Hi, and welcome to day
3 of 10 Days of Prayer,
00:00:15.81\00:00:18.78
a prayer
program from our friends
00:00:18.81\00:00:20.65
at revivalandreformation.org.
00:00:20.68\00:00:23.52
The Apostle Paul
gives us some pointed
00:00:23.55\00:00:25.75
and life saving
advice in Galatians 5:16.
00:00:25.79\00:00:29.52
When he tells us
to walk by the Spirit
00:00:29.56\00:00:31.69
and you will not gratify
the desires of the flesh.
00:00:31.73\00:00:34.76
There was nothing in
Jesus that even responded
00:00:34.80\00:00:37.43
to Satan's
untruths and deception.
00:00:37.47\00:00:39.90
Jesus did not consent to sin,
00:00:39.93\00:00:42.44
not even by a thought
did He yield to temptation,
00:00:42.47\00:00:46.04
so may it be with us.
00:00:46.07\00:00:48.14
Christ's humanity
was united with divinity.
00:00:48.18\00:00:51.05
Christ was
fitted for the conflict
00:00:51.08\00:00:52.81
by the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit.
00:00:52.85\00:00:55.05
And He came to make us partakers
00:00:55.08\00:00:56.69
of that divine nature.
00:00:56.72\00:00:58.62
So long as we are
united to Him by faith,
00:00:58.65\00:01:01.02
sin has no more
dominion over us.
00:01:01.06\00:01:03.66
God reaches for
the hand of faith in us
00:01:03.69\00:01:06.19
to direct it to cling
to the divinity of Christ
00:01:06.23\00:01:09.10
that we may attain to
perfection of character.
00:01:09.13\00:01:12.07
Listen to this great testimony
as told by a dear pastor.
00:01:12.10\00:01:16.84
Jerry was a hard worker.
00:01:16.87\00:01:18.44
He spent most of his
adult life as an iron worker
00:01:18.47\00:01:20.81
building
bridges and skyscrapers.
00:01:20.84\00:01:23.11
He was the guy
who would walk out
00:01:23.14\00:01:24.51
hundreds of feet above ground
00:01:24.55\00:01:26.18
on a narrow iron beam
00:01:26.21\00:01:27.85
and spot weld it
to another iron beam.
00:01:27.88\00:01:30.72
But although Jerry was
talented and hardworking,
00:01:30.75\00:01:33.49
he also abused
his body with alcohol,
00:01:33.52\00:01:35.72
tobacco, drugs,
promiscuity, and wild living.
00:01:35.76\00:01:39.36
Whenever a Christian
man would come to work,
00:01:39.39\00:01:41.40
Jerry would verbally and
emotionally persecute him,
00:01:41.43\00:01:44.00
hoping to drive
him from the job.
00:01:44.03\00:01:45.93
Jerry hated
Christianity and Christians.
00:01:45.97\00:01:49.40
As Jerry approached age 50,
he started getting depressed.
00:01:49.44\00:01:53.51
One day he
decided to end his life.
00:01:53.54\00:01:55.98
As he was driving
home to commit suicide,
00:01:56.01\00:01:58.41
he saw a sign for a
church along the highway.
00:01:58.45\00:02:01.48
The Holy Spirit put
a thought in his mind.
00:02:01.52\00:02:04.79
Maybe they can help me.
00:02:04.82\00:02:06.69
So Jerry pulled
into the parking lot
00:02:06.72\00:02:08.62
just as the church of school
was letting out for the day.
00:02:08.66\00:02:11.66
He approached the principal
00:02:11.69\00:02:13.03
and mumbled
something about needing help.
00:02:13.06\00:02:15.46
The principal gave
Jerry my number and said,
00:02:15.50\00:02:17.83
"This is the phone
number of our pastor,
00:02:17.87\00:02:19.90
please give him a call."
00:02:19.93\00:02:21.74
When Jerry called that evening,
00:02:21.77\00:02:23.10
he told me he was in trouble
and asked if I could help.
00:02:23.14\00:02:26.94
I phoned an elder
00:02:26.98\00:02:28.31
and together we went
right over to Jerry's house.
00:02:28.34\00:02:31.01
Jerry told us
everything and added,
00:02:31.05\00:02:33.38
"I can't believe
I've fallen so low
00:02:33.42\00:02:35.42
as to have a pastor in my home."
00:02:35.45\00:02:38.15
He said he tried everything
the world has to offer
00:02:38.19\00:02:40.42
without finding satisfaction,
00:02:40.46\00:02:42.52
so he had
decided to end his life.
00:02:42.56\00:02:45.06
I said, "Jerry, you
haven't yet tried everything
00:02:45.09\00:02:47.93
because you
haven't yet tried Jesus."
00:02:47.96\00:02:51.03
"You're right," he smirked.
00:02:51.07\00:02:52.77
"I haven't tried Jesus.
00:02:52.80\00:02:54.27
So what do I have
to do to try Jesus?"
00:02:54.30\00:02:57.61
I shared the simple
message of the gospel and asked,
00:02:57.64\00:03:00.78
"Is there any reason
why you wouldn't want
00:03:00.81\00:03:02.44
to receive
Jesus into your life?"
00:03:02.48\00:03:05.11
Jerry said,
00:03:05.15\00:03:06.48
"No, because
unless He does something
00:03:06.51\00:03:08.55
for me tonight,
00:03:08.58\00:03:09.92
I'm going to end my life."
00:03:09.95\00:03:11.85
Inviting Jerry to kneel with us,
00:03:11.89\00:03:13.49
I asked him to
repeat a prayer after me.
00:03:13.52\00:03:16.29
Right after we said amen,
Jerry grabbed my arm and said,
00:03:16.32\00:03:20.40
"Did you see that?"
00:03:20.43\00:03:22.30
"See what?" I asked.
00:03:22.33\00:03:24.23
Right as I said
amen, I opened my eyes
00:03:24.27\00:03:26.97
and saw a man
hovering over my head
00:03:27.00\00:03:29.07
with a very
evil look on his face
00:03:29.10\00:03:31.44
and then he
vanished through the ceiling.
00:03:31.47\00:03:33.44
You've got to believe me.
00:03:33.48\00:03:35.34
"I believe you, Jerry."
00:03:35.38\00:03:36.85
I said, "How do you feel now?"
00:03:36.88\00:03:39.51
After a moment of
reflection, he said,
00:03:39.55\00:03:41.98
"I feel good, really good.
00:03:42.02\00:03:44.65
I haven't felt this good
in a very long time ever.
00:03:44.69\00:03:47.96
What has happened to me?"
00:03:47.99\00:03:49.86
I explained,
"Jerry, you just asked Jesus
00:03:49.89\00:03:52.79
to come into your
life and forgive your sins.
00:03:52.83\00:03:55.53
He is now living in your heart.
00:03:55.56\00:03:57.60
That evil spirit you saw
00:03:57.63\00:03:59.00
was trying to get
you to end your life,
00:03:59.03\00:04:00.90
but Jesus drove him out."
00:04:00.94\00:04:03.41
Great joy filled
Jerry's home that night
00:04:03.44\00:04:05.77
so much so that
Jerry couldn't sleep.
00:04:05.81\00:04:08.28
He went through his home
removing all of his alcohol,
00:04:08.31\00:04:10.88
drugs, magazines,
00:04:10.91\00:04:12.58
and anything else he
could find that was sinful.
00:04:12.61\00:04:15.05
He put all that
stuff in a plastic bag
00:04:15.08\00:04:17.19
and buried it six
feet deep in his orchard.
00:04:17.22\00:04:20.92
The next day, he
drove to a nursery
00:04:20.96\00:04:22.89
and purchased a tree
to plant over the top
00:04:22.92\00:04:25.19
of all the stuff he had buried.
00:04:25.23\00:04:27.33
When I came to visit, he
showed me the tree and said,
00:04:27.36\00:04:30.53
"Pastor, that hole in the ground
00:04:30.57\00:04:32.77
and that new tree
represent my life.
00:04:32.80\00:04:36.00
The old Jerry is
buried down there
00:04:36.04\00:04:38.27
and that new fruit tree
represents the new Jerry
00:04:38.31\00:04:41.74
because I am now
living a new life."
00:04:41.78\00:04:46.48
Through the
presence of the Holy Spirit
00:04:46.51\00:04:49.08
moving in our lives we
confess our sins to God.
00:04:49.12\00:04:54.16
We accept the righteousness
of Jesus on our behalf
00:04:54.19\00:04:57.06
and we are enabled
00:04:57.09\00:04:58.43
to resist the
temptations of the devil.
00:04:58.46\00:05:00.80
Think about these
promises from the Bible.
00:05:00.83\00:05:03.26
These are instructions
for living a victorious life.
00:05:03.30\00:05:07.60
2 Corinthians
5:17 reminds us that,
00:05:07.64\00:05:10.54
"If anyone is in Jesus
Christ, he is a new creation.
00:05:10.57\00:05:15.21
Old things have passed away."
00:05:15.24\00:05:19.01
1 Thessalonians
4:3 declares that
00:05:19.05\00:05:22.68
"It is God's will for
you to walk in victory,
00:05:22.72\00:05:26.29
in victory over sin."
00:05:26.32\00:05:30.33
Matthew 5:29-30 tells us to
00:05:30.36\00:05:33.43
"Separate ourselves
from anyone and anything
00:05:33.46\00:05:36.80
that tempts us into sin."
00:05:36.83\00:05:40.80
Romans 12:21 says
00:05:40.84\00:05:43.27
"To replace negative
people and negative things
00:05:43.30\00:05:46.71
with positive
people and things."
00:05:46.74\00:05:50.31
And I do love Galatians 5:22-26
00:05:50.35\00:05:56.28
as it lists the
fruit of the Spirit
00:05:56.32\00:05:58.02
by which evil desires
of the flesh maybe subdued.
00:05:58.05\00:06:02.02
In fact, listen
to this scripture.
00:06:02.06\00:06:05.09
"The fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace,
00:06:05.13\00:06:07.76
longsuffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness,
00:06:07.80\00:06:12.53
gentleness, self-control.
00:06:12.57\00:06:14.77
Against such there is no law.
00:06:14.80\00:06:19.74
And those who are Christ's
they have crucified the flesh
00:06:19.77\00:06:25.35
with its passions and desires.
00:06:25.38\00:06:28.18
If we live in the Spirit,
let us also walk in the Spirit.
00:06:28.22\00:06:32.35
Let us not become conceited,
00:06:32.39\00:06:33.96
provoking one another
and envying one another."
00:06:33.99\00:06:37.49
So make this your prayer.
00:06:43.90\00:06:45.97
Holy Spirit rain down
00:06:46.00\00:06:53.27
Rain down
00:06:53.31\00:06:57.78
Oh, Comforter and Friend
00:06:57.81\00:07:02.95
How we need your touch again
00:07:02.98\00:07:07.52
Holy Spirit rain down
00:07:07.56\00:07:14.10
Rain down
00:07:14.13\00:07:18.37
Let Your power fall
00:07:18.40\00:07:21.07
Let Your voice be heard
00:07:21.10\00:07:23.51
Come and change our hearts
00:07:23.54\00:07:25.91
As we stand on Your word
00:07:25.94\00:07:29.24
Holy Spirit
00:07:29.28\00:07:34.75
Rain down
00:07:34.78\00:07:38.99
Now join me in
this time of prayer.
00:07:43.59\00:07:47.70
Dear Lord, I know
that it is Your will for me
00:07:47.73\00:07:51.03
to overcome all
sin in Your strength.
00:07:51.07\00:07:55.90
Please fill me
with Your Holy Spirit
00:07:55.94\00:07:58.44
and guide me into all truth.
00:07:58.47\00:08:03.21
In the name of Jesus
and through His blood,
00:08:03.24\00:08:05.15
I rebuke Satan
00:08:05.18\00:08:07.02
and his evil spirits in my life.
00:08:07.05\00:08:10.29
Please, Lord, drive the devil
out of my life and in my home.
00:08:10.32\00:08:15.76
Let only truth and righteousness
00:08:15.79\00:08:17.63
dwell with me.
00:08:17.66\00:08:18.99
Dear Father, saturate my life
00:08:23.03\00:08:25.63
with the presence
of the Holy Spirit.
00:08:25.67\00:08:27.60
May His power flow
through me to minister
00:08:33.74\00:08:37.65
to those who are still
trapped in the snare of sin.
00:08:37.68\00:08:42.18
Or bring them to Jesus
00:08:47.22\00:08:48.62
so that their
chains may be broken.
00:08:48.66\00:08:50.49
Father, I ask
that You would help us
00:08:56.06\00:08:57.40
to be patient and kind
00:08:57.43\00:08:59.20
showing Your love and pity
00:08:59.23\00:09:00.70
to those who
annoy us and accuse us.
00:09:00.74\00:09:05.51
And we pray for those
who care for the elderly,
00:09:10.05\00:09:15.38
those who care for
the sick family members.
00:09:18.95\00:09:20.96
We ask God that You
would give them patience,
00:09:24.36\00:09:27.00
give them strength and love.
00:09:27.03\00:09:28.66
Lord, I pray
that You would please
00:09:32.33\00:09:34.04
ease the anxiety of those
00:09:34.07\00:09:36.57
who are facing
terminal illnesses.
00:09:36.60\00:09:38.81
Lord, grant them courage
00:09:43.08\00:09:46.72
and give them
the peace of Jesus.
00:09:46.75\00:09:48.52
Lord, I pray for
churches around this world
00:09:59.43\00:10:03.06
as they reach out
to their communities
00:10:03.10\00:10:04.93
with loving service,
00:10:04.97\00:10:07.44
with Bible studies,
and personal witnessing.
00:10:07.47\00:10:12.04
Holy Spirit, I ask
00:10:12.07\00:10:13.41
that You will
prepare each, every heart.
00:10:13.44\00:10:18.85
Give them a hunger
and a desire for Christ
00:10:18.88\00:10:23.25
that will make them
receptive to Your truth, God.
00:10:23.28\00:10:28.66
Father, we pray for the
baptism of the Holy Spirit
00:10:36.56\00:10:39.23
upon our youth and
on our young leaders.
00:10:39.27\00:10:44.34
As promised, in Acts 1:8,
00:10:44.37\00:10:48.21
where we're told
we will receive power
00:10:48.24\00:10:50.81
when that Holy
Spirit has come upon us
00:10:50.85\00:10:54.25
and we will be
witnesses for You.
00:10:54.28\00:10:56.48
Lord, I pray
that You would show us
00:11:03.29\00:11:09.13
a God given strategy
00:11:09.16\00:11:11.17
for reaching the
Jerichos of the world.
00:11:11.20\00:11:13.50
And give us a
strategy for leading the Rahabs
00:11:17.37\00:11:19.97
in every city to
salvation in Christ.
00:11:20.01\00:11:22.78
Father, I lift up those
who for Your sake are killed
00:11:28.78\00:11:35.26
all day long,
00:11:35.29\00:11:37.99
those who are accounted
as sheep for the slaughter.
00:11:38.03\00:11:42.76
God, I lift up Christians
00:11:42.80\00:11:44.13
who have left their comfort zone
00:11:44.17\00:11:46.53
to make sure that the
gospel reaches the lost,
00:11:46.57\00:11:49.07
and those very people
are being persecuted now.
00:11:52.31\00:11:57.15
Lord, I don't understand that,
but I know You have a plan.
00:11:57.18\00:12:03.79
Holy Spirit
protects those people,
00:12:03.82\00:12:07.26
give them perseverance,
00:12:07.29\00:12:09.12
and build up their
faith in You, oh, God.
00:12:09.16\00:12:11.53
Make them see.
00:12:11.56\00:12:12.96
It's about what lies
down the road in eternity,
00:12:16.46\00:12:22.87
the lives that they
will change forever.
00:12:22.90\00:12:26.24
God, I pray that You
will grant me the grace
00:12:33.45\00:12:37.15
to be patient and vigilant
00:12:37.19\00:12:42.06
in watching, and waiting,
and listening attentively
00:12:42.09\00:12:45.69
so that I don't miss
00:12:45.73\00:12:47.06
when the Holy
Spirit speaks to me, God.
00:12:47.10\00:12:51.80
Remove whatever hinders me
from receiving and giving joy,
00:12:51.83\00:12:56.60
peace, justice, mercy, and love.
00:12:56.64\00:12:59.61
Father, I lift
up the downtrodden,
00:13:05.45\00:13:08.35
those who are oppressed,
those who are outcast.
00:13:08.38\00:13:15.22
Father, the
prisoner, I lift them up.
00:13:15.26\00:13:18.36
I lift up the weak, I
lift up the defenseless.
00:13:18.39\00:13:21.53
Show me how I can
put my prayers to work,
00:13:25.30\00:13:30.21
how I can put my faith to work,
00:13:30.24\00:13:31.97
how I can put skin on my prayers
00:13:32.01\00:13:36.08
and be part of the answer.
00:13:39.28\00:13:41.05
Father, I just pray for
a Holy Spirit outpouring.
00:13:46.15\00:13:49.09
Holy Spirit
00:13:55.50\00:13:57.43
Rain down
00:13:57.47\00:14:03.54
Rain down
00:14:03.57\00:14:09.34
Oh, Comforter and Friend
00:14:09.38\00:14:14.92
How we need Your touch again
00:14:14.95\00:14:20.56
Holy Spirit
00:14:20.59\00:14:22.66
Rain down
00:14:22.69\00:14:28.73
Rain down
00:14:28.76\00:14:33.97
Let Your power fall
00:14:34.00\00:14:36.97
Let Your voice be heard
00:14:37.01\00:14:39.64
Come and change our hearts
00:14:39.67\00:14:42.74
As we stand on Your word
00:14:42.78\00:14:48.38
Holy Spirit
00:14:48.42\00:14:50.75
Holy Spirit rain down
00:14:54.22\00:15:00.80
Lord, I think of all the people
00:15:07.10\00:15:10.11
who have trusted in
You throughout time.
00:15:10.14\00:15:13.21
I recall in my life
00:15:13.24\00:15:15.04
the many signs and wonders
00:15:15.08\00:15:17.38
that You have shown
00:15:17.41\00:15:18.75
to establish Your name among us.
00:15:18.78\00:15:20.68
Now I'm proud to belong to those
00:15:20.72\00:15:22.82
who hold on to you today.
00:15:22.85\00:15:25.65
Father, may our
hearts be kept faithful
00:15:25.69\00:15:28.79
through Your Spirit.
00:15:28.82\00:15:32.19
Even as there are
great hardships in our times
00:15:32.23\00:15:35.40
and, Lord, everything
seems on the verge of collapse.
00:15:35.43\00:15:40.80
Even if the world perishes,
00:15:40.84\00:15:43.00
God, You are our stronghold.
00:15:43.04\00:15:45.74
This truth remains forever.
00:15:49.44\00:15:52.61
And in You, we want to hold true
00:15:52.65\00:15:55.02
until Your great day comes,
00:15:55.05\00:15:57.92
until the power of the Savior
is revealed in many people
00:15:57.95\00:16:01.82
so that in their misery,
00:16:01.86\00:16:04.03
they can believe and
find help and comfort.
00:16:04.06\00:16:07.40
God, I pray that
the love of the world
00:16:10.53\00:16:12.20
and the cares of this life
00:16:12.23\00:16:13.67
would not
separate our souls from You
00:16:13.70\00:16:16.37
and that weak
would deny yourself
00:16:16.40\00:16:19.47
to impart light to others
00:16:19.51\00:16:23.91
and give our means to
extend Your light to others.
00:16:23.95\00:16:29.38
God, help us not
to have a selfish love
00:16:29.42\00:16:33.96
for the world's
perishable things
00:16:33.99\00:16:36.96
to hold on to things loosely,
00:16:36.99\00:16:41.63
but hold on to You tightly.
00:16:41.66\00:16:45.47
God, thank You
for the men and women
00:16:45.50\00:16:47.04
who serve our country
00:16:47.07\00:16:49.54
in leadership roles
and for their families.
00:16:49.57\00:16:54.08
God, remind us,
00:16:54.11\00:16:57.08
and remind our leaders of
their duty to public service
00:16:57.11\00:17:00.25
and grant them
strength to use their office
00:17:00.28\00:17:03.05
to make wise decisions
as they lead our country.
00:17:03.08\00:17:08.76
Lord, give them peace
00:17:08.79\00:17:10.13
when their work takes
them away from their families.
00:17:10.16\00:17:15.10
And I also pray specifically
00:17:15.13\00:17:18.83
for the wives, the husbands,
00:17:18.87\00:17:21.37
and the children of our leaders.
00:17:21.40\00:17:25.01
Lord, we ask that
You draw near to them
00:17:25.04\00:17:26.88
and give them the wisdom
00:17:26.91\00:17:28.64
on how to best
support one another,
00:17:28.68\00:17:31.65
while their loved
one is away working.
00:17:31.68\00:17:33.98
And, Lord, I
want to pray for those
00:17:39.25\00:17:40.82
who are fighting a battle
00:17:40.86\00:17:43.22
against someone who
probably isn't a Christian
00:17:43.26\00:17:46.13
and it's frankly getting ugly.
00:17:46.16\00:17:50.50
I encourage You
00:17:50.53\00:17:53.13
if you're out
there fighting a battle
00:17:53.17\00:17:57.11
with someone who
is not a Christian,
00:17:57.14\00:17:59.14
remember, we wrestle
not with flesh and blood,
00:18:04.05\00:18:06.21
and claim Exodus
14:14 which says,
00:18:10.75\00:18:13.99
"The Lord shall fight for you,
and you shall hold your peace."
00:18:14.02\00:18:19.73
And while we wait for the answer
00:18:27.47\00:18:29.00
to all of these prayers,
00:18:29.04\00:18:31.61
I want to
encourage you to remember.
00:18:31.64\00:18:33.44
Remember to praise the Lord
00:18:38.31\00:18:41.18
and to thank Him
for hearing your prayers
00:18:41.22\00:18:44.12
and having His holy way.
00:18:44.15\00:18:45.72
And remember to praise Him.
00:18:51.39\00:18:55.00
When I saw the
cleansing fountain
00:18:55.03\00:19:01.87
Open wide for all my sin
00:19:01.90\00:19:08.78
I obeyed the Spirit's wooing
00:19:08.81\00:19:15.48
When He said,
"Wilt thou be clean?"
00:19:15.52\00:19:20.46
I will praise Him!
00:19:24.33\00:19:29.03
I will praise Him!
00:19:29.06\00:19:34.04
Praise the Lamb
00:19:34.07\00:19:37.34
For sinners slain
00:19:37.37\00:19:44.31
Give Him glory all ye people
00:19:44.35\00:19:50.09
For His blood
00:19:50.12\00:19:52.39
Has washed away each day
00:19:52.42\00:19:58.26
Blessed be the name of Jesus!
00:20:01.56\00:20:07.40
I'm so glad
00:20:07.44\00:20:09.94
He took me in
00:20:09.97\00:20:14.31
He's forgiven
00:20:14.34\00:20:17.18
My transgressions
00:20:17.21\00:20:22.62
He has cleansed me
00:20:22.65\00:20:25.65
From all sin
00:20:25.69\00:20:31.39
I will praise Him!
00:20:31.43\00:20:35.60
I will praise Him!
00:20:35.63\00:20:39.97
Praise the Lamb
00:20:40.00\00:20:43.51
For sinners slain
00:20:43.54\00:20:49.31
Give Him glory, all ye people
00:20:49.34\00:20:56.25
For His blood can wash away
00:20:56.28\00:21:01.66
Each stain
00:21:01.69\00:21:06.63
Yes, His blood
00:21:06.66\00:21:09.50
Can wash away
00:21:09.53\00:21:12.87
Each stain
00:21:12.90\00:21:17.01
Father, Lord, we take
time to give You thanks.
00:21:21.71\00:21:26.01
I come to You
with a thankful heart,
00:21:26.05\00:21:27.72
and I just want
to lift up my voice
00:21:27.75\00:21:30.22
to praise Your glorious
name for all of Your goodness
00:21:30.25\00:21:33.76
and for Your
loving kindness to me.
00:21:33.79\00:21:38.79
Thank you for Jesus and
for my eternal salvation.
00:21:38.83\00:21:44.87
Thank You for my life
00:21:44.90\00:21:46.23
and for all the joys
that You have given me,
00:21:46.27\00:21:50.47
for my friends and my family,
00:21:50.51\00:21:53.74
for my home and
my daily provisions.
00:21:53.78\00:21:55.98
Oh, how precious to know that,
00:22:00.08\00:22:01.95
Lord, Your mercies
are new every morning.
00:22:01.98\00:22:05.35
Great is Your
faithfulness to me, Father.
00:22:05.39\00:22:09.22
And thank You that You have
not taken away those mercies
00:22:09.26\00:22:13.16
or Your compassions from us,
00:22:13.19\00:22:14.66
but in every
succeeding generation,
00:22:14.70\00:22:18.73
you save, and you deliver,
and you assist and you protect.
00:22:18.77\00:22:22.67
Thank you God for the Bible
00:22:26.54\00:22:29.74
and for all the
many precious promises
00:22:29.78\00:22:31.78
the Bible contains
and for the many promises
00:22:31.81\00:22:34.28
You have fulfilled in my
life day after day after day.
00:22:34.32\00:22:40.49
Thank you, God.
00:22:40.52\00:22:43.56
I praise Your name
00:22:43.59\00:22:45.46
for no matter what comes my way,
00:22:45.49\00:22:47.10
You have gone
ahead to prepare my way.
00:22:47.13\00:22:51.77
Lord, accept my thanks,
00:22:51.80\00:22:55.27
accept my love in
Jesus' precious name.
00:22:55.30\00:23:00.08
Now I encourage you
00:23:03.41\00:23:06.45
to let someone know
that you've prayed for them.
00:23:06.48\00:23:11.59
Let them know that
they are not alone,
00:23:11.62\00:23:14.52
they are not
neglected in this world.
00:23:14.56\00:23:19.86
And if you haven't
yet spent some time
00:23:19.89\00:23:23.16
interceding for someone else,
00:23:23.20\00:23:25.23
someone that you
know is in dire straits,
00:23:25.27\00:23:29.67
someone that may not even know
00:23:29.70\00:23:33.48
that they need Christ.
00:23:33.51\00:23:37.45
I encourage you to
stop where you are,
00:23:37.48\00:23:41.65
and take time to pray.
00:23:47.76\00:23:49.92
Just call out
their name to the Father.
00:23:49.96\00:23:51.96
Imagine if that were
you in need of prayer.
00:23:57.20\00:24:01.40
I am Thine, O Lord
00:24:25.86\00:24:29.73
I have heard Your voice
00:24:29.76\00:24:34.07
And it told Thy love to me
00:24:34.10\00:24:41.68
But I long to rise
00:24:41.71\00:24:45.88
In the arms of faith
00:24:45.91\00:24:50.25
And be closer drawn
00:24:50.29\00:24:55.72
To Thee
00:24:55.76\00:24:58.79
Consecrate me now
to Your service, Lord
00:25:00.96\00:25:07.44
By the power
00:25:07.47\00:25:10.47
Of Your grace divine
00:25:10.51\00:25:15.04
Let my soul look up
00:25:15.08\00:25:19.01
With a steadfast hope
00:25:19.05\00:25:22.98
And my will be lost
00:25:23.02\00:25:27.66
In Thine
00:25:27.69\00:25:31.13
Draw me nearer
00:25:31.16\00:25:36.77
Nearer, preciousk Lord
00:25:36.80\00:25:39.60
To the cross
00:25:39.63\00:25:41.60
Where Thou hast died
00:25:41.64\00:25:47.58
Draw me nearer
00:25:47.61\00:25:53.08
Nearer, blessed Lord
00:25:53.11\00:25:58.75
To Thy precious
00:25:58.79\00:26:02.62
Bleeding side
00:26:02.66\00:26:08.03
In Matthew 17:20,
00:26:13.03\00:26:15.54
Jesus taught, "I
tell you the truth.
00:26:15.57\00:26:18.47
If you have faith as
small as a mustard seed,
00:26:18.51\00:26:21.14
you can say to this mountain,
00:26:21.18\00:26:22.74
move from here to
there, and it will move.
00:26:22.78\00:26:26.38
Nothing will be
impossible for you."
00:26:26.41\00:26:30.22
In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5.
00:26:30.25\00:26:32.85
It tells us that the
weapons we fight with,
00:26:32.89\00:26:36.19
they are not
weapons of this world.
00:26:36.22\00:26:38.96
On the contrary,
they have divine power,
00:26:38.99\00:26:43.60
power to demolish strongholds.
00:26:43.63\00:26:48.44
We demolish
arguments and every pretension
00:26:48.47\00:26:51.27
that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God.
00:26:51.31\00:26:55.61
And we take
captive every thought
00:26:55.64\00:26:58.15
to make it obedient to Christ.
00:26:58.18\00:26:59.91
You see the Bible urges
us to pray in the Spirit
00:27:03.32\00:27:06.09
on all occasions
00:27:06.12\00:27:08.82
with all kinds of
prayer and requests.
00:27:08.86\00:27:13.29
So with this in mind, I
encourage you to be alert,
00:27:13.33\00:27:17.17
and always keep on
praying for all of the saints.
00:27:17.20\00:27:21.90
Draw me nearer
00:27:21.94\00:27:27.48
Nearer, blessed Lord
00:27:27.51\00:27:30.21
To the cross
00:27:30.25\00:27:32.01
Where Thou hast died
00:27:32.05\00:27:37.59
Draw me nearer
00:27:37.62\00:27:42.52
Nearer, blessed Lord
00:27:42.56\00:27:48.23
To Thy precious
00:27:48.26\00:27:51.93
Bleeding side
00:27:51.97\00:27:58.37
