00
for everybody around the world
00:04:35.04\00:04:38.71
for their health prevention,
00:04:38.74\00:04:40.54
and a cure for
everything that ails them.
00:04:40.58\00:04:44.25
Lord, we know that You
are the great physician,
00:04:44.28\00:04:47.18
but we ask that You
give Your healing hand
00:04:47.22\00:04:50.55
and the guiding hand
00:04:50.59\00:04:52.09
for all the medical
professionals out there.
00:04:52.12\00:04:54.46
All of the
doctors, all of the nurses,
00:04:54.49\00:04:56.62
all of the lab techs,
00:04:56.66\00:04:58.39
all of the people
00:04:58.43\00:04:59.76
that are helping
every individual out there
00:04:59.79\00:05:02.10
that is going through
any kind of health issues
00:05:02.13\00:05:07.04
from virus
infections to physical ailments,
00:05:07.07\00:05:11.21
from heart disease, cancers.
00:05:11.24\00:05:13.27
Lord, we know
that You are the cure,
00:05:13.31\00:05:16.75
that You are
the great physician.
00:05:16.78\00:05:18.81
You are there for us
physically, mentally,
00:05:18.85\00:05:21.45
and spiritually in our ailment.
00:05:21.48\00:05:23.85
And, Lord, especially
in our spiritual walk,
00:05:23.89\00:05:26.45
we need You now more than ever,
00:05:26.49\00:05:28.96
and by Your
stripes we are healed.
00:05:28.99\00:05:31.43
In Jesus' name I pray.
00:05:31.46\00:05:32.99
Amen.
00:05:33.03\00:05:34.36
Through this
world of toil And snares
00:05:40.97\00:05:46.68
If I falter
00:05:46.71\00:05:48.91
Lord who cares?
00:05:48.94\00:05:53.11
Who with me my burden shares?
00:05:53.15\00:05:58.35
O none but Thee Dear Lord
00:05:58.39\00:06:02.89
None but Thee
00:06:02.92\00:06:07.73
Just a closer walk
00:06:07.76\00:06:10.83
with Thee
00:06:10.87\00:06:14.40
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
00:06:14.44\00:06:20.88
Daily walking close to Thee
00:06:20.91\00:06:27.28
O let it be
00:06:27.32\00:06:30.55
Dear Lord, let it be
00:06:30.59\00:06:35.49
Lord, Your Word tells us
that You desire us to prosper
00:06:39.69\00:06:42.90
and be in good health.
00:06:42.93\00:06:44.87
We come before Your
throne claiming that promise.
00:06:44.90\00:06:48.17
God, You have seen the effects
00:06:48.20\00:06:49.54
that sin has
caused on our health
00:06:49.57\00:06:51.24
and in our society.
00:06:51.27\00:06:53.38
I know there is
no problem too big
00:06:53.41\00:06:55.28
You cannot solve it
00:06:55.31\00:06:56.64
and no prayer so
small you do not hear it.
00:06:56.68\00:07:00.08
Therefore, we
come seeking Your help
00:07:00.12\00:07:02.38
for healing with those
that are sick and suffering.
00:07:02.42\00:07:06.59
Give wisdom and resources
00:07:06.62\00:07:07.96
to find a cure
where it is needed.
00:07:07.99\00:07:10.59
Thank You, Lord,
for the counsel You give
00:07:10.63\00:07:12.59
on how to boost
our immune systems
00:07:12.63\00:07:14.43
by using resources in nature.
00:07:14.46\00:07:17.93
I pray that You would
help us to use these resources
00:07:17.97\00:07:21.37
like fresh air,
sunshine, water, and exercise
00:07:21.40\00:07:25.47
along with trusting in You
to keep our bodies healthy.
00:07:25.51\00:07:29.61
God, please be
our great physician
00:07:29.64\00:07:31.35
during this time of need
00:07:31.38\00:07:32.71
and sustain our health
according to Your will I pray.
00:07:32.75\00:07:35.85
Amen.
00:07:35.88\00:07:37.22
Our most gracious and
loving Father in heaven,
00:07:40.56\00:07:44.33
we thank You and
praise You for today.
00:07:44.36\00:07:47.46
Lord, many people are suffering
and seeking cure right now.
00:07:47.50\00:07:52.83
I pray that You
will be with them,
00:07:52.87\00:07:55.60
heal them physically,
mentally, and spiritually
00:07:55.64\00:07:59.64
according to Your will.
00:07:59.67\00:08:01.94
And, Father,
00:08:01.98\00:08:03.48
please guide the
doctors and nurses,
00:08:03.51\00:08:07.22
as well as the
medical missionaries
00:08:07.25\00:08:09.98
who are trying to
relieve the sick ones.
00:08:10.02\00:08:13.49
And, Lord,
00:08:13.52\00:08:14.86
help us to practice
a healthy lifestyle.
00:08:14.89\00:08:18.13
And may the words we say
00:08:18.16\00:08:19.83
and the things we do
00:08:19.86\00:08:21.33
would bring
glory and honor to You.
00:08:21.36\00:08:24.73
Thank You, Lord,
00:08:24.77\00:08:26.10
for hearing and
answering our prayer,
00:08:26.13\00:08:28.84
in Jesus' name.
00:08:28.87\00:08:30.21
Amen.
00:08:30.24\00:08:31.57
Most Gracious Heavenly Father,
00:08:35.11\00:08:36.44
I come before
You in the matchless
00:08:36.48\00:08:37.81
and worthy name of
Your Son Jesus Christ,
00:08:37.85\00:08:39.78
who lived on earth as a man
00:08:39.81\00:08:41.15
and suffered the same
things that we suffer.
00:08:41.18\00:08:43.59
Father, I confess
00:08:43.62\00:08:44.95
that we have
often been rebellious
00:08:44.99\00:08:46.32
in regard to Your instruction
00:08:46.35\00:08:47.69
for keeping our body
temples pure and holy
00:08:47.72\00:08:50.13
and refused to
follow Your instructions.
00:08:50.16\00:08:52.09
Forgive us I pray.
00:08:52.13\00:08:53.50
Today, Father,
knowing Your desire
00:08:53.53\00:08:56.03
that we prosper
and be in health.
00:08:56.06\00:08:57.60
We come before You asking,
00:08:57.63\00:08:58.97
first of all
that You fill the sick
00:08:59.00\00:09:00.34
and afflicted with
hope and confidence in You.
00:09:00.37\00:09:03.10
We pray that You would
turn their sorrow into joy
00:09:03.14\00:09:05.27
as You have promised
00:09:05.31\00:09:06.64
that the seemingly
bad situation would work
00:09:06.68\00:09:08.71
for their salvation
and for that of others.
00:09:08.74\00:09:11.31
Father, for those
who are in good health,
00:09:11.35\00:09:13.01
we pray that they
will follow the counsel
00:09:13.05\00:09:14.82
and promptings
of the Holy Spirit
00:09:14.85\00:09:16.82
to be cooperative
in doing the things
00:09:16.85\00:09:19.29
that will keep us healthy.
00:09:19.32\00:09:21.02
Finally, Father, we
ask that You heal our minds
00:09:21.06\00:09:23.43
and give us the mind of Jesus
00:09:23.46\00:09:24.79
who is victorious over
all temptations and live
00:09:24.83\00:09:26.93
so that we might have
life more abundant here
00:09:26.96\00:09:29.30
and life eternal.
00:09:29.33\00:09:30.70
Thank You for hearing
and answering my prayer
00:09:30.73\00:09:32.63
according to Your
will, in Jesus' name.
00:09:32.67\00:09:35.17
Amen.
00:09:35.20\00:09:36.54
We read in the
Bible a couple of verses
00:09:39.81\00:09:41.84
that remind us
00:09:41.88\00:09:43.21
that it's not only
sicknesses in our body of...
00:09:43.24\00:09:48.58
Organs that need healing.
00:09:53.05\00:09:55.99
It's also our
spirit that can be broken,
00:09:56.02\00:10:00.53
but Psalm 147:3 says,
00:10:00.56\00:10:04.33
"He, meaning Jesus,
00:10:04.37\00:10:05.73
heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds."
00:10:05.77\00:10:10.94
And Proverbs 17:22 says,
00:10:10.97\00:10:12.94
"A cheerful
heart is good medicine,
00:10:12.97\00:10:15.98
but a crushed
spirit dries up the bones."
00:10:16.01\00:10:18.85
Father, I just
want to pray right now
00:10:18.88\00:10:20.58
for those who are
suffering from a broken heart
00:10:20.62\00:10:25.79
whose spirit has been crushed,
00:10:25.82\00:10:28.19
maybe by
something someone said or
00:10:28.22\00:10:33.29
situation that
they've gone through
00:10:33.33\00:10:34.66
that has disheartened them.
00:10:34.70\00:10:37.47
Maybe a loss or a harm.
00:10:37.50\00:10:41.74
God, I just ask
that You would reach down
00:10:41.77\00:10:43.71
and as You are so faithful to do
00:10:43.74\00:10:46.71
be true to Your word,
00:10:46.74\00:10:49.28
that You will bind
up the brokenhearted.
00:10:49.31\00:10:53.08
Thank You, Father,
00:10:53.11\00:10:54.45
that You have such a love
and compassion for Your people.
00:10:54.48\00:10:58.85
I want to be kind and
compassionate like that.
00:10:58.89\00:11:01.92
So I pray that You will use me
00:11:01.96\00:11:04.93
to speak to
someone's life today,
00:11:04.96\00:11:09.23
to shine some light
00:11:09.26\00:11:10.60
and to be a
source of encouragement
00:11:10.63\00:11:15.70
to the brokenhearted.
00:11:15.74\00:11:18.57
Lord, many
viewers have written in.
00:11:18.61\00:11:23.31
One says,
00:11:23.35\00:11:24.68
"A friend and family
have been flooded out
00:11:24.71\00:11:26.45
of their home in Ohio."
00:11:26.48\00:11:29.75
She's asking for
salvation for the family.
00:11:29.78\00:11:31.92
And she's also
asking for a deeper faith
00:11:31.95\00:11:36.19
for prayer partners
00:11:36.22\00:11:39.73
that God would bless
her and grant her wisdom
00:11:39.76\00:11:43.13
as she studies the Word.
00:11:43.16\00:11:46.67
Father God, we can all use that.
00:11:46.70\00:11:50.41
We need more wisdom,
00:11:50.44\00:11:52.14
more understanding of Your Word.
00:11:52.17\00:11:56.31
A friend
00:11:56.34\00:11:57.68
who has been on a viewers' mind.
00:11:57.71\00:12:01.88
They don't know why,
00:12:01.92\00:12:04.29
but they're praying that
00:12:04.32\00:12:05.65
You would supply
him with a lot of faith.
00:12:05.69\00:12:09.39
God when you place something,
00:12:09.42\00:12:11.53
when a name or a
situation on our hearts,
00:12:11.56\00:12:14.60
help us to know that
that's not just coincidence.
00:12:14.63\00:12:19.53
The Holy Spirit thank you
00:12:19.57\00:12:20.90
for the way you
work in our lives
00:12:20.94\00:12:22.27
that you place
people's names on our hearts
00:12:22.30\00:12:24.51
that we take time to
stop and pray for them.
00:12:24.54\00:12:27.61
Help us to be sensitive to that.
00:12:27.64\00:12:29.01
There are viewers
00:12:33.25\00:12:34.58
who are asking for
prayer for jobs and finances.
00:12:34.62\00:12:38.05
Lord, I ask in Jesus' name
00:12:41.06\00:12:42.69
that You would provide
the right place for the people
00:12:42.72\00:12:48.06

prayer for their job
00:12:48.10\00:12:50.43

00:12:50.47\00:12:52.97
that You would provide
in a miraculous way, God,
00:12:53.00\00:12:56.30
that they will know it
had to be the hand of God,
00:12:56.34\00:12:59.61
that there is no
other excuse for it.
00:12:59.64\00:13:03.78
Father, for those who
are asking for deliverance,
00:13:07.12\00:13:11.52
Lord God,
00:13:11.55\00:13:15.39
deliver for those
who need a healing touch.
00:13:15.42\00:13:20.30
Oh, God, be their healer.
00:13:20.33\00:13:25.07
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says,
00:13:25.10\00:13:29.40
"Do you not know that
00:13:29.44\00:13:30.77
your bodies are
temples of the Holy Spirit
00:13:30.81\00:13:32.77
who is in you,
00:13:32.81\00:13:34.24
whom you have received from God,
00:13:34.28\00:13:36.41
you are not your own.
00:13:36.44\00:13:37.85
You were bought at a price,
00:13:37.88\00:13:39.88
therefore honor
God with your bodies."
00:13:39.91\00:13:42.98
